Hearing the noise at the door, the proprietress looked up and saw the man with triangular eyes limping in. Curious, she asked, "What happened to you? You look like a wounded soldier."
The man with the triangular eyes said angrily, "Boss lady, didn't you know your husband beat me up?"
The proprietress exclaimed in surprise, "You... what nonsense are you talking about? My husband went to his uncle's house yesterday, which is thousands of miles away. How could he come back to beat you?"
"Your husband is out?"
"Yes, why would I lie to you? My husband's uncle suddenly had a stroke and I heard he's dying. His uncle has no children and wants my husband to inherit his estate."
The man with the triangular eyes scratched his head and said, "Maybe your husband sent someone to beat me up before he left. In any case, your husband is the mastermind behind it all."
The proprietress chuckled and said, "Why would my husband hit you? He doesn't even know you."
"Your husband knows I bought you a necklace; you're already my mistress."
The shop owner burst into laughter and said, "I won't tell my husband about buying the necklace. He doesn't know we're having an affair, so why would he send someone to beat you up?"
"Boss lady, does your husband really not know about our relationship?"
"Do you think I'm stupid? I won't let anyone else know about this except you and me. I'd have to be crazy to tell my husband."
The man with the triangular eyes muttered, "That's strange. The guy who beat me up keeps saying I cheated on him. I've never cheated on a man in my life. I'm so wronged."
"Oh dear! I think the person who beat you up must have mistaken you for someone else. This kind of thing happens often. Maybe it's because you look a lot like someone. You're so confused. You should have asked what happened. You can't just get beaten up for no reason."
The man with triangular eyes rubbed his buttocks and grinned, saying, "That guy didn't ask any questions. He first whipped me twenty times with a belt before even asking me anything. He immediately blamed me for cheating on him, so my first suspicion was: the person who hit me was your husband."
"You don't understand my husband at all. He's a coward. Even if you sleep with me in front of him, he'll only dare to scold you. He won't dare to lay a hand on you because he probably can't beat you."
The man with the triangular eyes muttered, "Could it be that we really got the wrong dock? Then I'm truly innocent, having taken a beating for someone else for nothing."
"You're such a fool. You should have asked clearly. As people say, if you're going to die, you should die knowing why. Look at you, you got beaten up and you still don't know why."
"I...I was beaten so badly I was completely disoriented. Besides, I was feeling guilty."
The proprietress asked, "Are you having affairs with other women?"
"No, absolutely not. I've never touched another woman in my life except my wife. Although you've agreed to be my mistress, we haven't slept together yet. It's just my bad luck that I got caught gambling that day and was detained for seven days, which ruined our plans."
The proprietress looked at the triangular-eyed man with disdain and said, "You're just a coward. You got wronged and beaten up."
Suddenly, the man with the triangular eyes slapped his thigh and said, "I remember now, the guy who beat me up told me not to harass women. In my entire life, I've never harassed any other woman except my ex-wife. Could it be that the person who beat me up was sent by my ex-wife?"
The proprietress pondered for a moment and said, "You, you harass your ex-wife every few days, asking her for money. It must have been unbearable for her, so she sent someone to beat you up."
The man with the triangular eyes muttered, "That's unlikely. Although my ex-wife is a rich second-generation, she has a gentle personality and wouldn't do such a despicable thing. Besides, I am my daughter's biological father. If she kills me, my daughter will be without a father."
"Just call your ex-wife and ask her."
The restaurant had a phone, and the man with the triangular eyes immediately called his ex-wife: "Xiao Jie, I have a question for you: Did you send someone to beat me up?"
Xiao Jie knew immediately that Ma Yunfei had already beaten up her ex-husband.
"What did you say? Did someone beat you up?"
"Yeah, just an hour ago, a big, burly man dragged me into the woods and whipped me twenty times with a belt. Damn it, he whipped my buttocks raw. I don't even dare to sit down now."
"You... what makes you think I sent people to beat you up?"
"You must think I'm causing you trouble, so you sent someone to beat me up and tell me to stop harassing you. The guy who beat me up said I'm not allowed to harass any women."
“You…you’re making baseless accusations. Every time you harass me, I can call the police. But because you are my daughter’s biological father, I’ve tolerated you time and time again. I haven’t even gone through legal channels. Why would I resort to such despicable means?”
"Yeah, I don't really believe you would send someone to beat me up either, but I haven't offended anyone. In this world, the only person who hates me is you."
"You...you mustn't forget that you once won money from other people at the gambling table. Those people will hate you. Also, you are sometimes indiscreet and you joke around with other people's wives, which may make people hold a grudge against you."
After thinking about it, the man with the triangular eyes realized that his ex-wife was right. He had indeed won money from some people, and he was sometimes indecent, liking to joke around with married women.
Once, he went to visit a friend's house, but his friend wasn't home. It was summer, and his friend's wife was dressed very lightly, which tempted him.
He actually pinched his friend's wife's buttocks, causing the woman to scream and attracting a lot of attention from the neighbors.
The man with the triangular eyes was so frightened that he ran away. Later, this guy came looking for him, but he went into hiding.
It's possible that this guy sent people to beat him up; that's not out of the question.
The man with the triangular eyes was somewhat frightened. He thought: If there is a first day of the month, there will be a fifteenth.
Perhaps, other men will come after him.
Now that he's divorced his wife, he used to be arrogant and domineering because of her influence. Now that he's become a fallen phoenix, those who hate him will gang up on him.
After hanging up Xiaojie's call, the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. He finally made up his mind that he had to leave the city immediately and go somewhere where no one knew him to start a new life.
To start a new life, you need to have some money on hand.
The man with triangular eyes took all the money out of his pocket, counted it, and found that he only had a little over a thousand yuan left.
This money won't be of much use.
If he goes to another city, he will have to rent a house and buy a set of daily necessities. If he can't find a job for a while, he will also need to have some living expenses.
