She absolutely could not go back to her hometown now. Previously, her boyfriend kept saying that he wanted to visit her family, but she refused because she didn't want to bring her boyfriend back to the dilapidated house in her hometown. A few days ago, an idea suddenly came to her. She could ask her boyfriend to come to the villa during the New Year.
Anyway, the house owner would not be around at that time. It did not matter even if she brought her boyfriend over. She also knew that her mother might not agree, but she would definitely be able to get her mother's approval with impassioned pleas.
So, she could not let her mother bring her back to her hometown anyway. This was her last chance.
Of course, she also knew that she was lying. However, there was nothing she could do. Her boyfriend's family had a business. Although he was not very rich, he grew up in a resourceful family. He had a sports car and could be considered a second-generation rich.
