Downstairs of the Xiang government family courtyard, Ruan Tingting looked at Lu Tao with a pretty face and asked, "We have a doorman here, how did you come in?"

"I am willing to spend some time, can't I get in a door?" Lu Tao smiled helplessly.

"What's wrong with you looking for me?" Ruan Tingting asked indifferently.

"...Why do you have this attitude towards me?" Lu Tao asked softly.

Ruan Tingting stared at Lu Tao with big eyes and said without hesitation, "I can't accept you."

"Does my friends still care about this?" Lu Tao looked at Ruan Tingting with a normal expression. "Will this problem affect you?"

In a word, Ruan Tingting was speechless because it hit her heart. If she and Lu Tao were just ordinary friends, then what could the latter have this problem affect Ruan Tingting? Why should she be so excited?

After thinking about it carefully, Ruan Tingting suddenly realized that she cared a little about Lu Tao, or subconsciously... she was no longer treating him as an ordinary friend.

"Why are you blushing?" Lu Tao asked afterwards.

"Who is popular?" Ruan Tingting frowned and replied, "I have something to do, you go."

"... Let's have a meal with me, it won't take you long." Lu Tao looked at Ruan Tingting with his hands in his pockets, and said softly, "I'll send you back later."

Ruan Tingting was silent.

"Just one meal, can I still harm you?" Lu Tao smiled helplessly.

"Do you want to explain to me?" Ruan Tingting asked back.

"..." Lu Tao was stunned and scratched his nose "That's right!"

...

It was around 10 o'clock in the evening, in a restaurant.

Ruan Tingting sat opposite Lu Tao, without any intention of eating, and asked expressionlessly, "You explain."

"What do you want to hear?" Lu Tao reached out and took Ruan Tingting's Western cuisine plate and began to cut her steak.

"… Someone told me that you have been sucking for a long time."

"What Zhang Yongzuo told you?" Lu Tao asked with a smile.

"No, I accidentally saw those things in your drawer." Ruan Tingting replied with her shoulders.

"Yes, I'm a needle." Lu Tao paused and admitted calmly.

After hearing Lu Tao's confession, Ruan Tingting couldn't control her negative emotions and then she asked with a colder look, "Someone told me that you are a very good person, and ordinary people can't get into your heart at all. Even in order to gain a foothold in the company, you can sacrifice your friends around you..."

"Sacrifice is inaccurate." Lu Tao continued to cut the steak and responded softly, "but the previous few comments were basically nothing wrong. It is indeed difficult for anyone to get into my heart. I am also very utilitarian about my career, and there is nothing to justify it."

"Are you planning to explain to me with this attitude?" Ruan Tingting looked at Lu Tao with great disappointment, "...If this is the case, then I've misjudged the person."

Lu Tao pondered for a while, reached out and handed the cut steak to Ruan Tingting, then poured a glass of red wine himself, looked up at her and said, "I'll tell you two stories."

"…!" Ruan Tingting was silent.

"There is a man who is very lucky. In the first half of his life, he has the advantage of time, place and people. He comes from a political family, and his father is very powerful and prestigious in the province. This man has no worries about food and drink since he was born. After he grows up, he directly entered the system. What he has placed in front of him is a bright future of promotion and wealth that can be obtained easily. But what others don't know is that his personal life is not happy. His father and mother have been cold wars all year round and there is no relationship between husband and wife. From the time he was born, he has been thinking about the path he should take for life... For example, what university to go to, what major to study, who should get close to, who should keep a certain distance from, what age to get married, who should get married, who should get married, who should get married... He has no right to decide.

He is also empty in terms of emotions. He has never felt any fatherly love and motherly love since he was a child. He has seen all the utilitarian performances of pseudo-family affection in front of others. And because he is a civil servant, he cannot have edges or personality in normal times... he can only live like a machine. But if it were today, this man looked back and might understand that this might be the price he had to pay for since he was born... But when he was young, he didn't understand, he was restrained, and he also had a rebellious period... accidentally drank too much at a friend's party and became addicted to d...!" Lu Tao sat on the chair, his voice was full of magnetic and his voice was gentle, just like standing on the sidelines, telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

Ruan Tingting was so sensible that she heard it without saying a word.

"In the blink of an eye, the man's family changed. He was trapped in a trap and went to prison. His father, who has always been wise, took two quick steps to lose his son in old age, so he took two quick steps... and his political career was completely over... and was imprisoned by double regulations... This man reflected on his first half of his life in prison. He blamed himself and committed suicide three times, but none of them succeeded... His father finally exchanged political chips for the freedom of this man... But after he was released from prison, he found that his father had committed suicide in prison. His biological mother ran abroad with the money. He had no choice but to rely on his own and had no direction... and even his father's funeral could not be handled... and it was here

At that time, a friend he had not contacted and even looked down upon suddenly appeared... This friend was very nice to him, gave him money and helped him hold a funeral. When the man was coldest, he reached out and pulled him... He was very grateful, and at the same time he wanted to do a good job to comfort his father's spirit of heaven... So, he decided to take out the money he saved overseas at home and invest in a new industry... But before the matter could be done, the friend who helped him and gave him warmth cheated him of his last money... ran away...!" Lu Tao's voice was still soft at the moment, and his tone was narrating in a plain manner, but he himself didn't know that his face was covered with tears.

Ruan Tingting looked at Lu Tao, her big eyes filled with tears, and she was sad for this man who was extremely miserable in the story.

"If it were you, after experiencing so much, who would you believe? Who would you believe?" Lu Tao might have wanted to use his tragic story to move Ruan Tingting. But after he finished these experiences, he had no other purpose at this moment. He just asked in a low mood, "If it were you, after experiencing so much, would you still think about quitting your addiction? He was fucking disappointed with the whole world. Do you still care about when he would die?"

Ruan Tingting looked at Lu Tao in a daze, unable to help but grab his trembling palm. "I'm sorry, Lu Tao... I don't know... I really don't know, you have such an experience..."

...

A used car trading market in Xiang.

Da Cannon carried a little boss' collar and pulled him into the car, took out Bai Chengtie's photo and asked, "Do you know him?"

"Boss, I really don't recognize it." The little boss shook his head repeatedly.

"Fuck you think about it. This person bought a white Nissan van from you and spent 9,500 yuan." Xiaoji reminded him.

The little boss fell into deep thought when he heard the sound.
