Chapter 354 Gift
After walking on the street for a while, I took a taxi and let the driver wander around the city at will.
I must remain calm now. I must carefully recall all normal and abnormal phenomena.
Only in this way can I guarantee that I will be unbeaten in this game.
After a while, the taxi was transferred to the vicinity of the Elephant Riding Building.
Now, it's past eight o'clock.
Normally, this time period is the most lively moment in all venues.
But there were very few vehicles in the parking lot of the Elephant Riding Building.
I was a little surprised and asked the driver to stop the car.
I opened the door and got out of the car, and looked at the neon sign of the "Riding Elephant Building" on the roof, which was flashing with fluorescent light.
Elephant Riding Building!
It has always been a mystery in Habei Lan Road.
From the day of opening, other venues have been disrupted.
The most important thing is that no one knows who the owner of this elephant riding building is.
Although I didn't plan to bet, I still wanted to go and have a look.
How is this elephant riding building developing now?
The venue is still on the sixth floor.
But when I got out of the elevator, the moment I entered the hall, I was shocked by the scene in front of me.
Every time I came here before, it was crowded and very lively.
But now, there are only a few gamblers in the huge hall.
Even the number of guests who were at the most lonely time was not as high as the number of guests.
What surprised me the most was that there were only dice and several roulette tables here.
For example, the gamblers' favorite baccarat and the blackjack platform were not opened.
Several dealers and staff were also standing lazily beside the platform.
Occasionally one or two customers place bets, but they really can't raise the dealer's enthusiasm.
Looking at this scene, I felt even more strange.
I really can't figure it out, it's only a month.
What exactly happened to this elephant riding building?
It has declined to such a point.
Just as I was thinking, my phone suddenly rang.
I took it out and saw that it was Aunt Qing who called me.
When I answered the phone, I heard Aunt Qing's slightly tired voice coming from the other side:
"Master Chuliu, have you returned to Habei?"
I was stunned again.
I didn't inform anyone I was back.
And now, Qi Lan guessed that I was back, and even Aunt Qing, who rarely contacted me, knew that I was back?
Could it be that my whereabouts are no longer a secret for these people?
"Yes, Aunt Qing, I'm Ha Bei now!"
"Do you have time? I want to ask you out and sit..."
Perhaps because I was afraid that I would refuse, Aunt Qing immediately said:
"Something was originally something that the old man wanted to tell you. But now, the old man has left. Maybe I have to tell you on my behalf!"
I heard Aunt Qing's words for a while.
After asking about the location where she met, I went out and went downstairs.
Aunt Qing made an appointment at a teahouse on Zhongjie.
This is a prime location and is in a great location.
The teahouse is decorated in antique, elegant and unique.
After entering the private room, I saw Aunt Qing washing tea.
It has been more than a month since Mr. Zou passed away.
At this time, Aunt Qing looked much better than before.
But there was still a hint of sadness on my face.
Let the seat pour tea and exchange a few greetings.
Aunt Qing looked around the box and said calmly:
"Mr. Chuliu, I want to ask you something. Do you think I am just greedy for his money, just like everyone else?"
I didn't expect Aunt Qing would ask me such a question.
I shook my head and didn't answer her words.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Aunt Qing filled the agarwood into the agarwood stove and continued:
"If you don't feel annoyed, I'll tell you about my relationship with the old man..."
"You said!"
I said politely.
"My acquaintance with the old man can be said to be a farce. That year, I was 19 years old. At that time, my family was still reasonable. But soon after, my father got involved in gambling. Since then, he rarely went home. Every time he came back, he would ask for money from my mother. As long as my mother dared not give it, he would knock and kick it. In serious cases, my mother was beaten to a coma by him. At that time, my father did not go home. For me and my mother, it was a kind of tranquility. As long as he came back, my nightmare and my mother would begin..."
As he said that, Aunt Qing sighed heavily and continued:
"I remember that at the end of that year, my father who had been wandering around for several months suddenly came back. Not only did he come back, he also bought a lot of things for the family. He also gave my mother one thousand dollars for the first time. I began to think that he had discovered his conscience and changed his personality. But how could I know that everything was just a mirror and a moon..."
"He stayed at home for a few days, helped my mother with housework and bought me new clothes. But one day, he said someone was a matchmaker and wanted to take me to a blind date. He also said how good the other party was and how good the family was. I didn't want to go there at first, but thinking of my mother and thinking of this family as if it was a bit like a family. So he agreed to him..."
Speaking of this, Aunt Qing looked around and continued:
"At that time, this place was not a teahouse, but just a restaurant. It was in this private room that I met my blind date..."
As he said that, Aunt Qing suddenly smiled bitterly.
"My father is actually right. The other party's family is indeed very good. But the other party is a fool with a few years of IQ. Moreover, it was not a blind date that day, but an engagement. To put it bluntly, my father charged him 30,000 yuan and sold me to him. Alas!"
Aunt Qing sighed again and said:
"Of course I wouldn't agree, but the other party's family said that in addition to giving my father 30,000 yuan, they also paid a lot of gambling debts to my father. If I disagree, we would pay back the money immediately. My father was furious at that time, punched me and forced me to agree. At that time, I was completely disappointed. It was here..."
Aunt Qing pointed to the window next to her and said:
"I jumped straight down. My thought at that time was to die. I would never have to suffer such inhuman torture in this life..."
Speaking of this, Aunt Qing's eyes were a little red.
Although, I have heard too many stories of family destruction due to gambling.
But at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little lamented in my heart.
A gambler can push his biological daughter into a fire pit for gambling money.
"The reason why I say that my acquaintance with the old man is like a farce. It is because when I jumped down, I smashed into a car. The owner of the car was the old man Zou Wanli. You can guess what happened next. I was admitted to the hospital, and the old man helped me deal with these things. It was from then on that time that I began to follow him until he passed away. In fact, a long time ago, he thought that something might happen to him. In order to prevent me from being helpless in the future, he specially bought this teahouse and gave it to me..."
It turned out that this teahouse was actually owned by Aunt Qing.
With this building, Aunt Qing can live a very comfortable life even if she doesn’t work in her life.
But I knew very well that Aunt Qing said these old things were just a reason.
