Chapter 592 - 213: "Escort" Li Yuan, Xia Zhijin’s Shortcomings_3
In the past few days, during his occasional chats with Xu Zhi, Li Yuan heard him constantly complaining about how Wang Yuchen had grown indifferent. Their relationship, which had once been on the verge of becoming physically intimate, had now become confusing. Furthermore, since Xu Zhi had invested all his money in the stock market, he was left with just enough to cover basic living expenses and had barely any cash on hand. This significantly increased Wang Yuchen’s grievances toward him, and over time, their relationship began to grow distant.
Li Yuan would joke with Xu Zhi, saying, "If you break up, you break up. The next one will be much better. Once you’re rich, all sorts of beautiful women will be lining up for you..."
Sadly, Xu Zhi was a bit like Li Yuan’s past self; he was unwilling to give up on this budding relationship.
Li Yuan suppressed the emotions swirling in his mind and said to Bai Weixi, "Alright, I’ll come over to your place."
"Okay! I’ll be waiting for you at home."
...
「Emerald Mansion.」
Wang Yuchen lay on the rocking chair on the balcony, soaking up the warm autumn sun and staring enviously at the park outside the window.
This is what life should be. Unfortunately, this life didn’t belong to her; it belonged to her best friend. A house worth over two million, a BMW sports car, a Mercedes-Benz sedan, LV bags, designer clothes... That scumbag Li Yuan really knows how to spoil Weixi... I thought Weixi would choose to break up with Li Yuan, but in the end, she accepted him and this situation. It makes sense, really. If Weixi let go now, it would mean willingly throwing away everything within her grasp, just to let those other vixens have it for free. The three years of her youth in high school would have been a complete waste... Now Li Yuan has created something called ’Zhihu.’ Judging by the current trend, it seems quite popular. Maybe he’ll even become a business tycoon, a billionaire...
Wang Yuchen glanced at Bai Weixi, who was talking with Li Yuan in the living room, and couldn’t help but think of her own ’boyfriend,’ Xu Zhi.
Back in high school, she thought Xu Zhi was pretty decent. He treated her well, was always there for her with meticulous care, and they even ended up at the same university. To their high school classmates, they were an enviable couple. At the time, she had planned to have a truly sweet romance with Xu Zhi in college. But after starting college and meeting more impressive people, a high school classmate like Li Yuan was suddenly shining like a brilliant pearl. The comparison to the ordinary Xu Zhi created a huge gap in her heart. Her best friend lived in a mansion, drove luxury cars, and wore designer clothes, while she scraped by on a monthly allowance of just over 600 yuan, hesitating to even buy snacks or bubble tea... She was resentful!
Thinking of Li Yuan’s strong physique and handsome face, her mind involuntarily recalled the accident that night. Her eyes flickered, her thoughts a mystery.
...
After a while, Bai Weixi came to the balcony with a gentle, charming smile.
Wang Yuchen asked curiously, "Bai, was that Li Yuan on the phone?"
Bai Weixi nodded, explaining with a hint of shyness, "Li Yuan’s mother is back in Modu. He’s taking me to his home to meet his mother tonight."
Wang Yuchen’s eyes widened in shock. "You guys are moving fast!" she exclaimed. "Already meeting the parents? What’s next? Getting married right after graduation and having a baby?"
Bai Weixi smiled shyly. Li Yuan had met her parents half a month ago, and they were extremely pleased with him. Lately, they had been frequently asking about their relationship, but she hadn’t dared to tell them the truth... As for the rumors circulating online, they had vanished in recent days, and since her parents didn’t surf the internet much, they were still unaware of the real situation.
"Yuchen, what do you think? Should I buy a gift for my first time meeting his mother? What kind of gift would be good?"
Wang Yuchen thought for a moment, then said, "Li Yuan is about our age, so his mother must be in her forties. Middle-aged women generally like bags, cosmetics, jewelry, and things like that... Bai, what are you planning to buy for Li Yuan’s mother?"
Bai Weixi shook her head. "I don’t know. I don’t know anything about his mother, but..."
An image of Li Yuan’s parents flashed in Bai Weixi’s mind. Although she had never met them up close, from their appearance alone, they looked like very simple and rustic country folk. They should be easy to get along with, right?
Seeing Bai Weixi’s troubled expression, Wang Yuchen teased her, "Bai, in my opinion, you should just buy some nice imported fruits like cherries or durian. Then get some gold jewelry, an emerald pendant, or a jade bracelet. I guarantee your future mother-in-law will love it.
"Besides, when a girlfriend visits for the first time, it’s usually the elders who give gifts to the younger generation. Just showing up yourself is enough.
"Even if you don’t buy any gifts, with your looks, figure, and education, Li Yuan’s mother will be ecstatic to meet you...
"So, Bai, you really don’t need to worry."
Despite Wang Yuchen’s words, Bai Weixi still felt a bit nervous. It was her first time meeting Li Yuan’s parents, and she wanted to make a good impression. It reminded her of when Li Yuan met her parents. He had come prepared with Maotai, Zhonghua cigarettes, a Rolex, and an LV bag, completely charming them. They were so smitten they were practically ready to marry the two off on the spot...
Bai Weixi paused, then asked, "Yuchen, what do you think? Should I buy a jade bracelet? My mom has one too, and I think it looks really nice."
Wang Yuchen smiled and nodded. "Sure, a jade bracelet would look very nice, but it isn’t cheap. A good one could cost thousands, even tens of thousands. Do you have that much money?"
