Life 1984

Chapter 405 The Night Sky in Mong Kok

Guo Wanhua's face was calm, and she said coldly: "I understand, I will accompany you tonight, don't pay attention to him."

Li Yunhai wanted to meet the man named Lao Bian, so he said, "We can also invite your friends to come over and eat together while we are eating. There is no conflict."

Lin Zhi asked with a smile, "Sister Guo, are you in love? Someone invited me to have dinner and watch a movie. I think you can regain your second youth."

Guo Wanhua sighed: "No, Lao Bian is just a friend. I have two children to take care of now. Meilin will take the college entrance examination next year, and her studies are the most stressful time now. She must sleep with me at night, nanny. Not even the nanny. When he cries, it’s the Sanskrit sound calling for my life. No matter whether I just fell asleep or how long I’ve been asleep, I have to wake up immediately to coax him. Do you think I still have the mind and time to fall in love? "

Speaking of children, Lin Zhi was also deeply touched and chatted with Guo Wanhua: "My Xiaoxi only needs me to sleep with her. When she wakes up at night, if she can't see me, she will cry. Only I can coax her well. Even if she wakes up at night, she will burst into tears if she can't see me. Even with the lights off, she can smell my scent, don’t you think it’s irritating?”

Li Yunhai was laughing beside him. He had never taken care of children before, so he couldn't talk to her at all. He could only express his understanding and sympathy.

She was also a woman, but Su Hong couldn't interrupt. Not only did she not give birth to a child, she even stayed in the boudoir. Since she became Li Yunhai's secretary, because of her beautiful appearance, hard study, and rich social experience, she has become Li Yunhai's secret and deeply loved. The boss likes her, and she works harder, but delays personal matters.

After joining the Sihai Group, my salary was higher, I got more bonuses, and I could occasionally travel abroad. My family conditions have been greatly improved, and all the electrical appliances I didn't dare to buy before have been purchased for my family. Now the family only worries about her lifelong affairs.

However, Su Hong seems to have found another life path besides marriage. She goes all out to work and serves Mr. Li conscientiously. She never mentions love and marriage, which makes her family heartbroken but helpless.

The three women finished trying on clothes and each chose one.

Li Yunhai didn't rush to pay the bill, because he knew that Guo Wanhua was rich and wanted face. Three pieces of clothing cost several thousand yuan, which was just a drop in the bucket for her.

After paying the bill, Li Yunhai put the bag in the trunk of the car and put it away.

Several people went to the supermarket to shop for maternal and infant products.

Linzhi is like a bee entering a spring garden, wandering around happily, browsing the entire store first, and then carefully selecting. Everything feels so good that I want to buy it home.

"Yunhai, look at this crib. It's big and safe. Xiaoxi can sleep there until she goes to kindergarten. Even if she learns to stand, the railings are so high that she can't climb out. It even has a mosquito net!"

"And this one, Yunhai, look at how light this stroller is? It can also be folded! It's much better than the one made of wood at home. Why don't you buy one? It will be fun to push her out shopping and in the park in the future."

"Is this imported milk powder? Is the quality better? Buy a box and take it home? Xiaoxi has been weaned, but the milk powder cannot be weaned. I just don't know how long the shelf life is?"

When a woman becomes a mother, she only cares about her children. When she goes shopping, she only thinks about buying things for her children.

As for men, aren’t they just tools for carrying things? Of course it can also be used as a cash machine.

Li Yunhai followed beside him and said, "Buy whatever you like! Pay the money and have them deliver it to your home, and then let Sister Guo arrange a car to help us take it to Xizhou."

Lin Zhi was of course willing to buy things for her children, ranging from baby thermal underwear to cribs.

Guo Wanhua smiled and said: "Xiao Zhi, actually my family An An left a crib. Now he doesn't need it. I always take him to sleep. The bed is in good condition. If you don't mind, you can give it to Xiao Xi." Use it. Also, I have a baby stroller, childhood clothes, and a few big boxes."

"I think it can be used." Li Yunhai said, "In the past, people still paid attention to eating hundreds of meals, so that children would grow up well."

Lin Zhi also thought it was okay. She knew that Guo Wanhua was more particular about shopping than she was, and was more willing to spend money. She bought all the best things for her baby An An, and there was no shame in picking them up and using them, so she agreed.

