Chapter 25 Qian Xinya's Collapse
Chapter 25 Qian Xinya's Collapse
Zhou Kang's words exploded like a bomb in the living room.
The smiles on Qian Shenghua and Wang Yingxiu's faces instantly froze.
Qian Xinya's face turned deathly pale instantly, and her body trembled slightly.
A flicker of excitement crossed Liang Jiajia's face, but she quickly regained her composure.
Only Qian Haoteng stood up abruptly, his face flushed red: "What do you mean?"
Zhou Kang was amused by Qian Hao's words. He glanced at Qian Hao with disdain and said, "You should know best what I mean."
"You're perfectly capable, yet you don't rely on yourself to get married, but entirely on your sister's blind date, right?" Zhou Kang shook his head. "As a fellow man, where's your shame?"
"You!" Qian Hao was speechless, choked by his words.
Zhou Kang then turned to Qian Xinya, a look of disappointment on his face: "Miss Qian, I've been waiting for you to speak."
"Cars, houses, shops," he counted on his fingers. "I've been waiting for you to say 'enough,' but you never did."
Qian Xinya clenched her fists and bit her lip.
Zhou Kang shook his head, looking regretful.
"I thought that someone who had seen the world in Beijing would be reasonable and able to distinguish right from wrong. Now it seems that I was wrong."
"I think I can already see what our life will be like after we get married. Your mom will say, 'Haohao wants to buy a car, can you help him?' Your mom will say, 'Haohao wants to move to a new house, can you help him?'"
"Then you'll look at me and say nothing."
"Just like today."
"Perhaps you have your reasons, but I really can't accept someone who can't distinguish right from wrong and doesn't focus on family. I'm sorry, I think we're really not right for each other."
After saying that, Zhou Kang stood up, picked up the car keys from the coffee table, and walked straight towards the door, no longer paying attention to the faces of this family of vampires.
"Wait!" Wang Yingxiu exclaimed anxiously, quickly standing up. "Xiao Kang, don't panic, let's talk this out..."
"There's nothing to say." Zhou Kang didn't turn his head. "No man is a fool, and no one would willingly be your son's blood bag."
"But you agreed to all those things..."
Zhou Kang stopped and turned around.
He was so angry he laughed so many times today.
He looked at Wang Yingxiu with a half-smile.
"Even if we don't get married, do we still have to keep our promise?"
He pushed open the door and went out.
boom!
The door was closed.
The Qian family members were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
Liang Jiajia suddenly stood up: "I'm going to chase after him!"
"Jiajia!" Qian Hao called out, but she had already run out.
……
downstairs.
Just as Zhou Kang reached the car, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
"Wait!" Liang Jiajia caught up breathlessly, a fawning smile on her face. "Mr. Zhou, what you just said, is it true?"
"What are you saying?" Zhou Kang pretended not to understand.
"It's just... why don't you just marry me directly..." Liang Jiajia rubbed her hands together, her eyes full of expectation.
Zhou Kang looked at her and suddenly smiled.
He wanted to play a trick on this family of oddballs.
"You want me to marry you?" Zhou Kang asked.
"Yes, yes, I do! I really do!" Liang Jiajia nodded quickly. "I'm younger than Qian Xinya, and what I want is cheaper than hers. Most importantly, I won't listen to my mother in everything like she does..."
"Oh? So confident, huh?" Zhou Kang leaned back in the car, looking at her with a half-smile.
"Then you need to prove your sincerity first."
"What sincerity?"
"Go back and break up with Qian Hao," Zhou Kang said calmly. "If you really break up with him, I'll consider it."
Liang Jiajia's eyes lit up. Was this a chance to curry favor with someone powerful?
"Are you telling the truth?"
Zhou Kang glanced at his watch, then nodded: "Of course. But you'd better hurry, I don't have that much time to wait for you."
"Okay! I'll go right now!" Liang Jiajia turned around and ran upstairs.
Watching her retreating figure, Zhou Kang revealed a playful smile.
He opened the car door, climbed into the driver's seat, and started the engine.
