Chapter 20 Girlfriend Wants to Leave an heir for her ex-boyfriend who's been released from prison (3)

"In my opinion, you shouldn't have given birth to this child. Song Zhe, he..."

Zhang Xiaoqin sighed deeply, very worried about her best friend.

"Stop talking, Xiaoqin!"

Li Qingzhou frowned and interrupted her best friend. She didn't like hearing others speak ill of Song Zhe.

Zhang Xiaoqin shrugged helplessly.

"You're still the same as always. Never mind, I'll go cook you some porridge. Think about it carefully yourself."

She stood up and walked outside.

Li Qingzhou was left sitting on the bed, lost in thought.

On the other side.

Changqing has already begun taking stock of his assets.

He sat on the sofa and checked several bank cards, including those from online payment apps.

After a long while, he sighed silently.

The original owner really didn't leave behind much money.

I've been working for two years, and my monthly salary isn't low. But now, apart from the 20,000 yuan I received at the end of the year and my last month's salary, I really have no money left in my account.

A total of 30,000 yuan.

If things continue at this pace, with most of the money going to his girlfriend every month, saving up 300,000 yuan for a dowry is simply a pipe dream.

At this point, he had already confirmed through the system that the child born to Li Qingzhou was indeed Song Zhe's.

The two were a couple in high school.

She even indulged in premarital sex after the college entrance exam.

However, compared to Li Qingzhou's image as a well-behaved and good student, Song Zhe has always been the school bully. Naturally, he did not get good results in the college entrance examination. During the summer vacation, he got into a fight and accidentally caused someone's death, resulting in a prison sentence. He was only released last year, and that's when the two got in touch.

"Hehe, strict family traditions and traditional values."

Changqing couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

This tradition is not only hypocritical, but also selective. It demands that the original owner make sacrifices, while it lacks the traditional virtues of women. Moreover, it is only traditional towards the original owner; it is quite open-minded towards Song Zhe after his release from prison.

"Hehe, host, you don't understand women. Song Zhe's alcoholic father is dead, and he's all alone now. That's sure to evoke your girlfriend's sympathy."

The system didn't forget to stab its own host in the back.

"Girlfriend? I don't recognize that!"

Changqing snorted. The original owner was so angry that he died, so of course he had to avenge the original owner now that he had taken over.

Judging from her previous conversations with Li Qingzhou, although Li Qingzhou had given birth to Song Zhe's child, she didn't seem to have any intention of breaking up with the original owner and getting together with Song Zhe.

That's kind of funny.

They've put a big hat on him, yet he still wants to keep sucking their blood?

That's true.

Song Zhe was in prison and his mental state was unstable. Li Qingzhou felt sorry for him, but she could just leave him an heir. If she married him, she would not only have to take care of him, but also raise the child, which was something she could not afford.

"Fortunately, I'm not married yet."

After sorting out his thoughts, Changqing felt somewhat fortunate.

Now, it's not too late for anything.

Li Qingzhou complained that his phone calls were bothering her, so he decided not to call.

Isn't it often said that he doesn't work hard to save money, and he hasn't even been able to afford the bride price or the renovation? Well, he really needs to work hard to make money.

Moreover, he doesn't plan to rent a house anymore; he'll renovate it and move in directly.

Changqing remembered that when he bought the house, his father said he would arrange for the renovation. However, the original owner of the house argued with his father every time they met, and in the end, nothing came of it.

How foolish!

He couldn't help but look up at the sky and sigh.

Although my parents have both remarried and have children, they are normal people and still care about their eldest son. Why make things unpleasant with them?

Without hesitation, he immediately called his mother.

"Mom, I'm planning to renovate my house. How much money are you willing to contribute?"

Although he spoke very rudely, and with the awkwardness that the original owner had, Wang Xianglan, who had just finished get off work, was overjoyed.

Since their divorce and remarriage, her son has never called her. She knows that her son resents their irresponsibility, but there's nothing they can do about matters of the heart. Enduring until her son graduates from high school before divorcing was already the limit.

