Shameless

Chapter 23: Bad and good are relative

Views:

If a selfish person does not hinder others, he can actually be regarded as a good person. If he is occasionally willing to make self-sacrifice for the sake of his feelings, he should be regarded as a good person. If this person happens to be a young and beautiful woman, no matter how unhappy she has been, Li Muye has to admit that she can actually be considered a lovely woman.

Meng Fanbing ended all his business in Coal City and decided to go to Shanghai for development. Before leaving, I called and asked to meet.

Li Muye knew that she was here for Chen Binghui, but he didn't know how to tell her the whereabouts and identity of Brother A Hui. But I still decided to meet her. There were some things that I couldn't say over the phone even if I couldn't explain them clearly.

The first snowfall in winter made the air in Coal City much fresher. Li Muye walked through the revolving door of the China World Hotel, covered in wind and snow. The cafe was still the same as before. Meng Fanbing wore a light purple camel hair coat and picked up a bag that Li Muye couldn't name, but it looked very valuable at first glance. He sat there and looked around from time to time, with a hint of impatience in his expression. Look, it looks like I've been waiting for a while.

Beautiful women have always been waited for. In Li Muye's impression, he had never waited for her once.

"Sorry to keep you waiting again." Li Muye walked over and sat across from her. Wave to the waiter for a cup of coffee.

Meng Fanbing tilted his head and looked at Li Muye and said, "We haven't seen each other for only a few months, but your clothing taste has improved a lot."

Li Muye smiled and said: "Buying blindly and wearing random clothes, you know I don't pay attention to clothes."

Meng Fanbing hummed and suddenly said: "I'm leaving."

"I heard." Li Muye said, "Aren't you going to Shanghai to develop?"

Meng Fanbing lowered his head and pursed his lips, took a sip of coffee, put down the cup, and said: "Li Muye, I know that ever since I ran away home alone that night, I have become a selfish and vicious woman in your heart, don't you? Have you ever truly liked me?"

Li Muye thought for a moment and said half-truthfully, "But I never thought you were annoying. In fact, there was a moment when I thought you were quite cute."

"When?" Meng Fanbing asked seriously.

Li Muye said: "That's when you risk everything to get Chen Binghui."

"Hey." She smiled softly and said, "Cen Kailun wrote a book. There is a very vain and selfish second female lead in it who I particularly like. Through her words, Cen Kailun said, a woman's life You must cherish yourself very much, but you cannot love nothing but yourself. I was possessed at that time and I was not afraid of hurting your self-esteem. Compared to you, I really wanted to marry Chen Binghui at that time."

"He left and went to a place where I don't know if I can come back." Li Muye gave a vague answer without waiting for her to ask.

Meng Fanbing was actually very calm. He nodded slightly and said, "I know he doesn't really love me. How could a man who can become a life-and-death friend like you really like me? I don't blame him, after all, he doesn't either. He owes me nothing, he paid me interest on the money he spent. As for the emotional investment, it was my own fault. When I saw those scars on his body, I should have known that he does not belong to my world."

Li Muye said: "Shanghai is a big city with many people and opportunities, which is not comparable to our coal-dust-filled city. And you are the kind of woman who will shine wherever you go. I believe you will definitely do it." of more success.”

Meng Fanbing nodded and said thank you. After being silent for a while, he suddenly said: "Li Muye, whether you believe it or not, there is something I want to explain to you."

"You tell me, I'm listening." Li Muye said.

Meng Fanbing said: "I actually went back that night when we watched the movie. At that time, I was worried that you would be beaten up by those people and left there without anyone caring about you. Then I asked my brother to go with me. I only saw a little blood. , and finally went home.”

Li Muye nodded and said calmly: "I believe it."

Meng Fanbing sighed and said: "I have never dared to face my choices that night and later. At that time, in addition to being entangled by Wang Hongjun and the others, I had no choice but to make up for you. .”

Li Muye smiled and said, "I also have many things I didn't do well. I never treated you well from the beginning to the end."

"You were quite a bastard back then." Meng Fanbing said: "I will probably never coax a man like that back then in my life."

Li Muye said: "It was a lot of fun at the time, but it's a pity that we can't turn back time, and I don't have much chance to make up for it."

Meng Fanbing's eyes were as bright as water, staring at Li Muye, and said: "Don't talk to me with such ambiguous words. I know who the person you can't forget is in your heart. Zhang Na called me in the United States and talked about it a lot when we were in school. In the end, she asked me to contact you when I have time. I think she was afraid that you would be too lonely."

"She called you?" Li Muye was a little surprised, and then realized that Zhang Na must be in a very lonely situation. This girl is worried that Brother Xiao Ye is too lonely, and she is in a foreign land without any memories, so why not be even more lonely

Meng Fanbing nodded and said: "Yes, I was surprised when she suddenly called me. She said that life there was very good, but there was no one she could talk to, so she thought of me, and then we chatted After a long time, she actually still misses you, but she just doesn’t know why it’s not convenient for her to call you in person.”

Li Muye said: "Thank you for telling me so much. If I didn't have a reason to stay in Coal City, I really wanted to fly over to find her right now." He paused and smiled: "I haven't been on a plane yet. "

Meng Fanbing said: "I haven't sat on it either, but I can finally do it when I go back to Shanghai."

