Qian Duoduo got out of the car and saw Eric squatting downstairs smoking from afar.
Eric had originally decided to ignore this woman.
After all, he had already found someone better.
However, for some reason, he suddenly received a call just now saying that he had been fired and that he did not have to go to the company from tomorrow onward.
He called Chen Jiamin, but she didn't pick up.
Helpless, he thought of Qian Duoduo.
At the very least, he had to stabilize Qian Duoduo to ensure that he would live a carefree life in the future.
Eric had some capital to be a freeloader. His height and appearance were very presentable.
He didn't look like he came from the countryside at all.
That was why she didn't suspect him when he cheated her of her money and said that he was a top student.
Qian Duoduo stood where she was and didn't move forward. Eric noticed her at this moment. He got up and ran towards her, carrying two bags in his hands as he ran.
"Duoduo, it's so good to see you! You don't know how afraid I was that you wouldn't want to see me. We..."
They were downstairs. If Qian Fangfang heard him, she would definitely die.
So Qian Duoduo had no choice but to say, "There's a coffee shop nearby. Let's go there and sit down."
Hearing that she wanted to treat him to coffee, Eric felt even more confident.
It seemed that this woman was still reluctant to part with him.
"I'll listen to you." He nodded hurriedly.
In the café, Eric handed two big bags to Qian Duoduo as soon as he entered.
"Duoduo, this is a local specialty that our parents specially sent to you from our hometown."
"Dad and Mom know that you like to eat the flatbread they made themselves. They personally baked these flatbreads for you. They said that if you still like it, they will even make it for you."
After saying that, he opened the bag. Qian Duoduo took a look and saw the unopened bag.
Eric quickly tore open the bag and said, "Look at how thoughtful my parents are. They're afraid that the cookies will be damaged, so they specially bought a packaging bag to wrap them."
Ha, and they even personally baked them?
If Eric hadn't bought this from a wholesale store, she would cut off her head and kick it like a ball.
The bread in the bag was the cheapest. One was only one or two yuan. It was hard and tasteless.
The reason she knew about it was because when she was in school, there was a classmate who had no money and only ate that kind of bread every week. At that time, she was curious and asked her to take some to try.
She could never have any hope for this scumbag.
"I saw the words Zhou's Big Pie printed on the packaging. Isn't Zhou's Big Pie just at the third intersection in front of my company?"
Eric pretended to be calm. "Mom and Dad really baked the bread themselves. If you misunderstand, they'll be sad."
Qian Duoduo looked at him mockingly. This scumbag's acting skills were not bad.
If not for that, she would not have been fooled by him in the past.
For example, he was clearly unemployed, but he insisted that he was a top student from a famous university.
She, on the other hand, foolishly didn't ask for confirmation and just believed it.
Seeing that she was silent, Eric hurriedly put on an affectionate expression.
"Duoduo, let's make up. After being separated from you, I realized that I really can't live without you. Let's start anew. I've already bought a house and paid the down payment. I'll pay the rest of the loan slowly after we get married. You just need to be responsible for the renovation. I'll dote on you and love you well in the future."
"Heh."
Qian Duoduo could not help but laugh coldly.
She didn't expect this scumbag to still be lying at this point.
Bought a house and paid the down payment? How could an unemployed person like him pay?
She remembered that he had been persuading her to sell her house and buy a big house with him.
Fortunately, her brain was not completely flooded with water at that time and she was not completely deceived by him.
Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to find a place to cry.
Eric didn't care about her sneer. He pretended to look at Qian Duoduo affectionately and continued, "Didn't you always say that you wanted to bring me to your house to meet your parents? Let's go for the next two days. Isn't there a banquet? Let's pick another day to hold the banquet, shall we?"
"The banquet has already been arranged," Qian Duoduo said coldly.
"What?" Eric looked at her in surprise. He swallowed and asked, "What do you mean it's already done? How was it done? Could it be that you're going to do it without me?"
Qian Duoduo only looked at him coldly and did not speak.
Eric thought he was right.
