Chapter 259 - 272: A Defeat That Cannot Be Forgiven
An Ran shrugged her shoulders, pursed her lips, and said nonchalantly, "Actually, it’s nothing. I just can’t go to work at the bar, I haven’t saved enough for next semester’s tuition yet, so I took on a few more jobs before the holidays. Time was tight, so I didn’t eat properly."
It’s money again. When he found her at the bar that time, she said she needed money. He really didn’t understand. Those bonuses were enough for her four years of university tuition. Why did she still need money so badly?
"What about your bonus? Isn’t that enough for your tuition?" Mu Xingfeng’s tone grew colder. This stubborn girl, just for money, she didn’t even care about her own body. Is she really that desperate for money?
An Ran listened to his unfriendly tone and pursed her lips.
"After enrolling in university, my foster mother took 100,000 yuan from the bonus money. The remaining money was obviously not enough for the second semester’s tuition."
Her calm words carried no hint of emotion, yet they struck Mu Xingfeng’s heart like a silent blow.
He was angry that An Ran didn’t listen to him, angry that she worked in a bar, angry that she didn’t care about her own safety. But he didn’t know how difficult her life was.
He only thought that he had given her enough money for university, but he forgot that she had a greedy foster mother.
He had once vowed to give her enough love and care, to provide her with a stable life. But in the end, she was forced by life to sell drinks in a bar, to work several part-time jobs, which nearly got her bullied by thugs, and caused her malnutrition.
For a moment, he was overwhelmed with guilt.
In his twenty-six years of life, he had never failed. But when facing the woman he loved, he failed unforgivably.
