I sell time in the world.

Chapter 88 Auntie, I will try my best
In the cafe.

A middle-aged woman in a cheongsam sat opposite a young man.

The middle-aged woman stretched out her right hand with the jade bracelet, picked up the coffee on the table, and took a sip.

A bright red lipstick mark was immediately left on the coffee cup.

Putting down the coffee cup, the middle-aged woman looked at the boy with a nervous look on his face and spoke slowly.

"Xiao Xie, I know you and my daughter have been in love since college."

"We have been together for five years now, after graduating and working."

"Love in school is wonderful, and I know that, so I have never opposed anything to you."

"But now, you have all graduated, and you should understand the gap between you and our Xiaoli."

"Have you ever thought that given your situation and your family's situation, it's not appropriate for you to be together?"

Xie Xiaodong's face froze, and his hands, which were placed on his knees, clenched his knees tightly.

"Auntie, what do you mean?"

Zhu Lan smiled slightly and said.

"Xiao Xie, I think what I said is simple and straightforward, right?"

"You don't have to ask even though you already know the answer."

"Forget it, Auntie, I'll just say it straight."

"Xiao Xie, you really don't deserve our Xiao Li!"

Seeing that Xie Xiaodong didn't say anything, Zhu Lan continued.

"We are all educated people. We will never do anything that involves physical contact."

"However, I hope that you, Xiao Xie, can have self-awareness and leave our Xiao Li as soon as possible."

"Car? I don't have a car. I don't have a house."

"With your conditions, I can't give you anything."

"You are harming her if you continue to be together."

Hearing this, Xie Xiaodong looked at Zhu Lan with eyes wide open and said in a loud voice.

"Auntie, I will try my best!"

"Help Xiaoli buy a house and a car, we"

Before Xie Xiaodong could finish his words, Zhu Lan interrupted him.

"Work hard? How do you work hard?"

"So what if you graduated from a 985 university?"

"But there are so many college students now, and many of them are working as waiters?"

"Do you think you can afford a car and a house with the support of other people's families?"

"Although our family is not wealthy, we have enough food and clothing."

"The person Xiaoli wants to marry should be of equal status, right?"

"You can't marry your daughter off to help alleviate poverty, right?"

"Xiao Xie, do you think what Auntie said makes sense?"

Xie Xiaodong lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at Zhu Lan opposite him.

His hands, which were originally placed on his knees, were now clenched tightly.

Let your fist turn white and veins bulge.

“That makes sense.”

Listening to Xie Xiaodong's words, Zhu Lan nodded with satisfaction.

"Xiao Xie, if you really love our Xiao Li, then let go?"

Having said that, Zhu Lan moved her arm and took out a bank card from her bag.

After placing it on the table, he pushed it in front of Xie Xiaodong.

"Of course, seeing how well you treated Xiaoli before, our family will not treat you unfairly."

"There's 100,000 yuan in this bank note, the password is the default one, just consider it as compensation to you!"

Zhu Lan stood up and continued.

"I've already paid for the coffee."

"Otherwise, these two cups of coffee will cost you another day's salary!"

"Oh, by the way, I forgot that you just graduated and haven't found a job yet."

Then, she stretched out her long legs and walked out of the cafe.

Xie Xiaodong, sitting on the chair, was still staring at the bank card on the table.

A few minutes later.

Xie Xiaodong suddenly picked up the bank card and threw it to the ground.

Amid the strange looks from the people around him, he took a step forward and walked out of the cafe.

But a few seconds later.

Xie Xiaodong turned around and picked up the bank card on the ground.

After placing the bank card on the front desk, Xie Xiaodong spoke.

"This was dropped by the lady just now. Find a way to return it!"

Walking on the sidewalk beside the road.

Xie Xiaodong's mind was constantly recalling what Zhu Lan had just said.

"Are you really not worthy of our Xiaoli?"

"You can't marry your daughter off to help alleviate poverty, right?"

"If you really love our Xiaoli, then let go?"

"."

As Xie Xiaodong continued to recall, his breathing became faster and faster.

Until finally, a hysterical scream came out of Xie Xiaodong's mouth.

"Money, money!"

"If we don't have money, can we survive in this world?"

