"You don't love me." Jiujiu looked into Li Chen's eyes and said, "Love will always be love. If you really loved me, you wouldn't have treated me like that back then, and you wouldn't have done those things that made me unhappy. So, you don't love me."
Li Chen was silent for a moment and said, "No matter what you say, I really love you. I've thought about what you said before. I only have one thing on my mind now, and that is, what do you want me to do for you to forgive me and go back to the past with me?"
Jiujiu looked at Li Chen.
Li Chen's eyes were filled with regret.
Of course, Jiujiu was willing to believe that Li Chen was really regretting it.
However, there were some things that couldn't be changed just because you regretted it.
Just like the lyrics of the song, who else can a broken heart love?
He had hurt Gu Ya so badly that it was too late for him to ask for forgiveness now.
Jiujiu looked at Li Chen and said, "Do you really think that you'll change just because I say so?"
"How would I know if I can change if you don't say it?"
Jiujiu said, "You're willing to change, but what about your parents? Are they willing to change too? "
Upon hearing Jiujiu mention his parents, Li Chen's expression instantly turned ugly. He couldn't help but growl, "Gu Ya, don't go overboard."
"Am I going overboard, or are you going overboard?" Jiujiu looked back at him, unwilling to be outdone. "You saw how your parents went to the house that day. Who was the one who went overboard?"
When Jiujiu mentioned that day, Li Chen instantly fell silent.
"No matter what, they're my parents. When we get married, they'll be your parents too. I've already told them off, and they know that they're wrong. They'll change in the future. Just forget about it."
"A leopard can change its spots, but a leopard can't. It's easy for me to forget, but it's hard for your parents to change their bad habits."
Jiujiu's words made Li Chen silent for a moment. Then, Li Chen said, "At most, we won't live with my parents after we get married."
Jiujiu chuckled. "Your parents paid for the house. Do you think you can leave just because you say so?"
How could Jiujiu not know what Li Chen was planning? He just wanted to stabilize her heart now and marry her. When his parents really moved in in the future, she would already be married to him. No matter how much trouble he caused, it wouldn't be too big of a deal.
Jiujiu's words had undoubtedly destroyed Li Chen's wishful thinking.
Li Chen's heart sank. He could not help but say, "Guya, don't go overboard. Everyone will grow old one day. Have you thought about what will happen to you when you grow old?"
"I have money. I can do whatever I want when I'm old." Jiujiu looked at Li Chen's angry face and said, "I won't shamelessly cling onto my son and daughter-in-law and refuse to let go."
Wasn't Jiujiu implying that Li Chen's parents would cling onto Li Chen and refuse to let go?
Li Chen was so angry that his face turned red from Jiujiu's words. However, he could only retort dryly, "No matter what, they are my parents after all."
"You said it yourself. They are your parents, not mine. You have the obligation to take care of them, but I don't."
After Jiujiu said this, she paused and added, "Since you keep talking to me about this, I'll be frank with you. The reason why I keep talking to you is that I heard everything you said on the phone in the past."
Li Chen had talked about everything on the phone with his mother. He had even unknowingly said a lot of things that looked down on Guya.
Otherwise, no matter how bold Li Chen's mother was, she would not have looked down on Guya the first time they met.
The reason why she dared to be so presumptuous in front of Guya was because Guya liked her son, Li Chen.
Li Chen had said so much to his mother that he didn't even know when he had said something overboard. So, when Jiujiu said that she had heard everything, his face turned pale out of reflex.
This was because he didn't know what Jiujiu had heard.
Because he didn't know what he had said, Li Chen didn't dare to say a word.
Meanwhile, Jiujiu saw Li Chen's pale face and was even more certain that Li Chen had said a lot of bad things to his mother. So, she directly said what she thought Li Chen might have said, "I heard you say to your mother that you don't want to marry me."
Li Chen had indeed said this to his mother. So, his face instantly turned pale.
Li Chen hurriedly explained, "It's not that I don't want to marry you. It's just that the betrothal gifts on your side are too expensive."
"If you think that the betrothal gifts on my side are too expensive, if you really want to marry me, won't you work hard to save up for the betrothal gifts?" Jiujiu looked at Li Chen and asked, "Let's take a step back. Do you think my parents are the kind of people who would sell their daughter for betrothal gifts?
I've already said everything. If you really want to marry me, my parents will definitely be very happy. They will reduce the betrothal gifts based on your family's situation and even give you a lot of dowry.
At the end of the day, everything you've said is just an excuse. The real reason is that you don't want to marry me at all. Isn't that right? "
Li Chen muttered, "No."
Jiujiu couldn't be bothered with Li Chen's weak defense anymore. She said directly, "I have a clear conscience about this relationship. I can give you all that I can. As for you, you know very well what you're doing.
Moreover, ever since you treated me like that last time, my feelings for you have become very little. If you're willing to break up, the two of us can part on good terms. If you're not willing, then don't blame me for calling the security guards to chase you away. "
Li Chen saw Jiujiu's determined expression and couldn't help but ask, "Is there really no way to turn things around?"
Li Chen's words were already laced with tears.
However, it didn't arouse any sympathy from Jiujiu.
Jiujiu shook her head firmly. "No."
Li Chen saw Jiujiu's determined expression. Even though he really wanted to turn things around, in the end, he only looked at Jiujiu deeply and turned to leave.
After Li Chen left, Jiujiu walked straight to the office.
After Li Chen left for a while, he took out his phone and called his parents. "I went to look for Gu Ya. She said no."
Hearing Li Chen say no, Li Chen's mother immediately scolded, "I knew that little b * tch wouldn't like you after climbing up the social ladder. You didn't believe me."
When he heard that his mother was talking about Jiujiu, Li Chen, who had just been rejected by Jiujiu, felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Li Chen lowered his eyes and said, "Mom, since she's already unwilling, let's prepare for the worst."
Li Chen's mother could only accept it when she heard Li Chen say forget it.
Although she felt that it was a pity to let go of such a big fish like Jiujiu, Li Chen's mother, who felt that Li Chen was a precious treasure, immediately pulled herself together and said with a smile, "Don't be sad. Mom has already found a good girl for you. She works in your city and earns a few thousand a month. I'll send her WeChat to you later. Add her WeChat and we can have a good chat."
