After I washed off my heavy makeup, the aloof CEO regretted it

Although he was dressed in an ordinary and unremarkable manner, his clothes were clean and tidy, and his hair was not messy.

Sitting there, with your back straight, you have a strong sense of presence.

Probably because of illness, his face looked a little gloomy.

After saying hello, they introduced themselves to each other.

Mr. Li claimed to be an art teacher. After falling ill, he was unable to continue teaching, so he made a living by painting portraits of passers-by on the street, earning some scattered silver every day.

I was hurt in love when I was young, and I never fell in love, got married, or had children.

So far single.

He has a withdrawn and eccentric personality, doesn't socialize much with others, and has no more than three friends.

Geng Yuchen also briefly talked about his current situation.

The waiter handed over the menu. Mr. Li glanced at it briefly and pointed casually:

"This, and this."

After ordering a pot of tea and a plate of snacks, we chatted while drinking tea.

The two people met for the first time, with an age difference of nearly twenty years. It would have been awkward and awkward to sit together.

However, the actual situation is unexpectedly harmonious.

One of them left his family when he was six years old, and the other lost his parents when he was three years old. They both lacked family affection since childhood, and they can't help but feel sympathy for each other.

The topics ranged from Geng Yuchen’s parents and grandparents to some relatives, friends, and old neighbors. The more they talked, the closer they became.

In fact, Geng Yuchen had never met his grandparents and had little impression of his parents, but when he heard someone who might be his uncle telling stories about his relatives' lifetimes, he couldn't help but be fascinated.

Very touching in my heart.

The shock I received on the way here was somewhat diluted.

Later, they talked about painting, chess, and music, and found that they had many common interests.

There are also many consistent views on the understanding of art.

Mr. Li said excitedly that it was rare to meet a close friend today.

Even if a kinship test is done in the future and it is found that the two are not uncle-nephew, they will still make friends with Geng Yuchen and become a lifelong companion.

Geng Yuchen naturally didn't object and asked about his body again.

Mr. Li did not hold back and told the truth that he had gastric cancer and that he was currently in the advanced stage.

The doctor said that depending on his mood and treatment, he could live for about one month to half a year.

Geng Yuchen felt depressed after hearing this.

Mr. Li was very open-minded and said that he would be lucky if he could live one more day, which actually comforted him.

Afterwards, the two men left each other's phone numbers.

Mr. Li said that when the time is arranged, he will contact him to go to the hospital for a blood test.

Just as he said this, Mr. Li answered the phone.

After hanging up hastily, he smoothed his hair and looked flustered:

"Yuchen, I encountered something urgent and I have to go back quickly.

To be honest, the treatment cost me a lot of money, and I don’t have much savings left. Can you settle the account this time? "

Geng Yuchen nodded: "Okay."

He has always been frugal, he doesn't take advantage of others, and he doesn't entertain guests much.

Whether eating or drinking tea, the cost is always shared equally.

But today is a special situation.

Even if the other party is not his uncle, he is still a talented elder, and he is not in good health.

Now that I have opened my mouth, how can anyone refuse?

Although he is not rich, he is young and strong, and has made some money from part-time work recently, so the situation is slightly better.

I can still afford a few cups of tea.

"Thank you then. I'll do it next time."

Mr. Li dropped these words and left in a hurry.

Geng Yuchen called the clerk over to check out, and was dumbfounded when he took the bill.

After reading it three times to make sure he saw it correctly, he asked:

"A pot of tea and a plate of snacks, two hundred and one in total?"

"Yes."

The waiter smiled brightly and explained in detail, "This pot of tea is a mellow-flavored special-grade tongue. The snacks are xylitol-based jujube cakes and egg yolk cakes. They are both more expensive foods.

Didn't you pay attention to the price when ordering? "

Geng Yuchen was speechless. It's not that he didn't pay attention to the price, he didn't order these.

I couldn't help but deeply doubt that I had met a liar and been tricked.

If, as Mr. Li said, he was not financially well-off, he would definitely not order something so expensive.

After ordering and asking someone else to pay, that person is most likely cheating on the food and drink, and is a freeloader.

But every one of the names of relatives and friends he mentioned really matched.

Could it be that you did enough homework before lying to him?

Just for a few sips of tea and snacks, is it necessary to spend so much money?

He had the intention to call and question him, but then he thought that if that person was really a liar, how could he leave a real phone number for him? He would definitely not be able to get through.

If you didn’t mean to trick anyone, but you just couldn’t see clearly when you ordered the food, then since you promised to pay, you can’t break your promise.

It seems that I can only admit that I am unlucky.

When the waiter saw him bowing his head and saying nothing, his expression suddenly turned bad:

"What's wrong, sir? Did you not bring enough money?"

Only then did Geng Yuchen come to his senses: "No, I'll pay you."

Paying for food is a matter of course.

The problem between myself and Mr. Li has nothing to do with the store.

Just like that, he asked the waiter to pack the bag, then took out his mobile phone and paid the money.

During the whole process, I kept biting my back molars.

He usually lives frugally and is reluctant to eat or drink.

It’s really painful to spend so much now.

After leaving the teahouse with the remaining two snacks and half a pot of tea, Geng Yuchen looked at the balance on his phone and felt extremely heavy.

After paying the investigation fee, plus this consumption, and the salary advanced in advance, there is now only three and a half yuan left.

Alas, first I met a female gangster and my innocence was taken away; now I am suspected of meeting a liar and lost so much money.

In fact, the house leaked and it rained all night, so we were unlucky.

Back at the hotel, Geng Yuchen decided to seek revenge from Gu Nian first.

This time, he will never show mercy.

No matter if she is a woman or not, when she sees someone, she will give her a beating without saying anything to vent her anger.

Then, let her return the jade pendant to him.

Even if Gu Nian didn't take it, she must know where it went.

Forget it if you can't find your underwear, the jade pendant is a family heirloom, so you must ask for details.

After sending the tea and snacks back to the room, he came to the door of room 807.

He knocked on the door rudely several times, but before anyone came out to open the door, the floor attendant was alerted.

The cleaning lady came out of the workroom and asked politely:

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

Geng Yuchen stopped banging on the door and replied calmly:

"I'm Mr. Gu's friend. I came here to see her about something."

If I were to take revenge directly, I would definitely not see anyone. At this time, I could only tell a lie first.

"Mr. Gu?"

The waiter lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Ah, are you looking for Miss Gu Nian from Jiehui Entertainment?"

Geng Yuchen: "Yes."

It's that female gangster.

It turned out that she had lived downstairs, but he had never discovered it.
