Yu Minglangâs arm, still wrapped around Hai Zhao, was sprayed with beer.
Disgusted, he grabbed a tissue to wipe it off. âYou donât have any foot-and- mouth disease or something that could infect me through droplets, do you?â âCough, cough!â Hai Zhao was still coughing.
It took a while before he finally patted his chest.
âI almost choked to death. If I die young, itâll be your fault â Yu Minglang, you didnât propose to her, you just directly told her you were going to her house? And youâre taking your mother with you?â
This story was simply the best of the year!
He couldnât take it anymore; he had to organize his thoughts into a text message and send it out to his friends; Hai Zhao almost died of laughter.
Yu Minglang watched him laughing like a madman, frowning.
âIs it that funny?â
He was serious. Going there with his parents, wasnât that enough to show his sincerity?
Should he have also taken his grandfather? But his grandfather was so oldâ¦
Hai Zhao hammered the table, laughing uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face.
âYour girlfriend, the top student goddess, didnât break up with you?â
âHow could she possibly break up with me!â
Yu Minglang couldnât bear to hear the word âbreak upâ now. He became anxious whenever it was mentioned.
It felt like a combination of embarrassment and anger that only got worse the more it was described.
Seeing his dark face, Hai Zhao tried to keep a straight face, but ended up bursting out laughing.
âIf you keep going crazy, Iâll beat you!â Yu Minglang waved his fist, and Hai Zhao closed his mouth.
But his cheeks were still puffed up with laughter. After absorbing this joke, he finally gave Yu Minglang some advice.
âYou canât do this. By doing this, youâre risking being single for life. You have to be more sincere.â
âHow is this insincere? If she werenât a bit young, I would have wanted her to experience more of a young personâs life, and would have married her directly.â
With marriage as the premise of their relationship, this was a promise the two of them had made when they got together.
Under the influence of Father Yu, the children of the Yu family were instilled with the idea that a man should treat his wife well â except for Yu Er.
However, Boss Yu and Youngest Brother Yu were absolute believers in this theory.
When Boss Yu met his wife, he was already a small boss with a bit of success in his career. He never bought anything for anyone he was casually dating, and people said he was stingy.
But after meeting Eldest Sister-in-law, they got married in a flash, and from then on, he bought things like there was no tomorrow.
Eldest Sister-in-law wasnât materialistic and would sometimes advise her husband against buying so much, but she couldnât stop him. Boss Yu always insisted on buying things, and eventually, she became numb to it and let him do what he wanted.
Under Father Yuâs influence, the men of the Yu family had a strange mentality: Spending money on their wives was honorable, but spending it on other women was disgraceful. Yu Minglang was clearly deeply influenced by this idea, and when he first met Xiao Mei, he wanted to bring her under his wing and treat her well.
Marriage was the most important thing to the men of the Yu family â except for Yu Er.
Hai Zhao was left speechless by his righteous indignation.
âYou think getting married is good for the young lady, but what does she think?â
âOf course she thinks the same. Why would I be dating her if we werenât going to get married? Great people have said that all love affairs without the goal of marriage are abnormal, like you!â
So far, Comrade Yu Minglang felt wronged beyond words, his heart burning with passion, while Xiao Qian was helpless like the moonlight shining in the gutter.
âFine, you say Iâm abnormal. But at least Iâm a man who can make girls happy, right? Yu Minglang, youâre sincere, but youâre disliked!â
Yu Minglang slammed the table, âWho dislikes me? My Xiao Mei likes me! You wait, Iâll call and prove it!â
Digging out his phone, he glanced at it and pretended to say,
âThereâs no signal here.â
Hai Zhao was almost grinning behind his ears.
âYouâve been coming here for a while now, donât you know thereâs no signal in the home appliance store?â
The home appliance store had signal interference, and the reception in the back was often poor. Yu Minglang was clearly scared and didnât dare to make the call.
âHonestly, for a man to have lived as you have, I should give you a few sympathetic laughs, but now I pity your girlfriend â the little beauty.â
It was quite pathetic to be stuck with someone like Yu Minglang, who didnât even know how to propose.
âWhy do you pity her? Sheâs going to marry me in the future, and Iâll do everything I can to make her better than any other woman!â
He certainly had this determination to strive for.
Hai Zhao made a nauseating vomiting gesture, âSay that to her, not to me! If you say this when you propose, how could she hang up on you?â
âYou mean, sheâs unhappy because I didnât say anything nice? Yu Minglang shook his head in denial, âImpossible, my Xiao Mei isnât that kind of girl. Sheâs very rational and mature.â
âWhat does this have to do with maturity and rationality? 99% of girls hope to be sincerely proposed to by the man they love. You want her to be that 1%, and you even use âmaturityâ to restrain her. Seriously, Yu Minglang, if you ever get dumped, I wouldnât be surprised at all.â
Yu Minglang let out a sound, suddenly enlightened.
So thatâs why Xiao Mei hung up on him.
Yes, now that you mention it, it makes sense!
If Xiao Mei was really angry, she would have just taken off the battery and ignored him. But she picked up three times in a row, and on the last one, it rang once and then hung upâ¦
Feeling a cold sweat from the memory, Yu Minglang pretended to be calm and took a swig from the beer bottle, suppressing his anxiety as he asked,
âSo, if I didnât get it right three times in a row, and the last time it only rang once before hanging up, what should I do?â
âItâs simple. Give her all your money.â
âSo sheâll forgive me and not be angry anymore?â Most of his money was with her anyway. Last time they fought, Xiao Mei said she made more than ten thousand yuan in stocks. How capable this daughter-in-law was!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo, this is compensation for the emotional distress you caused her. After you pay her, just commit harakiri. Seriously, you can get away with this once or twice, but you actually did it three or four times! No woman would want you, especially a young lady with looks, intelligence, and a successful financial background â by the way, I heard her family got their house demolished. Sheâs still a rich second-generation. Yu Minglang, what do you have besides being a little dumb?â
Even Hai Zhao knew that Yu Minglangâs family background was astonishing, but his father was a nearly unfathomable old man who, despite his successful career, didnât provide any of his children with the convenience of connections.
So without his family background, Yu Minglang was just a good-looking, hardworking man. It was quite normal for Xiao Qian to not be interested in him.
Especially since he couldnât even figure it out after four attempts; even an ordinary girl would have been angry by now.
Although this was a sad story, Hai Zhao couldnât help but want to laugh. He wasnât trying to take pleasure in Yu Minglangâs misfortunes, but who else was to blame for digging his own grave?
