I lit a cigarette, squinted, took a puff, and replied with a smile, "There's definitely a bit of a letdown, but it won't affect my mood... Because even when I had money, I didn't buy myself anything decent... That 7 Series was an exception; I only drove it for two days before selling it to Song. Although I lost over 100,000 yuan, I don't regret it... That was my..."
The most glorious moment of my life!
"You've ruined a winning hand... I really don't understand why you transferred the house in Dali to Lu Jia's name in the first place!"
I remained silent, just quietly smoking.
Nicole sighed again: "If you weren't this kind of person... I'm afraid no woman would be so devoted to you... Who can really say what the gains and losses are in this!"
"People who are too calculating live a tiring life... Some things are better left unsaid."
After a moment of silence, Nicole patted my shoulder and said, "Cheer up... Don't be a sleeping lion, where even an ant will want to take a bite out of you."
"Then what should I do?...A cunning fox?"
Nicole didn't take it as a joke. She replied seriously, "Wake up first... Only when you are strong will others dare to tell you about their grievances."
I nodded, having some thoughts in my mind, but I didn't say them aloud.
...
Nicole is such a good friend. Even though I had already refused, she still transferred 5,000 yuan to me via WeChat before I went to the bar. It's not a lot of money, but it's enough to get me out of this tight spot...
After Nicole left, the yard suddenly became quiet. I sat on the deck chair, wearing the new coat Yang Sisi had bought me. I didn't use my phone much all afternoon; I kept thinking about what I should do once my leg recovered…
As I pondered this, it was already dusk, and I received another call from my cousin Dai Qiang…
Even though he hasn't called me, I'm thinking of calling him sometime... I need him to persuade Lao Mi and my mom that they should go back to the county town. Here, they keep bringing up Lu Jia's two houses, and I really can't concentrate.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the call connected, Dai Qiang said to me anxiously, "Brother... something big has happened... two senior executives in charge of real estate development in our group were taken away for investigation by the Economic Crime Investigation Department this morning... There are rumors in the group that this is the result of factional infighting... these two are both my sister-in-law's enemies... my sister-in-law has been holding back for so long, and she has finally started to make her move!"
