When Xiao Rongyu saw Ye Qingyang angry, she immediately started to cry again and stopped eating out of anger.
"Hey, what's wrong? Why don't you just say a few words to me?"
Ye Qingyang was also funny, there was nothing wrong with what he said.
"I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with myself. They forced me to drop out of school and get married when I was in high school! If I didn't agree, they beat me and scolded me. If it hadn't been for my uncle, I might still be here In that dark family."
Xiao Rongyu buried her head in her arms, her body twitching as she cried.
"Ah? What's going on?"
Ye Qingyang was shocked when he heard this and quickly stood up and took Xiao Rongyu into his arms.
Xiao Rongyu lives in a small county below Jinling City. The county is adjacent to a mountainous area. Although it is a wealthy area, there are still poor people in even richest places.
Xiao Rongyu's family is a poor household.
My mother is a typical rural woman with little education and prefers sons over daughters. Because her mother has three brothers, she has not been favored since she was a child, so she is determined to have a son.
However, her stomach failed to live up to expectations, so she gave birth to Xiao Rongyu as her first child. Then in the following years, she was pregnant with girls, all of whom were aborted by Xiao Rongyu's mother.
"Raising children to protect them from old age" means sons are reliable, while daughters are just water thrown away. Sooner or later, they will marry someone else and become a member of someone else's family. It wasn't until the birth of his younger brother Xiao Feiyu that the Xiao family stopped aborting abortions. According to incomplete statistics, Xiao Rongyu's mother had aborted eight immortals in total!
That is to say, Xiao Rongyu's mother was in good health, but anyone else would have died a long time ago.
So as soon as Xiao Feiyu was born, he was pampered and pampered since he was a child. He would give him whatever he asked for. If Xiao Rongyu said one more thing, he would be spoiled.
If the family's conditions were decent, then forget it, but Xiao Rongyu's mother had been pregnant and had miscarriages all year round, which made her physically unable to do heavy work. The family's source of income relied entirely on Xiao Rongyu's father, Xiao Jibo.
But Xiao Jibo has a hobby, which is playing cards. He himself often said that small gambling is a pleasure.
As the saying goes, nine times out of ten you lose when you bet, so while the surrounding neighbors all live in square meters and cement houses, Xiao Rongyu's home is still a small mud house.
Whenever it rains or winds, it rains heavily outside and light rain inside.
What Xiao Rongyu remembers most when she was a child is scraping water outside with a washbasin with her parents, which lasted all night.
Children of poor people have long been in charge of the family, and Xiao Rongyu, who is not popular at home, is also very sensitive.
The poverty, embarrassment, and low family status in life made Xiao Rongyu, who had been setting up a stall selling small commodities with her mother since she was a child, mature quickly.
Whenever she comes home from school, Xiao Rongyu will follow her mother to set up a stall until late at night.
In the darkness, Xiao Rongyu, who was so tired that her back ached, gritted her teeth more than once and told herself that she must study hard, go to college, and change this future with no hope in her life.
Maybe it’s diligence, maybe it’s maturity, but more importantly, it’s talent. Xiao Rongyu has never been second in studies.
This continued into high school.
That year, when she was 16 years old, her parents brought a man home without her knowledge.
He said that the man was willing to pay 100,000 yuan as a dowry to marry him.
That time, Xiao Rongyu really gave up on her parents. She didn't expect that her parents would sell her for 100,000 yuan!
The man was nearly 30 years old. He used to be a bachelor in the village. He traveled around by reselling clothes and made a lot of money.
Xiao Rongyu was already mature and graceful at that time, and she could be considered a school beauty even in online novels.
Men have naturally played with women outside a lot, but they have never played with a girl like Xiao Rongyu, who has a handsome appearance, elegant temperament, skin as white as milk, and a slender figure.
For this kind of girl, even in a nightclub, the service fee will not be less than 10,000.
What's more, in the eyes of men, a girl like Xiao Rongyu must still have the original packaging, unopened, and she is so beautiful. For 100,000 yuan, it is really a big profit.
In the end, Xiao Rongyu threatened to die and ran away from home. Fortunately, his uncle rescued him.
During the next three years of high school, Xiao Rongyu worked hard while studying and studying, completely cutting off contact with her original family.
Then I applied for a scholarship to Culver University in New York during the college entrance examination, and then I traveled across the ocean to New York, where I stayed until now.
After listening to Xiao Rongyu's story, Ye Qingyang opened his hands in distress.
"Come on, brother, give me a hug—"
"Pfft—"
Xiao Rongyu rolled her eyes at him angrily, and the sad atmosphere just now dissipated a lot.
"That's right, why do you think so much about happy days? The pain of the past will be gone forever, and your future will be bright!"
Ye Qingyang stood up and opened the curtains covering the window.
With a panoramic view of the night view of New York, Xiao Rongyu also stood up and walked to his side.
"I never thought that I could stand so high and enjoy the most prosperous night in the world with the people I like."
"With such a beautiful scenery and such an appropriate time, shouldn't we do something appropriate to the occasion?"
Ye Qingyang turned around, looked at Xiao Rongyu's pretty face and said.
Xiao Rongyu twisted her body, pouted her mouth, and gave Ye Qingyang a dirty look.
Probably because of the red wine, Xiao Rongyu's fair face was flushed at this time, her face was rosy, her expression was cute and innocent, she could be angry or happy.
Ye Qingyang only felt that his blood circulation was accelerating, and his heartbeat slowly increased from 80 to 120. If he was wearing a bracelet that detects heartbeat, Ye Qingyang would be able to sense that he was about to transform.
He stared at Xiao Rongyu's blurred eyes
"Miss, can I invite you to dance?"
Xiao Rongyu smiled slightly, generous and free, and raised her right hand
"Of course! It's just that my skills are not very good and I might step on your toes."
"It's okay, we can take off our shoes so it won't hurt."
Ye Qingyang picked up Xiao Rongyu from the waist, placed him on the sofa, and took off his shoes along Xiao Rongyu's thighs that were not covered with any stockings.
"itch-"
Xiao Rongyu couldn't help biting her lower lip. Ye Qingyang's fingers just brushed the soles of her feet, making her feel itchy.
"Dear Madam, please—"
Ye Qingyang bent down slightly, put his left hand behind his back, and stretched out his right hand towards Xiao Rongyu.
In the center of the living room covered with velvet carpet, Ye Qingyang held Xiao Rongyu's little hand with one hand and held her soft and slender waist with the other. There was no music, but the two of them looked at each other, feeling that the whole world was their stage.
