Chapter 431 - Punishment



Chapter 431: Chapter 432 Punishment

Dong Xiaoye rushed back to the police station in a hurry. Although it was to send back the evidence that proved that it was Gong Fanlin who hired a group of delinquent students to attack me and Brother Wei, she had another even more important thing to do. From the information given by Sang Yingjie, there was a rat within the police force. She must report this to Lin Zhi as soon as possible.

The weather in June was so unpredictable. A few minutes ago, the sky was still clear and the sun was shining, but in the blink of an eye, it was covered by dark clouds. It was only 2:30 in the afternoon, but the sky was dark as if the night had come early. There were no thunder or lightning flashes. It was not raining, and there wasn’t any trace of wind. The branches of the two willow trees outside the bank were hanging down lifelessly as if they were sick. Time seemed to be frozen. It was quiet and almost creepy.

The air-conditioner in the bank was broken, so it felt as hot as a sauna inside the bank. If the weather hadn’t suddenly changed so badly, causing terrible traffic jams, we would have already left.

Mo Fei made a small fan with the newspaper and fanned herself with it a few times and then fanned me with it a few times. Originally, I only felt that my body was hot, but now she made me feel like my heart was also hot. However, she didn’t seem to notice it. She just focused on wiping the sweat on my forehead with her handkerchief, ignoring that she was also sweating.

Seeing this, I felt a strong regret. I should have kept a handkerchief in my pocket…

“Why do you want to withdraw money today? Did you overspend this month?”

Mo Fei’s question made me want to smile bitterly.

When I lived alone, my life was not only free and casual, but the amount of money I could save could even surprise myself. But now, the food expenses of the three women almost cost me one-third of my salary. Most of it was used to buy snacks, beer, and other drinks, and most of it was consumed by Dong Xiaoye…

“Mhm… A little bit over, but that’s not why I am here today.” In fact, apart from the food expenses, the three women were very good at calculating other spendings. At least, they knew that they should save money for me. I said, “I need it for something else.”

Mo Fei seemed to want to get to the bottom of it, “What is it for?”

“Fei Fei, why do I feel like you are interrogating me…

Mo Fei stopped fanning me. The gentle expression that she had on her face earlier also disappeared. With a serious and suspicious look on her face at this moment, she said, “My mother said that when a man has money, he will become bad. If it is not for the living expenses, then why do you need to withdraw money?”

She must be thinking something unrealistic. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Don’t tell me that you are thinking that I’m going to spend that money on some women.”

“Is it strange to think that way?” Mo Fei’s face became even colder, “Different environments would provide different influences; those who kept company with the wolf would learn to howl. You think I don’t know that those stinky men in the general operation team often invited you to those dirty places to fool around with those dirty women.”

Uh… The image of the goddess of this woman in my mind was completely gone. At the moment, she was just like a jealous girlfriend, “Who said…”

“Cheng Liusu!” Mo Fei sneered, “She will never wrong you, right?”

Liusu this bratty girl, why did she want to tell Mo Fei about these boring things? Besides, whenever Brother Wei and other colleagues of mine forcibly dragged me to have fun, she always followed us shamelessly. So whether I had fooled around with a woman before, she knew better than everyone else, right? Was she deliberately slandering me in front of Mo Fei?

“The women around me have already given me enough headaches. How can I still have the energy to find other women?” I sighed helplessly and said, “It’s just going to be several tens of thousand yuan. And I didn’t plan to hide it from everyone…”

Mo Fei clearly knew that she was one of the women who gave me headaches because she blushed. Maybe she was really curious, or maybe she wanted to change the subject, she hurriedly asked, “Tens of thousand yuan? What do you want to do with so much cash?”

Was it a lot? For me, it was indeed a big expense, but in the face of life, it was just a pile of waste paper…

I hesitated for a moment, but eventually still told the story about Grandma Shu to her. One of the reasons was that I felt that it was not easy to fool Mo Fei. And the second reason was that I also wanted to hear Mi Fei’s views on this matter.

