The first love of ten years apart is reunited today. They are in a cafe, slowly drinking coffee while talking about their life after graduation. This time, her heart no longer ebbs and flows when they meet. She just politely answered his questions. From his eyes, he could no longer read his watery tenderness. What she read between the conversations was desire - the desire for money. She knew his intentions. He wanted to use their previous relationship to get a position in her husband's company and opened his mouth to borrow $10 million from her.

"Everything was a lie; his ultimate goal in contacting me was to get money and status from me." She thought. She suddenly felt uneasy.

He said, "My brother's company is now in trouble, its capital is not working, if the bank loan is not repaid within these 4 days, the company will have to be declared bankrupt, then my grandfather's life's work will be buried in his hands." Saying that he left tears in his eyes.

He said: "I know you love me, I love you more after we graduated, I looked for you for ten years, thank God for letting me find you today, pity me for loving you and thinking about you for so many years! You give me 10 million first, I know your husband is rich, he is a billionaire."

She said, "10 million is not a small amount, I can't find a proper reason to ask him for money."

He said: "Your family is so rich, look at the clothing and jewelry, bags, also worth a lot of money, right? You must have a lot of private money, right?" She said, "I don't have any personal money." He was anxious and said, "You usually have to save some private money, look at your husband is rich and handsome, there must be many young and beautiful girls out there, you have to plan for your future." She said: "Yes, I can't lie to you. So far, I've only saved 16 million, which is for my parents' retirement money. My parents only have one child, I have to be responsible for them, and I have to plan for their future retirement. Therefore, the $16 million is now in my parents' name and is no longer my money, making it my retirement money saved in their names. I am worried that if one day my parents suddenly become seriously ill and have no money for treatment, if I have no money in my hands and open my mouth to ask my husband for money to treat my parents, at that time, I am afraid my husband can't get that much money for a while ......

Hearing her words, his eyes flashed two golden lights and said: "You go tomorrow to take out the money for me to use. My brother's company will return it to you immediately after it gets over the hump."

She hesitated and said, "I've already told my parents that the money is for their retirement. How can I take it out? It's a death deposit."

He said, "You still don't trust me, do you? You can tell your parents that your husband's company is experiencing cash flow difficulties, so take the money out first to help your husband tide over the difficulties, and then give them the money after the crisis."

She said: "I'll think about it, but I never tell a lie, my parents look at my demeanor at once will wear."

"Lend it to me, I'll give you interest, certainly higher than the bank's deposit interest, give you 1 cent interest, you give me an account number, I will call you the interest every year, anyway, your husband has plenty of money, your family does not lack anything, you do not have to spend anything yourself. Your parents are now only 40 years old, are receiving wages, to old age early, and they are old and have retirement wages, there is no shortage of money ah ......"

She said: "The sky is unpredictable, people have a day and night disaster. If by chance, when my parents get sick, my husband's company is not doing well or is short of money, and I can't borrow money to treat my parents, then my parents' lives will be threatened ......" Hearing him asking for money on various excuses over and over again, she felt a sense of disgust in her heart. The good feeling of reunion that she had imagined at the beginning has disappeared. Although she still cherished the emotion of their first love, the mention of money, especially a huge amount of money, she still hesitated, in all human feelings, she believed that no feelings can be more precious than parental affection. She finally woke up.

She is a family person, although the couple is not very good, she lives the life of an enviable upper-class noblewoman. A body of famous brands, bejeweled. "It's better to be born well than to marry well." Her girlfriends often say of her with envy. Her mother's family also followed the glory and got many discounts. She suddenly felt that they were secretly dating and sorry for her husband, she did not want to be wrong again, she wanted to forget the past and cherish the person in front of her.

She finally made up her mind, deleted all contact information about him, applied for the original cell phone shutdown, and replaced it with a new cell phone and number.

She fell seriously ill and was in a coma for three days. When she woke up, she had amnesia, she forgot his name and everything that had happened between them.
