Seeing Liu Jie's extreme actions, I felt slightly better. It seems that she still understood me. I felt that even if the whole world doubted me, she would support me unconditionally.
"Cough, cough, dad was just saying it casually. I didn't mean to target anyone. Don't misunderstand." He smiled embarrassedly, feeling a bit awkward.
Those words were unpleasant to hear. "Uncle Liu, I'm on the side. There are some things that should be avoided, right?" I frowned, slightly displeased.
"Brat, we are talking as a family, why are you interrupting? I, Liu Zhanpeng, have been in the business world for many years. Don't think that I can't see through your cunning thoughts.
You dare to say that you and Xiao Jie aren't together for my business? "Liu Zhanpeng glared at me and said angrily.
Perhaps, he was already depressed, and my rebuttal became the fuse, causing his temper to explode. However, those words hurt my pride, and I was speechless.
Liu Zhanpeng added. "Hmph, those relatives of yours are trying to contact me for a mere five hundred thousand. And you, you keep saying that you don't want to be a live-in son-in-law, yet you keep seeing Xiao Jie. You're so shameless!
I'll say it here today. Even if Xiao Jie insists on being with you, I won't care about marriage in the future. Let's see how you guys get married. You're a poor brat with a big temper. I don't believe that I can't deal with you. "
I was stunned. I didn't think that a successful businessman like Liu Zhanpeng would look at me with disdain. We were at the school gate, and it was time for school to end. There were a lot of students watching from the side.
"Ai, although Brother Zhuang is outstanding, the difference between his family and Liu Jie's is too big. It's destined that they won't be a couple."
"Yeah, love without the parents' blessing is destined to be unhappy."
"Hehe, as long as they break up, my chance will come."
"Che, you dinosaur sister. Why don't you look at yourself. Even if Brother Zhuang is blind, he won't like you."
I didn't care about the gossip, but I felt hurt. At this moment, my impression of Liu Zhanpeng plummeted. He did have his own difficulties. Although he gave Liu Jie the best in everything, his point of view in choosing a boyfriend was quite different from Liu Jie.
No wonder Liu Jie was locked up at home during the holidays. It was obvious that she didn't want to have any contact with me. Perhaps Liu Zhanpeng didn't know that Liu Jie and I already had sex. Speaking of which, it was quite a coincidence. Hao Jian's act of drugging her had accidentally benefited me.
I felt like I was insulted. Liu Jie wanted to retort, but I squeezed her hand. She pursed her lips and didn't make a sound. Tu Fangfang immediately signaled me with her eyes, saying that he was stubborn and liked to get stuck in a dead end.
I shrugged and revealed a disdainful smile. I said calmly, "I respect you as an elder and call you Uncle Liu, but don't think too highly of yourself. Yes, you are quite rich, but in my eyes, it's nothing. When I am with Liu Jie, I have never thought about your money. They can be witnesses. Didn't you freeze her bank account?
It doesn't matter. From now on, I will take care of her. Even if we get married, I won't take a single cent from you. I feel disgusted, understand?! "
"Ga."
Liu Zhanpeng wasn't the only one who was shocked. Even the students beside him were dumbfounded. They never thought that I would have such determination and courage.
In all fairness, when I was poor, I thought that it would be good to take advantage of him in the future. Even if I didn't take over his property, it would be good to help him find a good job. But now, he insisted that Liu Jie and I didn't have true feelings for each other. It was a great insult to me. My parents had always taught me that it didn't matter if I was poor, but I must have a backbone. This was more important than anything else.
Now, I had some money. Although I was still poor compared to the Liu family, I dared to pat my chest and say that I didn't need any help from him. Even if something happened to me in the future and I had to beg for food by the roadside, I would never beg Liu Zhanpeng. This was a kind of determination and attitude.
My words had caused quite a commotion.
"Oh my god, is Zhuang Feng stupid? It's obvious that Liu Jie's father is angry, but he still talked back to him. Now he's talking nonsense …"
"Yeah, if he doesn't say a few words and just bear with it, it will be over."
"There are so many people in our school who want to be the son-in-law of the Liu family, but they don't have the chance. He doesn't cherish it. He thinks that he can turn the world upside down just because he earned some money."
"Wow, as expected of my prince charming. He has backbone, principles, and courage. I want to sleep with him, even in my dreams."
Liu Jie frowned and said softly, "Xiao Feng -ge, don't be so rash."
"This isn't rash. Your father is completely humiliating me. He wants to dispel my spirit. Xiao Jie, it's fine if you don't believe me." I sighed.
"No, I will always stand behind you."
Liu Jie shook her head forcefully. Her face was filled with determination. I was quite moved. I didn't want to make things difficult for Liu Jie, but I didn't think that things would develop to this point. On one side was her boyfriend, and on the other side was her father. Liu Jie was actually very embarrassed, but she chose me without hesitation. This was a form of recognition and trust.
Seeing this scene, Liu Zhanpeng was so angry that his body trembled. "My precious daughter, he is bragging. Don't mess around with him. Instead of enjoying such a good life, why are you messing around with this poor brat?"
This was a matter of face. As a successful boss, he had a lot of employees under him. Which one of them wasn't respectful to him? It was fine if he lost to me, but even Liu Jie stood beside me without hesitation. This was undoubtedly a slap to his face.
"No, dad, you disappoint me too much. We are in love with each other. You always look down on Xiao Feng -ge. He isn't what you think he is. You are clearly the bully."
Liu Jie hid behind me. To be honest, if the man in front of me wasn't her father, I would have already made a move.
Following Liu Jie's dissatisfied words, whispers sounded again. It turns out that the rich family that made them envious, jealous, and hateful also had an unknown sadness.
"Fine, fine, fine. I won't care what you do. Give me the keys. Auntie Fang Fang is going to have a child. Without you as a daughter, I can't live!"
Hearing the chatter of the students, Liu Zhanpeng got even angrier. He actually used such a lowly method to threaten Liu Jie.
She bit her lips, and her expression wasn't good. "So what if I have a child. You don't love me. Then let's break off our relationship. I'll give you the keys, wallet, and phone. Don't contact me anymore!"
