Chapter 256
It is said that drunk people are the hardest to coax. Qu Lian said that there was no need to show him the photo, but Homanshu stubbornly started to rummage through the bag, muttering: "The people in this photo look more and more familiar to me recently. You If it doesn’t matter, why would it look familiar to me?”
Qu Lian couldn't persuade him, and finally gave up. He followed Homanshu's movements of rummaging through the bag. He didn't see the photo at first glance, but only saw a stack of red banknotes. Qu Lian was startled. It happened to be that the first one The customers at the table were passing by while they were paying their bills. Qu didn’t even think about it. He grabbed Huo Manshu’s bag and coaxed her warmly, “Don’t look at it. Show it to me when you get back.”
Being stopped from moving, Huo Manshu lost her temper. She wanted to yell, but the big man who looked up kept looking back at her. With the strength of her drink, she had the courage to shout: "What are you looking at? I've never seen a woman before." ?”
Qu Lian followed Huo Manshu's gaze and couldn't help but frowned. As the saying goes, money should not be leaked. He didn't know that Huo Manshu actually carried so much money with him, and now that it was seen by others, it was inevitable that someone would be wrong. thought.
The meal was almost done. After Qu Lian greeted the boss to pay the bill, he carried Ho Manshu on his back and walked out of the store.
Because Huo Manshu was drunk and dishonest, Qu Lian couldn't ride his bicycle. If he didn't make a mistake, another accident might happen. After locking the bicycle, Qu Lian threw it at the door of the store and walked back with Huo Manshu on his back.
After passing through the snack street and reaching the alley, Qu Lian hesitated a little. He took two steps forward and then turned back. There were no street lights or surveillance cameras in this alley. If the drunken and cowardly group of people just acted, After thinking about it, this alley is perfect for an ambush.
He was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of the worst. There was a drunk Homanshu behind him, so he couldn't take risks.
But even if Qu Lian was vigilant, it was already too late at this time, and someone surrounded him from behind. Through the dim light of the snack street, Qu Lian could see that it was the group of people from the small restaurant.
"Brother, my girlfriend is not short of money with so much cash. Please sponsor me." Several people spoke with a smell of alcohol, and Qu Lian knew that he was in trouble this time. It would be easier for him to run alone. The key is that he also brought a drunk Homanshu with him.
"What are you doing? What are you arguing about? Do you want money?" The drunkenness was not over yet, and her head was still groggy. She staggered and pushed Qu Lian away, grabbed the bag in her hand, and threw away the cash inside like flowers. He came out and said: "Sister, I don't need the money, I'll give it to you! Take it and leave immediately!"
Not to mention others, even Qu Lian was stunned for a moment by Huo Manshu's move. However, his head turned quickly. It was better to lose money and avoid disaster than to get injured. While those people were picking up the money, he picked up Huo Manshu and went out. rush.
However, darkness easily breeds crime. Some people take money but are not satisfied with it. "Boy, I think your girlfriend is pretty good. Let's stay and have fun."
A big hand grabbed Homanshu's hair from behind, and a knife was pressed against Homanshu's neck. Homanshu screamed in pain, and she was mostly awake from the wine. Without the strength of the wine, Homanshu was a little scared, and her voice He shouted in a trembling voice.
In order to prevent Homanshu from being injured, Qu Lian could only put Homanshu down first. Listening to the sound of the big man laughing in triumph, Qu Lian narrowed his eyes: "Homanshu, when I count to three, you run forward and don't look back."< br>
Homanshu limped one leg and kept running towards the light, her eyes blurred by tears, but at this time, Homanshu still felt strange, she actually didn't seem to want to cry at all.
But the reality was that she was shouting at the top of her lungs: "Help, come and save Qu Lian!" The sound of fists and fists fighting behind her seemed to be infinitely amplified in Huo Manshu's ears, but she did not dare to look back, she was afraid of her He couldn't help but rush over and let Qu Lian's thoughts go to waste.
Fortunately, Homanshu happened to run out of the alley and met the patrol police. Unfortunately, when she took the people back, only Qu Lian, whose life and death were unknown, was left there.
That night, Qu Lian was sent to the emergency room. Ho Manshu was sitting outside the operating room in shock, like a puppet, without blinking. Her hands were still stained with the blood from Qu Lian's body.
At that time, it was Qu Lian who took the knife and saved her. Those people must have taken the Qu Lian to vent their anger when they saw her running away. Huo Manshu didn't dare to think about what would happen if Qu Lian died like this. She was too scared. She had broken bones. Her leg was also injured again during this run, but she could no longer feel the pain. All she could think about was Qulian.
