Summer in Hagawa

Lending money to your younger brother and giving money to your stepfather for medical treatment can be two completely different things if you don't go into the details.Hei Liu couldn't convince himself to help the person who pushed him into the abyss, but he didn't mind at all if his younger brother came to him to borrow money.Hei Yipeng is still a student, as the eldest brother, it is not a big deal for him to give his younger brother some pocket money.As for how Hei Yipeng spent the money... what does it have to do with him?

Hei Liu knew that what Ye Chuan said, "the younger brother asks the older brother to borrow money" was a self-deception.But if you think otherwise, things will go to a dead end.In all fairness, he didn't want to lose Hei Yipeng, nor did he want to disappoint Hei Yipeng because he stood by.He knew that Hei Yipeng had nowhere to go except to look for him.At this moment, he is Hei Yipeng's only hope and also his last reliance.Hei Liu couldn't bear to cut off the last faint hope in his heart.

He had tasted the feeling of being desperate, and he didn't want to throw Hei Yipeng into this pot of boiling oil and suffer it all over again.

In the strange silence, the waiter pushed the dining cart over to serve the dishes.Boiled fish slices, spicy chicken, spicy tofu, twice-cooked pork... are all Hei Yipeng's favorite dishes.Hei Liu suddenly remembered that Hei Yipeng loved to eat chili peppers when he was a child, and every time he ate it, his mouth would turn red, and he would stuff chili peppers into his mouth while sucking...

Hei Liu sighed secretly, leaned over and grabbed Ye Chuan's hand and shook it lightly, "You're right, I was thinking too much."

Ye Chuan heaved a sigh of relief, and a big smile appeared on his face.

Hei Yipeng lowered his head, tears streaming down his face.Shao Kai sat next to him, holding a pair of chopsticks in his hands, with an embarrassed expression on his face.Is this dish meant to be eaten?Still not allowed to eat?

Ye Chuan held back a smile and picked some slices of twice-cooked pork for him, "Eat, eat, it won't taste good when it's cold." Hei Yipeng winked at Shao Kai as he spoke: Hei Yipeng can't steal it from you, Hurry up.

Shao Kai understood, and he and Ye Chuan rounded up their arms and started eating.As soon as the wind swept through the clouds, before Hei Yipeng came back to his senses, there were only a bunch of bean sprouts left in the boiled fish fillet.Hei Yipeng's new affection for Ye Chuan disappeared immediately.Shao Kai grinned with red oily foam, and Hei Liu couldn't help laughing when he saw Hei Yipeng glaring at Ye Chuan like a wronged child.

Forget it.Hei Liu comforted himself in his heart: What are you thinking about so much?Could it be that if Hei Yipeng didn't shed tears and Ye Chuan didn't come out to smooth things over, could he really do nothing?The hatred for that person still hurts his heart, but does he really hate it enough to want him to die?

Hei Liu didn't want Ye Chuan to think that he was so cruel.He is a smart man, and a smart man will never let such a nihilistic thing as hatred destroy the real happiness in front of him.

What about that old saying?Letting others go is tantamount to letting go of yourself.

Hei Liu thought to himself, it's just a sum of money.Lord Tiger once patted him on the shoulder and said something very reasonable: In this world, anything that can be solved with money is nothing serious.

How did Hei Liu deal with Hei Yipeng, Ye Chuan didn't ask any further.Because the date of Ye Shizheng's engagement had already been set, everyone in the Ye family got busy.Although it was said that it was just an engagement, Ye Shizheng was the eldest son of Ye, and this was the first happy event for the Ye family, and the other party was a respectable family in City B, so the Ye family naturally did not dare to neglect.

The engagement wine was placed at the Crown Hotel in the city center. On the day of the engagement, the Ye family booked the largest banquet hall on the third floor.The Crown is the earliest star-rated hotel in the East District. Its scale is not too large. Although it is a bit outdated among the numerous hotels of all sizes today, for the natives of City B, the calm atmosphere of the Crown has always been a bit like a relic of the royal family. Nobility is an irreplaceable symbol of status.Of course, the Ye family, who belonged to the immigrant population, did not know the history of the crown prince.Choosing to entertain guests here is the meaning of the woman's home.The Ye family is [-]% satisfied with this marriage, and naturally agrees to these trivial matters.

Ye Chuan spent almost all of his free time on helping Ye Ningde to register the list or arrange the venue and many other miscellaneous tasks. He was overwhelmed by a bunch of trivial things, and he was not relieved a little until the night before the engagement. tone.The next morning, Ye Shizheng took people to Chen's house to pick up the heroine, and Ye Chuan followed Ye Ningde and his wife to the crown to make final preparations.

Because of his special status, Hei Liu also came here with Ye Chuan.Both were in formal attire.Hei Liu was wearing a black dress with pink and purple flowers on his chest, and Ye Chuan was wearing a white dress with a pink and purple shirt inside.The two of them look very handsome when they stand together.

Hei Liu looked around. Ye Ningde was leaning against the window discussing the details with the master of ceremonies. Qiao Min and a few girlfriends were chatting at the flower table. The women were all dressed up in jewels, and Qiao Min specially changed into a fashionable new hairstyle.Ye Shizheng's assistants were pulling the hotel staff to make the final touches on the details.Although there were quite a few people in the banquet hall, it was well organized.

