Chapter 179 A Kind Girl!
"Chen Ming, don't be so naive. Have you thought about what you'll do if you can't afford a house?"
"Even if you go to a construction site, and add up your internship salary at the hotel, it will only amount to five or six thousand yuan!"
"Buying a house in Tianzhou is simply unrealistic; we can't even afford the down payment!"
“I don’t want you to work on a construction site either. It’s a very low-class job. If my family finds out, they definitely won’t agree to the marriage.”
Chen Ming looked embarrassed after hearing this.
The excitement cooled instantly, turning into silence.
He didn't know how to answer.
Because he worked himself to the bone to earn money, and that was the limit of his ability.
Li Yaoyao looked disappointed and gritted her teeth, saying, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Is silence your attitude?
Chen Ming seemed to have anticipated something.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on Li Yaoyao, and said in a very sincere tone, "Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it your way."
"As long as we're still together, I'll work hard to give you everything you want!"
Li Yaoyao shook her head and said, "That's enough. What's the point of all this empty talk?"
“Every time the future is brought up, you either dodge the topic or give a perfunctory answer!”
"I don't want you to still be like this after graduation!"
"He has no ambition whatsoever, doesn't want to strive for advancement, and always thinks about doing hard labor on construction sites. What kind of future does he have!"
She had already seen the humility in Chen Ming.
This poverty, stemming from her impoverished family background, made her realize the gap between herself and others.
There is absolutely no future in Chen Ming.
"Chen Ming, did you see that clearly?"
"You can never give me what I want. You're a man, yet you have no opinions of your own!"
"You had excellent grades in high school, but you became so ordinary in college!"
"I really can't imagine that after graduation you'll end up working on a construction site. If I'm still dating you, and my family, friends, and relatives find out, where will I put my face!"
"I've come to see you today because I have two things to say—"
"Firstly, I've already found my future career path; my father will arrange for me to work at Dafeng Group Real Estate!"
"I just need to work hard to get a permanent position. Once I've built up my network, my father plans to invest in me to start a building materials company!"
When Chen Ming heard Li Yaoyao mention the job her family had arranged for her, he couldn't help but feel excited.
I'm genuinely happy for her.
But when Chen Ming heard that she was going to work for Dafa Group, he couldn't help but tremble.
Dafa Group!
It's the construction site where I work!
That company with safety hazards is a cancerous group!
That is, the group company that Brother Tao and the others who threatened him just now belong to!
Judging from Brother Tao and others, it's clear that Dafeng Group is definitely not as simple as it seems; it's not a legitimate real estate company at all—it's incredibly shady!
If Yao Yao were to work for a company like that...
No, absolutely not!
This is a huge melting pot!
Chen Ming wanted to speak up and offer some advice, but he had only just opened his mouth when...
Li Yaoyao looked up and suddenly asked seriously, "The second thing is something I want to ask you, and you must tell me the truth."
"Gudu——"
Chen Ming's throat moved slightly.
I had a bad feeling.
Anxiety suddenly overwhelmed my heart.
Li Yaoyao narrowed her eyes and said seriously, word by word, "Chen Ming, you're clearly working part-time to support yourself! Why are you always broke? Where did all your money go?"
“You worked outside throughout your university years.”
"But why is it that you never have any money on you when you go out on dates?"
"They embarrass me in every way, making me lose face in front of my sisters and classmates. I want to know why!"
"You must tell me the truth today!"
Now that this issue had come up, Chen Ming knew he shouldn't hide it any longer.
His lips trembled slightly, and he said with difficulty, "Yaoyao, to tell you the truth... I've been paying off my second brother's debts all along!"
"Perhaps you've already heard about it from others..."
“My family was never well-off. My parents are old and don’t earn much money.”
"Unfortunately, my second brother got into gambling, lost a lot of money, and accumulated a lot of debt..."
“Our whole family is doing our best to help my second brother pay off his debts.”
"Even my eldest sister got divorced because of my second brother's debts."
"As the third child in my family, all I can do is try my best to earn money and ease the burden on my parents..."
When Chen Ming said this, his heart felt as if it were being stabbed with a knife and was bleeding.
After saying these words, he collapsed onto the bed, as if all his strength had been drained away.
Even when he was brutally beaten by seven or eight people just now, he didn't utter a sound or even blink.
At this moment, his heart was trembling when he faced Li Yaoyao.
Gambling is a bottomless pit.
No one can tolerate it.
No one would tolerate their boyfriend having a gambler in his family!
It took him a great deal of courage to speak out about this fact.
"Chen Ming, you bastard!"
"Why didn't you tell me about something this serious sooner!"
Li Yaoyao suddenly stood up and hysterically questioned him.
Chen Ming turned his head away, tears streaming from his eyes.
He clutched the confidentiality agreement tightly in his hand.
"Chen Ming, you hid this from me, you lied to me!"
"You have a gambling older brother, that's a bottomless pit!"
"With your limited abilities, do you think you can help? You're not a god, you're just an ordinary person!"
"You've been eating nothing but steamed buns every day to help a gambler pay off his debts, and you're already malnourished."
"You secretly went to sell your blood several times, then went to work on construction sites, and fainted multiple times. Do you think I didn't know about this?"
"If you continue like this, then let's stop talking. I don't want to be dragged down by you."
At this point, Li Yaoyao stood up angrily.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ming was heartbroken, but even though his heart was breaking, he did not try to stop him.
We spent four years of university together.
Shared values.
Their love is sweet.
There are so many memories.
Neither of them did anything wrong.
They could have worked hard to find jobs after graduation, dreamed of building a home for their future families.
But when facing reality.
All the beauty and dreams were shattered.
Chen Ming felt from the bottom of his heart that he was not worthy.
He didn't want to really drag Li Yaoyao down.
"Sorry……"
"But I can't abandon my second brother..."
When Chen Ming said this, he almost buried his head between his legs.
He knew what would happen after he said those words.
The girl he loves most will leave him.
But he was powerless to do anything about it.
"I've waited for you for so long, and all you're doing is telling me I'm sorry?"
“Every time we go out to eat with my girlfriends and you can’t pay the bill, when have I ever embarrassed you?”
"I personally disciplined my sisters for talking badly about you behind your back!"
"I'm not a materialistic woman, nor do I want you to become outstanding and bring me any glory. I just think that having a second brother like this is a bottomless pit; he will ruin your life!"
"I only said those things to provoke you, but in the end, all you did was apologize and prepare to break up with me..."
"This is a sign of weakness and incompetence! Are you even a man?!"
Suddenly, Li Yaoyao rushed in front of Chen Ming.
He grabbed Chen Ming.
But then it gently loosened its grip.
She saw the injury on Chen Ming's leg.
I felt incredibly heartbroken.
Upon hearing Li Yaoyao's words, Chen Ming slowly raised his head and wiped away his tears.
