Chapter 104: He made the decision so forcefully
Yan Ye just said this, his dark eyes fell on the woman's little face, as if waiting for her reaction.
Xu Xiaoyue frowned and thought for a long time, but she had no impression of the big locust tree that Yan Ye mentioned.
But Xu Xiaoyue was certain that he had absolutely no knowledge of the meeting Yan Ye mentioned. Judging from the man's appearance, he would definitely remember it if he had met her.
Unless, they had met before she transmigrated into the book, but at that time on the train, Yan Ye didn't seem to recognize her.
Xu Xiaoyue really couldn't think of anything, so she looked up at the people and said, "Then what? Just say what you want to say, no need to guess riddles with me."
"What did your mother tell you at the time? She told you to find a man with good conditions in the compound and date two more."
As a mother, Xu's mother actually taught her daughter in this way. Yan Ye recalled the scene of that day again, and he didn't even realize that there was a hint of displeasure in his words.
This was also the fundamental reason why he disliked Xu Xiaoyue in the beginning.
Xu Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that this was indeed the case. At that time, she was about to get in the car sent by the Yan family's driver to pick her up. Xu's mother had told her earnestly at the entrance of the village that when she arrived at the compound, she should not worry too much about her "fiancé".
If there are excellent and suitable ones, you can also go and find out.
In response to this, Xu Xiaoyue agreed first. She didn't expect that just a few words would make Yan Ye, a narrow-minded man, remember it for so long.
The two stood face to face, and Xu Xiaoyue took the lead in breaking the deadlock, "Since you care about this matter so much, why didn't you tell me at the time?"
“At that time, I didn’t even plan that you would marry into the Yan family.”
These words were said with sharp honesty, like a blade, cutting through the matter clearly for Xu Xiaoyue to see thoroughly.
"What do you mean?" Xu Xiaoyue asked back.
Having said that, Yan Ye said bluntly: "Marriage is a matter between two families."
"Because I like you, I am willing to tolerate everything about you, good or bad."
"But this does not mean that I will tolerate your family, including your mother. I hope you can cut off ties with them."
"I will repay you double the amount they spent raising you over the years."
Xu Xiaoyue's head was buzzing, and it took her a while to realize what the man meant, "What if I say no?"
Yan Ye frowned, as if he didn't expect her attitude to be like this, "I know it's hard for you to accept this all at once."
"I will accompany you to slowly adapt, until I sever the relationship with you myself."
His matter-of-fact tone was like a blow to Xu Xiaoyue, and she completely woke up from their romantic relationship.
Perhaps it wasn't just the Yan family, the entire compound thought so. She was just a little country girl from the countryside, and was just lucky enough to have a relationship with Old Man Yan, so what if she came all the way here.
In the eyes of this group of people, she was like a joke.
Xu Xiaoyue knew very well that if she had not secretly told Liu Ye about the cancellation of the marriage when she first arrived at the Yan family, and then took the initiative to find a job and have a source of income later, the Yan family's attitude towards her would have been almost the same as in the original book.
To put it another way, she now thinks that she has escaped from the ending of the original book, but when she looks back on it, she still cannot reach the Yan family.
There was a gap as big as the Pacific Ocean between her and Yan Ye. It was this gap that allowed Yan Ye to feel at ease saying that he wanted her to sever ties with her family.
It was a sunny day, but Xu Xiaoyue shivered for no reason, and the chill ran from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.
She handed the fifty yuan Liu Ye had given her to the man, lowered her head and said softly, "I feel a little uncomfortable and want to go back first."
After saying this, without waiting for any response from the man, she turned around, raised her legs, and strode away.
She walked faster and faster, and finally she started running.
Yan Ye looked at the figure walking away, moved his feet, but ultimately chose not to chase after him.
People always have to grow up. He loves Xu Xiaoyue, but he also hopes that Xu Xiaoyue can see the reality clearly. People like Xu's mother are not worthy of being a mother.
When she got home and was about to go out, Liu Ye put on her shoes and saw Xu Xiaoyue running back with sweat on her forehead and red cheeks.
"What happened? Didn't you go out to buy rice and flour? Why are you back so soon?"
After saying that, Liu Ye realized something was wrong. She looked behind the woman, but there was no trace of Yan Shuli.
The woman's heart skipped a beat, remembering that the two had just left and Zheng Jiaojiao had followed them out. Could it be that the three of them had had an argument and Xu Xiaoyue came back because she was angry?
Liu Ye looked at Xu Xiaoyue and saw that she looked listless. There was a hint of redness at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and her almond-shaped eyes were watery, and it was obvious that she had been crying.
"It's okay Aunt Liu, I'm just a little tired from walking, so I'll come back to rest first. I'll go upstairs."
Just this one sentence seemed to have consumed all her energy. She dragged her tired body upstairs as if nothing had happened.
As soon as she entered the room, Xu Xiaoyue's legs went limp and she just lay down on the bed. She turned her head and covered herself with the quilt.
She didn't know what kind of mood Yan Ye was in when he said that. Xu's mother had her own selfish motives, but Xu Xiaoyue didn't think that the other party was necessarily a bad person.
She still remembered that when she was about to get on the bus at the entrance of the village, her mother's eyes were red and she was obviously reluctant to let her daughter go, but she still let Xu Xiaoyue get on the bus without hesitation. She hoped that her daughter could live a good life and not be like her, buried in the loess and living a life that could be seen at a glance.
Even after she arrived in the capital, she would receive letters from home every now and then, and they would often worry about whether she was living well in the capital and whether she was being bullied.
Xu Xiaoyue took possession of someone else's biological daughter's body. When she received a letter from Xu's mother, she would send some money and food coupons back, which was at least part of her intention.
Regardless of the relationship between her and the Xu family, what Xu Xiaoyue could not accept the most was Yan Ye’s excessive machismo.
The two of them were just in a relationship, but he took it for granted that she should break off her relationship with the Xu family. In the name of doing it for her own good, he arbitrarily decided everything for her and secretly looked down on her family.
If she has to accept everything that the other person arranges for her just because she likes someone, then what freedom does she have?
When she thought about it, her mind suddenly became clear. Since the gap between the two sides was too big, she didn't have to be with Yan Ye.
While the feelings between the two are not that strong yet, it is better to break up first than to suffer a long pain.
It's a good thing to part ways in peace. As long as you don't do anything naughty, you won't end up being shot as described in the book.
Having prepared herself for the breakup, Xu Xiaoyue didn't feel so sad at all. She felt as if it was really happening.
