After negotiating with Chu Qi about his official contract, Fang Ya asked Wang Xu and Chu Qi to start drafting out plans.
The two of them were around the same age, so they had a pleasant chat.
The morning passed quickly.
Fang Ya had to rush home to have lunch with Tang Tang, so she left Wang Xu to continue discussing matters with Chu Qi.
The large woman knew that Wang Xu was going to stay, so she happily prepared lunch. No matter what, she wanted Wang Xu to go home for lunch.
Wang Xu could not refuse her kind offer, so she followed the woman home.
The large woman looked at Wang Xu’s slightly thin figure and could not help but shake her head. “You have to eat more. It’s not good for child-bearing when you get married in the future.”
It took a single sentence to turn Wang Xu’s face red.
The large woman looked at Wang Xu’s blushing face and the corners of her mouth curled up. “How is it? How’s it going with your little boyfriend?”
Wang Xu’s face became even redder as she lowered her head and ate the rice.
The large woman could see that Wang Xu was shy, but she did not intend to show her any mercy.
“Hey! If you ask me, hurry up and get married while you’re young. Have children as soon as possible. Everything is best to be done as soon as possible!” the large woman said earnestly.
Wang Xu could not help but sigh when she heard those words.
“What’s the matter? Are you guys fighting?” The large woman looked at Wang Xu in surprise. “It doesn’t look like it! You clearly look like a happy little woman!”
Wang Xu put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at the Fat Auntie. He pouted his lips for a long time. “My parents don’t quite agree with us being together.”
“Why not?” The large woman looked at Wang Xu oddly.
“Li Tong is such a good kid! He’s obedient, handsome, and he’s a sweet talker!” The large woman could not help but praise him.
Wang Xu listened to the large woman’s words and started nodding, but suddenly shook her head in frustration. “But my parents think he doesn’t have money!”
“He doesn’t have money?” The woman blinked in surprise. “He’s the only person in our neighborhood who has a car besides Fang Ya!”
“He drives a car every day. How...” the large woman said and suddenly paused. “What’s that word again?”
“Extravagant?” Wang Xu leaned over slightly and guessed.
The large woman clapped her hands and said, “That’s right! That’s the word! Extravagant!”
“The young man is so good. Why wouldn’t your parents like him?” the large woman asked curiously.
Wang Xu sighed. She had lost her appetite. “Li Tong did not come from the best of families, so my parents decided that he would be unable to give me a stable life in the future.”
“But the young man is working hard on his own. Isn’t that enough?” The large woman frowned in disagreement.
Wang Xu’s shoulders collapsed. Obviously, she was at a loss.
The large woman patted Wang Xu on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry! As long as the two of you are fine, these problems will definitely be solved in the future!”
Although Wang Xu was not as optimistic as the large woman, she had no other choice in the end. She could only take it one step at a time.
She stayed at the large woman’s house until the afternoon when she received a call from Li Tong. She waited there obediently for Li Tong to come to pick her up.
After getting into the car, Wang Xu looked at Li Tong strangely. “What’s so urgent?”
Li Tong had stammered over the phone but did not say much. He only said that he would pick Wang Xu up in twenty minutes.
Wang Xu did not know what exactly happened. She only sensed Li Tong’s nervousness.
Li Tong looked at Wang Xu and the next second, he pulled her into his arms.
Wang Xu subconsciously pushed Li Tong away. “There are people outside!”
Li Tong did not intend to let go and hugged Wang Xu even tighter.
A moment later, Li Tong finally let go and sat down to look at the road in front of her.
Wang Xu felt that Li Tong was acting oddly, but she did not know how to broach the topic.
Li Tong did not say anything. He started the car and drove slowly forward.
Li Tong did not stop the car until they reached the edge of a forest in the suburbs.
“What are we doing here?” Wang Xu looked at the quiet greens outside and then at the setting sun.
Li Tong opened the door and got out of the car. He did not answer Wang Xu.
Wang Xu frowned slightly and followed him out of the car.
The two of them stood in front of the car and leaned against the car, quietly staying there.
After a long time, Li Tong said, “Let’s break up!”
When Wang Xu heard that, her eyes widened as she looked at Li Tong. “What did you say?”
Li Tong sighed and turned to face Wang Xu. He said earnestly, “I said, let’s break up!”
Wang Xu frowned and grew furious. “Say that again!”
Li Tong was about to speak, but Wang Xu reached out to stop him. “Is it because of my parents?”
Li Tong shook his head and said, “It’s my fault... It’s my fault!”
Wang Xu was done listening.
She tried hard to control her emotions. After a while, she said, “Send me back!”
Li Tong did not say anything. He walked back to the car, opened the car door, and sat inside.
Wang Xu looked at Li Tong’s actions and felt a wave of bitterness welling up in her eyes.
She tried to take a deep breath to stop the tears from falling.
In the car, Wang Xu did not say a word.
Li Tong did not speak either.. He quietly started the car and slowly drove away from the forest.
