When he thought of this, more details that Zheng Xiaolong had not noticed or thought about before came to his mind.
It seems that as far as I can remember, I have never seen Chen Ruru wearing a skirt. She always wore long tops and long pants. She never wore the clothes her mother bought for her, saying that she didn't want to get tanned and it would look ugly.
Zheng Xiaolong thought she was too pretentious at that time!
He couldn't remember when it started, but if she was really being abused, some of her pretentious and weird behaviors seemed to have a reasonable explanation.
Suddenly, an indescribable feeling of self-blame and guilt surged in his heart. He also said that he treated her as a younger sister, but he was too incompetent as a brother. He never thought about why she was like this. He just thought that she was spoiled and arrogant and making trouble unreasonably.
Zheng Xiaolong felt mixed emotions and turned around and rushed into Li Mengxue's house.
"Hey, what are you doing!" He ran too fast, and Li Mengxue didn't catch him, and cursed: "Reckless!"
Afraid that he would be too direct and irritate Chen Ruru, she quickly followed him, and Yi Qingqing followed closely behind.
When Zheng Xiaolong went in, Chen Ruru was eating. Her right hand was injured, so Qian Lailai fed her with a spoon. Her cheeks were puffed up, and she ate one bite at a time, like a well-behaved child.
Zheng Xiaolong rushed in and without saying a word, grabbed Chen Ruru's sleeves and rolled them up.
The glaring marks on it caught his eyes, leaving him no room to dodge.
Zheng Xiaolong was regretful and angry: "Why...why didn't you say it!"
Chen Ruru hid her arm in panic: "I accidentally bumped into it on the way here, it's okay."
Zheng Xiaolong used to be a little bit nervous, but he is not a fool: "Don't lie to me, it was Aunt Xu who did it, right? You insisted on marrying me, didn't she force you to do that?"
Chen Ruru smiled and retorted: "No, I hit myself, it has nothing to do with mom! My engagement with you was paid for by my father's life, I must marry you!"
Before Li Mengxue entered the door, she heard Zheng Xiaolong's somewhat irritable voice. Just as she was about to say something to him, Yi Qingqing held her back.
Yi Qingqing discovered that Chen Ruru's condition was much better than she had imagined. She seemed to be just too obsessed with marrying Zheng Xiaolong and fulfilling her engagement. Also, because she had been abused for a long time, she didn't feel any pain when she was injured, and her emotions were actually quite stable. If she asked Zheng Xiaolong about it, she might find something new.
After all, it seems that Chen Ruru treats Zheng Xiaolong very differently. Even if she is forced to do so, she may have become accustomed to facing Zheng Xiaolong in a flattering manner.
Zheng Xiaolong looked at Chen Ruru as she lied with a smile. Then she said the same words again, which he had heard so many times that his ears were almost callused: "You must marry me." Her tone didn't change at all, but his heart seemed to be gripped by something.
In the past, he thought that Chen Ru Ru would never listen to his rejection, but today he realized the difference for the first time.
It seemed like she had only ever said she wanted to marry him, and had never said she loved him.
Zheng Xiaolong realized that this might be an opportunity to resolve the dispute between him and Chen Ruru, so he calmed down and asked, "Besides your uncle, do you have any other reason to marry me?"
"Only by marrying you can I become a member of your family. The two families can become one family, and Dad can rest assured." Chen Ruru said it without much thought. These are the words her mother told her since she was a child.
Her uncle and aunt have always treated her like their daughter-in-law. They always think of her when it comes to delicious food and fun things. It can be said that her family has no worries about food and clothing, and she has been loved by others because of the care of her uncle and aunt.
If Brother Zheng marries someone else, then the love of her uncle and aunt will no longer belong to her. Her mother will blame her, and her father will blame her too. That won't work.
"Even if you don't marry me, our family will always take care of you!" Zheng Xiaolong didn't understand. Her parents loved her like a daughter, but her mother was still alive, so Aunt Xu had no say in many things. But she never treated her badly, and it wasn't just because she was his fiancée!
Chen Ruru shook her head: "It will definitely not be the same as it is now."
Yi Qingqing saw what the two people were thinking in the big golden book, and they both had different focuses.
She guessed that Chen Ruru's mother had instilled in her mind the idea that Zheng Xiaolong's parents were only nice to her because of the engagement. Compared to marrying Zheng Xiaolong, Chen Ruru cared more about her relationship with Zheng Xiaolong's parents.
