"What?"
When I heard Old Gao's words, my hand shook and I knocked down all the glasses on the table.
I never expected that my mother would give Old Gao the money and then Old Gao would gamble.
"Xing Yun, I don't want to hide it from you now. Your mother called me to pay me back." Old Gao said, "When you ran to wei cai, you didn't want our money, but I still secretly gave your mother some money and told her not to tell you."
Old Gao's words surprised me again. I could hardly speak.
I didn't expect to pull out such a secret again!
I looked at Old Gao and the corners of my mouth twitched uncontrollably. I never thought that he would give my parents some money after all.
And I didn't expect that when my mother returned the money to Old Gao, he would gamble with it again.
Did it all start with me?
If I hadn't been in trouble, Old Gao wouldn't have lent me money, and my mother wouldn't have paid him back, then Old Gao probably wouldn't have had the money to gamble, and that wouldn't have happened today.
My heart suddenly became very depressed, because my matter, I don't know how many people involved!
My heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable!
Old Gao continued, "I didn't gamble because I was addicted to gambling, but because I wanted to gamble to vent and suppress the pain in my heart. At that time, I was alone, like a ghost. I really wanted to die, you know? That taste was too bad, so I wanted to ease the pain in my heart through gambling, and then I started to lose money and borrow money. Do you know? When I gamble, I don't think about winning, I think about losing."
"Really, I don't want to win, I just want to lose. Because losing money can give me an indescribable pleasure, do you understand?"
I know what Old Gao is thinking. He wants to ease the pain in his heart by losing money. In fact, he wants to degenerate in this way so that he doesn't live like a ghost or a human. In fact, just like when I was drunk, it was a way to numb myself.
"That's it. I owe old zhou four hundred thousand." Old Gao continued, "At that time, I was desperate again, but I had no face to face anyone. Then Xing Yun and Guzheng found me."
At this moment, I remembered the scene when I found Old Gao. He ran away when he saw us. He probably felt ashamed to see us.
Knowing the truth of everything, I couldn't help but sigh.
Old Gao had gone through so many twists and turns all of a sudden that I didn't blame him for all the 400,000 he owed in gambling. In my opinion, I was especially happy that he didn't gamble because he was addicted to gambling. I was especially afraid that he would become addicted to gambling. If that was the case, we wouldn't even be friends.
After speaking, Old Gao suddenly relaxed a lot, which was also a good thing to talk about. Telling us these things, he didn't feel so stressed anymore.
It was not uncommon for him to get sick even if he kept these things in his heart.
The three of us fell silent again. Hu Zi and Old Gao both lit up a cigarette and smoked. I felt very confused, so I also asked them for a cigarette.
I walked to the backyard and squatted there alone, smoking a cigarette.
I don't like smoking. At this moment, I just want to find something to ease my mood. But I also seem to understand why both Hu Zi and Old Gao can't live without cigarettes. This kind of thing is not good for people's health at all, but sometimes people are just too helpless, so I want to use something to relieve, relax, and numb them.
Just then, my cell phone suddenly rang.
It was Ding Ge.
I just remembered that I called her when I said things were settled. Now she probably called because she was worried.
I put out the cigarette, calmed down, and then answered the phone.
"Xing Yun, what happened? Is it still unsolved?" Ding Ge sounded worried.
I couldn't help but feel ashamed, but at this moment I had to lie and say, "No, it's settled. It's settled. It's just a little awkward with the guests. It's all right now."
Are you still at the restaurant? I'm not sure. Why don't I go see you now?"
"No, no!" I was worried. Of course, I couldn't let Ding Ge come over right now. I had to keep this from her. "It's really okay. Don't worry. It's okay. I'm either talking to Old Gao or I forgot to call you back."
I explained a few more things to Ding Ge. Although she was still a little worried, she didn't come to see me again. Then we ended the call.
When I returned to the hall, Hu Zi asked me again, "Can you borrow money?"
To be honest, I wasn't 100 % sure either, but in order not to worry them, I had to say, "Don't worry, no problem. Now that the three of us have a hundred thousand dollars in each piece, we can borrow another three hundred thousand."
