Chapter 62: Are you supporting me?

  The address change changed the address. Gu Zi Jun didn't move, letting her take the backrest and beckon to herself. Anyway, with her small strength, she wouldn't be able to hit herself in any way.

  When she was tired of slapping, gradually not as fierce as before, Gu Zijun took the pillow and threw it aside. Then he grasped her shoulders with both hands, looked into her eyes and said: "Zou Xiaomi, listen to me. I know this is unfair to you, but don't worry, I won't let you lose out. In a year's time, I'll let you go back to university again, not only that, I'll also give you a house. If you like this one, it's yours, if not, any other one is fine too. And your four years of tuition fees, including the 1 million yuan alimony afterwards, and the problem of finding a job in the future, I will all help you with."

  "Are you trying to keep me? I don't want it, I don't want any of these things from you." Zou Xiaomi said tearfully.

  Gu Zi Jun pulled the corner of his mouth, let out a bitter laugh and said seriously: "You may not want it now, but I believe you will need all these in the future. Zou Xiao Mi, why don't you think about it from a positive perspective? Even if we get married for real, there's still a chance we might divorce, and even then, you're not guaranteed to get any of this. You can go to college, become rich, have a respectable job. Or are you really willing to continue living that poor life like before, renting a dark and cramped house? Riding around on your bike delivering takeout, but yourself going hungry?"

  "I..." Zou Xiaomi's face still had tears on it, but she couldn't cry anymore, and she also couldn't say anything.

  Think back to the old days, that kind of being ridiculed, that longing to read again. And think about now, as he said, having books to read, good food to eat, and a big house to live in. Isn't all this what she had always dreamed of?

  Although it may cost a lot to get these, it's just one year. She doesn't like him anyway, so isn't this just perfect?

  Zou Xiaomi's mind was a bit messy, she had never thought about these complicated things. And today, Gu Zijun's words were even more shocking to her than when he first wanted to marry her.

  Following his train of thought, it's true that she doesn't seem to be at a disadvantage, and there's even some benefit to it. However, for some reason, she still feels a bit wronged in her heart, an inexplicable discomfort.

  "Actually, my parents didn't want me to tell you about this." Gu Zi Jun continued: "They wanted me to deceive you and wait until we get divorced to find a reason to divorce you. But I don't want to deceive you, I want you to be mentally prepared."

  "Why can't it just go on like this?" Zou Xiaomi asked softly.

  She doesn't understand, nor does she get it. Clearly remembering that Gu Zi Jun's parents seemed to like her a lot, especially his mom, who would smile when talking to her. How could things change overnight just because of some nonsense the master said and now they're bullying her?

  "You don't understand, if it wasn't for the sake of our family's interests, how could my parents possibly agree to let me marry you or Tang Linyan? For our family, finding a daughter-in-law is more about matching social status, so as to maximize benefits. My older brother married the only daughter of the xx Military Region Commander, who is also a Standing Committee member. My second brother married the daughter of the xx Deputy Governor and is now the CEO of the largest media company in the country. So how could my marriage be so simple, marrying an unknown girl?" Gu Zijun sighed.

  "I don't understand, what era is this that we still have to consider door-to-door matches. Do your parents tell you to marry whoever and you just do it? Don't you have someone you truly want to marry? Haven't you ever liked another girl?" Zou Xiaomi muttered softly.

  Gu Zi Jun was taken aback, and a person immediately came to mind. He couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and his face turned slightly pale as he said in a low voice: "You've misunderstood, the more it's this era, the more emphasis is placed on matching doors with households, otherwise, how can you distinguish between aristocratic families and commoners?"
