After sending off Mr. and Mrs. Cheng, Zhang Yu tidied up the house briefly and then went to soak in the bath.
The thing she was most satisfied with about renting this apartnt was the bathroom having a bathtub. As long as she wanted, she could take a bath every day.
Although the water and electricity bills were a bit expensive, Zhang Yu, who had a large sum of money, stated that as long as she was comfortable, money was not important.
After a delightful soak, Zhang Yu felt very comfortable when she returned to her room, picking up her phone to see if anyone had called her.
Seeing several incoming calls, even though there were no nas noted, Zhang Yu knew they must be from Cheng Jian.
While she was holding her phone, a call ca in, and although Zhang Yu intended to decline it, a careless slip ant she accidentally answered it.
Well, since she’s already answered it, she might as well take it; after all, she hasn’t done anything wrong against anyone.
Cheng Jian had called her nurous tis; his anger had reached its peak, and just when he was furious enough to rush out to find Zhang Yu, the call finally connected.
Cheng Jian: Zhang Yu, you finally answered the phone.
Zhang Yu calmly: What’s up?
Zhang Yu’s calm tone drove Cheng Jian crazy: Have you been dining with my parents?
Zhang Yu retorted: Why, is that not allowed?
Indeed, they really did have dinner together, Cheng Jian: We’ve already broken up. You wouldn’t think that getting close to my mom.
He really wouldn’t think that her dining with his parents was to win him back, would he?
Zhang Yu rolled her eyes unceremoniously, even though Cheng Jian wasn’t there, an eye roll was necessary.
Zhang Yu: I know we’ve broken up. I’ve always gotten along well with Aunt, and it has nothing to do with whether you’re my boyfriend or not.
Zhang Yu: You wouldn’t think that I’m still trying to rekindle things with you by pleasing Aunt.
Zhang Yu: Rest assured, everyone knows you’re about to leech off the Jiang Family.
Zhang Yu: Cheng Jian, I’m truly curious. Don’t you know your family’s conditions? Given what the Jiang Family has offered, do you think your parents can afford that?
Zhang Yu sneered: Although Aunt didn’t say anything, she did ask about my situation, I know she’s feeling bad inside.
Zhang Yu: Her heavily invested son turned out like this in the end, how could she not be heartbroken?
Zhang Yu: Soone who can treat his own mother like this, how well can he treat his girlfriend?
Zhang Yu: I’m truly thankful to you, at least we are just boyfriend and girlfriend.
Zhang Yu: Rest assured, only Jiang Lili would be willing to accept soone like you.
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, she hung up the phone. As for how heartbroken Cheng Jian would be, it wasn’t sothing she needed to consider.
Cheng Jian, staring at the phone that was now emitting a busy signal, was furious, really wanting to throw the phone out, but then thought about it, the phone still needed to be purchased.
He currently had little money in hand, so he needed to save whenever possible.
Cheng Jian recalled his parents’ disappointed expressions when they left and suddenly stood up. He wanted to find them now and have a chat.
He was aware that the Jiang Family wanted him to marry in, and that his future in-laws had only Jiang Lili as a daughter. He also knew his parents would never agree to him marrying in.
To make his parents agree, he proposed this idea, and as he expected, his parents agreed to the marriage, but they were disappointed in him.
But after thinking for a long ti, he couldn’t rember which hotel his parents were staying at. When he called them, they didn’t answer.
Calling Zhang Yu again, he imdiately got a busy signal, realizing he had been blocked by Zhang Yu.
Cheng Jian thought carefully for a long ti and recalled that his parents were leaving tomorrow, but what train they were on, he didn’t know.
But it didn’t matter; with limited trains going back, he just needed to stay at the station.
Thinking of this, Cheng Jian wanted to rest early to camp at the station tomorrow.
His idea seed fine, but he couldn’t resist Jiang Lili calling him, urging him to go to the bar.
Upon hearing Jiang Lili going to the bar again, his mood soured; she clearly said after marriage they should prepare for a baby so that they could ensure a bigger share before the old man passed away.
The idea was there, and they had a child, but after having the child, nothing in life changed; it was still the sa as before, partying at bars and singing karaoke, living as lavishly as before.
Cheng Jian never imagined a pregnant woman could be this unruly. He tried discouraging her, but each ti he was reprimanded by Jiang Lili.
Today’s visit to the bar made Cheng Jian feel truly exhausted. Previously, when accompanying Jiang Lili for prenatal examinations, he did ask the doctor, who advised that if there’s a baby, it’s best not to drink.
The doctor ntioned quitting smoking and drinking during conception, but Jiang Lili never adhered to this, causing the doctor to helplessly advise again that although she didn’t do it during conception, she should pay attention now.
However, Jiang Lili always stated that her good friend lived like this, whether conceiving or with a child, and managed to give birth anyway.
Having heard it firsthand and considering the doctors knew Jiang Lili’s reputation, they refrained from advising further, worrying the young lady might make a fuss.
Cheng Jian had t the friend Jiang Lili ntioned, and while the child was born, the problem was the child wasn’t doing well, practically an ill child.
He truly dared not think about what would happen if Jiang Lili had such a child.
Perhaps because Cheng Jian was silent for too long without a response, Jiang Lili was infuriated: What’s wrong with you? I told you to co over, do you have a problem with your hearing?
Cheng Jian, feeling helpless: My parents are leaving tomorrow.
He wanted to say he should accompany his parents, but hearing this, Jiang Lili sneered a few tis: It’s good they’re leaving. I have never seen such parents; their son is getting married, and they don’t prepare anything.
Jiang Lili: In their eyes, you’re no son, why do you care about them?
Jiang Lili: Cheng Jian, you must understand we are currently discussing marriage, not that we’re already married.
Jiang Lili: Even if we are married, it doesn’t matter; we can still divorce.
Jiang Lili: Cheng Jian, think carefully if you want to co over. If you don’t co today, whether there’s a hat on your head, I honestly don’t care.
Cheng Jian was truly angered by Jiang Lili’s words, understanding her threat, but knowing too, that Jiang Lili, when wildly partying, could realistically put a "colored hat" on his head.
He was truly regretful now, wondering why he had to get involved with Jiang Lili in the first place. The Jiang Family’s promises weren’t honored.
Of course, the bla was all placed on him, saying his poor performance was what ssed things up.
He really wanted to show so backbone, say break up and actually break up, not tolerating Jiang Lili.
But he lacked the nerve for that; breaking up with Jiang Lili ant essentially being kicked out of the unit. The Jiang Family might not help him get promoted, but they would ensure he couldn’t continue working there.
Cheng Jian was enraged: I’m coming, wait for .
Cheng Jian had no choice but to get up and grab his car keys.
Sitting in the car, he ssaged Zhang Yu and Mrs. Cheng, seeking to know when his parents were leaving.
