Chapter 12 Not Being a Simp (3)

"I'm just stating the truth."

Changqing shrugged.

Gu's mother looked at Gu Yao with a puzzled expression.

"Yaoyao, did you have a boyfriend in college? Why didn't you tell your mother?"

Changqing added, "I had a boyfriend in high school."

This is the information the original owner knew.

In fact, he guessed that they must have talked about more than two people.

Because no matter how many boyfriends a girl has dated, she will only say that she dated two. The first one was clueless, the second one she thought she had been deceived in love, and the third one is you, you are her true love.

Moreover, Gu Yao told the original owner that the first one was just passing notes, and because she was busy with her studies in high school, they never even held hands; the second one was someone she dated in college, but because she was more traditional, she insisted on saving him for after marriage, so they broke up.

The third one is the original owner.

Although they live together, they cannot share a room; they want to save the beautiful moments for marriage.

Moreover, when she sees scumbag men and mistresses online, she inevitably curses them and becomes extremely angry.

The original owner firmly believed that he had met a good girl.

cherish!

cherish!

cherish!

The result was incredibly ironic.

Gu Yao was clearly angered by his words and stood up abruptly.

"Yang Changqing! What do you mean by bringing up old grievances now?"

Gu's parents also realized what was happening and looked at Changqing with very bad expressions.

Gu Ou wasn't surprised; he chuckled.

"It's normal to have a few relationships these days, I started dating in middle school..."

Aunt Gu immediately realized what was happening and coughed twice.

"Exactly, it's normal to have two relationships. You're all grown up now. These days, it's all about free love. If you've never been in a relationship, you won't know how to take care of someone."

Gu's father nodded as well.

"Changqing, you're a college student too, you can't be that old-fashioned, can you?"

Gu Ou scoffed, "The Qing Dynasty died long ago."

Changqing was stunned by how quickly the family changed their attitude.

He watched as Gu's mother pulled her angry daughter to sit down and whispered a few words in her ear. Then, Gu Yao glanced at her younger brother, and the impatience on her face subsided a little.

Just then, the dishes were served, and Changqing stepped forward to pour wine for Gu's father.

"It's normal to be in a relationship, there's nothing wrong with that."

His words softened the expressions of the Gu family elders, while Gu Yao looked down at her phone again, probably complaining to someone, typing away furiously.

Changqing sat down and let out a long sigh.

"I just have a few opinions about bride price."

The faces of the Gu family members immediately darkened. Gu's mother, who was the main negotiator, slammed her hand on the table.

"Three hundred thousand! Not a penny less!"

Changqing smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry. What I mean is, 300,000 is too little. I've already discussed it with my parents. We'll give 666,666 as the bride price, for good luck."

"Seize, seize the young?"

Gu's mother almost thought she had misheard, and asked with wide eyes.

Changqing's expression turned serious.

"Six hundred and sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-six."

He took Gu Yao's hand, his eyes gentle. "Uncle and Aunt, I've known Yao Yao for three years. She's a good girl, I know that better than anyone. Meeting her is my life's misfortune, no, my life's fortune. Marriage is a big deal, so of course we need to wish for good luck. I've already discussed it with my parents, and this is the amount of the bride price. I hope you don't mind."

"Moreover, the house my parents prepared was registered under my name only. I'm planning to sell it and buy a school district house in the city center, with Yao Yao's name on it. Please don't refuse! It's my blessing for Yao Yao to marry me. I want to give her a strong sense of security, happiness, and fulfillment!"

Holy crap!

This time, not only was the Gu family stunned, but Gu Yao couldn't help but look up, her face full of surprise.

"Honey, are you telling the truth?"

Ouch.

They've started calling him "husband" now; I wonder if it's because they've gotten used to calling him Li Jiyong.

Changqing smiled slightly. "Of course it's true. I'm my parents' only son, and they're really looking forward to me getting married soon."

The atmosphere on the field immediately changed.

It became lively.

Aunt Gu smiled and said, "Changqing, you really didn't disappoint me. To be honest, from the first time I met you, I felt that you were reliable. I and Uncle are at ease entrusting Yaoyao to you."

Changqing looked touched.

Mr. Gu took a sip of wine and let out a long sigh.

“I remember, your dad was a professor, right? Your mom was a teacher too. Indeed, intellectuals are sensible. This marriage was a good one.”

Changqing nodded.

Gu Ou came over to toast him, "Brother-in-law, from now on my little brother will be relying on you. You'll have to give him lots of guidance and help him out."

This time, when he called him "brother-in-law," Aunt Gu didn't correct him.

Changqing just laughed it off.

