Halfway through the party, the students were full of interest and the atmosphere was excellent.

Ning Qingyu felt a little bored after staying in the same place for a long time, so he got up and went outside alone to ventilate.

Walking along the path in front of the hotel, she vaguely heard someone arguing.

No, it doesn't sound like a quarrel, it sounds like a ...... The drama of one person insulting the other.

She is not a person who likes to listen to gossip, last time it was because the person concerned was Ning Qingyu, so she made an exception, but this time she was obviously not an acquaintance.

She wanted to turn around and leave, but the sound kept drifting into her ears, and she could hear it even when she walked back.

"Do you know that I ran out of money this month, the people at the gambling table watched me every day, and when did someone send me money, I waited for more than half a month and didn't wait for the money to come, and now they are all saying that I am a liar, that my son is also a fraudster, and he doesn't work in any group at all, otherwise how can there be no money for my father!"

The voice was a middle-aged man, the man's voice was very calm, and he couldn't hear any emotion, but he was accusing another person who didn't say anything.

"Didn't you say that you are already the manager of your group? Then the salary should be very high, what about the money? Hurry up and get the money to me!"

The man is no longer calm and does not get a response from the other person, and his tone begins to become aggressive.

From these two sentences, Ning Qingyu can probably judge that this is a story of a father who came to find money to pay back, but he doesn't know which unlucky child is this kind of father.

In this world, sad things are happening every day, and today's sad thing happened to be heard by herself, in the corner where she can't see, there may be more things like this, Ning Qingyu sighed quietly, and prepared to walk back to the hotel.

"Dad, I just gave you a sum of money at the beginning of this month......

Ning Qingyu hadn't taken a few steps before he was frightened by this voice.

She froze in place, her feet frozen and unable to move.

"You are squandering me like this, and you are squandering yourself, no family can afford your squandering like this, if you go to the company to make trouble again, you will do it yourself in the future, I will not give you a penny again!"

"What did you say?" the man was shocked and raised his voice, "Are you still my own son? I gave birth to you and raised you, and as a result, you treated me like this, why are you so ruthless, why didn't you die in the first place?!"

There was no sound of arguing on the other end, and the man probably left.

Ning Qingyu's eyes trembled slightly, and the surroundings were quiet, and she seemed to hear the sound of sobbing.

She slowly lifted her feet and walked in the direction of the sound.

Standing behind the man, she saw his shoulders twitch slightly.

"Brother Shang Yi......"

She shouted softly, Shang Yi's body froze suddenly, took a deep breath, and then turned to face her.

"Qingyu, why are you here?"

He pretended to be nothing, but she saw the redness in his eyes.

Maybe male compatriots love face, Ning Qingyu thought, so she pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Our class has dinner today, I feel very bored, so I came out to breathe, Brother Shang Yi, what about you? I also want to ask you why you are feeding mosquitoes here alone." ”

He looked behind him, presumably to see if his father had returned.

There was no one behind him, he sat on the steps, patted the seat next to him by the way, and motioned for Ning Qingyu to sit down.

"How long have you been here?" he asked suddenly.

Ning Qingyu is a more sensitive person, with a strong sixth sense, and can usually guess the process and outcome of many things, this time, she guessed that Shang Yi should know that she heard everything.

"I heard it. ”

She no longer hid it, and even had some curiosity in her heart, what happened to a gentlemanly and capable business elite that could make him sad.

Shang Yi nodded unconcernedly, as if he thought this was the expected answer.

He said, "Do you want to know my secret?"

Ning Qingyu looked back at him and didn't speak, but the curiosity in his eyes said it all.

Shang Yi smiled, his eyes looked at the unknown tree in the distance, as if he was stuck in a memory, "My father, he came to me again to ask for money, this is countless times. ”

This is the opening word of his story, and Ning Qingyu is most familiar with it.

"I send him a sum of money at the beginning of every month, enough for him to eat and drink for a whole month, but he always comes to me in the middle of the month to ask for money, and I look forward to one thing every year, that is, next year's father will stop scolding me and poking me in the wound because of money, but this has been going on for years, and next year's father will always be like today. ”

His mood was extremely sad, and even the atmosphere around him became miserable and miserable.

Ning Qingyu has always disliked this atmosphere, she hates depression, and even hates this kind of emotion when it appears on people she is familiar with, because she feels that "mourning" represents misfortune.

"Brother Shang Yi, don't be sad, he is your father, explain these things clearly, tell him about your predicament, maybe ...... Let Mr. Ning give you a raise?

She has never called Ning Hai "father", and on every occasion she is called "Mr. Ning" and "Mr. Ning", if it was usual, Shang Yi would have to educate her on this issue again, but at this time he was immersed in his emotions, and he might not even be able to hear what she said and how to call her.

"It's not about money, I'm not short of money. He said lightly.

She thought too, is the first assistant to the president of the first enterprise in the imperial capital what kind of person will be short of money?

Ning Qingyu suddenly didn't want to continue asking, it wasn't money, it must be other reasons, other ...... Something that is difficult to make up.

"My father was not such a person before, when he was young, he was chic and wanton, daring, he was a male god in the eyes of girls, and later he was with my mother, they did a lot of romantic things, they loved each other very much, and they were the most enviable couple in the eyes of others......" Shang Yi said that his father's expression was full of satisfaction when he was young.

"Then why is this happening?"

"Because of me, it's all because of me. ”

His eyes gradually narrowed, gloomy and gloomy, and Ning Qingyu felt that the aura around him had become a little cold and cold.

"When I was in a car accident with my mother, my mother died in order to save me, my father thought that all this was caused by me, and then he became depressed, and the good small company was no longer in business, he loved gambling, and owed a lot of debts, and after I helped him pay off all the arrears in the past few years, his drug addiction became even more crazy......"

"I'm not unhappy because he came to me for money...... his voice was choked and hoarse, "but when I saw him, I remembered the past, and as long as he appeared, I would never forget that I was the murderer of my mother." ”

Ning Qingyu frowned and looked at his side face, she had never seen an adult man so distressed, but she didn't know what to do to alleviate his pain, so she could only say comforting words over and over again that were useless.
