Chapter 164 Meeting
The place where Lu Peishan asked Lu Yuan to meet was a bar, near the cosmetics company they and Pan Dahai jointly opened.
This is a newly opened Qinghai.
Lu Peishan has been enjoying coming here to pass the time recently. The soft lights, soothing music, and a drink can make people temporarily forget the troubles of the day.
In the booth.
Lu Yuan looked at Lu Peishan in front of him, and changed a lot and almost couldn't recognize her.
The ponytail she had been tied with had been cut off. Her short hair, her slightly curly bangs, had her girlish temperament removed and she became much more mature and charming. Although her face with light makeup looked particularly delicate, Lu Yuan still saw haggardness and a touch of unconcealable sorrow from her slightly frowning brows.
After Lu Yuan sat down, he ordered a glass of beer with the waiter.
Before he came, Lu Peishan had ordered a cocktail for him, but he was not used to the taste of cocktails. They looked like wine but not like wine, so he still liked to drink beer.
"Sister Shan, are you changing a lot?" Lu Yuan took off his bulky down jacket and put it aside.
"Which aspect has changed a lot?" Lu Peishan slightly stirred the straw in the cocktail twice.
"Haha, all." Lu Yuan glanced at the cocktail in front of her, then looked at her now completely refreshed appearance, and said in a pun.
Lu Peishan smiled, understood what he meant, and said, "People always grow and always make changes inadvertently. I remember this sentence, you often talk about it."
"Well……"
Lu Yuan nodded. This sentence was indeed a sentence he often said.
"Do you have something to tell me?" Lu Peishan suddenly asked.
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment and said strangely: "Sister, you asked me to come out. Shouldn't you have something to tell me?"
"Gee...Pret, you keep pretending."
Lu Peishan smiled softly and said, "After listening to my affairs, I don't want to talk to me? This is not your usual style. Unless you have not always regarded me as a friend!"
"This..." Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and caught him off guard again.
Lu Peishan continued: "Okay, don't pretend to be ignorant. I don't believe it for so long. Mao Daqing and Pan Dahai, the two big mouths, have never told you about me, and this is not their style."
"All right……"
Since that was the case, Lu Yuan simply admitted generously: "I heard them talk about you. As a friend, I have always wanted to talk to you, but there was some small problem at home before the New Year, and then it was the Spring Festival, so I delayed this matter. Actually, if you call me today, I will call you to meet you in two days. Sister Shan, can you tell me why this is?"
"You want to ask me why I fell in love with Kang Cheng, a married man?" Lu Peishan asked.
Lu Yuan whispered lightly.
At this time, the waiter brought the beer over.
Seeing this, Lu Peishan picked up the cocktail glass and said, "Come on, touch one first."
Lu Yuan picked up the beer and kowtowed her gently.
Lu Peishan took a few sips, suddenly let out a light breath, smiled bitterly, and said, "Believe it or not, I don't know what I like him, and even said, I don't know whether I like him or not?"
"Hmm? Sister, you're a little bit irritating!"
Lu Yuan was confused and said, "You don't like him, are you with him? And he is also a married man! Putting aside love and love, just to be honest, you know that he is a married man, and you can't stand it even if you say that you can destroy the world. Destroy other people's families and be a child..."
Lu Yuan said angrily, but suddenly he wanted to speak but stopped.
Because if he continues, he is afraid of hurting Lu Peishan. After all, even if he makes mistakes, she is still his friend of Lu Yuan.
"Why did you stop? Afraid of hurting me? I know what you want to say. What a shame it is to destroy other people's family and be a mistress who can't stand the sun!" Lu Peishan took what Lu Yuan didn't finish, taking care of himself.
Lu Yuan saw that she said this himself, so he let go and asked, "Since you understand this truth, why do you still jump into the stinky water in this pond?"
"I'll tell you something, our family's affairs."
Lu Peishan said, raised her hand to call the waiter, ordered another margarita, and then continued, "Since I paid off the last debt for our family, my father has also returned from another place. The family of people separated for so many years and reunited again, Lu Yuan, do you know how happy I am? Do you know? The moment my father came home and entered the door, the stone that had been pressed on my chest for many years fell to the ground in an instant. Do you know? I can clearly feel that my breathing is more comfortable than before, and I even sleep is sweeter than before. I like this feeling, and I long for this happiness!"
Lu Yuan listened quietly to her telling that he was the best among all his friends to understand Lu Peishan’s hardships and difficulties, and also to understand that the happiness she wanted was to have no foreign debts for the family, come back, be healthy, and be reunited by the family.
