Chapter 306  : Chapter 284: Proposing Again (Monthly ticket 900+ update)

Yu Minglang’s arm, still wrapped around Hai Zhao, was sprayed with beer.

Disgusted, he grabbed a tissue to wipe it off. “You don’t have any foot-and- mouth disease or something that could infect me through droplets, do you?” “Cough, cough!” Hai Zhao was still coughing.

It took a while before he finally patted his chest.

“I almost choked to death. If I die young, it’ll be your fault — Yu Minglang, you didn’t propose to her, you just directly told her you were going to her house? And you’re taking your mother with you?”

This story was simply the best of the year!

He couldn’t take it anymore; he had to organize his thoughts into a text message and send it out to his friends; Hai Zhao almost died of laughter.

Yu Minglang watched him laughing like a madman, frowning.

“Is it that funny?”

He was serious. Going there with his parents, wasn’t that enough to show his sincerity?

Should he have also taken his grandfather? But his grandfather was so old…

Hai Zhao hammered the table, laughing uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face.

“Your girlfriend, the top student goddess, didn’t break up with you?”

“How could she possibly break up with me!”

Yu Minglang couldn’t bear to hear the word “break up” now. He became anxious whenever it was mentioned.

It felt like a combination of embarrassment and anger that only got worse the more it was described.

Seeing his dark face, Hai Zhao tried to keep a straight face, but ended up bursting out laughing.

“If you keep going crazy, I’ll beat you!” Yu Minglang waved his fist, and Hai Zhao closed his mouth.

But his cheeks were still puffed up with laughter. After absorbing this joke, he finally gave Yu Minglang some advice.

“You can’t do this. By doing this, you’re risking being single for life. You have to be more sincere.”

“How is this insincere? If she weren’t a bit young, I would have wanted her to experience more of a young person’s life, and would have married her directly.”

With marriage as the premise of their relationship, this was a promise the two of them had made when they got together.

Under the influence of Father Yu, the children of the Yu family were instilled with the idea that a man should treat his wife well — except for Yu Er.

However, Boss Yu and Youngest Brother Yu were absolute believers in this theory.

When Boss Yu met his wife, he was already a small boss with a bit of success in his career. He never bought anything for anyone he was casually dating, and people said he was stingy.

But after meeting Eldest Sister-in-law, they got married in a flash, and from then on, he bought things like there was no tomorrow.

Eldest Sister-in-law wasn’t materialistic and would sometimes advise her husband against buying so much, but she couldn’t stop him. Boss Yu always insisted on buying things, and eventually, she became numb to it and let him do what he wanted.

Under Father Yu’s influence, the men of the Yu family had a strange mentality: Spending money on their wives was honorable, but spending it on other women was disgraceful. Yu Minglang was clearly deeply influenced by this idea, and when he first met Xiao Mei, he wanted to bring her under his wing and treat her well.

Marriage was the most important thing to the men of the Yu family — except for Yu Er.

Hai Zhao was left speechless by his righteous indignation.

“You think getting married is good for the young lady, but what does she think?”

“Of course she thinks the same. Why would I be dating her if we weren’t going to get married? Great people have said that all love affairs without the goal of marriage are abnormal, like you!”

So far, Comrade Yu Minglang felt wronged beyond words, his heart burning with passion, while Xiao Qian was helpless like the moonlight shining in the gutter.

“Fine, you say I’m abnormal. But at least I’m a man who can make girls happy, right? Yu Minglang, you’re sincere, but you’re disliked!”

Yu Minglang slammed the table, “Who dislikes me? My Xiao Mei likes me! You wait, I’ll call and prove it!”

Digging out his phone, he glanced at it and pretended to say,

“There’s no signal here.”

Hai Zhao was almost grinning behind his ears.

“You’ve been coming here for a while now, don’t you know there’s no signal in the home appliance store?”

The home appliance store had signal interference, and the reception in the back was often poor. Yu Minglang was clearly scared and didn’t dare to make the call.

“Honestly, for a man to have lived as you have, I should give you a few sympathetic laughs, but now I pity your girlfriend — the little beauty.”

It was quite pathetic to be stuck with someone like Yu Minglang, who didn’t even know how to propose.

“Why do you pity her? She’s going to marry me in the future, and I’ll do everything I can to make her better than any other woman!”

He certainly had this determination to strive for.

Hai Zhao made a nauseating vomiting gesture, “Say that to her, not to me! If you say this when you propose, how could she hang up on you?”

“You mean, she’s unhappy because I didn’t say anything nice? Yu Minglang shook his head in denial, “Impossible, my Xiao Mei isn’t that kind of girl. She’s very rational and mature.”

“What does this have to do with maturity and rationality? 99% of girls hope to be sincerely proposed to by the man they love. You want her to be that 1%, and you even use ‘maturity’ to restrain her. Seriously, Yu Minglang, if you ever get dumped, I wouldn’t be surprised at all.”

Yu Minglang let out a sound, suddenly enlightened.

So that’s why Xiao Mei hung up on him.

Yes, now that you mention it, it makes sense!

If Xiao Mei was really angry, she would have just taken off the battery and ignored him. But she picked up three times in a row, and on the last one, it rang once and then hung up…

Feeling a cold sweat from the memory, Yu Minglang pretended to be calm and took a swig from the beer bottle, suppressing his anxiety as he asked,

“So, if I didn’t get it right three times in a row, and the last time it only rang once before hanging up, what should I do?”

“It’s simple. Give her all your money.”

“So she’ll forgive me and not be angry anymore?” Most of his money was with her anyway. Last time they fought, Xiao Mei said she made more than ten thousand yuan in stocks. How capable this daughter-in-law was!

“No, this is compensation for the emotional distress you caused her. After you pay her, just commit harakiri. Seriously, you can get away with this once or twice, but you actually did it three or four times! No woman would want you, especially a young lady with looks, intelligence, and a successful financial background — by the way, I heard her family got their house demolished. She’s still a rich second-generation. Yu Minglang, what do you have besides being a little dumb?”

Even Hai Zhao knew that Yu Minglang’s family background was astonishing, but his father was a nearly unfathomable old man who, despite his successful career, didn’t provide any of his children with the convenience of connections.

So without his family background, Yu Minglang was just a good-looking, hardworking man. It was quite normal for Xiao Qian to not be interested in him.

Especially since he couldn’t even figure it out after four attempts; even an ordinary girl would have been angry by now.

Although this was a sad story, Hai Zhao couldn’t help but want to laugh. He wasn’t trying to take pleasure in Yu Minglang’s misfortunes, but who else was to blame for digging his own grave?
