Chapter 1134 - Like a Nightmare
1134 Like a Nightmare
Zhai Hua had let down their relationship badly!
“Ah Wei, don’t cry. Mom feels extremely upset when seeing you cry. Do you want to be with Zhai Hua very badly?” When her son’s voice changed, Wei De’s mother could not bring herself to be harsh. “If you still wish to be together with that woman, I will support you even though I dislike her. I did not use the money that you gave to me previously at all. I saved them. Tomorrow morning, I will get your dad to make a trip to the city to transfer all the money to you. Don’t be anxious. A stubborn woman would eventually succumb to a persistent man. You succeeded in the past. You will definitely be able to do so now.”
She did not really believe that the world had changed so quickly.
Zhai Hua was a ‘second-hand good’ who had dated another man for a few years. Would someone be willing to take over?
Certainly, Zhai Hua was not Ah De’s woman yet. However, how many people would believe these words?
When the time came whereby no one wanted to be with Zhai Hua, she would wait and see if those people in the Zhai family could still be so persistent. She did not believe that they would rather let Zhai Hua be left on the shelves instead of letting Ah De marry Zhai Hua.
Once Zhai Hua entered the Wei family, she would take her time settling scores with Zhai Hua the same way that Zhai Hua made things difficult for Ah De.
Wei De’s mother disliked and looked down badly on Zhai Hua, this daughter-in-law. She was determined to have her way.
“Mom, don’t worry. I won’t give up so easily.” If he were to have a clean break with Zhai Hua and watch another man marry her, his entire life would be over.
He could not return to the army and he could not continue in his business either. Wei De had given much thought to his life. He had always known that after leaving Zhai Hua, he only had two options, which was to return to his hometown to be a farmer or to remain in Ping Cheng to do manual jobs.
Even if he could not become an army officer or a boss, Wei De also did not wish to become a coolie.
He did not wish to bow his head to destiny. He had to continue to target Zhai Hua, make Zhai Hua agree to be with him again, and marry him.
Wei De heard that the entire Zhai family had moved to the capital because Zhai Yaohui had been deployed to the capital.
Wei De was both happy and anxious.
He was happy that the status of the Zhai family was higher now that Zhai Yaohui had been deployed to the capital.
Naturally, the better the situation of the Zhai family, he would receive more help after he became the son-in-law of the family.
He was anxious and on fire because the qualities of the Zhai family was too good. Yes, Zhai Hua was not young anymore. She was not gentle and also a tomboy. In addition, she had dated a man for a few years.
Although he heard his mother shun Zhai Hua so much over the phone, Wei De was well aware that given the qualities of the Zhai family, many people were willing to be their son-in-law. This was despite the fact that Zhai Hua had broken up decisively with someone after one romantic relationship. Even if Zhai Hua was married and divorced, people would still be willing to marry and protect her like she was a precious gem and treasure.
If he was late in going to Beijing to woo Zhai Hua, perhaps this woman who should have been his wife would really become another man’s wife tomorrow.
Once he received the money that his family had sent him, with a strong desire to succeed, Wei De took the train to the capital without further consideration.
After he arrived in the capital, Wei De could not get used to many things there. His heart ached so much that he wanted to return to Ping Cheng.
He did not expect that the cost of living in the capital was so high.
He could not bear to pay the price of staying in the hotel even for one night.
This was going to be a long battle. He only rented an inn with a space that was only enough for him to turn his body, but the rent was already shockingly expensive. The same commodity in Ping Cheng was also more expensive in the capital. He was burning banknotes with every meal that he took outside.
Initially, Wei De still believed that he would certainly be able to woo Zhai Hua back before he finished spending the sum of money given to him by his mother.
Now, Wei De was not so confident.
In the past, Zhai Hua was so easy to appease. Zhai Hua would be so happy when Wei De gave her gifts that cost only a few yuan.
This time, Wei De dared not woo Zhai Hua with such perfunctory means. He was thinking of giving her some flowers or accessories.
When he found out more, he realized that he could not afford them.
Any gift that he had his eyes on simply cost more than one month of this rent.
One month of his rent would be gone after buying a few bouquets of flowers.
Not to mention that Wei De was also a living being. He had to eat and drink. When miscellaneous added up, Wei De’s expenditure alone was not small. He had no jobs either. There were only expenses and no earnings.
Despite having been a big boss before, Wei De had to count his pennies and tighten his belt when he arrived in the capital.
Wei De felt that he was miserable enough to be in such dire straits. To his surprise, he saw with his own eyes that Zhai Hua really dated some messy and wild man outside despite having just broken up with him. She was being unfaithful. A few days later, he was covered by a gunny sack and beaten up harshly.
Wei De had been a soldier. As such, he was also good at fighting.
However, he was outnumbered by fighting experts. Otherwise, Wei De would not be in such a miserable state.
When he was being beaten up, Wei De cleverly curled and shrank his body to cover up all his important body parts.
Fortunately, the other party only intended to teach him a lesson. They targeted the body parts which would cause him pain but avoided all the important body organs. The other party did not intend to take his life.
After the beating, Wei De was discovered and sent to the hospital by a passerby. He lay in the hospital for two days.
When he was in the hospital, Wei De was in great physical pain. When the doctor said that he was fine and could be discharged, Wei De felt his heart ache as soon as they calculated his medical fees.
The money that he could use to live in his hometown for a year was gone within a month in the capital!
Looking at the money in his pocket, which was getting less and less, and failing to talk to Zhai Hua, Wei De was dealt a great blow. He was in utter despair.
He did not manage to make Zhai Hua come back to him in Ping Cheng. Now, it was even more difficult to woo Zhai Hua back in the capital.
Looking at the prosperous capital, Wei De felt very bleak in his heart. He kept feeling that his life should not be like that.
Clearly, he had covered up many things well. Zhai Hua had never suspected him after being with him for so long. The people in the hometown had never betrayed him either.
According to his plan, Zhai Hua would definitely not know that he had organized a banquet and married a wife in his hometown before. She would not find out the truth that Wei Wei was, in fact, his son and not his nephew.
As such, as long as Zhai Hua’s heart was with him, the Zhai family would eventually agree to let him marry Zhai Hua regardless of whether they liked him.
After he became the Zhai family’s son-in-law, his progress in the army would definitely become better and better. Gradually, he would become a senior officer in the army.
Everyone in the hometown would feel proud of him. He would also raise Wei Wei and be husband and wife with Zhai Hua for life. He was destined to take an extraordinary path. He should be from the upper social class!
Why was there such a huge gap between reality and his ambition?
Why did he feel that his imagination should be the reality and everything that he was facing now was like a nightmare?