"Flying in the sky, I always feel a little unsafe." Li Muye stood up and stretched out his hand sincerely: "Take care, and wish you a safe journey."

The snow in the yard was cleared very cleanly. Wang Hongjun brought two people, who were smoking under the eaves, hissing and stamping their feet from the cold. Wulanzhu hugged Ziesao and looked at them coldly.

Li Muye walked in from the outside and asked in surprise: "Don't you know your brother Wang? Why don't you invite the guests to sit in the house?"

Wu Lanzhu said angrily: "What kind of guest? He is here to cause trouble."

Wang Hongjun was walking quickly, with a fierce look in his eyes, as if he had bad intentions. Li Muye pushed Wu Lanzhu behind him, went up to him and asked, "What's going on with you?"

"You have the nerve to ask me what's going on?" Wang Hongjun rushed over angrily, waved his hand and punched Li Muye directly in the eye. As he punched him, he shouted: "Li Muye, I regard you as my brother, how dare you bully me?" My sister!"

As expected, I came here for Wang Hongye. Li Muye reacted instinctively, stepped back, raised his hand and grabbed Wang Hongjun's fist, pulled it into his arms according to Chen Binghui's instructions, turned his hand and twisted it, and indeed pushed Wang Hongjun to the ground. I was in a good mood after succeeding in one move. It seemed that the techniques of catching the enemy and fighting that Brother Ah Hui taught me were still effective. He shouted majestically: "You idiot, do you want to know what's going on and come over and take action?"

"My sister came home yesterday morning and burst into tears. She didn't ask any questions and asked me to break off our relationship with you. Who do you think I'm looking for if I don't look for you?" Wang Hongjun's arm was squeezed so hard that it hurt. Cold sweat dripped, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to accept it.

Li Muye let go of him and cursed: "You idiot, you have a brain that can't spin around, and you don't think about it. I know the situation of your sister's family and our relationship. How can I bully her?"

"Then why is she crying?" Wang Hongjun said unwillingly: "And my little aunt also said that you are not a thing."

Li Muye said: "Let me ask you something, do you think your cousin and I are a good match?"

Wang Hongjun sat on the ground and looked at Li Muye blankly. After a long time, he patted his head and said, "I understand. My sister confessed to you that morning."

Li Muye nodded and said: "At last you are not stupid enough. Your cousin has little experience and does not know what is going on here. You are an old man in the world. You can tell your conscience that just based on our friendship as buddies, even if This thing is as beautiful as pie-in-the-sky, but I have only a certain sense of loyalty, can I agree?"

"No!" Wang Hongjun was actually not very sure, but he was a little dizzy after being praised by the old Jianghu. Subconsciously, he followed Li Muye's train of thought and answered.

Li Muye said: "Yes, we are such good buddies, and you know me very well. I have a history of mental illness, and I have offended so many people with my messy behavior over the years. People like us may one day... You've put yourself into it, and who is your cousin? She is a sports school teacher who graduated from a serious sports university, and her family background is not to mention. She looks good at me now, but she is impulsive and has no experience. You are confused. Can you Are you familiar with her?"

"No!" Wang Hongjun shook his head firmly, with a look of shame on his face, and said: "So this is the situation, Brother Xiaoye, I am wrong. When I hear this, you are really giving me face. If it were anyone else, , If you have such a good thing, you have to sharpen your head and rush forward."

Li Muye looked regretful as he nodded and said, "Actually, your sister is quite an attractive person. It's a pity that I am not so lucky."

Wang Hongjun stood up from the ground and said: "Brother, I understand, this matter is really not your fault. I will go back and tell my uncle and aunt clearly."

Li Muye hurriedly warned: "Little girls are reserved and save face. You should be more careful when speaking. It can be said that I misunderstood your cousin's meaning and said some things that I shouldn't have said, which made her anxious. I'm deeply sorry for that."

Wang Hongjun blinked his eyes, nodded repeatedly, and said: "Sure, I understand. You are really giving me face in this matter. You said that if you had a little less loyalty, you would mess around with my sister for a while, and finally cheat her." , then can I still stay at home?”

Li Muye said: "Okay, the misunderstanding has been explained clearly. I think you are quite busy, so I won't let you eat."

Wang Hongjun begged for a beating and didn't even get a drink of water. He felt that Li Muye had done this very righteously. Even though he was beaten, he still owed a debt of gratitude. When he called his two younger brothers to go out, he suddenly remembered something and thought it might be an opportunity to make amends. He turned around and said, "Xiao Ye, I heard from my aunt that you are in the imported car business. My dad has a friend. I plan to build an auto parts city in the provincial capital. It seems to be a good project. I’m looking for my dad to participate in it.”

"Since it's a good project, why do you want your dad to participate in it?"

Wang Hongjun said: "Actually, they are not going for my dad, but for my brother-in-law and his wife. I don't understand what's going on here, but anyway, this is a very good project, and the location is special." Well, I heard that once the auto parts city is built, even if it doesn’t make any money, the land alone will be worth the cost.”

"What do you think this has to do with me?"

"After they got the project, they started construction. It took more than half a year. Then there was a problem with the bank loan. The project was almost finished. There seemed to be a problem with the capital chain. They were very short of money. They relied on my brother-in-law and his wife to invest. My dad’s.”

"I understand. I thank you for your kindness. This project sounds good, but it is not suitable for many people to work together unless they plan to sell the project." (End of Chapter)