Those passers-by who were still walking behind Xie Xiaodong suddenly frowned and slowed down their pace.

However, they didn't say anything, but just cast a sympathetic look at Xie Xiaodong.

In the eyes of passers-by, it is clear that there is another man trapped by money in this world.
at this time.

WeChat message notifications came one after another from Xie Xiaodong's pocket.

Xie Xiaodong took out his cell phone with a bleak expression and took a look at it. One message after another entered his eyes.

Xiaoli: How about we go have Italian food this afternoon?

Xiaoli: I haven't eaten for a long time, I'm a little greedy. Drooling/jpg
Xiaoli: What are you busy with? Why don’t you reply to my message?
Xiaoli: Are you with another woman?
Looking at this information, a smile appeared on Xie Xiaodong's face.

When he opened the virtual keyboard, Zhu Lan's words instantly came back to his mind.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Xie Xiaodong chose to give up.

Just as I was about to put my phone away, it vibrated and rang suddenly.

Looking at the person displayed on the screen, Xie Xiaodong became a little hesitant.

But in the end, he pressed the answer button.

"Hey?"

As soon as Xie Xiaodong finished speaking, a female voice roared from the phone.

"You've become more capable now? Huh?"

"You saw my message and didn't even reply?"

Xie Xiaodong's face froze, and the next moment, he understood why Xiaoli said that.

Xiaoli must have been looking at the screen. After she clicked on the virtual keyboard, she saw "typing" above her name!
Xie Xiaodong did not answer Xiaoli's words. He took a deep breath and said.

"Xiao Li, let's break up!"

"I don't want to be with you anymore"

After saying this, Xie Xiaodong hung up the phone.

He walked towards his rental house like a zombie.

I returned to the rental house and lay on the bed which was only 1.5 meters long.

Xie Xiaodong's eyes were fixed on the yellowing and peeling ceiling above.

bang bang bang~
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.

next second.

A girl's shout came from outside the door.

"Xie Xiaodong, I know you are in there, open the door for me!"

Soon, the girl's voice was heard again.

"What are you looking at? I'm his girlfriend!"

Hearing the voice, Xie Xiaodong just glanced at it casually without any movement.

dong dong dong~
The knock on the door sounded again.

"You're pretending to be dead, aren't you?"

"Good good!"

boom!
As the girl's voice fell, a sound of knocking on the wooden door was heard.

Even the door frame was shaking violently.

Xie Xiaodong sighed, then stood up and walked over helplessly.

As soon as I opened the door, a figure happened to bump in.

Caught off guard, Xie Xiaodong was knocked to the ground.

Despite this, he still quickly hugged the girl in front of him to prevent her from getting hurt.

After falling to the ground, the pain in his back made Xie Xiaodong frown.

Seeing Xie Xiaodong like this, Zhou Lili's eyes were full of heartache. The next second, Zhou Lili's face turned into anger.

She sat directly on Xie Xiaodong and asked questioningly.

"Tell me, why are you breaking up with me?"

"Have I ever done anything to offend you?"

Xie Xiaodong didn't say anything and just lay quietly on the floor.

Zhou Lili continued.

"How dare you not reply to my reading?"

"And you hung up on me?"

"If you can't explain it today, look at me. Look at me."

"See if I can bite you to death!"

Xie Xiaodong looked at Zhou Lili and said calmly.

"I don't deserve you!"

Hearing these words, Zhou Lili's face froze instantly.

On the way here, she had thought of thousands of possibilities.

Xie Xiaodong fell in love with another girl.

Or cheating.

Or it could be like the plot in a TV drama, where someone gets cancer and wants to let go of himself.

But Zhou Lili never thought that Xie Xiaodong would suddenly say such a thing.

After a while.

Zhou Lili thought of something and spoke quickly.

"Have you met my mother?"

Xie Xiaodong remained silent, neither refuting nor admitting.

Zhou Lili nodded to herself and said.

"It must be so!"

"She realized that talking to me wasn't going to work, so she came to you."

"That must be it!"

Having said that, Zhou Lili looked at Xie Xiaodong and said seriously.

"Xie Xiaodong, don't listen to my mother."

"She is a snob. She has been obsessed with money all her life."

Xie Xiaodong shook his head and said.