The kind-hearted nurse reminded Homanshu to go for a check-up, but Homanshu refused to listen and stubbornly guarded Qulian.
Fortunately, Qu Lian was fine. He was stabbed in the abdomen, but it was not in a critical position. He could be hospitalized for a period of time.
When she heard the news, Huo Manshu's tension relaxed and she fainted.
When she woke up again, Huo Manshu went directly to Qu Lian's ward regardless of the situation. Facing Qu Lian's smiling eyes, she hugged Qu Lian across the quilt and cried without any image.
"It hurts, it hurts, the wound is about to burst." Qu Lian shouted twice exaggeratedly. Seeing that Huo Manshu was nervous, he smiled and comforted: "I'm fine, it's just a small injury."
From that day on, Huo Manshu started taking meticulous care. She always sent big and small supplements to Qu Lian's ward, which made all the uncles in the same ward look envious and asked Qu Lian: "Is she your girlfriend? ”
Qu Lian glanced at the blushing Huo Manshu and denied: "Not his girlfriend."
Hearing Qu Lian's answer, Huo Manshu was a little disappointed, but then she asked, "Are you really not your girlfriend?" As if to cover up her uneasiness, she said loudly: "There is no such store after this village. ”
After finishing speaking, Huo Manshu seemed to have split into another self, feeling extremely disgusted, but in fact she was waiting for Qu Lian's answer with a shy face.
The uncle next to him laughed loudly and joked, "This good little girl doesn't even have to worry about it anymore. What is the young man thinking?"
Qu Lian looked at Huo Manshu, who had bright eyes, and suddenly understood something. He took Huo Manshu's hand and showed a faint smile: "Huo Manshu, let's date."
Huo Manshu nodded hurriedly, feeling as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Huo Manshu's family is rich, and her father is the boss of a listed company. She is in the same situation as Qu Lian, both are quasi-graduates. She was an intern in her family's company, but she was injured and hospitalized all the time and was absent from work too many times. Her father knew.
When her father called, Huo Manshu chose to confess that she wanted to take Qu Lian to meet his parents and that she wanted to marry Qu Lian as soon as possible.
After she told Qu Lian about this matter, Qu Lian showed some resistance: "Isn't it too early? Your father will definitely object."
Huo Manshu was so carried away by love at this time that she didn't notice Qu Lian's unnaturalness at all, and she was absolutely sure: "No, as long as I like you, my father will agree. He loves me the most."
The day I actually meet my parents is a battlefield.
When Huo Manshu's father saw Qu Lian, his expression changed drastically, and he strongly opposed the two being together. He said that Qu Lian was not a good husband, and even threatened that if Huo Manshu did not cut off contact with Qu Lian, he would break off the father-daughter relationship with her. .
Huo Manshu ran away from home crying. She didn't know why her father, who had always loved her, said such hurtful words.
Qu Lian, who had said little during the whole process, put his arm around Homanshu's shoulders and whispered comfort: "If I were a father, I would not give my daughter to a man who seems unreliable. ”
Qu Lian rubbed Huo Manshu's head: "Don't cry. When your father's mood stabilizes, I will visit him again. With my sincerity, I will convince him."
With tears in her eyes, Homanshu sniffled and choked: "Is it true? We will be together, right?" The strange feeling in Homanshu's heart came again. Why is she always crying? Should she cry over such a trivial matter?
But the string of answers there distracted her from her thoughts. Qu Lian gave her a positive answer, and Huo Manshu was happy again.
Later, Qu Lian really visited Huo Manshu's father again. The two of them didn't know what they said. Huo Manshu only knew that from that day on, her father accepted the fact that she and Qu Lian were together, and arranged for Qu Lian to join the family. Became a senior executive in the company.
At that time, she didn't know what her father's compromise meant, but she was just immersed in the joy of being able to be together with Qu Lian forever.
After graduation, the two got married naturally, but all the changes seemed to have started after they got married.
Qulian began to stay up all night, always making phone calls while socializing, and occasionally coming home with a hint of strange perfume on his body.
Although Huo Manshu felt uneasy, she still chose to believe Qu Lian. She didn't want to believe that a person would change so much before and after marriage.
While waiting, Huo Manshu would always have an idea as to why she was waiting like a fool. But this idea was often only for a moment, and the next second it seemed like there was a hint that made her feel like this. This is what should be done.
On Homanshu's birthday, she was pleasantly surprised to find that Qu Lian had gone home early. With the romantic roses covering the living room and the ambiguous candlelight dinner, Homanshu's uneasy mood disappeared instantly.
