After Li Manmei was dragged back to her hometown by her father and eldest brother, Li's mother forcefully confiscated her mobile phone, wallet, ID card, and bank card. She had nothing on her and could not leave the village. She wanted to call her poker friends for help, but her poker friends' phone numbers were saved in her mobile phone. She did not remember their phone numbers at all, but she remembered Han Ze's phone number. She and Han Ze had divorced, and it was Han Ze who asked her father and eldest brother to bring her home. She hated Han Ze so much, so how could she be willing to call him for help.
Li's parents were determined to help their daughter quit gambling. Even though she had nothing but clothes on her, Li's mother stayed by her side. They thought that Manmei was divorced, and as parents and brothers, if they didn't care about her, she would continue to degenerate and gamble all day long, and her life would be ruined. They had to keep her under control.
"Mom, why are you following me? I don't have a penny in my pocket. You confiscated my ID card and bank card. I don't even have money to leave the village. What are you worried about?"
Li Manmei was almost going crazy. She had thought that after the divorce, she could gamble to her heart's content. She had money, no one would care about her, and her children were taken care of by their father. She thought her free and independent life would be so wonderful. However, she did not expect that her parents and eldest brother would mess things up.
She is married and has two children (although divorced), and her parents still take care of her as if she were their own child. Doesn't she have any dignity? Besides, gambling is about winning and losing. In the past, Han Ze gave her less money each time, so if she lost, she lost and there was no chance to turn it around. Now that she has more money, she can win back the money she lost before. Why don't her parents understand? Didn't she feel bad for losing so much money before
Li's mother ignored her and followed her closely. The child's father told her very clearly that if her daughter divorced, Han Ze would give her four large houses in the provincial capital and more than one million yuan in cash.
My daughter is 29 years old this year. She is still young. She has quit gambling and found a job. She has four houses, one for her own use and the other three for rent. She doesn't have to worry about the children. If she wants, she can find an honest man to marry. She can live a very happy life in the future, provided that she is willing to quit gambling.
Li Manmei was locked up at home by her parents and brothers and was not allowed to go out. She was addicted to gambling and was making a scene at home. The eldest brother of the Li family had no choice but to set up a table and play cards with her. Winnings and losses were not counted, but only notes were posted. Li's father, mother and eldest brother often played cards with villagers. They were all good at mahjong. Despite this, Li Manmei always won nine out of ten times when she played with them.
Li Manmei was very proud. She looked at the note on her parents and eldest brother's faces and said, "I failed in love but succeeded in gambling. Look at my luck now. My parents and eldest brother, why don't you send me to the provincial capital quickly? I lost so much money before, I have to go and win it back."
Li's parents and eldest brother: "..."
They really didn't give any money. Could it be true that Manmei said that he failed in love but succeeded in gambling
In the evening, Li Guangxin called Han Ze and said suspiciously, "She plays Manmei well. Even if she doesn't win, she can't lose so much money. Could it be that someone knew she had money and deliberately set up a trap to cheat her money?"
Han Ze frowned and sat up straight. He was not very interested in playing cards. He usually played small cards with his business friends for socializing. He did not ask about the details of gambling. He said, "How about this, I'll ask my friends first."
After hanging up the phone, Han Ze knocked on the table, thought for a moment, and called Dong Sheng.
"Han Ze, why did you think of calling me? I don't have any news about Liu Chengcheng right now."
Dong Sheng's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
Han Ze said helplessly: "Can I only call you to ask about Liu Chengcheng? I have something important to talk to you about."
"Hey, what's the matter?"
Han Ze thought for a moment and said, "It's like this. My ex-wife lost millions playing mahjong in just two months. I seldom play mahjong, so I don't understand how she lost. Is it possible that someone deliberately set up a trap to cheat her?"
Dong Sheng pondered and said, "It's possible, but not certain. Maybe your ex-wife is just unlucky." After saying that, Dong Sheng laughed unkindly, paused and said, "Your ex-wife is quite rich. She can give away millions."
Han Ze smiled and didn't respond. Instead, he said carefully, "What are the cheating methods used in casinos now?"
