"broke up!?"
On the other end of the phone, Father Lin's volume obviously doubled.
It could be heard that he was very shocked.
Before Lin Shoujie could explain, Lin's father hurriedly asked loudly: "Are you kidding me? Are you sure it's a breakup and not just a quarrel?"
Father Lin really couldn't believe his ears, after all, everything was too sudden.
What's more, both parents have always been very supportive of their relationship and have given a lot of support in life. They treat them as their future daughter-in-law and son-in-law.
In addition, Lin Shoujie and Xu Mengmeng have lived together for so many years. It is really unreasonable to break up now. No matter who proposes this idea, it will affect the relationship between both parents for many years.
Just thinking about this is already giving me quite a headache.
Hearing his father's words, Lin Shoujie couldn't help but fell silent. He also thought about these issues in the year before they broke up, but...
"Sorry dad... we really broke up... I can't stand her anymore..."
"..."
This time it was Father Lin's turn to be silent for a long time.
Although since Lin Shoujie and Xu Mengmeng lived together, he had less contact with Lin Shoujie.
But this was the first time he saw Lin Shoujie say such words. The simple words were full of exhaustion.
After a long time, Father Lin adjusted his mentality, regained his composure, and asked in a complicated tone: "What happened?"
Lin Shoujie hesitated.
He didn't know if he should tell his father the truth about everything.
After all, he was worried that after hearing this, his father would think that Xu Mengmeng was doing it for his own good, just like most parents hope that their children can learn more skills.
But if not, what else could he say? Making up lies
Lin Shoujie didn't want to lie about this matter.
From this point of view, perhaps we can only pick out some of Xu Mengmeng’s shortcomings...
Thinking of this, Lin Shoujie began to recall Xu Mengmeng's shortcomings in his mind...
A few minutes later, he discovered to his despair that apart from being strict with her boyfriend, Xu Mengmeng didn't seem to have any particularly serious shortcomings that warranted breaking up...
On the contrary, she has too many advantages that other girls do not have, including but not limited to hard work, hard work, self-discipline, good study, good looks, perfect figure, a wealthy family, an only child, especially polite to her elders, etc.
There are countless advantages to please your parents' generation, not to mention that your own father is very aware of these.
The most important thing is... Xu Mengmeng has always liked him... to the point where he can't help himself... Lin Shoujie knew without even thinking about it that this would definitely make his parents soften and teach him a lesson in turn. ...
Just thinking about this scene, Lin Shoujie felt that he had no way out.
Maybe the only hope is...
"She would often quarrel with me... lose her temper with me... and then cry and fuss... I almost collapsed from her torment."
Lin Shoujie had no choice but to recount what happened a year ago.
He suddenly felt a little regretful. Why had he made such an idiotic plan to spoil Xu Mengmeng for a year? I can't find any good excuse now.
If this were to be investigated, the parents of both parties might think that he suddenly and inexplicably broke up with her and then started dating other women.
You may even misunderstand that he is cheating or something...
Fortunately, Xu Mengmeng is not the kind of girl who slanders others. If her parents ask this, she will probably explain it clearly to him...
So why did you make such a stupid plan
Oh... By the way... Lin Shoujie suddenly thought of what happened before.
If she hadn't done this, Xu Mengmeng would have been unable to accept the fact of the breakup and might have chosen to harm herself or even commit suicide.
Only by giving her hope like now, letting her experience beauty, and not finding a source of venting, can she not do stupid things.
But... there should be other ways... Lin Shoujie felt inexplicably sad.
He hated himself for being stupid and failing to find the best solution, which finally led him to this point.
At this moment, he was struggling, and there was no room for regret.
Fortunately, his father finally stood by his side at this moment.
Hearing Lin Shoujie's words, Lin's father asked helplessly: "Why is this happening? I remember Mengmeng is not that kind of person? Are you okay now?"
Lin Shoujie had never lied to him, so Father Lin believed that Lin Shoujie was serious when he said he was about to collapse.
"I'm fine now. I feel relaxed after breaking up with Mengmeng." Lin Shoujie flashed Ye Bingtang's figure in his mind, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
Father Lin fell into silence again. After a while, he sighed and said, "To be honest, dad, I don't suggest you break up with her at all. Why don't you think about it yourself?"
"Dad... I've been thinking about it for more than a year..." The smile on Lin Shoujie's face gradually turned bitter.
On the other end of the phone, Father Lin frowned, "Have you been arguing for so long?"
"Well... we have been arguing for a long time, but you don't know it. Mengmeng's mother should know better, because Mengmeng lost her temper several times before and ran home."
