Gao Yang fell silent. Of course he knew, but he certainly couldn't tell his mother what he was thinking. He was hoping that his mother would put more pressure on Caramel, and then he would comfort Caramel. Wouldn't that make their relationship even better?
“You know everything. You know why your mother doesn’t like me.”
You know I've already had my edges smoothed out by you. But you just want to watch, to watch me slowly become someone without a self. Your love is so selfish it terrifies me.
I'm sick, and you can ignore me, so why should I stay with you?
Such a person is not worth her giving her all.
Now she works for herself and doesn't need to worry about Gao Yang getting angry if she wants to buy whatever she wants.
If you want to eat something, just open your phone and you can start ordering takeout.
You don't need to secretly make up excuses to buy the clothes you want.
Ironically, Gao Yang also made her do the accounting, specifically how much money was spent and what was done, and she had to be able to reconcile the accounts.
To put it nicely, he hopes she can save money and not spend it recklessly; to put it bluntly, isn't he just afraid she'll spend too much of his money?
"Gao Yang, let's break up. We're not a good match."
The milk tea in Gao Yang's hand warped, and it sprayed out. He grabbed a tissue and wiped it off casually. "I don't agree. You said it yourself, we've been together for years. How can we just break up like this? You've spent a lot of my money, haven't you?"
Caramel's eyes widened; she truly hadn't expected Gao Yang to say something like that. "What did you say? You said I spent a lot of your money?"
After her anger subsided, Caramel calmed down. Looking at Gao Yang's gaze, she became even more composed.
"Okay, let's do the math and see each other here at this time tomorrow."
Caramel stood up, took the packaged cake, and left.
It's not that I'm not sad; my heart aches in waves. I've loved this person for so long and spent so much time with them. Even if I know I have to give up, it's not something I can let go of in a day or two. But it's okay, it's okay. The future is long, and one day I'll be able to let go.
Caramel didn't turn back. Gao Yang watched her leave, not understanding where things had gone wrong.
When he went to pay, he found that Caramel had already paid.
He took out his phone, logged into his bank account, and found that there were no changes in the details. Where did the money for the caramel come from?
For the first time, Gao Yang felt that things were out of his control, and this feeling was bad, very bad.
...
With Lin Shishi and Jiao Qi's wedding date approaching, the two families had another meal together.
Actually, this time it was much simpler. Basically, it was just Lin Shishi and Jiao Qi talking, and they were responsible for their own weddings.
Caramel came over this time too. To Jiao Qi's surprise, Caramel didn't say anything that would upset anyone this time, considering that Caramel's previous words were always so sharp and cutting.
Caramel felt a little embarrassed by the stares; she knew that she hadn't always been the most likable person to talk to.
“We’re prepared to give a dowry of one million, and they can take care of the rest themselves. As you know, I don’t have much money, and the money I’ve been giving away recently is going to charity.”
Mo Yan felt that she should make things clear to them to avoid any unhappiness later.
“Brother, look at what you’re saying. We’re family, so it’s only right that you don’t give us a single penny. I think from now on, the two of them should take care of their own lives, and the money that she and her mother have can be used for charity.”
Lin Guosheng kept calling him "Brother," and the smile on his face never faded.
In short, everything my brother said is right.
"Yes, brother, we've thought about it. The young couple can manage on their own. We should just focus on being happy. How about we go out for a stroll together in a while?"
"That works too." Mo Yan thought that going out for a stroll wasn't a bad idea.
Caramel: "!!!" Big brother?
Lin Shishi and Jiao Qi: "..." Well, they were adopted.
When Caramel got home, she found a bankbook in front of her.
"Mom, what's this?"
Caramel was a little stunned and couldn't believe it.
"This is the compensation for the demolition of our house. It belongs to you. I used to think you were stupid and that giving it to you would be useless. But now it's perfect to give it to you."
I'll be very busy from now on and won't have time to take care of you. You'll have to take care of yourself; whether you live a good or bad life is your own choice.
If you've been through so much and still don't know what to do, then you don't need to worry about it anymore.
"Thank you, Mom. I thought..."
She thought her mother would never care about her again.
"What use do you think it is? You need to look carefully and think seriously. The word 'think' is just your subjective opinion, understand?"
Caramel nodded with tears in her eyes, "Mmm-hmm."
Caramel took out all the previous bill screenshots and made a calculation. In two years, the two of them spent 60,000 yuan, which means that each person spent 30,000 yuan.
She took 30,000 from the one million, and planned to use the rest to buy a new house, just a one-bedroom apartment, for herself to live in.
After Caramel spoke to Mo Yan, Mo Yan responded with a faint "yes".
It's true that Mo Yan is going on a trip, but more importantly, she wants to see what's going on in the world so that if there are people like Yin Yin again, she can deal with them as soon as possible.
...
Caramel met Gao Yang again a week later. Perhaps Gao Yang felt guilty, or perhaps he was confident, but he didn't meet him that day. A week later, his family asked the two families to meet.
Mo Yan didn't refuse; she really wanted to see Gao Yang's mother.
They met at a small restaurant. When they went inside, it was packed with people, which made it clear that the food must be delicious.
Jiao Qi and Lin Shishi also came over, as did Lin Guosheng and his mother. He figured that since they were two families, it wouldn't hurt for them to be considered family with his older brother.
When Gao Yang and his mother saw the other family, they suddenly felt a bit of a headache.
In Gao's mother's mind, Caramel was someone who didn't work. She only thought about relying on Gao Yang to gain a foothold in this city.
From her perspective, it's actually quite normal to think that way. Back then, Caramel wasn't exactly that kind of person in the eyes of outsiders, yet Gao Yang still acted like he was deeply in love and had no regrets. Of course, she, as his mother, wouldn't be happy about that.
"You're Jiao's mom, right? This is the first time our two families have met. I'll definitely give Jiao a good talking-to after we get married."
Mrs. Gao felt that the first time was definitely the right time to give the other party a hard time, to let her know that her daughter was no good, so that it would be much easier for her to educate her daughter-in-law in the future.
"Your son and my daughter have broken up, didn't you know?"
Mo Yan glanced at her indifferently, "Weren't we here today to discuss their breakup?"
Gao's mother: "???"
Mrs. Gao was completely bewildered. "No way," she said, "my son said he came today to discuss marriage. How did it turn into a breakup?"
"Auntie, we didn't break up. We're getting married, how could we possibly break up? Caramel, don't you think?"
Gao Yang's gaze fell on Caramel, and his voice carried a hint of command.
