Newlyweds got the wrong marriage certificate, and his sweet, delicate wife is experiencing morning s
Chapter 14 I'm married now
As soon as the two walked out of the school gate, the girl with the ponytail immediately took out her phone to send a message to her roommate.
Guess who I saw!
[It's Senior Jiang and Senior Li! The campus belle and heartthrob of Peking University back in the day! My ultimate CP!!!]
[I never thought that after all these years, our old on-screen couple would still have after-sales support.]
After venting her frustrations in the dorm group chat, she switched to the background, opened the school forum, and started typing away.
……
Li Yunqi took Jiang Momo to a coffee shop in the northern part of the university town.
Jiang Momo stood at the entrance of the coffee shop, recognizing the shop despite the changed signboard.
It's the place the two of them used to frequent.
It was also the shop where Jiang Momo had worked part-time and met Li Yunqi's mother.
Li Yunqi smiled and helped Jiang Momo open the door.
"You remember this shop, right? We used to love coming here."
How could I not remember?
The shop's signature drink is the owner's homemade Jasmine Flowing Cloud Coffee, which costs fifty yuan a cup.
This kind of rich kid is nothing to him; he likes him very much and says he looks a lot like Jiang Momo.
But it was something Jiang Momo couldn't afford at the time.
However, Li Yunqi knew nothing about these things. He didn't know how long Jiang Momo had to save up for just one date with him, or even how she had to squeeze in time during her lunch break to tutor.
Jiang Momo suppressed her anger and followed them inside.
Forget it, let's make things clear sooner rather than later and then break up.
Let's never see each other again.
The coffee shop was crowded, and the two couldn't find seats, so they had to sit in a corner.
Fortunately, the environment in this corner is quite nice; it's by the window, and there are lilies of the valley blooming beautifully by the window.
Clusters of milky-white flowers hang upside down from the branches, swaying gently in the breeze.
"sit."
Li Yunqi helped Jiang Momo create space.
The staff came over quickly, and Li Yunqi ordered her a signature drink with sugar.
"No, thank you. I don't want any."
She didn't want to waste any more time here; she just wanted to get to the end of it.
"I remember you used to love drinking this, Momo. Have some, we can chat."
Li Yunqi put down the menu, his expression softening considerably, seemingly believing that Jiang Momo was willing to come with him and that there was still a possibility between them.
"You've got it wrong, Senior Li. I don't like coffee."
That's because that's the only coffee she could afford with her living expenses at that shop.
When Jiang Momo grew up in the slums, she had never heard of coffee being a high-class commodity.
Her daily drinking water consisted either of murky water flowing from old taps, which she filtered again and again, or of water she had to fetch from a very far place.
The bucket was huge; it would take Jiang Momo an hour to carry it home by herself.
She goes once a week, which is enough for her and her grandmother if they use the money.
Later, when they came to the city, Grandma treated Jiang Momo very well, but she couldn't bear to spend money on these unnecessary things, so she saved Grandma money.
It wasn't until she got together with Li Yunqi that she stepped into such a luxuriously decorated coffee shop and ordered a signature drink on the recommendation of the staff.
That was the first time Jiang Momo had ever drunk it; it was very bitter.
So she added sugar.
From then on, every time the two of them came, she would order the signature dish with sugar.
It's respectable enough, at least in front of Li Yunqi, so it won't be too embarrassing.
And then...
Jiang Momo recalled that in the second spring of her relationship with Li Yunqi, her grandmother's condition worsened. In addition to tutoring, she took a part-time job at a coffee shop to balance her studies.
She gets paid nine yuan an hour and comes for three hours every day.
Wiping tables and grinding coffee, I marinated myself in the coffee stains and crumbs behind the counter.
The first thing Li's mother said to her when she came was, "This coffee is so cheap. Yunqi only comes to drink it on a whim. Once he loses interest, he'll just throw it away."
It's about coffee.
It was her too.
So she never drank coffee again.
"I can't remember wrong."
Li Yunqi persisted in his own opinion and insisted on ordering food for Jiang Momo.
Jiang Momo's expression had become impatient.
She was dressed as a hostess, which was very eye-catching and made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Li Yunqi, I've come here today to make things clear to you. Back then..."
"Why did you break up with me back then?" When this topic came up, Li Yunqi's gentle demeanor towards Jiang Momo cracked somewhat.
He had thought about it for many years and had countless guesses in his mind.
In the dead of night, I dissect myself again and again, trying to find all my shortcomings.
He wanted to tell Jiang Momo that he could change.
"I was participating in a competition at the time, and I received your breakup message right after I came out."
"Momo." He became agitated, reaching out to press down on Jiang Momo's hand, which was resting on the table. Jiang Momo quickly pulled away. "Is it because I haven't spent enough time with you? Or am I not gentle enough? What did I do wrong? Please tell me."
Don't abandon me.
In the end, Li Yunqi's words almost turned into a plea.
He still couldn't get over it.
But did Jiang Momo really manage to leave?
She and Li Yunqi were in the past, but those harsh words, the repeated rumors that couldn't be clarified, and the card that Li's mother threw in her face...
And it was never forgotten from her memory.
In fact, Jiang Momo had also asked herself if her breakup with Li Yunqi was just because Li's mother came to cause trouble.
No, it is not.
Even before that, she had been living under immense pressure for a long time.
She was indeed the most beautiful girl at Peking University and the top student in her grade, but she was also the subject of everyone's gossip.
Some people might praise her for her good grades and good looks, but once they find out that she is with Li Yunqi, the tone changes.
The grades might have been bought, the face might have been surgically altered, and the rich kid definitely clung to her relentlessly.
Occasionally when she goes to the library, someone passing by will chuckle and say something:
"Look, it's her who's always out there flirting with rich men."
"No wonder, I knew she was so poor, she had to rely on scholarships every year, how could she possibly afford such a nice necklace?"
The necklace was a gift from Li Yunqi, and in the end, it became the sword that the group of people insisted on stabbing at her with.
Later, she took a part-time job at a coffee shop, and Li Shiqing brought people to cause trouble for her.
He asked her, "Jiang Momo, is it true that if I drink your coffee, I can hook up with a rich guy?"
"Why don't you start a class? I'll definitely promote it for you. We're all your roommates. You can't just become successful and forget about us."
Because of the growing rumors, the school spoke with her once, telling her to be mindful of her conduct and private life, and that if things continued this way, it might affect her chances of receiving scholarships and grants.
At that time, the hospital called to ask for payment of medical bills.
The appearance of Li's mother was merely the last straw that broke the camel's back.
But Li Yunqi knew none of this.
He represented the school in competitions, attended parties for his family's wealthy friends, and occasionally took time to spend with her.
"Li Yunqi".
Jiang Momo snapped out of her reverie. In fact, she couldn't remember many things anymore, but she could never forget the feelings she had at the time.
She pursed her lips, speaking each word carefully.
"I was sorry for breaking up with you back then."
"But I'm married now, so let's just go our separate ways."
