Chapter 014: A Painful Choice
There is an AMT ATM in the school, and when I went to withdraw the money and hand it to Liu Lianzhu, I happened to meet Chen Ya coming out of the library building, and she happened to see me handing the money to Liu Lianzhu, and her pretty face sank immediately.
Liu Lianzhu also saw Chen Ya at this time, and looked at me a little nervously and said, "Brother Chen, your sister is here." ”
I whispered, "You go first, I'll talk to her." ”
When Liu Lianzhu heard this, he left with the money in his arms, Chen Ya walked up with a black face, looked at me coldly and said, "Chen Cheng, what are you doing?"
I said calmly: "Liu Lianzhu encountered some problems in his life, so he borrowed some money from me. ”
"I warned you not to associate with him, didn't you hear?" Chen Ya angrily accused me and said: "And I think the money you lent him just now is estimated to be tens of thousands, do you know that although this money is given to you by my father, you can spend it yourself, but you don't have the right to give so much money to others?"
When I was in the orphanage, the old director gave us a Chinese lesson called antelope wood carving, and I also knew that children have no right to give their parents to their friends. So what Chen Ya said was not wrong, I said softly: "Zhuzi is in trouble now, he promised not to gamble anymore, I just want to help him pay off his gambling debts first, so that he can return to his normal life and study hard." ”
Chen Ya sneered: "Do you believe the words of a bad gambler?"
I held my face high and said, "I believe in my friend. ”
Chen Ya was a little annoyed by my attitude, and she raised her delicate eyebrows: "Okay, since you trust him so much, then let's make a bet." ”
I was stunned when I heard this: "What bet?"
Chen Ya said: "Didn't you say that Liu Lianzhu won't gamble anymore, let's take a week as a deadline to see if he will gamble?"
I had already warned Liu Lianzhu just now not to gamble anymore, and Liu Lianzhu personally promised that I would not gamble again, and I also helped him repay the gambling debts he owed, so I felt that Liu Lianzhu had no reason to gamble again, so I looked at Chen Ya and asked, "Okay, what do you want to bet with me?"
Chen Ya thought for a while and said: "If he still gambles, even if you lose, if you lose, my request is not too much, and I will not allow you to have any more dealings with him in the future." I don't want you to take the money my dad gave you all day long to relieve this kind of scum, and when you walk with him, others say that you are like things, and now everyone knows that you are my Chen Ya's younger brother, and I feel ashamed if you are not ashamed. ”
I hesitated for a moment and agreed, "Yes, but if he doesn't gamble anymore, even if you lose, you have to promise me one thing." ”
Chen Ya looked at me arrogantly and said, "What's the matter?"
I said, "You don't care who I make friends with, and besides, my siblings and sisters should at least say hello to each other when we meet, okay?"
Chen Ya heard that if I won, she saw that I had to take the initiative to greet me, a little unhappy, but she saw that I was a little dumbfounded and waiting for her to answer, she knew that I had always wanted to improve the relationship with her, she was still a little satisfied with my attitude of wanting to be good with her, and she didn't think that dogs could change to eat, so she nodded and said: "Okay, we are determined, our Chen family is a promise, if you lose, don't cheat." ”
"A man spits a nail, but you lose don't rely on it. ”
After Chen Ya and I made a bet with each other, I went back to the classroom to prepare for the self-study class. Originally, last Friday, I mistakenly thought that after Chen Ya's aid, our relationship completely fell to the bottom, but although that incident exposed my sister-brother relationship with Chen Ya at school, Chen Ya cared a little about me. After all, if my words and deeds are ridiculed, it will cause her to lose face together, so she has now begun to pose as a sister to take care of some of my things.
And I'm quite willing to improve my relationship with her, after all, I love her as a masked boy.
spent two or three days so peacefully, Liu Lianzhu would obediently come to school during the day these days, but he often missed classes in self-study classes at night.
On the afternoon of the third day after school, when I went to the cafeteria to eat, I happened to meet Chen Ya sitting alone in the corner of the cafeteria, playing with her mobile phone while eating casually, I took a meal and walked straight towards her, sat down at her table, and took the initiative to greet her and said, "Sister!"
Chen Ya saw that I dared to sit at the same table with her without her approval to eat, and she was about to get angry with her pretty face, but I took the first step to say to her: "Today is Friday, and our betting deadline has passed for three days. ”
Chen Ya just wanted to fight back against me with words, but at this moment, Liu Lianzhu actually came in from the door of the cafeteria, this guy was wearing a set of newly bought Adidas casual clothes, an Apple Watch on his wrist, and his teeth were repaired. The whole person looked energetic, his face was full of red light, and he exuded the smell of nouveau riche.
