Did something go wrong with the plane?
Chen Wei quickly went online and inquired about the flight from Jicheng to Bingcheng.
The latest flight had successfully landed half an hour ago.
At half-past one in the morning, Chen Wei downloaded a software on his mobile phone. Trembling, he dialed Gao Qi"s number.
The call went through.
“h.e.l.lo?” The familiar soft voice came through.
“Baby, have you arrived in Bingcheng? Why … didn"t you answer my call?” Chen Wei asked with a smile on his lips.
“Oh … it"s you. Isn"t it normal to not answer your call? I"ve ignored your calls, but you"re quite smart, knowing how to call me with a different number.” Gao Qi said in a lazy, mocking tone.
“Xiaoqi … what are you talking about, didn"t you go to Bingcheng?” Chen Wei felt dizzy and asked in a low voice.
“Chen Wei, are you stupid? I have moved all my things from your house. Starting from today, no, since yesterday we have already broken up.”
“Broken … up?”
“By the way, I have my engagement banquet at noon today, in the best X hotel in Jicheng. But I guess you don"t have any money to follow suit now, so you"re not invited.” Gao Qi sneered.
“Why … What the h.e.l.l is this? Haven"t we been doing good all the time? Weren"t we planning to get married? Why … suddenly get engaged to someone?” Chen Wei asked in agitation.
“Who will be your wife? My engagement banquet will cost 880,000 tomorrow. Can you take that much money out? My fiance"s family has 9 suites in Jicheng, and we even have 3 courtyard houses. What do you have? A father who has liver cancer? A life-long debt? “
Chen Wei"s pride was extremely hurt, but for the sake of his father, he still let go of the last trace of his self-esteem: “Baby … Xiaoqi, my father urgently needs surgery, can you lend me 100,000 yuan first, I will pay back as soon as possible. “
“Lend you 100,000? Although I don"t lack money right now, if my fiance knows about you borrowing my money, it will affect the relationship between the two of us. Sorry, you have to find another way. “
“But your father was sick three months ago, I …”
Before Chen Wei had finished speaking, Gao Qi was interrupted impatiently: “I have been sleeping with you for a year. The money was your love investment. Now that the investment has failed, do you want to turn your face? Be a whistleblower? See if you can change everyone"s minds. “
“Chen Wei, please wake up. You are a man with no ability. You don"t even have the ability during the day, let alone the night!”
After speaking these merciless last words, Gao Qi hung up the call.
When Chen Wei changed the software and dialed again but Gao Qi had already switched off her phone.
Chen Wei was desperate, walking on the street aimlessly, hoping that a sports car that was racing on the road at night would hit him and end his misery. In that case, he would not only get rid of the endless pain in his heart but also give his parents a huge compensation, which would solve the urgent need for money.
However, until dawn, Chen Wei was still unharmed, and when he was at the brink of despair, he saw this Hope Coffee House and walked in unconsciously.
After listening to Chen Wei"s narration, Wu Liang was deeply angered. How could such a heartless woman exist?
Wu Liang opened the system mall in his mind to see what materials were available in the mall. First, he exchanged some Hope currency to find ways to help Chen Wei.
Just when he saw the panel, Wu Liang was surprised to find that Chen Wei had once again touched despair while narrating. The hope value dropped from -92% to -98%!
Hope Coffee system had said, if the value of hope reaches -100%, people will tend to become suicidal. It would be difficult for Chen Wei to find hope again.
Fortunately, at the first sight of the items in the mall, Wu Liang"s heart calmed down. The first item in the mall"s inventory was money.
The exchange ratio is 1: 100. A Hope coin can be exchanged for 100 yuan.
Wu Liang quickly got up and came to the counter. Under the cover of the counter, he exchanged all 120 of his hope coins into 12,000 yuan, walked quickly to Chen Wei, sat down again, and pushed a new stack of banknotes in front of him.
Looking at Chen Wei"s miserable eyes, Wu Liang said: “Brother Chen, it is also a good thing that you were able to see Gao Qi"s true colors before getting married. It is not good for you to take your life for this kind of person. Uncle cannot afford the cost of treatment. Your death cannot solve anything. Uncle needs 100,000 yuan. I "ll lend you some money first. The cash in the shop is only 12,000. You go to the bank and save it for your father. I "ll get the remaining 88,000 as soon as possible. 100,000 yuan will be deposited in your account tonight! “
“Really?” Chen Wei looked at Wu Liang, eyes wide in disbelief.
Wu Liang held Chen Wei"s right hand and placed the cash on his palm. He nodded and smiled, “Brother Chen, you, uncle, and aunt are good people. In all my years, I have never doubted that those who do good will receive good in return. I"m not short of money. When you find a job, and your uncle is in a stable condition, you can pay it back slowly. “
Grat.i.tude from Chen Wei: +100
He had been rewarded.
With tears in his eyes, Chen Wei said to Wu Liang, “Thank you, brother. I"ll hand you an IOU.”
Wu Liang shook his head and smiled: “No, just leave me your mobile phone number and account number. After I get the remaining 88 thousand, I will take the initiative to call you. Later, when all your troubles are resolved and you"re ready to return my money, we can have a meal together. “
Grat.i.tude from Chen Wei: +100
“Thank you for trusting me, but I would prefer leaving an IOU in your hands.” Chen Wei insisted.
Wu Liang"s heart was already soaring. 200 seemed like a small value, but it was equivalent to 2000 hope coins. And these, in turn, could be exchanged for 200,000 yuan! This was a huge profit!
Giving in to Chen Wei"s urging, Wu Liang fetched a pen and paper.
While Chen Wei quietly wrote, Wu Liang took the chance to quickly check Chen Wei"s hope value.
10%.
Although it was not very high, it had finally changed from negative to positive!
Wu Liang guessed that when he gave Chen Wei the remaining 88 thousand and his father"s treatment costs were dealt for, the value would reach 60%.
Thinking of the 30 days he would get without any illness or injury, Wu Liang"s heart was light. He noticed the crease between Chen Weimei"s eyebrows, and could not help but comfort him: “Brother Chen, you gave money to Gao Qi"s father for treatment. You did nothing wrong in helping him. It"s Gao Qi who had a vile personality. “
This thought had been bothering Chen Wei the entire time. When Chen Wei walked aimlessly on the road, he kept asking himself: ‘I bought her beautiful clothes and bags. I spent all my savings for her seriously ill father, even took my parents" old-age money and struggled with a lot of debts. Was it me who was in the wrong?"
Looking at the attractive young man with bright eyes and a kind heart standing in front of him, Chen Wei was finally convinced that he had done nothing wrong.
Chen Wei handed the written note to Wu Liang with his card number and mobile phone number, and solemnly said, “It is not easy for you to make money at a young age. I will return your money as soon as possible.”
Chen Wei stood up and bid goodbye to Wu Liang.
After he left, Wu Liang was surprised to find that Chen Wei clearly stated on his promissory note that he would pay back with interest.
What a great man, Wu Liang thought.
Chen Wei was gone, so Wu Liang could finally open the mall and take a closer look at what other products were sold in the mall.
After opening the mall, Wu Liang couldn"t help but be speechless. Although there are many items in the mall, only a few were unlocked and exchangeable.
