Chen Manman successfully made an appointment with Li Haoxuan.

Knowing that the other party was a noblewoman from Beijing, Li Haoxuan was attentive and attentive.

But when I heard the other party say that he would help me arrange an appointment for Bai Xiaowei to a construction site being developed on the outskirts of the city, I hesitated slightly.

"Who are you? What's the problem with Bai Xiaowei?"

Seeing Li Haoxuan's wary eyes, Chen Manman hid the jealousy in her eyes and smiled arrogantly: "Why are you nervous? She and I were junior high school classmates. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I want to catch up with her."

Didn't it mean that the relationship between Bai Xiaowei and her ex-husband's family was very tense? Now it seems that her ex-husband is still protective of her.

Although he is only a lawyer in a small county town, he looks good and is young. It is said that he and Bai Xiaowei are classmates. How could Bai Xiaowei be worthy of such a man?

"Reminiscing about old times at the construction site on the outskirts of the city?"

Li Haoxuan sneered: "Do I look that stupid? Miss Chen can't make up a decent excuse?"

Chen Manman gritted her teeth. With such a noble status, she was already giving him face by condescending herself to talk to Li Haoxuan, but he was still ungrateful.

"As long as you invite Bai Xiaowei over, I will give you 2 yuan, and also promise to help you when you go to Beijing to develop in the future."

Hearing Chen Manman's conditions, Li Haoxuan, who had already stood up to leave, paused.

2 yuan doesn't have much appeal to him, but to develop in Beijing...

Just yesterday afternoon, he and Su Yixing had a falling out.

Su Yixing asked him why he betrayed Bai Xiaowei and allowed his mother to hurt Bai Xiaowei. He thought Su Yixing was nosy, and the two had a quarrel. The friendship in the past was broken up, and he lost his heart to develop in Haicheng.

Just when he was at a loss what to do, a wealthy lady from Beijing suddenly appeared and said she would help him, then...

However, the professional sensitivity he had developed over the years made him vaguely guess that what Miss Chen asked him to do was probably not a good thing, and might even cause him to get angry.

Is it to seek wealth and wealth in danger, or to be a husband and wife?

Li Haoxuan was hesitant...

......

After the food was over, Su Yixing put down his chopsticks.

"The workmanship is good." He praised it sincerely.

"It's just home-cooked food. If you like it, I'll have the opportunity to cook you other dishes."

Bai Xiaowei looked at the little food left... and now to trouble him... Well, no, it shouldn't be inappropriate to answer Yixing's question just now.

Su Yixing was not dazzled by joy. Bai Xiaowei's rejection was so clear that he could not deceive himself.

"Can you answer the question I just asked now?"

Since he took the initiative to ask, Bai Xiaowei put down her entanglement and nodded seriously.

"Yixing, how is your relationship with your parents?"

Su Yixing frowned: "You didn't answer my question."

Bai Xiaowei was very patient, as if she was trying to wake up someone who was pretending to be asleep.

"I'll answer your question later. You tell me first, how is your relationship with your parents?"

Without waiting for Su Yixing to answer, she gave the answer: "You are the only child in the family. You should be valued by your parents. I think you have a good relationship with them, right?"

After listening to her words, Su Yixing quickly thought of Li Haoxuan's family. Could it be that Xiaowei was afraid of a mother's baby like Li Haoxuan and didn't want to make the same mistake again?

After thinking quickly, he gave the answer: "Indeed, I have a very good relationship with my parents. They are both very good people."

Speaking of his parents, he expressed a soft expression: "My parents have a very good relationship. After giving birth to me, my father couldn't bear my mother to suffer anymore, so they didn't have any more children."

He looked at Bai Xiaowei with a serious expression: "I envy the love of my parents. Therefore, since I was a child, I have thought that when I have a wife, I will respect her, love her, and treat her wholeheartedly like my father did."

Su Yixing's words not only showed that his family was harmonious, but also expressed his feelings to Bai Xiaowei.

On a deeper level, his parents are loving and will not focus on dealing with their daughter-in-law. He is not a mama's baby, but a good man who loves his wife.

Bai Xiaowei understood and gave him a faint smile.

"Do you know why I kept participating in debate competitions in college?"

Two unrelated questions made Su Yixing frown again.

This time, he failed to understand the deeper meaning of Bai Xiaowei's words.

"Because you like it?"

Su Yixing guessed: "I have watched several debates in which you participated. Your views are clear, your logic is strict, your responses are quick, and your responses are strong."

Final summary: "Very exciting."

His generous praise made Bai Xiaowei a little embarrassed. She shook her head and said with a smile, "That's ridiculous. It's not that good."

"If I tell you that I only participate in debates to get bonuses, and that in every debate I bring 70% utilitarianism and 30% false enthusiasm, will your filter on me be shattered?"

Su Yixing was stunned. He didn't expect her to answer like this. He subconsciously retorted: "It's impossible."

Bai Xiaowei smiled: "Why is it impossible?"

Su Yixing tried his best to find evidence to overturn her statement: "I know from the classmates who competed together that you work harder than everyone else. They sleep for four hours, and you only sleep for two hours. They look for ten arguments, and you look for ten. Two, fifteen... They also said, you work harder than everyone else, and debate is your life..."

"Also, whenever your teammates can't survive, it's you who cheers them up..."

He looked at Bai Xiaowei earnestly: "Am I right?"

Bai Xiaowei nodded and shook her head: "Yes and no."

"I encourage my teammates not to give up. I help them think of arguments. I work hard to win. These are all facts, but it is not because I regard debate as my life, but as a tool to make money."

"Whether it's a single or a team competition, only the first place will get the most generous prizes."

She smiled coldly: "For me at that time, money was my life. Without money, I couldn't even go to school. I could only do as Chen Manman wished, return to the small mountain village and find someone to marry. , have a lot of children, raise chickens and feed pigs for the rest of their lives. Or go out to work, have no education, do the most tiring work, and get the lowest wages."

Su Yixing was shocked and murmured: "Then why... why..."

Bai Xiaowei caught his words: "Why didn't I ask you for help?"

She laughed at herself: "With your feelings for me, whenever I ask, you will definitely not be stingy. In this way, I won't have to live so hard, right?"

Su Yixing's voice trembled: "Yes, as long as you speak..."

His heart felt like being pricked by needles, densely aching, and he couldn't tell whether it was because he felt more regret or guilt.

Only then did he truly realize how difficult her journey was.

It's a pity that he is so slow and careless. He claimed to love her to the core, but he never thought about how she got to where she is now after losing her only support and struggling to survive like an orphan.

He only saw her arrogant and dazzling in the debate, but he didn't expect that everything she did was just to survive.

When he was heartbroken because he wanted nothing, what she was thinking about was how to make more money to maintain her studies and life.

He actually... never thought of lending a helping hand to her...

"Yixing, that's not the case. I can't do this."

Seeing his dejected and regretful face, as if he had lost all energy, Bai Xiaowei reached out and patted the back of his hand gently.

"I have known your thoughts for a long time and cherish them. Therefore, I cannot speak to you."
