Chapter 578: 155: Capturing the True Colors of the Zhou Family (5th Update) _1

Goudan’s father tapped his tobacco pipe and said, “Ronghua, you need to temper your fiery temper. Your mother means well, she fears you might be deceived. A thousand yuan is not a trivial sum.”

“Zhou Wenhua is not that kind of person!” Li Ronghua retorted, “Fine, if you don’t want to help, so be it. I’m going for a walk!”

Li Ronghua put down her chopsticks and walked out.

“Sis!” Li Changshou was just about to follow her but was stopped by Han Xiaoqin, “Let her go! This wayward child is getting worse! Sooner or later, she’ll come to grief because of Zhou Wenhua.”

In the beginning, Han Xiaoqin and her family were very satisfied with Zhou Wenhua.

Zhou Wenhua was, after all, the first son-in-law in Jinghua Village to have graduated from university. Giving them bragging rights, didn’t he?

But over the years, Zhou Wenhua’s actions had increasingly disappointed them, especially with Mo Qishen as a comparison, making them look down on Zhou Wenhua even more.

Mo Qishen, despite his rich background, was always so polite to the villagers, playing the role of a young man perfectly.

As for Zhou Wenhua?

He acts all high and mighty just because he’s a university graduate, puffing himself up with pride!

What was worse, is that the Zhou Family has yet to acknowledge their relationship properly, clearly disregarding Li Ronghua

Yet, Li Ronghua still treats Zhou Wenhua like a treasure.

Walking down the countryside road at dusk, Li Ronghua was in a gloomy mood, plucking flowers and plants along her way in frustration.

Now that Zhou Wenhua had asked her for money for the first time, she couldn’t let him down.

Besides, Zhou Wenhua was a person with a strong sense of self-esteem. If he wasn’t in trouble, he wouldn’t actively ask for money.

If she couldn’t even fulfill this request of Zhou Wenhua’s, could she still consider herself Zhou Wenhua’s girlfriend?

No way!

She had to scrape together this thousand yuan.

“Ding-ding-ding.”

At this moment, the sound of a bicycle bell came from behind her.

Li Ronghua turned back to find that the person on the bicycle was Ni Yang.

Seeing Ni Yang was like seeing hope to Li Ronghua, so she immediately waved her hand, “Yangyang!”

“Sister Ronghua.” Yangyang alighted from her bicycle.

Li Ronghua asked, “Yangyang, did you just come back from the city?”

“Yes,” Ni Yang nodded slightly, “Are you taking a walk, Sister Ronghua?”

Li Ronghua also nodded, hesitated for a moment, then said, “Yangyang, can you do me a favor?”

“What do you need, Sister Ronghua?”

“Yangyang, can you lend me a thousand yuan?” Ni Yang was a big boss now, lending her a thousand yuan would not be a problem.

Ni Yang asked with concern, “Sister Ronghua, have you encountered some difficulties?”

Li Ronghua’s family was not exactly poor. There was no reason for them to borrow money unless they had encountered a serious problem.

Li Ronghua replied, “It’s not a big problem, just a bit of an emergency.”

“Does it have anything to do with your boyfriend?” Asked Ni Yang.

“Yes,” Li Ronghua nodded.

Ni Yang frowned slightly, “Your boyfriend is a university student, what does he need so much money for?”

Li Ronghua replied, “There are many expenses at university. Yang Yang, can you help me out for now? I’ll pay you back from my salary.”

Recalling the footage she had taken in the morning, Ni Yang said, “Let’s talk about the money later. Sister Ronghua, come with me to my house. I want to show you something.”

“What is it?” Li Ronghua asked.

“You’ll know when you see it.”

Li Ronghua followed Ni Yang to the Ni Family’s house

Ni Yang immediately led Ronghua to their new house, and they entered the living room on the first floor.

Even though they hadn’t moved into the new house yet, all the furniture was already arranged.

The retro-style décor, even the sofa was made of redwood, looked very pleasing to the eye.

Li Ronghua visited Ni Yang’s new house for the first time and expressed her surprise, “Yangyang, your home’s renovation is beautiful! It looks just like the ones on TV!”

Ni Yang gave a faint smile, “Sister Ronghua, please take a seat.”

“Sure.” Li Ronghua sat down on the sofa.

Ni Yang walked to the TV, took out a camera from her bag, and connected it with a data cable. Soon enough, a picture appeared on the TV.

Li Ronghua excitedly exclaimed, “Hey, Yangyang, isn’t this your Noodle Restaurant?”

