Chapter 562 - 560: Old Zhu’s Loyalty
The water friends, after hearing Lu Heng’s account, were almost laughing themselves sick.
"I’m just saying, Old Zhu, how come you’re so unlucky?"
"Truly unlucky! First date with a girl, turns out to be HIV! Goes to a new bar to party, ends up getting bashed!"
"This kind of luck, seriously, nobody else could have it, right?"
"This is really like misfortune’s mother opening the door for misfortune—utterly miserable!"
"The old Taoist’s advice is wise, with your luck, better stay at home honestly."
"Why is it that every time Brother Zhu and Old Zhang go out, it’s always him who ends up unlucky?"
"That’s really odd! Clearly it’s Old Zhang who caught someone in the act, yet it’s Old Zhu who gets hurt."
"I calculated with my fingers, it’s all because Old Zhang jinxed him!"
"Old Zhu’s fate is too weak, I suggest keeping a distance from Old Zhang in the future!"
"I feel like Old Zhu is just too dumb, whatever others tell him to do, he does it."
"Brother Zhu has too few thoughts! Old Zhang tells him to get a room with a girl, he does it, tells him to fight, he goes and fights."
"Such a grown person, how can he not have a mind of his own?"
"Actually, about Xiaoli drinking with others, Old Zhu, you shouldn’t have told Old Zhang."
"I agree on this point! Old Zhu, you don’t even know what the situation is on Xiaoli’s side? What if it’s her brother or some relative? At worst, what if they’re discussing business, what would you do?"
"Exactly, if Xiaoli found a suitable excuse and brushed off Old Zhang, wouldn’t you end up the bad guy?"
"You could pretend not to know, take Old Zhang over, let him find out for himself, but don’t tell him directly."
"Everyone’s advice is quite pertinent! It’s a couple’s matter, they fight at the head of the bed, make up at the end, why are you getting involved? Unless you truly have feelings for your sister-in-law..."
Seeing these barrage of comments, Old Zhu felt a bit of unease in his heart.
But everyone made valid points.
Despite Old Zhang having a narrow mind and liking to seek revenge, he was genuinely good to him.
However, no matter how good Old Zhang’s relationship with him is, can it be better than with his own wife?
After marriage, a man’s mindset changes.
The former best brother is not as close as his own wife.
"Sigh!"
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
Lu Heng gently stroked his beard and continued unhurriedly: "This injury had you lying in the hospital for nearly two weeks."
"Old Zhang came to visit you twice during your hospital stay."
"But in the past week, he hasn’t come by again."
"After being discharged, you found that Old Zhang had deleted all your contact information."
"At that time, you were very puzzled; it was clearly you who got injured fighting for Old Zhang, so why did he delete you instead?"
"Days later, another friend of Old Zhang’s came to you, proactively inviting you to dinner."
"You accepted this friend’s invitation and learned from him what really happened."
"It turned out Old Zhang severed ties with you because of pressure from his wife Xiaoli."
"Although that brawl at the bar was due to Xiaoli, she quickly provided a reasonable explanation."
"On that night, Xiaoli was invited by a girlfriend to check out her newly opened bar."
"Before she left, she ran into a distant relative, that young man."
"They chatted about family matters for a bit, then you and Old Zhang came up with others."
"Unaware, that young man thought you guys were drunk and provoking them, so both sides ended up fighting."
"This explanation, along with the testimony of the bar’s female owner, convinced Old Zhang thoroughly."
"At the same time, he also relayed this side of the story to his wife Xiaoli."
"When Xiaoli heard you were the one who reported it, she asked Old Zhang to cut ties with you."
"Old Zhang was initially reluctant, but couldn’t resist Xiaoli’s threat using her unborn child, so he had to comply and deleted all your contact info..."
"This... I... for f**k’s sake!"
Old Zhu, after listening, wanted to speak several times but stopped.
In the end, he just gritted his teeth and cursed.
What Lu Heng described matched exactly with the speculations of the water friends.
The couple fights at the head of the bed and makes up at the end!
As long as things are spoken openly, there’s nothing to worry about.
For Old Zhang’s sake, he reported Xiaoli joking with the young man to Old Zhang.
He even got injured fighting for Old Zhang.
And what was the result?
The result was, Old Zhang didn’t appreciate it at all!
What Xiaoli said, true or not, was something, but as the husband, Old Zhang obviously believed her.
Eventually, it made him seem like some kind of troublemaker!
Who the hell could swallow such a grievance?
Seeing Old Zhu’s face turning from pale to blue and back, Lu Heng chuckled lightly and continued: "Don’t get angry, my young friend, I haven’t finished talking about your future experiences yet!"
"In the following month, you had no contact with Old Zhang at all."
"One day, you were sent on a business trip to a neighboring city by the company."
"You and your colleague on the trip checked into a three-star hotel."
"At night, after finishing your work, you returned to the hotel and saw two familiar figures."
"Those two figures were none other than Xiaoli and the young man who was joking with her that night at the bar."
"At that moment, the two were holding each other closely, being affectionate, anyone who saw them would think they were a couple, not some distant relatives."
"You immediately took out your phone and captured their intimate poses, then saw the two enter the hotel together, seemingly going to get a room."
"Looking at the video you had just captured, you hesitated, not knowing how to handle it."
"If it were before, you wouldn’t have hesitated at all and would have sent the video to Old Zhang immediately."
"But the lesson from the bar made you deeply understand that no matter how good your relationship with Old Zhang is, you’re ultimately an outsider."
"And as for Xiaoli, Old Zhang’s wife, even if she speaks a mix of truths and lies, Old Zhang still believes her completely."
"After contemplating for ten minutes, you decided to inform Old Zhang about Xiaoli’s situation."
"You borrowed a phone from your colleague and, after over a month, dialed Old Zhang’s number again."
"When the call connected, Old Zhang was surprised to hear from you."
"Without much elaboration, you truthfully informed Old Zhang of seeing Xiaoli entering the hotel with the young man."
"You also sent Old Zhang the video you had captured earlier..."