Dong Sheng asked, "Does your ex-wife play mahjong? Using the mahjong machine in the mahjong parlor?"
Han Ze said, "Yes."
Dong Sheng suddenly understood and explained to him with a smile: "Some mahjong machines in mahjong parlors are rigged to control the winning and losing. Your ex-wife was most likely set up by someone."
"Whether she was set up or not, the money has already been lost, and there is nothing we can do." Han Ze sighed, thought for a few seconds, and said, "Dong Sheng, can you get me a rigged mahjong machine?"
Dong Sheng paused: "... ...What do you want it for?"
"This is prepared for my ex-wife. Regardless of whether she was set up by someone or not, I have to make her believe that the reason she lost money in the past was all because of someone's deliberate setting up." Han Ze said lightly.
"... ... You are such a cunning boy!" Dong Sheng laughed. "But you and your ex-wife are divorced, why do you still care about her? Are you thinking about your ex-wife or Liu Chengcheng? You don't like both of them, do you?"
Han Ze felt a little uncomfortable and coughed, "No matter what, my ex-wife is also the mother of two children. For the sake of the children, I can't watch their mother gamble like this. What you said doesn't exist."
Dong Sheng: "Do you dare to say that you are not thinking about Liu Chengcheng?"
Han Ze avoided the question and said, "Do you have any solution for the mahjong machine?"
"Sure, I'll ask someone to get you one." Dong Sheng was straightforward and said with a smile, "I'll call you when I get it."
Han Ze smiled and said, "Okay, I won't say much more about thanking you. I'll treat you to a drink later."
Dong Sheng said ambiguously and mysteriously: "It doesn't matter whether you drink or not. Don't forget to attend the class reunion in mid-August. If Liu Chengcheng comes, you won't have a chance to chat after not seeing each other for so many years. Maybe you can even rekindle your old relationship."
Han Ze: “…”
...
Li Guangxin dragged the mahjong machine home and put it in the main room. Li Manmei's hands itched when she saw the mahjong machine and she couldn't help wanting to play a few rounds. Li Guangxin looked at his sister's burning eyes and invited her with a smile: "Call our parents over, let's play a few rounds as a family of four?"
Li Manmei suddenly lost interest and shook her head, saying, "I don't get paid to play with you, so playing mahjong is boring. I won't come."
Li Guangxin plugged in the mahjong machine and said with determination, "Okay, if you want to transfer money, we'll do it."
Li Manmei became interested, quickly sat down, and said, "Come on, come on."
The family of four sat around the mahjong machine, each occupying one side. Before playing, Li Guangxin said, "Manmei, before we play mahjong, let's make a bet, okay?"
Li Manmei was very interested in all kinds of bets. She smiled and asked, "What do you want to bet on?"
Li Guangxin said, "I recently added a special function. Whoever I want to win money will win money, and whoever I want to lose money will lose money. Do you want to take this bet?"
Li Manmei burst out laughing and pouted her lips, showing no interest. She still said, "Okay, I'll play with you."
She is too bored lately, so she wants to play with big brother.
Li Guangxin pointed to where Li's mother was sitting and said mysteriously, "In the next two rounds, our mother will win."
Mother Li shook her head and said with a smile: "If you don't win, I'll give you a punch."
It's really outrageous. Seeing that Manmei didn't make a fuss about going back to the provincial capital these two days, he brought back a mahjong machine. Wouldn't this induce Manmei's gambling addiction again
Li Guangxin shrugged and said casually, "Mom, if you lose, just hit me."
Mother Li ignored him and put the cards in her hand in order. Looking at the cards, her eyes lit up. The cards were so neatly arranged. The girl before her played a card that was exactly what she needed. She touched it and it happened to be the card she was waiting for. She went around again and, eh, she won by self-drawing.
Mother Li was surprised and happy: "I won?"
Li Guangxin raised his eyebrows and looked at Li's mother, then smiled and glanced at Li Manmei: "Am I right?"
Li Manmei snorted: "It's just the first game. Mom is lucky. It's nothing."