In the end, she picked out items worth more than 1 yuan, including a box of imported milk powder.

After Li Yunhai paid, he asked the store to deliver the goods to the Repulse Bay Villa. Guo Wanhua called home and asked the servant to receive it on her behalf.

They continued shopping.

Guo Wanhua never returned Lao Bian's call and seemed to have forgotten about it a long time ago.

In the evening, Guo Wanhua invited guests, and Li Yunhai said that instead of eating at any high-end restaurant, just eat at the food stalls! The essence of gourmet food is actually in the food stalls.

Guo Wanhua took them to a Ho Kee food stall in Causeway Bay.

Li Yunhai invited Zhuang Yong and others to come over and eat together.

Zhuang Yong and the others politely said no, just sit at another table.

Lin Zhi smiled and said: "Brother Yong, don't be so outspoken, let's come together!"

Zhuang Yong was so moved when the landlady called him Brother Yong that he thanked him and sat down with Shitou and Liang Tian.

"Xiao Zhi, you haven't seen the company's building, right? Over there is our global headquarters. It used to be the British Navy Building, but now it is our Sihai Building." Guo Wanhua pointed and said, "And here , look at the building under construction, which is the land acquired by Yunhai for HK$9 million, and is under construction. When completed, it will be the tallest building in the entire Causeway Bay."

Lin Zhi followed the direction of her finger, turned her head, and said with a sweet smile: "I only know that he has done a great job in Xiangjiang, and I just saw it today!"

Guo Wanhua ordered the food and said, "I will take you to the company for inspection tomorrow? You are the boss's wife!"

Lin Zhi said yes and asked: "Sister Guo, is there anything interesting in Xiangjiang?"

"Hong Kong is very small. For locals, there are actually no interesting places. Ocean World and amusement parks are also available in the mainland. You can also see the sea and ports in the mainland. For mainlanders, the most fun thing is shopping. , because the business here is indeed more developed than that in the mainland. So many mainland people come here to purchase, saying that this is a shopping paradise. When it comes to the scenery, it is really not as good as the mainland."

She hit the nail on the head.

Today's Xiangjiang is still somewhat attractive to newcomers like Lin Zhi.

For Li Yunhai, Xiangjiang is equivalent to the level of second-tier cities in later generations.

The dishes ordered were served at once and everyone ate together.

Guo Wanhua was very generous and ordered a large table of delicious food.

Salt and pepper pork ribs, salt and pepper fresh squid, fried and stuffed three treasures, fried crab with ginger and green onion, salty pork knuckles with black pepper, fried clams with black bean pepper, diced potato and beef tenderloin and other delicacies will make people feel satisfied and enjoy themselves.

While we were eating, there was suddenly a loud noise across the road. Two groups of young people started fighting for some unknown reason. Then, two groups of young people dragging knives and sticks ran over and started fighting each other if they disagreed.

Lin Zhi was shocked and asked, "What are they doing?"

Guo Wanhua whispered: "Young and Dangerous, they are fighting! Don't worry about them."

Lin Zhi was stunned for a moment.

Li Yunhai moved his position in front of her, blocking her view, and said, "Don't look at it, it's very bloody and violent. I'm afraid you'll have nightmares at night."

Lin Zhi only glanced at it and saw that someone had been chopped to a bloody head and half of someone's arm was chopped off. She was so frightened that she covered her mouth and her body trembled slightly.

Although fights often occur in the mainland, it is still rare for two groups of people to hack and kill together like this. It simply refreshed Lin Zhi's knowledge.

The people at the food stalls here eat the food without hesitation, as if they are used to this kind of thing.

The fight didn't last long, and the two groups dispersed with the sound of police sirens in the distance.

Guo Wanhua's mobile phone rang.

She answered the phone and said, "Old Bian, I'm not free. I want to spend time with my friends. Did you see me? Where are you?"

From a Mercedes on the street, a middle-aged man with a mobile phone in his hand got out. He was in his 50s or [-]s. He was well maintained and had no belly. He waved to Guo Wanhua and walked over.

Guo Wanhua hung up the phone and said to Li Yunhai, "He is Lao Bian."

Lao Bian came over with a smile and dragged a chair to sit next to Guo Wanhua.

