Chapter 169 I'm a joke
"Let's have dinner together. I cooked a lot of food today." I didn't answer Xu Zhengnan's words, but invited him to have dinner together.
Although Xu Zhengnan looked very gloomy, he still walked towards me.
I set the table and sat down face to face with him.
Since my mom and his mom are good friends, we have been visiting each other since we were young, which resulted in us having similar tastes in food since we were young. Except that he didn't like desserts before, we got along well in other aspects of diet.
I once secretly regarded this as an important condition for us to become lovers.
We can be happy only if we can eat together.
So, Xu Zhengnan also likes the dishes I cooked today.
"Did Xia Yu tell you that he saw me?" I asked curiously while eating.
"Yeah." Xu Zhengnan didn't seem to want to pay attention to me.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect that I could rent your house." I said with emotion.
Xu Zhengnan looked up at me and said nothing more. He just agreed, "Well, what a coincidence. When Ke Hua told me your information, I was helping your parents move."
When I heard that my parents were moving, I instantly became nervous, "Moving again?"
"Do you think Shen Yixiao won't look for them?" Xu Zhengnan asked back, "You think going abroad and losing contact with your parents is protecting them, but in fact it is nothing."
I felt so ashamed of myself and my face was burning. Every time Xu Zhengnan criticized and educated me, he was very straightforward and hit the point directly, making me feel embarrassed.
My eyes became red and my heart was filled with guilt and worry towards my parents.
It's not just for their safety, partly because I'm afraid of facing my father's rejection and disgust, and I don't want to disturb their happy family of three.
I don't deserve it.
"Are they... very angry?" I asked cautiously.
Especially my dad, he must be angry and annoyed and think I deserve it.
She had such an ugly quarrel with them because of Shen Yixiao, and in the end she was betrayed and her marriage was also in an ugly mess.
His face is really swollen.
It’s a pity that he couldn’t contact me, otherwise my father would have ridiculed me.
Xu Zhengnan's expression was slightly cold. "What do you think? At the beginning, you risked everything to be with Shen Yixiao and abandoned Uncle Li and the others. Now you and Shen Yixiao have fallen out and you have abandoned them again."
This is blaming me for not choosing to go home and admit my mistake.
My difficulties, in their eyes, were cowardice.
"If they hadn't given birth to a daughter like me, they would have lived a good life. Now that they have Li Qingming, I shouldn't appear in their world and disturb their peace." I bit my lip and held back my tears.
“If you don’t disturb them, Shen Yixiao will. He will use every possible means to find the whereabouts of your parents.” Xu Zhengnan said coldly.
The hatred for Shen Yixiao surged in my heart again. He is a beast!
Everyone knows about the fight between him and me. He has done so many disgusting things, and yet he still has the nerve to go to my parents and try to use them to force me to show up.
At the same time, it is so shameless to create an image of a love-struck person who is full of regrets on the Internet.
"Did he find the address my parents moved to later, so they had to move again?" I asked.
"Well, your parents are very worried about you. You should contact them." Xu Zhengnan gave me a suggestion.
Contact my parents… I hesitated.
I still don’t have the courage and don’t know how to face my parents. I seem to have become more and more cowardly over the years.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Xu Zhengnan didn't force me. He just ate quietly with me. When we finished eating, he took the initiative to clean up the table and dishes.
I sat there motionless, my thoughts entirely on my parents, debating whether or not to contact them.
Xu Zhengnan guessed what I was thinking. He called my mother and handed me the phone. "Use my number. They can't contact you."
I looked at him and smiled gratefully.
After the phone rang a few times, it was connected and my mother's voice came through, "Zhengnan."
"Mom." I called out in a hoarse voice, and tears immediately fell. My heart felt sour and bitter, as if I had eaten a lemon.
Hearing my voice, my mother suddenly became excited, "Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue, is that you? Are you and Zhengnan together? Where are you!"
She couldn't wait to see where I was now.
"Mom, don't worry about me. I'm not in the country now. Xu Zhengnan said you were very worried about me, so I called you." I tried to make my voice sound normal so that my mother wouldn't hear that I was crying.
My mother's voice choked up, "Why are you so stubborn, kid? That scumbag Shen Yixiao has wronged you and betrayed you, why didn't you tell us? Just divorce him and go home!"
"If I go back, he will cause trouble for you." I expressed my concerns.
"You didn't go home, and he was looking for us. As long as we are together as a family, we are not afraid of anything that happens." My mother replied anxiously.
I was speechless and felt bad.
At this time, my father's voice came from the other side, his tone was very stern, "Li Yue, now you know how childish and stupid it was to not listen to us at the beginning, right? That Shen Yixiao is nothing at all, you have paid so much for him, it's a joke! Not only are you a joke, your mother and I have become the laughing stock of relatives and friends!"
I clenched my phone tightly, unable to raise my head because of what my dad said, and I felt depressed.
I don't know how to answer.
My dad's voice became more and more excited. "Your mom and I worked so hard to raise you and educate you to be a talented person. You deserve what you have ended up like this for a piece of trash!"
"Stop talking!" My mother stopped me angrily.
"You're the one who spoiled her!" my dad accused my mom.
My mother snatched the phone from me and comforted me, "Xiaoyue, your father is angry, so his words are a little harsh, don't take it to heart. If you don't want to come back for the time being, it's okay. We are relieved to have Zhengnan by your side."
As soon as my mother finished speaking, my father spoke again, "Zhengnan doesn't have so much time to waste, are you going to just accompany her?!"
Xu Zhengnan took the phone from my hand and said calmly, "Uncle Li, Aunt Bai, don't worry. I have nothing to do during this period. I will take good care of Li Yue."
I don't know what was said on the other end. I just heard Xu Zhengnan respond with a few words and then hang up.
What my father said just now made me feel very stressed. I walked over to the sofa and sat down, hugging a pillow for a long time without saying a word.
"Are you shocked?" Xu Zhengnan came to sit down beside me and handed me a glass of boiled water. "You know your father's character best. He loves me deeply and hates me deeply."
I took the cup of water and forced an ugly smile on my face, "Xu Zhengnan, have I become a laughing stock in your eyes?"
