"How much is a little bit?"
Lu Jiangting: "..."
Before he could answer, she asked, "What if her hair salon closes and she loses money?"
"No," he said bluntly.
Lin Yuyao: "What if? What if she loses all her money and has no money to live on? Will you care?"
Lu Jiangting said, "Yuyao, don't assume something that hasn't happened."
"Why not assume? Look, I'm asking, if you don't even want to tell me, how can I trust you?"
"You..." He felt that she was being picky. To deal with him, he could only say, "Then give me the most basic living expenses."
"That's too general. I want a specific amount."
Lu Jiangting didn't expect her to be so aggressive.
Especially in front of Fu Huaiyi, an outsider.
He felt very uncomfortable talking about this in front of an outsider, so he asked, "Can you please go out? I'm talking to Yuyao and her husband, what's the point of you being here?"
Fu Huaiyi had a sullen face, his fists were paler than his face, and he looked like he was ready to fight anyone at any time.
Lin Yuyao was really afraid that they would fight again, so she said, "Fang Qing is not an outsider, right? She is your wife, so she can participate in such a big event as our marriage."
When Fang Qing was mentioned, Lu Jiangting fell silent again.
He regrets it now, but there is nothing he can do.
Even if it happens again, he can't just ignore Fang Qing.
But... I might tell Fang Qing in a more tactful way that I can't lend her too much money.
At least, he should have saved some money for his and Yuyao's wedding, so things wouldn't have turned out like this.
Lu Jiangting took a deep breath, looked at Lin Yuyao and said, "I was wrong about Fang Qing. I know I was wrong. Yuyao, let's live a good life. I admit my mistake."
"No, you haven't answered my question yet."
Lu Jiangting: "..."
Facing her questioning, Lu Jiangting just thought that she just wanted to secretly send him a specific amount and then see if he could accept it.
If I say too much, Yuyao will definitely not be happy. If I say too little, what should I do if I really encounter the kind of thing Yuyao described in the future?
This little bit of money is definitely not enough for Fang Qing and her son to live on.
Raising children is expensive.
He hesitated for a long time and then gave a number.
"About one-third of my salary. When wages go up, prices will definitely go up too."
Oh?
One third?
She made such a fuss, but it only increased from half to one third?
Lin Yuyao smiled happily.
Lu Jiangting looked at her in confusion and said hesitantly, "If, you...if you think it's too much...you can give less, but not too little. Raising a child is still very expensive."
Hearing him say this, Lin Yuyao laughed out loud.
"Raising a child costs money?" It turns out he also knows that raising a child costs money.
"One third? Huh? One third... Your parents are getting old, so they need to spend money too, right?"
Lu Jiangting: "..."
"Give them another third, and what about you? You can afford it, right? You can't give me the remaining third, right? So..."
Lin Yuyao took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and couldn't stop crying.
She thought of her dream again.
So real, like she was experiencing it herself.
Seeing her crying, the two men in the room became anxious.
Fu Huaiyi was about to say something when Lu Jiangting spoke first.
"Yuyao, I was wrong, I was really wrong, why are you crying? I won't give it to you, is that okay?"
"No? To coax me?"
Lu Jiangting: "..."
Lin Yuyao pushed away Lu Jiangting's hand on her knee and said coldly, "Forget it, there is no possibility in this lifetime."
Lu Jiangting was exhausted and said angrily, "Why? Why do you have to target Fang Qing? I have told you countless times that there is nothing between her and me."
Lin Yuyao said calmly, "Whatever you say, it has nothing to do with me."
"You're talking in anger again, aren't you? You keep saying that Fang Qing and I are not clear, but are you and Fu Huaiyi clear? Why is he here?"
Lin Yuyao looked at the man who was putting the blame on someone else in disbelief.
I wanted to say that there was nothing between her and Fu Huaiyi, but then I thought, if she said that, what difference would it make from Lu Jiangting?
"I'm different from you. I'm not hanging you around. I don't need to prove myself. But you, Lu Jiangting, are trying to win me back while you're entangled with Fang Qing."
