    ?

    When the two walked out of the theater, the street was brightly lit and bustling, and the lively night scene of the magic city began to show off its charm again and again.

    "Let's go to that themed restaurant, it's delicious." Xiao Bei pointed to the retro building not far away.

    This is a restaurant built along the river, and outside the window is the famous Chinese financial center - Lujiazui, where skyscrapers surround the Oriental Pearl Tower like stars and moons, with extraordinary style.  The decoration of the restaurant is also very particular, with strings of bright red lanterns hanging on the roof, majestic calligraphy on the walls, distant and fresh paintings Even the tables, chairs and tableware are imitated in the style of the Song Dynasty, full of ancient romantic atmosphere.

    On the counter table by the window of the restaurant, a beautiful long-haired woman in white Hanfu sat gracefully. After she smiled at everyone, she gently moved the exquisite guzheng in front of her with both slender hands, and a beautiful piece of music followed.  It flowed out from the fingertips.  At this moment, the customers were completely relaxed, and they were intoxicated in this wonderful tune while enjoying the delicious food quietly.

    "It is estimated that the boss here is a very sentimental person, because ordinary restaurants will deliberately play those explosive music to create a noisy and impetuous environment, so that customers will not have much good mood to linger, and leave after eating, so as to impress the people who come later.  Give up the position, but this boss doesn't seem to care about it, on the most expensive land in the country, he made such a naive and willful move, which is against the rules of business, and he will miss the money!" Li Shaohui said  Enjoy the food while giving heartfelt compliments to the owner here.

    And this kind of atmosphere naturally touched Xiao Bei, she stopped making noise and sat there quietly thinking.

    After a long time, Xiao Bei sighed and said, "Shaohui, do you want to hear a story?"

    Li Shaohui looked at Xiao Bei's uncharacteristic behavior, thinking to himself that what she will tell next must be about her past.

    Xiao Bei was born in a small county in Changchun City in Northeast China. When she was young, Northeast China was still the country's heavy industry base. Her parents were full-time employees of state-owned enterprises.  She is also richer, but her father has a bad temper and often quarreled with her mother over trivial matters, but in general, her childhood was relatively happy and worth remembering.

    It's just that during the period of reform and opening up, the company where her parents belonged to closed down due to poor returns.  This put Xiao Bei's well-to-do family in an embarrassing situation. Later, Xiao Bei's mother had no choice but to set up a street food stall with her neighbors, but this kind of business that depended on the sky could barely make ends meet.

    Xiao Bei's father is an incomprehensible person. When he first lost his job, he complained cursingly about the incompetence of the company and the injustice of the society. But after a few months, the family who was about to get rid of the blame had to look for a job, but he was used to working in a state-owned enterprise.  How can I bear the hard work of working part-time without the comfortable days of reading newspapers and drinking tea?  Moreover, he has no ability, so he wandered outside for a few months, but couldn't find a decent job, which made him very annoyed, so he just lay at home drinking and drinking, sometimes unhappy, and even shamed  Fist against Xiao Bei's mother and daughter.

    ? If there is nothing to do, there will be trouble. Later, Xiao Bei's father, under the seduction of his friends, learned to eat, drink, whore and gamble.  Once he ran out of money, he would ask Xiao Bei's mother for it, but whenever Xiao Bei's mother hesitated, his fists would rain down.

    If the family really can't afford the money, Xiao Bei's father will also do the prodigal thing of pawning the family property, so Xiao Bei, who is eleven or twelve years old, looks at the things in the house one by one every time after his father finishes his fury.  As the number became less, I could only hug my mother and cry bitterly.

    The days are getting poorer and poorer day by day, and Xiao Bei's mother is also getting more and more haggard. Before the age of forty, she is wrinkled and has gray hair.  Finally, when Xiao Bei was in the second year of junior high school, the family couldn't get rid of the blame, and Xiao Bei could only drop out of school with resentment.

    Xiao Bei, who didn't go to school, suddenly lost her direction and became idle. She originally wanted to do odd jobs to improve her life and share her mother's worries, but because of her beautiful appearance, she would be bullied and bullied by those bosses every time.  So her original intention was broken by the cruel society again and again, and she was seduced by a gangster in disappointment, and at the age of 14, she casually confessed her beautiful body.

    She said that that night, in fact, she also hesitated, refused, and resisted, but under the offensive of the sweet talk of that little gangster and first love, she was finally defeated and obeyed him half-heartedly.

    Afterwards, that gangster led her and a few like-minded younger brothers to start a business of collecting protection fees when gangs and gangs were still popular on campus at that time.

    Ascension is a long and persistent process, but depravity is just an instant, ?p; "Get out, you lead that bitch to get out, the farther the better." Xiao Bei pushed the woman to the ground and looked at her father coldly. The father and daughter had been fighting against each other for so many years, and each other had long known each other.  There is no affection at all.

    "Damn it, are you still upside down?" Xiao Bei's father said, and slapped Xiao Bei.

    Xiao Bei's face was in hot pain, this is the first time, but this time, she was not angry, the corner of her mouth was pulled hard, and she laughed, she turned around and took out a fruit knife in the back room  , under her father's terrified eyes, stabbed his thigh once, twice, three times

    "Ah! Murder, murder." The moment Xiao Bei's father fainted, the woman lying on the ground screamed and ran out.

    "Bei'er! You¡ªyou¡ªhow could you do this? He's your father!" Xiao Bei's mother frantically bandaged Xiao Bei's father while complaining fearfully.

    "Mom, why are you still protecting him? It's not like you don't know how this old bastard has bullied our mother and mother these past few years. You can beat and scold as you want He deserved what he got to this point." Xiao  Although Bei was also very scared at the time, she no longer softened her heart when she thought of what her father had done these years.

    Later, Xiao Bei persuaded her mother: "Mom, why don't you come with me, and we escape to a strange place together, where we depend on each other and live a new life."

    However, Xiao Bei's mother is a traditional woman with a deep-rooted traditional idea of ??marrying a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog. She believes that misfortune in marriage is fate and cannot be escaped.

    Therefore, Xiao Bei had no choice but to escape from her hometown alone and came to the bustling magic city. After being introduced by a fellow villager, she became a princess in the paradise on earth and started a new life.

    "Do you know? In the short two years since I came to Shanghai, I have already made five boyfriends, not to mention those whores. They buy bags, clothes and rent a house for me, and meet all my needs, but I am not happy as long as I am old.  I will still kick them away." Xiao Bei said this with a bit of shameless pride.

    Li Shaohui felt both sympathy and disgust. There must be something hateful about poor people. He sighed and persuaded: "The past is over, and the most important thing is to live in the present. You should eat first, and don't eat anymore."  Thinking about those unhappy things.¡± (Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
