"Wang Xiao, don't talk nonsense, are you kidding me? How come someone in my WeChat moments said your company relocated?"
Jiang Ruo's tone was skeptical.
I planned to give Jiang Ruo a surprise at my future mother-in-law's birthday in a few days. Since it was a surprise, I couldn't reveal it too early, so I continued to play dumb: "What relocation, if it were, that would be great, moving to a bigger office building."
"Ruoruo, I'm not lying to you, my company really went bankrupt, from now on I'll have to rely on you, a little rich lady, to support me. Don't I transfer you tens of thousands a month for pocket money? If things go wrong, I might need that money to pay off debts!"
There was silence on the other end for a while.
"Are you serious?"
I suddenly realized something was wrong.
Jiang Ruo had always spoken to me sweetly, but today, her voice seemed a bit low.
"Do you know that my mom's birthday is in a few days? Are you planning to tell her your company went bankrupt at the birthday banquet?"
"Wang Xiao, are you really dumb or faking it? I still thought your company was doing well, I even had my parents go to your house to talk about the betrothal gift, did the company have to go bankrupt at such a critical time?"
"And why didn't you tell me before the bankruptcy? Why wait until you couldn't hide it any longer to tell me?"
"Now that's great, all my relatives know I'm getting married soon, do you want them to laugh at our family?"
I was suddenly stunned, and the joy of the company's relocation was considerably dampened.
I restrained the smile on my face and forcedly said: "What's going on here? My company went bankrupt, and you don't even say a word of comfort? It's my company, no different from my child, it went bankrupt and I'm upset too."
"Stop talking about these things with me!"
Jiang Ruo suddenly raised her voice, coldly saying: "Wang Xiao, let's break up, from now on there will be no connection between us!"
At this point, my smile completely disappeared from my face.
"So? Did you get with me just because of my company? Just because I had money?"
"What else?!"
At this point, Jiang Ruo became aggrieved.
"If it wasn't because you had money, why would I waste my best years on you? Wang Xiao, you really disappoint me. I used to think you were talented, and after all these years, you finally made a name for yourself, but it's only been a year or two, and you've already managed to run the company into bankruptcy!"
"Okay, since the company has gone bankrupt, there's nothing more to say between us. Let's delete each other, pretend we don't know each other, and pretend nothing happened before. You are also not allowed to come to my mom's birthday banquet in a few days so that the relatives won't know you're broke and ruin the Jiang Family's reputation!"
Jiang Ruo's tone was very agitated, just after speaking, before I could respond, she suddenly hung up the phone and quickly blocked all my social accounts, clearly showing an attitude of never wanting to meet again.
I really didn't expect a girlfriend of five or six years to be such a gold digger!
Holding back a breath of air, if I don't let it out, I fear I'll never come to terms with this in my lifetime.
Thinking of the money and energy I spent on her over the years, thinking of how I've looked after the Jiang Family all these years, my face became increasingly sullen.
"Jiang Ruo...you really disappoint me!"