He and Fang Qing, one of them is a whore but still wants to be a virgin.
The other one wants both. How can such a good thing happen in the world?
Lu Jiangting opened his mouth to make excuses, but Lin Yuyao continued with a sneer, "Whatever happens between me and others is none of your business. Don't forget that I broke off the engagement with you the day you tricked Fang Qing into giving my dowry away. Even if I go on a blind date right now, it has nothing to do with you."
She paused for a moment before continuing, "If we end up getting a marriage certificate, you are still committing marriage fraud, which is a crime. I will not recognize it."
Lu Jiangting had never thought that she, who was always gentle, would say such harsh words. He covered his chest and said, "Yuyao, your words hurt me. Just because of Fang Qing, just because I gave her money, you are so heartless?"
"right."
"Why?" Lu Jiangting asked painfully.
Lin Yuyao took a deep breath and said, "Because...where there is money, there is love."
Lu Jiangting: "..."
"It's not a question of how much I want. I want it all. Not a cent can be given to other women. If you can't do that, don't mess with me."
Lu Jiangting opened his mouth, unable to speak.
Lin Yuyao continued, "I will not let this go if you trick me into getting married. I will not live with you."
"Are you... serious?"
"Yes, seriously."
Lu Jiangting stared at Fu Huaiyi with hatred.
He clearly knew that it was because of what happened between him and Fang Qing that Lin Yuyao didn't want to live with him.
But he just blamed Fu Huaiyi.
Yu Yao may not understand, but as a man he understands it very well.
The look in Fu Huaiyi's eyes when he looked at her was not innocent.
…
Lu Jiangting and Fu Huaiyi left together, and the two left in silence.
Lu Jiangting rides a bicycle and Fu Huaiyi rides a motorcycle.
He deliberately slowed down so that Lu Jiangting could catch up, but it also made him very tired.
Halfway through the journey, we found that the area was sparsely populated and on both sides were rapeseed fields owned by nearby villagers.
The two men stopped their car at the same time and started fighting without saying a word.
You punch me and I punch you.
Both of them were in trouble.
After they were tired of fighting, they sat down and talked.
"When Ah Shuo told me that you had asked for leave, I knew you were here to see Yu Yao. Fu Huaiyi, don't forget that she is my wife. Your behavior is called destroying a military marriage. If I report you, you will be expelled from the army."
Fu Huaiyi sneered, "Oh, military marriage? Do you mean the kind of military marriage that you cheated on Lao Zhou with?"
"You..." Lu Jiangting was surprised, "How did you know?"
"Humph, if you want to keep it a secret, then you better not do it yourself." Fu Huaiyi said calmly, "I advise you to agree to divorce Xiaolin as soon as possible, otherwise you don't have to write a report letter, I will report you for marriage fraud first."
"You..." Lu Jiangting clenched his fists angrily.
Fu Huaiyi sneered, "What? Still want to fight?"
He was a little inferior to him, and he had also exhausted his physical strength today by riding for several kilometers. He was no match for him at all.
Lu Jiangting said angrily, "Do you really want to go against me?"
"I just can't stand you bullying little girls."
"Huh, really? Are you attracted to her?"
Fu Huaiyi's face quickly turned cold, "If you think so, then so be it."
After saying that, he patted the dust off his pants and left.
This time he rode very fast, and even if Lu Jiangting pedaled his bike until smoke came out, he couldn't catch up.
Lu Jiangting was furious.
With so many classmates, how could he not understand Fu Huaiyi?
He has a good family background, good grades in school, and good looks, so there are many girls who like him.
He received a lot of love letters when he was in school, but he didn't like any of them.
Fu Huaiyi had never cared so much about that girl.
If he didn't like her, given his personality, he would have distanced himself from her immediately after hearing what he said just now.
But just now, not only did he not distance himself from the matter, he even acquiesced.
Lu Jiangting's heart was beating fast.
Fu Huaiyi falls in love with Yu Yao?
Yuyao is just a country girl, she's just pretty, does he really like her?