"Fool! How could I possibly accept a woman who would betray her boyfriend without hesitation when we're even at the stage of discussing marriage?"
The Porsche engine roared to life as Zhou Kang drove off.
……
Upstairs, the Qian family.
A deathly silence fell over the living room.
Qian Xinya sat on the sofa, her hands clenched tightly, her body trembling slightly.
Clearly, Zhou Kang's words had a great impact on her.
"Xinya..." Wang Yingxiu said cautiously, "Don't be angry with your mother, she's only doing this for your own good..."
"Enough! Stop talking! You know in your heart whether you're doing this for my own good or for his!"
Qian Xinya kicked over the coffee table and became hysterical.
The water cups and teapots all crashed to the ground with a piercing shattering sound.
"It's all your fault!" she pointed at Wang Yingxiu, her voice hoarse. "It's all your fault!"
"I'm already twenty-five! Twenty-five!"
"The last one! The one before that! It's all because of you that I can't get married!"
Wang Yingxiu was startled by her appearance: "Xinya, how...how could you say that about Mom..."
"Why can't I say that? Why can't I say it?" Qian Xinya's tears streamed down her face. "Which part of what I said wasn't the truth?"
"I was doing really well with my boyfriend in Beijing! He works in finance, earns a million a year, and treats me very well! I've even met his parents! They're both very happy with me."
"And what happened? You insisted that someone buy a house for your brother!"
"Do you know how expensive houses are in Beijing? Do you even know?"
"In the end, they compromised and bought us this house, and then you said you'd have them find a job for Qian Hao! But they ran away! And now I'm still paying the mortgage!"
"Last year you set me up on another blind date. The other person works in foreign trade and comes from a well-off family."
"And then what happened? You said your brother was getting married and asked them to arrange a job for him."
"Why should they? Why should they arrange a job for your son?"
"Your son is a good-for-nothing! Do you know he's a good-for-nothing?"
Qian Xinya became more and more agitated as she spoke, and tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string.
"You've always been biased! You've given him all the good things!"
"I want to learn dance, but you said you didn't have the money and told me to work to earn the tuition myself!"
"He wants to buy a game console, so you buy it for him without hesitation!"
"I got into university, and you're making me take out a loan myself!"
"He didn't even graduate high school, and you say it doesn't matter because you have me at home!"
"Now that I'm getting married, you still want to leech off me!"
"What exactly do you want from me? What exactly do you want from me?"
Qian Xinya broke down; she squatted on the ground, hugged her head, and cried.
Wang Yingxiu stood there, her face pale, her lips trembling, unable to speak.
Qian Shenghua sighed and went over to help his daughter up.
"Don't touch me!" Qian Xinya pushed him away. "You're the same! You're a spineless coward! You only ever listen to her! From childhood to adulthood, have you ever said a single word for me? Have you?"
Qian Shenghua opened his mouth, but in the end he just sighed.
Qian Hao huddled on the sofa, barely daring to breathe.
Qian Xinya cried for a long time before finally calming down.
She wiped away her tears, stood up, and looked at Wang Yingxiu.
"Mom, I'll ask you one last question." Her voice was calm, but her eyes were filled with despair. "In your heart, who is more important, me or my brother?"
Wang Yingxiu was stunned.
"What...what are you saying? You are all my children..."
"That's enough," Qian Xinya interrupted her. "I understand."
She turned and walked towards her room.
"I'm moving out tomorrow. Whoever wants to pay the mortgage can do it!"
"And my marriage is none of your business!"
boom!
Qian Xinya slammed the door shut, leaving three people stunned in the living room.
Just then, the door was pushed open.
Liang Jiajia rushed in, panting, and went straight to Qian Hao.
Let's break up.
"What?" Qian Hao was stunned.
"I said, let's break up," Liang Jiajia repeated. "You're a piece of trash, I don't want you."
After saying that, she turned and walked out.
"Jiajia! Where are you going?" Qian Hao chased after her.
Liang Jiajia ran downstairs, only to find that Zhou Kang had already left.
Liang Jiajia stood there, stomping her feet in anger, her face turning pale and then flushed.
She'd been tricked.
