After dinner, the three of us walked out of the Yu xiangyuan.


    The streets outside were still gorgeous. The neon lights on the shops and the street lights on both sides of the street were shining together. The speeding traffic was like flames, whistling past. The flowing and still lights shone brilliantly on the night.


    When I stood still and looked straight ahead, the sight made me a little dazed and dizzy. This was the night in the bustling area of Pucheng!


    As cars sped past, I seemed to see the rapid changes in Pucheng over the years. Its speed was frightening. Higher and higher buildings represented higher and higher housing prices, and more and more prosperous areas represented higher and higher consumption.


    There was a cool breeze, and the wind was still damp after the rain. I took a deep breath and continued walking with Old Tiger.


    At this time, a person came over from the side and shouted after seeing Hu Zi, "Boss zhao, when did you come? Why didn''t you say anything?"


    I looked at this man, a man in a suit, with shiny hair and a smile on his face, and was very polite to Hu Zi. When I heard boss zhao''s three words, I didn''t think of Hu Zi at all. When the man looked at Hu Zi, I realized that he was calling Hu Zi.


    In our restaurant, no one called us boss. Everyone called us boss by name. Yesterday, Shi Yuan and his two disciples called me boss meng. I told them to call me Xing Yun just like I corrected others.


    I''m really not used to this kind of address, it has a kind of distance and distance, there will be flattery and flattery.


    Hu Zi stepped forward to shake hands with the man and said with a smile, "Manager fan, come over for dinner with two friends."


    Manager fan greeted us and then said to Hu Zi, "Are you leaving?"


    "Yes."


    "I don''t think so. I''ll be the host today. Let''s go out and sing a song and take a bath later. How about that?" Manager fan said enthusiastically.


    "Don''t bother, manager fan."


    "Why not? Let''s go out and have a good time with our friends. Boss zhao has to show his face." Manager fan looked at Old Gao and me again.


    Old Gao and I still refused. I didn''t like this kind of person who was too tactful and used to keep a distance. Hu Zi might feel that it was not good to refuse all the time and agreed.


    All this time, I didn''t really like social engagements. Hu Zi went out to social engagements more often, and I still preferred to sit and chat with a few familiar friends.


    Then manager fan went into the restaurant. Hu Zi handed me the car keys and said to Old Gao and me, "This is the manager of the Yu xiangyuan. I''ll deal with it. You can go back first."


    I think, if I join the Yu xiangyuan in the future, I will definitely have a lot of involuntary, especially similar to the previous social engagements, more than half a lot, I don''t like this.


    Old Gao drove the car and we left first.


    On the way, I looked out of the window in a somewhat complicated mood. At this time, there were still a lot of people in front of Camry plaza. The parking space was almost full of cars, and there were more streetcars parked in rows.


    And in this square, there are rich people who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars but don''t feel sorry for them. Some people will struggle to buy or not to buy a kilo of fruit, some people will drive a luxury car by the cleaner, some people will ride a bike to the cold wind and return home.


    Looking at the materialistic society, I always feel very cruel!


    This could be hell or heaven!


    I don''t want to look out of the window anymore. I squint my eyes slightly, making my vision blurry in the light. As I drove, countless lights turned into rainbows in my eyes.


    After that, I went to the street where the Xingyun hotel was located, the familiar street, and looked at the roads that I didn''t know how many times I had walked. I could almost write down the shops on both sides.


    Compared to the streets in front of the Yu xiangyuan, it was much more deserted.


    The car stopped in front of the Xingyun hotel.


    Looking at the Xingyun hotel signboard, I still feel more secure here. Walking into the hall, a feeling of intimacy arises spontaneously, and that feeling is very comfortable.


    Du Ling and Ding Ge were sitting behind the counter, and we walked towards them.


    Du Ling asked, "Where''s Brother tiger? Didn''t come back with you?"


    "He has something to do." Old Gao replied.


    "Oh." Du ling pouted.


    I stayed at the hotel until I got off work. Today was the last day I left. Everyone left first, but Ding Ge stayed with me.


    We checked the restaurant together, locked the door, and then they started walking towards the neighborhood.


    "Do you have something on your mind?" Dinger looked at me and asked with concern, her voice filled with tenderness.


    She seemed to know me very well, and she could feel every single emotion I showed.


    I sighed, but I didn''t know what to say to dinger.


    "What''s wrong?" Ding Ge''s soft voice was like a breeze, blowing my heart, warm. She held my hand and smiled. "There''s no secret between us. Have you forgotten?"