But neither Li Yunhai nor Lin Zhi gave in, so Lao Bian had no choice but to sit down next to him.

"Wanhua, I invited you to eat at Fulinmen. If you didn't go, why did you come here to eat at the food stall?" Lao Bian laughed and said, "This is not in line with your status! Look over there, a group of The bad guy beats the world to the point of darkness! Where can I still be in the mood to eat?"

"I think the food here is better." Guo Wanhua said, "You are a big shot, so I won't treat you. You go and eat at Fulinmen!"

Lao Bian chuckled: "I've already eaten. How about watching a movie together tonight?"

Guo Wanhua peeled off a crab leg, picked out the white and tender meat inside, ate it, and said, "You also saw that a table of my friends are here."

Lao Bian still didn't want to give up: "Then let's go together?"

Guo Wanhua asked Lin Zhi: "Want to watch a movie tonight?"

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter to us! Anyway, it's up to you to make the arrangements."

Li Yunhai also thinks that watching movies is a good choice. There are a lot of good movies in Hong Kong during this period, and many of them are worth watching again and again.

Lao Bian looked at Li Yunhai and said in less fluent Mandarin: "This must be Wanhua's cousin, right?"

Li Yunhai nodded calmly: "I am."

Lao Bian stretched out his hand: "Nice to meet you. My name is Liu A-Bian. Everyone I know calls me Lao Bian. From now on, we will be a family."

Li Yunhai sneered slightly, thinking, who is your family? Said: "My hands are full of oil, so I won't shake hands."

Lao Bian took back his hand and said with a smile: "Wanhua, your whole family is very handsome! Your cousin is very handsome!"

Guo Wanhua ate her meal without answering.

Lao Bian is a familiar person and talks a lot. Even if no one pays attention to him, he can talk non-stop by himself.

After eating, the group went to a nearby movie theater.

This year in Hong Kong, classic movies appeared in large numbers.

There are many movies that are currently showing, including The Good News, Tiger Is Out, Police Story Continuation, The Flying Dragon, etc. Li Yunhai and the others chose a comedy, no matter how rich and powerful they are.

Lao Bian must buy tickets.

Guo Wanhua said that if I invite my guests to watch a movie, what does it have to do with you? Even if you buy a ticket, we won’t ask you for it.

Lao Bian smiled awkwardly and was not angry.

Lin Zhi whispered: "Yun Hai, this person is obviously chasing Sister Guo, but Sister Guo doesn't seem to be interested in him."

Li Yunhai hummed.

Who wouldn't like a woman like Guo Wanhua?

However, she is a wealthy widow herself, and she really looks down upon ordinary people.

Guo Wanhua bought the tickets and entered the screening hall with Li Yunhai and others. She even invited Zhuang Yong and others.

There are so many of them that one can sit in most of the rows.

Although Lao Bian also came in, he stayed far away from Guo Wanhua.

On Li Yunhai's left is Lin Zhi, on his right is Guo Wanhua, and next to Guo is Su Hong.

The lights in the theater dimmed and the main movie started.

This video is very funny and joyful, and the audience burst into laughter from time to time.

Lin Zhi chuckled and said: "Hai Yun, the movies in Xiangjiang are better than those in the mainland."

Li Yunhai said: "Yes! Let's take some more videos home to watch."

Lin Zhi said yes.

Li Yunhai had never had a chance to be alone with Guo Wanhua. At this moment, taking advantage of the darkness, he quietly reached out and took Guo Wanhua's hand.

Guo Wanhua's hands are soft and slender, as delicate as silk.

She struggled slightly.

Li Yunhai tightened his grip.

Guo Wanhua pinched him with the nail of her thumb.

Li Yunhai endured the pain and held on.

Guo Wanhua had no choice but to hide her hand between the two seats.

Li Yunhai also pressed down on her wrist, and the two communicated silently through the movements of their fingers.

This is all done in secret and cannot be seen by others.

Li Yunhai stroked gently in her palm, actually writing a word.

Guo Wanhua seemed to feel it and couldn't help but pinch him.

Lin Zhi held Li Yunhai's left hand and discussed the plot with him softly.

Li Yunhai had both sides, and was very happy.

The movie was great and the time passed easily and happily.

