Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Chapter 251 - 153 Jiang Xinyi

Zhou Yuwen’s class was about to go on stage to perform, and the students crowded forward, leaving only You Changjin, a few classmates who hadn’t been picked, and Zhou Yuwen remaining in their seats.

It was somewhat lonely.

You Changjin, obviously wanting to impress his girlfriend, started chatting with Zhou Yuwen, saying, "You always dodge work, even though you clearly have talent but choose not to show it."

"Let me tell you, with that attitude, you’ll never find a girlfriend in university."

Zhou Yuwen just smiled and said nothing. Jiang Xinyi felt her boyfriend was talking a bit too much. Jiang Xinyi and You Changjin had met in university. Although You Changjin wasn’t handsome and was slightly overweight, he was indeed a good person.

Throughout the four years of university, Jiang Xinyi didn’t even realize that You Changjin liked her.

She remembers that every time she went to the library to study, she’d run into him, and he would considerately bring her hot water or prepare breakfast for her.

Actually, Jiang Xinyi was the type of girl who was quite dense when it came to romance; she had never felt butterflies.

It wasn’t until their graduation day that You Changjin unexpectedly confessed his feelings to Jiang Xinyi.

Jiang Xinyi was surprised, as she hadn’t considered this possibility before.

But that year, when she graduated at the age of 22, some parents considered that to be quite old, and after all, isn’t a woman supposed to aspire to marriage after university?

So her family started arranging matches for her. There were plenty of successful young men, elites from society, and quite a few self-employed entrepreneurs, but Jiang Xinyi was resistant to arranged meetings.

At this time, You Changjin was still lingering by Jiang Xinyi’s side.

Looking at You Changjin, who wasn’t very handsome but seemed quite dependable, Jiang Xinyi said, "Let’s give it a try then."

Before this, You Changjin only knew that Jiang Xinyi was beautiful and disciplined, but he knew nothing about her family background.

It was only after they got together that You Changjin began to understand something about Jiang Xinyi’s family. Discover hidden tales at NovelBin.Côm

Jiang Xinyi’s mother was a very cultivated woman. Although her face was full of wrinkles as she aged, her demeanor was still present.

After finding out that her daughter had a boyfriend, Jiang’s mother met You Changjin behind her daughter’s back once.

The meeting was in a high-end cafe. You Changjin was very understanding of etiquette and even brought a gift, having spent three thousand yuan on a piece of Suzhou embroidery.

But upon arriving at the cafe and seeing Jiang’s mother, he noticed she was wearing a cloak made of the same type of Suzhou embroidery.

And the craftsmanship far surpassed the commercial grade of embroidery You Changjin had brought.

Jiang’s mother, very cultivated, spoke slowly and softly. Before You Changjin arrived, she had been talking with a man in a business suit, seemingly discussing work.

When she saw You Changjin approaching, she quickly finished her conversation with the man.

And began evaluating this man.

He was slightly overweight, wearing black-framed glasses, looking every bit the honest man.

During their first meeting, Jiang’s mother was not impressed with You Changjin, "So you are Xinyi’s boyfriend?"

"Yes, auntie, this is for you," stuttered You Changjin, hurriedly trying to take the gift out from the gift box.

But before he could get it out,

Jiang’s mother said, "I’m short on time, so I’ll make this quick."

Her voice was very cold, pausing You Changjin’s movement as he was about to retrieve the luggage.

Jiang’s mother sipped her coffee gently, "Xinyi was raised under the watchful eyes of her father and me, and we have high expectations for her."

You Changjin lowered his head.

"We hope for her to have a successful career, and we hope her partner can support her in her future endeavors, whether it’s in politics or business, and at the very least, not hold her back."

Jiang’s mother spoke slowly, her Mandarin crisp, with a hint of a Taiwanese accent.

Yet those words felt very cold, leaving You Changjin unsure how to respond, despite having thought through many possibilities before arriving, he had never imagined facing such a scenario.

He could only bow his head in silence.

"I won’t interfere with what happened between you two before this meeting; essentially, it was just to have a look at you and to urge you to seriously consider your future with Xinyi.

I have another meeting soon, so I’ll be leaving first," she said.

As she said this, she glanced at her wristwatch and stood up to leave.

A woman nearly fifty, yet still in high heels, wearing what looked like very expensive clothes.

The young man standing next to Jiang’s mother seemed like a driver, muscular and appearing to have military experience.

The meeting was brief.

Jiang’s mother didn’t say much.

However, in You Changjin’s eyes, his self-esteem had been trampled upon.

Though Jiang Xinyi later dismissively said upon hearing about the meeting, "Just ignore her."

"My mom just likes to pressure you mentally; just ignore her," she said.

Though such words were said, for a young man from a small town, it was still impossible to bridge the gap between them.

In front of Jiang Xinyi, You Changjin felt inferior.

To be together, You Changjin could only be nicer than before and strive even harder.

For example, this year, he passed the exam to become a school counselor.

For an ordinary man, this was already like getting through a narrow pass alone.