    Yes, there are no secrets between us. We used to say everything when we were together. We would have endless words. After a fight, we would talk and communicate together. We would share joyous things together. Each other would comfort each other when they were sad.


    I took a breath and began to tell ding ge what was troubling me. I told Ding Ge what Hu Zi told us today and then asked ding ge, "Does that sound incredible? Does it feel like a lie?"


    Ding ge nodded and said, "It looks like a lie, but it could be true or not. If that person did have cancer, then the credibility would be greater."


    "Why?"


    Ding Ge replied, "Cancer. I told you before. One of my uncles died of cancer. Stomach cancer. He was fine when I saw him a few months ago, but he couldn''t do it if I said no. When my parents and I went to see him, we couldn''t eat anymore. We were so skinny. The hospital didn''t treat us anymore. We only said there were a few days left."


    Dinger did mention this to me, and as we walked on, Ding Ge continued, "A man with cancer has no reason to lie to someone. You can''t say that he lied because he needs money to see a doctor. After all, the Yu xiangyuan has opened and is running every day. There''s no other reason than to know that he''s hopeless and want to get some money for his family. It would be better to sell the Yu xiangyuan, so he has no reason to cheat."


    I sighed. I don''t know much about the situation now.


    "Is Hu Zi 100 % sure he''s in?"


    I nodded. If nothing happened, Hu Zi would definitely join us.


    "Old Gao''s not joining?"


    I nodded again, and Old Gao was very determined. It was no surprise that he would not join.


    "What about you?" Ding Ge looked at me again, his eyes sparkling.


    "I..."


    What should I do?


    I was confused.


    "You can''t make up your mind, can you?" Ding Ge saw right through me.


    I smiled bitterly, then frowned, looked at Ding Ge and asked, "Ding Ge, do you think I should join?"


    "This..." Ding Ge thought about it, and she seemed a little embarrassed.


    At this point, I really want to hear Ding Ge''s advice. Ding Ge pursed his lips and said, "Actually, I don''t want to give you advice. I support it whether you join or not, but if you really want my advice, I suggest you not join."


    I looked at Ding Ge inquiringly. Why?


    "I know what you''re thinking. All you want to do is to make more money, right?" Ding ge pouted and looked at me sadly.


    I nodded.


    "But I really don''t need you to work so hard to make money. It''s not good for us to be like this. You run the Xingyun hotel. We already have enough income to spend. I''m very satisfied."


    "But..." I was very confused. After taking a deep breath, I said, "Don''t you feel wronged? Everyone else wanted to get married to a rich and handsome man. They wanted to have a luxurious wedding. They wanted to go out and take a car every day. They could buy their favorite clothes and cosmetics. Everyone wanted to be better, but what about you? Others would say that you married a poor man and that your man still depended on you to support him. Don''t you think you have no face? Don''t you think you can''t raise your head in front of others?"


    Ding Ge stopped. She stood face to face and looked up at me. Her eyes were full of affection. She reached out her hands and gently touched my cheek. She said softly, "Didn''t we all say that before, Xing Yun? Now we''re spending my money. You can take care of me later. Besides, no matter who I talk to in the future, I won''t feel ashamed, because you are good to me, and I am happy with you, that''s the most important thing! Isn''t it?"


    With that, Ding Ge stood on tiptoe and kissed me on the forehead.


    A warm current flowed in my heart. I held Ding Ge in my arms. Ding Ge was right. The most important thing was for us to be together.


    So, I don''t think I should join.


    It''s not because I''m timid, it''s because I still want to make money through the Xingyun hotel, not through someone else''s Yu xiangyuan.


    I want dinger to live a better life. I will work hard.


    The two of them held hands and continued walking towards the neighborhood. My mood was gradually getting better. Without any entanglement, I felt much more relaxed.


    Ding Ge said to me again, "You can''t hide anything from me in the future, okay? We still have to be like before, no secrets, understand?"


    "I understand." I nodded with a smile, then frowned, slowed down a little and said, "By the way, there''s one more thing I didn''t tell you, but first say it, I didn''t mean to hide it from you, or I forgot to say it."


    "What is it?" Ding Ge asked happily.


    "Didn''t my aunt get sick before? Well, Guzheng went to see my aunt too. They were neighbors. I saw her." I explained to Ding Ge that I was sitting in the car with Guzheng for a while and asked about my doubts. There was nothing else, but I didn''t tell Ding Ge about it because I didn''t care.


    Ding Ge''s steps slowed down and her face changed. Although she soon regained her composure, it seemed that she was really sensitive to the name'' Guzheng''.