Li Yunhai didn't let go of Guo Wanhua's hand until the headlights came on.

Guo Wanhua's resentful eyes made Li Yunhai feel scared.

The night has fallen.

Lao Bian came up and asked Guo Wanhua: "My cousin, they rarely come to Xiangjiang. Can we invite them to the nightclub?"

Guo Wanhua looked at Li Yunhai and listened to his opinion.

Li Yunhai was looking for a chance to get along with Guo Wanhua, so he said: "Then let's go and have fun! Is there anything interesting?"

Lao Bian immediately told me that there was a very good nightclub in Mong Kok, where you could drink, sing, and dance.

Everyone went to a nightclub in Mong Kok.

Lin Zhi and Su Hong both had good voices, and they started singing after they came in.

Li Yunhai invited Guo Wanhua to dance together.

Lao Bian sat beside him in a daze.

Li Yunhai put his arms around Guo Wanhua's slim waist, looked into her eyes, and said, "He is chasing you."

"Are there not many people chasing me? They are just prodigal sons. Before they get it, a woman is a treasure to them, and after they get it, they are like worn out shoes."

"Are you criticizing Sang and Huai? Are you scolding me for playing with your feelings?"

"No. It should be said that I played with your feelings and gave up on you all the time!"

Li Yunhai was speechless.

Guo Wanhua sighed softly: "Yunhai, just forget about sister! I'm so old that I shouldn't have such a young and beautiful body like yours."

Li Yunhai said: "Why do these words sound so harsh to me?"

Guo Wanhua blushed and said, "Really, if anyone finds out about this, they will definitely scold me for eating young grass."

"Then what were we before?"

"Any relationship will have a beginning and an end. This is a normal thing. Don't you think so? It's time to end it now. It's that simple. Lin Zhi is a good girl, I feel pity for her, please treat her well . You know me, I have only been with two men in my life, one I didn’t want to follow but had to, and one I wanted to follow but couldn’t.”

Li Yunhai saw the sadness in her eyes.

Their faces were very close to each other and they were talking quietly so that only they could hear.

"Sister Guo, why do you have to suffer yourself? I didn't say I didn't want you, let alone despise you. Although you are a little older than me, the beauty and pleasure you bring to me are real and other Incomparable to humans.”

"Yunhai, I hope that our relationship will be treasured in your heart forever, and let it become the most beautiful memory! An An will always be your child. If you miss him, you can come and see him at any time. But - Please forgive me, I really can’t be good to you now. I won’t be able to find another man in the future, please rest assured. You are my last and the only man I have ever loved.”

Hearing such a heartless confession, Li Yunhai couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy.

He could see that Guo Wanhua was very firm and spoke from her heart.

After all, she, like Zhu Lin, is not a woman who can be a mistress casually.

Li Yunhai was not married before, so they all had an expectation, that is, what if Li Yunhai and Lin Zhi break up? Then they have a chance.

When Li Yunhai really got married, their hearts died.

When Li Yunhai saw Guo Wanhua's attitude, he also thought of Zhu Lin's attitude.

In the past three months, although Li Yunhai had no time to go to Beijin, he had been in contact with Zhu Lin by phone.

After the courtyard was renovated, Zhu Lin moved in. She told her parents that she had broken up with Li Yunhai and that she rented the courtyard.

She and Li Yunhai only talked about work and never mentioned romantic matters.

You can still be friends after breaking up. This sentence has been put into practice in them.

Li Yunhai didn't want to say anything more and could only let things develop naturally.

And now, he has a little too much time to deal with Lin Zhi and Shen Xiulan.

They stayed until twelve o'clock in the evening before leaving.

From beginning to end, Guo Wanhua never gave Lao Bian any chance, not even the chance to dance.

She didn't say a word of rejection, but she used actions to reject the other party's pursuit all the time.

After walking out of the nightclub, Li Yunhai looked up at the sky in Mong Kok.

The sky is not completely black, but has a very strange red color, which is the reflection of the neon lights of the city.

The night was foggy and confused, just like Li Yunhai's mood at this moment.

No matter rebirth, the sand that cannot be held will still slip away, and the people that cannot be retained will eventually leave.

Even if he doesn't choose to let go of the sand in his palm, the tighter he holds it, the less sand will be in his hand.
