Classmate Li Zhuangsheng doesn’t want to be reborn

"Mengdie, what are you really thinking?"

Mr. Hu sat on the edge of the bed, suppressing his anger. He thought to himself that the other person was no longer a child, so why couldn't he adjust to the situation?

So many days have passed, and she and Li Zhuangsheng have been in Nanjing for so long, why are they still like this?
In Hu's father's initial view, none of this was a problem at all!

Although he was very satisfied with Li Zhuangsheng and had urged Hu Mengdie to seize this opportunity, from beginning to end, Li Zhuangsheng and Hu Mengdie's relationship was entirely based on free choice, and he had no need to interfere!

I had no idea, and you're already saying you and Li Zhuangsheng are officially dating! I had no idea, and you're already saying your boyfriend is coming to visit! I had no idea, and you're already saying you can pick someone to get engaged! You've had a completely free-choice relationship from start to finish, what else is there to say!

Therefore, Mr. Hu believed that as long as the two of them spent a few days together, they would be able to love each other freely as before. Besides, they were now a legally married couple, so it was only natural and there were no obstacles at all!
No, what's going on here? I haven't adjusted after all these days?

Hu Mengdie stood with her back to her father, tears streaming down her face. She dared not speak, yet her heart was filled with resentment. She had long sensed that her parents were very satisfied with Li Zhuangsheng, and that they would not approve of her ideas.

They've never cared about their own thoughts, not even since childhood. And now, with no one to rely on, they dare not disobey their parents.

"Speak up, what are you really thinking?"

Mr. Hu was getting impatient, but since Li Zhuangsheng was outside, he couldn't scold him loudly.

Hu Mengdie bit her lip and remained silent.

"No ideas, huh? If you have no ideas, get up and eat in a bit, then go home with Zhuang Sheng!" Father Hu turned to leave.

"……dad."

Hu Mengdie finally spoke, her lips trembling.

Although she was timid, she still held onto hope for her parents. She was their biological daughter, and Li Zhuangsheng was, after all, an outsider. What parents would truly favor an outsider?

"Dad, please, don't...treat me like this." Hu Mengdie sobbed softly through her teary eyes, "I...I'm not ready yet."

Ultimately, her parents were her parents. Although they were a bit domineering, after hearing what Xie Jiangqing said, they finally agreed to her being with Qi Haoyu.

Although she couldn't imagine what the future held, she could vaguely guess that as long as she dared to fight, they would understand her at this moment!

Mr. Hu looked at Hu Mengdie with a deep gaze, and after a moment of silence, asked, "Mengdie, do you think your father and mother would harm you?"

Hu Mengdie remained silent, only weeping softly.

"Zhuang Sheng is a good man. He's good-looking and has a good character. He's also considerate and has a stable government job. His father is about to be promoted to bureau chief, and his mother owns a supermarket. They're quite well-off. You won't suffer if you marry him!"

"But I... I don't love him!"

Hu Mengdie was on the verge of collapse. She grabbed her father's clothes, suppressing her sobs. Although she had never been in a relationship, she had always harbored romantic fantasies about love.

She had fantasized about her future boyfriend and husband. They might have different personalities, but none of them included a dull and mediocre guy like Li Zhuangsheng. He was also unremarkable in appearance.

Why did I marry him? What's so special about him? Except for that damned name! Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly, why did you have that name?! Did he deliberately give me that name to cast a spell on me?
Besides, she has never even been in a relationship yet. How could she be willing to spend the rest of her life with someone she doesn't like?
Mr. Hu frowned deeply, growing increasingly angry: "Why don't you like him anymore? He was your own choice, you were the one who wanted to get married. Now you're saying you don't like him? If you don't like him, who do you like?"

“I…” “You’re not still thinking about that guy surnamed Qi, are you?” Mr. Hu sneered.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He remembered that Hu Mengdie had gotten together with Qi Haoyu during their second year of high school. If that were the case, then there was a huge problem!
"Forget him! I forbid you from even thinking about him! If you're with him, I'll break your legs this time! You have to be with Li Zhuangsheng, there's no other option!"

Mr. Hu gritted his teeth in hatred, his words filled with ferocity and threat.

Actually, he originally wanted to communicate with his daughter as much as possible, but when Qi Haoyu was mentioned, his already irritable state of mind exploded instantly!
If he had to choose the man he hated most in his life, it would undoubtedly be Qi Haoyu.

This hatred even surpasses that of Zhang Xu, who abandoned his wife and children.

His eldest daughter, whom he had poured his heart and soul into raising for so many years, was ruined because of Qi Haoyu.

If his youngest daughter's rebellious and degenerate behavior made him lose face, at least Hu Mengdie got into a top-tier university, which brought him some glory.

The two years after Hu Mengdie graduated were the darkest time of his life, a nightmare!
He kept his head down every day, never went out for drinks or parties with old friends, and didn't dare to greet acquaintances, feeling that every old friend was secretly laughing at him.

They mocked him for not being able to have a son, mocked his youngest daughter for being rotten, and mocked his eldest daughter, whom he had once been proud of, for being rotten as well.

His life was a complete failure.

And the person most responsible for all this disgrace is Qi Haoyu.

Although Hu Mengdie didn't say anything, her father knew very well that the reason was that there were problems in her relationship with the other party.

"Why!"

Hearing her father's resolute words, Hu Mengdie, already feeling wronged and bitter, couldn't help but grit her teeth.

She didn't have high expectations for Qi Haoyu at this moment; she was simply curious and felt a little fondness for him after learning that he was her first love from high school. Her current resistance stemmed from her father's approval and choice of Li Zhuangsheng.

Mr. Hu was furious, thinking that Hu Mengdie was still thinking about Qi Haoyu. He roared desperately, "There's no reason why. It's impossible for you and that guy surnamed Qi. Don't embarrass me!"

Hu Mengdie was furious: "Do you really want me to be with Li Zhuangsheng, to sleep with him?"

"Yes, that's it! You'd better give me a grandson this year! Even if you're capable!"

Hu Mengdie's lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face. She was utterly desperate at that moment.

Her father had taught her since she was a child that a girl's purity was the most important thing, but now even though she was vilifying herself with such words, all she got in return was her father's indifference.

She would rather have received two slaps from her father.

"I don't want to!" Hu Mengdie's voice trembled as her suppressed emotions finally erupted, along with her defiance. "I'd rather die than be with him!"

Mr. Hu was furious and raised his hand high to slap her.
