Chapter 351: Love is the most unreliable thing.

Lu Ya didn't take Wang Shufen's words seriously.

Even if her cousin and his wife are well-matched in terms of social status, what does that prove?

She and Li Wei were not a good match in terms of social status, but they shared the most sincere love.

"Mom, we disagree on this issue. Please don't interfere in my personal matters. I'll handle it myself."

Lu Ya's words directly caused Wang Shufen to break down.

What do you mean she has to handle it herself?

This clearly means they are going against her and completely ignoring her.

They want to cause trouble outside.

“Tell me honestly, do you have a boyfriend outside?” Wang Shufen questioned.

She guessed that this brat not only had a boyfriend, but his conditions were definitely not that great.

He might still be a poor boy.

Otherwise, Lu Ya wouldn't have this attitude.

Thinking of this, Wang Shufen became very emotional.

She was determined to rely on her daughter in the future. If that brat was not up to par and brought home a poor son-in-law who would sponge off her, then her life would be over.

Wang Shufen was extremely anxious, looking at her daughter with a worried expression, desperately wanting a negative answer.

"Mom, I'm not young anymore. It's perfectly normal to date these days. What's the big deal?"

"Of course it's fine for you to date, but you need to tell me right now what the other person does. Let me tell you, if they don't meet your standards, you have to break up with them immediately."

Lu Ya rolled her eyes, feeling annoyed and exhausted. "Mom, what era are we living in? Can't we stop being so old-fashioned? Why should I look for a partner according to your standards? As long as I like him, that's enough. Personal conditions aren't that important to me. The most important thing is that he loves me and I love him. The important thing for us to be together is that we like each other, not those external rules and regulations."

"Don't give me that whole talk, girl. You're just wasting your time. Let me tell you, so-called love is the most unreliable thing. Even if you two love each other now, how long can that bullshit love last? Can it put food on the table? Only strength is the real deal."

That brat has never suffered since she was a child; she has no idea what it means to be a person in distress.

She commanded, "You cut it off right now."

Wang Shufen's tone left no room for argument: "I'll find you a suitable partner later and arrange for you to go on a blind date."

"By the way, I think Ye Qingbai is a nice guy. We're all relatives, we know each other well. Try to make your presence known to him more often, maybe you can develop a relationship. He's such a handsome young man, I don't believe you won't be attracted to him."

When Lu Ya heard that her mother was trying to sell her Ye Qingbai again, her rebellious streak intensified.

"Mom, can you please stop mentioning Ye Qingbo? He is very outstanding, but what does that have to do with me? I don't like his type. I don't like any of the soldiers either. They're rigid and serious, and they can be suffocating."

She grew up in a military family. How could she not know the personalities of her grandfather, uncle, and cousin?

She absolutely cannot accept that her partner is the same type as them.

She was adamant: "Don't bring this up again. Anyway, I have my own plans. When the time is right, I will bring my partner to meet you."

Lu Ya's words were a complete admission that she was dating someone.

This naturally confirmed Wang Shufen's guess.

That means the person she chose wasn't very good.

At the very least, their family background is not good.

After Lu Ya finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave her mother's bedroom when she bumped into her father at the door.

Because of her boyfriend, Lu Ya felt somewhat guilty when she saw her father.

She could stand up to her mother, but she didn't dare tell her father about her relationship with Li Wei.

Her plan was to first get Li Wei a job at the coal mining company, and then announce their relationship once he had earned her father's favor through his own abilities and achieved some success.

By then, she believed her parents would approve of her relationship with Li Wei.

She casually called out "Dad" and lowered her head to walk past him, but Lu Shaoan stopped her, "Xiaoya, come in for a moment."

Lu Ya's body stiffened slightly, and a trace of worry crossed her face.

"Dad, what's wrong?" she asked, trying to sound calm.

Lu Shaoan walked ahead, saying, "Come in first."

"Oh." Lu Ya had no choice but to turn around and follow him inside.

Wang Shufen was so angry with Lu Ya that she leaned against the headboard, her face long and drawn, groaning as she held her head.

Upon seeing Lu Shaoan enter, she quickly sat up straight.

Lu Shaoan ignored her and looked at Lu Ya directly, saying, "Regarding arranging a job for your friend, I've already spoken to your brother. The company doesn't have any extra positions at the moment, so let's talk about it later."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ya's expression turned anxious. "Dad, didn't we already agree on this?"

She had already told Li Wei that the job was settled, so why did she suddenly change her mind?

“It was agreed, but there are no positions available at the company, so he wouldn’t have anything to do even if he went there,” Lu Shaoan said. “How about this, I can ask someone to arrange a job for him in Nancheng, something similar to yours, as a way of repaying the favor.”

Lu Ya pouted and muttered irritably, "Dad, if someone wants a job in Nancheng, the school will assign it to them. Do you need to look for one?"

For recent vocational school graduates like them, jobs in Nancheng typically only pay a few dozen yuan a month.

Li Wei said that the little money he earned was simply not enough to cover his expenses.

Not to mention when he will be able to save enough dowry to marry her.

Li Wei wanted to work at the coal mining company, partly because of the good salary, but more importantly, he said he wanted to get close to his father and let him see his excellence.

Perhaps before they even announce their relationship, his father will already be trying to introduce his daughter to him.

Lu Ya felt that what Li Wei said made perfect sense.

He was so proactive in trying to get the chance to be with her.

He loves her so much, how could she not create opportunities for him?

"What do you mean? Your friend doesn't want to work in Nancheng, but wants to work in our family's coal mine?" Lu Shaoan narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Ya, asking, "What kind of logic is that? Nancheng is a developed city, while Jincheng is remote and backward. What's wrong with him that he would want to work there?"

“He’s willing to go,” Lu Ya replied.

Li Wei repeatedly expressed his desire to work in the coal mine.

If it were up to her, she would certainly hope that he could stay in Nancheng.

"Did he ask for it himself, or did you insist on doing him this favor?"

Lu Shaoan looked at her, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Did you promise him something?"

Feeling guilty, Lu Ya quickly lowered her head, avoiding eye contact with Lu Shaoan.

"Dad, what are you saying?"

"Did you promise him a high salary?" Lu Shaoan looked at his naive and simple-minded daughter with disappointment. She was perfectly capable of doing such a thing.

Just as Lu Hai said, none of her friends are reliable.

They probably want to use her to take shortcuts and make a lot of money.

Lu Shaoan spoke in a serious tone, "Let me tell you, the salary standards for management positions in our coal mining company are about the same as in Nancheng. If you want to earn more money, you have to go down into the mine."
