Chapter 693 Gu Yunfan, there are so many men in the world, I
get engaged. Not long ago, when he hugged her, Wen Man was overcome with emotion and called out, "Shaoting."Now, she awkwardly called him Mr. Huo again.These three words, at this moment, sound incredi...After Gu Yunfan finished speaking, Cheng Lü's face turned pale, and his lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but Gu Yunfan had already hung up the phone.
Cheng Lu felt a sudden dizziness.
He held his phone for a while, then sent a WeChat message to Li Siqi, wanting to talk to her.
I didn't expect Li Siqi to have deleted him.
He applied to join, but he sat there for 10 minutes or so and Li Siqi never approved his request!
Cheng Lü was a little embarrassed.
Can she really think so little of herself He proposed a breakup last night on a whim, but this morning he already regrets it. She can't... she can't just not give him another chance.
Cheng Lü's mind was racing, and she decided to go talk to Li Siqi after work.
When having breakfast, Mother Cheng saw her son's listless appearance and couldn't help but say angrily, "Others look refreshed when they are in love, but you don't seem to be cared for even after dating a girlfriend!"
Cheng Lu smiled helplessly: "Mom, we're all adults, there's no question of who takes care of whom."
Cheng's mother disagreed: "You're a doctor, she only attended a small training course. She has much more free time than you and doesn't earn as much either. Shouldn't she take care of you Mom, let me tell you, when you get back, have her learn to make our northern-style noodles. Don't spoil her; she won't learn anything if you do. We didn't marry a wife to be a housewife."
Cheng Lü didn't tell his mother about their breakup.
He mumbled, "She'll definitely learn after we get married."
Then Mother Cheng felt a little relieved and added, “Anyway, you mustn’t become someone who is constantly targeted.”
Cheng Lü only smiled wryly.
……
Cheng Lü didn't expect his mother to run into Li Siqi and her daughter, and cause a ruckus.
In the morning, Li Siqi had no classes, so she wanted to accompany her mother for shopping. She planned to tell her mother about her breakup with Cheng Lü when her mood was good.
When Li Mu was trying on clothes, Li Siqi happened to go out to answer a phone call.
Cheng Lü's parents happened to stroll over and saw Li Siqi walking closely with a middle-aged woman. At a glance, they knew they were mother and daughter. Cheng's mother felt uncomfortable in her heart. She whispered to Cheng's father beside her: "I heard that their family went bankrupt. They have been dating for so long and there is no sign of the two families meeting each other. Do you think she doesn't want to give a dowry, so she deliberately drags our Cheng Lü"
Father Cheng let out a light cough: “You're overthinking it!”
The more Mother Cheng thought about it, the angrier she became: "I have to make it clear to their family, otherwise, if we don't give out a single cent as dowry, our Cheng Lü will be at a loss."
Although Cheng's father was not satisfied with Li Siqi, he also felt that this was inappropriate.
But he couldn't stop Mother Cheng.
< Cheng mother walked into the shop, smiling but with a hidden dagger: "It's Li Siqi's mother!" >
Li Siqi's mother was trying on clothes. In the past, she had been a wealthy socialite, and although she was more frugal now, some of her old habits were hard to break. She spoke softly and politely to the sales assistant, telling her where adjustments needed to be made... Mother Cheng's sudden appearance startled her.
"Mother Cheng smiled again, "I'm Cheng Lü's mother! Aren't the two children dating I happened to meet them and came over to say hello... There's a coffee shop across the street. How about we sit down and talk"
Li Mu suddenly understood.
She didn't know about the breakup between Li Siqi and Cheng Lü, so she enthusiastically agreed: "Siqi told me you went north but we never had a chance to meet. It's a coincidence that we bumped into each other today."
Cheng's mother held her hand and went to drink coffee affectionately.
Li Mu then sent a message to Li Siqi, telling her that she and Cheng Lü's parents were in the cafe across the street...
A few people sat down.
