After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

"You do have the right not to allow it, so will you give up on me? If you don't want to be with me, or if you think I'm a bad person, I respect your choice."

Suddenly turning her head to stare into Bai Yu's eyes, Murong Liyue glared at him fiercely and said, word by word.

"you dare."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl began to struggle. Even though the handcuffs and leg irons were impossible to open, she still struggled to pull her hands out of the handcuffs.

Upon seeing Murong Liyue's self-harming behavior, Bai Yu immediately reached out and pressed down on her hands, hurriedly saying...

"I will never abandon you again. I am only respecting your choice. As far as I am concerned, if you are not willing to leave me, then I am destined not to leave you."

Looking intently into Murong Liyue's eyes, Bai Yu said the same thing to the other girls.

His behavior was still no different from that of a scumbag, but he really didn't want to be a scumbag anymore.

That's just how life is. Sometimes the path you take isn't as easy as you imagine, and sometimes you don't even choose the path you want to take.

"I want to see them."

A cold voice came from behind, and Murong Liyue clearly regained her composure, but this sentence caught Bai Yu off guard.

Bai Yu was somewhat prepared that this girl wanted to meet the other girls, but she didn't expect that this girl would be the one to bring it up first.

Seeing her earnest gaze, Bai Yu released her hands and feet, and replied while putting on her clothes with her back to him.

"Even if you don't say it, I will still arrange for you to meet when school starts. I just hope that you will not hate each other and will not have any arguments with each other. Losing either of you would be fatal to me, more painful than death."

Bai Yu spoke softly, but the determination in her words was profound.

Murong Liyue could tell that whichever of them had an accident, Bai Yu was destined to be the next to suffer an accident.

Of course, Bai Yu said this to everyone, firstly to prevent them from doing anything underhanded, and secondly because she really meant what she said.

After finishing her speech, Bai Yu hurriedly opened the door and left.

Watching his departing figure, Murong Liyue's eyes were filled with resentment and hatred.

She was unwilling to accept that Bai Yu had to share with others, and she resented that Bai Yu had also chosen the other people.

All of this was something she couldn't easily accept. She even started thinking about what she could do in private after meeting the girls to make Bai Yu hate them and choose to leave on her own.

Bai Yu could anticipate all of Murong Liyue's intentions because he knew that Murong Liyue was a possessive, meticulous, and assertive woman.

However, while Murong Liyue possessed remarkable qualities, she knew she loved Bai Yu deeply, but she underestimated the fact that the other women's love for Bai Yu was no less than hers.

After leaving the company building, Bai Yu took a taxi home.

He didn't go back to Lin Ying or Si Yu, but instead chose to go back to his own home to face his parents.

Of course, the more important thing is to discuss Su Rongxue's wedding with her parents.

Chapter 164 Meeting Preparations

It takes more than an hour to get home by taxi. Although it takes a long time, Bai Yu is probably used to taking taxis and now has no desire to take the subway and waste more time going around in circles.

Moreover, he didn't have much time to waste.

As soon as I returned to my apartment complex and took the elevator to my front door, I saw the familiar brown-black security door. This was the home I had lived in since I was a child, but at this moment it felt strangely unfamiliar.

He reached out and gently knocked on the door. The heavy security door made a very soft sound, but he could still hear footsteps approaching the door. The footsteps were so familiar. Was it his mother?

Kata~

The door was opened, and what I saw next was my mother wearing an apron, her hair tied up, and holding a spatula.

"mom."

Bai Yu called out softly, but for some reason, she felt a sense of unfamiliarity when calling her mother this time.

Seeing her son's dazed expression upon returning home, Bai's mother couldn't help but laugh and scold him.

"What are you doing standing at the door? Acting as a door god?"

After saying that, he reached out and slapped Bai Yu on the thigh, and then said...

"I thought you hadn't come back yet. Did you secretly settle down somewhere or something?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu smiled wryly and stepped into her familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar home.

"I don't have a mom, but school is about to start, so can't I come back for a visit?"

"Oh, it's not like your mom is the one who told you not to come back."

Looking at her mother's back, Bai Yu recalled the scene of being kicked out of her home in her previous life.

At that time, my parents really wouldn't let me come back, and it was because I made a huge and immoral mistake.

However, none of these things will happen again in this life, nor is it necessary or possible to make them happen again.

"Mom, is Dad home?"

"Yes, I'm lying in my room playing on my phone."

After saying that, Bai Ma went into the kitchen.

Upon seeing her mother enter the kitchen, Bai Yu quickly walked towards the master bedroom.

Arriving at the room door, I saw my dad lying on the bed playing on his phone. The door was half open.

Hearing the phone ringing loudly, playing the most classic attention-grabbing video from the family group chat, Bai Yu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Dad, what are you looking at so intently?"

Turning his head towards the door, Bai's father immediately sat up when he saw Bai Yu's figure, waving and beckoning him over.

"What's wrong, Dad?"

He walked over with a questioning expression.

Upon reaching the bedside, Bai's father patted the bed to signal him to sit down before speaking.

