C19 Wishy-washy

A large number of wounded thugs supported each other as they left, and the entire bar instantly became quiet.

Chen Yan suddenly felt that everything that had happened was so unreal, as if she had just been dreaming.

Zhang Youbin looked at the time. It was already around 9 PM. He asked Chen Yan, "Have you eaten yet?"

Chen Yan speechlessly shook her head. Looking at Zhang Youbin's expression, there was something strange that she couldn't explain.

Zhang Youbin stood up and smiled, "You must be hungry. Do you want to eat something with me?"

Chen Yan nodded but remained silent.

Zhang Youbin tidied up some messy clothes and walked towards the door. When he turned around and saw Chen Yan still standing there foolishly, he couldn't help but urge her, "Let's go, my boss."

Chen Yan walked back to the bar slowly with her head down. She took her handbag and slowly walked over, standing beside Zhang Youbin without saying anything.

Zhang Youbin took her to a pretty good restaurant nearby. Chen Yan didn't say a word from the time she sat down to the end of the meal. She only ate two mouthfuls.

Zhang Youbin left the restaurant with Chen Yan and Zhang Youbin. At the door, he asked, "There's nothing left at the bar, you should go home and rest early."

Chen Yan was still standing beside him, staring at him dumbly.

Zhang Youbin was helpless and asked, "Can you still drive now?"

Chen Yan shook her head and nodded again. She looked at Zhang Youbin resentfully and said: "I drank. You let me drink. You drive me home."

"I drank too," Zhang Youbin said.

Chen Yan said, "But your alcohol tolerance is good, so what's this little bit of alcohol to you?"

Zhang Youbin was so angry that his teeth hurt: "Never mind, I'll send you back."

They came to the parking lot and stood in front of Chen Yan's SLK350. Zhang Youbin said, "Give me the keys."

Chen Yan handed the keys over to Zhang Youbin. After the two of them entered the car, Chen Yan suddenly turned her head and looked at Zhang Youbin with a complicated expression. She asked, "Who the hell are you?"

Zhang Youbin knew she would ask this question, so he said calmly: "Have you forgotten my name?"

Chen Yan shook her head as she stared at him, "I'm not asking you this. I want to know what you do for a living. Why did you come to my bar to work as a waitress?"

Chen Yan had long wanted to clarify the problem. Today, Zhang Youbin had shocked her too much. She knew Zhang Youbin was definitely not an ordinary person, but she couldn't understand why he would barge into her life.

Zhang Youbin knew what Chen Yan was thinking, and said indifferently: "You don't need to know what I used to do, but now, I'm just a homeless person. I just returned to the Yanjing and don't have anything, so I came to your bar to work, and barely made a living."

Chen Yan looked at him coldly and said, "You liar, do you need money just by looking at your clothes?" Which item on your body isn't a top brand? Would you care about the bartender's small change? "

Zhang Youbin laughed involuntarily, then laughed at himself and said, "I bought all these before, I don't have a single cent on me when I come back this time."

Chen Yan asked, "Where's your money?"

Zhang Youbin leaned back in his seat and sighed with emotion, "I've spent all my money."

At this point, Zhang Youbin quickly said, "The two hundred thousand that Chen Feng gave me is fifty thousand. Don't you dare swallow it all for me."

Chen Yan curled her lips in disbelief and blurted out, "Liar! Give me your wallet. "

Zhang Youbin casually took out his wallet from his pocket and handed it to her.

Chen Yan looked at the limited edition Hermes man's wallet and said with disdain, "I knew you lied, you don't have a single piece of cheap stuff on you."

Zhang Youbin took out a cigarette, lit it up and smoked before saying, "Take a look to see what's inside."

Chen Yan didn't open her purse but asked in surprise, "You still smoke?"

Zhang Youbin nodded. "Smoke, but less."

Chen Yan agreed, "Smoking too much is not good for your health."

As she said that, she opened Zhang Youbin's wallet. To her surprise, it only contained around 100 yuan. Other than an old photo, she didn't even have a bank card.

Chen Yan curiously pulled out the slightly yellowish, worn out photo. It showed a family of three. The man and Zhang Youbin looked very similar. The woman was noble and elegant, a perfect beauty in ancient times. In the middle was a three or four-year-old child. The family of three laughed happily.

Chen Yan asked in surprise, "You're married?"

"What kind of gaze is that?" Zhang Youbin was a bit amused and said, "That was my parents, and that kid was me. I was only 3 years old at the time."

Chen Yan nodded thoughtfully. "Oh, no wonder it's so old."

Then he asked, "Where are your parents? Why aren't you with them? "

Zhang Youbin said with a wry smile, "My life was exchanged with theirs. How do you think I am with them?"

Chen Yan was taken aback. She pursed her lips and said softly, "I'm sorry."

Zhang Youbin smiled calmly, "It's nothing. It's been so many years."

Chen Yan didn't ask any more questions about Zhang Youbin's parents, but she believed Zhang Youbin's words. Chen Yan confirmed that this mysterious man didn't come for her, but she felt a little disappointed. After a while, she muttered, "Can you tell me about your past?"

Zhang Youbin shook his head and smiled, "Knowing those things is not good for you."

Chen Yan nodded and returned the photo to Zhang Youbin. Zhang Youbin kept his wallet and said calmly, "I'll take you home. Remember to point the way."

Zhang Youbin's expression was indifferent, but Chen Yan felt bitter inside. Now she finally understood that her guess that Zhang Youbin came to the bar to work for her was just making up a little too much.

Most of the time, she just lowered her head and thought about something. When they arrived at the entrance of Chen Yan's villa, Zhang Youbin parked the car and said, "Drive the car in by yourself, I'm going back."

Chen Yan asked gently, "Then how are you going to get back?"

Zhang Youbin said, "I'll take the City Iron back."

After saying that, he opened the door and got out of the car.

Chen Yan said hastily, "Take my car and go back. I think the rail is almost gone. I'll call a taxi there tomorrow."

Zhang Youbin was about to refuse, but Chen Yan stuffed the bag of money Chen Feng gave her into Zhang Youbin's arms. She quickly picked up the bag and got out of the car.

After saying that, he turned and ran into the district's gate.
