After a few more days, Wang Congshan came to visit. Several carriages were packed to the brim, and as soon as he got off, he was shouting outside.
"Daoist, Little Daoist, I’m here to see you!" Wang Congshan shouted from outside the Daoist Temple.
"Who is it, what’s all the noise about?" Bai Huan came out.
Then the man and the demon stared at each other.
The air felt a bit stiff, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
"Ah, it’s you." Wang Congshan smiled sheepishly, "You’re following the Daoist now?"
"Yeah. The Daoist is a good person, he took me in. Why do you still smile so foolishly?" Bai Huan said bluntly.
"Hey, you talk like you’re so smart. We are both equally foolish, so let’s not mock each other." Wang Congshan replied with a cold laugh.
Suddenly, both the man and the demon fell silent, clearly both thinking about Luo Fu.
"She’s dead, isn’t she?" Bai Huan suddenly asked quietly.
"She’s dead." Wang Congshan’s voice lowered as well.
Both the man and the demon were silent again.
"I brought some good wine, come, sit and have a drink. Also brought some spiced beef, want some?" Wang Congshan said as he started walking towards the carriage to fetch the items.
"Drink, eat." Bai Huan followed behind, helping to carry the goods.
A while later, Wang Congshan and Bai Huan were sitting under the eaves, sitting directly on the ground, with a few bottles of wine and some pieces of spiced beef placed between them.
"She died, died right then, but before she died, she told me to run quickly, said my brother was going to kill me." Wang Congshan took a sip of wine and said slowly, "They say a person’s words are kind when they are about to die, so of course I believed her, that’s why I ran and found the Daoist, who saved me."
Bai Huan took a sip of wine, not saying anything.
"She might have regretted treating you that way when she was about to die." Wang Congshan rambled to himself, "But I think, even though she regretted treating us that way before she died, if she had the chance again, she would still deceive us. This woman, the most important thing in her eyes is still herself, and she’s vain. I think it’s normal for women to be vain, but to toy with others’ emotions to achieve her goals, that’s just not right."
Bai Huan sighed: "I really thought she loved me a lot." Bai Huan did not refute Wang Congshan’s words. He was indeed speaking the truth. If given another chance, that woman would probably still deceive him.
"I thought so too." Wang Congshan laughed at himself, "There’s one thing she said that’s very true, I am indeed a playboy, a good-for-nothing. Before, I always thought my brother held up the family, so I could just eat, drink, and have fun. Even if the family was divided, I’d ask for less. But in the end, I was too naive. He felt he was out working hard for the business while having to support a good-for-nothing like me, so he wouldn’t be content. But I didn’t expect that he would want to take my life and take the family fortune for himself. Yet he doesn’t realize, the whole family business was built by my dad and my mom, he just took over to continue. I have a share too."
Bai Huan said solemnly: "I do not understand the human obsession with wealth."
"That’s why you don’t understand Luo Fu and ended up being deceived." Wang Congshan cut in again.
"You talk like you understand, didn’t you get deceived too?" Bai Huan retorted.
The man and the demon remained silent, each touching their own hearts. Oh, it feels good to stab others, but it hurts like hell to be stabbed.
After a long time, both the man and the demon raised their bottles, clinked them together, and drank up.
When Yan Zhengya came out, he saw a man and a demon with their arms linked, drinking like brothers, completely drunk.
Hmm? Yan Zhengya looked up at the sky, the sun was rising normally, how had he witnessed such a bizarre scene?
Were former love rivals actually getting along so well?
