The place where Lu Peishan asked Lu Yuan to meet was a bar, near the cosmetics company they co-owned with Pan Dahai.

This is a newly opened Qing bar.

Lu Peishan has been coming here lately to pass the time in the evenings, with soft lighting, soothing music, and a drink, which can make people forget the worries of the day for a while.

In the booth.

Lu Yuan looked at Lu Peishan in front of him, he changed a lot, and he became a little unrecognizable.

The ponytail she has been tying has been cut off, her short hair with ear lengths, and slightly curly bangs, which have faded from her girlish temperament, and she has suddenly become much more mature and charming. Although the face with a little light makeup looked particularly exquisite, Lu Yuan still saw a haggard and a trace of unconcealable worry from between her slightly frowning eyebrows.

After Lu Yuan sat down, he ordered a beer with the waiter.

Before he came, Lu Peishan had already ordered a cocktail for him, but he was not used to the smell of cocktails, like wine and not like wine, he still liked to drink beer.

"Sister Shan, have you changed a lot?" Lu Yuan took off his bulky down jacket and put it aside.

"What's the big change?" Lu Peishan stirred the straw in the cocktail twice.

"Haha, it's all there." Lu Yuan glanced at the cocktail in front of her, and then at her now refreshed appearance, pun intended.

Lu Peishan smiled, understood what he meant, and said: "People will always grow, and they will always make changes inadvertently." I remember this phrase that you often talk about. ”

"Uh......"

Lu Yuan nodded, this sentence was indeed a sentence that he often talked about.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Lu Peishan asked suddenly.

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Sister, you asked me out, shouldn't you have something to say to me?" ”

"Giggles... Load, you continue to load. ”

Lu Peishan smiled lightly and said, "After hearing about me, don't you want to talk to me?" This is not your Lu Yuan's usual style. Unless you haven't always considered me a friend! ”

"This ......" Lu Yuan was stunned again, and he was caught off guard again.

Lu Peishan continued: "Okay, don't pretend to know anything. I don't believe it's been so long, Mao Daqing and Pan Dahai, the two big mouths, haven't told you about me, and this is not their style. ”

"Okay......"

In this 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 a small situation at home a few years ago, and then it was the Spring Festival, so I delayed this matter." Actually, if you call me today, I'll call you in two days. Sister Shan, can you tell me why? ”

"You want to ask me, why do you fall in love with Kangcheng, a married man?" Lu Peishan asked.

Lu Yuan sighed softly.

At this time, the waiter brought the draft beer.

Seeing this, Lu Peishan picked up her cocktail glass and said, "Come, touch one first." ”

Lu Yuan picked up the draft beer and gently knocked it with her.

Lu Peishan took two sips, suddenly exhaled lightly, smiled bitterly, and said: "Believe it or not, I don't know what I like him, and even I don't know if I like him or not?" ”

"Huh? Sister, you're a bit of a! ”

Lu Yuan was confused when he heard this, and said, "You don't like him, are you with him?" And he's a married man! Putting aside love and love, just because you know that he is a married man, you can't stand it when you say that you can't stand up to it. Destroy other people's families, be a small ......"

Lu Yuan said angrily, and suddenly stopped talking.

Because if he continued to talk about it, he was afraid of hurting Lu Peishan. After all, even if she made a thousand mistakes, she was still his friend Lu Yuan.

"Why did you stop? Afraid of hurting me? I know what you want to say, what you want to say is to destroy other people's families and be a junior who can't see the sun, what a shameful thing! Lu Peishan took Lu Yuan's unfinished words and continued.

Lu Yuan saw that she had said so herself, so he let go of the talk and asked, "Since you understand this truth, why do you still want to jump into this pond of stinky water?" ”

"Let me tell you something, about our family."

Lu Peishan said, raised her hand to beckon the waiter, ordered another glass of margarita, and then continued: "It didn't take long for my dad to come back from out of town since I paid off the last debt for our family. A few members of the family have been separated for so many years and reunited again, Lu Yuan, do you know how happy I am? Do you know? The moment my dad came home and walked in the door, the stone that had been pressing on my chest for years fell to the ground in an instant. Do you know? I can clearly feel that I can breathe more comfortably than before, and I even sleep sweeter than before. I love this feeling and I crave this happiness! ”

Lu Yuan listened to her quietly, he understood Lu Peishan's hardships and difficulties the most among all his friends, and he also understood best that the happiness she wanted was that her family had no foreign debts, her father came back, her mother was healthy, and the family was reunited.

So at the beginning, when he heard that Father Lu, who had been running away for N years, finally came home, he was also happy for Sister Shan, and sent a congratulatory text message.

But this is obviously a tragic end and a happy restart, why is it related to Kang Cheng again?

