mild compromise

"Where have you been all these years?"

"After graduating from studying abroad, I found a financial-related job and worked for others. After I accumulated some contacts and experience, I came out to start a company with my friends. Later, I made some money and used it for other investments, and gradually accumulated. I have raised some capital." Xiao Chenghao said, "Actually, I went back to China to look for you several times, but you are no longer in this city, and I have been unable to find you."

"By the way, what about you, how have you been these past few years?"

"I live with my uncle, and when I grow up, I will move out to support myself." Guan Meng said concisely, and there were many things he didn't want to mention. In fact, his life has not been very good in the past few years. He became a network anchor, and his life improved a little.

Xiao Chenghao really wanted to know what Guan Meng had gone through, but since Guan Meng was unwilling to take the initiative to speak out, he felt it was better not to ask further questions for the time being, and to talk about it later when there was a suitable time.

"misty"

"Ok?"

"Come and name the foal at our stable."

"I named it?" Guan Meng was a little surprised.

Xiao Chenghao nodded, "Yes, you name it, and this name will appear on its registration information in the future, and accompany it for life."

With a flash of inspiration, Guan Meng suddenly thought of a name, "How about calling it "Chunnuanhuakai"? "

Because it was born in the warm spring, when flowers bloom and spring back to the earth, everything is revived and life is endless, and everything is a new beginning.

The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, Xiao Chenghao smiled and murmured, it is really a good name for the occasion.

ACT25

When he was going to work in the morning, Guan Meng saw a group of men besieging the entrance of the gallery. They were all tall and big, with fierce expressions, and dressed in a distinctive underworld style. They spoke in a rough voice, like a quarrel, and the passers-by around saw them and took a detour.

Guan Meng stopped more than ten meters before the entrance of the gallery. Unknown to him, he was a little worried about being involved in unnecessary trouble, and was hesitating whether to go there. Le Zai, who was squatting at the door smoking a cigarette, saw Guan Meng and stood up. Lai waved at him and shouted: "Xiaoguan! You are here, the boss is looking for you!"

Seeing Guan Meng pestle not moving, Le Zai urged: "Don't stand still, come quickly!"

Guan Meng had always thought that "boss" was just a common name for Lao Cai by Le Zai, but what he didn't expect was that the "boss" in Le Zai's mouth turned out to be the boss in the sense of the underworld.

At this time, Lao Cai was sitting on a grand chair in the back room of the gallery with his legs crossed, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and a row of young men behind him stood neatly with their waists upright, looking like they were ready to die, really a leader of the school Guy's posture.

There were two men standing in the center of the hall. When Guan Meng's gaze met one of the men, he was suddenly stunned.

"Fang Jin?!" Guan Meng's voice was filled with surprise.

The appearance of Guan Meng also caught Fang Jin by surprise, his shock was written all over his face, Fang Jin opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something to Guan Meng, but in the end, he closed his mouth again, saying nothing explain.Guan Meng noticed that Fang Jin had bruises and bruises on his face, neck and hands.The man standing next to Fang Jin was also familiar to Guan Meng. He was Fang Jin's boyfriend Lin Jian.

A few days ago, when Xiao Chenghao learned about Fang Jin from Guan Meng, he immediately asked someone to search for Fang Jin's whereabouts. The other party was very efficient and found Fang Jin in just one day. , And find out the reason behind its borrowing money.

It turned out that Fang Jin’s boyfriend, Lin Jian, had lost millions of dollars because of gambling. In order to repay the debt, Lin Jian had to ask people to borrow money. The debt was still far away, and in the end Fang Jin was forced by Lin Jian to have no choice but to bite the bullet and borrow money from Guan Meng on the grounds that his family was seriously ill.

Coincidentally, Hifi, Lin Jian's creditor, is Lao Cai's old friend in the Shengyi Club. While Xiao Chenghao was looking for Fang Jin, Hifi was also "wanted" for Lin Jian all over the city. After some communication, Hifi reluctantly agreed. Before Guan Meng's matter is resolved, hand over the person to Lao Cai.

"Xiao Guan, I found them for you, what do you want to do with them now?" Lao Cai took a puff of his cigarette, shook his fingers, and flicked the cigarette butt onto the floor.

Guan Meng pointed to the bruises on Fang Jin's body, and asked Lao Cai, "What are these injuries?"

Lao Cai didn't take it seriously, squinting his eyes and spewing smoke into the air, "He was beaten by his gambling boyfriend, we never did anything to him."

Guan Meng glanced at Lin Jian who stood timidly at the side, then looked at Fang Jin, "Is it true?"

Fang Jin hesitated for a long time before telling Guan Meng the truth.

