Insincere

When Liang Rui and Liang Xiaoyuan returned home, it was already very late, but he had something on his mind, after putting Liang Xiaoyuan to sleep, he called Liu Sirong overnight.

Liu Sirong had obviously fallen asleep, and said in a daze, "What's the matter, Brother Rui? You're calling so late."

As soon as Liang Rui heard Liu Sirong's voice, he didn't look like there was anything wrong. He tentatively asked: "Didn't you say that there will be an inspection by the Health Bureau today? I'm a little worried, so I'll ask."

Liu Sirong just laughed, "Hey, that's all, I thought you had something wrong."

"Forehead……"

Liu Sirong smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just a routine spot check, after reading it, I left, and praised our hygiene condition for being good!"

Liang Rui was silent for a moment, and finally said: "That's good, go to sleep."

"En." Liu Sirong yawned and hung up the phone.

Liang Rui pinched his phone in thought, it seems that Jiang Ming just made a trip to make Liu Sirong temporarily unable to leave, and did not really touch her.But...is this a warning to him?

Although nothing happened this time, what about the next time, next time?Do I really want to live in fear all the time?Liang Rui pressed his forehead in pain. It was hard for him to have his current life. Do he want to abandon it again?Or would he and Jiang Ming lose both?Why bother... In fact, he really just wants to live a good life away from right and wrong.

..............................

After that day, Jiang Ming seemed to be busy again, and did not appear in front of Liang Rui for some days.

Liang Rui's life returned to a short period of peace, commuting to and from get off work on time, and having dinner with Liu Sirong from time to time.Liu Sirong's business has been quite good recently, and Liang Rui is very happy when he is considering whether to open a second branch. He took time to accompany her to several places and advise her. His life is busy and fulfilling.

It was not until next week that Liang Rui received another call from Jiang Ming asking him to meet.

This time, the two ate at Jiang Ming's home. Jiang Ming cooked a few dishes himself. After eating, he began to eat Liang Rui, pushing Liang Rui on the sofa to cook again.

It can be said to be full of wine and food.

Since the atmosphere was quite harmonious, Jiang Ming's service was considered adequate, and Liang Rui was quite comfortable in the end, but it made him feel a little awkward that the two of them were still lying crookedly on the sofa after the work was over.

The so-called lovers are together, even if they don't speak, they are happy just looking at each other, but two people who hate each other but stay together because of distorted feelings are purely embarrassing.

In order to avoid this kind of embarrassment, Liang Rui simply closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Who knew that this embrace was warm and comfortable, and he really fell asleep in a daze after a while.

Upon waking up, Liang Rui found that he was still held in Jiang Ming's arms. He finally couldn't help it, moved and said, "I should go back."

Jiang Ming buried his chin on the side of Liang Rui's neck, and hummed lightly, but he didn't let go immediately, he seemed to hesitate, and then said slowly: "There is a banquet in W City this Sunday night, I hope you You can join me."

Liang Rui's expression changed.

One of the things he least wanted to happen in his life was to be connected with people and things from before.To those people, he is already a dead man!How embarrassing to die!How ridiculous!There is absolutely no need to appear ashamed in front of others again!

"I'll take it as if you didn't say that." Liang Ruihan said in a voice, pushed Jiang Ming's hand away and stood up.

He took the clothes and began to put them on, but his hands trembled slightly in anger, and he buttoned them a few times before he could button them up. Liang Rui calmed down a little when he walked out the door and the cool breeze blew.

His behavior just now was actually irrational. He knew that this might have bad consequences, but he still left without saying a word.Because if he didn't leave, he really couldn't control his emotions any longer, and he was afraid that he would explode.

What does it mean to attend a banquet with Jiang Ming? He knows the meaning, but doesn't Jiang Ming know?Is he so eager to return to that world and return to the vision of those people?Let people see what he, the ridiculous adopted son of the Jiang family, has become now?

let those people...

Let those friends, subordinates, and enemies he used to see him worse than before!Is it more despicable than before? !

Liang Rui kicked hard on the wall, his eyes flushed with anger.

After Liang Rui returned home, he didn't contact anyone for two days, and even made excuses for not going to the company.

Jiang Ming's words were like a heavy boulder pressing on his chest, as long as he closed his eyes, they would keep echoing in his ears.

Liang Rui finally had no way to deceive himself and others, he knew that he was not that free and easy.

He can start over and leave without any regrets, but none of this can erase the traces of his past 20 years of existence, where he had the best and most painful period of his life. All his pride was thrown away, and he fled with scars all over his body.

He is a complete loser, he lost his love, his career, and finally his personality.

For so many years, he seldom left Pingcheng, and he didn’t even go to W City much. He lived an incognito life in this humble small city, avoiding any places that might have intersections with the past, and avoiding any possible interactions with others. Things that have been connected before.

He has escaped safely for so many years.

He can't go back.

It's only been two days, Liang Rui looked at himself in the mirror again, and even laughed at his decadent appearance.

So, what a coward you are.Liang Rui said.

It was not until the third day that Liang Rui recovered. He washed his face, shaved off his beard, and took care of himself neatly.

He has already lost once, is he going to kneel down and beg for mercy before this time begins?Won't.

If he was really scared by Jiang Ming's words, even he himself would look down on him.

He is Liang Rui. He has gone through so many difficulties and desperate situations. Will he be easily beaten this time?

Liang Rui had been waiting for Jiang Ming's call these days, waiting for his next move, but instead of Jiang Ming's call, he waited for Liu Sirong's call first.

Liang Rui hadn't heard Liu Sirong's panicked voice for a long time, even through the phone, he could feel her fear and helplessness.

