Chapter 11
Sun Lihui's parents were businessmen. He had been very rich ever since he was a child. After graduating from college, his parents transferred a set of houses to Sun Lihui's name. The house was very close to Sun Lihui's company and hence convenient.
His house had three bedrooms, one living room, and three bathrooms, with luxurious decor.
Because he was single, he lived alone.
On weekdays, Sun Lihui slept in the bedroom on the first floor, leaving the two large bedrooms on the second floor vacant. Sun Lihui rarely went to the second floor.
Therefore, Sun Lihui suggested that if Gao Qi and Ding Anming could not find a suitable house, they might as well move to his house.
In this way, the two can live in the city center, work conveniently, and live in a better environment.
The two could live in the bedroom upstairs, and Sun Lihui, downstairs. They were friends, it wasn't inconvenient.
Sun Lihui gave a friends.h.i.+p price of 3,000 yuan a month.
This was a remarkably good deal that you couldn't find even with a lantern.
Not to mention that the neighborhood where Sun Lihui lived, the rental prices of such homes were above 28,000.
For 3,000 yuan in this area of Jicheng, one could only rent a small bedroom in an old quarter, about fifteen square meters.
But the bedroom that Sun Lihui rented to the two of them was a large bedroom, with a s.p.a.cious bathroom, a cloakroom, and a better environment than many five-star hotel suites.
Ding Anming accepted Sun Lihui's proposal with grat.i.tude but felt that the rent of 3,000 yuan was too cheap. He did not want Sun Lihui to lose money. The two bargained for a long time and finally settled for 5,000 yuan a month.
After moving to Sun Lihui's house, Gao Qi and Ding Anming's life became even sweeter and comfortable.
Although Sun Lihui never cooked at home, all kinds of cooking utensils were available there. Gao Qi's sales work was very easy, and her working hours were flexible. She often cooked for them.
Her meals were delicious. Sun Lihui often joined them to enjoy the mouthfeel of her dishes, and he started to order some fresh game or seafood to take home.
With precious ingredients and Gao Qi's craftsmans.h.i.+p, both Ding Anming and Sun Lihui's stomach was satisfied.
Sometimes on weekends, the three would no longer be willing to go outside to eat out. They would call Fan Hongshuang to eat at home, and then the four would play cards at home for a day, or watch a movie.
Occasionally Fan Hongshuang also came to live with her cousin. The four young people watched movies and played games together.
At that time, Fan Hongshuang always thought that after she and her cousin each found their soul mate, it would be more lively to eat with six people. After many years, everyone would give birth to their babies. They would all play with one another, like a tightly-knit family.
But fate loved to shatter beautiful things.
When Gao Qi and Ding Anming had moved to Sun Lihui's house for almost a year, Ding Anming's work suddenly became hectic.
It was said that under the strong recommendation
In order to get a promotion and raise his salary, Ding Anming began to lead the team. After work, he often had to accompany customers to socialize, and sometimes he had to travel on weekends to check the progress of the project.
Ding Anming took such a large project for the first time. It can be said that he had no experience. Fortunately, Sun Lihui not only has a higher rank than Ding Anming but also had rich experience in doing similar large projects. Therefore, he helped Ding Anming by giving him pointers.
In order to thank Sun Lihui for helping her boyfriend, even if Ding Anming didn't eat at home, Gao Qi would take the initiative to cook and eat with Sun Lihui.
They were good friends, and Ding Anming had no objection to Gao Qi cooking for Sun Lihui.
When Ding Anming traveled on weekends, the four could not meet up like before.
As the project continued to progress, Ding Anming was seen even less frequently.
In the beginning, Fan Hongshuang suggested that it would be better for the three to go out for dinner together, but Gao Qi said that her boyfriend was not there, and so she didn't have much interest.
Sun Lihui secretly blamed Fan Hongshuang for being so naive. Ding Anming was away on a business trip on the weekend. After all, he was a busy man. Shopping with Gao Qi was not suitable. Even as friends, he didn't want to cross the line.
Fan Hongshuang thought that what her cousin said made sense.
They no longer went out to play, but only occasionally asked Gao Qi to go shopping together.
After working hard for half a year, Ding Anming's project finally came to an end. Because of the great hard work and hard work, everything went smoothly. It can even be said in advance that the project was successfully completed.
The company has also reached its annual promotion time.
Ding Anming was full of confidence, determined to win.
At the moment when the employees were promoted, Ding Anming was outvoted by a big mouth.
The person promoted to a supervisor was not him, but a confidant of Sun Lihui.
He had been suffering for more than half a year, and now the project that was about to be completed was actually handed over to another supervisor.
After more than half a year's hard work, he not only failed to be promoted but even the project that was about to be successfully completed was taken away from him.
No one else but Sun Lihui could do this.
Ding Anming was so angry that he pushed open the door of Sun Lihui's office, wanting to confirm his doubts, but found that he was not in the office.
Looking around the company, he couldn't find Sun Lihui.
He must have known that the promotion announcement would be posted today, so he hid with a guilty conscience!
Ding Anming got even angrier. Although it was still the morning, he didn't feel like going to work. He was too enraged to ask for a day off and left the company directly. He planned to wait for Sun Lihui at home and ask him for an explanation.
The moment he got home and opened the door, Ding Anming heard an extremely familiar shriek from the second floor.
It was also mixed with a man's l.u.s.t-filled teasing words.
Anming's blood boiled instantly.
Smash his rice bowl and f.u.c.k his woman?!
Ding Anming took a deep breath, went to the kitchen, took a sharp knife, and walked silently to the second floor.
Perhaps it was because they thought that no one would come in at this time, the bedroom door was not closed at all.
Ding Anming strode forward and raised his sharp knife.
Sun Lihui turned his head in confusion when he heard the heavy footsteps. Before he could realize what had happened, his naked chest had been pierced with a sharp knife, blood spurting out uncontrollably.
Pull back.
Stab.
Pull back.
Stab.
Ding Anming repeated this action of his, a calm but crazed look in his eyes.
Gao Qi quickly fled into the bathroom. She locked the door and called the police.
When the police arrived, Sun Lihui had been stabbed more than two hundred times all over his body. His chest and abdomen were like putty, skin and blood mixed together, forming a gory scene. He had already taken his last breath.
Ding Anming was still stabbing with the knife.
His fingers were holding the knife extremely tightly. In order to retrieve the knife from Ding Anming's hands, the police almost had to chop his fingers.
Ding Anming was without a doubt sentenced to death.
Fan Hongshuang blamed herself.
If Ding Anming was on a business trip, she should have kept an eye on Gao Qi.
If Gao Qi and her cousin had cheated, she should have detected it earlier.
If she hadn't introduced Gao Qi to Ding Anming at all, would this have happened?
'Cousin and Ding Anming, are you doing well now?'
Before Ding Anming's execution, Fan Hongshuang went to see him.
Ding Anming's eyes were like stagnant water, clear and unmoving, watching Fan Hongshuang silently.
She heard that Ding Anming had never said a word ever since he was arrested.
After the murder, Gao Qi quit her job and shunned Fan Hongshuang.
Fan Hongshuang tried every means to talk to Gao Qi but then she saw her pictures of eating and shopping with new friends.
In every photo, Gao Qi smiled sweetly.
Almost as if everything that happened before was just a dream that Fan Hongshuang had.
{T/N: WTH!!! What is this?? A murder? *le gasp*
Haha, just kidding, I already knew this was gonna happen:3