"We're all family, so we don't need to speak like outsiders."

Gu's parents both burst into laughter.

"Yes, yes, we're all family, we're all family."

Even Gu Yao looked at him with a tenderness she hadn't shown before.

We enjoyed the meal very much.

By the end, Gu's father was quite drunk, and Gu's mother had also had two drinks; her face was somewhat dark.

"Changqing, when will your family's bride price arrive?"

"I asked, swaying slightly," Gu's father asked.

Changqing also drank a couple of glasses, and his tongue was a little thick by then. "Well, of course, that'll be after I successfully propose."

"Then, then you should propose as soon as possible."

Gu Ou said somewhat anxiously.

Changqing looked at Gu Yao and shook her hand.

"I will. A marriage proposal is no small matter, so of course it needs to be arranged properly."

Of course, it needs to be arranged properly.

He's going to prepare a big gift package.

It all depends on how well the Gu family can handle it.

The next day, he drove the Gu family to see the house again, and Gu's parents were speechless when they heard the price.

"Too expensive! This is way too expensive!"

Gu's mother was deeply moved.

"A house costs over a million yuan, who can afford that?"

Changqing then asked, "Uncle and Aunt, how much money do you still need to buy a house for Gu Ou?"

The two men's faces lit up with joy, but then they said somewhat awkwardly, "We only have fifty or sixty thousand yuan on us."

This isn't even enough for a down payment!

It seems she was hoping he would give her the dowry to buy the house.

However, the elderly couple clearly underestimated the city's housing prices; 300,000 yuan was not enough.

He stopped talking.

Gu Ou shamelessly leaned closer, "Brother-in-law, how much do you have? Could you lend me some?"

Changqing waved his hand and said, "We're all family, don't be so polite. I have indeed saved some money from writing books over the past few years, but I've put it in a fixed deposit and I can't withdraw it until next year. Anyway, the deposit isn't much, so if you like it, just place your order."

Gu Ou's eyes lit up.

Then the Gu family members carefully inspected several more properties.

In the end, I chose one with complete facilities and a good surrounding environment, but the price was a bit expensive.

The whole package cost 1.2 million.

“Well, buying a house is a lifelong decision. Our parents can come and live here in the future. Changqing, it will be more convenient for you and Yaoyao to come home. We'll reserve a room for you two in this four-bedroom apartment!”

Gu's father made the final decision.

They're a young couple now.

Changqing almost burst out laughing.

They happily paid the deposit, and then Changqing took them to the hotel.

"Uncle and Aunt, please stay here. It's not easy for you to come all this way, so please stay for a few more days. When I propose to you, I'll need you to witness it."

He leaned closer, looking rather mysterious.

"You must keep this a secret for me, don't tell Yao Yao yet."

I returned to my home.

The system told Changqing that Gu Yao had broken up with Li Jiyong.

ha?

Is she going back to family life?

Changqing raised an eyebrow.

"That won't do!"

That's the most disgusting thing. If he hadn't noticed, this label would have been firmly pinned on him, and he would never have had a chance to find out again.

What alarmed him even more was...

Not two days later.

Gu Yao actually bought some groceries and took the initiative to prepare a table full of dishes, and even specially prepared two bottles of red wine.

Something's not right!

This is very wrong!

They just broke up over there, and now they're making such a big move here.

While I was in the restroom...

Changqing had the system check, and sure enough, it found some clues.

Gu Yao actually bought some kind of "flower sister's blood-red membrane" on Pinduoduo.

I'm numb.

Changqing was completely numb.

This isn't just about returning to family life; it's about going all out with the act.

He glanced at the product descriptions online.

"A ten-year-old store, with realistic effects, safe and non-toxic, and easy to clean."

Moreover, nearly 90,000 units were sold!

It received rave reviews.

"I passed the test!!!! My boyfriend loves me even more now!"

"Ladies, the 'Redness Removal Mask' combined with the firming product works amazingly! Everyone should try it!"

"Hey, I had a baby in my belly before, and I was always very insecure. Luckily, this product helped me. Now I have two babies, and my husband loves me very much."

Changqing: ......

I didn't expect this market to be so big.

Moreover, judging from the comments, there weren't any complaints about it backfiring.

The quality is excellent.

So, is Gu Yao planning to pretend to be a virgin for him?

Oh shit.

It's hard.

The fist hardened.

They've hardened their hearts.

During the meal, Changqing deliberately found fault with Gu Yao's cooking, criticizing it as utterly worthless.

Gu Yao suppressed her temper and forced a smile.

"I don't cook often. If it's too salty, just drink more water. Besides, I don't think it's salty at all."