Come to think of it, her mother was so extreme and cruel to her daughter. Chen Ruru has grown up so big, and the thing she misses most is probably the love of Zheng Xiaolong's parents!
Coupled with Zheng Xiaolong's resistance, the repeated mention of the engagement, and her mother's influence, Chen Ruru naturally connected the engagement to the reason why Zheng Xiaolong's parents loved her, and also her dead father's life, so she was naturally persistent and refused to give up.
But compared to marrying Zheng Xiaolong, it would be better to just be his sister, so that this kind of relationship can be maintained more easily! How can love be as stable as family affection?
"Ruru, if there is a way that allows you to get the love of his parents without marrying Zheng Xiaolong, and be like a family, and even if he gets married, it will not affect your relationship with his parents, do you still want to marry him?" Yi Qingqing said.
"Is there really such a way?" Chen Ruru had a little hope for a moment, then quickly shook her head: "No, there isn't. There is no other way except marrying him."
"Yes! Isn't it enough for you to be my sister?" Zheng Xiaolong was reminded by Yi Qingqing's words and realized what Chen Ruru really wanted.
"I don't want to, please stop talking, I won't give up the engagement!" Chen Ruru had heard the words of being his sister countless times, but they were just excuses. Once she really agreed and the engagement was gone, she would have nothing!
Zheng Xiaolong finally saw some hope, but he didn't expect her to be so stubborn. He couldn't persuade her no matter what, so he yelled, "Can you stop being so stubborn?"
Li Mengxue was frightened by his roar.
Yi Qingqing frowned. Chen Ruru's obsession was too deep-rooted. She didn't trust Zheng Xiaolong's words at all. Zheng Xiaolong couldn't explain this matter either. It would still take his parents to come.
She pulled the angry Zheng Xiaolong out of the house. Li Mengxue did not follow her this time. She looked at Zheng Xiaolong with a strange look.
People say that when choosing a boyfriend, you shouldn’t just consider how he treats you, but also how he treats others.
Because when he loves you and wants to win your heart, he will definitely treat you well, but this kindness does not necessarily represent his character.
When he loves you and restrains himself, you cannot see the low side of his character by just looking at how he treats you.
If a person is humble, polite, tolerant and generous to other people, it proves that he is loving and well-educated. Then no matter how long you have been together, he will not be too bad to you, because the low points in his character are not too low.
Otherwise, once love is gone, he will treat you worse than others.
Li Mengxue knew that Zheng Xiaolong was not that bad, it’s just that he was not as good as she imagined.
When he saw Chen Ruru, who grew up with him, suffering such inhuman torture, he only felt guilty for a while. Every word he said to her was to cancel the engagement and achieve his own goal. He got angry when his words didn't make sense.
She and her sisters all felt sorry for Chen Ruru and wanted to help her!
He never noticed anything abnormal with Chen Ruru, and it could be said that he hated her and subconsciously avoided her and didn't want to think about it. However, his family did not agree to cancel the engagement, so he ran to the countryside to escape the constraints of his family. He also concealed the fact that he had his fiancée and pursued his own life. This was really irresponsible of him.
Section 129
He ran away to the countryside because he would be free there and no one would force him to get married. He hid his fiancée's identity because he was afraid that she would mind, get angry, or break up with him.
If you think about it carefully, the way he solved problems was always from his own perspective. He never considered that his family would worry about him running away to the countryside, nor did he consider that hiding the truth from his fiancée would hurt her. He just wanted to make himself comfortable and escape whenever he could.
Imagine if one day, when their love period is over and there is some friction, how will he treat me? Will his attitude be better than that towards his parents and Chen Ruru?
She couldn't accept being treated like this.
This relationship and this person suddenly became boring. Let it go. The last bit of reluctance will fade away soon if it remains in her heart. She should not hesitate any longer and find an opportunity to end it.
After thinking this through, she calmed down and went out to find Yi Qingqing and the others. She didn't want to be with him anymore, but she still hoped that he could resolve Chen Ruru's issue, hoped that he would no longer be bound by the engagement, and that Chen Ruru could find true happiness.
At this time, Yi Qingqing was giving advice to Zheng Xiaolong and didn't notice that Li Mengxue's mood had suddenly changed so much.
"Chen Ruru doesn't trust you at all, and her mother must have instilled in her many paranoid ideas. Over the years, they have become deeply rooted. You can't persuade her with just a few words. You should contact your parents. She trusts them more than you do. She also wants to maintain a relationship with your parents, but now she stubbornly believes that your parents love her because she is your fiancée..."