Qulian's sweet words coaxed Homanshu into a daze, and she couldn't control her enthusiasm. However, this eagerness that seemed to tear the other person apart cooled down when the phone rang.
Huo Manshu asked him what happened with her eyes.
After Qu Lian answered the phone, he kissed Homanshu on the forehead with some apology, helped her get dressed, and picked up the suit jacket that was draped on the chair: "Be good, I have a social event, I'm leaving first."< br>
Huo Manshu felt a little aggrieved. She took Qu Lian's arm and complained softly like a cat: "Today is my birthday."
After finishing speaking, Huo Manshu suddenly paused. Is this the time for her to say such a thing? The next second, I felt like I was very smart. What should I say if I don't say this at this time?
Qu Lian rubbed Huo Manshu's head, as if comforting a child: "Be good, I will make it up to you in the future."
Although Huo Manshu was angry, she was not the kind of person who made trouble unreasonably. After muttering a few words unhappily, she let go, and worriedly asked Qu Lian not to drink too much.
Seeing Qu Lian's figure disappearing behind the door, Huo Manshu stopped him and said, "Qu Lian, our love will not change, right."
Qu Lian smiled fondly and said, "It will never change."
Huo Manshu felt that it was about that time that the relationship between her and Qu Lian began to change.
Only half an hour after Qu Lian left, Homanshu was packing her things when she received a strange message. There was nothing special about it, it was just a picture, but that picture made Homanshu's heart shrink violently. one time.
In the picture, Qu Lian was behaving intimately with a woman. The clothes he was wearing were clearly the ones he wore when he left. Homanshu's throat was a little choked, and her hands and feet felt cold when she remembered what Qu Lian said before leaving.
She told herself that she should believe that Qu Lian was not that kind of person, but when the stranger sent him his address for the second time, she still couldn't help it.
The address was very close to her home. It was a bar. Among the countless people, Homanshu immediately spotted Qu Lian sitting in front of the bar. Next to him sat the woman in the photo. Qu Lian's hand was on her On the woman's waist, he turned his head and talked to her, making the woman keep laughing.
Huo Manshu didn't know how she walked through the crowd. By the time she reacted, she had already taken the wine in front of Qu Lian and poured it on the heads of the two people.
Qu Lian stood up with a gloomy face. When he was about to speak, he realized that the person standing in front of him was Homanshu. He paused for a second, turned his head and glanced at the woman beside him. Without explaining, he just asked Homanshu: "You don't believe me?"
Huo Manshu didn't speak during the whole process, and she didn't even say a single word of explanation. Someone had already provoked her with a photo, so what should she believe?
Huo Manshu actually felt that she could do better, but for some reason she just did an insignificant act of throwing wine.
The cold war between the two seems to have started that day. Qu Lian still leaves early and comes home late. When he is busy, he may not see anyone for a week. Huo Manshu has not received any more inexplicable photos, but her heart has gradually changed from the beginning. The expectation that Qu Lian would explain slowly turned into disappointment. Even so, Huo Manshu never thought about divorce because she loved Qu Lian.
like? Huo Manshu was confused, did she really love him?
This thought had just emerged, and the next second it was as if someone had brainwashed her and told her that she loved Qulian very much.
Well, Homanshu believed it.
When Qu Lian finally stopped being busy and returned home, he brought back bad news to her. Her father was arrested on suspicion of embezzlement and misappropriation of company funds, a huge amount of money.
"This is impossible. My father is not that kind of person, and he is not short of money. How could he embezzle the company's money!" Huo Manshu's first reaction was disbelief. She begged Qu as if she was grasping the last straw. Lian: "Qu Lian, aren't you studying the Fa? You are so powerful. You are helping dad. There must be some misunderstanding. Believe me, dad is not that kind of person. I want to see dad and I want to ask him clearly!" ”
Accompanied by Qu Lian, Huo Manshu met her father. Facing all kinds of questions from Huo Manshu, Huo's father avoided answering and just told Huo Manshu to leave it alone.
Back home, Huo Manshu was always in a state of despair. She couldn't understand why her good life suddenly became like this.
Qu Lian comforted her warmly, telling Huo Manshu not to worry, as he would help with Huo's father's affairs.
Huo Manshu was used to being pampered, so she could only place her hope in Qu Lian at this time.
Day after day, more than a month passed, but there was still no progress in Huo's father's affairs. When I asked Qu Lian, Qu Lian only said that he had tried his best.
Huo Manshu was worried every day, fearing that Qu Lian would be under too much pressure to collect evidence, so she secretly found a private detective and took a two-pronged approach.
But Huo Manshu didn't expect that the private detective would be the trigger for her divorce.
