Chapter 96 Identity Gap
"Why are you still having fun during the Chinese New Year? Are you still having fun with your parents?" Chu Zixian dared to ask.
"Don't mention it, it's annoying to hear them. You said that Tongtong and I have finally been together, but no one of them opposed it. This is not enough, and that is not enough. I am really convinced." Xiang Xiaodong suddenly complained to Chu Zixian with a frustrated face. Obviously, he was not in a good mood for a while.
"It seems that your mood is not high on the phone because of these things, right?" Chu Zixian asked Xiang Xiaodong.
"Yes, that's all. My parents said I couldn't find a second marriage or something. After finding them, they didn't think of this son. I was speechless because they said they couldn't afford to lose that person. My father knew that the Tongtong family had the ability and rushed me to curry favor with him. Now he wants to save face, so I..." Xiang Xiaodong forced himself to hold back the swear words.
Chu Zixian really wanted to say that Xiang Xiaodong's father was a weirdo, but fortunately he didn't say it. It seemed that Xiang Xiaodong's father really loved face. In order for Xiang Xiaodong not to find a second marriage, he could ignore Li Tong's family background. However, this also has something to do with Xiang Xiaodong's father's age. It may be time to retire soon, and there is not much room for promotion like before, which means that Li Tong's background now has no value in Xiang Xiaodong's father's eyes.
It's really clear...
"What is the attitude of Li Tong's family?" Chu Zixian asked Xiang Xiaodong again.
Xiang Xiaodong sighed deeply when he heard Chu Zixian ask this and said, "Zixian, Wei Qing, I'm not to hide it from you two. Tongtong and I went to Li Tong's house after returning from a National Day trip, but they were seriously despised by Li Tong's parents. Any words they said were full of implications, just looking down on me, thinking that I couldn't give Tongtong happiness. Tongtong was locked up at home by his parents because of this matter. She was asked by her parents to chat with when she played with her mobile phone. I... Alas, I had known that it would be like this today, and I really should have worked hard early. It's really a decadent person... "
Xiang Xiaodong said as he punched his head with his fist, his face full of annoyance and inferiority.
"That means Li Tong's parents rejected you directly? They just don't like you two to be together?" Chu Zixian asked Xiang Xiaodong.
"I didn't say that. Her parents said they could marry Tongtong anyway. First of all, they had to have a suite in Mo and a decent job. At least they couldn't be much worse than Tongtong's." When Xiang Xiaodong said this, he felt powerless.
"It seems that Li Tong's parents are also looking for face, but with Li Tong's family background, they are not making things difficult for you." Wei Qing interrupted.
"Yes, I know that people's requirements are not high, but I don't have it myself." Xiang Xiaodong lowered his head, feeling very inferior and helpless.
"Where is Li Tong? What did she think?" Chu Zixian asked Xiang Xiaodong.
"Of course Tongtong is willing, but now she is locked up at home. Now she can only send a few messages secretly every day when she contacts me." Xiang Xiaodong replied.
"Have you ever thought about elopement?" Chu Zixian asked Xiang Xiaodong.
"Elop?" Xiang Xiaodong nodded and said uncomfortablely: "Tongtong is willing? But I don't want her to live in the darkness? Not blessed by all relatives? I don't have any skills? In fact, Tongtong has not had much money for so many years? She has no job now? I have no job now? How should I live at that time? You can't rely on luck, right?"
Is Xiang Xiaodong's words the truth? If Xiang Xiaodong was in his twenties, he would have been able to elope with Li Tong, but now he really wants to consider the other party in the future? This decision is really a choice that he has no way out.
The three of them fell into a state of silence for a moment? It was Wei Qing who asked Xiang Xiaodong first: "What are you going to do now?"
"I just don't know. In the past two months, I have lost weight every day because of insomnia." Xiang Xiaodong's words made Chu Zixian and Wei Qing laugh.
Then Chu Zixian changed other topics? The three of them talked a little more relaxed. When Chu Zixian and Xiang Xiadong were busy making dinner in the kitchen. Wei Qing played with her cell phone, but she also wandered around Xiang Xiaodong's rental house and found that there were so many fitness equipment in Xiang Xiaodong's bedroom? No wonder Xiang Xiaodong was so thin.
The three of them had dinner happily, chatted for a while, and then planned to leave? Xiang Xiaodong also went downstairs to send them out of the community. Just as the three of them were waiting for the taxi, Xiang Xiaodong suddenly asked Chu Zixian with a serious expression: "Uh... well... Zixian, can I..."
"What?" Chu Zixian stopped talking to Xiang Xiaodong after he heard that he said halfway. He urged him.
"Forget it, it's okay." Xiang Xiaodong said with a smile.
"If you have anything, just say it, don't be polite to me." Chu Zixian looked at Xiang Xiaodong with a little unhappy.
"Hi, it's really okay." When Xiang Xiaodong said this, the taxi was just called. Xiang Xiaodong quickly said to the two of them: "Get on the bus now, the bus is here."
"Okay, call me if you have something to do." Chu Zixian instructed again.
"Sure!" Xiang Xiaodong replied, watching Chu Zixian and Wei Qing's taxi slowly get away from their sight, he sighed deeply, and then a snowflake floated on his pen tip.
Xiang Xiaodong looked up at the sky where Xiaoxue was floating, sighed deeply again, and then dragged his legs home step by step with his back hunched over, as if he was occasionally pulled by a thread.
His rebellious period is a bit long, and the time for growth and enlightenment comes too late...
On a taxi.
Wei Qing asked Chu Zixian: "I feel that Xiang Xiaodong wants to ask you to borrow money."
"I know, but he should still be afraid that I would refuse and dare not speak." Chu Zixian spoke.
"Yes, the houses in the Magic City are not a small number." Wei Qing said that with Li Tong's parents' request, it is impossible to do anything in the suburbs of the Magic City.
"Actually, if he spoke, I could lend it to him." Chu Zixian said.
"Brother's loyalty?" Wei Qing asked Chu Zixian.
"That's right, but to be honest, with the strength of the Li Tong family, it's not difficult to take out the money for a house." Chu Zixian also told the truth.
"Is it still not that I look down on Xiang Xiaodong himself?" Wei Qing heard Chu Zixian's implication.
"The material gap between the two people is too big. Even if Xiaodong has a house, Li Tong's parents will not agree. They also want face, and the requirements for money are not that high." Chu Zixian sighed as he said.
This is actually a matter of identity. Some people may not care about it, but some people attach great importance to these things, especially when the money reaches a certain level.
"Do you want to help?" Wei Qing asked Chu Zixian, but in fact she had already felt Chu Zixian's thoughts.
"What do you think?" Chu Zixian asked Wei Qing.
"I'm still as handsome as I used to be back then. I still remember how you looked when you did push-ups during military training." Wei Qing praised Chu Zixian and said that Chu Zixian always had such charm to attract her.