So when he heard that Dad Lu, who had been away for N years, finally returned home, he was happy for Sister Shan and sent a congratulatory text message.
But this is obviously a tragedy that ends and happiness restarts, why are they related to Kang Cheng again?
Just as he was about to open his mouth, Lu Peishan waved his hand and said, "I know what you want to ask, listen to me."
Lu Yuan nodded.
Lu Peishan continued: "I also thought that the disaster in our family would end and the happiness of the past would restart, but who knew that the good times would not last long. Less than a month after my father came back, my mother suddenly found out that she had cancer and the third stage of gastric cancer."
"Ah? Auntie has cancer?" Lu Yuan exclaimed. He really didn't know about this and had never heard anyone mention it. The third stage is in the middle and late stages. The cancer cells have begun to metastasize locally and have metastasized nearby, which is a very dangerous stage.
Lu Peishan continued: "I heard this news in the hospital, as if it was a bolt from the blue! But I forced myself to calm down because my father had no idea. I knew that the only one who could save my mother in our family was myself! So I took out all my savings and immediately completed the hospitalization procedures for my mother. But all my savings were used to pay off my father's debts over the years, and the passbook was only 20,000 yuan. This little money was a drop in the bucket for the treatment of cancer. So I thought of transferring the job agency!"
Lu Yuan had a little impression of the transfer of the job agency. He remembered that Lu Peishan invited him to have lunch at the small fried restaurant next door. So, her mother was already hospitalized with cancer at that time. At that time, she thought she didn't want to work in the job agency, but she didn't expect that such a big thing happened at home.
Lu Yuan suddenly felt a little ashamed. As a friend, he didn't even notice anything about the other party's big deal at that time.
Lu Peishan and Lu Yuan touched the cup, drank a few sips of wine, and continued: "The job agency later transferred it, and the transfer was in a hurry. I wanted to get the cash as soon as possible, so the price was suppressed by the buyer. In addition to the business license, procedures and qualifications, office furniture and equipment, the remaining rent was transferred 20,000 yuan. This money is still a drop in the bucket, and it is not enough for the first phase of the treatment cost. I originally thought about finding Pan Dahai and wanted to withdraw the money from the beauty company, but I know that the beauty company just started a business, and you are all gathering money to prepare for this company. Withdrawing the shares at this time will only increase your burden and even end the company early, so I put off this idea and did not look for Pan Dahai, Mao Daqing and the others."
Lu Yuan couldn't help but say, "Actually, you should look for us. Whether you want to withdraw the shares or turnover, everyone will do their best to help. We are partners and friends!"
"Lu Yuan, my friend's friendship is about helping the emergency but not the poor. Cancer is a bottomless pit. If I ask you for your turnaround, it will only drag you down. I can't borrow this money from you. I have never even thought of borrowing money from our relatives."
Lu Peishan can pay off her debts silently for several years without asking her relatives and elders to speak once, which shows how strong his personality is.
Lu Yuan also admitted that she made sense. The cost of cancer treatment is at least hundreds of thousands. With his salary, how much can Sister Shan borrow from him? How many times can she borrow?
Suddenly, for the first time in his life, Lu Yuan felt that money was really a good thing.
"In order to raise medical expenses for my mother, I had the idea of our house."
Lu Peishan said: "The front yard of our house in our city is **. Although it is in a small place like Chengxiang Town, it can be sold for about 150,000 or 60,000 yuan. So, after discussing with my father, I decided to sell our house. Selling the house is a big deal, and it can't hide the secret. It soon spread in our town and it also reached Kang Cheng's ears."
Kang Cheng is the niece of Lu Peishan's uncle's family and a relative who is wiggling around the bush. Even though he is far away in Hangzhou, it is not difficult to know the news of Lu Peishan's house selling a house.
"After I entrusting the house in Chengxiang Town, I went back to Hangzhou. At this time, Kang Cheng called me and asked me to meet him."
Lu Peishan suddenly pointed to the bar and said, "We met this Qing bar, saying that it was opened by a friend of him."
I see.
Lu Yuan was curious just now that Lu Peishan didn’t go to places like bars before. It seemed that she spent a lot of time with Kang Cheng, so she gradually fell in love with places like this.
Lu Peishan said: "I met Kang Cheng in this Qingba. Do you guess what he did after seeing me?"
"I don't know." Lu Yuan shook his head.
Lu Peishan smiled and said, "He actually transferred the agency I transferred from the buyer to the job! He told me that the more difficult it is, the more we cannot kill the guys who eat. He said that my mother does require a lot of money to treat cancer, but if I can't even guarantee that I live forever, why dare others lend me money?"
Chapter completed!
