Chapter 832: Chapter 832: What You See is Not the Truth
Le Yu watched wide-eyed as his dad closed the door, whimpering.
And standing at the side, Che Qin, who had been brought back to witness Le Yu prove himself but ended up seeing him completely swept out of the house, looked at Le Yu’s unstoppable “sorrow” on his face and offered words of comfort, “It’s okay, it’s okay if we don’t have money, it’s not any worse than before now.”
Upon hearing Che Qin’s voice, Le Yu stiffened.
He had forgotten that Che Qin was there. What would she think of him?
This truly couldn’t be cleared up now!!
“No, Che Qin, listen to me explain, my dad is just trying to scare me. He is not really kicking me out,” Le Yu quickly said.
But Che Qin thought he was just being stubborn and considerately said, “It’s alright, we can live a prosperous life with our own abilities.”
Le Yu fell apart, “What you saw was not the truth.”
Che Qin consoled him, “I understand, don’t be sad.”
Le Yu almost howled in frustration, No, you don’t understand.
Rain started to pour from the night sky, just like Le Yu’s heart at that moment, cold and dreary.
“It’s raining,” Che Qin said worriedly. “Where will you stay tonight?”
Of course he’d stay in a hotel. Le Yu took out his phone and checked his balance: whimper, he couldn’t afford it.
Dad was so cruel.
He fell silent, and so did Che Qin.
In the end, she didn’t ask, preserving his last bit of dignity, and suggested, “How about you make do at my place for tonight? The apartment I rent isn’t big, but it can fit two people.”
Le Yu sighed away his mixed emotions and trailed after Che Qin with his luggage in tow.
The rain continued throughout the night.
The next day, the sky cleared up.
Lin Gantang woke up late as expected, feeling sore and bloated around her thighs and waist, not wanting to get up, so she stayed in bed to reach for her phone on the nightstand.
Wen Yanqing had already gone to work. She heard him say it in her ear while she was still half asleep.
Upon checking, she saw that Le Yu had sent a voice message early in the morning, actually asking her for advice on how to coax his old father?
Discussing family harmony? That didn’t seem like something Le Yu would do. Lin Gantang asked, “Coaxing your dad?”
Le Yu sounded deflated, “Yes, I don’t know what got into my dad’s head, he took everything away and turned me into a pauper again.”
“What happened? Did you make your dad angry?”
“Who knows.” Le Yu recounted last night’s events and said listlessly, “My girlfriend was even there at the time, it was so embarrassing.”
“Oh my, you met her parents that quickly.”
“Don’t even go there, I suspect my dad was so focused on kicking me out that he didn’t even notice her.” Le Yu complained pitifully, “In the dead of night, I didn’t even have the money for a hotel.”
Lin Gantang sent over a humanitarian concern, “Out of money? Should I lend you some?”
“Forget it, I’ll get my salary in a few days. I won’t starve to death.” Le Yu was a bit frantic, “Now it’s great, my girlfriend had already pegged me as a penniless pauper, and now she’s even more certain of it. So embarrassing!”
“Cut it out, if she’s willing to be with you when you’re broke, what a good girl. You should be grinning. She doesn’t care about your money, what do you have to lose face over?”
Le Yu’s mood, which had been down all morning, gradually picked up, it made sense, didn’t it?
He perked up and started to tease himself, “Thinking back on last night, I feel like I must be cursed with some bad luck.”
Always experiencing social death at critical moments, countless times!
Lin Gantang gave a suggestion, “How about consulting a disaster-dispelling master?”
“Is that stuff reliable?” Le Yu didn’t believe it.
With no belief but no options, Lin Gantang asked, “So where are you staying now?”
“I’m staying at my girlfriend’s rented apartment.”
Lin Gantang teased, “Yo, you’ve moved in together.”
Le Yu: ?
Le Yu: !
The truth woke him like a splash of cold water.
Moving in together meant they could hug and cuddle. Was everything progressing so smoothly? From a different angle, was his dad actually being a wingman?
All of a sudden, Le Yu felt reinvigorated.
