Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife Chapter 1377

Chapter 1377: I Need A Boyfriend

She had two older sisters, an older brother, and a younger brother.

Her two older sisters were uneducated. From a young age, they had to work hard to survive. When they grew up, they were married off in exchange for a large dowry.

Her older brother was the most loved. Her parents never thought that education was useful. Their thinking was old-fas.h.i.+oned, and they said that education was for commoners and only labor was the most glorious. So her older brother had not gone to university. He stopped after high school, and then her parents forced him to get married and carry on the family name.

In her family, she was the most educated. Her two older sisters were uneducated, and they regretted it all their lives. Her older brother had the resources to be educated but had not managed to complete his education. Similarly, he regretted it all his life.

So her two older sisters and brother insisted that she complete university. Besides the money she earned herself by working, her school fees were mainly provided by her older brother and sisters.

Her parents refused to give her a single cent. In fact, they even asked her for money.

Now that she was an adult, her parents treated her the same way they treated her older sisters. They asked her to get married as soon as possible so that they could receive a dowry to help raise her older brother’s children and to allow her younger brother to take a bride.

She must quickly find a way to deal with her parents because they were seriously interfering with her studies and her life. She could not stand her parents coming to the school every day to make a fuss.

Han Jing lowered her eyes and was silent for a while before she said bluntly, “You said previously that you would bear the responsibility for your actions. If I ever needed your help, you would help me.”

“That’s right!” Li Qinglang agreed immediately.

…

Han Jing said, “Very well then, I need you to be my boyfriend.”

Li Qinglang was shocked!

Han Jing was rather embarra.s.sed too, but she had no choice. This was the best solution.

“Don’t be mistaken. I have no intention of becoming a burden to you. What happened previously was an accident. You’re willing to compensate me, and I’m also willing to accept it. Neither of us will owe each other anything in the future. I won’t blame you, and you won’t need to feel guilty either.

“I just need a boyfriend. Don’t worry. When you meet someone you like, you can just tell me and I’ll immediately break up with you. I definitely won’t hold you back!”

Li Qinglang frowned. A girl who needed this sort of help…

“Have you run into any trouble?”

The girl was so pretty. She had an icy beauty and was an outstanding student at Beijing University. She was very attractive. Could it be that someone was using their status to bully her?

Han Jing thought about it and told him the truth. If she wanted him to be her boyfriend, he would need to face her family. If he understood the situation, he would be able to handle it more easily.

So she told him about her family circ.u.mstances.

“My parents are very, very biased against girls, and their thinking is old-fas.h.i.+oned. They are also very difficult to deal with. I’m going to graduate next year, but they feel it’s best to use my current status as a university student to marry into a good family so that they can get a little more dowry. They’re forcing me to get married as soon as possible.

“I’m at my wits’ end. I urgently need a boyfriend. Right now, my older brother is helping me to hold them off, so they haven’t gone to school to make a fuss. But if I still don’t get married, they will certainly make trouble in school. That will be very embarra.s.sing.

“I don’t want to do this either. I don’t know what to do with parents like mine. I can’t possibly allow them to carry on like this, but I can’t just marry anyone either. So… when Yuan Yuan mentioned you, I agreed to come.”

Li Qinglang did not really understand. “If they just want to get some money out of you, wouldn’t it be better to wait until you’ve graduated, and you can find a job and earn a salary?”

She was about to graduate from university and could earn a salary. What was her family thinking, forcing her to get married at this juncture?
