Chapter 143: Human Heart Is Hard to Predict

146. Human heart is unpredictable

Tang Wen felt no guilt at all for putting Lu Mei in jail. Since Lu Mei started to cheat people, Tang Wen felt that even if she was imprisoned for life, it would not be excessive.

To be honest, Tang Wen could tolerate her saying that she had to cheat others because of life pressure. But if such a person cheated even her old classmates and ex-boyfriends, then she deserved it.

Of course, to put it bluntly, Tang Wen was narrow-minded. For a woman who wanted to cheat him, Tang Wen would never show mercy.

With the help of Tang Wen and Zhou Xu's lawyer team, the bar owner was sentenced to life imprisonment, Lu Mei was sentenced to sixteen years, and the others were sentenced to fifteen years.

This was because Zhou Xu showed mercy, otherwise the bar owner would be sentenced to death just because he dared to threaten and rob Tang Wen.

After all, Tang Wen is the boss of a "super large company", and intimidation and blackmail are not trivial matters. As for Lu Mei, she deserved it. She originally wanted to drag Zhang Biting to trick Tang Wen, but she didn't expect it to end up like this.

I heard that when her parents went to the detention center to see her, her father wanted to beat her to death. Lu Mei's family is from the countryside. With such a person in the family, her parents can't even think about raising their heads in front of their relatives.

The brothers who were originally preparing to take the exam for housekeepers at home were all rejected. Lu Mei's father was originally a carpenter. Because of such a mess, no one in the whole village dared to ask him to do carpentry work.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't go out, but bad news spreads a thousand miles. How can the father be good if his daughter is a liar? Tang Wen can only say that he deserved it. If Wang Ergou and Lu Mei hadn't had a confrontation in the previous life, Tang Wen might have been a fool at that time.

As the saying goes, there is reincarnation in heaven, and no one can be spared by heaven.

"Let's go, what are you still looking at?" Tang Wen hugged Zhang Biting's slender waist and smiled.

Zhang Biting didn't notice Tang Wen's hands were touching her waist, and she couldn't accept it. "How could Meimei be such a person? I always treated her as a friend."

"Oh? How did you meet?" Tang Wen asked curiously.

Zhang Biting said guiltily, "I met her when I was traveling."

After listening to Zhang Biting's words, Tang Wen suddenly realized. It turned out that Lu Mei, who worked as a host in bars and KTVs, traveled everywhere after making money, and she met Zhang Biting during this period.

During this period, she learned about Zhang Biting's situation indirectly, and wanted to pull Zhang Biting out to be a host. But there was no chance until Zhang Biting came to the toilet station to participate in a talent show in March this year.

So Lu Mei wanted to take Zhang Biting out to do a job first, and use the high income to tell Zhang Biting how profitable this industry is, but unfortunately she met Tang Wen.

Lu Mei thought Tang Wen was a good guy, who knew that Tang Wen was the one who helped her become a host.

"You're lucky. If she drags you down, you'll be the only one in jail from now on." Tang Wen said with a snicker.

"I'm very sad, okay?" Zhang Biting pouted and said dissatisfiedly. Suddenly, she found that Tang Wen's hand was still around her waist, and a hint of blush appeared on her face.

"Let's go, I'll take you to have a good meal." Tang Wen smiled.

"No way." Zhang Biting said proudly.

"Gurgle" But her stomach betrayed her.

Because of what happened just now, the two acted like boyfriend and girlfriend. Speaking of which, Tang Wen really has to thank Lu Mei. If it weren't for her, it would be difficult to get close to Zhang Biting.

After all, the bar owner and Lu Mei just gave Tang Wen a great assist. Zhang Biting, who had just arrived in Xiangfu County, could only trust Tang Wen at present.

Maybe it was because Tang Wen took the initiative to remind her not to eat, or maybe it was because Tang Wen hugged her and took the initiative to protect her. Anyway, she felt very safe with Tang Wen by her side at this moment.

"Can you eat spicy food?" Tang Wen turned to Zhang Biting and said.

"Yeah, sure." Zhang Biting nodded and replied.

"Okay, let's go eat lotus root soup."

Zhang Biting asked in confusion: "Isn't Huogong the most famous in Xiangfu County?"

"Haha, Huogong is a scam for outsiders like you. Locals never go to that kind of place. Come with me and I guarantee you will eat the most authentic snacks in Xiangfu County." Tang Wen said with a smile.

Then he pretended to casually pull Zhang Biting's slender little hand and walk towards the alley next to the pedestrian street.

The most authentic food in a city is always the inconspicuous street stalls. This is a truth that Tang Wen only understood after spending nearly 10 years in Xiangfu County in his previous life.

Like the Juventus in the future with more than a thousand people in line, or the Internet celebrity milk tea, they are all paying the so-called IQ tax. Why? Tang Wen really has a say in this.

What XX barbecue, XX Juventus, what XX stinky tofu, what XX milk tea. After Tang Wen graduated and became unemployed, he relied on queuing up in these stores to get food expenses.

The first type is that the group leader will give you a card, and you will be paid 5-10 yuan for each queue, and you can keep the food for yourself. If you don’t mind the trouble, you can queue up back and forth.

There is also the kind of queuing all day for 50-80 yuan a day. After paying the normal money and getting the food, you give the food to the group leader, and then the group leader will give you money to continue queuing.