He pretended to look guilty. "You've been wronged, Duoduo. You must be very disappointed that I wasn't around at that time. I already know my mistake. I was a b*stard at that time. Please forgive me and let me make it up to you and love you well in the future."
As he spoke, he was about to pull Qian Duoduo's hand.
Qian Duoduo raised her hand to avoid it.
Eric was a little anxious when he saw this.
"Duoduo, are you still angry at me? Can't you forgive me? How about this? As long as you are willing to forgive me, you can hit me and scold me. As long as it can appease you, I can accept whatever you do to me!"
"Maybe you should act in a stage play."
After Eric's heartfelt repentance, he only got this sentence from Qian Duoduo.
"Eric, flowery words can deceive people for a while, but they can't deceive people forever. I won't forgive you because I'm not a fool."
Eric was indignant and secretly gritted his teeth. He didn't expect this woman to be so difficult to talk to.
On the surface, he still looked like he was thinking about Qian Duoduo.
"No matter what, your family has already held a banquet. You're considered married. If the groom doesn't appear, you'll become a joke."
"You don't have to worry about whether I'll become a joke. As for the groom..." She glanced at Eric and continued, "The groom had appeared a long time ago. He appeared at the banquet with me. My parents, family, and friends witnessed our wedding. Although he's poor, he has a job. He's honest and doesn't use flowery words. He doesn't live off a woman!"
"Duoduo, you're lying to me on purpose to make me angry, right?"
Eric didn't believe it at all. In his opinion, this was a story made up by Qian Duoduo.
"There's no need for me to lie to you. Our wedding was witnessed by all our relatives and friends. If you don't believe me, you can ask around."
Eric began to panic.
"That person was hired by you to replace me, right? As long as I come, that person has to get lost, right?"
"Heh, you think too highly of yourself, Eric. I'm serious about marrying him. I'm his wife now, and I have nothing to do with you anymore."
"Do you know what you are saying? Do you know that man? Become his wife? Is he as good to you as I am? Have you forgotten how considerate I have been to you for the past three years?"
The only thing she couldn't deny about Eric was that he had been considerate to her for the past three years.
He could prepare hot milk tea for her on a cold day. When her period came, he would deliver brown sugar ginger tea on time and prepare sanitary pads for her.
She was a person who was easily moved by small details.
If not for this, she would not have been deceived by him for three years.
But now, she had come to her senses.
The milk tea was bought with her money, so were the sanitary pads. Even the brown sugar ginger tea was bought with her money.
The warmth she thought Eric had given her was actually given by herself.
"Feelings can be cultivated slowly. Since we're already married, we'll naturally live well in the future. He's indeed not like you. He's not like you who's full of lies. He's not like you who wants to swindle money from me. Your lies have destroyed the last trace of feelings between us."
Eric's expression changed and he suddenly burst into tears.
"Duoduo, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong, but I did it because I love you. I never thought of cheating you of your money. I just wanted to leave a sense of security between us."
Qian Duoduo looked at Eric and took a deep breath to suppress the complicated emotions in her heart.
After all, they had been together for three years, and their relationship for the past three years was not fake.
However, it was precisely because that relationship was not fake that Eric's current appearance made her heart ache.
She was very glad that she had encountered Chen Shu at the station. If it wasn't for Chen Shu that could solve the problem she faced at that time and make her completely give up on Eric, she might still be deceived by Eric's flowery words.
"The person you should be begging for isn't me, but the rich woman you've recently hooked up with. Only she can give you what you want. As for me, forgive me for being powerless."
A hint of fear flashed across Eric's face, and he hurriedly said, "What rich woman? You've really misunderstood me, Duoduo. I have nothing to do with her. Am I really a man who only knows how to live off a woman in your heart?"
"Yes, in my heart, you're just a freeloader!"
Qian Duoduo was very serious.
Eric was probably provoked by her words. He threw away the flatbread in his hand and said angrily, "Qian Duoduo, do you still have a conscience? When we first got together, we agreed to work hard for the future together and spend the money we earned together. Didn't I just spend the money we earned together? How did it become a meal for you!"
