Chapter 51 Don't bully Xingxing!
"Qin Ce..." Qiao Xing quickly stood up and chased after him, but found that the man was walking very fast. She had to jog to catch up with him.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Qiao Xing caught up with him breathlessly. She swallowed and said, "Let's discuss this carefully first."
Qin Ce paused, turned to look at Qiao Xing, and asked in confusion, "What other long-term plan do you have in mind?"
Qiao Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I haven't told my aunt yet. You should at least wait until I've dealt with them before we talk."
“That’s not a problem. You go find your aunt, and I’ll go find Grandpa.” Qin Ce patted her shoulder and gave her an encouraging look. “We’ll split up.”
"..."
Qiao Xing opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he left again.
She stood there stunned for a while before frowning in suspicion. What was he in such a hurry about?
However, since he had already taken action, Qiao Xing couldn't just wait idly; he still had to go back and explain things to his aunt.
She returned to her front door, stood outside, took a deep breath, and then took out her keys to open the door.
I pushed open the door and overheard them discussing the house. My uncle disagreed, and my aunt scolded him.
"And you, Wang Ye! Who am I doing all this for? And you're playing the good guy here? If you're so capable, then take out your own money to buy a house! You two are such ingrates, who are you and your family anyway?"
"Mom... calm down. Shouldn't we be realistic? Look, Xingxing has already given us 400,000 yuan, so the house is hers. Now you want to use someone else's house to take out a loan. Isn't that the same as giving you 400,000 yuan for nothing? What will people think if they find out?"
My aunt said angrily, "What do you care what others think? Are you not going to get married or not? Do you think you're still young? You're already thirty-two this year, and you still have to rely on your parents to buy a house and get married. Tell me, if you were even slightly successful, would I need to take out a loan for a house?"
Wang Ye got angry again. He stood up and said, "I don't care. I don't agree. I'd rather not get married than take advantage of this!"
"You...you..." Auntie's chest heaved with anger. She pointed at Wang Ye, unable to speak for a long time. "You brat, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Wang Ye, in a fit of despair, said, "Anyway, I'm just a good-for-nothing. So what? At worst, I'll never get married."
"You..." His aunt slapped his arm as she spoke, saying with exasperation, "You don't want our family line to end, do you? What will you do when you get old if you don't get married?"
Wang Ye grabbed a handful of hair and said defiantly, "Does getting married mean I won't age? Mom, what era are we living in? You're still so old-fashioned! Are you really doing this for my own good, or just for your own face?"
Auntie was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Of course I'm doing this for your own good! I'm your own mother, would I ever harm you?"
Wang Ye sat on the sofa with his back turned, and said irritably, "You're doing this for my own good. If you really cared about me, you wouldn't have forced me to get married and buy such an expensive house. I'll have to pay off the mortgage for the rest of my life, and you guys will have to work to earn money for the rest of your lives. What's the point?"
Auntie sat down angrily, turned her head and said, "I don't care, you have to get married for me. Even if the marriage partner isn't Lily, you have to find me a college student like her."
My aunt is also a person who cares a lot about her reputation. Whenever people she knows in this neighborhood talk about their children, she is too embarrassed to interrupt.
Other people's sons are either high-level executives earning tens of thousands a month or graduates of prestigious universities, and their daughters are married to very good men and have very good wives.
She's embarrassed to talk about her son whenever people ask her about him. Just two days ago, she went out and boasted to people about having a college graduate daughter-in-law who is beautiful and filial.
If she doesn't get married, she'll lose all face. How will she ever be able to show her face in this neighborhood again?
Wang Ye was speechless. He said, laughing and crying at the same time, "Mom, aren't you being unreasonable? Do you think college students are like cabbages that anyone can buy? You should at least consider your son's circumstances."
"I don't care, if you can't find me, then don't acknowledge me as your mother." The aunt crossed her arms, looking like there was no room for negotiation.
Wang Ye twitched the corner of his mouth, turned his head and exchanged a glance with Wang Yue. There was nothing they could do; neither of them could argue with her.
The two were arguing so fiercely that they didn't even notice Qiao Xing had returned.
Once they had completely quieted down, Qiao Xing coughed and walked over to her aunt.
As soon as her aunt saw her, she beamed with joy. "Xingxing's back! How's the house thing going?"
“I…” Qiao Xing looked at Wang Ye, and remembering what Wang Ye had said on her behalf, she suddenly couldn’t bring herself to speak.
Her aunt took her hand and said affectionately, "Oh dear, what are you thinking about? You heard it too, look how much your cousin cares about you. He even argued with me about it."
"He'd rather not get married than let us take out a loan on your house. Are you really willing to let him stay single for the rest of his life?"
"With his looks and age of 32, I doubt anyone will even be interested in him in another two years!"
His aunt kept talking and persuading him, and Qiao Xing couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Wang Ye said, "Mom, can you please stop bullying Xingxing?"
However, before he could finish speaking, his aunt glared at him and said, "Shut up! You good-for-nothing, when has Mom ever bullied Xingxing? Isn't this just discussing things with her?"
"Is this what you call discussion? Aren't you forcing her?"
Wang Ye jumped up and pulled Qiao Xing away, saying, "Xingxing, come with me and ignore my mom."
"You brat, stop right there!"
Wang Ye ignored her, pulled Qiao Xing out, and slammed the door shut behind him, making a deafening noise.
It's clear that Wang Ye was also angry.
"Cousin," Qiao Xing called out to him.
Wang Ye didn't say a word, but pulled Qiao Xing downstairs before letting go of her. "Cousin, don't listen to my mom. I'd rather screw over anyone else than you!"
Hearing Wang Ye's words, Qiao Xing felt a lump in her throat.
She grabbed Wang Ye's arm and said, "What will happen to Lily if you don't get married? Don't you love her anymore?"
Wang Ye sighed deeply and said in a low voice, "It's my own fault for being incompetent. I've already thought it through. If I really buy such an expensive house, she'll suffer when she marries me. She's not the type to endure hardship."
Wang Ye paused, a hint of sadness in his eyes, and said, "She can find someone better."
Qiao Xing opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know how to comfort him.
Lily seemed determined to buy that house, and in Qiao Xing's opinion, she hadn't even considered things from Wang Ye's perspective.
On the contrary, Wang Ye was always thinking of Lily's best interests.
Qiao Xing couldn't tell whether Lily really liked Wang Ye.
