Chapter 8

In this way, Du Hongting ascended the throne.

The first job in life is to be the boss, the starting point is really high.

Unlike me, my first part-time job was to help people wash underpants.

During that time, he always left early and returned late, and usually came back at midnight.

My parents repeatedly advised me to encourage and comfort him.

But what could I do?

I was feeling pretty hopeless myself.

I spent the entire winter break focusing on him.

Don’t ask me about the process.

God knows what I went through to make it happen!

In the end, the company’s affairs were almost sorted out, except for the big trouble of the two million yuan loan from the bank that was due in a few months.

I was powerless to help.

If my dad were a millionaire, I wouldn’t hesitate to write you a check for a hundred million yuan without asking for change.

But the reality is that my family is so poor that we have to borrow money even for my college tuition.

During that time, Du Hongting often had trouble sleeping.

I said to him, “If your dad were still alive, it would be great.”

He actually looked sad and said to me, “He would stay with me all night and sleep with me.”

I said, “…”

How despicable, this fatty.

I’ll give you my first experience of sleeping with someone.

Because the fatty is too large to sleep on one bed alone, I had to use a few chairs to make do.

Don’t ask me why I slept on a chair instead of the bed as a woman, and the man slept on the bed.

Just imagine a scene of Xiaolongnü sleeping on a rope.

And don’t ask me how I can sleep in the same room with a man in front of my parents, okay?

Maybe I’m not their biological daughter, but this fatty is.

The original words were, “As long as the fatty is happy, anything goes.”

Chinese New Year’s Eve.

My parents, me, and the fatty all had dinner together.

This was the situation before.

I lied to the fatty and said my parents wanted to introduce me to a boyfriend, so I asked him to pretend to be my boyfriend. I had my parents pretend not to know that I lied to the fatty and had him act as my boyfriend and treat him as such.

I’m getting dizzy.

Can my parents not be confused?

They actually asked Du Hongting, “When are you two planning to get married?”

I was so scared that I quickly took a sip of Red Star Erguotou to calm down.

Du Hongting was calm, “I listen to her.”

I was so angry that the Erguotou came out of my nostrils.

To prove my innocence, I had a separate conversation with my parents.

Unexpectedly, my mother was very open-minded: “It’s really hard to be a parent in China nowadays. When children are studying, parents stop them from falling in love. After graduation, they urge them to get married and find a partner with a car, a house, and a million-yuan annual salary. How can things be so perfect?”

Mom, thank you for your understanding.

But-

“I really didn’t date Du Hongting.”

My mother: “I believe you wouldn’t dare to.”

I breathed a sigh of relief.

My mother continued: “So, I plan to find you a marriage partner from now on.”

Me: ! ! !

Fortunately, my father’s thinking is not so feudal: “It’s not urgent. Let the daughter study well and find a good job.”

I nodded my head like garlic: It’s already this era, and girls have more than one way to go!

My father: “In this way, with better conditions, you can find a better partner in the future.”

Me: “…”

I really misjudged you, Dad.

Who was it that said when you were young, Daughter, you must study hard and earn big money in the future, become a leader in society?!

Since it was a lie, why didn’t they tell me earlier!

I’ve worked so hard and studied so much for all these years.

I feel so disillusioned with my parents’ image, so I went to find the fat guy.

After listening, he said lightly, “It seems that I am not qualified enough to be your future husband in your uncle and aunt’s eyes….”

That’s it.

I kept slapping myself in my mind.

Not only did I expose my true purpose for inviting him to our house for Chinese New Year, but I also hurt his self-esteem and made him feel the cruelty of reality, twice…

Thankfully, Du Hongting was a fat and good hearted person.

Not only was he not angry, he even took me out for a walk.

The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt.

How can sparrows understand the aspirations of swans!

It’s probably a belated rebellion, but I’ve decided to do something.

My mother strongly forbade me from doing it, saying that it would affect my studies, so I originally planned to wait until after graduation.

Now, I’ve decided to do it immediately, right away!

However, I need someone to cooperate with me to make it happen.

Coincidentally, there is a very suitable candidate in front of me.

On the way back, Du Hongting and I went to a pharmacy.

We bought the necessary tools for the crime.

Due to my lack of experience, I studied the packaging for a while and asked, “How do I use this?”

Du Hongting took a glance and said, “I’ll teach you.”

After going back, I took a shower and sneaked into Du Hongting’s room and quickly locked the door, “Let’s get started!”

Unfortunately, I misjudged.

Du Hongting had no talent in this area whatsoever.

He was too rough and had no skills at all.

I couldn’t help but cry out, “Oh my god!!! It hurts so much! Can you be more gentle?”

With a wipe of my hand, there was a smear of red!

I shouted in anger, “Look! It’s bleeding!!!”

But Du Hongting continued calmly, “A little bleeding is normal. Just bear with it and it will be okay soon.”

However, I didn’t lose out. In the process, I pinched his arm until it turned red.

I regretted it so much.

Why did I have to rebel against myself like this?

I was wrong.

It was just too painful.

When I walked out of the fat guy’s room, my eyes were red.

As a result, I looked up and bumped into my mother.

I felt so guilty.

My mother’s expression was really—

complicated and indescribable.

Although to outsiders she seemed to have no expression at all.

When I did something wrong, I acted tough, but as soon as I saw my mom, I became a coward.

I tidied myself up from head to toe, making it even more obvious what I had done.

I hoped she hadn’t noticed.

But then she suddenly said to me, “Go call Du Hongting out.”

I was so scared that my face turned pale and my lips turned purple, and I couldn’t speak properly, “Why do I have to call him out?”

My mom seemed a bit moved when she saw my expression, and I think she saw through me.

After all, her expression was pale with a sense of “since the incident has already happened, pursuing it further is pointless”.

My mom said, “Call him out…for dinner.”

I said, “Oh.”

After Du Hongting heard about it, he was stunned for two seconds.

Then he showed a meaningful smile.

I interpreted it as a sign of gloating.

Sigh.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have pierced my ears. It hurts so much.