Hu Zi nodded and said, "Yes, three hundred thousand. We can pay the bill in a few months."
Old Gao's face was full of shame and pain, "I'm sorry for both of you! Even if it's returned, I should return it myself. How can I let you two return it?"
"Don't go out with us. Just don't keep anything from us in the future, okay?" Hu Zi smiled.
Old Gao nodded heavily again.
I said to the two of them, "You two can leave this alone. Just leave it to me."
How could the two of us really be at ease? Their faces were still very solemn, and then the three of us went to the backyard to rest.
I lay on the floor, but I wasn't sleepy at all.
There were too many things that happened today.
Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the money just now to find dinger to get back together. Who knew that at the last step, my plan was disrupted again.
At this moment, thinking that the bald-headed knife almost fell on my hand, I still have lingering fear. I definitely don't want to experience it again.
Old Gao's story made my heart full of emotions, and it was hard to contain them. I always feel like it's all because of me, so I have the responsibility to solve the problem now.
At the same time, I felt a thousand emotions in my heart. I didn't expect that we were all deceived by Wang Mengmeng. When Old Gao gave Wang Mengmeng her birthday, the tears on her face were still fresh in my memory. Who would have thought that she was only doing it for Old Gao's money!
I can't help but wonder, is money that important to Wang Mengmeng?
Because of the money, she could not help but deceive Old Gao, and it could be said that she also deceived all of Guzheng's best friends, she deceived too many people.
Is there really such a cruel person in the world?
I think there should be!
Sometimes, human nature is really the dirtiest thing in the world.
Sometimes we try so hard to find out the truth, but we don't expect the truth to be the last thing we want to see.
After all that Old Gao had gone through, he could still see that he had not come out yet. His injuries were no less painful than Hu Zi's.
I sighed in the dark.
At first, both of them were very happy. Why did they become like this?
Moreover, all of these things can not be separated from the word'money', and now it is related to the fate of all of us. Whether the Xingyun hotel can save enough depends on whether they can borrow 300,000 tomorrow.
In fact, under the circumstances at that time, I was already thinking about it.
Not many people could lend me money, not many could lend me 300,000 at once.
Family, I can't ask my parents and aunt for money anymore. As for my friends, there aren't many who can lend me money. Now that the three of us are in trouble, who can we ask for help?
Ding Ge, I will never borrow it!
I am a particularly stubborn person, and there is absolutely no room for discussion about this!
And Ding Ge certainly didn't have 300,000 yuan, so there was no use looking for her.
Lin Ya should have saved some money, but the point is that now that she has resigned and is going to start a photography shop and a cake shop, she will need more money than we do. She could borrow some money without resigning. She really couldn't open her mouth after resigning.
Ji Ze? Lin Ya's ex-boyfriend, we're friends. But he couldn't open his mouth to borrow money from him, because the friendship between them was too shallow. Lin Ya said that Ji Ze's three million may not be able to get back, and I really don't want to owe him any more favors.
Di Ming, a rich man he just met, politely said that he could help if he had something to do. But if I really asked for 300,000 yuan just after I met him, I would definitely be called a psychopath. After all, we just met by chance.
When I came across borrowing money, I finally understood how difficult it was for my parents at that time. Thinking about the way they borrowed money for me, I felt as if I was about to die.
Of all the people I know, if the one who is most likely to lend me 300,000 is Guzheng.
Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that she is the only one I can find!
In fact, I really don't want to owe Guzheng anything, especially money, and I don't want to owe her anything! But there was really nothing I could do now. I really didn't want to talk to her until I had to, because it would make me feel so shameless. I didn't like people borrowing money, so what am I?
But I can't care too much, because this time it's too serious! And I dare to borrow money from her because the restaurant is doing well and I can pay her back in a few months.
But I dare to borrow, and I can't guarantee that Guzheng will lend me money!
After all, it wasn't her that was really rich, but her parents. I suddenly remembered what Guzheng said to me in the past. If I were with her, she could pay off my debts for me. This time, Guzheng, I can only ask for your help.
I barely slept all night. The next morning, I called Guzheng because I only had 12 hours left!
