Hope Coffee House Chapter 3

Engaged to someone? Girlfriend? It should be an ex-girlfriend …

Wu Liang didn't dare to ask more and quickly sat down in a chair opposite to Chen Wei, listening quietly as Chen Wei talked.

Chen Wei was a programmer. He has been working for five years after graduating from college and has a good income. However, he has never had a girlfriend because of frequent overtime at work and his introverted personality.

Until that day, when Chen Wei stumbled upon Gao Qi.

That day, a roommate from Chen Wei's University happened to be in Jingzhou on a business trip, and he had an appointment with Chen Wei. After starting work, Chen Wei had no friends and naturally agreed to meet up with him, utterly delighted.

This roommate of Chen Wei was called Feng Zhang. After learning that Chen Wei had no girlfriend, Feng Zhang was very surprised. When he arranged for a meal, he called two girls together to set Chen Wei up with one of them.

Feng Zhang intended to introduce Chen Wei because he heard that Chen Wei had been single so far, and his heart was inevitably anxious for Chen Wei. Suddenly he thought of a high school female cla.s.smate who was also in Jicheng. Although she has not been in contact for a long time, she should be single amongst her circle of friends. In the photos she posted, the girl who ate dinner with her on weekends was also very beautiful, so Feng Zhang quickly thought up a plan.

Although he didn't expect too much from such a meeting, since it was Feng Zhang's kindness, and it was more fun to bring two girls to eat with them, Chen Wei naturally would not refuse.

After seeing Chen Wei agree, Feng Zhang quickly contacted his high school female cla.s.smate, Sun Wenting, on WeChat.

Sun Wenting received the message and heard Feng Zhang say that his guest was a good friend from his university. He had good character and had no time to fall in love. Then she understood Feng Zhang's meaning and agreed. ‘Bring a single friend with you.', was what he meant.

That night, Chen Wei met Gao Qi during the dinner.

Gao Qi seemed to have an alluring charm. A smile could attract Chen Wei's attention. What made Chen Wei even more pleased was that Gao Qi and his own thoughts were very similar in many topics discussed at the dinner.

Dinner time pa.s.sed by very fast, and the night had already grown old.

Naturally, Chen Wei and Gao Qi exchanged contact information before they said goodbye reluctantly.

Chen Wei felt what love was for the first time.

He began to secretly search the Internet for ways to please girls, like popular bags, cosmetics, accessories, small surprises filled with romantic creativity … all dedicated to his favorite girl.

A month later, Gao Qi finally nodded and promised Chen Wei to be his girlfriend.

Chen Wei bid farewell to the small single room he had lived in for five years. He rented a two-bedroom house near Jicheng, North Third Ring Road. The house was newly renovated, clean and warm. Chen Wei and Gao Qi had made a small but cozy home for two people.

Gao Qi satisfied Chen Wei's beautiful fantasy of a girlfriend and a wife.

Gao Qi worked at an insurance company. Compared to him, Gao Qi had a lot of free time.

Every morning, the two would get up from bed together. Chen Wei was busy washing and dressing. Gao Qi would wear an elegant robe to make a delicious breakfast. The two then had breakfast together.

Every night when Chen Wei came home from work, the house was filled with the tempting fragrance of freshly cooked food. Gao Qi was seen in the kitchen adorning a cute ap.r.o.n. The smile on her face and her gentle appearance made Chen Wei ache to have all of her for himself.

Two people would always have endless topics to talk about, endless fun things to do like; talk about the boss and colleagues at work, sit on the soft sofa and play games together, cuddle in bed together to watch horror movies, and cook food on weekends together …

They knew each other and loved each other.

Soulmate, that's what it was.

Gao Qi made a lot of money, but his needs were also very high. He needed to buy a lot of clothes, cosmetics, and bags every month. The money he earned was not enough as Chen Wei paid for Gao Qi.

Although those things that Gao Qi liked were ridiculously expensive, Chen Wei was not distressed.

In recent years, Chen Wei had also saved five or six hundred thousand yuan of savings. This was now his wife's book, spent on his wife who would accompany him for a lifetime.

