Waiting for you with a smile

go for it. "

"..."

Unexpectedly, Uesugi took the initiative to find him, and Yu Furong's heart was in a state of turmoil.

Uesugi had never been so proactive.Every time I come here, I don't deliberately arrange the time, but Yu Furong takes the initiative to go to the office.Yu Furong also knew that Uesugi was here to deal with some work matters, so he always waited quietly until Uesugi finished.

Thinking that Uesugi might be angry, Yu Furong didn't want to go there.

The problem is that Uesugi calls out as a consultant lawyer, and it is impossible to ignore it.

Yu Furong walked towards Uesugi's office with the feeling of a prisoner being dragged to court.

(Hope he doesn't know anything.)

Even though Uesugi would know sooner or later that he had broken his oath, Yu Furong still prayed like this at this moment.

As soon as I walked into the office, I felt a heavy atmosphere in the air.He——sure enough he knew.

"Why are you standing there? Come here."

Yu Furong, who was urged by Uesugi, did not dare to look directly at Uesugi and walked slowly.

Yu Furong, who pretended to be calm, crossed her hands in front of her chest, standing in front of the desk, she could also feel that Uesugi was very angry, and she didn't dare to look at Uesugi directly.

There was a sudden silence.

Should I apologize to him first?

(This time I really have to. As long as I explain the situation to him in detail, he may forgive me. But...)

What if he won't forgive me?

In the end, it was Uesugi who broke the silence.

"You know what you've done, right?"

"you!"

This sentence made Yu Furong very unhappy.

"You are really..."

But before Yu Furong could refute, Uesugi sighed deeply.

"How stupid do you have to be to be willing? Not only paying for the guests' night fare, but even paying back the money for the guests?"

"..."

Uesugi even knew about paying back the money?

"Do you know what that man said about you outside? Yu Furong is obsessed with me. I cried a little bit and begged him, and he agreed to everything. I shouldn't have spent a lot of money to patronize this big brothel before. , really stupid."

"you're lying!"

Yu Furong couldn't help shouting.

"Do you think I'd make up such a silly lie?"

"..."

Although she yelled like that just now, Yu Furong knew very well that it was impossible for Uesugi to lie.He was silent.

"I heard it at the club that Komatsu often goes to. I am also a member of that club. I haven't been there for a long time, but when I went, I heard him say that about you. I heard that the nearest financial company will take out the kind of customers who pay off in one go. Listed as a good customer, and increase the loan amount of this customer. Xiaosong seems to have borrowed a sum of money because of this, and plans to invest it, I don’t know what the result will be?”

"invest……"

If you have the right vision, you can naturally make a lot of money, but in fact it is not that easy.Even after careful investigation, it is not easy to make money.What's more, Komatsu, who is so ambitious, invests with that kind of gambling mentality, and knows what the consequences will be if he thinks about it with his knees.Having seen a lot of men like this, Yu Furong still doesn't understand how someone can squander the money lent by others with good intentions.

"Because that's not my hard-earned hard-earned money."

As if he could read the question in Yu Furong's mind, Uesugi said this.

"What do you like about such a poor man?"

"Which point..."

"Like his looks? Komatsu looks really good."

"no."

"So what's so good about him? This guest who was a little concerned before has a way to make you fall in love with him instantly, so you are willing to pay for him to go upstairs?"

"Actually... I don't like him..."

Uesugi's statement made Yu Furong feel weird.

He didn't hate Xiaosong, but he didn't know if he liked Xiaosong, so he paid for the night ferry.

(It should be said that I did that out of sympathy...)

People in the past often said that love came from pity, but is this also considered falling in love with each other?

"Then what about the former lover? What's so good about him?"

"this--"

The former lover made Yu Furong suffer a lot.But no matter what the result was, it was indeed because of love that he decided to choose him as his lover in the first place.But thinking back carefully now, Yu Furong couldn't think of the reason why she fell in love with that man in the first place.

"Because...he said he loved me—"

"I see. As long as someone says he loves you, do you love him?"

"It's not like that... He said that his parents have severed the parent-child relationship with him, so I can't leave him alone."

In fact, the person who was left behind was Yu Furong.

"Enough! Stop talking!"

"This situation seems to be very similar to your previous lover."

