Xu Wennuan was stunned by Lu Bancheng's words and stared at him for a long time without any reaction.
Xu Wennuan only returned to her senses when he said, "Of course, you don't have to rush to respond to me. Go back and think about it carefully." She nodded her head at him and stepped into the elevator without another word.
…
Xu Wennuan rubbed her forehead as she recalled that day. She ignored her mother, who was outside the door, urging her to marry Wu Hao. She turned around and lay on the bed with her eyes closed.
"Xu Wennuan, don't pretend to be asleep. Wu Hao's mother called again today. I'm asking you again. Are you sure you don't want to marry Wu Hao?" Mama Xu banged on the door when she didn't get a response.
"That's enough. If she doesn't want to get married, then don't. Why do you keep forcing her? She's the one who feels the most terrible about her relationship with Wu Hao. "Papa Xu couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to persuade her.
"But we accepted a million dollars as a betrothal gift. How are we going to return it now?"
"Don't we still have a house? Is a house more important than our daughter? "
"But we've worked hard all our lives for this house. We've lived frugally for 30 years, and we've finally paid off our mortgage. We can finally relax. Are we going to sell the house now? Where are we going to live after we sell it? "
"Rent a house …"
"Tell me, why are you speculating in the stock market all of a sudden? You don't understand. If we sell the house now, what will happen to Nuannuan when we're gone? She won't even have a house … "Mama Xu began to cry.
"Alright, don't cry. She'll feel bad if she hears this. Give me the house account, and I'll take it to the real estate agent later …"
Xu Wennuan could not fall asleep even though there was finally silence around her.
As a daughter, how could she allow her parents to sell their house, live in a rented apartment, and spend their remaining years homeless and homeless?
But she couldn't bring herself to return a million dollars to Wu Hao in one night.
Xu Wennuan opened her eyes and stared out the window for a while. Then, she hugged her blanket, sat up, leaned against the headboard, and picked up her cell phone. She stared at the screen and hesitated for a while. Finally, she tapped on Lu Bancheng's number and sent him a text message. "Brother Bancheng, are you serious about what you told me the other day?"
Less than half a minute after the message was sent, Lu Bancheng replied, "I'm serious."
Xu Wennuan bit the corner of her lip, as if she had made up her mind about something. She quickly typed on the screen and typed the message. She didn't even dare to take another look at it before she sent it out. "Brother Bancheng, I agree with your suggestion, but I can't take that money for free. I'll return it to you slowly. Just treat it as a loan from me. The year of our fake marriage will be the interest on the loan. Is that okay with you?"
… …
He had actually wanted to help her settle the million dollars, which was why he had come up with that excuse the other day. After so many days, he hadn't received any response from her, and he had thought that she had rejected his suggestion. When he had received her text just now, he had been so excited that he hadn't expected her to say that the million dollars was a loan. Lu Bancheng stared at Xu Wennuan's message on his cell phone screen for a long time before he gently tapped twice and replied, "Okay."
