Chapter 117
Bai Yan was trembling with anger.
He came back for a while, called twice and found that no one was there, but the delicious sea fish was indeed ready and put in the warmer.So he climbed the stairs to the flower garden upstairs - Lu Zhihui liked to read in the small pavilion in the flower garden.
He was still very moved when he heard Bai Menghua say that he knocked on the door, and still felt guilty that he didn't give him a cent that day, but when he heard him say "[-] million" which was higher than that day, his whole heart was shocked. It sank to the bottom.
When I was young, my teacher always said that money cannot measure a person's feelings.
But it can.At least, he can know whether this person regards him as a relative, or simply treats him as a cash machine.
In comparison, Lu Zhihui was much calmer.He pulled Bai Yan aside and coaxed him carefully. After talking for a long time, Bai Yan reluctantly agreed to leave the matter to him. He didn't stop or interfere, but just listened.
"Yanyan, trust me." Lu Zhihui said while rubbing his hair.
On both sides of the three people's table, Bai Yan's hand was held in Lu Zhihui's palm. Although he didn't move his mouth, his eyes were fixed on the person opposite him like a knife.Seeing Bai Menghua like this, the anger in his heart also rose.It's just that he was short-handed, and he was still waiting for Lu Zhihui to write a check, so he didn't have an attack for the time being.
"Money, I can give it to uncle."
After a while, Lu Zhihui broke the silence.
He has no shortage of money, but what to use for it needs to be discussed.
Bai Menghua patted the table excitedly, "Son-in-law Lu is just refreshing!"
"However, I have a question that I would like to ask my uncle to answer."
"It's easy to say, what do you want to ask?"
"Who is the person who asked my uncle to come to me directly?"
He asked decisively, not "did someone tell you to come to me", but "who asked you to come to me".This really stunned Bai Menghua for a moment.
"this"
Lu Zhihui explained his reasons: "The security of the community is very strict. Without the owner's household card, you can't get in. Even if you ask the housekeeper to clean it, the owner needs to report to the guard in advance. Therefore, uncle can come in quietly. , someone should be helping secretly."
declarative sentence.
With a big wave of his hand, Bai Menghua denied, "It's nothing! I'm acquainted with the guard, and I slipped in while he wasn't looking. How can anyone help me, a bum like me?"
Seeing that he was hiding something, Lu Zhihui was not in a hurry to threaten him with money, but took a sip of tea slowly:
"Uncle may seldom watch the news and don't understand. Recently, a group of fraudsters committed serial crimes, specifically encouraging the elderly to ask their children for money. They taught the elderly how to ask for money, such as fake hanging, and tricked the elderly into saying that they would get Thirty-seven cents after the money."
He stared at Bai Menghua's expression on being poked at the center, and deepened his tone:
"However, when the money is distributed, they will team up with some hooligans to steal all the old man's money. In the end, the old man and his children turned against each other, and they can't get any money back. They are helpless. Uncle, what do you say , aren’t those people too bad?”
Bai Menghua's face turned pale one after another, his heart trembled, and he panicked.The eyeballs rolled in their sockets.
"Oh, good son-in-law, I, I must be targeted by them, what should I do!"
As soon as these words fell to the ground, Bai Yan was also stunned - dare someone really instigate him behind his back?
"Two days ago, I finished looking for Junjun. A man told me that if I want money, I can't ask Junjun, but I have to ask you. You run a big company, and you are very rich! I, I still want money." I promise to give him 5000 million when things are done. Tell me, are they eyeing me now?"
Lu Zhihui helped him refill the tea for the second time, "Don't worry, speak slowly. You describe the person's appearance first, and if the features are obvious, we can call the police directly."
Ever since, Bai Menghua didn't hide any more, and made every move.
It's not hard to tell that Wei Jiachen has the ability to let Bai Menghua enter the community, and is a "slim, small and good-looking young man" in his mouth.
"I heard that the Wei family is in a hurry to ask for money to make up the gap. It seems to be true." Lu Zhihui pondered in a low voice, and then came up with a countermeasure——
"It's very simple. Uncle just needs to avoid them and leave City A before they find you. But I can't give him the money, so the money I can give uncle will be greatly reduced in the end. I hope you can understand."
Bai Menghua breathed a sigh of relief, drank all the tea, and completely skipped the tea-tasting session.