Li's mother actually thought that she was lucky with this card, otherwise how could she have such good cards
Li Guangxin smiled and continued playing cards.
Mother Li looked at the cards in her hand and smiled brightly again. She thought to herself that she was so lucky today. She should go to the village to play cards. Playing cards with her family, it would be meaningless to win money. She thought about it and reached out to touch a card. She couldn't help laughing: "Self-drawn with hidden gang. Come on, give me money. If I win 300 yuan today, I will kill the big rooster at home."
Li Manmei ignored her mother and looked at Li Guangxin.
Li Guangxin crossed his arms and said with a half-smile, "It's already two rounds. Do we need to continue this bet?"
Mother Li stopped smiling and frowned at her son. "No, I won these two games because of your special ability." She looked her son up and down, unable to believe it. "When did you have this ability?"
Li Guangxin glanced at her and said, "I just said you were going to win two games, but you're not going to win?"
Li's mother opened her eyes wide and jumped up and down in disbelief: "That's just my good luck. It has nothing to do with you."
Li Guangxin glanced at her and said, "Since you said you have good luck, I say you will lose the next two games, and it will be Dad's turn to win."
Li's mother still didn't believe it. After the two rounds of mahjong were over, she looked at the money she had lost and stared at her son in a daze.
Li Manmei pursed her lips tightly, feeling panicked: "Brother, what's going on?"
Although she has little education, it doesn't mean she is stupid. As for the special abilities that her elder brother mentioned, she didn't take it seriously at all, so the problem can only be with the mahjong machine.
Li Guangxin took out a remote control like a magician and said, "With this remote control, whoever you want to control will win."
Li Manmei had already believed what her eldest brother said in her heart, but she still didn't give up. Finally, she said, "You control me to win."
Li Guangxin readily accepted the advice and said with a smile: "You win three games."
The family of four continued to play cards. After three rounds, all the cards in Li Manmei's hand looked very good. It was obvious that she had won all the games. But she still did not give up: "Control yourself to win."
In order to completely help his sister get rid of her gambling addiction, Li Guangxin was very patient: "Okay, let me win three games by remote control."
After Li Guangxin won three games, he threw the remote control onto the mahjong machine, looked at his sister and asked, "Do you want to play more?"
Li Manmei's face turned pale, and she was completely confused. Why did her brother bring back a mahjong machine for no reason? He must know something. Thinking of this, she grabbed her brother's arm in panic and asked anxiously, "Brother, tell me this is not true?"
Li Guangxin looked at his sister with pity and said, "Don't you already know it in your heart?"
Li Manmei held her head and screamed. Suddenly she stood up with a fierce light in her eyes. She murmured, "I'm going to settle accounts with them. I'm going to settle accounts with them..."
Mother Li suddenly looked at her son and asked, "What's going on?"
Li Guangxin spread his hands and said, "It's very simple. The reason why Manmei lost so much money was because of this mahjong machine. She was deliberately tricked by someone."
Mother Li said angrily: "These bastards...harmful dogs..."
“Wuwuwu…”
Li Guangxin and Li's mother turned around and saw Li Manmei sitting on the ground, crying loudly without any image.
Father Li stood up silently and pointed at the mahjong machine: "This is a harmful thing. Throw it into the pond at the door. If I see you gambling again, I will break your legs."
...
Luo Xinting was very upset. She couldn't believe that Han Ze's lovers didn't make any moves when they knew Han Ze was divorced. Didn't they want to take advantage of Han Ze's divorce to become his regular wife? Han Ze's wealth was indeed not worth hundreds of millions, but he was handsome. He was handsome and rich, which made women flock to him. When Han Ze had a wife, they used all means to pester him. It didn't make sense that Han Ze was single, and those women's enthusiasm for him was gone. Is it possible
How could she fish in troubled waters when they stopped bothering Han Ze? Her original intention was to let those lovers bother Han Ze every day, so that Han Ze would feel that being single was a hassle, and then he would want to get married. Once Han Ze wanted to get married, he would definitely choose her. Her goal would be achieved. Who knew that they would stop making any moves!