"When did you get a girlfriend? I'm not trying to be mean, but I think Si Yu is a great girl. Her family is well-off, and she doesn't have parents yet. Wouldn't we be closer to your parents then? How come you're suddenly getting married to that... Su something? That's such a bombshell."

Bai Yu could understand his parents' thoughts. After all, the two of them were mainly worried that, besides not knowing what kind of person Su Rongxue was, they were also afraid that if he married this girl, who was not a good match for him, his family would look down on him.

Unlike Si Yu, who lives alone and becomes part of the family after marriage, Si Yu doesn't need to worry about others' opinions.

However, there are some things Bai Yu cannot say, nor is it possible for her to say them. After all, her parents have very strong traditional values, and she will not expose the conflict between her values ​​and theirs.

"Sister Siyu, there's no need to consider anything. Actually, Su Rongxue's family is quite good. There's only her mother in her family, no one else. I initially thought marriage was too early, but they've arranged everything for me. I don't want anything and they're even giving me money. It's just that the time is a bit tight. If I'm still being picky, that would be a bit unreasonable. Don't you think so?"

Snapped!

A slap landed on Bai Yu's back, and Bai's father frowned as he analyzed the situation very seriously.

"They're in such a rush, and they've taken care of everything for you. Tell me, is there really such a thing as a free lunch? Think about it, to put it bluntly, what if that girl is messing around outside and then you have to take responsibility?"

Although her father's analysis was correct, Bai Yu knew Su Rongxue best; she could never be that kind of girl.

As for the saying "a pie falls from the sky," it's not really a pie falling from the sky. When this girl is unhappy, she acts like a schizophrenic, and she's not perfect.

If someone really does mess things up, it's definitely their own fault, because they know best what they've done.

“Dad, your analysis is not wrong, but I know Su Rongxue very well. In fact, we have been dating for quite a while, at least three or four years.”

"Huh? I heard you two were college classmates. Did you know each other in high school or middle school? You're dating early, huh?"

Looking at her father's ambiguous smile, how could Bai Yu possibly tell him that this was calculated by adding up several lifetimes?

"Hey Dad, you know our relationship isn't the kind of whirlwind marriage you're thinking of, and puppy love... that doesn't count anymore."

Pointing his finger at Bai Yu's forehead, Bai's father smiled and playfully scolded her.

"Forget it, your parents won't interfere too much with your love life. It's an era of free love now, so as long as you like it, that's the best."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu smiled and nodded, then took out her phone and said to her father with a smile.

“Dad, this is Su Rongxue’s mother’s WeChat. You two should add her. They said they plan to get married during the Chinese New Year period, and I think you should talk to her and discuss it. After all, marriage is a big deal.”

After taking the phone from Bai Yu, Bai's father glanced at Su Rongxue's mother's profile picture and username, then smiled and nodded, saying as he spoke.

"Hey, is this profile picture of a foreigner? Is Su Rongxue's mother a foreigner? She looks quite young and pretty."

Seeing her dad's beaming face, Bai Yu was genuinely afraid that her mom would see this, or her dad might have to sleep on the sofa.

"Su Rongxue's mother is a foreigner, she is of mixed race. I showed you her photos last time, didn't I? Isn't she a very well-behaved girl?"

"Hey, when I first saw her, I thought she was a middle school student. A middle school student with silver hair? She didn't look like a good kid at all. But now that I'm hearing what you're saying, that girl does look petite and well-behaved. My first impression of her is pretty good."

Nodding, Mr. Bai still approved of Su Rongxue, even though it was only his first impression from the photos.

However, my first impression of Su Rongxue was her personality; she was obedient and well-behaved.

Bai Yu had never thought about marrying Su Rongxue before, because it seemed so far away. But now, the distance between them was so close.

I used to think that the distance between the two of us was like parallel lines. Although we would get closer and closer, there would never be a result. Now, the parallel lines have connected and become a point.

"Dad, when you add Su Rongxue's mother, you can discuss the time and place for my wedding with Su Rongxue. Su Rongxue and I have no objections; I like her very much."

"You really like her, but does she like you back?"

Upon hearing her father's words, Bai Yu rolled her eyes and retorted irritably.

"Why would someone marry me if they don't like me? Are they after our family's wealth or our abundance?"

"Hey kid, what are you saying? Can't you just like your mom's cooking?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu glanced at the doorway and saw her mother standing there smiling.

"Mom, maybe he only married me because you're a good cook, don't you think?"

"Hey, those two guys are here for dinner."

After saying that, Aunt Bai smiled and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Bai Yu and her father also got up and prepared to go eat.

The sight of the family enjoying themselves so happily made Bai Yu feel both joyful and somewhat sad.

I'm happy to be able to be with my parents again, laughing and chatting happily, but I'm sad that I really can't keep their promise of lifelong fidelity.

However, he will definitely stick to his word until the very end; he is absolutely able to do it, and he must do it.

After entrusting the matter of her marriage with Su Rongxue to her parents, Bai Yu was able to finally relax a little.

As for whether her parents could delay the process a little longer, Bai Yu wasn't very confident.

Because Su Rongxue's mother definitely has a way of getting her parents to be willing to abide by her time and agreements.