Ni Yang nodded, “Yes, it’s my restaurant. Today, I accidentally recorded something quite interesting when I was filming there. I’d like to show it to you.”

“Sure, sure.”

This was Li Ronghua’s first time watching a video recording.

Soon, a familiar face appeared on the screen.

“Isn’t this my aunt?”

Ni Yang asked in confusion, “Do you know this person?”

Li Ronghua pointed at Wang Meiying and said, “This! This is my boyfriend’s mother.”

“Oh,” Ni Yang nodded slightly.

“Yangyang, why are you showing me this?” Li Ronghua was somewhat curious.

Ni Yang continued, “You’ll understand, Sister Ronghua, just keep watching.”

At first, Wang Meiying had nothing but praise for Zhou Wenhua.

Li Ronghua was very happy and proud. “My boyfriend is really something!”

However, as she kept watching, Li Ronghua felt something was not quite right.

Because Wang Meiying mentioned a shameless little girl who keeps throwing herself at her son and constantly gives him gifts!

At first, Li Ronghua didn’t realize this shameless little girl was her.

Not until Wang Meiying continued, “That little girl even gave my son a pen the day before yesterday! I heard it’s a brand from the USA! It costs over two hundred yuan!”

“In reality, my son wouldn’t give her a second glance!”

“My son already has a girlfriend from a family that matches ours!”

“… You haven’t seen how she fawns over him!”

All those words struck a blow, slicing through Li Ronghua like a knife.

She never thought that in the eyes of the elder she respected and loved, she was this kind of shameless person.

Ironic.

It was just too ironic.

Her love for Zhou Wenhua was just a joke to her boyfriend’s family.

Li Ronghua didn’t cry or make a fuss, she just sat quietly on the sofa, spacing out, wishing for a hole to stare at on the television.

“Sister Ronghua.” Ni Yang approached and patted Li Ronghua on the shoulder.

Li Ronghua’s emotions exploded in that instant, she turned and hugged Ni Yang, crying loudly, “Yangyang! Yangyang!”

Ni Yang comforted her, “It’s okay, don’t be upset. In life, who hasn’t encountered a few jerks?”

Li Ronghua continued to sob.

She didn’t understand why Zhou Wenhua and his family treated her like this.

She loved Zhou Wenhua so much, where did she go wrong?

Was it just because she lacked education?

“Sister Ronghua, you should break up with that jerk as soon as possible. You are still young, you have a long life ahead of you. You don’t need to hang yourself on a crooked tree.”

“I love him! I love him so much! Yangyang, do you know how much I love him?”

She met Zhou Wenhua when she was sixteen. It’s been six years now.

No one knew how deep her feelings for Zhou Wenhua ran.

“But he doesn’t love you anymore,” Ni Yang continued, “He’s two-timing you, and even wants to take your money, Sister Ronghua, he’s not worth your love.”

“No! Wenhua wouldn’t lie to me! Wenhua wouldn’t deceive me!” Li Ronghua shook her head, she absolutely could not accept that Zhou Wenhua had betrayed her.

Ni Yang sighed, “Sister Ronghua, there’s a saying, love makes people crazy. Now you are the crazy one. I hope you can calm down and think about it carefully. For instance, are there any suspiciously close female students around him? Since his mother said he already has a well-matched girlfriend, there must be some signs.”

Li Ronghua was stunned.

Her first thought was of Su Ziqin.

That extraordinary woman who was both a beauty and a university student.

“No, Wenhua would never betray me,” Li Ronghua wiped the tears from her face and stood up, “I’m going to find Wenhua!”

Unless Zhou Wenhua admitted it himself, Li Ronghua would never accept it.

“Sister Ronghua,” Ni Yang kept up with Li Ronghua.

Li Ronghua turned back and tried to keep her tone as calm as possible, “Yangyang, don’t follow me. I want to handle this myself.”

Ni Yang was somewhat worried, “But…”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine,” Li Ronghua responded without turning back and left the place.

Li Ronghua didn’t know how she ended up at Zhou Wenhua’s school.

She had delivered sneakers to Zhou Wenhua here before, so she knew where his dormitory was.

But Zhou Wenhua’s roommate told her that Zhou Wenhua wasn’t in, that he had gone out to watch a movie.

As such, Li Ronghua stood at the entrance of the movie theater, waiting for him.

She waited for a long time.

Only then did she see Zhou Wenhua emerge from the cinema.
