Fog Bar, New York
A casually dressed man leaned back on a sofa, his handsome face visible in the dark light of the bar, his eyes lowered, and he drank one drink after another.
After a while, a man with a combed back came and sat beside him, scratched the bottle on the table with his fingers, and said helplessly: "How much have you drunk?"
David snorted and said, "I never get drunk."
With that, he sat up straight and poured a glass of wine for the man with the back, Alex. "You drink too."
Alex refused, "No, I'm trying to quit smoking and drinking, but your wife can let you drink like that?"
"I run the house now," David said. "She doesn't dare tell me off. I can drink as much as I want."
Alex said vaguely, "Really?"
David heard the doubt in his voice, a little irritated, and said, "Of course, I tell you, I used to be too lazy to care about her, she took matters into her own hands, and now that I'm serious, she knows I'm good."
Alex said: "Oh, now you are the master at home ah, this is hard to see, tomorrow we have to call some brothers out to celebrate."
And said: "Sam opened a club, inside the girl quality is very high, anyway, your wife can not control you, do you want to go together to have fun?"
David said, "Are you kidding me? I have a wife."
And he said bluntly, "Be careful of getting sick."
Alex smiled and said, "Several brothers check up every three and a half times, and no one gets sick, but you get married so early, don't you feel a pity?"
They are rich kids who love to have fun, but David is special. He got married at the age of 22 and has been married for five years now. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and everyone knows that his wife is from a very bad background and does not know what charm she has.
David listened to Alex's words, poured a few glasses of wine, began to be unable to hold the words, "There are some things I hold in the heart, I think you are a brother to tell you."
Alex listened, excited, leaned in, "You tell me."
David is a little drunk, his white cheeks are slightly red, his eyes are black, are almost 30 years old men, only David is still a taste of innocence, he whispered, "My father likes my wife."
Alex: "Huh? What do you mean?"
David said, "I married my wife because my father wanted me to. He said that if I didn't marry her, he would give my cousin all the company when he retired."
Alex was shocked. "Mat? No way."
Everyone knows that Mat that guy can't do things, especially can lose, if the company is handed over to him, it is estimated that it will be bankrupt in a few years.
David said, "Of course, after I married her, my dad let her work for the company."
Alex was suddenly surprised in his heart and had a very bad guess, "Your father is not just to give the company to your wife... ?"
David didn't say anything, and the more Alex thought about it, the more he thought it was possible, and he began cryptically, "Have you ever thought... Your wife's background, and your father's..."
David lowers his voice and whispers, "I stole my wife's hair and my dad's. They're not related."
Alex was relieved that David had also suspected, and he smiled: "It should be impossible, your father that person, it is impossible to do something wrong to you."
The two men looked at each other without a word.
David reached for the bottle and filled himself another large glass.
Alex said: "You drink less, and later drunk you want me to take you home, then you will see your wife's face."
David groans, "She dares. I'm the man of the house."
Alex said, "Yes, yes, yes, you are the head of the family."
David threw back his neck, drank half a glass of wine, and was silent again.
Alex looked at him and saw that his eyes were red and watery. He was startled. "David, are you crying?"
"I feel bad," David muttered.
Alex patted him on the shoulder. "If you really don't like your wife, just get a divorce."
David said, "I can't do that. My wife is now vice president, and the shareholders are going to fight if we get a divorce."
Alex is speechless, and this is the first time the future heir of the company has ever been involved.
David said, "She's actually much better than me."
And very depressed said: "Is too love tube me, do not let me smoke and drink, do not let me party, but also set up access control, let me go home at ten o 'clock!"
Alex nodded, he knew this, David's wife Nada, control is very strong, David is not free outside, even the party between friends, will call him, let him go home on time, and even when necessary, will personally come to pick up people.
Alex also knows that Nada doesn't like them, so Alex and David's other friends don't like Nada either.
That's how you hate each other.
David had just said that he was the head of the family and that Nada had no control over him, but now that he was drinking too much, he couldn't help but spill the dark secrets.
"Ten times a week to do love, can only be more than less, but also more than half an hour, otherwise let aunt make soup to anger me!"
"Pay card bank card, just give me 100 yuan a day!" One hundred dollars, what can I do? I'll give her a few hundred more if she's comfortable."
David said to the depths, his eyes are more wet, he wiped the corners of his eyes, wronged and said: "Seriously, sex service workers are more valuable than me, people each service is tens of thousands of it, I am cleaner than them, I do not know why she cares about me so much, my father gave me eight million a month pocket money, she confiscated all."
Alex was stunned and did not dare to continue listening, for fear of being killed by the sober David, he quickly interrupted him and said, "You have drunk too much, hey, give me your mobile phone, I will look for your wife's phone number and ask your wife to pick you up."
David said, "Don't call. She's on a business trip. How dare I go out drinking?"
Alex: "..."
... Who was that bragging about being the head of the family? Who was that?
Alex got up and grabbed his glass. "Stop drinking. I'm not taking you home if you're drunk."