Whether Grandma Shu’s condition should be told to Shu Tong, Liusu and I were always hesitant. Tomorrow, they were going back to the village. It was going to be the last chance for us to make the decision, so listening to the opinions of another person may help us…

Mo Fei listened to me quietly, without showing any expression. After all, the Shu family was no different from strangers to her. She held my hand and said to me in a soft tone, “Chu Nan, you are really a stupid good person. Don’t you think that what you are doing is already beyond the scope of helping friends?”

“I know that I am overestimating my own abilities, but this is not beyond the scope of helping friends, right? Shu Tong is not only Liusu’s cousin, but also my friend.” I chuckled and said, “Maybe I’m really a stupid good guy, but I don’t want to be hypocritical. Fei Fei, to be honest, I don’t like the way that Father Shu and Mother Shu concealed their mother’s illness from their mother and Shu Tong.

“I dare not to tell Liusu this because I would feel very guilty telling her what I really thought. But I’m not afraid of telling you. I don’t like the role I’m currently playing. Letting a dying old woman live in the lie we created during the last moments of her life, can this kind of lie really bring true happiness? Such happiness was too fake. It wasn’t genuine at all. But if they think that this is the best they can do, I have no right to complain about anything, nor do I have the right to expose the truth. After all, it is someone else’s family affair; it has nothing to do with me…”

“Chu Nan…”

“I’m okay. It’s just that I can’t stand it anymore. It was Liusu who helped Shu Tong persuade me to participate in this lie. I was afraid that Liusu would blame herself, even more, so I didn’t dare to talk to her about these things,” I laughed at myself and continued, “You should know that I am not a noble person. Even when doing good deeds, to a large extent it is to satisfy my selfishness and have my own purpose. It was like when I helped You, the motivation I had at that time was not so simple…

“Hehe, it is the same now. It’s not that I don’t know my own limit, nor am I pretending to be a noble and a good person. I just feel that I should pay some price for agreeing to Shu Tong and Liusu’s request so easily. We are deceiving an old woman who is going to leave this world soon, and it is very possible that she would leave the world with fake happiness. At that time, it would be too late for us to regret it.

“The only thing I can do now is to give some money to Father Shu so that he would not have to work so hard, and he would have more time to accompany his mother before she left this world. I am just making atonement for myself, Liusu, and Shu Tong. Thinking about it this way, I would feel slightly better. In the future, when Shu Tong finds out the truth and knows that her grandma is very happy in the last few days of her life, she will definitely feel better in her heart… This is my motive. It is selfish and self-deceiving. Thinking that money can solve everything, haha, I think I’ve also become depraved now.”

Yes, I just wanted to pay a little price for our lies. Such punishment would alleviate the guilt in our hearts… Yes, it was ‘we’, not ‘me’. But this was all I could do for Shu Tong…

Window No. 6 finally called my number.

“Withdrawal, fifty thousand.” I walked to the window and said.

Just when I passed the bank card to the female staff inside, a pair of white jade hands grabbed my hand and stopped me.

“Use this card,” Mo Fei grabbed the card in my hand and shoved it back into my jacket pocket. She said with a smile, “No matter what you said, you are still a stupid good guy. It is true that money cannot solve all the problems, but it is also true that money can help other people. What you are doing is a right thing, a noble thing, so don’t belittle yourself.”

I grabbed her wrist, frowned, and said, “What are you doing? Take your card back, how can I use your money?”

“My money?” Mo Fei deliberately showed a confused look and said, “This is your money.”

“What kind of nonsense is this…”

“Who said it is nonsense? Did you forget it? When you invested in Heng Xiang, you made a large amount of intermediary fees. Part of it was used to pay my mother’s gambling debts, and there is still 300,000 left.” At this point, Mo Fei couldn’t help but show a sad expression, “This money was originally yours, but because you got angry at me, you took the money to my house and wanted to break up with me. Thinking about it now, I still have the feeling of being insulted by you. It made me feel like I got close to you because of money.”

Hearing what Mo Fei said, I couldn’t help but blush. What she said was true. I was indeed very angry at that time, and it was also the reason why I took all the money to her house.
