Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 309 - 145: Bai Weixi’s Parents Arrive, the Goddess’s Exclusive Ride_4

They had been classmates for three years and desk mates for two of them, which was already incredible. As a middle school teacher, Bai Tianqi understood all too well that if the two hadn’t shared a mutual fondness for each other, it would have been impossible for them to be desk mates for so long. No wonder, then, that when he’d once gone to a parent-teacher conference, his daughter’s homeroom teacher had hinted that he should be on the lookout for puppy love. However, his daughter’s grades had always been steadily improving, so he didn’t dare say anything. She always came home on time after school and didn’t seem like the type to be secretly dating.

At this point, Yang Jinyu furrowed her brows. Looking at the screensaver on Bai Weixi’s phone, she asked, "What’s that boy’s name? Do you have a photo you can show me?"

Bai Weixi shyly unlocked her phone, found a solo picture of Li Yuan, and carefully handed it to Yang Jinyu.

"Mom, his name is Li Yuan."

Yang Jinyu took the phone. As she gazed at Li Yuan on the screen, her eyes lit up.

He’s tall, with fair skin and handsome features. Going by looks alone, he’s definitely a catch—the type that attracts girls.

She sighed inwardly. No wonder my daughter was attracted. He has good grades, he’s tall, he’s handsome, they were classmates and desk mates, and now they’re even at the same university. It would be stranger if they *weren’t* together.

Bai Tianqi also leaned in, taking a serious look at Li Yuan as his tightly furrowed brows relaxed somewhat. Based purely on his looks and build, he reminds me of myself when I was young. He got into Daxia University, so his academic credentials can’t be bad, and he should be able to find a decent job. Plus, he was my daughter’s high school classmate, so we know his background. All things considered, I’m quite satisfied.

Yang Jinyu returned the phone to Bai Weixi. Looking at her beloved daughter, she responded in a noncommittal tone.

"He’s quite tall. His looks and educational background are acceptable."

"By the way, sweetheart, what’s Li Yuan’s family situation like? How many people are in his family, what do his parents do, and where is his hometown?"

"Mom, why are you probing so much? It’s like you’re interrogating a criminal."

Bai Weixi was inwardly speechless. I actually do know a little about Li Yuan’s family. His hometown is a small rural town, he has a younger sister, and his parents are probably working away from home.

Yang Jinyu said coolly, "Sweetheart, I’m asking these questions for your own good. I hope you’ll settle down in Modu. Housing in Modu is incredibly expensive, and the cost of living is high. If his family’s financial situation is just average, it will be hard for the two of you to be happy in the future."

Bai Tianqi coughed, feeling that Yang Jinyu was making a pointed remark.

"Ahem, honey, it’s also good for a couple to build a life together."

The moment she heard the word "strive," Yang Jinyu flew off the handle, unleashing a tirade at Bai Tianqi.

"Strive? You make it sound so easy! Are some things really achievable just by striving? Do you have any idea how expensive housing is in Modu? A decent area costs ten to twenty thousand per square meter. Even a simple three-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment would cost one or two million.

"How many years would the two of them have to work to afford a place in Modu? Or what, should she end up like me, forced to go back to some small-town county?

"Or maybe you, Bai Tianqi, have the ability to buy your precious daughter an apartment in Modu?"

Bai Tianqi’s face burned with embarrassment. This topic always led to arguments. This is what always happens when families aren’t a good match. I know she loves me and our family, but coming from a more developed region, she can’t help but look down on ordinary people from small towns. Settling down in the big city of Modu, returning home in glory, and making her family regret their judgment—it’s become her obsession.

Looking at the fuming Yang Jinyu, Bai Tianqi decisively shut his mouth. He knew she was right about everything and even agreed with her. But as a man, he resented it deep down.

Seeing her parents about to start arguing again, Bai Weixi looked at them and replied weakly.

"Dad, Mom, Li Yuan has already bought a house in Modu."
