The boy is tall and handsome, and I heard he's my daughter's senior from a prestigious university. His family is clearly well-off, so my daughter will have a good life after marrying into his family.
This is practically the perfect son-in-law in the eyes of his mother-in-law.
"Xiaoxiao, why didn't you tell your family you got a boyfriend? If Xiaoye hadn't come to our door, would you still not want to give him a proper status?"
Lu Xiaoxiao listened to her mother's scolding and couldn't say a word.
Mr. Lu was very satisfied; the fishing gear his son-in-law bought for him looked very cool when he took it out.
Most importantly, he dotes on his daughter so much that he can't stand it anymore.
Most importantly, my wife is satisfied.
With her parents' approval, Lu Xiaoxiao tacitly accepted this boyfriend.
After the holiday, Lu Xiaoxiao got engaged to Ye Nuocheng with her parents as witnesses.
Of course, they simply exchanged engagement rings discreetly in front of both families, going through the motions.
Ye Nuocheng's parents naturally wouldn't come; the only ones who came were stand-ins he had paid to hire.
His thought was that it was necessary to get engaged in order to put the two elders at ease.
His parents are both abroad and cannot come, so he hired a stand-in to impersonate them, but his heart is sincere.
Back at school, everyone gave them their blessings. Lu Xiaoxiao comforted herself, saying that maybe this is what love is all about—enjoying romance and being pampered is enough.
Ye Nuocheng was indeed very romantic, and Lu Xiaoxiao was also moved by him, gradually falling in love with him. After a year together, the two were as sweet as ever.
After graduation, Lu Xiaoxiao joined the Ye family company as an assistant, working and traveling with her sweetheart. She felt that marriage would naturally follow.
Unexpectedly, after thinking it over, Ye Nuocheng told Lu Xiaoxiao that his parents disagreed and asked her to wait for him. He promised to win over his parents and then propose.
Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned. The two people at the engagement weren't actually elders of the Ye family. She never expected Ye Nuocheng to do something so unreliable.
Soon, she met Night's mother. The two arranged to meet at a coffee shop, where Night's mother took out a large check.
"Leave my son; he's not someone a girl like you can covet."
Lu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she cried, but Ye Nuocheng didn't embarrass her too much.
He took Lu Xiaoxiao away without giving his own mother any face, and even took Lu Xiaoxiao home to announce that he wanted to marry her.
Despite the Ye family's objections being ignored, they had no choice but to reluctantly accept Lu Xiaoxiao, though they looked down on her and made sarcastic remarks about her openly and subtly.
Ye Nuocheng also transformed into a fiercely protective husband, angrily confronting everyone.
With Ye Nuocheng's strong support, Lu Xiaoxiao forgave him for his mistake of concealing the truth, and she happily awaited this wedding of the century.
At a party, Lu Xiaoxiao met Ye Nuocheng's friends, among whom a girl named He Xiao made Lu Xiaoxiao very uncomfortable.
Because the two women looked remarkably alike, even their clothes and jewelry were very similar, everyone exchanged knowing glances and expressions, as if they had just expected it.
He Xiao smiled slightly and pulled Lu Xiaoxiao to look her over.
"You're not allowed to bully the new sister-in-law. It's fate that we look so alike. I'll protect you from now on."
Everyone expressed that they would not bully the newcomers.
Lu Xiaoxiao smiled gratefully at He Xiao. Before she could say anything, Ye Nuocheng came in. He had just gone out to make a phone call, leaving Lu Xiaoxiao alone.
He Xiao, who was standing next to Ye Nuocheng, saw him enter and ran over to him like the wind.
"Arno, quickly introduce everyone to Xiaoxiao!"
She clung to Ye Nuocheng's arm, her soft breasts pressed against his body.
Lu Xiaoxiao felt uneasy, and her gaze towards He Xiao changed instantly.
He Xiao flinched slightly in fear, and Ye Nuocheng followed her gaze and saw Lu Xiaoxiao frowning.
He was also a little annoyed. How could she put on such a bad face when he was having a get-together with his childhood friend?
"Xiaoxiao, this is He Xiao, my childhood friend. Wang Jianlin, Li Jue... they are all my buddies who grew up together."
Lu Xiaoxiao forced herself to cheer up and greeted everyone, but they just nodded in response and weren't very enthusiastic.
He Xiao was good at creating a lively atmosphere, and the whole private room was bustling with activity. Everyone was eating, drinking, playing games, and laughing happily. Only Lu Xiaoxiao sat alone in a corner of the sofa, unable to join in.
After the party, the two had their first argument.
"How can you be so close to He Xiao? This goes far beyond a childhood friendship."
Ye Nuocheng also thought Lu Xiaoxiao was being too dramatic, "You go to a party with that long face, who are you trying to scare? Don't I have any dignity?"
The two parted on bad terms. A few days later, Ye Nuocheng swallowed his pride and came to Lu Xiaoxiao to apologize, promising to keep his distance from He Xiao.
Lu Xiaoxiao went down the steps, and the two made up.
Ye Nuocheng gifted Lu Xiaoxiao an expensive dress and took her to an event.
At the banquet, He Xiao deliberately spilled wine on her clothes to embarrass her.
Ye Nuocheng also misunderstood that she had bullied He Xiao. Lu Xiaoxiao was full of grievances and proposed to break up. Ye Nuocheng gave in once again.
After his persistent pleas, the two reconciled.
This time, Ye Nuocheng's promise worked. He Xiao never appeared in front of her again, and the wedding was approaching.
On the day the two tried on their wedding dresses, Ye Nuocheng suddenly disappeared for three days. Lu Xiaoxiao was very worried. When she saw him again, he looked haggard, as if he hadn't slept for days and nights.
"Xiaoxiao, can you help He Xiao? She's sick, and only you can help her."
Lu Xiaoxiao was extremely surprised. She had no connection with He Xiao at all, and she had no money or power. What help could she possibly offer?
"He Xiao has uremia and needs a kidney transplant. We found out at the hospital that only your blood type matches hers, both of you have rare Rh-negative blood."
Please, please help her, okay? She's my childhood friend, I really can't watch her die from this illness.
Lu Xiaoxiao stared at Ye Nuocheng in shock. At this moment, she finally understood her place in his heart.
Ye Nuocheng secretly loved He Xiao, but found himself as a substitute, treating himself as his own possession. He didn't dare to do anything to He Xiao, so he projected his feelings onto himself.
She didn't want to. Why should she sacrifice herself for someone else? She wanted her body intact, and she wanted to leave him and live her own life.
But she felt herself getting entangled with Ye Nuocheng out of control, and in the end, she was drugged and sent to the operating room.
Then, she lived like a soulless person, misunderstood, beaten, miscarried, and her body became like a rag.
She finally packed her things and left the country. During her three years abroad, she learned to be independent and achieved success.
After she left, Ye Nuocheng realized that he loved Lu Xiaoxiao. He bankrupted the He family and sold He Xiao abroad.
He felt depressed and melancholy every day, and tried to drown his sorrows in alcohol.
Lu Xiaoxiao returned to China and ran into Ye Nuocheng, who had been waiting for her for three years. The two became entangled again.
In the end, with everyone's blessings, she forgave Ye Nuocheng and they got married happily!