Changqing frowned, his voice earnest and earnest.

"Gu Yao, we're getting married soon, and you still don't have any life skills. How are you going to take care of the children and cook in the future?"

"And what did you do last night?"

He adopted a posture as if he were checking up on someone.

Gu Yao's heart tightened. Last night, she had asked Li Jiyong to meet her and break up with her. Although he didn't agree, she had already unilaterally ended things.

In this situation, she certainly couldn't be guilty, so she raised an eyebrow and immediately became angry.

"Yang Changqing! What do you mean? I worked so hard to cook for you, and you're checking up on my whereabouts? We've been together for three years, and you don't even have this much trust in me?!"

Changqing smashed the bowl in his hand.

"Then hand over your phone, I'll check if you're hiding anything!"

"You yelled at me! Yang Changqing, you yelled at me!"

I still want to slap you.

The two had a big argument and parted on bad terms.

Gu Yao has run away from home again.

"Fine, if you're going to leave, don't come back!"

Changqing sat in the chair without moving an inch, and said this as she was leaving.

Gu Yao slammed the door shut in anger.

It produced a deafening sound.

It fell silent.

The room became quiet.

"Host, you've been dating for three years but haven't even slept together. Aren't you going to help the original owner fulfill that regret?"

The system popped up with a wicked grin.

Changqing spat.

"The original owner was so angry that he died. If he continues to be deceived, he will probably turn to death."

"Besides, just you wait, Gu Yao is going out in a huff and she'll definitely be looking for Li Jiyong. We still have work to do."

The system seemed somewhat incredulous. "Didn't she break up with me herself?"

Changqing laughed, "So, Tongzi, you have no heart and don't understand the complexities of human nature. Just wait and see."

The system curled its lip.

Gu Yao stormed out, her heart pounding with anger.

She put in so much effort.

That scoundrel didn't appreciate it at all.

She took out her phone, thinking of calling her best friend Wang Xinxin, but then she remembered that she had just boasted to her about how much dowry Changqing had promised to give her when he proposed, and they had argued just a few days later. She felt a little embarrassed.

After hesitating for a moment, she dialed another number.

"Host, you're amazing!"

The system bows in submission.

"Let's go, let's go catch them in the act."

The child jumped around excitedly.

Evergreen remains as immovable as a mountain.

"No, no, no, catching someone in the act is risky. We're just going to watch the fun."

He put down his phone and revealed a wicked smile. On his phone, he had already sent the information about the two of them checking into a hotel to Li Jiyong's other girlfriend, the female boss. A few days ago, he had contacted her and told her about Li Jiyong's situation. She was furious and immediately claimed that she would teach him a lesson.

Catching an adulterer by seeking out the original spouse carries significant risks.

The original wife may swallow her anger for the sake of the children, and may even stand with her husband for economic gain.

But the female boss was different.

She spent a lot of money on Li Jiyong and genuinely wanted to marry him.

The anger stemming from sunk costs is terrifying.

Changqing drove out and arrived at the hotel.

Gu Yao had already gone up, while Li Jiyong was a bit further away and arrived quite a while later.

Wearing a mask, he glanced around furtively before slipping into the hotel.

They deliberately chose this hotel.

The hotel occupies only the middle floor of the building; the first floor is filled with shops. It's very convenient to get up there, and you can use the elevator without registering.

"Hehe, this is indeed a good place for an affair."

Changqing gave a cold laugh.

Twenty minutes later, an Audi pulled up in front of the hotel.

The female boss arrived.

Changqing saw a rather robust, powerful-looking middle-aged woman get off the bus, followed by two young men carrying baseball bats.

"1304! Let's go!"

The woman went in first.

Changqing was a step behind and followed.

Inside the room.

Gu Yao had already taken a shower. Li Jiyong had just been dumped a few days ago and was still holding back his anger. As soon as he entered the door, he took off his clothes and started kissing her.

"Teacher, I'm feeling sad, please don't—"

Gu Yao wanted to complain about Chang Qing's unreasonable behavior, but she didn't know that he only wanted to talk about that matter, so she immediately pushed him away.

Li Ji was panting heavily.

"I feel bad too, Yao Yao. Not only do I feel bad emotionally, but I also feel bad physically—"

His hands had already pulled open Gu Yao's bathrobe, his eyes burning with desire.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Hello, room service."

Li Jiyong's hand froze, and his face turned ugly.

"Oh shit!"

He was furious, so he stepped forward and opened the door, only to freeze in shock the next moment.

"Sister Hua, what brings you here?"

Snap!

The next moment, he received a slap across the face.

"Li Jiyong! You big liar!"
