After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Seeing the guilty expression on Xu Bo'an's face, Li Ruiming said to Xu Bo'an, "Cousin, I'm really sorry. I invited you out to dinner today just to share some good news with you. I didn't expect to run into her parents here by such a coincidence, and to ask you to help me find a job on our first meeting has caused you so much trouble. I'm sorry!"

Seeing Li Ruiming's guilty expression, Xu Bo'an comforted him, "It's alright, cousin. What a coincidence! And it's understandable. After all, every parent wants their child to have a good job and a good life. Since we ran into each other today, they had to hurry up and ask around. It's only natural and understandable. We're brothers, so you don't need to take this little thing to heart, and there's no need for you to apologize to me!"

Li Ruiming said, "I'm sorry to trouble you. You're a big boss, and you have to sit here with me and put on a smiling face. Sigh... If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have invited you today!"

Xu Bo'an patted Li Ruiming on the shoulder and said, "You're not getting any younger, and it's not easy for you to find someone you like. As your younger brother, I'm happy for you and it's only right that I smile along. You don't need to talk to the girl's mother like that. After all, the older generation thinks differently from us. Otherwise, your girlfriend will come after you later! In the end, you'll be the one who suffers!"

This is what Xu Bo'an said to his cousin Li Ruiming. If he were in such a situation, he would definitely not give the other party a friendly look.

Li Ruiming said, "Sigh... Yu'er is such a gentle person, I never imagined her mother would be like that!"

Xu Bo'an patted Li Ruiming on the shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, don't worry about such a small thing. Now that you're in a relationship, just enjoy the sweetness! Don't worry about anything else! I'm waiting to eat your wedding candy!"

Li Ruiming said to Xu Bo'an, "Alright, I'll find you another time to apologize!"

Xu Bo'an said, "Look at you, aren't you being too formal again? Alright, you're going to the restroom, right? Go on!"

Li Ruiming didn't say anything more and walked towards the bathroom!
Xu Bo'an walked towards the private room. When he reached the door, he heard Lin Jingyu talking to her parents inside.

Lin Jingyu said, "Dad, Mom, my job has been settled. You two can make an excuse to leave later!"

Lin Jingyu's mother said, "You heartless wretch! Your father and I came all this way today just to play along with your act so you could get a good job. We haven't even touched this huge table of delicious food yet, and now that you've used us, you're trying to send us away? Even beggars wouldn't be treated like this!"

Lin Jingyu said, "How dare you say that? You cooperated with me in this charade, didn't you have any ulterior motives? Didn't you think my previous job paid too little and wanted me to switch to a higher-paying job to pay off your good-for-nothing son's debts? I saw through you a long time ago, you're just too sexist!"

Lin Jingyu's mother said, "Look at what you're saying. You only agreed to let us cooperate with you in this charade because you were willing to switch to a higher-paying job. If you hadn't agreed, would we have kidnapped you?"

Lin Jingyu said, "Yes, I agreed. Who doesn't want a high-paying job? Let me tell you, after I pay off your son's debt this time, if he does anything shady and incurs more debt, I absolutely will not contribute another penny!" Lin Jingyu's mother said, "Listen to what you're saying! We're all family. Your brother owes money, shouldn't you, as his older sister, do your part?"

Lin Jingyu said, "If my brother were an honest and hardworking person, I, as his older sister, would certainly do my best to help him when he needs money. But you know he's always idle and doesn't do anything productive. He's either an alcoholic or a gambler, and no matter how much we try to fill that hole, it's never enough!"

Lin Jingyu's mother said, "I don't care. Your father and I are getting old and can't earn much money. As the eldest sister, you have to fulfill your responsibility to take care of your younger brother. Besides, didn't we, the old couple, help you get this job by talking to that Mr. Xu? Why are you acting so arrogant in front of us?"

Lin Jingyu said, "Even if you hadn't come today, if I were to marry Ruiming in the future, I would definitely ask his cousin for help to find me a job. It's because you're worried that his cousin won't be able to pay off his debts on time that you insisted on coming here to put on this show!"

Lin Jingyu's mother said, "You've only been dating Li Ruiming for a short time, and you're already sure you two can get married in the future? You're so naive. Men are unreliable; only making money is the most practical thing. If you two don't end up together, do you think his cousin will help you find a job? Getting a job sooner will not only allow you to earn more money to help your brother pay off his debts, but it will also give you more peace of mind. Isn't that better?"

Lin Jingyu said, "I trust Ruiming's character. He was dating me with marriage in mind. Besides, the company is owned by Ruiming's cousin. If he can introduce you in, he can kick you out too. What difference does it make if it happens sooner or later? If it weren't for getting rid of you as soon as possible, I would never have put on this act to deceive Ruiming!"

Lin Jingyu's mother said, "But now that the show is over, you have to listen to us. Once you've made the money, send it over as soon as possible, or don't blame me for telling everyone!"

Hearing her mother's words, Lin Jingyu said angrily, "You, you are all vampires!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Bo'an understood that Lin Jingyu's parents' arrival here was not a coincidence, but rather something they had arranged in advance. Their goal was to get Lin Jingyu working at Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory as soon as possible so she could earn more money to pay off their son's debts.

Xu Bo'an was quite astonished by what Lin Jingyu's family did. He never expected that this family would use such a method to earn a job.

However, Xu Bo'an could understand Lin Jingyu's situation, since anyone living in such a family environment would want to escape as soon as possible.

As Xu Bo'an was lost in thought, Li Ruiming came out of the restroom and saw Xu Bo'an still waiting at the door of the private room. He walked over and patted Xu Bo'an on the shoulder from behind, saying, "Bo'an, why aren't you going in yet?"

Xu Bo'an was startled by Li Ruiming's slap, but quickly recovered and said to Li Ruiming, "I just had a smoke, so let's go in together!" (End of Chapter)