"Okay! This is easy to say!"
"So, we need to determine the amount of alimony. Uncle talked to my husband before, and he should have discussed alimony. You can tell me the amount you want, and I will satisfy it depending on the situation."
Bai Menghua muttered, "Three, 3000 million."
Lu Zhihui nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Does Uncle think the price is reasonable?"
"What's unreasonable about this? Son-in-law Lu, you can be with Junjun, isn't that thanks to me? Where would he be without me?"
"But the bullying and psychological shadow that Yanyan suffered when he was a child seems to be caused by his uncle."
Bai Menghua was discouraged, "Then, why not 2000 million, son-in-law Lu, I only lowered the price for your sake, you can't change it to someone else!"
Lu Zhihui's eyes were fixed like a rock, and he said three words lightly: "500 million."
When Bai Menghua heard that he had surrendered so much, he was of course very unhappy.But Lu Zhihui is an expert in negotiation, and he has said it many times, but he can't get any sweets at all, so he can only give up in resentment.
"500 million is 500 million, it's better than nothing!" Thinking this way, he felt that this trip was worthwhile.
Under the table, Lu Zhihui held Bai Yan's hand for a moment.
"However, there is still one thing I want to ask my uncle for advice."
"Also, what else do you want to ask?"
Bai Menghua was apprehensive. Although Lu Zhihui thought everything he said and didn't mean to force him at all, he still felt that this person had a lot of aura, which was more than the warning he had given in previous lectures.
Lu Zhihui clenched his lips and signaled him to relax, "That's right. Uncle is also getting old, so living alone will inevitably be inconvenient. In fact, you don't need to have too much burden in your heart. If you want to stay and take care of each other, I and I You won't mind, sir. Of course, it all depends on your own wishes, Uncle, whether you stay and let us take care of you, or take the 500 million away and live alone."
If Bai Menghua wanted to stay, he could give him a place to live. Although the conditions were not rich, it was far better than what he has now.Lu Zhihui put all the opportunities to start a new life in front of him, the premise is that he really wants to start over, to make up for Bai Yan's lack of fatherly love these years.
Bai Menghua didn't hesitate at all, "I want money."
Those three light words wiped away the last bit of heat in Bai Yan's heart.
"Don't think about it anymore?" Even though Lu Zhihui expected the answer, he still asked it again.
"No, I think clearly."
So, Lu Zhihui didn't stop him.Bai Menghua is also classified into this category just like those cold documents in official business.He immediately went to the study to write a check for 400 million, and at the same time sent people to the bank to withdraw 100 million in cash.
"Uncle, since you have made your choice, I will give you this check. We have to make an agreement." At that time, there were only two of them left on the top floor.
"You said."
"One, this 500 million is for all your alimony. It's the first and last time. Please plan to spend it. If you spend it all because of gambling or other reasons, I won't nod again."
"Good talk!"
"Second, after today, Yanyan has nothing to do with you. Please understand that he is a public figure, so no matter who asks, don't say anything that makes him difficult."
"That's for sure. If you have money, you can say anything. If I see that person that day, I will run immediately, and if he catches up, I will call the police!"
"Three, this check is not given to you because you have a relationship with my husband that is thicker than water, but to remind you that what you have done has completely lost this relative, do you understand?"
These words were like a heavy hammer, almost knocking Bai Menghua apart.Yes, money is something outside of the body. How many people have been dealing with money all their lives, but they come and go all the time without a fixed place.The 500 million is not a reward, not a reward, but a curse from the devil - if he takes the money, he will lose Bai Yan forever.
Bai Menghua's hands subconsciously grasped his trouser legs, took a deep breath, "Okay, I know"
Lu Zhihui saw that he was wavering, but the damage had already been done, so he couldn't afford to go back on his word, so he took out a card from his business card holder.
"This is my business card. There is a phone number and company address on it. Although the best result in the future is that everyone has nothing to do with each other, but if you really need to find someone for something, please don't go to Yanyan, come to me directly."
Things that can be solved with money are small things. 500 million is indeed not a small amount of money, but it is worth buying off their father-son relationship, including making this person never appear in front of Bai Yan.
After all, every time he appeared, Bai Yan would be sad.The reason why Bai Yan was sad was not because of disappointment, but because his nominal father never gave him hope.
