Chapter 32: Tearing Lovers Apart! Life Is Not a Fairy Tale!

Lu Feng was indeed startled by the final prompt from the Veyshield detection watch.

Could it really detect whether a person was suffering from an illness?

If someone were sick, would using the Veyshield detection watch reveal exactly what disease they had?

This function was somewhat like Baymax’s medical scanning ability in *Big Hero 6*.

Moreover, with technology so far ahead of the present day, Lu Feng believed that even if the watch could not detect every possible illness, it would certainly identify most obvious conditions.

The Veyshield detection watch was unquestionably a remarkable device.

“Boss, all the gold jewelry has been packed,” Xu Bin said as he approached, carrying a travel bag.

The moment Lu Feng took the bag, he could tell that it was definitely heavier than the bag of gold jewelry he had brought out earlier.

With the jade jewelry added in, this had been an enormous haul.

“Let’s go back upstairs.” As he spoke, Lu Feng carried both the gold and jade jewelry out of the jewelry shop and headed toward the Qingfeng Tea Shop upstairs.

There was still quite a bit of Qingfeng tea stored there, so he continued to use the place as a base.

After returning to the Qingfeng Tea Shop, Lu Feng exited the game with another thought.

Lin Jiajia and Xu Bin exchanged a glance. By now, they were no longer surprised by it.

The two of them then began moving the tea tables in the shop toward the entrance, blocking most of the doorway.

Their boss had caused quite a commotion today. It was better to be cautious.

…

Lu Feng appeared inside his apartment and placed the bags of gold and jade jewelry beneath the bed.

Once he dealt with these two bags of valuables, he could settle everything at once—the money needed for the tea factory, as well as the purchase of a car and a house.

By then, he would also have the confidence to face Yang Qingxue’s mother.

Just as he was thinking about this, his phone rang.

It was Yang Qingxue calling.

Lu Feng hurriedly answered. Her voice came through between sobs.

“Lu Feng, could you come to my dormitory?”

“Qingxue, what happened?” Lu Feng immediately sensed that something was wrong and asked anxiously.

Yang Qingxue spoke helplessly. “My mother is here. She’s in my dormitory, and she wants you to come over.”

Lu Feng instantly understood the reason.

Yang Qingxue’s mother had always opposed her relationship with him. She had even been trying to arrange blind dates for her daughter.

Now she had personally come to You City and wanted to meet him. Her purpose was obvious.

Just like a plot from a television drama, she had come to tear the lovers apart.

“Qingxue, don’t cry. Don’t worry, either. I’ll be there right away.” Lu Feng hurriedly comforted her. After hanging up, he rushed out, hailed a taxi, and headed for Yang Qingxue’s dormitory.

He had not expected to face Yang Qingxue’s mother so soon.

To be honest, Lu Feng knew how Yang Qingxue’s mother felt about him, but he did not resent her.

He knew the situation of Yang Qingxue’s family, which was somewhat similar to his own.

Her father had never had much money.

When Yang Qingxue’s mother was young, she had married him without hesitation.

But when Yang Qingxue was in elementary school, her father contracted a serious illness. Even after undergoing surgery, he eventually passed away, leaving the family heavily in debt.

Yang Qingxue’s mother had repaid those debts bit by bit while playing the roles of both father and mother, all the while raising Yang Qingxue with tremendous difficulty.

Now that she saw her daughter about to follow the same path, she was naturally unwilling to accept it.

She had suffered through that kind of life herself. How could she bear to let her daughter repeat her mistakes?

Even without that reason, what parent would want their daughter to spend her entire life suffering?

If Lu Feng ever had a daughter, he certainly would not want that for her either.

If he had not obtained the world of *After the Apocalypse*, his mother’s treatment this time would have left him with debts he might never have been able to repay.

In that case, the only thing he could have done would probably have been to let Yang Qingxue go, refusing to hold her back.

That might have been the greatest dignity he could offer her.

But things were different now. With the world of *After the Apocalypse*, his life had undergone earth-shaking changes.

He would hold on to Yang Qingxue firmly and treat her well.

A girl who had loved you when you were at your most downcast and helpless, who had even been willing to take out the fifty thousand yuan she had painstakingly saved to pay for your mother’s medical treatment—if you did not treat such a girl well for the rest of your life, you would be worse than an animal.

Down-Gang Street.

Inside a dormitory room.

Yang Qingxue put down her phone and looked at her mother through her lingering sobs.

“Mom…”

Her voice was weak, carrying a trace of pleading.

Lin Jiajia hurried over to comfort her. “Qingxue, don’t cry. Auntie is doing this for your own good. Besides, you have no idea what Lu Feng’s situation is right now. Auntie and I asked around at the hospital. We know more about it than you do.”

Chen Fen, sitting nearby, sighed as she looked at her disappointing daughter.

“Qingxue, why won’t you ever listen to me? Do you really want to live the kind of life your mother has lived? Don’t you know how hard it is?”

Yang Qingxue nodded firmly. “Mom, I’m not afraid… I can earn money myself in the future. Lu Feng and I will be fine…”

“Fine?” Chen Fen sighed again. “Do you know how much Lu Feng’s mother has spent on treatment this time? I asked at the hospital. The surgery alone cost five hundred thousand yuan, and she also spent some time in the intensive care unit, which costs twenty thousand yuan a day.”

“In other words, his mother’s illness will definitely cost six or seven hundred thousand yuan. You know the situation of Lu Feng’s family very well. He has no money at all. All of this will have to become debt.”

“If you stay with him, then setting everything else aside, you will have to shoulder that debt together. Who knows how long it will take to repay? And that is not even counting whether the two of you will ever be able to buy a home of your own.”

“Have you ever thought about how frightening that kind of life would be? Are you certain you could endure it forever?”

Yang Qingxue clenched her teeth. She did not answer immediately. Only after a moment of silence did she speak in a resolute voice.

“I’m not afraid… I believe Lu Feng will work hard!”

“You… Why are you so stubborn?” Seeing how determined her daughter was, Chen Fen was furious.

But more than anything, she felt helpless.

Back then, she had been just as stubborn when facing her own parents. She had never expected that her daughter would inherit that trait.

Now she could finally understand her parents’ attempts to stop her all those years ago.

At the thought of the past, she silently sighed again.

She did not regret the choice she had made back then, but she truly did not want her daughter to walk the same path.

She was not demanding that her daughter marry into a wealthy and powerful family. But at the very least, she wanted her to have enough to eat and wear, a small home of her own, and a little savings on hand—nothing extravagant, merely a life without constant anxiety.

Life was truly not a fairy tale.

Seeing Yang Qingxue’s resolute expression, Lin Jiajia also tried helplessly to persuade her.

“Qingxue, I know Lu Feng is a good person. Otherwise, you would never have fallen for him. But your circumstances are so good. You really don’t have to tie yourself to him. You could live a much better life.”

Yang Qingxue remained silent, not saying a word.

In the end, Chen Fen fell silent as well.

She knew there was no way to reason with her daughter. She could only wait for Lu Feng to arrive and then find a way to separate the two of them through him.

Seeing that mother and daughter had both gone quiet, Lin Jiajia sensed that the atmosphere was becoming awkward and said nothing more.

No one knew how much time had passed when the doorbell rang.

All three of them turned toward the door at once. They knew that Lu Feng had arrived.

Chen Fen immediately said to Lin Jiajia, “Jiajia, go answer the door. Today, we have to make everything clear with him.”

“All right.” Lin Jiajia nodded and rose to open the door.
