Chapter 620 Strange Call

...

Two days went by.

It had been raining for the past two days. The rain in winter was not too heavy, but it caused the temperature to drop a few degrees.

Old Gao and I reopened the restaurant, and we added two new tables and chairs. The restaurant was as usual.

Hu Zi didn't send anyone to pick up the car he left at the restaurant, and we didn't care.

Hu Zi's departure did not defeat us!

As for Rainbow square, it finally fell in the rain for the past two days, like a giant, crashing down, a little tragic.

It could be said that Hu Zi pushed it down with one hand!

As for who caused the fire, the police did not seem to have found out, or were still investigating. No news came out anyway.

The owner of Rainbow square naturally had to bear all the losses. He heard that all the other shops in Rainbow square had been sold, and then the money was used to compensate those who had been burned. So far, there was no Rainbow square in Pucheng.

As the rainbow went bankrupt, there was less and less discussion.

The storm gradually subsided as the rainbow collapsed.

Li Xiaowei didn't look for me again. As for whether she was looking for Hu Zi, I don't know. And I don't know how she is now.

On this day, it was night again. After two days of winter rain, the road outside was still damp. The cold air was running on the streets, not as cold as usual.

I just made myself a bowl of noodles and was about to eat when my phone rang.

It was Ji Ze.

He asked me to pick him up at the train station.

After I told Old Gao, I drove to the train station. Ji ze came back from abroad.

After receiving Ji Ze, Ji Ze was carrying a thick bag of luggage, but his clothes were very thin.

I picked him up and turned the heater on a little. Ji Ze was also laughing, rubbing his hands and shivering in the cold.

When I saw him like this, I couldn't help but smile.

Ji ze paused for a while before saying, "Why is it so cold in Pucheng? It's freezing."

The weather is really very cold now, but it's only december now. Winter hasn't even passed a third, and many people have already put on their winter gear. I don't know how to spend the remaining two months.

"It's really cold in Pucheng at night. Don't you have any thick clothes in your luggage?"

"No." Ji ze asked me, "Did you help me find a place to live?"

I was stunned. Ji Ze did tell me something like this, but I forgot that a few days ago... Forget it, let's not talk about the past.

At this moment, it suddenly occurred to me that Du Ling had already left. Then her room was empty. Ji ze could stay there, so I said to Ji Ze, "If you don't mind, you can stay with me."

"Your home? Isn't there someone living in your house? It's still a girl. I don't think it's convenient for me to live there." Ji ze replied.

"She moved away." I replied faintly.

"How did you move out?" Ji Ze asked.

I just said "Yes" and didn't answer this question directly, because if I wanted to answer it, I had to explain everything clearly.

But I don't want to talk about it, and I don't want to tell anyone. It's not a glorious thing. Ding Ge hasn't come back these days. I didn't even tell her.

"How is it? Stay? The rent must be cheaper than a normal house." Our house is really cheap.

Ji ze smiled and said, "I must live. I'll be on the street if I don't live. But the rent has to wait. Xing Yun, you have to lend me some money."

I turned to look at Ji Ze.

Ji Ze said, "I don't have any money on me now. I'm penniless. I don't have any money for a taxi. That's why I asked you to pick me up. You'll have to treat me to a meal later. I don't have any money."

Ji Ze also treated me as a friend and did not treat me kindly.

I also smiled and said, "No problem, there is still some money."

At this moment, Ji Ze suddenly said, "By the way, Xing Yun, the money owed to Hu Zi may not be repaid in a short time. Tell him about it for me. It's estimated that it won't be repaid in a year or two. But it's not like I haven't paid it back yet. I'll pay it back in installments, a little bit."

When ji ze mentioned Hu Zi, my expression changed and my heart tightened. I didn't expect ji ze to suddenly mention Hu Zi.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly. It could be said that Hu Zi is my minefield now. I really don't want to hear this name. I can't calm down when I think of him.

I didn't say that I would tell Hu Zi for you, but I replied, "Just a little bit. I'll pay it back in the end."

Ji Ze nodded and said nothing more.

