NovelEnglish“It all happened in the past. Who had never made a mistake before? I’m just unlucky that I dated that slag.”
Lu Lixing nodded in agreement.
The two of them entered the house. Mother Ji ignored them, instead, she only took care of Yu Yang. Several Chinese mitten crabs were all placed in front of him.
Lu Lixing sat across from Yu Yang and looked at him coldly.
Yu Yang’s eyes were lowered, and he was acting humbler than before now that he was sitting across from Lu Lixing.
‘Yu Yang, what did you say your family is doing now? I often hear people gossip about how Zhengxin International is very famous. It’s a pity that Qingqing’s father and I are uneducated, so we don’t know what you actually do at your company.”
Yu Yang glanced at Lu Lixing and smiled, “We’re just an ordinary Internet company.”
“Internet company? I heard that Internet companies are making fortunes right now! You are so young, yet you already have a net worth of two billion yuan! You are simply the most outstanding man from all of your peers. No one can compare to you!” Mother Ji glanced at Lu Lixing when she said this and smiled, “Are you Qingqing’s boyfriend?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLu Lixing nodded, “Yes.”
“What do you do for a living?”
“I work for a technology company. I usually process some documents there.”
Ji Qingqing was currently drinking water, when she heard Lu Lixing’s answer, she almost spat out the water she was drinking.
Lu Lixing’s description of his job was really accurate and inaccurate at the same time. Did he work night and day just to process some documents?
“Processing documents?” The contempt underneath Mother Ji’s eyes deepened, “So, you’re just a small-time clerk then? How much can you earn in a month? Can you afford to raise my family’s Qingqing?”
“I will work hard.”
Mother Ji laughed, “What’s the use of hard work? Can you ever be as good as Yu Yang in your life? Do you know about Yu Yang’s family’s situation? He lives in a large villa and he has money to hire aunties and housekeepers. The maintenance of everything costs over 300,000 yuan a month. How many years will it take for you to earn 300,000 yuan?”
Yu Yang interrupted her, “Auntie, everything belongs to my parents…”
“What belongs to your parents, also belongs to you. Some people can work for a lifetime and never achieve the wealth you have.”
Yu Yang nervously watched Lu Lixing.
“Okay, let’s not talk too much.” Father Ji looked at Yu Yang’s expression and smiled, “We should drink some wine on such a happy occasion. Qingqing gave me a few bottles of expensive wine a while ago. I was unwilling to drink it myself because it’s so expensive. Let’s drink a bottle today!”
Yu Yang felt restless as he sat opposite of Lu Lixing. He nodded and smiled, “Okay, let open a bottle and have a taste.”
Father Ji took out a bottle of red wine from the kitchen while Mother Ji prepared a few wine glasses. When she handed the wine class to Lu Lixing, Mother Ji specifically said, “This is a bottle of wine that Qingqing bought for us. It cost five figures. You can also try some.”
Lu Lixing’s expression did not change. He nodded his head lightly and said, “Then I will have to properly taste the wine you give me.”
Father Ji carefully poured the wine for the people at the table.
Ji Qingqing took a small sip of the wine, unlike the usually strong and spicy beer she drank in her previous life, this red wine was mellow and rich. The sweet, sour, and bitter flavors burst in her mouth when she drank it.
It was delicious!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMother Ji smiled and asked Yu Yang, “How is it? Is this wine okay?”
Yu Yang nodded and could barely force himself to smile, “This wine is very good.”
“You don’t have to compliment the wine this much. This wine is definitely not as good as the ones you usually drink. Just drink it casually.” Mother Ji turned to Lu Lixing again and asked, “Have you ever drank this kind of wine before?”
Lu Lixing put down his wine glass and shook his head honestly.
He really had never drunk a bottle of wine that cost five figures.
“Then you’re surely blessed today. You can drink more if you like it. When you leave this house, you will probably never be able to drink this kind of wine again.”
Ji Qingqing glanced at Mother Ji and said, “This wine is too cheap, he usually doesn’t drink this kind of wine.”
Mother Ji believed that Ji Qingqing was merely helping her boyfriend keep his pride intact, so she ignored them.
“Yu Yang, come and drink more wine.”
“Thank you, auntie. I can pour it myself.”
“Why are you being so polite? When you’re here, you can consider this your second home!”
Mother and Father Ji only attended to Yu Yang’s needs. Lu Lixing sat there quietly. Even though Ji Qingqing’s parents ignored him, he didn’t feel embarrassed.
