Capítulo 3: Unexpected Encounter With the Ex
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Why did you bring Xu Yang here?"
Zhao Yuxin's father, Zhao Hai, was surprised to see the two of them coming over.
Previously, it was always Zhao Yulu and Xu Yang who came here. Zhao Hai always had good impressions of Xu Yang. But deep down, Zhao Hai actually hoped that Xu Yang would be Zhao Yuxin's boyfriend.
Xu Yang was impressive in both his approach to things and his way of life. Moreover, Zhao Hai knew Zhao Yuxin had gone through hardships with him since childhood. If she could find a boyfriend as considerate as Xu Yang, it would bring him great joy.
"Dad, we're here to help you with the business!" said Zhao Yuxin. She linked arms with Xu Yang, casually chose a table, and sat down, smiling.
"Yuxin, you two are..."
Watching their behavior, Zhao Hai furrowed his brows. Although he also wished Xu Yang would be Zhao Yuxin's boyfriend, regardless, Xu Yang and Zhao Yulu were already together.
If both of his daughters were fighting for the same man, that would be too melodramatic and something Zhao Hai couldn't accept.
"Dad, Yulu and Xu Yang have broken up. She believes that Xu Yang cannot make her happy, and I've always had feelings for Xu Yang. Maybe it's fate, but we're together now. Moreover, we just got our marriage certificate; we're legally married!"
Just as Xu Yang was about to explain, Zhao Yuxin spoke up first. She didn't want to put pressure on Xu Yang, so she decided to handle it on her own. She even took out the marriage certificate.
"What?" Zhao Hai widened his eyes and exclaimed in shock. In just a few sentences, he was nearly rendered speechless by the situation.
Regarding Zhao Yulu's choice, Zhao Hai wasn't surprised. Zhao Yulu had grown up with her mother, so their personalities were naturally similar—valuing wealth and favoring the rich.
What truly shocked Zhao Hai was that Zhao Yuxin was actually with Xu Yang and had even registered their marriage at lightning speed. Zhao Hai placed a hand on his chest, feeling like his heart couldn't take it.
"Mr. Zhao... I mean, Dad, I'm serious about Yuxin, and marrying her is not on impulse. I'll always love her and treat her well!"
As soon as Xu Yang opened his mouth, he realized he addressed Zhao Hai wrongly and quickly changed it. Not only that, but he also solemnly promised, "Moreover, I will find a suitable time to give Yuxin a grand wedding. I will not let Yuxin suffer any grievances."
"You kids..."
Zhao Hai opened the marriage certificate and sighed helplessly, "Since you've already got the certificate, what more can this old man say? Just make sure you two live well together."
Zhao Yuxin sweetly smiled, "Dad, with your blessings, we'll definitely be happy. Oh, Dad, I've been craving your spicy and sour fish slices."
"You little rascal!" said Zhao Hai. He playfully patted Zhao Yuxin's head and then went to the kitchen.
After the meal, the two of them bid farewell to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai pulled out a worn-out drawer from under the bed and took out a card. He said, "Yuxin, hold on to this card. It has two million in it. It's not much, consider it your dowry from me! Save up and buy your own house. Live well with your future family!"
The money in the card was Zhao Hai's entire savings. He couldn't provide Zhao Yuxin with a mother's love or a comfortable life, so he hoped his savings could at least help Zhao Yuxin.
"Dad!" Tears welled up in Zhao Yuxin's eyes, and her voice choked.
Zhao Yuxin wanted to refuse, but Jaster City was a first-tier city in Neocathai, and with just their salaries, it was nearly impossible to buy a house in a short period. With her dad's savings added to the mix, it would significantly reduce the pressure on Xu Yang.
"Yuxin, you've suffered so much with me all these years. You'll have a good life together with your husband now," said Zhao Hai. He was at ease with his daughter and Xu Yang being together.
