You Liangchen asked, "Have you gone to see your father?"

Huo Zian relayed his father's words, including the conditions raised by his father, and he told You Liangchen exactly.

You Liangchen sneered: "That's awesome. What are you going to do?"

"What else? The matter of fake wine, no matter whether there is someone behind it or not, in short, we made a mistake, and we can only bear the consequences. The borrowed money, tear down the east wall and pay the west wall, and I will see if I can do it." Ask someone to borrow part of it, let’s spend these two months before we talk.”

You Liangchen didn't say any words of comfort, and said directly: "Well, if you can hold it, you will hold it, if you can't hold it, you will fall down."

"That's right." Huo Zian said with a smile: "It's a big deal to give up the new restaurant. The rent, manpower, and maintenance costs of the new restaurant are all very expensive. After the new restaurant is over, our funds will not be under so much pressure. Go back to your own yard Well, I can go back to the kitchen as before."

Huo Zian said it lightly, but You Liangchen knew that Huo Zian was not reconciled after all. He worked so hard to manage the restaurant well, and it was the time when he was most energetic, but he was thrown back to the original point, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.He thought for a while: "My mother has money, why don't you ask her?"

Huo Zian has also thought about this, but he still has a concern, "I thought about asking her, but before I speak, let's explain our relationship to her clearly."

"It's clear, is she still willing to borrow it?"

"If you don't borrow it, you don't borrow it. I hope she will take out the money and use it to invest in restaurants. I believe that I can make money for her, not because of any human relationship." He always wanted to compare Aunt Kong's interests with the relationship between them. He tied his feelings together, thinking that this would restrain Aunt Kong, but after this confrontation with his father, he was tired of confusing money with feelings. As long as interests were involved, all feelings would become unclear.

You Liangchen felt that Aunt Kong would not agree, but Huo Zian would try it if he wanted to; up to now, concealing his relationship with Zi'an has become a self-deception, everyone is pretending not to know, or spying , or testing... This makes him particularly uneasy.

The preparation of dinner was about to start, and the two stood up, ready to go back to the restaurant.Huo Zian said worriedly: "Good day, no matter what the result is..."

Knowing what he was going to ask, You Liangchen silently walked over and hugged him.

No matter what the outcome, he wouldn't change his mind - why the fuck was he asking?

Occupancy was halved that night, and there had never been so many empty tables since the restaurant opened.

Fortunately, the fake wine incident seems to have subsided.There were no more comments about this matter on the Internet, perhaps because Youdelou's public relations have been helping them control public opinion, the positive news about the restaurant has doubled.

Although Huo Zian didn't agree with this method, he couldn't deny that it really made him breathe a sigh of relief.

He started borrowing money everywhere.There were not many rich and powerful people in his circle of friends, so he collected 80 million yuan here and there, and it was over.He thought over and over again, and finally called Li Xiaonan.Without further ado, Li Xiaonan agreed to lend him 100 million.

Huo Zian said cheekily, Lao Li, I took the money, but I don't know when I can pay it back.

Li Xiaonan was silent for a while, and then laughed, hey, no one's money comes for nothing, if you don't pay, you will pay for it!If you don’t have any money, you can offer yourself and go back to Shanghai to work for me until you feel good about it!

Huo Zian was in a hurry to spend money, so he agreed to sell himself.

In this way, he can last at least two months.But what about two months later?His money was useless, and the expansion of the wine cellar and the purchase of a new batch of wine were almost spent.It was the end of the year, and there were many requests for year-end dinners. Huo Zi'an brought in a lot of expensive ingredients. Now that many reservations have been cancelled, these ingredients will have to be thrown away, which is another loss.

Moreover, it is not known how long this situation will last.The restaurant was expensive, and if he couldn't break even, he'd have to keep filling the void.Losses can snowball and quickly become unaffordable.Huo Zi felt at ease, it would actually not take too long to get to this point...

After he finished the call to borrow money, he was depressed, so he called his mother to complain.

He avoided the part about his father and briefly told his mother what had happened recently.After she finished listening quietly, she asked, "Are you planning to borrow money from Liangchen's mother?"

"Well, she always wanted to invest in restaurants, but if she knew that I was with Liangchen, she might turn her face right away. I don't know if I can convince her."

Zi'an's mother comforted him a few words and told him to rest well, everything will work out.

The next morning, she came to You's yard alone.Huo Zian was surprised when he saw his mother.

She smiled and said: "Little friend, let the adults handle the matter. You don't need to find Liangchen's mother, let me talk to her."

Huo Zian disagreed desperately.Zi'an's mother said: "You can talk about borrowing money yourself. I'm talking about you and Liang Chen. Since she thinks that the child's emotional relationship must be approved by the parents, then this is a negotiation between our elders. You go Busy about her own affairs, whether she agrees or not, I will tell her what you think."

Huo Zian was so moved, he put his arms around his mother, hesitantly said: "If she says something nasty..."

"How could it be?" Zi'an's mother said with a smile: "We are talking about how to make children happy, you have to have confidence, huh?"

Huo Zian nodded.

Aunt Kong was surprised to see Zi'an's mother come to visit specially, and had a bad premonition in her heart.Her first reaction was to find a reason to avoid it, but Zi'an's mother sat beside her calmly, not giving her a chance to escape.