"what?"

Yu Furong raised her head in astonishment.

"Your previous lover seemed to be the boss of a company whose career failed. He took a lot of money from you one after another under the pretext of saying that he wanted to make a comeback, but he was thrown into prison for fraud. The last lover was a former artist with a lot of debts. , the one between artists is a prodigal son who was cut off by his parents... Every relationship ends because the other party cheats on him. And then the next one—”

"Why do you know this?"

"This..."

Know as a consultant lawyer of a restaurant?Or did Eagle Village tell him?Or did you come to the restaurant often and heard about it by accident?

"Why are you always attracted to such rotten men? And you give them money every time?"

"I... can't just ignore death, can I?"

"Why not? They have nothing to do with you! Don't you feel stupid for spending money and energy on such a bad man?"

After being told by Uesugi, Yu Furong couldn't figure out why she would do these stupid things.

"But...that..."

"Say it! Why?"

"Because—because—"

Uesugi asked, leaving Yu Furong nowhere to escape.He felt that something he had never wanted to face was about to reveal itself.

Yu Furong wants to forget the past memories that are about to come out in her mind.

"You don't need to know why!"

"I would like to know!"

Uesugi does not allow Yu Furong to escape.

"This is your punishment for breaking your promise. Answer me quickly. Why can't you just ignore them?"

"punish……"

"That's right."

This word caused ripples in Yu Furong's heart.He felt that he was indeed a person who needed to be punished.

Yu Furong spoke slowly.

"If I... just ignore them..."

"What will happen?"

"What if they really die?"

"..."

Yu Furong's answer surprised Uesugi, his eyes widened, and then slowly returned to normal.

"I thought you would say that you can't ignore them because of love. You usually answer like this? You can't ignore them because of love, don't you think?"

"..."

This sentence caused Yu Furong a lot of shock.

(He was right. Why was my answer so different?)

Why not answer that you help those lovers because you love them?Yu Furong was surprised that she didn't think of this answer.Even if they really struggled with money, Yu Furong couldn't help everyone.Isn't it because he loves those men and is willing to help?

Uesugi continued talking in a comforting tone.

"People don't seek death so easily."

"How can you be sure they won't die?"

"I'm sure. As a lawyer, I've seen that kind of guy a lot."

"Whether a person will seek death or not can't be known by just looking at it!"

"Why do you think so?"

"because……"

Under Uesugi's questioning, Yu Furong squatted down with her head in pain.

"Because that's how my father died!"

The first words she uttered after being sold to Huajiang Building were also memories that Yu Furong kept deep in her heart and completely forgotten.

Memories have been opened, and we can no longer deliberately pretend to have forgotten.All the memories came back, even the appearance of the man lying on the tatami in the old apartment covered in vomit.

"Sure enough, it has something to do with that."

"You know about me?"

Uesugi's words brought Yu Furong back to reality.It turned out that he knew about his father's death.Why?Could it be that Yingcun, who knew the inside story, or the landlord told Uesugi?

Uesugi left the desk and walked to Yu Furong's side.He helped Yu Furong to sit on the sofa, and sat down beside him.

"I investigated you."

"Why do you investigate me without authorization? Even the consultant lawyer of a restaurant shouldn't do this!"

"I would like to apologize to you for this. Because I really want to know about you and why you always choose bad men, so I investigate you."

Uesugi's words made Yu Furong even more angry.

"Then I have to apologize to you? But, whoever I like has nothing to do with you!"

"Can you wake up?"

Yu Furong stared at the roaring Uesugi with wide eyes, this was the first time he heard him roaring so loudly.

"The relationship between you and those lovers is not love at all!"

"That's not love...?"

"Whether it's the guests you spend the night on for him this time, or the lover from last time, you don't love them at all."

"Why do you say that?"

Yu Furong shook her head lightly.

"If I don't love them, why would I pay for them to see me? I'm even willing to pay for the night trip myself to see them! Isn't that considered love?"

"That doesn't count, it's just your persistence."

"Perseverance?"

This word echoed in Yu Furong's heart.But Yu Furong deliberately shook her head, trying to ignore her feelings.

"Don't talk nonsense, okay? I..."

"I think what I said is wrong, why when I asked you what you like about them, you couldn't answer?