Xu Yang nodded and didn't say much. Although he had the support of the system, making money still required time.
Moreover, if Xu Yang said he could come up with enough money to buy a house in a short time, both Zhao Hai and Zhao Yuxin wouldn't believe him. They might even suspect him of doing something illegal to get that kind of money.
"Thank you, Dad!" Zhao Yuxin choked back her emotions, nodding. "Dad, I want to move in and live with Xu Yang. Can we borrow your car?"
"Of course!" Zhao Hai said as he smiled and nodded.
Both of them had their marriage certificates now, so it was only natural for them to live together.
"Thank you, Dad!" Feeling touched, Zhao Yuxin hugged Zhao Hai, then took the car keys and walked out, holding Xu Yang's hand.
Zhao Hai's car was practical and affordable, the classic domestic model Wuling Hongguang, well-suited for business owners like him. It looked quite new, indicating it was a recent purchase.
"Xu Yang, you drive!" said Zhao Yuxin as she handed Xu Yang the car keys.
Before, when Xu Yang was still with Zhao Yulu, they often came to Zhao Hai's shop, and Xu Yang had driven the car.
"Sure!" Nodding, Xu Yang sat in the driver's seat, while Zhao Yuxin took the passenger's seat.
Xu Yang's parents ran a business in the county, mainly related to construction materials, so their vehicle was also a Wuling Hongguang. He was very familiar with this popular car model.
Thirty minutes later, the two of them arrived at Xu Yang's rental apartment. The apartment had a simple design, with just two bedrooms and a living room.
Of course, the main reason was that Xu Yang intended to live in a larger place after successfully proposing to Zhao Yulu. He couldn't bear to rent such a small place in a first-tier city like Jaster City.
"From now on, I'm the mistress of this place," said Zhao Yuxin. She took a deep breath, then moved their luggage into the bedroom and began to organize.
Zhao Yuxin had visited the apartment before, so she was familiar with it. In the master bedroom, there were still many of Zhao Yulu's clothes, all of which Zhao Yuxin sorted out.
"When Yulu has time, I'll ask her to take these clothes away!" said Zhao Yuxin.
"Yes, ma'am." Leaning against the bedroom door, Xu Yang watched as Zhao Yuxin efficiently sorted out the luggage, a smile unconsciously tugging at the corners of his lips.
Previously, Zhao Yulu had also lived in this apartment for a while, but she never bothered to tidy up her clothes or the room. Xu Yang had always been the one to do that.
Comparing that with Zhao Yuxin now, the contrast was stark.
"This time, I didn't misjudge the person." Xu Yang murmured in happiness.
Half an hour later, Zhao Yuxin finished organizing and said, "After such a busy day, how about we go shopping?"
"Yes, ma'am!" Xu Yang nodded.
Soon enough, the two of them arrived at a nearby shopping mall.
Zhao Yuxin picked out a few outfits for Xu Yang.
Originally, Xu Yang wanted to decline since their financial situation had been tight before. Clothes from malls were quite expensive. However, due to Zhao Yuxin's strong insistence, he had no choice but to accept.
Of course, Zhao Yuxin also bought herself a dress and a pair of shoes.
"Do they look good?" Zhao Yuxin asked when she came out from the fitting room. She twirled in front of the mirror, excitement in her eyes as she looked at Xu Yang.
"They look great!" Xu Yang said as he smiled and nodded. "The shoes and dress match really well. You look like a fairy."
"Hehe! I think so too." Zhao Yuxin said. She felt incredibly happy getting praised by Xu Yang.
"Yuxin, Xu Yang, what are you two doing here?"
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from beside them.
Turning towards the source, they saw a young girl dressed elegantly and beautifully, bearing a striking resemblance to Zhao Yuxin.
The girl was followed by a young man in designer clothing. She was none other than Zhao Yulu! And the man beside her was Zhao Yulu's pursuer, a wealthy young man named Chen Guanglei.
