Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 109 The Last Cup

Lin Ye was adjusting Shirley Denpa for Miyano Akemi when Katsuhiko Minagawa stood up from his seat and walked behind Miyano Akemi.

Guan Guxiang turned her head and looked at him nervously.

[What does Ke Yan want to do now? ]

Lin Ye also looked up at him, raised the corner of his mouth, and continued with the work in his hands.

Miyano Akemi turned around and looked at the young man who crawled to her feet and called her mother the day before yesterday, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"terribly sorry."

Katsuhiko Minagawa suddenly bowed deeply and spoke loudly.

"Why are you apologizing to me?"

"I'm really sorry for causing you trouble with what happened the night before yesterday."

Miyano Akemi smiled and said, "It's okay. I don't take it to heart."

Seeing this, Guan Guxiang, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief and looked pleased.

Katsuhiko Minagawa returned to sit next to Sekiya Kaoru.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like a mama?"

"Nothing, I just feel relieved that you, Ke Yan, have finally grown up a little."

Katsuhiko Minagawa was stunned, looking at Guan Yaxiang's face. She didn't look like him at all, but she reminded him of his deceased mother.

[Yes, it’s the tone of voice]

Guan Guxiang grew up with him and had met his mother many times. When it comes to understanding his mother, I'm afraid no other woman can compare to her.

The words she just said, subconsciously imitating the tone of Minagawa Katsuhiko's mother, made Minagawa Katsuhiko see the shadow of the past in her.

"Katsuhiko, what's wrong?" Guan Yaxiang felt a little embarrassed by being stared at by Katsuhiko Minagawa, and said with a red face.

As soon as her face turned red, the mature feeling disappeared.

"Ah Xiang, can you talk to me like you did just now from now on?"

"Ah? You think I'm an old lady? I don't want to."

Minagawa Katsuhiko looked at Sekiya Ka's face.

[If Ah Xiang becomes a real mother, she will definitely be more like...]

"Ms. Yami, your Shirley Denbo."

Lin Ye pushed the prepared drink in front of Miyano Akemi and glanced at Minagawa Katsuhiko.

He seemed to want to turn his childhood best friend into a mother...

After that, the two of them had a few more drinks and looked a little drunk.

After drinking, Katsuhiko Minagawa finally revealed his troubles.

"That old lady in my family asked me for money again. It's so annoying."

Guan Guxiang said: "I heard Aunt Lily say that Uncle Minagawa's business seems to be in trouble, so she asked you to borrow money."

Minagawa Katsuhiko snorted and said, "If Uncle is in trouble, why doesn't he tell me himself instead of letting that greedy woman speak?"

"He is your uncle after all. He would be embarrassed to ask a junior like you for a loan."

"It's his problem to save face."

"Don't say that. It's not easy for uncle, and Ajin is still so young. If uncle goes bankrupt, their family will have a hard time."

"Don't worry, if the time really comes, I won't let them starve to death." Katsuhiko Minagawa took a sip of wine with a cold expression.

Guan Guxiang sighed slightly and said no more.

However, Lin Ye heard the sigh in Katsuhiko Minagawa's heart.

[Alas, if I still had that much money, I would have lent it to them long ago. But over the years, I have spent money like water, especially after entering college. Brand-name clothes, brand-name watches, sports cars, and expensive gifts for women...]

[There is not much left of the inheritance left by my parents, and my uncle owes such a large sum of money. Even if I take out all the remaining money, it can't fill this huge hole.]

[A Xiang, it’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s just that I don’t have that much money] “Another drink.”

Katsuhiko Minagawa drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and slammed the empty glass on the table.

Lin Ye made him another hi-ball, but reduced the proportion of whiskey.

"You two are students of Mihua University, right?" Lin Ye asked as he pushed the wine glass out.

"What major?"

"In the medical department, Katsuhiko is studying clinical surgery, and I'm studying nursing," replied Sekiya Kaori.

Lin Ye looked at Minagawa Katsuhiko and said with a smile: "So you will become a surgeon in the future, which is a very promising career."

"Haha, okay."

Katsuhiko Minagawa looked away feeling somewhat guilty.

As the president of the tennis club, his university life is very exciting. He is often confessed to by girls. At night, he has a colorful nightlife and is very lively.

Except for one thing, learning.

He was busy enjoying his youth. In his opinion, studying was a waste of time.

But recently he began to realize that the money left by his parents seemed to be insufficient.

The question is where the new money will come from after it runs out.

When Lin Ye saw his expression, he guessed about 70% of the answer.

He has seen many young people like this in various bars.

He was well-dressed, generous, and his face was full of confidence.

They come to the bar to drink and have fun, enjoying the beauty of youth.

Some of them come from quite wealthy families. Even if they do nothing and spend their days in debauchery, they cannot spend all the family money.

Lin Ye is very welcoming to such guests and never says too much.

If they don't spend money a little, how can they live up to the huge assets accumulated by their parents and even grandparents through hard work, and how can other young people have any chance?

There are also some young people who come from ordinary families but are dazzled by the colorful world and join in the pursuit of pleasure.

Then when they graduate, Lin Ye will see confused faces, and then gradually become depressed, with more and more fatigue accumulating in their eyes, until the youthful smiles completely disappear.

When Lin Ye first started working as a bartender, he tried to persuade such customers, but later found that this had no effect other than making them unhappy.

Blinded by the beauty of youth, they neglect the future and fail to heed the advice of those around them.

After seeing this many times, Lin Ye gradually learned to respect the fate of his guests.

He only speaks when guests actively seek his advice.

Oh, of course, occasionally there would be rich young men whose families had fallen on hard times coming to the store. Some would still pretend to be proud and order the same wine as before, while others would express their true feelings and cry bitterly.

Among them, there are very few who can cheer up and revitalize their family, and their chances of success are even lower than those of children from ordinary families.

So when he saw Katsuhiko Minagawa's expression, he immediately guessed what his situation was like in school.

This guy is not a rich man, he just inherited a fortune.

Obviously, this inheritance was not enough for him to live on for the rest of his life.

I'm afraid this kid hasn't thought carefully about the future.

It’s no wonder. For a teenager, the sudden death of his parents is like the world falling apart.

This made him live in a state of self-abandonment and he had no time to think about the future.

After thinking for a while, Lin Ye said, "Mr. Jiechuan, let's have one last drink."

"The last one?"

Katsuhiko Minagawa wanted to say that he was not drunk yet, but when he saw Lin Ye's serious expression, he stopped.

He asked, "What kind of wine is it?"