She thought hard for a long time and thought that Han Ze must have done something behind this. Thinking of this, she called Yan Feifei.
Yan Feifei was very disdainful when she received Luo Xinting's call, but she still answered the phone: "Luo Xinting, you don't have to tell me about Mr. Han's affairs. Mr. Han and I have parted ways amicably. I will not compete with you for him anymore. You can rest assured. You don't have to be on guard against me anymore, and there is no need to say specious words in front of me."
Although she is a mistress, she also has professional ethics. President Han has made it clear that he doesn't want to see her, so she can only walk away tactfully. It's hard to find a three-legged frog, but there are many two-legged men. There's no need to hang yourself on President Han's tree.
Luo Xinting narrowed her eyes and said, "You and Mr. Han want to part ways amicably? Why? He's divorced?"
Yan Feifei said lazily: "Boss Han is divorced, but his first love popped out. The ex-wife is mosquito blood, we can defeat her, and even make Boss Han divorce her. But the first love is the white moonlight, the cinnabar mole, I know myself, I don't have the ability, nor the patience to defeat a woman who a man has treasured in his heart for more than ten years."
Luo Xinting held the phone tightly, took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know that Han Ze has a first love?"
Yan Feifei gloated, "Not only do I know, but all of Mr. Han's former lovers also know. When they knew that Mr. Han had a first love, they all wisely stopped pestering him. Mistresses also have their own professional ethics. We don't look for men who have a white moonlight in their hearts."
Luo Xinting: "... "
If you really have morals, you wouldn't be a mistress. If you are a mistress, what kind of professional ethics do you have
Luo Xinting hung up the phone angrily, and Luo Yuquan came over and asked, "Little sister, Mr. Han has been back for a while. Has he mentioned marrying you? I have no job, and my family has no income. Your sister-in-law is making trouble with me every day. Can you think of a solution for me?"
Luo Xinting sighed heavily and said impatiently: "Get married, get married, don't I want to get married? The key is that Han Ze doesn't want to get married, what can I do?"
Luo Yuquan stood up, stared and asked loudly: "What's going on?"
Luo Xinting threw her phone on the sofa in anger, sat on the sofa with her arms folded across her chest, and said angrily: "You know Han Ze is a passionate and promiscuous person. What's more, he has a first love, and that person is the white moonlight in his heart that he can't forget. He doesn't want to get married for the sake of that white moonlight."
Luo Yuquan looked at her in a daze: "He's going to marry Bai Yueguang?"
Luo Xinting shook her head, looking annoyed: "I'd feel better if he wanted to marry Bai Yueguang."
Luo Yuquan asked anxiously, "What's going on? He has to marry you. You've been with him for so many years, and he won't marry you if he says so. How could you be at a loss?" At this point, his eyes lit up with ruthlessness, "Who is Bai Yueguang? I'll find someone to deal with her and make sure she doesn't dare to pester Han Ze again."
Luo Xinting's eyes were red, and she said anxiously: "Don't be impulsive. Han Ze's first love has a distinguished family background. We can't afford to offend her. It would be as easy for her to crush us as it is to crush an ant. Besides, Han Ze is just thinking about her and won't marry her."
Luo Yuquan asked: "What should we do then?"
Luo Xinting waved her hand: "I'll figure it out myself, don't worry about it."
Luo Yuquan opened his mouth, frowned, and said flatteringly: "Okay, okay, I don't care about you. Little sister, give me some money to spend, there is no money at home."
Luo Xinting looked at him impatiently: "Didn't I just give you 5,000 yuan last week? Why do you want it again? If Han Ze doesn't marry me, where will I get so much money to spend on you?"
Despite this, she still counted out five thousand yuan for him.
Luo Yuquan looked at her counting the money one by one, and impatiently snatched the stack of money from her hand, saying: "Why are you counting? Just give it all to me." After that, he stuffed the money into his bag, opened the door and left.
Luo Xinting pointed at his back with a trembling finger: "..."
