Chapter 842: Chapter 303: 50th Anniversary of No. 2 High School, Zhao Mingxuan’s Troubles (Part 3)
"I think, it shouldn’t be just like this."
Su Zelin spoke at the right moment.
"Indeed, if her parents look down on me, I could let it slide, but even my girlfriend isn’t as nice to me as she was in college. Maybe she’s influenced by her parents. She even said she’d never come to Jianglan in this lifetime. Even if we get married, she’d only have the wedding in Beijing and spend all the holidays there!"
As he said this, Zhao Mingxuan tugged at his hair, deeply troubled.
Su Zelin frowned.
As a wife, not willing to come to her husband’s family for the wedding and after, it’s simply an insult to the husband.
This leaves Zhao Mingxuan losing face, and it certainly wouldn’t be a good look for his father, Vice Mayor Zhao, either.
"Honestly, this is just too much!"
The slacker shook his head.
In his previous life, he only knew that woman cheated on Zhao Mingxuan, but didn’t know about all this.
No wonder at the homecoming reunions during the holidays, he never saw that proud wife of his. So there were more backstories.
"Right, what does she take my parents for, acting like this?"
Zhao Mingxuan seemed to have found a confidant, filled with righteous indignation.
"Marry a chicken, follow a chicken; marry a dog, follow a dog. What kind of wife doesn’t want to come to visit her husband’s family? Does it mean my parents have to go up to Beijing to see her every time?"
He didn’t dare say this in front of his girlfriend, nor did he dare talk about it with friends in Beijing, for fear it’d somehow reach her ears. But he had drunk quite a lot tonight and felt that Su Zelin wouldn’t blabber, so he couldn’t help but vent.
"When she said those words, I was really pissed off. Is this the mutual respect that should exist between a couple? She doesn’t even see me as her boyfriend!"
"Honestly, who am I, Zhao Mingxuan?"
The bespectacled man slapped the table: "I’ve got family background, I’ve got capability, handsome and elegant, a refined gentleman. Back then, I was a heartthrob in the school. Why should I suffer such discrimination?"
Su Zelin: "..."
Come on, you might be thinking too highly of yourself. I admit you have family and ability, but as for being handsome, elegant, and a heartthrob... let’s pass on that.
Zhao Mingxuan got more and more excited as he spoke.
"Not just in our school, even at the University of Law and Politics, there are other girls who like me, and they’re very pretty. But I take love very seriously, and just want to be devoted to one person. I’ve never paid attention to those who have a crush on me, and even actively kept my distance. Isn’t it all because I love her!"
Su Zelin thought to himself whether it was true or just him bragging after drinking too much.
"Su Zelin, you’re really lucky. If my girlfriend were even half as good-tempered as Qin Shiqing, no, even a third as good, I’d be thanking my lucky stars, completely content!"
Zhao Mingxuan sighed deeply once again.
"Maybe you were right before; maybe we’re truly not suitable. But every time I think of breaking up, I can’t bear it. After all, she’s my first girlfriend. I’ve always dreamed of loving her my whole life, growing old together!"
After ranting, the bespectacled man directly picked up a bottle and chugged it.
Seeing his pitiful state, Su Zelin felt a bit sympathetic.
For a woman like that, Zhao Mingxuan really isn’t worth it.
Oh right, New Era won the bid to sponsor the Spring Festival Gala earlier this year, so I’ll have to go to Beijing as well.
Maybe I could meet that woman and see if I can find a way for Zhao Mingxuan to finally give up on her.
