Chapter 296: Your Boyfriend Has a Girlfriend
Xie Zheng yelled for the car to stop, and Ye Qingbai growled impatiently, "What?"
"Stop for a moment."
Xie Zheng pointed in the direction of a telephone pole not far away, "Look, Lu Ya is secretly dating that skinny guy again. Let's go take a look."
Ye Qingbai also looked in the direction Xie Zheng knew.
He said he wasn't interested, saying, "Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
Xie Zheng's attention was entirely focused on what was behind the telephone pole. His expression was serious and earnest. "This is not meddling in other people's business."
Ye Qingbai had no choice but to stop the car. Xie Zheng, with his long legs, had already stepped down. He said, "Although Lu Ya isn't very pretty and isn't as outstanding as my cousin or Lu Ye, her father is a coal mine owner and she comes from a military compound. That man is simply not good enough for her."
She had seen that boy at the entrance of Jishengtang last time; it wasn't a question of whether he was good enough for her.
The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.
It's not that he discriminates against poor people.
This world is made up of the majority of people living in poverty.
But he rarely saw the greasy, disgusting, greedy, and scheming temperament that Lu Ya's partner possessed.
"Come on, let's go take a look." Xie Zheng grabbed Ye Qingbai's arm.
Ye Qingbai hesitated, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with it?"
Xie Zheng said with a righteous expression, "Xiao Bai mentioned to us last time that Lu Ya's boyfriend is really awful and we should advise her to pull back from the brink and wake up in time. For Lu Ye's sake, we should do something about it since we've run into him."
Without saying a word, Xie Zheng grabbed Ye Qingbai and strode over.
I had only taken two steps closer when I overheard their conversation. The man, speaking in broken Mandarin, said, "Xiaoya, you don't want me to meet your family. You don't love me. You don't want to marry me."
Lu Ya shook his hand, her voice sweet and coquettish, "Brother Bin, don't overthink it. How could I not love you? We've been together for so long."
"Yeah, we've been together for so long, why haven't you taken me to your house? I've never even been inside the military compound."
"Besides, we could easily get jobs directly at your dad's company, with some junior management positions. Why do we have to wait for the school to assign us jobs? I don't want to go to that kind of place that only pays a few dozen yuan a month."
The man was full of complaints, and Lu Ya was in a dilemma. "I can't decide this. My dad is very opposed to me going to the coal mine. He said the conditions there are harsh and it's not a place for girls."
“I’m a man, I’m not afraid of hardship. You can work in Nancheng, and I’ll go to Jincheng. Have your dad arrange a high-paying leadership position for me. Once I’ve earned some money, we’ll get married.”
"this........"
Lu Ya hesitated, her face full of difficulty. The man, with a stern face, used both soft and hard tactics, "I can not go to your house, but you have to finalize my job situation. I'm also thinking about our future. With a job that only pays a few dozen yuan, when will I ever save enough money to marry you?"
Lu Ya hurriedly said, "I'll give you the money. Haven't I been giving you money all along?"
Li Bin scoffed, "How much money can you come up with? Do you even have enough to buy a house?"
Hearing this, Xie Zheng couldn't stand it any longer. He quickly went over and grabbed Li Bin by the collar, saying, "You gigolo, you actually tried to scam my sister!"
Two tall men suddenly appeared, startling Li Bin and Lu Ya.
Li Bin was nearly lifted up by Xie Zheng. He looked terrified and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing?"
"I'm her cousin." Xie Zheng pulled Ye Qingbai over. "This is Lu Ya's boyfriend. What were you two talking about just now?"
Lu Ya was initially stunned and didn't react for a moment, but when Xie Zheng introduced Ye Qingbai as her boyfriend, she immediately became anxious, "What boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend."
Lu Ya hurriedly looked at Li Bin and explained, "Brother Bin, don't listen to his nonsense, I don't know this person."
Xie Zheng, however, was very serious. Looking at Lu Ya's expression, he was disappointed in her. "You didn't take the suitable partner your family found for you seriously. Instead, you went out and hung out with some hooligans. We know you're willful, but it's time to settle down and come home."
"Li Bin, right? Lu Ya had a fight with her boyfriend. The young girl is playful and wants to do something exciting at school. She's had too much coarse food and wants to try something different. You know what I mean, right?"
Xie Zheng released Li Bin, pushed Ye Qingbai, the "tool," in front of him, and patted him on the shoulder. "Look at her decent boyfriend, and then look at your pointy-faced, monkey-like appearance. What makes you worthy of Lu Ya? The most important thing in life is to know your own limitations."
"You still want to work at Lu's Coal Mine? You still want to be a leader and make big money?" Xie Zheng looked him up and down with disdain, mocking him without any politeness. "Someone like you wouldn't even be qualified to work as a miner in the mine."
At this point, his previously nonchalant demeanor suddenly turned fierce, and he threatened through gritted teeth, "If you know what's good for you, get lost and don't ever show your face in front of Lu Ya again, or else..."
He made a throat-slitting gesture.
Li Bin was almost scared to death, but he stared at Lu Ya with unwavering determination, refusing to believe that he was merely a tool for Lu Ya's amusement.
She clearly loved him so much, and spent so much money on him...
Lu Ya stamped her foot anxiously, "Xie Zheng, what exactly are you trying to do? What have I done to offend you?"
Lu Ye drove Bai Zhi back to the military compound. At the turn, Bai Zhi spotted her motorcycle parked on the side of the road.
She was taken aback for a moment, then looked up to find Ye Qingbai's figure. Soon, she saw several familiar figures on the telephone pole diagonally opposite.
"Stop right now."
The two got out of the car and ran over, only to find Lu Ya crying, scolding Xie Zheng while comforting her boyfriend.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ye asked.
Xie Zheng glanced at the love-struck Lu Ya and said in an unfriendly tone, "This guy tricked Lu Ya and even wanted this stupid girl to use her connections to get him a leadership position at Lu Ya's father's company. And Lu Ya, that idiot, actually agreed."
"Lu Ya, is this your boyfriend?" Bai Zhi looked at the disheveled man and asked Lu Ya.
"Yes, he is my boyfriend."
Lu Ya looked at Bai Zhi and said, "Sister-in-law, Xie Zheng just talked nonsense, saying that your cousin and I are engaged, which caused my brother Bin to misunderstand. Please explain quickly, I have no relationship with your cousin."
Bai Zhi didn't respond to Lu Ya's words, but instead looked at Lu Ye and the others.
"You guys handle this, I'll take Lu Ya back first."
Lu Ya remained resolute, "I'm not leaving."
“If you don’t leave now, the whole military compound will know you’re talking about petty thugs outside.”
"Brother Bin is not a hoodlum."
"What would happen if your dad found out?"
Bai Zhi's words silenced Lu Ya instantly, and Bai Zhi quickly pulled her away while she hesitated.
Bai Zhi was very strong, and Lu Ya was being pulled along by her. Still, she was worried and turned her head to look at Li Bin, who was surrounded by Lu Ye and the others.
"What are my cousins going to do to Li Bin?"
As Bai Zhi walked, she said, "Don't worry, your cousin is a soldier. He won't do anything illegal or disorderly."
They fell into the military compound. Bai Zhi pulled her to a large locust tree. When no one was around, she whispered to Lu Ya, "Xiao Ya, I'll tell you a secret."
