"Did you have an argument with Qing Wan around noon?"
Lu Xiaoran frowned slightly at the message, struggling to recall who had sent it. He scrolled through the chat history and finally remembered that it was Liu Guangping, the father of Liu Qingwan.
Realizing who it was, Lu Xiaoran smirked and casually replied, "We've broken up."
As soon as he sent the message, it was as if Liu Guangping had been waiting by his phone. A few seconds later, a reply came through: "Lu Xiaoran, don't be so impulsive. Acting on impulse is a devil's game.
Listen to your uncle; apologize to Qing Wan and you two can make up. After all these years together, can you really bear to end it like this?"
Feeling that a few words weren't convincing enough, Liu Guangping sent several more messages, earnestly trying to persuade Lu Xiaoran.
In summary, he was urging Lu Xiaoran to reconcile with his daughter and stick to their previous plan of holding a wedding in May.
Lu Xiaoran looked at Liu Guangping's messages with disdain in his eyes. In this apocalyptic world, he had seen through the true nature of the Liu family. They had no genuine feelings for him; they were merely interested in what he could provide.
Just like now, the reason Liu Guangping was so persistent in persuading him to get back together with his daughter was because he couldn't bear to part with the promised dowry of 188,000 and the house that would bear Liu Qingwan's name.
"You're only saying this because you don't want to lose the dowry and that house, right?"
Lu Xiaoran's blunt reply made Liu Guangping feel a bit embarrassed.
"One should leave some room for others; it makes future encounters easier. Do you have to be so straightforward? Don't I deserve some face?"
"Lu Xiaoran, don't assume others have dark motives. I just think you and Qing Wan are well-matched. I can't bear to see you two part ways over such a trivial disagreement."
Lu Xiaoran secretly laughed. Well-matched? You didn't say that when you urged us to break up before.
Lu Xiaoran and Liu Qingwan had attended the same university and started dating in their sophomore year. After graduating in their senior year, Lu Xiaoran expressed his desire to marry Liu Qingwan, but was met with her family's opposition.
They believed Lu Xiaoran's family wasn't wealthy enough, especially since a rich heir was also pursuing Liu Qingwan at that time. They thought it would be better for their daughter to be with this wealthy man than with Lu Xiaoran, the poor boy; if their daughter became a rich wife, they would naturally benefit as well.
Thus, they forced Lu Xiaoran and Liu Qingwan to break up. However, contrary to their expectations, the rich heir only wanted to date Liu Qingwan for her looks and had no intention of marrying her. Once he grew bored, he simply discarded her.
In desperation, Liu Qingwan had no choice but to turn to Lu Xiaoran for help. By this time, Lu Xiaoran had been working for several years and had saved up a decent amount of money.
Moreover, Lu Xiaoran promised that in addition to the bride price, he would buy a house, with the property deed solely in his daughter's name. This finally convinced Liu Qingwan to agree to the marriage.
"Lu Xiaoran, don't get too cocky. If you go back on your promise, you'll be held legally accountable. Be careful; I might take you to court," she warned.
Seeing that gentle persuasion was ineffective, Liu Guangping resorted to bullying tactics, trying to threaten Lu Xiaoran with a lawsuit.
Lu Xiaoran couldn't help but laugh at this response. Truly, those who lack shame are invincible in this world. Liu Guangping had taken shamelessness to an entirely new level.