As soon as he was about to open his mouth, he saw Lu Peishan wave his hand and said, "I know what you want to ask, you listen to me." ”

Lu Yuan snorted.

Lu Peishan continued: "I also thought that the disaster in our family would end and the happiness of the past would be restored, but who knew that the good times would not last long, less than a month after my father came back, my mother was suddenly diagnosed with cancer, stage 3 stomach cancer. ”

"Huh? Auntie has cancer? Lu Yuan exclaimed, he really didn't know about this matter, and he hadn't heard anyone mention it. In the third stage, which is the middle and advanced stage, the cancer cells have begun to metastasize locally and proximally, which is a very dangerous stage.

Lu Peishan continued: "When I heard the news in the hospital, it was like a bolt from the blue! But I forced myself to calm down, because my dad had run out of ideas, and I knew that my family could save my mother, and only I was myself! So, I took out all my savings and immediately went through the hospitalization procedures for my mother. But all my savings have been used to pay off my father's debts over the years, and there is only 20,000 yuan in the passbook, which is a drop in the bucket for the treatment of cancer. So I thought of selling the agency! ”

Lu Yuan was a little impressed by the transfer of the employment agency, and he remembered that Lu Peishan invited him to lunch at the small fried restaurant next door. In this way, her mother was already hospitalized with cancer at that time. At that time, I thought she didn't want to work in the employment agency, but I didn't expect this kind of big thing to happen at home.

Lu Yuan suddenly felt a little ashamed, as a friend, the other party had such a big thing, but he didn't even notice it at that time.

Lu Peishan touched the cup with Lu Yuan, and after taking two sips of wine, she continued: "The employment agency was later transferred, and the transfer was in a hurry, and I wanted to get the cash as soon as possible, so the price was also pressed by the buyer a lot, and even the business license, procedures and qualifications, office furniture and equipment, and the remaining rent, I transferred 20,000 yuan." This money is still a drop in the bucket, and it is still not enough for the first instalment of treatment costs. I originally thought about looking for Pan Dahai and wanted to withdraw the money from the beauty company, but I knew that the beauty company had just started a business, and several of you were pooling money to prepare this company. Withdrawing shares at this time will only increase your burden, and even make this company end early, so I put out this idea and didn't look for Pan Dahai and Mao Daqing. ”

Lu Yuan couldn't help but say: "Actually, you should look for us, whether you want to withdraw shares or turn over, everyone will do their best to help." We are partners, but also friends! ”

"Lu Yuan, the friendship of friends and wealth lies in helping the emergency and not the poor. Cancer is a bottomless pit, and if I look for you to turn around, it will only drag you down, and I can't borrow this money from you. I didn't even think of borrowing money from my relatives. ”

Lu Peishan was able to silently repay her father's debts for a few years, and she didn't talk to her relatives and elders once, which shows that she has a strong personality.

Lu Yuan also admitted that she was reasonable, the cost of cancer treatment is at least hundreds of thousands, just his salary, how much can Sister Shan borrow from him? How many times can I borrow it?

Suddenly, for the first time in his life, Lu Yuan felt that money was really a good thing.

"In order to make up for my mother's medical expenses, I moved the idea of our house."

Lu Peishan said: "The front yard of our house in the city, although it is in a small place like Chengxiang Town, it can almost be sold for 150,000 or 60,000 yuan. So, I discussed with my dad and decided to sell our house. Selling a house is a big deal, and it can't be hidden, and it soon spread in our town and also reached Kangcheng's ears. ”

Kang Cheng is the niece and son-in-law of Lu Peishan's uncle's family, a relative who is twisting and turning, even if he is far away in Hangzhou, it is not difficult to know the news of Lu Peishan's family selling a house.

"After I entrusted the house in Chengxiang Town, I went back to Hangzhou. That's when Kang Cheng called me and asked me to meet. ”

Lu Peishan suddenly pointed to this bar and said, "We met in this bar, and said that it was opened by a friend of his." ”

I see.

Lu Yuan was still curious just now, Lu Peishan didn't go to places like bars much before, and it seemed that she had been clubbing a lot with Kang Cheng, so she gradually liked this kind of place.

Lu Peishan said: "I met Kang Cheng at this bar, do you guess what he did after seeing me?" ”

"I don't know." Lu Yuan shook his head.

Lu Peishan said with a smile: "He actually transferred the employment agency I transferred back from that buyer!" He told me that the more people are in trouble, the more they can't afford to be the one who eats. He said that my mother does need a lot of money to treat cancer, but if I can't even guarantee that I will live forever, why would others dare to lend me money? ”

Although he didn't like Kang Cheng, a person with a bad heart, Lu Yuan also had to admit that he had a point.