He looked around the cafeteria, and finally his eyes fell on me and Chen Ya, and he immediately walked over.
"Brother Chen!"
Liu Lianzhu pulled out the chair next to me and sat down with a big grin, and while greeting me, he also took out a brand-new Apple mobile phone from his pocket, deliberately put the mobile phone on the table, and proudly said that he had transferred all the 16,000 yuan owed to me on WeChat, and asked me to pay attention to it. When he said this, he glanced at Chen Ya intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was saying to Chen Ya: Don't think that I cheated Brother Chen's money, look, I can also repay the money.
However, he didn't know that when he said to return all the money to me, my face suddenly became suspicious, but there was a sneer in Chen Ya's eyes.
I took out my mobile phone and quickly logged in to the WeChat account, and sure enough, a sum of money transferred by Liu Lianzhu was exactly 16,000 yuan. My heart suddenly became panicked, and I stared at Liu Lianzhu: "Zhuzi, where did you get the money?"
Liu Lianzhu said triumphantly: "I won it back, I am now enlightened, and I found that winning money is just one thing, I played poker with the owner of a bar in the past two nights, and I earned back all the money I lost some time ago." That idiot asked me to play tonight, and I'm going to win him again tonight. ”
When Chen Ya heard this, the sneer in her eyes became even stronger, she looked at me and raised her eyebrows, her expression seemed to say: Look, dogs can't change eating.
I remembered the bet with Chen Ya, and I was really angry, so I stood up and glared at Liu Lianzhu: "Bastard, didn't you promise me not to gamble anymore?"
Liu Lianzhu felt that I was a little inexplicable, he looked at me blankly and said, "Brother Chen, didn't I win, what kind of anger are you making?"
I said with a grim face: "It's not a question of money, it's a matter of principle." You didn't do what you promised me, and as long as you gamble every day, you may still get into trouble one day, and you can't afford to lose, you know?"
The people around us began to notice the movement on our side, and many of them had already stolen surprised glances at us, and Liu Zhuzhu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I won't lose again, because I have found a way to win." ”
I was about to laugh angrily when I heard this: "There is no one in the world who can only win and not lose, if you treat me as a brother, stop betting." The boss told you to play cards tonight, and you don't go. ”
Liu Lianzhu didn't understand that he won money back, I still didn't allow him to gamble, and unconsciously he felt that I was hindering him from getting rich, he shook his head: "Brother Chen, I can promise you anything else, but this thing can't work." ”
After he finished speaking, he stubbornly turned and left, and I slumped back into my chair.
Chen Ya opened her mouth at this time, she looked at me proudly and said, "Chen Cheng, the man spits on a nail, you have lost the bet with me." ”
I whispered with a pale face: "Sister, although Zhu Zi still gambles, he won money and didn't get into trouble." ”
Chen Ya said coldly: "It's not a matter of winning or losing, as long as he still gambles a day, it's still a time bomb, you look at his self-righteous appearance just now, maybe he will have an accident in two days." Chen Cheng, people like him can't support the wall, and staying away from him is good for you. ”
After Chen Ya finished speaking, she left with her rice bowl, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in my heart, the choice between friendship and commitment, no matter how I choose now, the result is painful.
When the self-study was about to end at nine o'clock in the evening, a student from the next class hurriedly broke into our classroom, found me and said in a panic and said: "Chen Cheng, your friend played poker with Boss Xiong in the Heart of the Ocean nightclub, others said that he was a good man, and now he is arrested and beaten, and he said that he will cut off his fingers......"
"What!"
When I got the news, I was shocked, no wonder Liu Lianzhu said that he would not lose, and said that he had found some trick to winning, and he had to gamble if he didn't listen to my advice.
I was so shocked and angry that I got up and walked towards the classroom door, trying to get to the Heart of the Ocean nightclub.
The classmates around me all looked at me, and Chen Ya also stood up and stopped me at this time: "Chen Cheng, what do you want to do?"
I glanced at Chen Ya and said with difficulty: "Something happened to the pillar, I can't stand idly by." ”
Chen Ya said coldly: "Don't forget what you promised me, I won't allow you to go." ”
Liu Lianzhu is my friend, and he saved my life, I really can't watch from the wall at such a time, I said sorry to Chen Ya, and then strode out of the classroom. The night sky was dark and the moon was overshadowed, and there were flashes of electricity in the black clouds from time to time, and it was obvious that a thunderstorm was coming in the night......
