After all, they were former friends, and in just a few minutes of getting along, Han Xuan combined him with the image of his childhood friend in his impression.

Ethan is four years older than Han Xuan, Han Xuan was only three years old when the two first met, and was taken by his father to his house as a guest, just a dozen kilometers away, there is a small ranch covering an area of more than 1,000 acres, but it is not his family's property, but rented from others.

He was not used to being hugged by him, but Han Xuan did not resist this gesture of intimacy, invited Ethan to be a guest at home, asked Joanna to help pour coffee, sat on the sofa and asked him, "What are you doing lately, are you still helping your father manage the ranch?" ”

It's been four or five years since I last got in touch, and I remember the last time I met him, Ethan said he wasn't going to go to high school and was going to help his father manage the ranch.

Looking at this perennial weather, looking like a cowboy in his twenties, he is similar to the cowboys in the ranch, and he may really drop out of school to become a cowboy.

Han Xuan doesn't think that the professional level of cowboy is low, but he regrets that he didn't go out to see the world by reading.

In fact, this world is very exciting, but people are often trapped by various reasons such as economy and family, and they all say that there is always one of the heart and body on the road, and Ethan even gave up the book, as a friend, Han Xuan felt pity for this.

"Yes, my father couldn't afford to rent it after your ranch made this area famous.

He traveled the world the year before last and hasn't come back yet, and he hasn't even called me, and I went to Atlantis Ranch last October to get a job.

I haven't been to your house for a long time, the decoration is really good, sometimes I will go to the resort to bet on horses, but unfortunately I lost more and won less, and sent a lot of money to your family. ”

Ethan turned his head to look around, his tone filled with emotion.

When I met Han Xuan back then, the wooden house of Han Xuan's family was not even as good as his family, and now, the gap between them is like a Pacific Ocean, even if it is casually thrown under the small-leaved red sandalwood tree and used as decoration, the dog's head gold is more than his entire net worth.

Han Xuan wanted to tell him that if he restrained himself from betting on horses, he would not lose money, but the relationship between the two had not matured like that, so he changed the topic with a smile and said: "The decoration style is a bit old, and my father is planning to renovate here."

The Atlantis ranch is pretty good, and the rancher, Old Jack, is very polite to people, and it should be okay to work there. ”

Han Qianshan really has the idea of redecorating this house, but it is not because of the old decoration style as Han Xuan said, but he is tired of seeing the same decoration every day and wants to change his taste.

Saying such things would seem too abnormal, at least too difficult for ordinary people to accept, looking at Ethan's tattered pickup and tattered boots, his life does not seem to be rich, and he is avoiding pouring salt into the hearts of his old childhood friends......

Ethan said this, with an impatient look on his face: "Very polite to outsiders, but not very good to us.

Forty cowboys are doing the work, and there are only nineteen cowboys on the ranch, and the workload is almost double that of other places, and the pay is the same, and I have quit. ”

Han Xuan thought that he wanted to come here to work, so he told: "There is no shortage of people in my ranch for the time being, but you can go to the vegetable plantation, if you are not comfortable in the Atlantis ranch, you can come at any time." ”

"No, no, no! I'm not bothering you about this. ”

With his head shaking rapidly, Ethan continued, "I'm going to marry a girl from Great Falls, but I don't have anything.

Her father wants me to prove that I can make her happy in the future, so I'm going to borrow $80,000 from you as a start-up capital for my business, and I know it's nothing to you, right? ”

As he spoke, Han Xuan stared at Ethan's eyes, feeling unhappy and desperate.

Friends who have not been in touch for many years rarely come to the door once, but in order to borrow money from themselves, they are worth $80,000 per mouth, and they say that they are nothing to themselves, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Usually there are few friends, and rich acquaintances want to borrow money, so they all go through the normal procedures of East West Bank to borrow, and at most they just let him help them pass.

No one has ever borrowed money from Han Xuan, eighty thousand dollars is not much for him, and if he can help Ethan's life get on the right track, he will be happy to come up with this money.

Just as he was about to say yes, Daddy came over and said with a smile, "Ethan, have you come here to pay back?" Old Barton complained to me yesterday that you owe more than a thousand dollars to the racecourse.

You've been hanging out with the Jorah Cregan guys lately? They gamble all day long, and in the end there is no good outcome. ”

Han Xuan understood as soon as he heard it, his father was reminding him that Ethan was not a good person.

Jorah Cregan is one of the bullies in the neighborhood who has heard the name Han Xuan since he was a child, and he often does some petty theft, drug trafficking, and even forcibly * a girl in Augusta Town, who was taken to court and imprisoned.

It's been a long time since I've heard from Krigan, and the name of the gangster at this level can't reach Han Xuan's ears, and no matter how powerful he is, he won't dare to come to the Snow Mountain Ranch to make trouble.

Seeing Han Qianshan, Ethan's face became embarrassed, especially when he mentioned that he owed money to the gambling racecourse, and hurriedly told: "When my boss pays his salary, I will pay you back immediately, Mr. Han, I am no longer with them, I understand what you said." ”

After speaking, he gave Han Xuan a look and asked him not to tell him about borrowing money.

Han Xuan probably understood something from this, and had to use another idea to measure the life style of this little man.

The image was so unfamiliar, and the little familiarity that had just been generated quickly disappeared, and he began to think about the purpose of his borrowed money, and whether he could get along as before, Secretary Dawson was right yesterday.

Daddy Han just said a word, saw his son's expression and left, he had just gone out, Joanna called him and said that Ethan had arrived, so he hurried back, Daddy didn't think he was a good person.

Americans don't need to be polite, Han Xuan has already learned this, and asked directly: "Is it really because of a girlfriend?"

You should also know that everything I want to figure out can be figured out, and there is no point in lying to me. ”

When Ethan heard this, a look of shame appeared on his face, and he raised his voice and said, "Don't you believe me?" ”

With an undeniable expression, Han Xuan felt that the loud voice was not convincing, but more like a weak heart.

Ethan dared to use his childhood friendship as a bargaining chip to borrow money, but he couldn't ignore it, which was related to his childhood memories, and continued: "Are you in trouble? ”

Being looked at by Han Xuan with tough eyes, Ethan was a little flustered.

Knowing that Han Xuan was right, it was difficult to deceive him, and he obviously didn't believe himself anymore, he paused for a while, and said weakly: "Yes, I owe a gambling debt outside......
