Misunderstanding
When Yu Yan saw that Yao Nian was thinking for her sake, she was a little touched. Then, she thought of how her adoptive parents had reduced her allowance without regard for her quality of life, and her mood instantly plummeted.
Yao Nian wanted to retreat in order to advance. After all, if word got out that he had molested Yu Yan, his reputation would be tarnished. However, if Yu Yan insisted, it would be disrespectful for him to refuse. Unexpectedly, Yu Yan remained silent.
Yao Nian could only continue asking, “Yu Yan, what’s wrong? You don’t seem to be in a good mood.”
Yu Yan thought about how she had no one to confide in, and Yao Nian was her boyfriend, so in a sense, he was family. Therefore, she told him what was troubling her.
However, she naturally wouldn’t tell him the truth. Omitting the fact that her parents had asked her to go back because she had lied and they wanted to discipline her, she only said the second half of the matter. “In order to force me to return to the city, my parents halved my allowance and monthly packages.”
This wasn’t good news for Yu Yan, but it was even more shocking for Yao Nian.
He only had 3.88 yuan left in his pocket after paying the medical fees for Yu Yan last time, subtracting the money he spent on dates with Yu Yan recently, and his recent daily expenses. Even if he scrimped and saved, he could only last until next month.
Originally, Yao Nian thought that Yu Yan was quite lavish, since she sent food to those female intellectuals all day long. He was her boyfriend, so if he coaxed her, he would definitely enjoy even more benefits.
Therefore, after knowing that Yu Yan wasn’t that well off, Yao Nian was anxious now.
Although he didn’t know why Yu Yan was unwilling to return to the city, at this moment, even if Yu Yan was willing to go back, he couldn’t let Yu Yan go back. It had not even been a month since two of them had confirmed their relationship. Yu Yan would definitely be arranged to go on a blind date by her parents and marry someone else when she returned. How could he have anything to do with her after that?
When Yu Yan saw Yao Nian’s anxious expression, she thought that Yao Nian was worried about her, so her heart softened and she told him her plan.
After Yao Nian found out why Yu Yan had disappeared today, his previous dissatisfaction with her disappeared. After all, letting Li Xin transfer more money over was the most important thing!
Yao Nian revealed a relaxed smile. “How can there be overnight feuds between mother and daughter? If you have your own thoughts, they should respect you. Just write a letter back and try to compromise.”
Yao Nian wasn’t sure if Yu Yan would be able to get money with this move, but he knew very well that his relationship with Yu Yan had to improve. After Yu Yan became so smitten with him that she couldn’t bear to leave him, if Yu Yan’s parents mentioned returning to the city again, he could persuade Yu Yan and use this opportunity to give the Yu couple a favorable impression of him!
Thinking of this, Yao Nian decided that it was time to write a letter to his mother. He had to tell her the latest news so that Yu Bing’s family wouldn’t change their minds and have designs on him.
Now, he was out of Yu Bing’s league.
When Xiao Sheng went out in the morning and passed by Yu Bing’s house, he saw a man in a black shirt chopping firewood in the courtyard.
Xiao Sheng stopped in his tracks. After hesitating for a moment, he walked in. When Little Tiger saw him, it trot forward and started wagging its tail nonstop.
When Cui Jin saw Little Tiger’s reaction, he knew that the man probably came often and he looked up. Although the other party was expressionless, Cui Jin felt hostility, so Cui Jin’s first guess was that the man in front of him was also Jiang Chun’s admirer.
The two men tacitly kept silent and only sized each other up.
After Yu Bing and Jiang Chun tidied up and pushed open the door, they saw two men staring at each other in the courtyard. The atmosphere was very strange.
Yu Bing scratched her head and decided to break the ice. “Xiao Sheng, why are you here so early in the morning?”
When Xiao Sheng heard this, he felt a little dejected. He felt that Yu Bing had isolated him from that man. Moreover, he was outside while the other party was inside.
Xiao Sheng didn’t answer. Instead, he asked, “Who is he?”
Ever since Jiang Chun confirmed her relationship with Cui Jin and had been dating him for slightly more than half a day, she seemed to have suddenly matured. She immediately understood what the tense atmosphere was about. The smile on her face deepened as she looked at Xiao Sheng and said, “This is my boyfriend, Cui Jin.”
Jiang Chun walked up to Cui Jin and introduced Xiao Sheng. When she saw Cui Jin looking at her with a slightly jealous gaze, she could only secretly glance in Yu Bing’s direction. Cui Jin immediately understood Jiang Chun’s hint.
The tension from just now dissipated in an instant. The two men looked at each other with a smile and shook hands in a friendly manner.historical
