Zhu Zhe's younger siblings finally went to stay in a hotel. Although they wanted Zhu Zhe to pay for the room, Zhu Zhe refused directly because he was in a tight financial situation.
?Zhu Ting and Zhu Mingjie left with full of resentment. After arriving at the hotel, Zhu Mingjie called home to complain to his parents.
After sending the person away, before Zhu Zhe could take a breath, a call came from Zhu Ting, complaining that his brother Zhu Mingjie wanted her to pay. Zhu Zhe tried his best to adjust, but he was exhausted both physically and mentally.
She came to 1601, originally wanting to seek comfort from Wang Gang and complain. Unexpectedly, she smelled the aroma of food as soon as she entered the door.
Wang Gang came out of the kitchen with a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs and said to Zhu Zhe: "You have been busy all afternoon and you haven't eaten yet! Go wash your hands quickly."
Zhu Zhe felt warm in his heart and swallowed the complaints that came to his mouth.
Wang Gang first served Zhu Zhe a bowl of soup and let her taste it.
Zhu Zhe was full of praise after taking a sip.
Wang Gang barely spoke during the meal, letting Zhu Zhe relax. After she finished eating, he asked, "Have your brothers and sisters gone to stay in the hotel?"
Zhu Zhe nodded and said: "They disliked me for being so young, so they went to stay in a hotel by themselves, and they wanted me to pay for it.
When we met this time, Zhu Ting and Zhu Mingjie wanted me to give them money, but they didn't even say a word of concern, nor did they mention repaying the money I paid for them to go to college."
Wang Gang saw that Zhu Zhe had been chilled by his younger brothers and sisters, so he advised: "Some relatives are born to collect debts."
Zhu Zhe said sadly: "I am also stupid. I blindly contribute to my family, which makes them take it for granted. Zhu Mingjie brought his girlfriend's mother to see a doctor without any money, thinking that I would pay for the medical expenses."
?I will try my best to draw clear boundaries with my family in the future."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "You are not wrong, it is them who are wrong, but I agree with you to keep a distance from your family. It is not that I am in vain of family affection, but that if you always cover for your siblings, you will develop their dependence, and you will be ruined.
.”
Zhu Zhe agreed: "You are right, if I continue to coddle them, I will harm them."
After washing the dishes, Wang Gang took Zhu Zhe downstairs for a walk after dinner to relax, and then sent her back to 2202 when the time was almost up.
The next day, Zhu Zhe refused Wang Gang to send her to work because he was worried about being seen by his younger brothers and sisters.
Although they are staying in a hotel, there is no guarantee that they will go to Ode to Joy to visit Zhu Zhe.
Before Zhu Zhe went to work, he specifically told Yu Chuhui and He Minhong not to reveal anything about Wang Gang and the house if they saw Zhu Ting and Zhu Mingjie.
Yu Chuhui and Stanley Ho repeatedly promised to understand.
Zhu Zhe was right to worry. Zhu Ting really made a comeback and came to Ode to Joy early in the morning, wanting to go to work with Zhu Zhe.
"Aren't you going to buy a dowry?" Zhu Zhe asked.
"I'm not familiar with the Magic City and I want to wait until you get off work to go there together." Zhu Ting rolled her eyes and said.
Zhu Zhe knew in his heart that Zhu Ting was not familiar with the place she was born in. He simply wanted to know where she worked.
If she knew that she worked in a five-star hotel and was sitting in the manager's seat, pretending to be poor yesterday would be meaningless.
"I didn't go to work yesterday. I have to make up for yesterday's work today. I guess I won't be able to get off work until very late. You'd better not wait for me." Zhu Zhe said to his sister:
"I'll give you the addresses of several cost-effective shopping malls in Shanghai. You can go there by yourself. It's very convenient."
Zhu Zhe was already prepared and took out a note from his bag and handed it to Zhu Ting.
When Zhu Ting got the note, she saw that Zhu Zhe had not only written down the address of the shopping mall, but also clearly marked the route, including which subway line to take, so she could not find any excuse.
Zhu Zhe looked at his watch and said to Zhu Ting: "I'm going to be late if I don't leave, and my money will be deducted. You can take care of yourself."
After saying that, Zhu Zhe rushed out of the house in a hurry, leaving Zhu Ting in 2202 without even preparing breakfast.
Yu Chuhui finished drinking the milk and stared at Zhu Ting.
"I have to go to work too." Yu Chuhui said to Zhu Ting.
What Yu Chuhui meant was that after he went to work, there was no one at home, so it was inconvenient for Zhu Ting to stay.
Zhu Ting had no choice but to go out with Yu Chuhui.
After locking the door, Yu Chuhui sent a message to his mother, asking her to go out for a stroll today and try not to go home to avoid running into the Zhu family.
After Yu Chuhui and Zhu Ting went downstairs, they were about to say goodbye politely when an unexpected person appeared and interrupted her.
"Achu!"
