The Xu family went bankrupt, and Xu Yao was heavily indebted. Everyone said that her rich fiancé Shen Yan was Xu Yao's last straw.
Three years later, Xu Yao, however, proactively propose...
009: Why can’t you bear it!
Xu Yao is in the Wen family.
Although Xu Yao and Wen Yiyi have never gotten along well, the adults of the Xu and Wen families are friends, and Xu Yao has visited the Wen family many times before.
This was the first time Xu Yao stepped into the Wen family's door after the Xu family went bankrupt.
At first, when Xu Yao said she was married, Lin Meixian didn't believe it.
However, knowing that Xu Yao had asked for a few days' leave from the company, Lin Meixian was worried about her daughter, so she went to Xu Yao's rented house in person tonight to have a mother-daughter talk. Unexpectedly, when she arrived, she saw that the rental house had been vacated, and Lin Meixian panicked.
Xu Yao was tidying up in Shenghai Garden when she received a call from Lin Meixian.
Lin Meixian asked Xu Yao where she was, and Xu Yao said she had moved to her new husband's house. Lin Meixian felt dizzy at that moment.
This was not the first time Xu Yao mentioned marriage in front of Lin Meixian. The more Lin Meixian listened, the more it seemed real.
"Yaoyao, you are confused!"
Lin Meixian was furious when she thought that her daughter was really marrying someone else in such a hurry.
A woman’s marriage is no less than a second life. Lin Meixian understands this better than anyone else, and she thinks Xu Yao should understand it too.
Lin Meixian did not blame Xu Yao too much on the phone. Two hours later, Xu Yao received a call from Wen Zhicheng.
"Uncle Wen."
"Come home and see your mother."
This was also the first time that Wen Zhicheng made such a tough request to Xu Yao.
…
After Lin Meixian returned, she locked herself in the room. Wen Zhicheng thought Lin Meixian was sick, and Lin Meixian cried and told him about Xu Yao's flash marriage.
"Zhicheng, I'm an unfit mother!"
Wen Zhicheng didn't know how to comfort Lin Meixian.
Put yourself in her shoes. If it was Wen Yiyi who got married to a stranger whom Wen Zhicheng didn't know without her consent, Wen Zhicheng's reaction would probably be even greater than Lin Meixian's!
Whoever has a child loves him or her, and similarly, whoever has a child can only educate him or her. Wen Zhicheng and Lin Meixian have not yet married, so his identity is really embarrassing.
Seeing Lin Meixian in pain, Wen Zhicheng had no choice but to call Xu Yao. After a few years, Xu Yao once again stepped into the Wen family's door.
Before Xu Yao met Lin Meixian, she met Wen Yiyi first.
Wen Yiyi leaned on the sofa, very sarcastic: "Xu Yao, I heard that you had a flash marriage with a man?"
This time, Xu Yao was not polite to Wen Yiyi: "It is my freedom to marry whomever I want. Are you so curious because you are in a hurry to give me a wedding gift? It's better not to ask for it, otherwise I will have to return the gift when you get married, and I don't want to attend your wedding."
Wen Yiyi sat up straight, the curiosity on her face turning into shock and anger.
"How dare you—"
"How dare I speak to you in this manner?"
Xu Yao interrupted Wen Yiyi, "Why shouldn't I be afraid? I've always tolerated your arrogance not because I'm afraid of you, but because I don't want to affect the relationship between Uncle Wen and my mother. I hope my mother and Uncle Wen can be happy, so I'm willing to give in to you. I also understand your fear that the Wen family will be burdened with debts for the Xu family, so I signed new IOUs with the creditors... I did everything I could, and I have a clear conscience no matter who I am in front of!"
Three years after the Xu family went bankrupt, Xu Yao has grown up under the beatings of society, while Wen Yiyi is still a little princess in the ivory tower.
Wen Yiyi thought that Xu Yao and Lin Meixian were plotting to take over the Wen family's property, so Xu Yao was tolerant in everything. Little did she know that Xu Yao had never coveted anything from the Wen family. All her tolerance was only for Lin Meixian's happiness!
Now, Xu Yao has done everything she can to help her mother Lin Meixian remarry. As she herself said, since she has done everything with a clear conscience, why should she retreat again and again?
