Since he had accomplished his mission, Lu Yumo figured that he should get going. Before he left, even though he had scored seventh from the bottom in his school examination, he still pointed at Fu Zhiâs phone and said through gritted teeth, âRemember what I said!â
Fu Zhi sighed speechlessly.
The few girls around Tian Nuo blinked their eyes and suddenly saw the light. Initially, they had all thought Lu Yumo had given the mango milkshake to Fu Zhi because Zhou Tingting was absent today, but it now seemed to them that things were not quite the same as Tian Nuo had said.
Apparently, the mango milkshake had not been bought for Zhou Tingting. Lu Yumo had skipped class and climbed over the wall to buy this beverage for Fu Zhi because he knew she loved to drink beverages.
âI think Lu Yumoâs very nice to Fu Zhi. So is the Lu Family. They take great care of her!â
âYeah, right. They even donated a lot of money to the school for her. I donât think Zhou Tingting has this kind of privilege.â
...
Tian Nuo listened to their conversation and gripped her phone tightly.
She rolled her eyes at Fu Zhi and chided her inwardly. âWhat a goody-two-shoes.â
Then, she sent a message to Zhou Tingting. âTingting, when are you coming back? You wonât believe what just happened this morning. That Fu Zhi is really shameless. Sheâs messing with your boyfriend while youâre gone. She even asked him to buy her your favorite beverage! What the hell was that for? Is she trying to prove to all of us that Lu Yumo belongs to her?â
Zhou Tingting did not send Tian Nuo a message back.
In the past, Zhou Tingting would have paid close attention to everything about Fu Zhi. After all, if there was something she had to do, that would be compare herself to Fu Zhi and prove to everyone that she was better than her.
However, things were slightly different today.
After being chased away from the capital, she was now in a restaurant in Yu City.
Today was the day her family was meeting her brotherâs girlfriendâs family.
Zhou Tingtingâs father was a gambler, and her motherâs health was poor. Therefore, on a major occasion like this one, she was the only one who could represent her family.
After they chatted for a while, Zhou Tingting got to the point. âMy brother loves Tiantian from the bottom of his heart, so I think we shouldnât delay the engagement any further. The eighth day of the next lunar month will be a good day.â
Liu Tian was the Liu Familyâs youngest daughter. She had turned 20 years old this year and she was three years older than Zhou Tingtingâs brother. She had also dropped out of high school and was working at her familyâs steamboat restaurant right now.
Zhou Tingtingâs brother had been in love with her for more than one year, and she came from a well-to-do family.
Truth be told, Zhou Tingtingâs mother, Madam Zhou, did not quite approve of the marriage. She had heard that the Lu Family had adopted a daughter, and since her daughter was in a relationship with Lu Yumo, she was confident that, given her sonâs outstanding appearance, it would be a piece of cake for him to seduce Fu Zhi.
Then, the Lu Familyâs wealth would be theirs.
However, her son did not want to marry anyone other than Liu Tian. Therefore, she had no other option but to approve the marriage.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Liu Tianâs father said, âLetâs not get into that for now. First, we need you to buy a house for my daughter in the city center.â
Even though Yu City was a small city, a 60-square-meter house was going to cost about 900,000 yuan.
This was not a small amount of money, so Zhou Tingting frowned. âThis is just an engagement, and buying a house in the city center isnât chump change either. Donât you think thatâs a bit too much?â
âOwning a house or property is a basic requirement to get married. Even though this is just an engagement, they will get married eventually. As parents, we just want the best for our kid. Is that too much to ask?â
Liu Tianâs mother chimed in, âWeâre not saying that we will not contribute anything. Weâll take care of the fit-up fee. Tiantian is a registered urban resident, and there are plenty of rich people whoâd be willing to buy a house or car for her. However, since she wants to settle down with your brother, we donât have anything to say. Theyâre going to be engaged soon, so if you donât buy a house for her, are you going to let my daughter stay in a rented house with your brother? Iâm not going to allow this!â
Liu Tianâs father added, âAnd you said your family is rich? If you donât have a house, then youâd better not get married!â
