Continued Love - Chap 20
Chap 20
Brother and Dignity
Cheng Xu is already forty years old, but because of proper care, he looks like he is in his 20s or 30s. Unlike the beautiful Cheng Jin, his appearance is gentle and elegant, and he looks like a gentleman. Before the Cheng family went bankrupt, he took care of most of the things, so although he looked polite, he was actually quite tough. He has always been unmarried. Cheng Jin saw that he had been in love a few times, and he had been intimacy with different women a few times. When he thought he wanted to have a sister-in-law, the result was nothing. He never cared about this kind of thing. After all, to him, his brother is his. If he spoils others, he will probably be jealous. When I become more sensible, I will realize that I regret that my brother is alone and no one is by his side to take care of and accompany him.
Hearing his question, Cheng Xu panicked for a while, and soon showed a gentle smile again, “Why did you suddenly ask about that bead?”
“I, I have an urgent need, now I need one. Brother, do you know who the buyer is? I, I hope I can buy one from the other party.” Cheng Jin seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw. He said, “I took an order a few days ago and I used that kind of crystal beads, but I accidentally missed one, and I couldn’t find it anywhere. I, I don’t know what to do…”
As he talked, he wanted to cry. When facing his closest brother, all his strength was removed, and his eye circles were a little red.
Cheng Xu said warmly: “Good treasure, don’t worry, I will get one back for you, can you wait? Can I give it to you tomorrow?”
Hearing these words, Cheng Jin fell to the ground and nodded desperately, saying: “Yes, you can, you can tomorrow.”
Cheng Xu smiled, “That’s good, don’t cry, don’t worry, I’ll take it to you tomorrow.” He paused, and then asked, “Is it okay for me to go there?”
“Yes! Of course it’s okay!” Cheng Jin nodded hurriedly, and smiled again, “We haven’t seen each other for a long time, you come over tomorrow, and I will give you something to eat.” He paused before thinking of something.” Brother, what are you doing now? Where did you go? Are you tired?” He quickly thought of the value of the bead, and said in a flustered manner: “And is it really okay to get it back? Your balance must be insufficient, right? I’ll transfer all of my money to you.” He hurried to transfer the money, Cheng Xu stopped his action, and said: “Don’t worry, I also saved some money, and my balance is enough.”
Cheng Jin is no longer like Cheng Jin in the past. Cheng Jin in the past believed everything his brother said was true, but now he knows that everything is not that simple. Although his elder brother is very capable, he is deprived of his civil rights. There is no legitimate high-paying job on this planet, and he usually bears the medical expenses of their father. It must have been very hard. Cheng Jin still wanted to ask in detail, but thinking that it’s a communication now, it’s hard to ask clearly, it’s better to wait until tomorrow to meet and then talk, and say: “Okay, I, I will look for it again, if I find it, I will tell you immediately. You don’t have to spend more money.”
“good.”
After hanging up the communication, Cheng Jin felt that his behavior was too impulsive. He shouldn’t embarrass his brother in order to save his face. This should be his second choice after the end of the road. After all, he knew that his elder brother would be willing to endure any suffering for him, and now he does not want his brother to suffer for himself.
Since he can lose his dignity for his father and himself, why can’t he?
And saying, “Even if the fog is taken away, he will definitely not return me.” Since I haven’t tried it, how can I make a rash decision?
I just knew I would be humiliated by Lianwu, so I deliberately avoided it.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jin clenched his fists, bit his lip, and then made up his mind. He got into the car neatly, and when he got into the car, he sent a message to Andy: “where is the address of Master Lian Wu? I am going to apologize.”
Young masters and ladies who often buy luxury goods usually ask shop assistants to deliver goods. As the shop manager, Andy must know the address of Lianwu.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long before Andy sent the address, along with Lianwu’s communication access code. Looking at that string of words, Cheng Jin still felt weak in his heart. Since he fell into disbelief, he has been deliberately keeping a distance from his past friends. Of course, he does not need to do this. Others will naturally forget him, at best. People who like to fall into trouble will also deliberately ask—I heard that your partner’s status is not very high? Why don’t you save your home?
Facing this kind of ridicule, Cheng Jin never dared to respond. When he married Lu Tao, Lu Tao was an ordinary military academy graduate. Because of Lu Tao’s wishes, they did not hold a wedding. Cheng Jin’s father and brother also deliberately ignored this “son-in-law” and never talked about him. So even those who played better with Cheng Jin at that time never knew the identity of his husband. And his high-profile pursuit of Lu Tao was later covered up by his other deeds. Cheng Jin felt bad for Lu Tao and was afraid to annoy him, so he didn’t mention his husband, but occasionally created a kind of “husband.” The illusion of “he love me very much” came.
And after he fell down, he never said that Lu Tao was not in front of others. After all, their basic social interaction has been cut off since then.
He is afraid of people mentioning his past, and he is even more afraid to face the objects he has bullied before. After all, those who were not as good as him are now living happily. Only he is stuck in the mire, seeming to be living a long way, just waiting. Once the adult is sober and divorced from him, he will leave this land completely, and since then live two different levels. Others will be glamorous for a lifetime, and he can never turn over.