"Alright, alright! Son, since you're planning to take this house, I'll furnish it for you."

"No, you don't need to worry about anything. Let your dad handle the rest of the renovations. He's his son, so he can't shirk his responsibility. I'll call him right now! By the way, you haven't contacted your dad yet, have you?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Wang Xianglan felt even more excited.

The fact that her son called her first, instead of his father, shows that in his heart, she, as his mother, is closer to him.

Changqing maintained the original owner's awkward attitude.

However, he honestly answered some of his mother's questions. After a chat, Wang Xianglan felt that her son had finally grown up. Although his awkward personality hadn't changed, their relationship had finally broken the ice and taken the first step.

"Changqing, are you renovating your house because you're getting married? I heard from your friend that you have a girlfriend."

Getting married is a big deal, and of course, mothers are most concerned about it.

Previously, her son had been arguing with his parents, so she didn't have a chance to ask. She only learned about the situation through her son's friend. Now that the ice has been broken, as his biological mother, she naturally wants to know what happened.

Changqing didn't hide anything about this.

"Yes, we started dating right after graduating from university. She was my senior, two years older than me."

Wang Xianglan sighed repeatedly.

"Being two years older is good; someone two years older will be more caring."

Changqing thought to himself, Li Qingzhou might be able to take care of people, but the person he was taking care of wasn't him.

But he didn't say it aloud.

There's no need to worry his parents; he has his own methods.

"Hehe, that's great. I'll find a chance to introduce her to you after the New Year."

He said with a smile, his tone much more relaxed.

It wasn't awkward.

And it went very smoothly.

After a ten-minute conversation, Changqing knew that things were on track.

In fact, things happened faster than he had imagined.

Less than three days later.

Both parents came together, and the father, Yan Guiren, even brought a renovation team with him.

In the rented room.

Changqing brewed a pot of tea for the two elders.

"Mom and Dad, please have a seat."

His expression was still a little awkward, but it was obvious that it was much better than before when he would have a dark look on his face as soon as they met.

Wang Xianglan looked at the photo of the young couple on the wall and reached out to wipe her eyes.

"Great! My son has grown up, and this girl is pretty too. They're a perfect match!"

Yan's father, with his arms crossed, was also looking at the photos on the wall. He nodded when he heard this.

"My son takes after me; he naturally has good taste."

He was immediately met with a glare from his ex-wife.

Although the divorced parents didn't get along, they were of one mind when it came to decorating their son's house: to do it to the best standards. In fact, they even supervised each other and refused to give in, which Changqing found quite pleasing.

It's still easier to earn money from your parents.

You have to work your butt off to earn that little bit of money.

After everything was arranged, the two elders naturally had to return home.

“Son, the construction team has started work. Keep an eye on things yourself. If your mom hasn’t arranged any furniture or anything, just call Dad and I’ll make sure it’s all there for you.”

Before leaving, Yan's father patted Changqing on the shoulder and said in a very generous tone.

Wang Xianglan rolled her eyes again and snorted coldly.

She didn't want to talk to her ex-husband, she just held Changqing's hand.

"Son, after the New Year, when you have time, bring your girlfriend to meet your mother. I've already prepared a red envelope."

Hearing this, Yan's father, who was just about to get into the car, also turned around.

"Come here to Dad first. I need to take a look at my daughter-in-law, Yan."

The original owner never thought of introducing his girlfriend to his parents. If he had actually brought her over, given his parents' standards, they would probably have realized long ago that Li Qingzhou was not a good match.

Changqing certainly wouldn't think that way.

Since the parents bought the house and helped with the renovation, they naturally have a say in the important matter of marriage.

Then he smiled.

"Anyway, you're all in the same city. After the New Year, when Qingzhou comes back, I'll bring her to meet you."

Over the past few days, he has intentionally shown that he is gradually opening up. From being awkward at the beginning, he can now talk to his parents, making them feel much more comfortable spending money on him. Hearing him say this, they both smiled. Their son has indeed grown up and become sensible.
