Chen Haonan sighed.
He treated Datou as a friend, and the anxiety on his face was definitely not a disguise.
He handed me a cigarette, lit it for me, and chuckled, "I can't even imagine what a sensation it would cause if you went to a big company.
Aunt Wang is the vice president, but she actually has the final say in the entire company. If you go, you will definitely be surrounded by stars, those beautiful and well-educated women..."
Maybe it was because he saw that my attitude was too cold.
Chen Haonan quickly changed the subject and continued talking about Datou, "He's trying to use his gambling addiction to replace his drug addiction. Isn't that stupid thinking?"
"It's silly enough that multiple addictions can coexist in one person. Hobbies can be replaced, but addictions cannot.
But in my opinion, Datou is the kind of person who pretends to be pitiful when things go wrong, but becomes arrogant when he succeeds. You should just leave him alone."
"I know what kind of person he is, but I can't expect all my friends to be saints. After all, we've been playing together for so many years, and it really hurts to see Datou courting death.
You have no idea how excited Datou was when he started winning. He said he was a gifted man from heaven, having found the fairest online gambling site. From now on, whenever he felt like skating, he'd just open the online gambling site and play cards. Once he won 5 million, his drug addiction was gone.
"What's the result?" I asked.
"The good times didn't last long. I had wins and losses a few times. I won 150,000 but couldn't win anymore. Suddenly, I lost more than 300,000.
But Datou didn't think there was anything wrong with the online gambling site, but rather that he was too arrogant and that there was something wrong with his playing style. He said that he shouldn't have followed so many hands with a Flush and a Leopard.
I said, if the opponent didn’t have a leopard, you wouldn’t say that if your straight flush won.
He simply couldn't listen. Once he started gambling online, his attention was extremely focused. He even made a notebook to record various card patterns in 炸金花, 斗地主, and 斗牛, believing that there was a pattern in them.
But the more he tried to find patterns, the more he lost. He had already lost over 2 million, and he threatened that if he lost 3 million, he would cruelly throw himself into a drug rehabilitation center.
While Chen Haonan was talking, he was also browsing the unused games on the online gambling site.
I said angrily, "Why, you want to register too?"
"I haven't thought about registering, but I do imagine winning over 100,000 yuan. My current annual salary, including bonuses and benefits, is 300,000 yuan, but a little over 100,000 yuan is equivalent to half a year's salary."
"Forget it now! Don't play. It's easy to get addicted and fall into it. To be honest, I've noticed this online gambling site for a long time. There are people around me who play it."
"Did you win?"
"Win first, then lose. It's even more addictive than real-life poker, it's almost driving me crazy! With these kinds of online gambling sites, not everyone can win tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan the moment they sign up. Instead, they use deposit amounts and user information to gauge a gambler's financial resources, then decide how much you can win before you start losing."
"Don't worry, I don't play. I don't have any gambling addiction. I only play cards to save face and make myself look like I know everything. But in fact, I know what's wrong with me."
Judging from how efficiently Chen Haonan closed the online gambling site, he would not fall into the trap.
What's more, he lives at home and has parental supervision.
Since childhood, Chen Haonan has always listened to his parents.
But my upbringing was very different.
After Wang Lian left home, my father doted on me even more.
My strengths and weaknesses are all fine in my father's eyes.
The door opened.
Liu Cuiling walked in.
"What are the two kids watching? Are there any scenes that are inconvenient for the elders to see?"
"Mom, you've been glancing at the computer screen. If there was one, you'd have seen it."
Chen Haonan and I walked out and sat down at the dining table.
Several dishes, two kinds of dumplings.
No one drank alcohol at dinner, everyone just had drinks.
Liu Cuiling looked at me with a smile: "Dong Hang, eat more dumplings, at least 35."
"Well, I've eaten more than ten."
I concentrated on eating, but my thoughts were hard to stop.
Seeing that I was almost full, Liu Cuiling mentioned Victoria Victoria.
"What your Uncle Chen told you is the truth. When Wang Lian and Bai Zhiyuan broke up, it was Bai Zhiyuan who initiated it. Later, it was Bai Zhiyuan who remained single and waited and tried desperately to win her back. What's wrong with having a high education? He's like a psychopath!"
"But then, Wang Lian and my father divorced. Who initiated it? Was there any hidden reason?"
"Your parents' divorce was initiated by Wang Lian. Your father, Lao Dong, had no obvious fault, but there was a misunderstanding.
At that time, Lao Dong was in his thirties, and his appearance and figure were at their peak. However, he was dragged into a car and raped by a woman from society.
Who would have thought that that flamboyant society lady had apricot disease, passed it on to your father, and then your father passed it on to your mother...
Dong Hang, don't stare at me, everything I said is true!"
Liu Cuiling was frightened by my expression. After hurriedly explaining, she started eating dumplings.
"Aunt Liu, please continue."
"After dinner, let's talk slowly. You're staying here tonight, so there's plenty of time to chat."
Liu Cuiling clinked her drink with mine and smiled gently, "In the adult world, there is no right or wrong, only suitable or inappropriate.
What’s important for young people is to be optimistic and open-minded, and never give up the wealth and status that rightfully belong to them.”
"Aunt Liu, don't you mean whoever gives you milk is your mother?"
"Whether Wang Lian has milk or not, it's still your mother!"
Liu Cuiling said these two words in a very aggressive tone, and then started eating dumplings.
After dinner, we sat on the sofa in the living room, watching TV series and talking.
A scene appeared, and Chen Haonan and I were embarrassed to watch it in front of our elders.
Liu Cuiling laughed and said, "The censorship of this TV series is quite strict. The man just now kept moving. It would be better if the woman was filmed as well."
Chen Bajin was very disdainful: "What are you thinking? If women are also on camera, won't it be exposed?"
"Is it impossible for the fake play to become real?"
"No need. After the performance, they can do whatever they want."
Chen Bajin used his eyes to remind Liu Cuiling to continue with the useful topic.
Liu Cuiling drank a cup of tea and said with a sigh, "Old Beijing flower tea is fragrant, but it can't compare to the West Lake Longjing tea that Hangzhou Haitang gave you."
I asked, "What's the relationship between Hangzhou crabapple and Victoria amazonica?"