David angrily said, "Do you look down on me? I said I'm not drunk!" I can go back by myself."
Alex: "..."
He sat down and thought about getting him a room later if he was drunk.
David continued, "If I had to do it all over again, I would never marry her! If my father really does not want to give me the family business, I let him recognize my wife as a daughter, I will be an extra sister, the group to my wife is better than to Mat."
Alex felt complicated and said, "You have a big heart."
Hundreds of billions of dollars worth of property for outsiders.
He also drank some wine, saw David for a long time did not say a word, turned to look, it turned out that he had fallen asleep on the table.
This day the sun is shining, the lawn mower is buzzing, I saw a tall thin girl, wearing a white T-shirt, skillfully handling the lawn mower, although it looks like she is mowing, but it seems to be doing a piece of art, so pleasing to the eye.
Her face is beautiful, white skin yellow blue eyes, the figure is about 165, not petite, but everywhere is full of elegance and refinement.
Her wrist is thin, but she can easily carry the lawn mower, open the long white fingers, as if you can still see the thick cocoon in her hand.
These were hands accustomed to farm work.
This is eighteen-year-old Nada.
She expertly carried the lawn mower, the grass flying, some broken grass or inevitable fall on her face, sweat crystal clear, but she did not feel hard.
She has been working all morning and finally wrapped up the day's work with a few finishing touches.
The elderly couple in the neighborhood still paid her 100 commission as usual, although it was not much, but it was enough for her to meet the food for several days.
By this time Nada was hungry.
Home food is she can not take casually, this time the home will not have her lunch, she went back to her room, took out a small sugar box, opened a look, inside the change is gone, this money must be that nasty cousin took away.
Not for the first time, Nada closed the box and put it back without changing her face.
She picked some up somewhere else and went out.
When she returns, Uncle Mason, aunt Asma, and cousin Tyler also return.
"Mom, the amusement park was fun. Take me there again," said Nada's cousin Tyler.
Uncle Asma said: "Go to fart, where the chicken wings are sold 50 yuan a pair, only you this black sheep want to eat, waste so much money!"
Tyler Punks, "It tastes different from ordinary, must have used good ingredients, otherwise it can sell so expensive?"
Asma said, "What difference can it make? Don't be mouthy."
Tyler stops talking. He sees Nada and says, "Nada, did you write my homework?"
Nada is used to calling him by his first name. Mason and Asma condone it, but she doesn't correct him. "No," she says.
Tyler jumped up, angry and anxious, "It's afternoon, and you still don't write to me!" If I can't pay it tomorrow, I'll ask Dad not to give you a living allowance! Let you drink the northwest wind!"
Nada looked at him. Mason hadn't given her a living allowance.
Mason, not embarrassed, said with a straight face, "What have you been doing all day? Go and do Tlyer's homework."
Nada said, "Is this his own business?"
Mason frowned and said, "Why do you talk, your cousin is much smarter than you, he is a man of great promise, you can compare with him?" Be self-aware."
Nada did not speak.
Asma hated the way she looked and said, "Finish Tyler's homework, we have to go out tonight, you can solve dinner yourself."
Then they went back to their room with Mason.
Tyler smirked at Nada. "This is my house. If you don't behave, I have a hundred ways to make you look good.
Tyler said that and entered the room.
Nada was alone in the living room. She looked around. There was no place for her in this home.
Her room was just a small room made out of stairs, and every time her cousin went up the stairs, he also hated the weighted steps.
Is this home? Nada thought to herself, no, it's not.
At the same time, David stepped barefoot on the family's tens of thousands of dollars a meter Persian carpet, and looked at his father Adolf with a strange expression on his obviously immature face.
Adolf saw how the son was not pleasing to the eye, there were guests, he was also embarrassed to kick him, he patiently opened his mouth: "Why, no shoes, no rules."
Then he turned to the guest and said, "The child's house is used to disorderly, I can't control it."
The guest smiled and said, "Adolf and his son have a good relationship."
Adolf said, "Where is it? The boy is very skinned and I have a headache too."
David stared at Adolf's thick hair and couldn't help but reach out and pull it.
Adolf said angrily, "What are you doing?"
David said, "Dad, you're not bald yet."
Adolf: "..."
Adolf said angrily, "Go and do your homework! Don't let me see you! "
David ran away as fast as he could, and Adolf coughed a few times and said, "This kid is always talking nonsense."
The guest could not help looking at Adolf's forehead for a few more times and smiled awkwardly but politely.
David ran back to his room and looked at the decorations in the room. He was sure that he had been born again. He had been born again ten years ago.
Even when he's drunk, David doesn't blacked out, so he remembers what he said to Alex.
He was so ashamed of this that he casually told the story about himself and Nada.
Fortunately, he was born again, and he didn't have to look at Alex's meaningful eyes.
David threw himself on the bed, so happy, he had ten years of free time, and freedom! He shook his fist and said with great ambition, "In this life, I will not marry Nada! I want freedom!!"
