Chapter 109: Talk
Xu Xiaoyue naturally knew that Yan Ye was deliberately helping her out.
She pursed her lips, feeling a little complicated for a moment.
"Your little face is so wrinkled, what are you thinking about?" When Wang Ma came to her senses, she saw Xu Xiaoyue's bitter and resentful look.
"If you keep wrinkling, you'll soon become an old woman in her seventies or eighties with wrinkles."
Xu Xiaoyue stared at the woman in front of her with her round almond eyes, "Auntie Wang, you are really making fun of me now."
"I'm not making fun of you. I'm telling you the truth. You're so young, and I don't know what you worry about every day." The woman worked skillfully while distracting herself to answer Xu Xiaoyue's words.
Her daughter was about the same age as Xu Xiaoyue. Whenever she saw the young girl living cautiously under someone else's roof, Aunt Wang would always think of her daughter back home.
Xu Xiaoyue didn't say anything, and helped Wang Ma. After a long while, she seemed to be at a loss for words, and said in a low voice: "Wang Ma, there is something I want to ask you."
"That's right, I have a friend who has a boyfriend."
"Then this person was not very satisfied with my friend's family conditions and advised my friend to cut off contact with her family..."
Halfway through her words, Wang Ma glanced at Xu Xiaoyue and asked, "Why doesn't your friend break up with his girlfriend?"
"If you are not from the same family, you will not marry. Do you think he looks down on your friend's family? Most likely he looks down on your friend as well. This is too cold-blooded. Even if the family is not good, at least he worked hard to raise the child."
"I think your friend's partner is not a good person either."
Xu Xiaoyue paused. She didn't expect Wang Ma to react so violently. She bit her lip and raised her eyes to meet Wang Ma's gaze. She said slowly, "It's so serious."
Seeing her dazed look, Wang Ma worriedly warned her, "You need to tell your friend to stay away from people like that. Some gay men nowadays just want to have fun, and many end up being irresponsible."
"When it comes to dating, you have to keep your eyes open."
Xu Xiaoyue nodded, and she struggled to speak again, "Actually, my friend's boyfriend is pretty nice to my friend except for the family issue."
"That person can't be all bad. He must have some good sides." Aunt Wang said indifferently.
Xu Xiaoyue originally wanted to seek advice from Wang Ma, but when she heard Wang Ma's disapproving tone, she became even more entangled and self-defeating.
She was silent for a moment, put down the vegetable leaves in her hand, and said, "Auntie Wang, I'll go upstairs for a while."
After saying that, Xu Xiaoyue clenched her fists, mustered up her courage, and walked towards Yan Ye.
The man was in the living room. Perhaps he was tired of Zheng Jiaojiao's crying, so he sat on the sofa with his back to them. This made it easier for her to approach and talk to him.
The girl clenched her fists, prepared herself mentally, and exhaled before walking forward, "Are you busy now? I want to talk to you."
A shadow fell in front of the man. Yan Ye raised his head and raised his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Where are we going to talk?"
The two finally chose to go out. The sky outside was overcast and there was a breeze blowing. Xu Xiaoyue rubbed her palms, and the next second, the warm clothes were draped over her shoulders.
She turned her head and glanced at the man, meeting Yan Ye's dark eyes. The man spoke first: "What do you want to tell me?"
"Thank you for today."
"If it weren't for you, maybe everyone would still be kept in the dark by Zheng Jiaojiao."
Yan Ye smiled nonchalantly, turned his head and looked at the woman who was thanking him earnestly, "You asked me out just to talk about this?"
Xu Xiaoyue shook her head. She knew Yan Ye was looking at her. She was silent for a moment and then continued, "Before, you asked me to break off relations with my family. What if I said I would not break off relations?"
After she finished speaking, she looked down at her toes, pulled down her coat which was about to fall off with her fingers, and waited for the man's answer.
The man paused, as if he had expected it, "Baby, don't ask me like this."
Xu Xiaoyue moved her ears, waiting for the man's second half of the sentence.
"I hope you can get better and get rid of those unnecessary burdens. If you can't do it, I will help you do it."
His tone was not sharp, but the seriousness in his words could not be ignored.
He admitted that he was not completely selfless. Letting Xu Xiaoyue cut off ties with her family meant that the girl could only rely on herself.
Yan Ye was also aware of his own dark possessiveness, and he had no intention of changing it.
"What if I don't want to? Are you going to force me to break up with my family?" Xu Xiaoyue tried to hold back, but still couldn't, her voice choked with sobs.
Yan Ye noticed the girl's crying and his face was flustered for a moment. He looked up and saw that the girl's cheeks were red, her eyes were watery, and her body was shaking with anger.
"Baby."
He just shouted once, and Xu Xiaoyue lowered her head and pretended not to hear.
Yan Ye saw that she didn't want to pay attention to him, so he softened his tone and explained word by word: "It may be difficult for you to accept this now. I will take care of your parents. As I said before, I will double or even triple the cost of raising you."
"Isn't this in line with what your mother thought?"
The most fundamental reason why Yan Ye hates Xu's mother is that he is afraid that Xu Xiaoyue will be corrupted by her. In his cognition, once he has decided on a person, he will not change his mind, but Xu's mother does not think so.
Xu's mother's idea is also very simple. If she is going to marry, she will marry the best one within her means.
That's why he advised Xu Xiaoyue, who was already engaged, to broaden her horizons and look at other gay men.
After what happened to Gu Yichen, Yan Ye was not so depressed. He watched the two of them flirting with each other right under his nose.
Yan Ye thought with a gloomy face that if Yan Shuli was not related to him by blood, he would have packed up the man and sent him to school long ago.
He was enduring it, and Xu Xiaoyue was enduring it as well.
She looked up at the man. Yan Ye's words implied that she should quickly cut off ties with her family. He had a good idea and a good plan.
But he never thought about his own thoughts, and he never asked her.
Xu Xiaoyue is no longer the innocent little girl who knows nothing. She knows that the final result of Yan Ye's actions will make her completely helpless and have no choice but to rely on him.
She couldn't understand it, and really couldn't agree with it.
Xu Xiaoyue walked beside the man in silence. She tugged at the corner of his clothes with her fingers. The seeds of breaking up took root in her heart. She had never realized so clearly that they were not on the same path as at this moment.