After a while, I took Ji Ze to the restaurant and finished cooking. Ji Ze and I sat down and ate together.

I asked Ji Ze, "How's your company?"

Ji ze replied, "It can be said that the most difficult period has passed."

"That's good."

Ji Ze added, "They'll be on their own from now on. I'm completely free."

Hearing Ji Ze's words, I couldn't help but be surprised and ask, "You finally left the company?"

Ji Ze nodded. Although he looked a little reluctant, he didn't feel too sad, and he was still very free and easy.

I took a breath. Although Ji Ze had told me before that he would leave the company and hand it over to the people under him, he was still very surprised when he did.

He is indeed a brave man!

"Are you really willing?"

I feel that if Ji Ze stays in the company and continues to work hard, I believe it's not impossible for him to make the company stronger again. But when he said he would leave, it was really admirable.

Ji Ze also said indebtedly, "I can't bear to part with it! They want me to stay, but I know it's unfair to them. It's my fault. Leaving the company is my punishment."

"That's easy for you to say."

Ji Ze smiled happily and said, "Why is it not easy? I used to care about so many people and so many things. I really can't be quiet in my heart. Every day, besides being busy or busy, I can say that it's not easy. Now, I don't have to care about anything. Of course, it's easy! I used to want to start a business to prove myself, so I didn't feel tired. These two years have passed, and I really don't want to live like that anymore. So leaving the company is a good thing for me. I can say that I can live a different life, a different way of living."

"How dare you say such a big thing without a penny, I admire you!"

Ji Ze laughed.

He took a bite of the food and continued, "I used to envy you, but now I can finally be like you."

"What do we envy? We can't compete with you."

Ji Ze obviously disagreed with me. He shook his head.

The bitterness in my heart did not come out. If I let him know that Hu Zi broke up with us, I don't know if he can still laugh.

"By the way, Ji Ze, do you know? The rainbow has closed." Ji ze just came back from outside. Maybe he doesn't know about this yet.

Ji ze was stunned, nodded, and sighed, "I expected that the rainbow would not be able to escape the responsibility of this fire. It must have closed down because it had been in so much debt before."

"Is it possible to say that your three million dollars are completely gone?"

"Not necessarily, 99 %."

Three million was gone, and Ji Ze was able to make a joke. He was really in a good mood.

I asked again, "How much did you borrow this time? How can you pay back this money?"

"I'll pay half of the company back."

Although ji ze did not know how much money ji ze had borrowed, the two million yuan in half for Hu Zi alone was one million yuan. Obviously, Ji Ze had more debts.

I've tasted debt, and it's not good. But looking at Ji Ze didn't seem to be stressful. Of course, I know I'm different from Ji Ze. He used to run a company, and his family is rich. Although he's in a cold war with his parents now, I don't believe they'll be like this for the rest of their lives.

"How are you going to pay it back?"

"Take your time." Ji Ze replied without any pressure.

Looking at Ji Ze, I couldn't help but think, if only I could have been so open-minded back then.

"What are you going to do in the future?"

"Stop!" Ji Ze quickly reached out his hand to stop me from talking. When I stopped, he said, "I had a hard time getting through this. I was so worried the other day that my white hair came out. Now I just want to rest for a while. I'll talk about the rest later. I just don't want to think about anything right now. I'm just going to eat and drink with you for a while."

Indeed, a while ago, Ji Ze was really sad and memorable.

I joked, "Don't make me poor."

Ji Ze laughed.

It could be seen that Ji Ze's mood improved significantly after the crisis was resolved.

After that, I chatted with Ji Ze. After the restaurant closed, I took ji ze back to the neighborhood.

On the way, Ji Ze couldn't help but ask about Lin Ya's condition again.

I just told her that Lin Ya was fine.

Nor did he tell her about the possibility that lin ya might be depressed.

Because Old Gao was just guessing, we couldn't confirm if Lin Ya had depression.

I also checked on the internet before, about depression, saying that although some people have been suffering from depression, but usually it looks no different from normal people, in front of people can also talk and laugh, but a person will be particularly disappointed.