Aunt Kong is a playful person, but she is lawless, and she is not afraid of anyone.But she was a little afraid of Zi'an's mother.Because Zi'an's mother speaks softly, has steady eyes, and has a leisurely demeanor. A person with this kind of temperament is either born in a particularly noble family or has a wealth of knowledge.She can offend rich and powerful people, but she dare not offend people who have really seen the world.

Zi'an's mother smiled, and said straight to the point: "I came to you for Zi'an. You should know that Zi'an and Liangchen are together."

A bazooka exploded in Aunt Kong's mind!She looked straight at Zi'an's mother with shock in her eyes.

Zi'an's mother: "Oh, you don't know. Or you guessed it, but you're not sure? The two of them have been together for half a year."

It was not easy for Aunt Kong to regain her breath, and stammered: "I know... I don't know... Anyway... No way! How could the two of them do this!"

Her breathing became easier, and her anger also came up. She felt that the behavior of the two of them was simply heinous.But in front of Zi'an's mother, she had to maintain a certain dignity and courtesy, so she endured and said, "I asked them, and they said no!"

"They were afraid that you would be unhappy, so they didn't tell you the truth," Zi'an's mother said indifferently, "but parents are parents after all, so they can't hide it for the rest of their lives, right?"

Aunt Kong blinked, feeling that her eyes were extremely sore: "Why are they so shameless! I disagree!" She stared at Zi'an's mother: "What are you talking about with me, what's the point of talking about this, I don't Will agree!"

Zi'an's mother: "I don't agree either."

"Huh?!" Aunt Kong didn't expect Zi'an's mother to say that, and asked in confusion, "Don't you agree? I thought Zi'an asked you to come... come..." She couldn't find the right words for a while, and said it was "propose marriage" "It's not right either.

"I don't agree. I only have one child, Zi'an. I hope he can have a stable family and have a few lovely children like others. I don't want him to have a same-sex partner, have no guarantee of marriage, and be discriminated against. .”

"That's right! We don't agree, so let's go and persuade the two of them. What kind of future can the two men have? Let's break up as soon as possible."

But Zi'an's mother said: "No, I don't want to persuade them, I just want to persuade you - I don't agree with them being together, but what does it matter if we don't agree, they have decided to be together, no matter what , they won't listen to us."

Aunt Kong couldn't accept it: "Why don't you listen! They must listen, this is not buying clothes and eating noodles."

"Sister, if you don't believe me, you can try it. You tell him to break up now, and he turns around and takes his luggage and leaves. He is such a big man, can you beat him up, or lock him at home?"

Aunt Kong couldn't answer.It's not like she didn't know that she was screwed by Liangchen, and she had been fighting with the outside for three years, but she didn't say a soft word.The son doesn't talk much, and he seems to do everything casually, but he has to make a decision, which cannot be brought back by thousands of troops.

Zi'an's mother said again: "I can't do anything about Zi'an. He has been used to being free these years, and he lives well by himself. But then again, he has always taken good care of himself and never needs me to worry about it. I believe he can Every decision I make is deliberate and accepts the consequences."

Aunt Kong was very depressed: "Then what do you mean? After all, you are trying to persuade me to agree."

"I'm not asking you to agree, I'm urging you to accept the reality."

"No! This is not reality. In reality, when two men live together, the big guy will call them Mr. Rabbit, and no one will look down on them."

"That's their business."

Aunt Kong's eyes widened: "It's not their business. He grew up in this courtyard. His long face is the face of our parents, and the embarrassment is also our family's embarrassment!"

Zi'an's mother shook her head: "Sister, no, our children are not ashamed at all. What's wrong with them? They are upright, work hard, and treat their families well. What's there to be ashamed of? Who wants to talk behind their backs? They, that's not normal."

Aunt Kong let out an "ah" sound: "Juan, you have been abroad, I don't know what people here think. It's not normal not to talk about it!"

"Then there is no other way, let them go abroad."

"No!" Aunt Kong was anxious, and quickly protested, "Why can't they be like others and find a girl to benefit from?"

Zi'an's mother grabbed her hand and said in a more emphatic tone: "That's the truth! We don't understand and can't change the facts. Why don't you two live here? If you really can't tolerate it, you two will go abroad. The result is the same Yes, it depends on whether you want your son to stay with you or not."

Zi'an's mother's words slipped through Aunt Kong's heart like the tip of a knife.Her words are calm, objective and cruel - in the final analysis, there is no room for choice at all, no matter what she thinks, Yu Liangchen will not be swayed by her.

Aunt Kong was heartbroken because she knew that Zi'an's mother hadn't bluffed her.She had already come to this conclusion secretly. For these days, she endured confusion and did not dare to break up with them because she realized that she didn't have a bargaining chip to check and balance them—did she hang herself after crying?For whom to cry, for whom to die?My son has also learned to be smart recently. When he saw her crying, he turned his head and ran away. Her audience is gone. Who is the tragic figure for?Aunt Kong is not used to living her life in misery.

Aunt Kong survived the burst of sadness, and her calculating brain finally came to work.Her drooping beautiful lips curled into a hard and cold arc, and then she said, "I won't accept this matter. If you say it today, just pretend you didn't say it. From now on, I... just open your eyes and close your eyes." For one thing, I can't control them if they are together, but don't think that I will wish them well!"

Zi'an's mother smiled, she knew this was the best result she could get.
