“But he’s my father!” Xia Yuluo truly wished he would say something harsh.
“You originally told me not to agree. If anyone’s to blame, it’s me!”
“But you clearly just wanted to help me!”
“Ah!” Fang Yuzhe was too lazy to argue. “Anyway, that amount of money is nothing in my father’s eyes. Consider it as buying you a nice car!”
“Oh, are you fighting?” Xiao Lin Yingzi and others came out of the classroom, just seeing the tense expressions of the couple.
Fang Yuzhe was actually quite unhappy. Fang Tiancheng wanted to settle accounts with Xia Dahao because of this matter.
It wasn’t just about money; he believed his son’s feelings had been deceived, and that was absolutely unacceptable! If his father were to settle accounts, his relationship with Yu Luo would definitely be over!
Fang Yuzhe had a hard time stopping his father, spending countless words to convince him that this had nothing to do with Xia Yuluo. However, Xia Yuluo was also unhappy and had inexplicably distanced herself from him.
Are we going to date or not!
Fang Yuzhe was already in a bad mood, so when Xiao Lin Yingzi made a sarcastic remark, he suddenly became furious. Crossing his arms, he approached her and pointed at her shoulder from above – “How did Xia Yuluo know about this?”
“Fang Yuzhe, what are you doing!”
Fang Yuzhe pushed her shoulder against the wall and lowered his voice: “I have a few buddies who are very interested in you. Want me to set you up?”
“Don’t think I’m easy to bully!”
“Heh, cause me trouble again, and you’ll know what being bullied really means!” He let go and stood up, his expression frighteningly cold. Xia Yuluo was stunned watching from the side.
Fang Yuzhe had always maintained a good temper in front of Xia Yuluo, making her believe her boyfriend was the kindest person on earth!
But don’t forget, Fang Yuzhe is Fang Tiancheng’s son, and Fang Tiancheng owns two nightclubs. Would he be an ordinary businessman? So his kindness was limited and only applied to certain people.
“Xia Yuluo, don’t come to work here anymore!” The boss told her as soon as she entered the restaurant in the evening.
Fang Yuzhe didn’t want her to work, but she refused to agree. Although she knew that little money wasn’t much, it was better than nothing. She even bought a small notebook in her last afternoon class, deciding to save every penny from that day to fill the 70,000 yuan black hole.
“What did I do wrong?” Xia Yuluo was both shocked and panicked.
“It’s not that you did anything wrong. Your boyfriend said if we dare to keep you, he’ll shut down our shop. We can’t afford to offend students from Xuyang High School, so don’t come back!”
How could this be! Xia Yuluo called Fang Yuzhe furiously after leaving the restaurant, “Why are you interfering with my affairs! How dare you threaten people!”
“Hey, Xia Yuluo, you won’t let me find you during the day, and you want to work at night. Are we going to date or not!”
Xia Dahao still spoke up for his wife: “Your aunt is just cleaning the room, what’s the big deal!”
“It’s been so long since that happened. We’ll have a chance to bring Fang Yuzhe home to play sometime!” Xia Dahao said.
Xia Yuluo was speechless with her father. It’s okay to be thick-skinned, but there should be a limit! Forget it, she couldn’t use such harsh words to describe her father. But at school, Xiao Lin Yingzi and the others would curse her like this – she was taking the blame for him, yet he showed no remorse at all!
“I’ll go to my room to do homework.” She wanted to stay away and didn’t want to hear either of them speak.
“Doing homework! You come home so early every day. What if Fang Yuzhe starts pursuing another girl?”
“He can chase whoever he wants. I’m waiting to break up with him!” Xia Yuluo turned angrily and went upstairs, leaving the two people in the living room thinking they had misheard.
As soon as Yuluo entered her room, her phone started ringing. Without looking, she knew it was Fang Yuzhe. She really wanted to pretend she didn’t hear it, not wanting to say sweet nothings insincerely. Xia Yuluo felt she was no longer willing to be in this relationship.
“Have you gotten home?” Fang Yuzhe asked.
“Yes, I’m studying.”
“I’ll come pick you up later!” His tone was as decisive as ever.
“Why?
I’m not feeling well,” Xia Yuluo unconsciously frowned.
“How can you not feel well? Where does it hurt? I’ll take you to see a doctor.”
“No need, I’ll just rest a bit.”
“Then lie down. I’ll be at your door in half an hour.”
“Can’t I just not go out?”
“Of course not! Hurry up!”
Xia Yuluo was going crazy. What was she – his girlfriend or a slave with a contract? She really didn’t want this. Debt can be repaid, but don’t use emotions to repay it! Even if she can’t repay, she doesn’t want to sell herself to him!
She thought about it and started crying, lying on the desk feeling aggrieved. Seven hundred thousand! Her life was over! What if one day he not only wanted to enslave her emotions, but wanted something else?
Although Xia Yuluo seemed like a submissive girl, she was actually quite rebellious in her heart. Always having to listen to others at home, being monopolized in her relationship – who would want that!
But her unwillingness was useless. Half an hour later, Xia Dahao personally came to knock on the door – “Yuluo, Xiao Zhe is here to pick you up. Hurry down!”
Xia Yuluo sat motionless on the chair, thinking how was this different from a mother calling her daughter to receive a guest?
Ten minutes passed, and she hadn’t gone down.
Fang Yuzhe personally came to knock. “Yuluo, are you still not feeling well?”
Xia Yuluo bit her lip, stood up from the chair, grabbed her coat, and slammed open the door, not even looking at him as she went downstairs, startling Fang Yuzhe.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already talked to your dad, and he said you don’t need to go back home tonight.” The lecher winked at her.
“But—”
“No buts—you can’t jump out of the car, just sit quietly with me.”
The car turned through several streets, and Xia Yuluo knew where he was going; this was the direction of his apartment. In the past, he often dragged her home after school, but it was just to hang out for a while. Wouldn’t he have bad intentions tonight?
Thinking about how terrifying he was that night on the mountaintop, Xia Yuluo felt desperate. In a room with just the two of them, what could she do if he wanted to do something?
“Fang Yuzhe, you’re not going to—going to—with me—”
“Of course I want to be with you!” he said with anticipation: “I have no interest in anyone else!”
Fang Yuzhe drove the car to the apartment building, parked, unbuckled his seatbelt, got out, and opened her car door. “Let’s go!”
Xia Yuluo instinctively shrank back but was suddenly pulled out of the car.
“Fang Yuzhe, let’s not go home. Look how beautiful the moon is tonight, let’s take a walk outside!” Xia Yuluo desperately tried to resist.
“Walk? Hurry up, you’re driving me crazy!” His impatience was too obvious.
Xia Yuluo was dragged to the door, her legs weak with fear. He opened the door and pushed her inside, and the lock clicked shut behind her.
The apartment was dark, with the curtains drawn. Xia Yuluo quickly reached for the light switch in the corner, but pressing it yielded no response.
“Fang Yuzhe, why won’t the lights turn on?”
“I don’t know, maybe they’re broken,” Fang Yuzhe said with a clear laugh.
Fang Yuzhe turned his head away, not looking at her.
“There’s nothing to apologize for. Although I always make you do things you don’t want to, I can’t force you to like me.”
“I didn’t mean to say those things.”
“At least you admit it was the truth!”