"That's not the case. My parents treat her like their daughter. Because she has always wanted to marry me, my parents ignored my thoughts and asked me to give in to her every time!" Zheng Xiaolong retorted.
"I know that's not the case, but she has been taught this since she was a child, and she would be beaten if she didn't do what she was told. Doesn't she feel pain since she was a child? After so many years, isn't it normal for her to have stubborn and distorted thoughts? What you should do is not to deny her over and over again, but to use your actions to make her believe that even if she doesn't marry you, your family will not change their attitude towards her! Since your parents have always treated her like a daughter, then officially recognize her as a daughter, and then take good care of her and slowly change her views. Don't be too rude!" Yi Qingqing was about to get angry, "In short, hurry up and notify your family and discuss a solution. You owe her this!"
Zheng Xiaolong blushed and said, "I'll make the call now!"
Seeing him pushing the cart away, Yi Qingqing sighed. What was going on?
When they turned around, they saw Li Mengxue standing at the door looking at them with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?" Yi Qingqing asked her.
"I want to break up with him." said Li Mengxue.
"!!!"
Although the breakup of Li Mengxue and Zheng Xiaolong was expected, because Zheng Xiaolong was just the second male lead and the real male lead was someone else, Yi Qingqing was still a little surprised that it happened so soon.
But then I was happy, as if my sister had finally come to her senses: "Break up! I support it with both my hands and feet!"
Li Mengxue: “…”
We broke up, why is she so happy?
"Shouldn't you comfort me now, persuade me to think again, or ask me why?"
"Wouldn't it be good to end this bad relationship as soon as possible and start the next one? I predict that your next relationship will definitely be better than the current one!"
Yi Qingqing hopes that Li Mengxue can escape from her suffering. Zheng Xiaolong is too young and naive. If she continues to be with him and everything goes smoothly, it will be fine. But if there are any problems, it will be too bad. In comparison, the original male protagonist is more mature.
Li Mengxue rolled her eyes: "Forget it, I'm tired!"
After saying that, he went into the house. It was probably wishful thinking to seek some comfort from Yi Qingqing.
Inside the room, Yi Qingqing and the others were sitting on the kang waiting for news.
After Chen Ruru finished her meal, she suddenly said, "Thank you for your hospitality. Here's the money. I'll go clean up the house first."
The others looked at her in surprise: "Where are you going to clean the house? Don't you live here anymore?"
Chen Ruru looked at Li Mengxue and said, "I am already sorry for trying to steal the person you like, and it would be even more sorry if I steal your house. You should just live in another house."
Mom is not here and doesn't live with Brother Zheng, so she shouldn't find out, right?
Just pay more attention to Brother Zheng later.
"By the way, where's Brother Zheng?"
"He's busy with something. Actually, you can live in my house. I just want to live next to Qingqing and Lingling, so I'm going to move to the empty house over there. But that house hasn't been occupied for a long time, and it needs to be repaired. It may take two days."
Li Mengxue has already thought about breaking up. If we continue to live so close, it would be too awkward to see each other every day. We should prepare to move out early!
Wang Lingling: “…”
She wants to move to that house too!
"Really? Then I'll just find someone to renovate the house, and you can exchange it with me after it's done, okay?" Chen Ruru didn't expect such a surprise.
"Where are you staying these days?" Qian Lailai asked. It's not like when they went to the countryside, when they could just sleep on a kang board. The weather is cold now, and if the kang is not repaired and can't be heated, they will freeze to death if they sleep in that room.
"Let him sleep in Zheng Xiaolong's room and let him sleep at Chen Zhihe's place," said Li Mengxue.
If you treat someone as your younger sister, you should always take care of her.
"He won't agree." Chen Ruru knew Zheng Xiaolong very well, and said, "Do you mind if I sleep in his room?"
"Don't mind, thank you for coming over. You let me see clearly what kind of person he is. He and I are not suitable for each other. I plan to break up with him." Li Mengxue thought it through and stopped hesitating.
"What?" Qian Lailai and Wang Lingling were shocked. "What happened? Mengxue, are you okay?"
Li Mengxue glanced at Yi Qingqing.
"It's better to split it up. Zheng Xiaolong has gone too far!"
"Yes, unforgivable!"
Li Mengxue: “…”
Yi Qingqing raised her eyebrows at Li Mengxue. See, best friends have sharp eyes!