I can't believe it, this is her brother
…
The class reunion in mid-August was held at a resort hotel in the provincial capital. Han Ze had been quite busy recently, having just invested in a gaming project and preparing to enter the fitness industry. By the time he had finished his work, it was almost half past ten. He glanced at his watch, picked up the car keys, quickly went downstairs, and drove to the resort hotel.
Many classmates have already arrived at the resort hotel. Everyone is chatting happily. Some are reminiscing about the embarrassing things that happened when they were in school, some are talking about their current situations, and some are showing off their careers.
"In our class, only the class monitor and Zheng Youran made it, the others didn't."
"Han Ze and Liu Chengcheng had such a good relationship, but they broke up."
"Liu Chengcheng is the daughter of a high-ranking official, and Han Ze is a farm boy. It's uncertain whether he can give her a wealthy life in the future. Do you think she and Han Ze can be together?"
"When love's shelf life is over, bread will be the only thing people pursue throughout their lives. There is a reason why people should marry someone of equal status."
"Liu Chengcheng is coming over today. Will Han Ze come? What do you think will happen when they meet?"
"Han Ze was the most handsome boy in our class. I wonder what he has become? Will he have a beer belly like Dong Sheng? Will he still look good?"
"Isn't it good to have a beer belly like mine?" Although Dong Sheng envied others' good figures, it didn't mean that he despised his beer belly. This belly was developed after drinking for so many years. How could he despise it
"Han Ze used to be so handsome, it's hard to imagine him with a beer belly." Zheng Youran said.
Dong Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Zheng Youran. He pointed at the squad leader and said with a smile, "You are so blatantly praising Han Zeshuai. Aren't you afraid that the squad leader will get jealous?"
The monitor adjusted her glasses and said slowly, "She's used to it. Every time she sees a handsome guy, she'll compliment him. She's become immune to it."
The classmates were still very curious about Han Ze's current situation. Wang Yingmeng said generously: "It's just like men like to look at beautiful women. We women also like to look at handsome men. I had a crush on Han Ze in the past. If the object of my crush became like Dong Sheng, I would feel that I was at a disadvantage. I would definitely settle the score with Han Ze. Hey, Dong Sheng, what do you think Han Ze has become?"
Then she burst into laughter.
Dong Sheng: I'm just a little fat, right? What's wrong with that? Is that wrong
"So you had a crush on Han Ze?" Dong Sheng asked ambiguously after feeling aggrieved, as if he had discovered a new continent.
Wang Yingmeng lifted her hair and said with a smile: "Han Ze was really handsome at that time. Isn't it normal for girls to have a crush on him? Many girls in our class have a crush on him, not just me."
As time passed, she had nothing to be embarrassed about admitting her secret crush, and she didn't even blush.
Zheng Youran raised her hand: "Let me make it clear first, those girls don't include me. I don't have a crush on him, even though he's handsome. I only like our class monitor."
Monitor: “…”
"Hello, classmates!"
When the classmates were talking happily, Han Ze walked in. He was wearing a silver-black stand-up collar shirt on the upper body, black trousers on the lower body, and the black shirt was tucked into his trousers. His figure was comparable to that of the male models in magazines, and he was full of hormones.
Wang Yingmeng covered her mouth and screamed, "This is Han Ze, damn, so handsome."
The classmates were very surprised. They didn't expect that after not seeing Han Ze for so many years, he was more handsome than before. Of course, Han Ze was handsome before, but his handsomeness before was a bit rustic and immature. Now he is noble and elegant, with an indescribable temptation all over his body.
Dong Sheng stood up and said with a smile: "You are finally here."
Wang Yingmeng pointed to the seat next to her and said hurriedly, "Han Ze, sit here, sit here."
Han Ze paused and was about to speak when an elegant and beautiful woman walked in from behind and the room fell silent in an instant.
Han Ze subconsciously turned his head and saw who was coming. His eyes flashed and he said calmly, "Liu Chengcheng?"
Liu Chengcheng had a gentle smile on her face as always, with two dimples on her face. She looked at Han Ze with a natural and calm look and said, "Han Ze, long time no see."
Han Ze smiled and said, "Long time no see."