When he hurried to Liu Sirong's house, looking at the scene in front of him, his eyes were filled with anger and worry.

The front of Liu Sirong's house was covered with red paint, large and small dead characters!The anti-theft door still has traces of being smashed, and all kinds of foul-smelling garbage and dead poultry are piled up at the door.

"A Rong, are you in there? Are you okay?" Liang Rui knocked on the door desperately, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

After a long time, the door slowly opened a crack, revealing Liu Sirong's tear-stained face.

Liang Rui hugged her forcefully in his arms, and kicked the door shut until the person in his arms stopped trembling, then asked in a soothing tone: "What's going on? Don't be afraid, just tell me."

Liu Sirong trembled again, almost biting her lips with blood, and after a long time, she said in an inaudible voice: "He's here."

Liang Rui instantly understood what was going on.

The scene of meeting Liu Sirong seven years ago resurfaced in Liang Rui's mind again. At that time, he was struggling to leave City A with his children and headed south. To a girl who doesn't even have trash left.

This girl dropped out of junior high school and came to work in a big city from the countryside, and lived with a man who also worked on a construction site.

A man with no cultural quality eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, eats, eats, and is lazy. When he is drunk, he beats the girl frequently. The girl is often beaten all over her body, but she knows nothing and understands nothing. She has no way to leave the man who almost destroyed her. , There is no way to break her current situation, she is ignorant and ignorant, and she doesn't even have the consciousness to change everything.

Until...even this man left her, leaving her alone in the cold and ruthless steel city.

When Liang Rui met Liu Sirong, she was still dissatisfied, but she couldn't see any brilliance or hope in those eyes, like a walking corpse waiting to die.

He has never been a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, especially when he is in trouble.

But in a flash, he suddenly had no way to let such a girl be destroyed like this. She could be saved if she stretched out her hand, so why didn't she lend a helping hand?Like no one is going to help him...

So he stretched out his hand and saved others as well as himself.

In the beginning, he just asked Liu Sirong to help him take care of the child. Liu Sirong didn't know anything, but she had the instinct of a woman's motherly love. She was kind and tenacious.

Seeing this, Liang Rui began to teach her more, teaching her self-esteem and self-love, teaching her how to survive, teaching her to protect herself... He planned her life for her, asked her to learn a skill, and made her strong and brave. independent.They came to this strange city, and through hard work, they got everything they have now. Little by little, he watched this woman who was as fragile as duckweed grow into what she is now.

Elegant and beautiful like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon.

Why... their nightmares have to come back?

Liang Rui's eyes were full of pain and pity. He deeply understood what a terrifying existence that man was to Liu Sirong, and he was the only demon in her past world.

Even if she is different from before now, how can the fear buried in her heart fade away easily.

Liang Rui patted Liu Sirong's shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, tell me slowly, what's going on."

Perhaps Liang Rui's arrival brought great comfort to Liu Sirong, she finally regained her composure and spoke slowly.

Things started two days ago.The man has been avoiding debts outside these years, and because of his bad habits, he has become more and more desperate. He did not know where he learned about Liu Sirong's current situation, and knew that she is doing well now, so he suddenly came to the door to blackmail him, asking for 50 yuan.

Not to mention that Liu Sirong didn't have that much cash, even if she had, she would never agree, so she kicked him out on the spot.

However, in this world, people who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes. How can a woman like Liu Sirong be able to deal with such scoundrels?

That man squatted in the store every day to harass her, and at night he came to her house to threaten and scold her, and the harassing neighbors couldn't avoid it.

As soon as Liu Sirong called the police, he immediately disappeared without a trace. Once the police left, he came back again, lingering like a nightmare.

Liu Sirong persisted for two days and was finally about to collapse, so she called Liang Rui.

The more Liang Rui heard it, the angrier he felt in his heart. For such a scoundrel, he could only be dealt with by being more ruthless than him. How could a normal law-abiding person risk his life not to fight such a person?This person also saw through this point, so he was so confident!

He suppressed the anger in his heart, and comforted Liu Sirong, "It's not safe for you to stay at home alone, go to my place."

Liu Sirong nodded blankly, and obediently followed Liang Rui to pack his things and leave.

When they arrived at Liang Rui's house, they held on tightly to his sleeves and refused to let go. Liang Rui looked distressed and stroked Liu Sirong's back, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. You can stay at home and I'll go out for a while." Just come back."

"You, where are you going?" Liu Sirong's emotions that had finally stabilized began to collapse again, looking at Liang Rui with tears in his eyes.

"Go and do something." Liang Ruiwen laughed.

Liu Sirong was very reluctant for Liang Rui to leave, but she was a sensible woman, so she finally let go.

Liang Rui turned around with a cold look in his eyes.

He drove directly to Jiang Ming's apartment and almost ran through two red lights along the way.Until he walked to Jiang Ming's door, he didn't calm down the anger in his chest.

Liang Rui took a deep breath and slapped the door heavily.

After a while, the door opened. Jiang Ming was wearing pajamas and looked at Liang Rui who suddenly appeared outside the door with some surprise.

"You...why are you here?" Jiang Ming looked at Liang Rui with complicated expressions, a little surprised and a little happy.

Liang Rui looked at him, with anger and pain intertwined in his eyes.This wasn't the boy he remembered, not since many years ago.The man in front of him is a complete demon, only he is still stubbornly stuck in the past, refusing to leave, stubbornly affirming, stubbornly believing.

But in fact... people are subject to change, and time will make beautiful things become hideous.

Liang Ruihu raised his hand high.

With a crisp 'pa', Jiang Ming's face was slapped sideways.
