South China Sea Myth

I wanted to mend the rift in my relationship with her, so I accepted her request. On a moonlit night, Hong Lin and I boarded a bus to Yichang. We stayed in a 4 star hotel, and my friend the general manager of the guesthouse received us, just like he did with Hong Lan back then. I called a few business CEOs to meet at the hotel and introduced them to Hong Lin. They looked at the shrewd Hong Lin and agreed to introduce him to the renovation project business. A few days after returning to Wuhan, Hong Lan called me: Xiaolin, go to my mother's place for dinner, my father wants you to do me a favor. I climbed the stairs to her mother's house. This is a two-bedroom apartment with simple furnishings but clean housing. Hong Lan's parents set the dishes on the table. Her father said, "Come, come, drink some wine first." After eating, Hong Lan poured me tea. Her father and mother said to me, "Xiaolin, I want you to do me a favor with something, okay?" I said, "You two old men are welcome, what do you need me to do?"

Her father said: Xiaolin, your younger brother Honglin lost money on decoration, and the creditor came to make trouble, and he wanted to do a decoration project to catch up with the cost, so he needed to borrow 300,000 yuan to transfer.

I see, I didn't say anything. Hong Lan's mother said: Hong Lan said that you have a friend who is the president of the bank. Hong Lan's father was an old cadre, and her mother was an old worker, and when they saw that I didn't speak, they continued to beg me: Xiaolin, you are us

The future son-in-law of the family, you can do something good and help your brother. I think Hong Lan's favorite is her younger brother, and besides, her brother borrowed a house for me to live with his sister, and borrowed a car for us to run a divorce, and I should also do him a favor. Also, the future mother-in-law and father-in-law spoke, and the two old men began to look at me, the future son-in-law, in the eye, and I couldn't let them underestimate it. Didn't Hong Lan have a conflict with me, I'm going to show her my hand today.

Thinking of this, I agreed: tomorrow morning, I will go to the bank's president Zhao. I took Hong Lan to the president's office on the 18th floor of the bank building and saw Governor Zhao on the phone. He's been an old friend of mine for many years. After he finished the call, he enthusiastically poured us tea and asked, "Xiaolin, is there anything wrong?" When President Zhao heard that it was my future wife's family who wanted a loan, he didn't say a word, and dialed the phone of a branch president: President Huang Xiaohua, my friend wants to take out a loan, you see how to go through the procedures. Yes, I'll let them come to you directly.

It seems that the president of the branch respects the old president very much, and he did not ask for a mortgage, so he asked Hong Lan's younger brother to go to the bank to go through the loan procedures as soon as possible. Hong Lan accompanied her brother to apply for a loan, but I didn't care. A few days later, Hong Lan said to me: The money has arrived. A month later, a friend of mine in the business community called and said that there was a project to be renovated, and I told Hong Lan this information and asked her to relay it to Hong Lin. Hong Lan's words surprised me, she said: Hong Lin has gone abroad, I don't know where it is.

A sense of urgency came to my heart, and I asked Hong Lan: When will the bank's 300,000 yuan be repaid. She pulled the bitter gourd face and said: You ask me, who will I ask. One afternoon, I got off work and came back to where we lived together. When I entered the door, I found that Hong Lan was not at home, and there was a note on the table: Shi Xiaolin, I have encountered trouble, I have to leave for a few days, you don't have to look for me.

What trouble did she have? What did she do? How to repay the 300,000 yuan loan? I thought about it all night. The next day, I went to Hong Lin's parents' house, but I didn't see her, and I went to her sister's house again. Her sister is a middle school teacher, and she knew that I had a conflict with Hong Lan, so she said: Hong Lan came here yesterday, and her younger brother is not in a good situation now, and she is very anxious. Now, she may have gone to her aunt in Shiyan.

I know Hong Lan's aunt and once went to see her with Hong Lan. I am a seed of infatuation, I haven't seen Hong Lan's shadow for a few days, I am worried that she is in trouble, I want to share my worries with her, I came to Hankou Railway Station like a wind and got on the train. It was a slow train, it stopped at every stop, it was crowded, and I was really worried that the carriage would burst. I didn't have a place to sit, I stood at the junction of the two carriages. My feet were numb, and I was tired of standing in a different position, so I got into the crack, took out a newspaper from my bag, put it on the iron plate, and sat on it. For more than ten hours, I was uncomfortable, I looked at the Citizen watch in my hand, felt that time was like a snail, and I wanted to turn the hands faster.

I left early in the morning and arrived at night, when the monkey knocked on the door of Hong Lan's aunt's house. Her aunt was unusual, stopped me at the door, was not as polite to me as before, neither poured me tea, nor asked me if I had eaten, obviously giving an eviction order: You hurry back to Wuhan, Hong Lan left yesterday, I don't know anything else about you, don't ask me.

I returned to Wuhan in despair, and then went to Hong Lan's sister's house. Overjoyed, Hong Lan was in front of me, and I seemed to have found the baby who had been missing for many days: Where have you gone, let me look for you everywhere.

She was cold: I know you're looking for me everywhere, but there's no need. I said, "Let's go outside and talk." We came to the mouth of an alley, and she stopped: something, tell me quickly. I said, "Let's go home together now, and we will discuss marriage." She said, "No, I'm going to my parents right away."

I asked: The loan date has passed early, and the bank calls to urge when the 300,000 yuan will be repaid. She said, "You see me just to collect money, right?" I'll tell you the truth, my brother is missing. When I heard this, I broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly interrupted her: What, it's missing, how can I pay back the 300,000 yuan I borrowed from the bank.

She said: I can't help it, there is one more thing I want to tell you, I hope you don't get angry. I said, "Tell me, what's the matter?" She pretended to say: I am ready to remarry, and I have gone home to sleep with the child's father. Don't be angry, anger hurts your liver. You know, I'm just your girlfriend, but I'm my daughter's mother and my daughter's father's wife. Of course, I did it for my daughter's sake. I hope you don't be a villain after listening, and dare to take the burden on my brother's loan.

When I heard this, I almost went crazy, thinking of acting for the tiger, helping her brother defraud the bank of 300,000, and thinking that I had divorced her, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became. I slapped her, and then I wanted to show a kind of manly arrogance: You go, there is no grass at the end of the world, and if I leave you, I don't believe that I will beat a bachelor. I will not shirk responsibility for your brother's loan.

I hate her, she resents her, and she doesn't want to think about her anymore, but it's easier said than done. During the time after I separated from Hong Lan, I became devastated and depressed. Because Hong Lan usually likes to wear a windbreaker and ride a red phoenix bicycle, whenever a woman wearing a windbreaker and riding a red phoenix bicycle walks in front of me, I have to keep my eyes open until the shadow of this person and the car completely disappears in front of my eyes.