Yu Chuhui looked for fame and found that the person calling her was actually her ex-boyfriend.
"What are you doing here?" Yu Chuhui glanced at Zhu Ting next to him, a little embarrassed.
The ex-boyfriend smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to pester you to get back together."
While they were talking, the ex-boyfriend took out an invitation and said, "I'm getting married, so come early then."
When Zhu Ting heard the conversation between Yu Chuhui and Yu Chuhui, the fire of gossip ignited in her heart. She originally wanted to avoid it, but now she refused to leave and secretly took out her mobile phone.
Yu Chuhui said angrily: "Congratulations, but I'm usually very busy, so I won't go to the wedding."
"No!" The ex-boyfriend caught up with Yu Chuhui and said with a smile, "We are still friends even after we break up."
Yu Chuhui knew in her heart that her ex-boyfriend came to her firstly to show off his power, and secondly to ask her to contribute money.
"Next time, next time I will be there." Yu Chuhui said impatiently.
The ex-boyfriend's face suddenly darkened.
"Yu Chuhui." The ex-boyfriend lost his patience and grabbed Yu Chuhui's arm.
"What do you want to do!" He shouted loudly, making his ex-boyfriend startled.
Yu Chuhui couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Wang Gang coming from behind, grabbed his ex-boyfriend's wrist and pulled him away.
"Brother Xiaogang." Yu Chuhui happily ran to Wang Gang and held his arm affectionately.
Wang Gang was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted.
"Help me." Yu Chuhui whispered to Wang Gang.
Wang Gang understood instantly, put his arm around Yu Chuhui's shoulders, and said to his ex-boyfriend, "Who are you?"
Seeing the close relationship between Wang Gang and Yu Chuhui, the ex-boyfriend couldn't help but said: "It turns out that we have found another enemy!"
Yu Chuhui frowned, but still held it back and said to his ex-boyfriend: "This is my boyfriend. I won't attend your wedding because I don't want him to misunderstand."
The ex-boyfriend said to Wang Gang disdainfully: "Do you know Yu Chuhui's true face? She won't like you, she will only like your money. When she meets a richer person, she will definitely kick you away."
Wang Gang glanced at Yu Chuhui strangely. If it had been before, she would have fought back, but today she was strangely silent.
"It's not your turn to deal with Ah Chu and I." Wang Gang said to his ex-boyfriend, "If I see you harassing her again, don't blame me for being rude."
The ex-boyfriend said angrily: "Don't be taken advantage of and think you are taking advantage. Yu Chuhui is a money worshiper. She will follow anyone who has money!"
Yu Chuhui slowly lowered his head without saying a word.
Wang Gang said in a deep voice: "Get out of here right now, or I'll call the police!"
The ex-boyfriend gritted his teeth and shouted to Yu Chuhui: "Yu Chuhui, do you dare to tell her about the bad things you did before?"
Yu Chuhui lowered his head and did not dare to look at Wang Gang.
Wang Gang took out his cell phone and pressed the alarm number in front of his ex-boyfriend.
The ex-boyfriend panicked, threatened Yu Chuhui, and then ran away in a hurry.
After the people walked away, Wang just put away his mobile phone and glanced at Zhu Ting, who had been watching the excitement.
Zhu Ting panicked and quickly put away her phone and rubbed oil on the soles of her feet. Yu Chuhui also took two steps to the left and distanced herself from Wang Gang.
"Thank you, Brother Wang, I'm going to work." Yu Chuhui said apologetically.
Wang Gang looked at his watch and said, "Let me drive you to work!"
Yu Chuhui also knew that he was going to be late, so he did not refuse.
In the car, Wang Gang and Yu Chuhui were both silent, and no one spoke. It was not until they were approaching Yu Chuhui's company that she spoke:
"Brother Wang, can you not tell others what happened today? Especially my mother."
Wang Gang smiled and said: "What happened today?"
Yu Chuhui understood what Wang Gang meant, said thank you, opened the car door and walked out.
Wang Gang shook his head, started the car and continued moving forward, not worrying about this little thing at all.
After Yu Chuhui went to work, he was absent-minded all day long and didn't know how he got home.
"Ah Chu, the food in Magic City is too expensive. The price is more than twice as expensive as ours." Yu's mother didn't notice that her daughter was in a bad mood and was still complaining about the prices in Magic City.
Yu Chuhui responded listlessly, and then found that Zhu Zhe's sister was here again, carrying a lot of things.
Zhu Ting pulled Zhu Zhe aside and pointed at Yu Chuhui: "Your roommate's private life is so messy. This morning, her ex-boyfriend and current boyfriend almost got into a fight!"
Zhu Zhe asked curiously: "Is Ah Chu in love?"
Zhu Ting took out her mobile phone and showed Zhu Zhe the photos she had secretly taken in the morning.
"This is her ex-boyfriend, and this is her current boyfriend."
Zhu Zhe was shocked when he saw Wang Gang and Yu Chuhui standing closely together in the photo.
