In an inconspicuous coffee shop in Bei Du.
Xia Ji, you're not compatible with my daughter. Don't look for her again."
Xia Ji looked at the middle-aged woman sitting in front of him and felt a wave of pain in his heart. Her daughter was called Ling Long, and she was his girlfriend, his first love. She was also the woman he had once vowed to protect with his life. But now, all of this seemed to have become a fantasy.
Linglong meant delicate and meticulous, lively and cute. Her daughter was just like her name. Not only did she have good grades, but she was also beautiful and lived a delicate life. Her family was also very good. She was just like a young lady in ancient times, making people envious.
Ling Long was only nineteen years old, the same age as him. She also gave off the exquisiteness and grace of a Jiangnan woman. She also had the cunningness and cuteness of a young girl. She was as beautiful as a hibiscus that had emerged from the water. In his eyes, his girlfriend was so beautiful and lovable.
Linglong was the school belle and the boy's favorite. Xia Ji and her were a match made in heaven. Xia Ji was also a student with good grades and was also recognized as the school hunk by the girls. It seemed to be natural for the school belle and the school hunk to be paired together.
Xia Ji's family background was also very good. He was the only son in the family, and his family's wealth was tens of millions. In addition to the real estate, his family's wealth was more than 100 million. Most importantly, he was not arrogant and arrogant like some unruly second generation. Instead, he was gentle, cultured, and reasonable. He knew how to be modest when doing things. His gentle personality and appearance were liked by many people, including Exquisite.
However, everything came to an abrupt end three months ago. For some reason, Xia Ji's parents became obsessed with speculating about bitcoin half a year ago. They even increased the leverage several times over to spectate bitcoin. Finally, three months ago, they lost all their money. Not only did they lose their original wealth, but they also pledged their company and property to outsiders. In the end, they still owed nearly 200 million in foreign debt.
In just a few short months, Xia Ji's family had gone from heaven to hell. The family that had once had a successful career was now forced to pay debts by the bank, relatives, friends, and even loan sharks. In order to pay off these debts, they had sold everything they could and saved everything they could. However, they still owed more than 130 million yuan in foreign debt.
With such a big incident happening at home, Xia Ji was no longer in the mood to study in school or enjoy the beautiful university life. He was only a university student in name now. In fact, he worked two jobs every day. He delivered food during the day and tutored at night. He even applied for the school's poverty allowance. As long as it was a place that could save money and a job that could earn money, he would try to do it.
Seeing Xia Ji remain silent, the middle-aged woman said," We all know about your family's current situation. To put it bluntly, Xia Ji, you don't have the ability to make my daughter happy now or even in the future."
Xia Ji felt bitter in his heart. She was right. There were people who could stand up again after falling down, but very few. Once a person fell down, it was not difficult to stand up again, but extremely difficult. In his impression, Shi Yuzhu was the only person in the country who could stand up after falling down.
Although he felt bitter, he didn't blame or feel angry. Instead, he felt helpless and numb. He had seen many people change their attitudes in the past three months. The relatives who used to be close to him, the friends who used to call him brother, and the people who used to flatter him seemed to have disappeared in the past three months. The bad ones even ridiculed him and hit him when he was down.
Xia Ji smiled bitterly and said softly, Auntie, does Linglong know about this?"
The middle-aged woman stared at Xia Ji for a while before saying," To tell you the truth, Linglong didn't know that I came looking for you, but that's not the main point. The main point is that I don't want my daughter to live a life without happiness with you in the future. Xia Ji, for Linglong's future, you should let go."
" Auntie, how do you know that Linglong and I won't be happy together?" Xia Ji muttered softly.
The middle-aged woman shook her head and said,"How can your family be happy in the future with the current state of your family?"
He continued," You are still young. When you were young, you liked to fantasize. You liked to spend time with flowers and moons, and you liked to make vows of eternal love. However, you have to know that the time a person is young is very short. Most of their lives are spent giving birth to children. They are all about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. They are all diesel sauce vinegar.
"But with your family's current situation, you have a debt of more than 130 million yuan, and your parents are in a slump. As for you, do you want to rely on delivering food and being a tutor to pay off these debts? Do you want to rely on these two jobs to give Linglong happiness? Xia Ji, love is beautiful, but reality is cruel. You can't give Linglong happiness like this?"
Xia Ji lowered his head and didn't say anything. His family's debt of more than 130 million was like a huge mountain weighing down on him. He tried his best to change this situation, but when he really entered the melting pot of society, he realized how weak he was.
In the past three months, because of his family's matters, he had experienced many things that he had never encountered before. His personality had also changed greatly. His cheerful and confident personality had now become silent, indifferent, and even compromising. He was no longer a rich child, but a child who struggled to survive in order to repay his debts.
The middle-aged woman saw Xia Ji lowering his head and sighed in her heart. He used to be such a sunny and good child, but in just a few months, he had been hit by this society and became silent.
She had met Xia Ji a few times and knew that he was her daughter's boyfriend. She was very satisfied with Xia Ji back then, but now, she could only change her original thoughts.
She said softly," Xia Ji, it's not that I want to discourage you, but do you think you can afford to buy a house in this city when you're talking about marriage? Can you give your children a good learning environment? Can you let my daughter no longer worry about food, clothing, housing, and transportation?"
"Xia Ji, you can't do this. You and your family have fallen into the abyss and are struggling to survive in it. I hope you won't bring my daughter into the abyss with you. I'm begging you. Leaving Ling Long is the best choice for you and her, right?"
" Auntie, I-I'll try my best to stand up," Xia Ji muttered again.