On a day four months ago, the two were thrown into the first test of their relationship.

Gao Qi's father was admitted to the ICU of Shencheng Hospital due to an acute myocardial infarction and needed surgery urgently. The cost of treatment was estimated to be 300,000 – 400,000.

Gao Qi's mother had pa.s.sed away early. In recent years, her father had lived alone, and all his savings were only 60,000 yuan.

Gao Qi spent a lot of money and naturally had no deposits.

Fortunately, although Gao Qi bought many expensive bags and jewelry, Chen Wei still had 390,000 yuan in his savings.

Looking at Gao Qi's red eyes and the self-blame burning in her eyes, Chen Wei's heart was pained. He took out all his savings without hesitation, asked the company for a long vacation, and flew to Shencheng with Gao Qi.

With Chen Wei's 390,000 deposits, Gao Qi's father soon had surgery, but due to some complications, Gao Qi's father was not in a good condition after surgery and still needed to live in the ICU.

ICU was the hospital's largest-selling factor, with nearly 10,000 treatment costs per day, and soon spent all of Chen Wei's 390,000 deposits, while Gao Qi's father's condition didn't change for the better.

Whenever Gao Qi's father's condition improved a little, the old man would hold Chen Wei with his right hand, seemingly eager to say something to him, but could not make a sound.

Looking at the complicated eyes of the old man, the thin streaks of tears on his face, and Gao Qi, who was wiping his tear-filled face every day beside the hospital bed, Chen Wei couldn't say any more words and could only borrow money.

Because Gao QI was doing insurance sales, her colleagues were relatively indifferent, and her cla.s.smates did not contact her for a long time. After asking all the people he knew, he borrowed around 10,000 yuan in total, and the pressure slowly fell on Chen Wei.

Fortunately, Chen Wei's parents were reasonable and kind people. When they heard there was such a change in their future daughter-in-law's family, the old couple did not hesitate to give all the 200,000 yuan pension money that they had acc.u.mulated for many years to Chen Wei. Chen Wei borrowed 100,000 yuan, and less than a day after Chen Wei had asked his parents, 300,000 yuan was wiped away from Chen Wei's card.

The old couple also specifically told Chen Wei. Since Gao Qi has followed Chen Wei, although she is not married, she is also Chen Wei's daughter-in-law. Her father was Chen Wei's father too, so don't feel bad about the money, treat the disease as soon as possible.

Chen Wei's mother also specifically whispered to Chen Wei, Gao Qi, a girl, taking care of her father to change his clothes, wipe his body, etc., after all, was not convenient, so Chen Wei must take extra care.

The 300,000 borrowed from his parents and relatives was like charcoal in the snow, it helped Gao Qi's father survive a difficult time again, and his condition gradually began to improve.

Blessings are unparalleled.

The company's HR suddenly called Chen Wei and told Chen Wei euphemistically that because Chen Wei had always taken a leave of absence regardless of the company's objections, his project was now completely taken over by other colleagues. The company intended to fire him.

If Chen Wei offered to leave, it would be easy to find the next job, because the company would help him by saying a few good words during the background check.

However, if he was dismissed directly by the company, although he would receive six months' salary compensation, it would not be so easy when he found a new job.

The HR meaningfully reminded Chen Wei to choose carefully.

Chen Wei was desperate and helpless, but now it was time to use money. He could only bite his teeth and choose a six-month salary compensation.

HR didn't say much, just sneered and hung up the phone.

When Chen Wei and Gao Qi talked about his dismissal from the company, Gao Qi was extremely dazzling, holding his waist tightly, and repeatedly saying thank you.

At that moment, Chen Wei felt that everything was worth it. He and Gao Qi made a lot of money. When he cured her father's illness, although the two would have a hard time, they would slowly move on.

Gao Qi's father's condition remained the same, and he kept receiving treatment in the ICU. Chen Wei's 300,000 borrowed from his parents and relatives, and the company's compensation of more than 90,000, was almost spent.
