Short story｜You bully me into being affectionate, but I will return your ruthlessness

You deceive me into being affectionate, and I will return your ruthlessness. True love cannot be betrayed.

01

It is the coldest month of winter and the wind is biting outside the window. It seems that the predicted heavy snow is not far away. Meiling wrapped the quilt tightly around herself, as if this could resist the cold and drive away the coldness in the whole room.

Yu Ming has not been home for three whole days. His workplace is a ten-minute walk from home, and at work in their unit, he basically reads newspapers and drinks tea. In the past, Yu Ming would finish breakfast, laugh at those who were running in a hurry, and walk slowly to work.

After all, the unit has never required a clock in. If you have something to say, you can even ask for leave. The salary is paid on time and on time every month, but it is pitiful.

A year ago, Yu Ming was a good man who came home on time after get off work. Ever since the appearance of a woman, Yu Ming felt as if his soul had been seduced away. He would either come home late or stay out all night.

Thinking of this, Mei Ling grabbed the quilt with both hands, as if the quilt was the vixen woman, and she wanted to tear her to pieces with all her strength.

The clock in the living room was ticking, but Mei Ling was sleeping more and more awake. She had exhausted all her strength, but she could not save her broken marriage. The tears fell silently, and only I knew they were salty.

Suddenly the phone rang, and when I glanced at it, it showed that the call was from Yu Ming. Meiling thought to herself, this heartless guy still knows how to make phone calls, I must scold him.

"You are Yu Ming's wife, right?" came the voice of a strange man on the phone.

Meiling didn't want to admit it at first, but legally they were still husband and wife, so she had to respond softly.

"I have Yu Ming in my hands. I will redeem him with 300,000 yuan at ten o'clock tomorrow night, otherwise I will wait to collect his body." As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was hung up.

Meiling was stunned for a moment, her mind was in a mess and she couldn't distinguish the situation. After a moment, she realized that she was kidnapped and the kidnappers asked her for a ransom. But wasn't he at work? How could he be kidnapped?

She looked at her phone and it was already one o'clock in the morning. It seemed that sleeping tonight was impossible.

"Since they are kidnappers, what they want is money. As long as the money is given to them, everything will be fine." She thought to herself. So she quickly got up, picked up a pen and paper and started to total up the family's savings. They had been married for five years, but she was basically responsible for the family's expenses. Yu Ming has an easy job but earns very little. At first, he honestly handed over all his salary, but in the past two years, he has always used various excuses to shirk it, and he rarely takes money home.

Looking at the deposits, Mei Ling frowned. All the deposits were less than 200,000, so what should I do if there was still a shortfall of 100,000?

Although Yu Ming betrayed their love and marriage, the husband and wife were grateful for a hundred days, and she couldn't just ignore them when life and death were in danger. In this way, she sat on the sofa around the quilt until the sun slowly rose from the sky.

In the early morning, she fell asleep. In the dream, Yu Ming still looked like when he chased her, wearing a white shirt, black suit pants, and a tie. He walked towards her with red roses in his hand, his face full of love.

This was a dream, but it was not a dream, because this was the scene where Yu Ming proposed to her.

At that time, he also read a poem affectionately: The mountains have no mausoleums, the rivers are exhausted, winter thunder bursts, summer rain and snow, heaven and earth are united, so I dare to be with you.

It’s a pity that the vows are still there, but the love is nowhere to be found.

Just as she was immersed in a sweet dream, there was a knock on the door, and the sound seemed anxious. Without thinking too much, she opened the door.

Wu Hai hurriedly walked into the house, and before he could sit down, he asked anxiously if Yu Ming was at home.

Wu Hai and Yu Ming are good friends who talk about everything. They used to hang out and chat together on weekends. Meiling is naturally very familiar with Wu Hai.

Mei Ling was ecstatic about Wu Hai's arrival and seemed to see hope of saving Yu Ming.

"He's not at home." Mei Ling said these words tremblingly.

Wu Hai opened his mouth, but did not say a word. It was obvious that he had something to hide.

"What do you want from him? Have you been in contact recently?" Meiling had no choice but to ask.

Meiling's sorrow was written all over her face. Wu Hai also expected that Meiling might have known about Yu Ming's matter. As a good friend, he had tried to persuade Yu Ming more than once, but in the end it didn't help.

"After Yu Ming sent a photo yesterday, I couldn't contact him anymore, so I wanted to come over today and ask him what happened?" Wu Hai stated his intention.

"When did he send you the photo? Please let me see it." Meiling was very anxious and determined.

Wu Hai had no choice but to take out the photo and show it to him. The girl in the photo was the Xiaohui Yu Ming mentioned. She was in her twenties and looked very pretty.

Yu Ming hugged the girl tightly, and the two were like a sweet couple. The words "Yuexin Hotel" can be vaguely seen in the background behind.

Not wanting to talk to Wu Hai anymore, Mei Ling immediately turned on her phone to search.

Yuexin Hotel is located on the bank of Xiyue Lake in the south of the city. It is the latest resort hotel developed with a romantic style. It is the best place for sweet couples or newlyweds to spend their honeymoon.

Upon seeing this, Mei Ling immediately closed the page and fell into deep thought. It turned out that he had gone there on a date with that woman three days ago, and she was still at home waiting for him to come back.

Wu Hai was still explaining to Yu Ming, but Meiling didn't listen to a word. Her mind was in chaos, and a terrible thought quietly arose in her heart.

"If I don't take the money to save him, then he..."

Seeing Mei Ling's silence, Wu Hai had to get up and leave. The moment he turned around, Mei Ling finally relented. She told him about the phone call yesterday.

"Yu Ming was kidnapped. Who could have done this? We have to rescue him." Wu Hai was obviously surprised. After all, Yu Ming was just an ordinary person. Why would the kidnappers target him? .

The kidnapper’s target is actually Xiaohui, a beautiful young girl carrying a limited edition LV bag and wearing a brand-name suit.

That night, the two of them were dating in the woods by the lake. Just as their love was getting stronger, five or six masked men in black suddenly ran out and surrounded them. Made the call.

Although she was heartbroken, Mei Ling still called her parents and lied to them that she wanted to make some investments and asked them to borrow 100,000 yuan. She is the only daughter of her parents. She has been regarded as a treasure since she was a child. As long as she opens her mouth, her parents will do nothing wrong.

She quickly received the transfer text message and burst into tears looking at the message. Perhaps, this was a love debt she owed in her previous life, and she just had to pay it off at once. She vowed to leave this man.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the kidnapper finally called. She turned on the phone hands-free with trembling hands, and the kidnapper told her the place where she agreed to give the money.

"I have prepared the money, and now I want to confirm whether Yu Ming is okay." This was an idea given to him by Wu Hai, who seemed to be more calm and collected at critical moments.

"Honey, I was wrong, I'm sorry for you. I beg you, please save us. I will never betray you again. You also saved Xiaohui and did not contact her family. Something will happen to her if she can't get the ransom." This was the man for whom Mei Ling was worried and sad, and he actually offered to let her save her lover.

"If you want to save that woman, bring me another 100,000 yuan. I also warn you, if you dare to call the police, your vote will be canceled immediately." After saying this, the call was immediately hung up.

Mei Ling sat motionless on the sofa, heartbroken, and Wu Hai opened his mouth not knowing what to say.

Looking at the three hundred thousand prepared in front of me, my mind kept thinking about the scene where Yu Ming and Xiao Hui were together. Thinking of this, Mei Ling took out her mobile phone and dialed the alarm number.