"Auntie is indeed right."

"I can't give you anything right now"

"Let's just separate like this!"

Looking at Xie Xiaodong's serious expression, Zhou Lili's eyes instantly turned red.

She said quickly.

"no!"

"I won't agree!"

"You said before that you would be with me forever!"

Xie Xiaodong smiled slightly and said.

"I didn't understand anything at that time, so how could I take it seriously?"

"Now I know that being together is not as simple as just saying it!"

Zhou Lili's eyes rolled, and tears immediately rolled down and landed on Xie Xiaodong's body.

"No, it's not."

"not like this"

next second.

Something popped into Zhou Lili's mind.

She moved her arms and began to take off her clothes.

"Xiaodong, we are together now."

"Now that we're together, my mom has nothing to say!"

Looking at the high white drum in front of Zhou Lili, it appeared in front of him.

Xie Xiaodong's face changed and he sat up straight.

He grabbed Zhou Lili's clothes, which had not yet been completely removed, and wrapped her completely.

Xie Xiaodong said loudly.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Zhou Lili's eyes were filled with tears, and even her makeup was smudged by her tears.

She said with a sob in her mouth.

"I'm not crazy!"

"I just want to be with you."

"After we sleep together and conceive a baby, my mother won't let us separate."

Xie Xiaodong's body suddenly stiffened and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xie Xiaodong understood that it was he who hurt Zhou Lili.

But after meeting Zhou Lili's mother Zhu Lan, he realized that he really could not give Zhou Lili anything.

The only thing I can give is the most worthless promise
With a movement of his hands, Xie Xiaodong hugged Zhou Lili in front of him tightly.

The only sound in the room was Zhou Lili's sobbing.

After a while.

Zhou Lili's emotions finally calmed down a lot.

Xie Xiaodong was still holding Zhou Lili tightly in front of him, and he spoke slowly.

"Xiao Li, I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?"

Zhou Lili asked.

"any solution?"

Xie Xiaodong let go of Zhou Lili in front of him and said with a smile.

"Let's separate now. When we get home, tell Auntie that we've broken up."

"This way, she won't keep making things difficult for you."

"Then, I worked hard to find a high-paying job and make money as quickly as possible to buy a car and a house!"

"When I put all this in front of my aunt, she will definitely not stop us anymore."

Looking at Zhou Lili's half-believing and half-doubting expression, Xie Xiaodong continued.

"What? With my ability, you still don't believe me?"

Zhou Lili shook her head and said firmly.

"I believe you!"

"But...How long will it take you?"

"If you always..."

Before she finished her words, Xie Xiaodong said confidently.

"Five years!"

"Five years at most."

"I can definitely get enough for a down payment on a house and buy a car."

"When the time comes, I will drive to your house in style to find you!"

"How about it?"

Zhou Lili nodded hesitantly and said.

"Ok."

After getting Zhou Lili's response, Xie Xiaodong felt relieved and said.

"Put on your clothes now."

"If others see it, it will be too easy for them."

“I haven’t even watched it yet.”

Zhou Lili rolled her eyes and said.

"I just showed it to you, and you didn't want it!"

Xie Xiaodong grinned and said.

"This sacred moment must be saved for the wedding day!"

When Zhou Lili heard this, she was deeply moved and a smile appeared on her face.

Until a dozen minutes later.

After Xie Xiaodong sent Zhou Lili into a taxi, he returned to his rental house.

The confidence and smile on Xie Xiaodong's face were instantly covered by a wave of sadness.

Xie Xiaodong turned on his computer, logged into the recruitment website, and checked the responses to his resumes.

"Hello, Mr. Xie. Your academic qualifications do not meet our company's recruitment standards. Thank you for submitting your resume."

"Hello, sir. Our company is recruiting fresh graduates with three years of work experience. You do not meet our requirements. Sorry."

"Mr. Xie, your academic qualifications and majors are excellent and meet the requirements of our company, but our company is recruiting females. I'm sorry."

"Mr. Xie, I am Huang, the HR of our company. I have read your resume and it perfectly meets the requirements of our company. Are you willing to come to work in our company? The monthly salary is 3500, 25 days' salary, and food and accommodation are not provided."