Hei Liu glanced at his watch, the guests were about to arrive.Hei Liu frowned, leaned over to Ye Chuan's ear and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you see your family Ye Shifei on such an important occasion?"

Ye Chuan glanced at the banquet hall, "Has he not come yet? I don't know."

Hei Liu felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, "Your elder brother is engaged, and he doesn't even show his face?"

"Uncle and aunt didn't mention it, and elder brother didn't mention it either." Ye Chuan scratched his head, "Maybe he followed elder brother to Chen's house to pick up someone?"

Seeing that he was not sure what to say, Hei Liu stopped asking.After the engagement ceremony, there will be a dinner party. At that time, Ye Shifei must show up anyway.

Ye Shifei didn't rush into the banquet hall through the side door until the ceremony started. Hei Liu glanced at the stubble on his chin and the two bruises under his eyes from a distance, and frowned imperceptibly. wrinkled.It seems that the situation of the management company is indeed not good, otherwise, how could the always proud Boss Ye be so haggard.

Hei Liu filtered through the gossip on his desk one by one about the financial affairs one by one in his mind, and vaguely felt that something must have happened between Li Xingzong and Ye Shifei, and it was not the kind of trivial matter that is understated.Otherwise, the "Red Fox", who has pretended to be X to a certain level, would never show up with two dark circles and a disheveled face on such an occasion.

Hei Liu was out of his mind for a while, and the ceremony had already begun.

The procedure of engagement is dispensable to many people, but it is actually similar to a wedding ceremony when it comes to attention.Hei Liu saw a pair of newlyweds dressed in splendid attire, standing on the stage piled up with flowers, following the guidance of the master of ceremonies, serving sweet tea for a while, and arranging incense for a while, his heart moved slightly, and he leaned over and whispered to Ye Chuan beside him: "When you graduate, let's get married too."

Originally thought that Ye Chuan would be moved when he heard this, but he didn't expect the poor boy to roll his eyes at himself after being stunned for a moment, "Isn't that coaxing me to play? Our country's laws don't recognize it."

Hei Liu gritted his teeth with hatred, "You don't know how to say something nice."

"Aren't you greedy to see someone getting engaged?" Ye Chuan glared at him with a smirk on his face.

Hei Liu didn't want him to see that he was mad at him, so he stretched out his hand to pinch his earlobe lightly, and asked him with a smile on his face, "Didn't I already book him out a long time ago? What else is so greedy?" of?"

Ye Chuan hurriedly dodged, an unnatural blush flashed across his cheeks.The earring on his ear has never been taken off since he put it on. His earlobe is sensitive to begin with. Now that he is being molested by him in public, his body reacts immediately.

Hei Liu lowered his head and grinned sullenly, finally winning the round.

The ceremony is over and the meal begins.Ye Chuan followed Ye Shizheng, holding a wine bottle and glass, and toasted to the newcomers at the table.He had never smiled so much in his life, walking around in a circle, he felt the flesh on his cheeks were stiff.Just as he sat down next to Hei Liu, Ye Shifei came over with two glasses of wine before he had eaten two bites of food.

"Come on, Chuan'er." Ye Shifei pulled him up with a firm gesture that could not be refused, "Follow me over there to meet some people."

"Who is it?" Ye Chuan frowned slightly.Ye Shifei used so much force that his arm hurt from being scratched.

"They are all important people in the business circle of City B," Ye Shifei gave him a glass of wine, "You will be a lawyer in the future, and it takes time to cultivate your network."

Hei Liu reached out to stop him, "I think..."

Ye Shifei interrupted him unceremoniously, "Chuan'er is my younger brother, and it's just a toast to a friend with me, isn't it too much?"

Hei Liu frowned, Ye Shifei's tone made him very unhappy.But on the Ye family's happy day, he was not easy to get angry, so he turned his head and told Ye Chuan, "Drink less, don't be arrogant."

Ye Chuan nodded quickly.He understood that Hei Liu wanted to protect him, but Ye Shifei's state was obviously not right, Ye Chuan didn't want to disobey him on such an occasion, and he didn't want the two of them to have any disputes.If not, he could tell Ye Shifei about his connections in city B, and Hei Liu has more say than him.

The time and the occasion were wrong, if there was a quarrel, the Ye family would lose face.

Hei Liu watched with cold eyes, and saw Ye Shifei leading Ye Chuan through the hall, all the way to the table near the terrace.There are indeed a few familiar faces in the seat, but in Hei Liu's view, such a network...is really worthless to grow slowly.Hei Liu has always believed that human energy is limited, not to mention that Ye Chuan is a lawyer and not a public relations officer. Instead of spending his energy on a bunch of minions, it is better to allocate time to build a good relationship with the higher-ups wholeheartedly.

Hei Liu was not sure what Ye Shifei was thinking, what he could see, would Ye Shifei not see it?However, Ye Shifei's actions just now have offended him, and Hei Liu is not such a tolerant person.

Hei Liu tapped lightly on the wine glass with his fingers.He is willing to give Ye Shifei some face, just because he is Ye Chuan's second brother, if he doesn't care about this important relationship...

Hei Liu sneered, then he didn't have to be so polite.