Cheng Jin suddenly felt that this might be his retribution.
The young master didn’t understand. When he threatened people before, he didn’t know how many times he had said such things as “bring your family bankrupt and let your family get out of the empire planet”, but now, instead, he himself is about to confirm this sentence.
Cheng Jin drove to the residence where Lian Wu stayed with her husband. The empire planet is vast and sparsely populated, and the welfare for the officers is very good. Even when Wu married her husband, he was already a major general, so the allocated house was very good in terms of size and location. Unlike Cheng Jin and Lu Tao, both of them were ordinary people when they got married. The assigned house still depends on the Cheng family. The geographical location is good. The area is actually not large. After upgrading once, it is no better than the one in front of you. The house looks luxurious. But in fact, as a general, Lu Tao can still apply for high-allocation real estate, but he did not use this right.
Looking at the house in front of him, the Cheng family felt nervous, but still dialed Lianwu’s communicator. After a short period of time, Lian Wu switched on the communicator, and the moment he saw his figure, the Cheng family’s breathing was chaotic, and a sense of shame rushed over his face, making him almost speechless.
Lian Wu suddenly laughed, as if he had seen some interesting business, “Master Cheng? It’s really strange, what are you looking for?”
Cheng Jin has plucked up his courage, but his momentum is still weak, “Master Lian, I, I want to ask you, did you accidentally take away a bead when I saw that dress today? It’s blue. , Very beautiful crystal beads.”
“Take it away by accident?” The smile in Lian Wu’s eyes slowly dissipated and turned into a sullen, “What do you mean? You mean I stole a bead from you?”
Cheng Jin was taken aback, and quickly said, “I, I didn’t mean that…” He was not clever. In fact, he felt that his wording was inappropriate when he said it, but when his brain got hot, he still said it like this.
“Then what do you mean? You think I stole something” Lian Wu sneered, “Are you still thinking that your Cheng family is the Cheng family in the past? So arrogant!”
“I, I’m not…” Cheng Jin’s face turned pale, and suddenly regretted his impulse.
He is so useless, even if he wants to work hard, the direction seems to have been wrong.
Lian Wu sneered a few times. Suddenly his smile turned into joy. When the camera turned, there were two bright blue beads lying in his palms, which were exactly the same as Miss Qi’s box of beads. Even the fog said: “I don’t have the beads, but I didn’t steal it from you. After all, this is not a rare thing.”
Cheng Jin was stunned. If he had only one, of course he could doubt him, but he clearly had two in his hand… Cheng Jin had to apologize hard, “I’m sorry, sorry, I said something wrong, I didn’t say you stole it from me. I’m wrong, I- I have an urgent need now, can you sell one to me?”
Lian Wu said: “Come in and talk.” He turned off the communicator.
After a short while, the locked door opened automatically, and Cheng Jin hesitated for a moment, but walked in resolutely.
The room is large, and the decoration style is not the general high-tech style, but very luxurious decoration. All the decorations are very expensive. There are heavy carpets on the floor and many decorations on the walls. The most are shiny things. Among them, there are one or two things. Cheng Jin looked a little familiar.
It’s like something that has been sold by myself.
He was about to examine it carefully, and even the fog’s voice sounded from behind, “Why? You want to touch something when you see something good? Im telling you, now is not the time to get what you want.”
Cheng Jin trembled all over, and quickly retracted his hand, turned his head to look at Lianwu, and shook his head in a panic, “I, I didn’t want to touch…”
Lian Wu smiled mockingly and sat down on the large and comfortable sofa without any intention of inviting Cheng Jin to sit down. He put a blue bead on the table, raised his chin, “is this what you want?”
Cheng Jin’s gaze was instantly attracted by the bead, he nodded vigorously, and said in embarrassment, “I only have one hundred thousand balance in my account. I’ll give it all to you. Can you sell it to me?”
“One hundred thousand?” Lian Wu sneered, “you don’t even know the price of this kind of beads?”
Cheng Jin was stunned. He remembered that it was fifty thousand when he sold it, because his brother transferred him a balance of 15 million. The cost of my father’s surgery at that time was sky-high, and the money did not last long. He thought he paid twice as much and he should be able to buy this bead.
Lian Wu continued to sneer and said, “This batch of beads was fifty thousand when it was first auctioned. After so many years, they have changed hands so many times. Now the price has risen tenfold. What is the use of your 100,000? ”
Cheng Jin was frightened. The young master didn’t have any idea about money before. Anyway, he could afford everything he wanted. Later, when he ran out of money, he realized how difficult it is to make money, and he automatically learned to be frugal. Cheng Jin stammered: “Well, how much does that cost…”
“I’m not short of money.” Lian Wu laughed, “Let’s do it, I will give you the beads, but you will be my servant for the day at the orange blossom banquet.” He smiled triumphantly and happily, “Master Cheng Everyone knows that you have participated in the Orange Blossom Banquet several times. Most people know your appearance, right? You will be my servant. I will definitely have a wonderful day. It’s comparable. Precious Chinese clothes are going to shine.”