"That's it, then what are you arguing about? If it's just a little bit..."
"No, she is the kind of person who wants to argue with me about anything and is unreasonable. If I don't follow her, she will make trouble."
"..."
After hearing Lin Shoujie's words, Lin's father didn't know what to say for a moment.
Lin Shoujie had already foreseen what he would think next, so he spoke in advance: "It's not that I didn't plan to teach her not to do that, but she wouldn't listen to me at all. The more I taught her, the more she felt that I didn't pamper her. ...So I really have no choice but to be very disappointed with her."
This time, Lin's father was completely speechless. He was silent for a long time, and finally he could only stop the topic and asked with some worry: "Do Mengmeng's parents know that you broke up?"
"You shouldn't know, right? I guess Mengmeng won't tell her parents." Lin Shoujie guessed.
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and then asked his father: "By the way, what did you talk to Mengmeng's father today? What was her father's reaction?"
"We didn't talk about anything. We just planned to go to my hometown together for a few days. I didn't talk about the two of you." Father Lin said truthfully.
Lin Shoujie couldn't help but nodded slightly, and then said with certainty: "Then I probably don't know. Mengmeng didn't tell them."
"..." Father Lin was silent again, and then said with a headache: "Well, even if you don't know now, you will be discovered sooner or later. Since Mengmeng doesn't want to say it, he may still have feelings for you. Right? Can't you get along with her a little more? We've been together for so many years... We should have gotten married in two or three years."
"Dad... We have completely broken up now. It's useless no matter how much we talk. Some things can't be done over." Lin Shoujie's mood became a little low, and he could feel his father's embarrassment.
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. What should we do now? Her parents are coming over soon, and Mengmeng might be there too. You have to come back." Father Lin warned in a serious tone.
"...Okay, I'll go back now."
Lin Shoujie still compromised. After all, his parents had always been very good to him and were very qualified parents, so he couldn't be an unqualified child.
As the phone hung up, Lin Shoujie sighed, and after dispelling all the annoyance in his heart, he returned to the Internet cafe box.
"Oh! Brother Jie is back, the hotel has been booked, let's go!"
As soon as they entered the door, Liang Hao came over with a smile on his face. Ye Bingtang and Su Muhong were also ready and were about to go out together.
However, facing their gazes, Lin Shoujie could only say apologetically: "Sorry, I can't go today. My parents asked me to go home because they asked me to go home."
After the words fell, everyone was stunned. After Liang Hao reacted, he said loudly and painfully: "No, Sir, is it such a coincidence? Can your parents be accommodating and go back after eating?"
"...No, brother, they just asked me to go back for dinner. Several important guests came to the house..." Lin Shoujie gave Liang Hao a look, and Liang Hao reacted instantly, and then fell into silence.
Ye Bingtang and Su Muhong next to them were very confused, but Ye Bingtang was more confused.
Seeing that the atmosphere calmed down, Lin Shoujie smiled and said, "Just go and I'll come back next time. There will be more opportunities."
"Okay, I'll do it next time." Liang Hao took the topic.
At this time, Ye Bingtang couldn't hold it any longer, but before she could speak, Lin Shoujie had already taken her hand, "Come here with me, and I'll tell you something."
"Eh? Well, okay~" Ye Bingtang was stunned for a moment, and then obediently followed him out of the box.
Watching the two people leaving, Su Muhong couldn't help but ask Liang Hao: "What's wrong with Ajie? You seem to know something, right?"
"It's not very clear, but I guess his ex-girlfriend's family went to his house." Liang Hao said in a subtle tone. He still knew some family information about Lin Shoujie and Xu Mengmeng.
Su Muhong was a little surprised when she heard what he said.
My ex-girlfriend’s parents came to visit
Then this might turn into a family drama.
... ...
... ...
... ...
"What's wrong, brother? What happened?"
As soon as he walked out of the room, Ye Bingtang frowned and looked at Lin Shoujie worriedly.
"Well..." Lin Shoujie responded in a low voice, and then turned his head to look at Ye Bingtang with complicated eyes, "Mengmeng's parents are visiting my house tonight, so I have to go back. I don't know if I have been with you before. As I said, my parents and her parents are fellow villagers and very good friends."
"Eh... I see, then if you are in a hurry, go quickly~ I'm fine." Ye Bingtang showed a cute smile, with no trace of mind or unnecessary worry on his pretty face.
Lin Shoujie felt that she should be worried. After all, those were Xu Mengmeng's parents, and maybe Xu Mengmeng would be there.
