Chapter 227: Chapter 199: Such Great Resentment_2

Who wouldn’t want their child to have a good future, a life free from money worries?

Originally, they thought it was ideal for them to be well-matched in terms of family background, and they trusted Cao Yufan’s character. Even if they got married and became wealthy later, he wouldn’t lose his loyalty. But what happened? Before anything even started, this happened. Had they known, they would rather have chosen someone rich instead of someone who isn’t.

At least if they got married and something happened one day, their daughter wouldn’t suffer financially. Perhaps this is just a mother’s sentiment.

"Oh, Mom! Just relax, okay? Sisi already said that when I go, she’ll give me a place to stay. That way, I don’t have to rent an apartment anymore! I’ll have a place to live, and there’s even someone we know at my internship unit. What are you still worried about?"

How could Bai Shasha not feel upset? In fact, her heart hurts more than anyone’s, but she can endure it. Her parents finally agreed to let her go to Beijing; how could she possibly let this opportunity slip away?

So now, no matter how indifferent and carefree she acts, she has to play it that way—it’s the only way to leave this city that has broken her heart.

Bai Shasha eagerly handed her mom a nectarine, but Mrs. Bai pushed it away with her hand. Bai Shasha casually took a bite herself.

Seeing her daughter being so carefree, Mrs. Bai held her forehead in frustration. How could she not worry?

She worried about everything. A young girl who’s never stepped into society, spent so many years studying—she’s almost grown silly from school. Even if she has a place to live and eat, her mother still worries deep down.

She fears her daughter might be dazzled by the glamorous world or tricked by dishonest men. If that happens, won’t her daughter be the one to suffer?

Thinking about this, Mrs. Bai spoke earnestly and deeply: "Don’t be so careless. Just because someone says you can live there doesn’t mean you can freeload without spending a penny to live in their house.

Here’s what we’ll do. This time, when you leave, your dad and I will give you 8,000 yuan to carry with you. Pay rent if you need to pay rent. If Li Si really insists on not charging you, then buy her something nice. Anyway, everything has its place. Friends are friends, but we shouldn’t owe anyone too much!

When you’re working, it’s not like being at school anymore. You need to be cautious when interacting with others—listen more, observe more, and speak less! With colleagues, it’s enough to get along superficially. Don’t bare your heart and soul as soon as you meet someone!

Also, if you want to buy something you like, don’t hesitate. If you don’t have enough money, let us know. Don’t be short-sighted and take advantage of others!"

Bai Shasha nodded repeatedly while feeling an ache in her heart and warmth in her eyes. This was her mom, no matter how harsh her words were—she still treasured her deeply.

...

The semester began, and the large lecture hall was filled with students. Li Sigan sat down in the seat Xiao Le had saved for her, and Xiao Le immediately leaned close to her ear with an air of mystery, whispering, "Sisi, Ling Wei and Wang Zhe have completely broken up!"

"Really?" Li Si flipped open her notes and smiled at her, saying, "Judging by your expression, it doesn’t seem like it’s that simple, right?"

Liu Xiaole excitedly patted her arm, "See? You get me! Wang Zhe was so mad that he said breaking up was fine, but Ling Wei had to return everything he gave her. I had just walked into the dorm and heard Ling Wei cursing him! This is going to be fun to watch!"

"Ahem, stop talking for now—the teacher’s here!" Li Si cleared her throat lightly and softly reminded her loud friend.

Liu Xiaole made a "later" gesture and pretended to focus intently on the lecture.

The teacher on the podium swept their gaze around the room, nodded in approval, and began the lesson.

After class, the two of them walked out with their bags, chatting, but were suddenly stopped outside by Xu Yi, who seemed to appear out of nowhere. "Li Si, I want to talk to you for a moment!"

Li Si looked visibly annoyed. What was his deal? They’d clearly sorted things out last time—what more was he trying to achieve?

"If it’s still about what you said last time, then forget it! Class president, I hope you can watch your behavior! I’ll say this one last time: I have a boyfriend, and we’re already engaged!"

Liu Xiaole glanced at the two of them curiously, hesitating over whether she should stay or leave.

Just as she was thinking of an excuse to walk away, Li Si shot her a look that stopped her in her tracks. Well, fine. She was someone who really enjoyed a good show anyway.

Xu Yi’s face looked bad—he even seemed a bit worn down. He hadn’t stopped thinking about giving up these past few days, but every night when the world quieted down, Li Si’s image would always invade his mind.

Tonght, he’d gathered a lot of courage and decided to try again. Deep down, he felt that being a couple was better when there wasn’t too much of an age gap. That way, they would have more shared experiences.

Otherwise, with three years equaling one generational gap, Li Si and her fiancé must have several generational gaps between them. Would she really be happy with him instead of with someone like himself?