When Lu Zhihui was picking up the check, Bai Yan went back to the living room downstairs, curled up on the sofa alone, a small ball, like a cat that had been splashed with dirty water.
When Lu Zhihui sent Bai Menghua downstairs, he asked why Bai Menghua chose to ask for money because he would live in a separate residence and get no less than 500 million if he stayed with them.
Bai Menghua said: "No one in the world can be relied on, I can only rely on myself. As long as I have money, I don't have to have a wife and children."
"Haven't you ever thought that they need you very much?"
"It's a lie to say what is needed or not. Their mother and son must wish for my death."
"The world is so big, is there no one you care about?" Lu Zhihui asked.
Bai Menghua laughed at himself: "People, feelings, I don't believe it long ago."
He held the heavy backpack containing money, as if he had lived his whole life just for this bag.
"Anyway, I've been saying these things for 20 years, and no one believes that I just didn't rape her. She wanted my research results, but I refused to give them to her. I thought it was okay. Who would have thought that she had already set the trap? It’s all over, and she asked her ignorant younger sister to give false testimony, causing me to squat for 20 years.”
The elevator went all the way down, and even my mood plummeted.
"Uncle never thought about it, did Yanyan have a hard time in the past 20 years?" Lu Zhihui said very little, but he often hit the nail on the head. When he said a word lightly, he could always pierce the deepest sins of people's hearts.
Bai Menghua choked, his eyes drooped, staring at a scratch on the floor in a daze.
"Yes, I cheated on my wife and children. It was planned by someone. I deserve it." He admitted that he was wrong. Damn the child, make a good atonement, but now there is no one left. Junjun, he is young, and there are many things that he can’t think about. In fact, I am the garbage in the garbage dump. If I live with him, if someone recognizes me someday , His life is over. Son-in-law, you need to be more careful, I will leave earlier, and he will also come out earlier. "
His attitude was very casual. Whether Lu Zhihui believed the truth of the year or not, it didn't seem to matter to him.But Lu Zhihui paid attention to him, so he immediately dialed a phone number, calling Chang Wanzong, an old acquaintance of Guan Zhi's first-level police supervisor.Ask about Bai Menghua's case back then.Chang Wanzong had always been on good terms with the Lu family, and soon asked his subordinates to check the file, and promised to give him an answer within two hours.
Lu Zhihui went upstairs, intending to bring out the cooked fish from the warming cabinet. Considering that Bai Yan was in a low mood today, he planned to open another bottle of red wine.
However, he seemed to have underestimated how sad Bai Yan was.
When Lu Zhihui opened the door, Bai Yan was holding the fruit plate and frantically stuffing bananas into his mouth.He stuffed three or four palm-length bananas in at once, chewing desperately and mechanically with his mouth swollen.But he swallowed it without chewing it completely, swallowed it several times without swallowing it, didn't spit it out, and didn't continue chewing, as if he had completed a cycle, and stuffed the next one into his mouth.
"Hiko!"
Lu Zhihui was in a hurry, and quickly pulled the fruit plate out of his arms, only to find that he had tears streaming down his face, crying silently.
Bai Yan didn't seem to be able to hear him, tears poured down like pearls, and while sobbing, he reached for the scattered bananas on the table, picked them up and stuffed them into his mouth, his mouth couldn't close anymore , but still chewing, chewing desperately.
Lu Zhihui was afraid that he would suck the banana into the trachea when he inhaled, so he didn't open his mouth forcibly, because that would make Bai Yan subconsciously use force, and at the same time take a deep breath, it would be easy to suck things in.So, he only gently held his restless hand and patted him on the back.
"Yanyan, good boy, spit it out first. It won't hurt if you spit it out."
Bai Yan didn't listen to his words, grabbed the banana twice in the air, and then stretched out towards the banana.But this time Lu Zhihui went to stop it, and quickly stuffed the last one into his mouth first.
"Yanyan, be good."
Lu Zhihui didn't seldom say such intimate nicknames. He tried to keep his tone calm, "What else do you want to eat? Sir is here, and sir will eat with you. But you have to spit out the banana in your mouth first, it's too big, you I can't swallow it."
Bai Yan, who didn't pay attention to his words, finally reacted, as if breaking down, a cat-like whimpering sound came out of his throat:
"Ugh-"
