Compared to Xia Nuan, You Shuang felt that she was incomparable at all.
I went outside.
She covered her mouth with both hands, trying her best not to cry out.
All of this originally belonged to her, yet she handed it over to someone else.
Downstairs, at the intersection.
Two people were crying hysterically.
She cried as a wronged young wife being bullied by her in-laws.
In her mother's words, she had only herself to blame.
If we hadn't been so cunning back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
She regretted it; she truly regretted it.
Even more enthusiastic older women came up to ask which family's daughter-in-law You Shuang was.
After Shuang left, Xia Nuan got up and closed the door.
A pair of beautiful big eyes stared at Li Dongyang.
Xia Nuan was expected to ask about Shuang, but Xia Nuan only asked with concern, "What do you think of the soup?"
Aren't you going to ask anything?
Li Dongyang stood on tiptoe and looked up at Xia Nuan.
As soon as I looked up, I saw Xia Nuan bending down.
The white patch on her chest was right in front of her eyes.
Li Dongyang instinctively glanced at it a couple more times, then awkwardly turned his head and coughed twice.
He really wanted to try it out and see how it felt.
"What's there to ask? That's because your ex-girlfriend is bisexual. I saw it on your WeChat Moments before."
"You got so drunk before because of her, didn't you?"
"She's pretty, definitely prettier than other people."
"But compared to me, it's still a bit lacking, isn't it?"
Xia Nuan placed her hand on Li Dongyang's thigh, then twisted her fingers and pinched a piece of flesh.
Sure enough, though things appeared calm on the surface, undercurrents were brewing beneath.
A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.
"I've put the soup in the pot for you, I'm leaving." Xia Nuan's words made Li Dongyang's hand clench painfully.
“If you’re busy, you really don’t need to make a special trip,” Li Dongyang said to Xia Nuan while rubbing his thigh.
"I really just injured my foot, there's no need to be so delicate."
What he received in return was a murderous glare from Xia Nuan.
"I've never seen you talk so much before."
"Okay, that's all for now. I'm going to work. Oh, by the way, my aunt texted me last night asking me to come pick her up when you're on vacation."
Xia Nuan's words have made her stance clear.
They didn't even give Li Dongyang a chance to refute.
I put on a hat, sunglasses, and a mask and went straight out the door.
After resting at home for four days, Li Dongyang's foot injury has almost fully healed.
During this period, the teacher's wife came several times to bring Li Dongyang chicken soup and tonics.
Incidentally, I also brought some good news to Li Dongyang.
Next Monday, a senior manager from head office is coming. I heard she's the company's heiress and specifically asked to see Li Dongyang.
Tell Li Dongyang to perform well; he might get a promotion.
Zhang Wenbing was particularly pleased about this.
He Qin told Li Dongyang to let her know, and she even sent him a video call after get off work that afternoon.
In the office, Zhang Wenbing packed his briefcase and placed it on his desk. Then he took out his phone and video-called Li Dongyang. "I heard from your teacher's wife that the scab on your instep has already formed. You should be fine by Monday!"
Li Dongyang looked down at the back of his foot and thought that if nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to go to work on Monday.
"Don't force yourself. If you really can't come, it's okay. I'll tell my superiors that you were injured on the job."
“The teacher should be able to go,” Li Dongyang answered truthfully.
He can clearly feel that his foot injury is much better today, and he should be fine after resting for another 3 days.
Li Dongyang and Zhang Wenbing ended their call and went to the bathroom.
He injured his foot a few days ago, and the doctor said it's best not to get the instep wet, so he's only been taking a quick shower these past few days.
After enduring the scabs that had formed on the back of his foot, Li Dongyang could no longer hold back.
Friday.
Xiao Qianwen called Li Dongyang as soon as she got off work.
She said she would come over on the weekend, but Li Dongyang refused.
Although his mother was in management and often traveled for work, which was quite tiring, he really couldn't bear to make his elderly mother make that special trip.
"My foot is almost healed. I can rest assured that Xia Nuan is taking care of me these days."
Xiao Qianwen felt much more at ease when she heard that Xia Nuan was there.
"Okay, take good care of yourself. I've transferred two thousand to your Alipay account. Remember to buy some pork bones and pig's trotters to help you recover."
Xiao Qianwen's son had just bought his elderly father a car worth over 200,000 yuan, so he probably didn't have much money on hand and transferred 2,000 yuan directly.
"No need, Mom. I have money in my account. I've been making quite a bit of extra money lately. When I go back this year, you can discuss with the company whether you want to step down from your current position."
"Retiring to the second line?"
"You'll take care of me!"
Even Li Jianguo didn't dare say that to him back then.
Marrying a daughter-in-law in Wancheng must cost a lot of money. If she doesn't earn more while she's young and save it for her son, she won't be able to move around when she gets old.
Although it's a large company, the number of retirees is less than that of civil servants, so they can only try to earn as much as possible while they're young.
"Mom, I've returned the money to you. You don't need to worry about the wedding; I'll take care of everything."
It would have been better if she hadn't said those words, because once she did, Xiao Qianwen started her nagging mode.
“You have such a wonderful girl like Nuannuan right in front of you, yet you remain unmoved. Sometimes your dad and I even suspect that you might have some kind of problem in that area.”
Li Dongyang was utterly speechless upon hearing this.
If you're talking about your girlfriend, just talk about your girlfriend. Why bring up all this other stuff?
"If it really doesn't work, you should go to the hospital for a check-up later."
Li Dongyang: "......"
This is the first time I've ever seen a mother say her son is no good. If this got out, she'd probably be laughed at to death.
"Mom, I'm perfectly fine, so don't worry about me."
"Besides, I'm only 23 this year, not 32. I can still start dating in a couple of years."
"You don't need to worry."
Hearing this, Xiao Qianwen was displeased.
"What do you mean I don't need to worry? You saw Old Wang's son next door. When he was young, his parents tried their best to stop him from dating. Now he's graduated and is over 30 and still hasn't found a girlfriend. Your dad and I were wise, you know?"
"Mom, why are you comparing me to him? People are very realistic in this world. As long as you have money, you can't find any woman. I just want to wait two more years."
"Two years later, right? Then don't come back for the New Year this year."
She didn't want her son to lose such a good daughter-in-law as Xia Nuan.
No matter what, it has to be secured.
"Anyway, I like Nuannuan."
"If you don't bring her back for Chinese New Year this year, then you shouldn't come back for Chinese New Year either."
"Okay, I don't want to talk to you anymore. I get angry as soon as you start talking."
"You're such a grown-up, how can you be so immature?"
"Anyone with eyes can see that Xia Nuan is interested in you. So what if you're three years older? A woman three years older is like a gold brick, and if she's a few years older, she's like a mountain of gold."
"Have you gotten so confused by dating that girl named You Shuang?"
"Let me tell you, there are advantages to being older."
"You better watch out, kid."
"Mom's going to leave now. Xia Nuan called me."
