Chen Haoran's features were contorted in pain, his eyes were red and swollen, and he looked as if he were about to cry.
Their appearance was so humble, it was as if they were dust.
In other words, Chen Feng did not see Chen Haoran's appearance.
Otherwise, Chen Feng would definitely spit in his face and call him a "male green tea."
Unfortunately, Wang Yaqin fell for Chen Haoran's tactics.
"Haoran, don't blame yourself."
Wang Yaqin, forgetting her anger, quickly reassured him, "This has nothing to do with you."
Wang Yaqin's words only made things worse; as soon as she said them, Chen Haoran's tears flowed like a burst dam.
"But if I hadn't made that mistake, my brother wouldn't have run away from home, and my older sister wouldn't have argued with you over dinner. I... I'm the culprit..."
"Oh, my good son!"
Seeing Chen Haoran in tears, Wang Yaqin's heart broke. "What are you saying?"
"No one is perfect; everyone makes mistakes."
"Besides, you can't be blamed for that. You're young and lack self-control. Plus, the alcohol made it understandable that you acted impulsively."
"In the end, it's because that little beast is selfish and unwilling to take the blame for you, and he even passed on his bad habits to the boss."
Upon hearing this, Chen Siqi, who had been silent for a while, rolled her eyes.
Chen Feng had already betrayed the Chen family, so Wang Yaqin couldn't hit him or scold him.
If I don't interrupt, my mother will most likely take out her resentment on my eldest sister.
So Chen Siqi quickly said, "Mom, Haoran, both of you calm down. How about this, while it's still early, I'll take you out for a walk to clear your heads?"
Wang Yaqin turned to her second daughter and asked, "We haven't eaten yet, where are you taking us?"
Chen Siqi smiled and said, "Let's go to a nice place where we can eat and relax."
Meanwhile, in Hejia Village.
Chen Feng had just finished showering when he heard the door lock make a sound.
The next second, Li Xiaogang walked in.
Chen Feng was taken aback. Shouldn't Li Xiaogang be keeping watch at the construction site at this hour? Why is he back?
Moreover, Li Xiaogang had a gloomy face and his eyes were full of disappointment.
"Old Li, what's wrong?"
"Why!"
Li Xiaogang said with a wry smile, "I've been fired."
"Why?"
Chen Feng looked puzzled.
He knows Li Xiaogang's personality well.
Meticulous and responsible.
Most importantly, Li Xiaogang, who was working as a summer intern, did not have high salary requirements. He was the kind of person who would risk his life for a monthly salary of 1,800 yuan.
Unless the construction site leaders have lost their minds, why would they fire Li Xiaogang, who is said to have an innate physique like an ox or a horse?
"Don't even mention it."
Li Xiaogang explained helplessly, "The foreman's brother-in-law insisted on experiencing life on the construction site, but he didn't understand construction and didn't want to do any heavy work, so he took my position."
"So that's how it is."
Chen Feng nodded in understanding.
The job of guarding the construction site at night is relatively easy, and it is indeed a lucrative job for those who just want to coast along.
"Old Chen, do you think... this world will ever get better?"
Li Xiaogang's voice was clearly tinged with tears, "I worked diligently, why are you firing me?"
"Just because that person has connections at the construction site, don't I have them too?"
"Brother, don't be sad."
Chen Feng raised his hand and patted Li Xiaogang on the shoulder, "It's just working the night watch at the construction site, it's not a great job, if you lose it, you lose it, it's not a big deal."
You don't understand.
Li Xiaogang shook his head repeatedly, "If it were just a job, losing it wouldn't be a big deal."
"But the problem is that school starts in less than a month, and I haven't earned enough for tuition yet."
"What if I'm forced to drop out of school because I can't pay my tuition?!"
Chen Feng smiled slightly, "What are you afraid of? I'll pay your tuition."
"ah?"
Li Xiaogang was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "No, I already owe you a favor, how can I take your money for nothing?"
"It's not free."
Chen Feng explained, "After the semester starts, I plan to start my own business. You will come and work for me then, and the tuition fee will be considered as an advance on your salary."
Chen Feng paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, if we're talking about favors, it's me who owes you, not the other way around."
"If you hadn't paid my medical bills back then, I probably would have died long ago."
"What's the big deal about me helping you pay your tuition once?"
Li Xiaogang stared wide-eyed, unable to recover for a long time.
What is Chen Feng saying?
I recognized every single word he said, but when they were put together, I just couldn't understand him.
Treatment costs?
When did I ever pay for his treatment?
"Cough cough..."
Chen Feng realized he had said the wrong thing, so he cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this anymore. It's rare that we both have free time tonight, so come on, I'll take you out for some fun."
...
Half an hour later, Chen Feng and Li Xiaogang arrived at the Night Bar located in the center of the ancient city.
The reason Chen Feng came here was because he remembered very clearly that in his previous life, Li Xiaogang had mentioned more than once that he had never been inside a bar and was very curious about what it was like inside.
Sure enough, the moment Li Xiaogang saw the bar sign, his eyes lit up, and he became incredibly excited.
But just a moment later, Li Xiaogang grabbed Chen Feng's arm and said, "Old Chen, let's go somewhere else. It's definitely not cheap here."
"It's okay, you won't bankrupt me."
