Chapter 45 Enough
Gu Moyang lowered his eyes, his fists began to tremble uncontrollably, "I can't do it now, but I will..."
"In the future?" Jiang Xiaolan interrupted him. "The future is uncertain. Why doesn't she find someone who matches her? Why does she have to take unknown risks?"
"You might not know this." Jiang Xiaolan sneered, "She eats and wears the best. Any piece of clothing she wears is worth a month's salary from your part-time job. After being with you, she has never bought such expensive clothes again. And she only buys the cheapest cosmetics."
"When you two date, she never goes to any fancy places, and she never eats out at high-end restaurants. If I'm guessing correctly, she told you that she doesn't like to eat or go to those places. But what you don't know is that her favorite foods are seared foie gras and Australian Black Angus sirloin steak. When Nuannuan was in high school, she always asked me to take her there."
"Has she never told you this? Honestly, as a mother, I'm heartbroken to know this."
"It's not that she doesn't like to eat, she's just worried that you can't afford it and that it might hurt your pride. Do you still think you can give her the best?"
"You two are not from the same class." Jiang Xiaolan said coldly, "It's Nuannuan who is accommodating you and actively trying to integrate into your circle."
Gu Moyang was stunned. It turned out to be like this.
Jiang Jibai had indeed never told him these things. From what Jiang Xiaolan said, it can be known that Jiang Jibai's family background should be very good, but she had never told him these things. She only said that she was an ordinary person like him.
The funny thing is that he actually believed it.
Gu Moyang has always been an excellent student in both character and academics. From elementary school to junior high school, he was the focus of attention of teachers and classmates. His temperament was inevitably a bit cold and aloof.
But at this moment, Gu Moyang weakly lowered his head, which had been held high. His fingers were clenched until they turned white, and his heart was torn into pieces.
The boy's spine seemed to be broken, and his only self-esteem in the face of his class was crushed to pieces.
"And you said she loves you. How can a girl of this age understand what love is? When she finds out you can't give her anything in the future, that so-called love will slowly wear away. Love? It's just a temporary novelty, a passing fancy."
"I've already planned out the future for our daughter, Nuannuan. She'll find someone of equal status, find a stable job, get married, and have children, instead of living in a shabby rented house with you and worrying about food and daily necessities all day long."
Gu Moyang lowered his hands, looked up, the light in his eyes slowly disappeared, and he asked the last question.
"Did she ask you to come and tell me this?"
Jiang Xiaolan felt a little bit sorry for the young man in front of her who was so devastated, but everything was for her Nuan Nuan... She decided to just go with the flow and break up completely.
"Yes, I understand my daughter. She's soft-hearted and can't be cruel. Let me tell you, she's had enough of living a hard life with you. You can't give her what she wants. I hope you won't bother her anymore."
Seeing Jiang Xiaolan leaving, Gu Moyang punched the lamppost. The lamppost shook violently, revealing the boy's red eyes.
Past events of his time with Jiang Jibai flooded back into his mind.
Why did she hide it from me?
The sweet words she said to him, the passionate kisses, the love she made.
Were all the things she had said to him before false?
Gu Moyang had difficulty breathing, and a sore feeling filled his chest.
And the light in her eyes when she looked at him, was every smile she gave him fake?
She was just like those rich young ladies, and he was just a little entertainment for them to pass the time in their monotonous lives.
Was she just playing with him?
A huge feeling of suffocation came over him, Gu Moyang covered his chest, bitterness surged in his throat, and he walked towards the dormitory woodenly in the heavy and dull night.
Ji An and Sun Yiran were both shocked when they heard this.
"This... turns out to be the case."
They didn't expect the truth to be like this.
From this perspective, Gu Moyang is the number one victim.
"Being rich is nothing special." Ji An complained, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. If Jiang Jibai's mother were still alive and saw what you have achieved today, she would regret it to death."
"She looks down on us common people. Now her daughter is just an ordinary person, isn't she? How noble can she be?"
"Isn't this what's called karma and reincarnation? It's not that there's no retribution until the time comes."
Gu Moyang kicked Ji An and asked, "What the hell are you talking about?"
Ji An yelled, "I'm speaking up for you! What kind of drug have you been given?! Why are you still protecting her at this time?"
"That's not right." Sun Yiran said, "If that's the case, then Jiang Jibai abandoned you because she disliked your poverty. Now that you've returned home and become successful, I haven't seen her actively throw herself at you."
Ji An touched his chin and thought about the scene when he met Jiang Jibai when he returned to China. "It seems so. He couldn't wait to be hundreds of meters away from you."
Ji An suddenly realized: "You didn't just go to look for someone, and then they kicked you out? No wonder you're desperate here."
Gu Moyang kicked him again.
Ji An rubbed his leg in pain, "Damn it, you're taking out all the anger you felt at Jiang Jibai on me, right?"
"Then how can you be sure it wasn't her mother who was causing this?" Sun Yiran suddenly interrupted, "I don't think Jiang Jibai is that kind of person."
At first, Gu Moyang didn't believe it either.
When he returned to the dormitory that day, his mind was full of Jiang Xiaolan's words.
She's had enough of living with you—
Thinking back on my previous interactions with Jiang Jibai, Jiang Jibai was indeed very frugal when I was with him.
After a day of strolling around the scenic area, I had to walk a kilometer to the subway entrance to take the subway home.
The reason is that taxis are too expensive.
When Jiang Jibai got home, she had a few blisters on her heels, so Gu Moyang had to help her apply medicine with concern.
When I go shopping for clothes with him, I have to choose carefully, compare prices from different stores, and can haggle with the boss for more than half an hour.
She would only buy those weird and cute little figurines and things she bought for him without blinking an eye.
When she goes out to eat with him, she usually chooses some small restaurants, orders only as much as she can eat, never orders more, and never wastes anything.
One time, Gu Moyang had just received his salary and wanted to take her to eat something different, so he suggested going to a Western restaurant.
Jiang Jibai just smiled and said to him, "I really don't like eating those expensive and bad food. I just like eating at small restaurants. Why would I waste my money on something that's useless?"
But today her mother Jiang Xiaolan said that she liked to eat it.
She was originally a daughter of a wealthy family, a pearl that was cherished by everyone and had everything a princess wanted.
She really suffered being with him. She couldn't eat what she liked, couldn't buy the clothes she liked, and couldn't buy what she wanted as she pleased.
So she's had enough of this kind of life, right?
Gu Moyang tossed and turned all night without sleep.
The next morning, after calculating her usual time to get up, he went to find Jiang Jibai.
As long as she said those words herself, he would stop pestering her.
Today is Jiang Jibai's birthday, and he has already prepared a gift.
