A foreign city, dear you

"Really," Cao Xueqian raised his voice: "Manager Chen told me specifically. So come back, explain things clearly, and do whatever you want. It's not terrible to be confused for a while, but the terrible thing is to be confused for a lifetime."

Cao Xueqian paused and then said: "Think about it, you are still so young, is it worth spending your whole life just for those tens of thousands of dollars? Are you only worth those tens of thousands of dollars in your life? Maybe it's it How many times or dozens of times more than that?”

Zhu Jintao didn't reply. Cao Xueqian didn't know what he was thinking. He was worried that the repentance he had just expressed would change again, so he continued to persuade: "The sea of ​​suffering has no limit, and there is a shore when you turn back. As long as you come back and return the money, everything will be over." You can start over."

There was still no sound on the phone.

Cao Xueqian was a little anxious, thinking that Zhu Jintao was missing again.

"Hey! Hey! Are you listening?" Cao Xueqian shouted into the phone.

"Thank you, I will think about it carefully." The other end of the phone finally spoke.

"That's right. If you need help with anything, just tell me and I will definitely help you as long as I can help you."

When Cao Xueqian said this, he saw Ye Lian shaking his head and winking at him anxiously.

"I understand what you mean. You are a good person. Not only do you not hold a grudge against me, but you also said you would help me. I am too confused and lost my mind. I...I won't disturb you today. Goodbye." Phone call. There was a beep on the other end.

Cao Xueqian hung up the phone.

"Why do you still say you want to help him? Do you dare to trust such a person again? Aren't you afraid that he will do harm to you again?" Ye Lian asked puzzledly, with a worried tone in her tone.

"The fact that he can call me shows that he still has a conscience and that he also has the intention to repent and will not do bad things again and again."

Seeing that Ye Lian was still worried, Cao Xueqian comforted her: "You little fool, what are you worried about? I didn't say I would definitely help him.

"I just said that I will help if I can. If I feel that I can't help or can't help, I won't help. I don't lose anything by saying that, but for Zhu Jintao, I can gain a kind of help. With the encouragement and warmth in his heart, maybe he will make up his mind to repent and turn over a new leaf?"

This seems to make sense.

Ye Lian then put down her worries.

"Okay, what you said makes sense." Ye Lian said, "Then do you think he will return the money?"

"It's hard to say this, because people's ideas can change at any time. I hope he can find his way back."

A few days later.

Cao Xueqian was on his way home from get off work. He had just gotten off the bus and was walking home.

"Ding-" "Ding-" "Ding-"... The mobile phone in his pocket received several text messages in succession.

Who is sending so many text messages?

Is Ye Lian looking for something to do with me? Why didn't she just call me?

Cao Xueqian took out his phone and took a look. Each text message was a bit long, so he simply stopped and read it slowly.

It was not a text message sent by Ye Lian, the phone number was unfamiliar, but as soon as he saw the content of the text message, Cao Xueqian knew who sent it.

"Hello, Brother Cao. I have returned to Xiangyang Zhenxi Yayuan and returned the money to the treasurer. I have also explained some other things clearly. I was temporarily obsessed and went astray. The reason for this is, It’s hard to tell clearly.”

"Thank you for your tolerance and persuasion for me, allowing me to reflect on myself. I have thought a lot these days. The path of life is not important whether it is faster or slower. The important thing is to move in the right direction."

"I lost a good job, and I haven't thought about where I will go in the future. I brought it on myself. I have been condemned by my conscience and I paid a heavy price, but I feel relaxed now and I will not sleep again at night. Nightmares.”

"Although I am grateful to you, I have no face to see you again. I'm sorry for Xi Yayuan, I don't deserve to stay in Xiangyang Town. I am looking for the next place that can accommodate my body and rebuild my lost soul. "

"Goodbye, brother, I wish you a bright future and all the best! Zhu Jintao"

Looking at it, Cao Xueqian's lips showed a smile.

Although many things about Zhu Jintao are still a mystery to Cao Xueqian, those are not important. What is important is that Zhu Jintao really came back and he was really determined to start a new life. This is such a gratifying thing.

Yes, it doesn’t matter whether the road of life is faster or slower. What’s important is to rely on your own hands to create...

What about myself?

I also need to work harder to pay off my debts earlier and lead my family towards a better life.

"father!"

Cao Xueqian was thinking as he walked, and before he knew it, he was downstairs where he rented a house and heard Lan Shan calling him loudly.

He looked up and saw Lanshan's head sticking out of the window. Behind Lanshan was Ye Lian's smiling face.

After I bought the house in Xiyayuan, I left it there because I didn’t have the money to renovate it yet. The plan is to decorate after the Chinese New Year.

Time flies by and the end of the year is quickly approaching.

On this day, Saturday, a guest came to the house.

It was the arrival of this guest that made Ye Lian learn about Cao Xueqian's difficult and tearful past.

For Ye Lian's family, having guests at home is a very unusual thing.

Because Ye Lian rarely has guests at home.

During holidays, Ye Wei comes occasionally. Yelu is still in He'ao Village, far away and not easy to come.

Cao Xueqian's company is also far from home, and his colleagues are scattered in every corner of the city. It is not easy to visit after get off work, so few colleagues come to play at home.

Even Cheng Yufei has never been a guest at home.

Ye Lian went to Cheng Yufei's house with Cao Xueqian and met Cheng Yufei's wife. Cheng Yufei and the others rented a house in another town. When they went there, they had to wait for the bus, squeeze in the bus, ask for directions, and find a place, which took a long time.

Moreover, since he bought a house in Xiyayuan, Cao Xueqian has been focusing on making money to pay off debts and save some money for renovations.

He took some painting orders outside and often had to work until late at night. Even on weekends, he often painted pictures together with Cheng Yufei.

Therefore, it stands to reason that he would not have time to receive guests.

But last night, Cao Xueqian came back from get off work and tried his best to invite someone to his home.

Ye Lian heard him say this on the phone:

You must come to my house tomorrow. First, let's catch up on old times. Second, come to my place to see if I can give you a better opportunity. Even if you ask for leave, come to my place, remember!

Ye Lian asked Cao Xueqian who this person was?

Cao Xueqian just answered "an ex-friend" and went to do his business. Ye Lian didn't ask any more questions, thinking that she would know what kind of friend he was when he came.
