i'm not a bad man

Chapter 448 Test and Response

This is the first time that Chang Tianming and I have sat together in an opposite attitude since we got acquainted. Since this confrontation came too suddenly, we couldn't adapt to it for a while, so our silence seemed a bit heavy and forbearing...

The reason why he forbears is because we have indeed trusted each other unconditionally, and together we have made a substantial leap forward for the Lover's Valley Scenic Area. Of course, he will weigh what will happen if this hard-earned relationship is destroyed. situation; and I also have worries in my heart: once Chang Tianming and I completely break up, this scenic spot will have no necessary connection with me in the future. No matter how much credit I have, it cannot change that Chang Tianming is the one who owns this scenic spot. The fact of actually controlling the person.

The scene became extremely delicate.

Chang Tianminggui is the richest man in the small town, and he must have a certain personality, so he did not lose his composure because of my verbal attack. When he came to his senses, he seemed not to have heard my harsh words and just smiled at me. Said: "Han Chao, I have always felt that our values ​​​​are consistent, so we can do such a successful thing together... But your current performance makes me doubt... There is no need for us to argue here. , I have always been a person whose actions speak louder than words... and the truth must also exist in practice... Well, you can experience it for yourself... To understand, for a young man like you, is career more important, or is it so illusory? The relationship is more important... After you have the answer, we can have a good chat again. By then, it will definitely be much deeper than it is now." After a pause, Chang Tianming said to me again: "What did you do from Yu Li's side? Move out the villa, and don't use his car... As for the house I gave you before, I have no reason to get it back. I heard that you have also sold it to Xiaowei. , but I still want you to try what it's like to be penniless... Just think of it as a contract between us two men, don't touch the money you paid for selling the house for the time being... See if you feel uncomfortable, After a period of time, are you still willing to stick to your current ideas? The most important thing is not you, but the girl named Lu Xi... Keep your eyes open and take a good look, can she accept such a penniless person? You, this is a test for the two of you, but it is just a test. With me, you still have a chance to look back... I still say the same thing, you are the two young people I admire most so far. One, I don’t want to lose such a talent.”

After saying that, Chang Tianming stood up and left the noodle shop. It was not until he left that the waiter brought the two bowls of signature beef noodles we ordered before to the table...

I sat there for a while without eating a bite. After paying the bill, I left the noodle shop.

……

Chang Tianming is a wise man, so I admit that he used a very wise method to resolve the conflict between the two of us; he is right, in real life, some words cannot be said too fully. True knowledge needs to be gained in practice, but even if I know he is right, I cannot fully accept it. It is absolutely impossible for me to use Luxi as a bargaining chip in exchange to obtain benefits for myself that have no moral basis.

At the same time, I am also a self-respecting person. Since Chang Tianming has issued an eviction order for me, I have no reason to live in his house anymore, use Chang Yuli's car, and even the money I got from selling the house before will not be touched. …

I even want Chang Tianming to see a Korean Chao who can persevere in extreme adversity.

……

I returned to my residence and put Chang Yuli's car keys in the living room. When she heard the sound of my return, Lu Xi also walked down from the second floor. She had already changed into normal clothes.

She was a little surprised and asked me, "Why are you back so soon?"

I looked at her with a complicated mood, so I was silent for a moment before replying: "We have to move out of here."

"Why?"

"Uncle Chang won't let me live here anymore, and he won't let me drive the car from before either."

Lu Xi couldn't help but laugh: "You are such an old man, and he is also such a successful entrepreneur. Why does it sound like you are quarreling with a child, saying that you won't let him live, and then he won't live there?"

This is really not a quarrel between children, this is a contract, a test, and a response that I must make; however, I don’t know how to say it to Lu Xi...

Lu Xi only thought I was trying to save her face. She walked up to me, shook my arm, and said, "If you can't live here, just live there. It's no big deal... Let's pack our bags together."

……

Lu Xi didn’t have any luggage, only one suitcase, so she packed it first, then came to my room and helped me pack it. She sat on the bed and folded my clothes one by one while I packed them. Some sundries...

I used to be a man who was not very private in my private life, so every time I went to a bar, I would always put two condoms in my pocket. Sometimes I could use them, sometimes I couldn't, so it was inevitable that some would be left behind. In clothes I don't often wear.

When Lu Xi was sorting it out, he found foreign objects in his pockets, so he took out two of them from the gray jacket, raised them in front of me, and asked, "What are these?"

"Uh... uh... when I was eating lobster in the summer, I accidentally forgot the disposable gloves in my pocket..." After that, I laughed dryly twice, and then said: "Now the merchants , they will do this kind of gimmick, they think it is marketing, but in fact it is very vulgar.”

Lu Xi raised his head and looked at it again, and replied: "I don't see why it doesn't look like it. I'll take it apart and take a look."

I looked at her nervously, but she suddenly put the condom into her pocket and said, "I seem to have seen this somewhere. Is there someone who would make disposable gloves like this... or not take them off?" , you can’t use it next time you open it... Wait until the weather is warm enough to eat crayfish, and then take it out for use." "In fact, you don’t have to wait until the weather is warm... Disposable gloves have many uses, and they don’t have to be used. Eat crawfish.”

"According to you, this is still a good thing?"

"So... right... if you think it's good, then it's good."

Lu Xi nodded, and then looked at me with a half-smile. Just when I wanted to say something, she stopped arguing with me and buried herself in packing my clothes.

……

After leaving the villa, Lu Xi and I each dragged a suitcase and stood on the street of the small town, suddenly not knowing where to go.

The small town ushered in a wave of late spring cold. Yesterday's warmth no longer existed. The wind blew over and cut into his face like a knife. Lu Xi unconsciously pulled his collar to the highest point and then covered his face.

I took off my scarf, put it around her neck, and asked her, "Is it cold?"

She looked at me, smiled and replied, "It's not cold."

"I even saw you shrinking your neck."

"It's not cold!"

After saying that, Lu Xi stretched out her hand and motioned for me to feel her body temperature; I held her hand, my heartbeat quickened, but I didn't let go. This was the first time we held hands on the street... …

Her hands were cold, and so were mine, but when we held them together, I didn't feel cold anymore.

It took me a long time to calm myself down a little, and then I said to her: "Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year. The agency has not started work yet. It is not practical to rent a house now. Let's rent a hotel first."

"it is good."

"but……"

"But what?"

"I...have no money..."

Lu Xi looked at me in disbelief, and then said after a long while: "You're a big bastard, you won't even return the money to him, right?"

"That's it."

"Then why are we staying here?... Let's go to Luoyang. I'll invite you to stay at a hot spring hotel."

After saying that, Lu Xi reached out to stop the taxi on the roadside.

The small town is nearly 160 kilometers away from Luoyang. Usually, you have to negotiate the price and pay first before the taxi will leave. However, Lu Xi took out his mobile phone and tried several times, but failed to pay successfully.

She was stunned, and after a while she suddenly said to me: "My money is all in my mother's account, and my change is bound to her bank card. She seems to have frozen that bank card!" "