At that time, Tang Wen’s favorite thing was the opening of a real estate project. The salary was 150 yuan a day, and he just pretended to walk around the project to look at houses.

There is also a buffet at noon, which is generally visited by middle-aged and elderly people. The most exaggerated one Tang Wen has seen is that 97 out of 100 people are like him, and only 3 people are really looking at the house. .

So to find the most authentic taste in a city, you still have to go to the alleys to find street stalls.

"Is it here?" Zhang Biting asked hesitantly, looking at a tattered cart with a few tents set up next to it.

"What's wrong? Do you think it's dirty?"

Zhang Biting shook her head and sat next to Tang Wen with doubts.

"Don't underestimate this place, this is a decades-old brand, even XX from the toilet counter often comes here." Tang Wen explained with a smile.

"Is it really so delicious?" Zhang Biting said suspiciously with a pair of big eyes.

"Hey, handsome guy is here again today, and he brought his girlfriend today, the same as always?" The proprietress greeted Tang Wen enthusiastically when she saw him.

"Well, give her a lotus root soup as usual." Tang Wen nodded. Recently, whenever Tang Wen went out for a walk, he had to come here for a midnight snack before going back.

"Okay, one serving of egg fried rice only needs green onions and eggs, one serving of edamame, one serving of bean curd, potato and dried tofu, one serving of pork belly, ear and head, one serving of crispy duck intestines, and one serving of braised beef." The proprietress shouted to the busy boss.

"Okay, slightly spicy, right?"

"Yes, slightly spicy is fine." Tang Wen replied.

After a while, the proprietress came over with something hot.

"Handsome guy, your lotus root soup, hot braised."

"Thank you, let's try it." Tang Wen handed the lotus root soup to Zhang Biting and said.

Zhang Biting frowned and took a small sip and was surprised: "It tastes good."

"Of course, their lotus root soup has been sold for 40 years. Before, their father was selling it, and now it has been replaced by the couple, and the taste is still the same as before." An old man next to him smiled.

"Wow, it's delicious. Woohoo, hot, hot." Zhang Biting greedily drank a big mouthful and quickly fanned her tongue with her hands.

"Here, Xiangfu Old Soda." Tang Wen took out a bottle of soda from the freezer next to him and put a straw in it and handed it over.

"Thank you, wow, it's delicious." Zhang Biting took it and took a big mouthful of soda and said.

After the rest of the food was served, Zhang Biting started to eat with Tang Wen without caring about her ladylike image.

"This egg fried rice is delicious, I have never eaten such a thing." Zhang Biting scooped a spoonful of egg fried rice with a spoon and put it in her mouth and said.

"I told you I won't lie to you." Tang Wen smiled.

"But I will gain weight." Zhang Biting pouted and said unhappily.

"Then don't eat it." Tang Wen reached out to take the plate.

"Just a little bit, just a little bit." Zhang Biting said pitifully.

Women's mouths are deceiving. After Zhang Biting and Tang Wen finished all the food on the table, Zhang Biting touched her bulging belly and said with satisfaction: "I'm full."

"Let's go, I'll take you home." Tang Wen said with a smile.

"Yeah." Zhang Biting nodded obediently, and then followed Tang Wen. There were many pits in the alley, and Zhang Biting fell forward without paying attention.

Tang Wen quickly hugged her.

"There are many pits here, don't walk around." After saying that, Tang Wen hugged Zhang Biting's waist again.

Although a little shy, Zhang Biting did not resist. Perhaps the scene in the bar today made her trust Tang Wen burst.

Holding Zhang Biting to the place where she parked, Zhang Biting opened her mouth and said in disbelief: "Is this your car?"

"Hmm?" Tang Wen opened the door of the co-pilot and answered.

"Oh oh." Zhang Biting didn't ask any more questions and sat in the co-pilot obediently.

"Where do you live?" After Tang Wen sat down, he helped Zhang Biting fasten her seat belt.

"A hotel-style apartment near the toilet station." Zhang Biting said shyly. Tang Wen was very considerate when he helped her fasten her seat belt just now, which made her feel like her heart was beating fast.

"Oh, it's OK. It's quite close to where the toilet station is recording the program." Tang Wen nodded, then started the car and drove towards where she lived.

Although the two met for the first time today, Zhang Biting felt very relieved when Tang Wen was around.

After arriving at the hotel where Zhang Biting lived without saying a word, Tang Wen exchanged mobile phones with her and agreed to hang out together when they were free, and then left first.

Although Tang Wen wanted to go to third base, it was a bit difficult today. Zhang Biting had a roommate, and she had to participate in the audition tomorrow, so he let her go first.

Driving towards the school, Tang Wen suddenly had an idea and drove towards the branch.

"Little S, did you eat candy today?" Tang Wen took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Zhang Lu.

"Relatives are coming. He also sent a crying emoji." Zhang Lu replied.

Tang Wen had to give up, and suddenly he saw Wang Rong's MQ was still on.

"Are you free?" Tang Wen asked through MQ.

"The child just fell asleep, what's wrong?" Wang Rong replied after a while.

"I'm downstairs from you, let's go to the river to see the scenery together." Tang Wen said with a sly smile.

After a few minutes, Tang Wen was about to give up, and Wang Rong replied belatedly: "Then you should be faster this time."

"I promise." Tang Wen said excitedly.
