The candlelight flickered, and the faces of a man and woman sitting at the dining table looked a little cloudy.
Seven or eight exquisite dishes were placed on the dining table, and a large box of cakes was placed on the coffee table in the living room.
"Lulu, I'm in a hurry this time, and I didn't even bother to prepare a decent birthday present for you. I'll make it up later! Come on, let's have toast and wish you a happy 26th birthday!"
Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, the man raised the wine glass, and the crimson red wine showed a coquettish brilliance under the candlelight.
"Thanks, dear......"
The woman hurriedly picked up the cup in front of her, looking at the man with complicated eyes. There is admiration, admiration, reluctance, and sadness from the bottom of my heart.
The man in front of him, Xiao Bai, was already middle-aged. He is not handsome in any way, but he has a heart-wrenching bearing and charm.
Seeing Ding Xiaolu's expression, Xiao Bai secretly sighed in his heart: There is really no impermeable wall in this world, it seems that rumors have been spread about his own affairs, and even she has heard something......
Thinking about Ding Xiaolu's years, it's not easy. The other party knew him at the age of 20, and six years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Many thoughts were fleeting, and the two goblets touched each other gently.
"Seeing that your complexion is not very good, are you too tired from work? If you want me to tell you, how about you just rest here with me for a few days to keep your spirits up?"
After a few glasses of red wine, two red clouds flew up on Ding Xiaolu's cheeks, which further reflected her beauty. At the age of twenty-six, like a peony flower that has fully bloomed, it is extremely beautiful.
At this moment, Xiao Bai really wanted to promise her to stay for two days...
But at that moment, Xiao Bai's cell phone on the table rang. He picked up the phone and glanced at it, and couldn't help frowning.
The call was from Shen Hong. He first glanced at Ding Xiaolu apologetically, but did not get up, then pressed the answer button.
"Xiao Bai, where have you been fooling around? At this time, your family and company can't find you everywhere. What do you want to do?"
As Xiao Bai's wife, Shen Hong rarely speaks to Xiao Bai in this tone.
The two of them are usually busy with each other, and she seldom inquires about Xiao Bai's private life, just like Xiao Bai doesn't care about her.
Xiao Bai was also not used to the current state of Shen Hong. He couldn't help but twist his body, and then said, "I'm out of town now, just tell me if you have anything."
"boom!"
There was a loud noise from the receiver, which startled Xiao Bai, as if Shen Hong had smashed something hard.
After a while, Shen Hong suppressed the anger in her heart, and her mood became much calmer: "The vice president Tang and the chief financial officer of the company headquarters have not shown up for two days, and they called home and said that they were on a business trip. Don't you know? I'm afraid something will happen..."
Xiao Bai was not at all surprised by what Shen Hong said.
At the age of sixteen, Xiao Bai was admitted to Yan University, the top university in China, as the top scholar in the local liberal arts. At the age of nineteen, he became the chairman of the student union of Yan University.

Although his appearance is not very outstanding and his family conditions are not good, many girls are still optimistic about his future potential. In the year of graduation, Shen Hong firmly occupied the position beside him and married him four years later.
At the same time, Xiao Bai founded his first enterprise - "New Era Computer Information Technology Co., Ltd.". The well-born Shen Hong is not only his right-hand man, but also provides a powerful help in resources, contacts, and especially the convenience of funds.
Xiao Bai really lived up to expectations. He led the company up and down, and in less than 20 years, he successfully established a huge "Empire of the Times".
In the most glorious time of the era, through mergers, acquisitions and investments, it successively participated in and controlled 17 commercial banks, 8 securities companies, 9 insurance companies, 4 trust companies, 3 fund companies, and 2 futures companies. The assets under his control are nearly 3 trillion yuan, and Xiao Bai's personal assets have reached 40 billion yuan.
But the rapid expansion and savage growth have left many hidden dangers in themselves. In the process of continuous acquisition and re-acquisition, the wealth of several commercial banks has gradually been emptied. In this, Shen Hong and the capital behind her played an important and fueling role.
However, Xiao Bai never hated Shen Hong. Although he and she had been in the same bed for a long time, the two finally achieved each other.
"Xiaohong, isn't it obvious, why do you deceive yourself? I told you a long time ago that being too greedy will eventually pay the price! Now, it's time to make it happen.
Listen to me, the matter is absolutely irreversible, you can stay and deal with the aftermath. Another point is that, as the company has reached this point, as the chairman of the company, I do have an inescapable responsibility.
I'm sure that the vice president Tang and the chief financial officer have already entered, and neither you nor I can escape. Remember, no matter what, you can push me as much as you can, I still have responsibility for this... So be it, take care! "
Xiao Bai didn't give Shen Hong a chance to speak at all. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
Then, in front of Ding Xiaolu, he turned off the phone, took out the phone card, and threw it into the red wine glass.
"Honey... Are you really in trouble?"
When Xiao Bai answered the phone before, Ding Xiaolu had been sitting quietly. At this point, she couldn't help her anxiety and asked a question.
Xiao Bai raised his head, smiled at the other party, waved his hand, and said, "Don't ask, I will handle my affairs myself. Come on, let's cut the cake now..."
early morning.
Xiao Bai got off the bed lightly, without disturbing Ding Xiaolu, who was sleeping, he went to the bathroom to wash briefly, then opened the door and walked out.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Ding Xiaolu sat up suddenly. She was actually pretending to be asleep just now, because she knew she couldn't keep this man.
After coming out of the bedroom, Ding Xiaolu turned on all the lights in the house, then sat on the sofa and covered her face with her hands and wept softly. She felt empty and heartbroken... She knew very well that at the moment the door rang, she had probably lost the very important man in her life.
After crying for a while, Ding Xiaolu raised her head and saw a small suitcase next to the sofa. There was a note on the box. She picked it up and saw that it read: Sorry, I didn't buy you a gift this time. Maybe it will cause you a little trouble. Let's live in another place recently.. In the box are some small things that I like very much, and now they are for you.
Ding Xiaolu hurriedly opened the suitcase, which contained several square ancient stones, more than a dozen fine jades from a long time ago, and some precious jewelry.
"Wuwuwu, people say that you are a big boss in the capital market, but when things come to an end, can't you save yourself?"
Closing the lid of the box, Ding Xiaolu couldn't help crying...
After coming out of Ding Xiaolu's residence, Xiao Bai drove an inconspicuous Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle and left Star City.
He had no specific destination, just all the way south.
Leaving the imperial capital this time, he had already prepared himself mentally... How glorious the previous era was, how miserable his future would be. While he was still free, he just wanted to take a look around and wait for that day to come.
At dawn, Xiao Bai drove off the expressway and continued along the national road. When the first ray of sunshine hit the earth in the morning, he just came to the foot of Nanshan Mountain.
At this time, Xu Wei's song was playing on the car stereo:
I used to dream of walking the world with a sword.
Look at the prosperity of the world
Young hearts are always frivolous.
Now you are home.
......
At this time, even Xiao Bai, who had been depressed for several days, couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Looking at the towering Nanshan Mountain in front of him and the winding mountain road like a ribbon on the mountain, he stepped on the accelerator heavily...