"Mrs. Cheng looked at Mrs. Li's attire and couldn't help but smile gracefully, stroking her hair: 'Mrs. Li Siqi, it's like this. Our son, Dr. Cheng Lu, graduated from medical school. In the past two years, our family has scrimped and saved to pay 4 million yuan for a down payment on an apartment in City B... You know Mrs. Li Siqi, with a house, a car, and being a doctor, our son Cheng Lu is not worried about finding a partner. Now he's gotten along well with Miss Li Siqi. My husband and I have discussed it, and we think that asking for 4 million yuan as dowry seems a bit unkind. However, it can't be less than 2 million. This money isn't what we want; it's mainly for their startup capital as a young family. They'll also have savings to use when they have children.' "
She finished speaking, her eyes fixed on Li's mother.
Li's mother kept silent. Cheng Lü's mother couldn't help adding, "If there isn't even a single piece of dowry, she would be looked down upon."
Li's mother was furious.
She suppressed her anger and said, "Siqi's dowry will definitely be there, and it won't make people look down on her..."
Before he could speak, his hand was seized.
"Mom!"
Li Siqi gently held her mother's hand, she could feel her mother's hand trembling with anger. She had also heard what was said just now. Don't even mention her mother, she herself was incredibly grateful that she broke up with Cheng Lü now.
Such a person, anyone who marries into the family will not have an easy time.
Li Siqi raised her eyes to look at Cheng Lü's parents. She smiled faintly: "I'm sorry, two of you! You may not know that Cheng Lü and I have already broken up. There will be no dowry in the future, and no one will look down on anyone."
Cheng Lü's parents were stunned, and Li's mother was also surprised.
Mother Cheng was extremely embarrassed. She sneered, "My son Cheng Lü has such good conditions, I don't believe you would be willing to give him up."
Li Siqi smiled a little less brightly: “Cheng Lü's conditions are very good, I think he doesn't lack for partners! In short, we broke up!”
She glanced at the desktop, then paid for Li Mu's coffee. As for Cheng Lü's parents, she ignored them.
Mother Cheng was furious.
Li Siqi ignored her and, with her mother, left. In the car, Li's mother clutched her hand and asked, "What happened You two were getting along so well. How could you break up"
Li Siqi talked about wanting to have a son, and also about Cheng Lü and Huang Yuanyuan.
Though Li's mother hoped for her daughter to marry, seeing how unreasonable Mrs. Cheng had been earlier, she felt sympathy for her: "You wouldn't think Cheng Lü looked so cultured! It's unbelievable that his parents are like this! They haven't even formally met, and they're already asking for a dowry from the bride. I've never heard of such a thing."
Li Siqi remained silent.
Li's mother cursed a few more times, then looked at her daughter's face. She suddenly asked, "Don't you... actually dislike Cheng Lü"
Li Siqi was stunned for a moment, then softly said: "I was serious about dating him, but we weren't compatible."
Li's mother did not pursue the matter further.
She actually knows her daughter's mind, she's truly worried that Siqi will rekindle her old feelings with that old geezer Gu Yunfan. She also saw through that man's shameless face that night. As the saying goes, a virtuous woman fears a persistent suitor, and even more so, she fears that Gu Yunfan won't give up.
Li Siqi sent her mother home.
She had been busy all afternoon, and by the time she got home it was close to eight. As she reached for her car door handle, Cheng Lü walked over and took her hand. "Siqi," he said, "let's talk."
Li Siqi hesitated for a moment.
She looked up at him, her gaze placid. Cheng Lü was taken aback for a moment.
He didn't spend much time with Li Siqi. Although there wasn't a passionate romance, things were good when they were good. She looked at him with tenderness sometimes, unlike now, so cold and distant, like she was looking at a stranger.
Cheng Lü put on a humble demeanor: “Sīqí, let's talk this through, okay”
Li Siqi knew that if she didn't make things clear, he wouldn't let her go. She simply shut the car door.like it"Wen Man's face was almost buried in the roses, her voice unusually sweet and alluring: "I like it."No woman dislikes receiving flowers from a man.Ho Shao-ting smiled faintly.He closed the car...
