Chapter 236 The Tragedy of a Dancer (19)
In a moment of desperation, Zhou Fei grabbed Xia Mingzhu and hugged her tightly.
Xia Mingzhu struggled, making a move to push Zhou Fei away.
"Brother Zhou already thinks I'm a scheming woman, so why is he still coming to find me?"
Her eyes glistened with crystal-clear tears; the sight of her was enough to break the heart of anyone with a soft heart.
Having harbored ulterior motives before, Zhou Fei suppressed the budding desire in his heart upon seeing Xia Mingzhu's pitiful state.
"I was so angry at what your sister said about us!"
"I only said those harsh words to you in a moment of panic. Mingzhu, please forgive me this time, okay?"
In their previous interactions, Zhou Fei had always maintained a superior position due to Xia Mingzhu's intentional or unintentional attempts to please him. This was the first time he had humbled himself and spoken to her.
"I've never blamed you, Brother Zhou! I'm just heartbroken that fate is playing such a cruel trick on us!"
Seeing Zhou Feiken lower his head, Xia Mingzhu softened her tone.
It wasn't that she was unwilling to act like a typical young lady, it was just that now was really not a good time to be coy!
She's still waiting to win over Zhou Fei and marry into the Zhou family to become a young mistress!
"But now that Brother Zhou is my sister's fiancé, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet like this anymore!"
Xia Mingzhu lowered her eyes, her voice growing increasingly low, her face filled with desolation and helplessness.
The thought that he would really have to cut off all contact with Xia Mingzhu, just as she had said, made Zhou Fei feel a sharp pain in his heart.
"Your sister and I were betrothed because our parents were confused at the time. Now it's the Republic of China, and people value freedom of marriage. My marriage to your sister is invalid!"
Xia Mingzhu looked up, her eyes blurry with tears, "Is what Brother Zhou said true? Or is he just trying to fool me?"
"If you don't believe me, I'll talk to my parents in the next few days and tell them to break off the engagement with us immediately."
Hearing Zhou Fei say this, Xia Mingzhu could hardly contain her joy.
She gritted her teeth, "But wouldn't that be unfair to my sister?"
"If I had known that Brother Zhou was my future brother-in-law, I definitely wouldn't have..."
At this point, Xia Mingzhu lowered her head again.
Zhou Fei cupped her face in his hands, "How can you blame yourself? Blame God, fate is cruel!"
Hearing Zhou Fei say this, Xia Mingzhu finally stopped crying and started laughing.
"Brother Zhou, you're so kind!"
Zhou Fei smiled and affectionately pinched her nose.
"Leave this to me, you don't need to worry!"
After saying that, the two embraced again.
Compared to their relaxed and romantic atmosphere, the Zhou family's home was a world apart.
As the time drew closer, Xia Tianyao became increasingly irritable.
Even the smallest thing can trigger his emotions at any time.
With the deadline for Brother Biao to inform him fast approaching, Xia Mingwei still hasn't given him any news. What should he do?
After much deliberation, he decided to confront Xia's mother.
"Mother, I was wrong! I did hide something from you before, but now, only you can save me!"
Xia Tianyao knelt on the ground, hugging his mother and crying.
Xia's mother had already noticed his unusual behavior, so she wasn't too surprised at the moment.
She reached out to help Xia Tianyao up, saying, "You! You're a piece of my flesh and blood, how could I not know you?"
"What is it? Get up first and we'll talk!"
Xia Tianyao was still clear in his heart about what he had done wrong this time, and he did not listen to his mother's words and get up.
"Mom, actually, I asked the family for money not to go abroad to study, but to pay off my debts."
"Pay off the debt?"
Hearing Xia Tianyao say this, Xia's mother frowned in confusion.
Xia Tianyao's family never lacked food or clothing, and because he was the only male in the family, all resources were given to him first.
Just in the last few years, his family has given him several dollars in pocket money every month.
Where was he doing?
Can you incur debts outside?
