Strawberry Pop Pop Pop chapter 106
The two of them were affectionate for a while, but suddenly, Su Li thought of something and had a complete change of demeanor. He broke free from Liang Xie’s embrace and hurriedly ran out of the bedroom.
Liang Xie, in his wheelchair, quickly followed. He saw Su Li stooping to pick up the shoes, bag, and coat scattered on the floor, protecting them as if they were precious, gently brushing off the dust.
Liang Xie: “…”
Once Su Li’s tears stopped, it was time to discuss serious matters.
Looking at the expensive items in his hands, Su Li couldn’t help but nag him, “Why did you buy such expensive things for me? It’s too much. But if you bought them, at least you should have told me. I would cherish them and not put them on carelessly…”
Such a waste of nice things.
He was also worried about Liang Xie, and he couldn’t hold back from sharing his thoughts. “Just now, your mother said that she’d make you regret it someday. I’m afraid she’ll find a way to interfere with your company again. After all, she looks too powerful, even more so than Gu Nuan’s father.”
Su Li recalled the days when he used to visit Gu’s house and always saw Gu Yuanchen, who always smiled.
In comparison, Liang Xie’s mother, Liang Fenying, was truly terrifying.
Liang Xie comforted him, saying, “Now that we have Lu’s family as our support, she should behave for a while.”
After a pause, he lowered his head and added, “Actually, she became like this because of the toxic environment in the Liang family. My grandfather, chairman Liang, is an extremely autocratic and unfeeling businessman. My mother’s first rebellion against him was for an ordinary alpha.”
That alpha was Liang Xie and Liang Caicai’s biological father, a poor alpha.
“My mother loved my father very much at the time, even offering to marry him despite their vast social class difference and against my grandfather’s disapproval. Unfortunately, my father wasn’t a good man. After getting what he wanted from the Liang family after marriage, he became emotionally abusive to my mother.”
This alpha never liked Liang Fenying, the proud and strong eldest daughter of the Liang family, not for a single moment.
The deception of love, combined with family disapproval, led to Liang Fenying suffering from severe postpartum depression.
Liang Xie laughed bitterly, “In fact, she should have divorced my father when she gave birth to us. But my grandfather said, marriage is not child’s play; that you marry if you want to, and divorce if you want. She’s the eldest daughter of the Liang family and should consider the family’s reputation. After that, they maintained an apparently peaceful marriage for nearly five or six years, only announcing their amicable separation later.”
Su Li paused in his actions.
It was the first time Liang Xie had shared the Liang family’s situation with him.
“After their divorce, my grandfather was very strict with us, the two brothers. Because I looked a lot like my mother, he was determined to groom me as the heir.”
On the other hand, Liang Caicai, who was so similar to our father, had a hard time with the Liang family. Even though he had Liang Fenying “taking care” of him, Liang Caicai decided to leave the Liang family early.
This led to all the pressure on Liang Fenying later in life, which was focused on Liang Xie, giving him an overwhelming burden. He had to excel in everything and be the best in everything. He could only do what the Liang family wanted him to do, and nothing that they didn’t want him to do.
Photography, which was his passion, was considered something that had no value in the Liang family’s eyes.
One day, he gathered the courage to confront his grandfather and expressed his dream of becoming a photographer. But, unexpectedly, his grandfather abandoned him, seemingly as a punishment. Liang Xie was later replaced by his cousin as the next heir.
Liang Fenying, who had been busy with the company, was deeply disappointed in Liang Xie as a result.
Suddenly Liang Xie remembered what his mother mentioned once.
“There’s a set of housing in a smaller community in C City. After purchasing it, it will take about half a year for the renovation to be completed. It’s much smaller than this place and might be a bit shabby, but that will serve as a back up once your grandfather completely abandons you.”
Su Li was looking at him, silently waiting for him to continue.
Liang Xie rubbed his face and there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes. He whispered, “Su Li I…” and stopped.
Liang Xie continued, “I want to put your name on a property.”
Su Li: “??”
Liang Xie: “I’ll pay in full, no mortgage.”
This time, Liang Xie didn’t give Su Li a car; he directly gave him a house.
Su Li initially refused, but Liang Xie’s words made him compromise.
“You don’t want to be with me for the rest of your life?”
“What are you talking about?!” Su Li covered Liang Xie’s mouth. “Of course, I want to!”
Liang Xie then held his hand and gave him a kiss, one kiss led to another, and it became quite addictive. They couldn’t get enough of each other.
In a matter of days, Liang Xie bought the house. The house was within his budget to purchase outright. When Su Li came to see the house, he was amazed.
He thought the house Liang Xie chose was great in every aspect. If it weren’t for the six-month renovation, he would have wanted to move in immediately.
Moreover, initially, when he heard Liang Xie’s description, he assumed the house was some shabby second-hand property, but when he arrived at the community, Su Li was stunned.
The property prices in this community were more than double the price of his parents’ current mortgaged house and was considered a high-end community in C City.
For the nth time, Su Li didn’t quite understand the ways of wealthy people.
And the same went for the renovation; Liang Xie spared no expense.
As a result, once Su Li returned to the apartment, he carefully collected all the items Liang Xie had bought him and stored them as if they were sacred relics, locking them away in a cabinet.
“Su Li, what are you doing?”
“What else can I do? You spend money so recklessly. If your mom has a change of heart and comes back to ruin you, leaving you bankrupt, at least I can sell these items online,” Su Li calculated carefully. “I’ve done the math, and if we sell these, we can save money and make it last until I secure a stable job!”
Su Li’s earlier confident and audacious words to Liang Fenying seemed to vanish when faced with financial concerns. After all, Su Li, the high-achieving student from C University, still had two more years until he would graduate.