After he borrowed 15 yuan from Guan Meng that day, he felt guilty and uneasy. He struggled repeatedly for several days and began to regret what he had done. When he decided to return the 15 yuan to Guan Meng, Lin Jian strongly opposed it, and the two quarreled.Lin Jian was afraid that others would know about his debts, so he asked Fang Jin to cut off all contact with Guan Meng. In the end, Lin Jian forcefully took away Fang Jin's mobile phone, blocked Guan Meng, and even imprisoned Fang Jin in his cell phone. violence against him in his residence.

"Meng Meng, I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..." Fang Jin's eyes were red, and he apologized to Guan Meng over and over again with a trembling cry. He knew that he was wrong and deceived himself for a scumbag who was not worth entrusting The best friend, betrayed Guan Meng's trust in him, but when he repented, it was too late, what should have happened had happened long ago,

It's really unlucky to have such a boyfriend, but that doesn't mean that Fang Jin is innocent.Looking at Fang Jin who was crying bitterly in front of him, Guan Meng's heart was also complicated. Even though he knew that the other party was sincerely apologizing to himself, he still couldn't completely forgive Fang Jin for what he had done.

After standing still and thinking for a while, Guan Meng turned to Lao Cai and asked, "Boss, can you let my friend go?"

Lao Cai frowned, "Are you sure?"

Guan Meng nodded.

"He can let go, but the other one can't." Lao Cai pointed to Lin Jian next to him, "The debt that guy owes has not been repaid."

After taking Fang Jin out of it, Guan Meng's first sentence was not to ask him where the 15 yuan went, but Fang Jin said: "Don't be with that kind of man again, it's not worth it."

Fang Jin, who had just cried a while ago, was poked again because of Guan Meng's words, and couldn't help it again, hugged Guan Meng and cried loudly.

In fact, Guan Meng was still very angry. He really wanted to scold Fang Jin, scold him for deceiving himself, and wanted to tell him that he would not act as if nothing happened, and would not forgive his actions easily, but he finally swallowed his words back. in stomach.

Xiao Chenghao asked Guan Meng to have dinner together, and when he got off work in the evening, Xiao Chenghao drove over to pick up Guan Meng.

"Brother Chenghao"

"what happened?"

"Do you think I'm a saint?"

Xiao Chenghao found it funny, "Why do you say that?"

Guan Meng told Xiao Chenghao depressingly what happened in the morning, and he sighed, "Well, Fang Jin is not that kind of wicked person, he didn't really cheat my money and run away, and when I saw When he was covered in injuries by his boyfriend, I couldn't bear it, and felt that he was actually quite pitiful, meeting such a scumbag."

"This kind of thing is often a fan of the authorities. If he doesn't take the initiative to break this relationship, as outsiders, it's useless for us to persuade him." Xiao Chenghao stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Guan Meng's limp hair. Brown hair, "Compared with other people, you should pay more attention to your own affairs in the future."

"For example, is it a lifelong event?" Guan Meng said with a smile.

"Do you want me to introduce you by saying that?" Xiao Chenghao also deliberately joked with him.

Guan Meng thought that Xiao Chenghao was really thinking about introducing a partner to him, so he hurriedly laughed and said, "Forget it, my living habits are so bad, I don't think anyone will think highly of me."

"There will be." Xiao Chenghao whispered while holding the steering wheel, staring straight at the road ahead.

The place to eat was a private club located in the Villa Villa. It was the first time for Guan Meng to come to this kind of place. He looked around curiously and felt very fresh about everything around him.

"Is the food here delicious?"

"You'll know if you try it." Xiao Chenghao handed him a menu card for him to read.

Every dish on the menu is very attractive, but Guan Meng found a problem, "Why is there no price on it?"

"It's okay, just order what you like to eat."

Guan Meng thinks that Xiao Chenghao is very good at this point, he always treats guests so generously, and he doesn't care about the price at all.

"Then what do you want to eat?"

"Just order me an extra serving of whatever you eat, I want the same as you."

"Good~"

After the food was served, the two were eating while chatting, when suddenly a hand was placed on Xiao Chenghao's shoulder.

"What a coincidence? You also come here for dinner!" Lin Tianruo, who was wearing a gray suit, pulled a chair next to him and sat down with a smile. His eyes lingered on Guan Meng, who was opposite Xiao Chenghao, and sized him up for a while. Afterwards, with some curiosity, Lin Tianruo took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Guan Meng, "Hi, I'm Ah Hao's friend, what's your name?"

"My name is Guan Meng."

Lin Tianruo didn't hear Xiao Chenghao mention this person, "You and Ah Hao just met?"

Xiao Chenghao was the first to answer for Guan Meng: "I have known him for a long time."

Then he introduced to Guan Meng: "Mengmeng, this guy who doesn't look serious is called Lin Tian