Wen Yiyi was choked by Xu Yao's attitude.
Xu Yao like this reminded Wen Yiyi of the past, when she always suffered a loss in front of Xu Yao.
Coming back to her senses, Wen Yiyi's anger turned into joy, as if she had caught Xu Yao's little pigtail: "Great, your fox tail is finally exposed. You have been acting so that your mother can marry into the Wen family! Why don't you act now? My dad hasn't married your mother yet!"
Xu Yao looked at her as if she was a fool.
"I trust Uncle Wen's judgment."
If this is not enough to reassure Wen Zhicheng, then Wen Zhicheng is not a good destination for Lin Meixian.
Wen Yiyi wanted to speak, but Wen Zhicheng scolded her from upstairs: "Wen Yiyi, where are your manners!"
Xu Yao looked up and saw Wen Zhicheng's hand on the second-floor railing. He didn't know how long he had been standing there.
Xu Yao was not afraid that Wen Zhicheng would hear her conversation with Wen Yiyi. This was Xu Yao's statement. She was worried that Wen Yiyi wouldn't understand, so it would be better to tell it to a smart person like Wen Zhicheng!
Wen Zhicheng scolded Wen Yiyi, but spoke gently to Xu Yao: "Yiyi has been spoiled by me, don't bother with her. Come up, your mother is in the room."
Xu Yao went upstairs, Wen Yi was anxious.
Wen Zhicheng asked Xu Yao and Lin Meixian to have a good talk, and he called his own daughter Wen Yiyi, who looked aggrieved, to the study.
Xu Yao knocked on the door gently.
Lin Meixian's voice was weak: "Come in."
Xu Yao walked in, and Lin Meixian turned her head away and wiped her tears with her hands.
"mom--"
Xu Yao snuggled up to Lin Meixian and said, "Don't be angry with me. I don't want you to be sad."
Lin Meixian was not angry at all, she was more distressed.
The mother and daughter were silent for a long time. After a while, Lin Meixian asked Xu Yao in a hoarse voice, "Are you really getting married?"
Xu Yao nodded slightly.
Lin Meixian sighed, "Then there is no possibility for you and Shen Yan anymore."
Xu Yao nodded again, "I know."
Things have come to this point, no matter how much she blames Xu Yao for being impulsive, Lin Meixian cannot change the situation.
If only the Xu family hadn’t gone bankrupt.
Lin Meixian sighed countless times.
After the Xu family went bankrupt, Shen Yan's mother's attitude changed. Lin Meixian was not unaware, but she pretended not to care. Marriage is based on affection, and even more so, material things. Shen Yan was the best choice Xu Yao could afford. If Xu Yao could only endure her anger and marry into the Shen family, she would have no worries about material life for the rest of her life.
But Xu Yao couldn't bear it.
Xu Qinghua always said that his daughter should be raised in wealth, and he did so. He used his affluent life to foster Xu Yao's pride.
Lin Meixian loved her late husband deeply, and at this moment she wanted to scold him: You might as well just die. Yaoyao is so strong-willed, I wonder how much suffering she will have to endure in the future!
At this point, Lin Meixian perked up and asked Xu Yao, "Tell me, what kind of person is he?"
Lin Meixian asked about Xu Yao's flash marriage husband.
When Lin Meixian heard that Gu Jun was Xu Yao's senior in high school, she felt relieved, as at least there was some emotional basis for them.
When talking about Gu Jun's career, Lin Meixian felt mixed emotions.
A mother-in-law would be delighted to have a son-in-law who could become a senior engineer. But with Chen Yan as her role model, and Gu Jun only being an engineer, Lin Meixian couldn't help but feel regretful.
Xu Yao said that Gu Jun bought a house in Shenghai Garden, and Lin Meixian could roughly estimate Gu Jun's income and wealth.
Objectively speaking, the person Xu Yao married suddenly was not bad, but his reincarnation skills were not good enough and his family background was too poor!
Xu Yao didn't mention the prenuptial agreement, and Lin Meixian didn't even ask about it.
How could an engineer help Xu Yao pay off her debts?
Lin Meixian has to find a way to solve Xu Yao's debt.
