If You Have a Male Confidant, Don't Pester Me Anymore

On the eve of their wedding, his girlfriend scoffed, "Look at how high-end my best friend's wedding hotel was, how expensive her banquet was. Then look at you, haggling over seventy or eigh...

Chapter 9 Tang Xin's Regret

Zhuang Wen was walking on the road.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission and obtaining the skill "Moving Mountains and Overturning Seas," 10 skill points.]

[“Moving Mountains and Overturning Seas” Skill Description: The host's strength receives a bonus of 10 skill points.]

Zhuang Wen's eyes lit up.

Why did he kick Liang Shang just now?

The reason is this.

If it weren't for the system assigning him the task, he wouldn't have risked being called in by the police to kick Liang Shang.

Although I loathe him terribly and have long wanted to teach him a lesson.

But there are many ways to teach a lesson, and taking direct action is the riskiest.

"How strong am I now? Let's test it on a heavy object!"

Zhuang Wen was curious.

But seeing that there was no suitable place nearby for him to practice, he had no choice but to give up the idea.

...

When Tang Xin returned home, her eyes were still red and swollen.

"Dad, Mom, I'm home."

She pushed open the door and walked in, her voice low and dejected.

A middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman were sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

"Xin Xin is back? What would you like to eat? I'll ask your mom to make it for you."

Tang Jiashan didn't even look up, just casually asked a question.

"No, I need to go back to my room to rest first."

Tang Xin answered weakly, dragging her heavy steps forward.

Her unusual behavior immediately caught the attention of Tang Jiashan and Fang Xiu'e.

As Tang Xin's mother, Fang Xiu'e was observant. When she saw the tear stains on Tang Xin's face, she suddenly stood up and asked with concern, "Xin Xin, why are you crying? Did Zhuang Wen make you cry?!"

Tang Jiashan frowned and said calmly, "Don't be anxious. We don't know the situation yet, so don't blame everything on Xiao Zhuang. Listen to Xin Xin first..."

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a furious Fang Xiu'e:

"Isn't it obvious? It was that bastard Zhuang Wen who made our Xin Xin cry..."

"I told you long ago that Zhuang Wen comes from a small place, is withdrawn and backward, and is no good person. He is not good enough for Xin Xin, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on agreeing. Look at what's going to happen now?"

Watching his wife berate Zhuang Wen like a shrew, Tang Jiashan sighed, ignored Fang Xiu'e, and turned to ask, "Xin Xin, what exactly happened?"

"I'm fine, and it has nothing to do with Zhuang Wen, so don't overthink it."

Tang Xin sighed and went into her room.

"I think it's Zhuang Wen..."

Fang Xiu'e was still not satisfied and continued to curse.

"Alright, alright, the matter is not yet fully understood, so let's not jump to conclusions."

Tangjiashan Road.

"Let me tell you, it's all Zhuang Wen's fault. Even if he didn't directly make Xin Xin cry, he must have been indirectly responsible. Besides, he's Xin Xin's boyfriend. Xin Xin cried, and he didn't comfort her. Do you think he has no responsibility?"

Fang Xiu'e blamed Zhuang Wen for the incident.

“You give it to him… never mind, I’ll call him and ask him to come over for dinner tonight.”

Tang Jiashan thought about it and decided to make the call himself.

"Hmph, if he comes, you can serve him, I don't care!"

Fang Xiu'e sat on the sofa with her arms crossed, fuming.

Tangjiashan made a phone call.

"Hey, Uncle Tang."

Zhuang Wen's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Xiao Zhuang, are you at the company now?"

Tang Jiashan asked with a smile.

"Yes, I haven't gotten off work yet."

Tang Jiashan said, "Come over for dinner after get off work. Your aunt made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs. Let's have a drink together."

"No, Uncle Tang, I have something to do tonight, so I can't go."

Zhuang Wen refused.

"Alright then, come over another day, and we can discuss your marriage with Xin Xin."

Tang Jiashan could only laugh and say.

We'll see.

Zhuang Wen replied.

The two hung up the phone.

Tang Jiashan put down his phone and frowned deeply.

"What's wrong? Zhuang Wen still doesn't want to come?"

Fang Xiu'e, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, was now puzzled and sneered, "It's better that he didn't come. Does he think I want to see him? He'd better tell him to go back to where he came from!"

"I'm afraid something really happened between him and Xin Xin."

Tang Jiashan sighed.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiue was overjoyed and blurted out without thinking, "That's wonderful! I never agreed to Zhuang Wen having any relationship with my Xin Xin. What kind of family does Zhuang Wen come from? He's not good enough for her at all..."

"Shut up!"

Tang Jiashan flew into a rage and roared, "Zhuang Wen is about to marry Xin Xin, what nonsense are you spouting?! What kind of elder are you? Are you really thinking of Xin Xin?"

"I'm just telling the truth."

Fang Xiu'e lowered her head dejectedly and said to herself, "Besides, I never agreed to their marriage in the first place. He can't even afford a house..."

Tang Jiashan looked at his mean and snobbish wife and sighed helplessly.

...

Inside the room.

Tang Xin sat absentmindedly on the bed, oblivious to the sounds of her parents arguing outside.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and she should have been resting, but instead she was staring intently at a jar of six-pointed stars on her bedside table.

This jar of six-pointed stars was folded for her overnight by Zhuang Wen when they were in college.

When Zhuang Wen delivered it to her with dark circles under his eyes, she was so moved she almost cried.

At that moment, she was both happy and blissful.

But at this moment, facing this jar of six-pointed stars, all she felt besides endless heartache, sorrow, and loss was fear.

She was afraid.

She was afraid of losing Zhuang Wen.

She finally understood one thing.

When someone keeps you in their heart all the time, you may take it for granted and not appreciate it at all.