I've been watching Lin Ya for the past two days, and it doesn't seem to make much difference to her, so I'm not sure, but I'm still very worried.

Depression is a mental illness, different from physical illness, and this really deserves attention. If necessary, I think I can take lin ya to see a psychiatrist.

When I opened the door, I said to Ji Ze, "Welcome!"

I opened Du Ling's room again and said to him, "You can sleep here from now on."

"Okay, okay, okay." Ji Ze looked very satisfied.

After settling Ji Ze down, before I could catch my breath, my phone rang.

This time, it was an unfamiliar number!

I couldn't help but wonder, who could it be? Calling so late?

"Hello, who is it?" I asked.

"It's me, Du Ling." Du Ling whispered.

Du Ling?

Hearing her voice, I was shocked and filled with doubts. I didn't expect Du Ling to call me.

I always felt that Du Ling was calling me for something important to say.

So I went to my bedroom, closed the door, and asked, "What's the matter, Du Ling?"

"Brother xingyun, what's going on between you and Brother tiger?" Du Ling asked eagerly.

As soon as I heard this, I was also upset. I took a deep breath and replied, "Didn't Hu Zi tell you?"

"No. Did you guys have a fight?" Du Ling said, "I was resting at home that night when Brother tiger suddenly came. His eyes were terrible and there was some blood on his face. It scared me. I thought something was wrong. But he didn't say anything. Even if he asked me to go with him, I didn't dare to ignore him. She asked me to pack up and let me go. She also said something to make me never come back."

I listened to Du Ling quietly, and my thoughts returned to the night we fought.

I think, after leaving the hotel, Hu Zi came to the neighborhood and took Du Ling away.

"Can you tell me what's going on? Brother xingyun. I asked brother hu these two days and he didn't tell me anything, but I can tell that you must have quarreled, and it was especially fierce, right?" Du Ling was a smart girl. She was right.

I let out an uncomfortable "Mmm."

However, my voice changed a little and I coughed lightly.

"When I asked brother hu, he was very angry. He told me not to ask anything, not to let me call you, and to change my phone card. I'm scared. I still borrowed a cell phone to call you secretly."

I frowned. I said why Du Ling's voice was so low. It turned out that he was making a phone call. Hearing this, I couldn't help but say angrily, "Why should he care about you? You can call whoever you want to call, but he can't!"

"Don't be angry, Brother xingyun. Calm down." Du Ling asked again, "What exactly are you arguing about? Are you still arguing so fiercely?"

I don't know how to explain it to Du Ling, because these things can't be explained in a short time.

I didn't say anything, and Du Ling said even more eagerly, "Brother xingyun, although I don't know what you're fighting about, I think you must have misunderstood. You're both good people, and you're so close. I've never seen such a good brother like you..."

Du Ling's words made my heart ache. Yes, we are such good brothers. No one knows who our friends are. My parents know that Old Tiger is my best friend, but who would have thought that the word "Brother" now has to be added with the word" once."

"Brother xingyun, are you still listening?" I kept quiet, Du Ling asked.

"I'm listening."

"Oh. I know you guys must be unhappy these days. So is Brother tiger. He's really sad. I've never seen him like this. He drinks a lot every day, and he's in pain. Brother xingyun, I know you guys like to keep up appearances, but can you guys have a good talk? I don't want to see you guys like this."

Listening to Du Ling say that Hu Zi was upset, I didn't know what was going on. I gritted my teeth and tried to control my emotions.

"Xiaoling, listen to me." I said to Du Ling, "We didn't misunderstand. Some things will not be clear for a while. We have nothing to do with him anymore."

"Brother xingyun, don't say that. I feel terrible." Du Ling's voice was tinged with tears.

"Xiaoling, listen to me. Come back. Don't stay by his side." I advised.

Du Ling was silent and did not speak.

I continued, "Xiaoling, your sister and I saw Hu Zi walking out of a hotel room with a woman the other day. Your sister wouldn't lie to you. I really don't understand why you followed him."
