After hearing this, Vivi snorted. "Initially, I thought I could overcome this predicament. But now it seems like it's too hard, and it's too difficult!
"Lilia, I'm different from you, my family is ordinary, not a family with extraordinary wealth. My parents always wanted me to get married as soon as possible. They even set several blind dates for me."
"I'm 25 this year but I've never been in a serious relationship. Meeting Ludwig has always been a very meaningful story in my heart, but he always listens to his mother in everything."
"I purposely use all my savings to help him start the company. I think that his mother can see that I seriously want to be with Ludwig in good times and bad, but apparently, all this means nothing."
Vivi shared her grievances and dissatisfaction in her heart.
Apart from Lilia, she did not dare to reveal all these to her parents.
They were getting old, and upon realizing it, she did nothing more than add to their troubles and couldn't help much.
Vivi rubbed her face with the back of her hand. "I've been working so hard for so long. I could hold back my anger once or twice, but I really can't stand today!"
After listening to her thoughts, Lilia patted her on the back, looking slightly depressed. "I know, but you just said you wanted to break up!"
Then she looked at Vivi, whose eyes were filled with tears. She then asked hesitantly, "Would you like to cancel it?"
Vivi narrowed her mouth, and sighed heavily. "Of course not! The relationship that I want is where both of us can strive for the better, together!"
"Someone who has been alone for a long time like me will always be picky when it comes to partners. I don't expect my future partner to give his life to me, I just want us to love each other and be by my side from the start."
"Even though I'm lonely, I feel comfortable when I'm single. I'm always waiting for the right person to come. But what do I get in return? I met Ludwig and I love him, but his mother came and made me annoyed every time. I really can't stand it! Why is she always dissatisfied with me, scolding me every time and forcing me to live up to her standards!"
"My friend kept telling me how kind and gentle Ludwig was. At that time, I wondered why such a good person doesn't have a girlfriend. Now, the answer is obvious! No matter how good he is, no one can stand his jerk mother!"
Vivi was overwhelmed by the bitterness she felt inside her heart. But after she let it all out, she slowly felt calm.
Even though her eyes were red, the emotions in her heart disappeared.
Lilia looked at her with relief. Her tone was relaxed when she said, "If you really want to understand, start over. He may really like you, but he doesn't have the ability to balance his relationship with his mother and his partner. This is indeed hard to cure!"
Vivi nodded in agreement. "Actually, I've been holding it in for a long time. If his mother hadn't caused too much trouble today, I wouldn't have exploded. Ludwig also discussed with me that he wants to buy a house in Surabaya and to write his mother's name as the owner later."
"I didn't agree with this at the time, and he didn't say anything. Now that I think about it, everything he does has to be according to his mother's wishes! Do they think I'm stupid? I just want to keep what my best friend has given me, I won't give it to anyone even if I die!"
Lilia couldn't help but laugh.
She took a tissue and handed it to Vivi. Seeing her mood calm down, she was relieved. "You're clearly upset, don't worry! Whatever happens in the future, you have to make clear what belongs to him and how you share everything. I don't think much of Ludwig, but he has such a mother, so even if it's a strand of hair, we should be prepared to split it in half for him!"
After hearing this, Vivi laughed and said, "If you hadn't reminded me, my name wouldn't have been written on this business license."
"Now I just want him to return the money I invested. That's all I've saved so far, I'll use the money to find another job. I didn't think I'd quit my job twice in just two months… and now I'm unemployed again!"
Vivi might still have a bond in her heart, maybe she doesn't let this past slip away.
But in Lilia's view, it's not too late for her to make right the wrong decision she had taken.
If only she wanted to find another partner, Lilia was wondering in her heart, is there a suitable person whom she could introduce to Vivi?!
Now, compared to Rachel, she was more willing to help Vivi overcome this problem.
The two have been friends for many years. Despite their very different backgrounds and statuses, Vivi never thought of taking advantage of Lilia's popularity when she was a supermodel.
Instead, she often kept her problems under wraps and tried to solve them alone, which earned her a lot of… troubles.
Lilia looked into her friend's teary eyes, and nodded inwardly.
Vivi deserves better!
...
At noon, Lilia took Vivi and Harold to a restaurant near the company for lunch.
Since it was lunch time, the three of them randomly found a table for four.
Lilia was a star, so sitting in a packed restaurant, she couldn't help but worry a little.
When the waiter delivered the food, there were even some little girls running up and asking for photos with their cell phones and asking for autographs.
Lilia is an easygoing person after all, so she accepts all requests.
But there were too many people taking photos. As the food got colder, more fans lined up near the table.
Desperately, Harold suggested wrapping up their food and returning to the company.
The three of them came and went in a hurry, and the fans who hadn't had a chance to take photos at the restaurant could only give up.
However, Lilia is so beautiful!
Back at the office, the three of them laughed at the cold fried rice and fried chicken in their packaging boxes.
Lilia sat down at the table and raised her forehead. "Looks like I shouldn't just pop up in the future!"
Vivi opened the packaging of the food, and when she handed it over, she smiled and said, "The topic about you has been so hot recently, I read it too. After you announce your pregnancy, you actually gained more than 100,000 new fans in one day, and your popularity is much higher than before!"
Lilia sighed with a smile and didn't answer.
When they were in the restaurant, she almost caused a riot!
Popularity indeed is a burden sometimes!
...
After eating, Lilia blinked sleepily. Recently, she has developed a habit of napping.
Harold wanted to go out for a smoke, but when he turned around, he felt the drowsiness that enveloped Lilia. "The company is running smoothly. You can take the resume home and read it anytime. Don't spend too much time here!"
Hearing that voice, Lilia was slightly moved.
She rubbed her forehead. "Okay, I'll take the resume back and have a look. You can invite them to come for an in-person interview. Let me know when the time is set."
Harold nodded and took the coat. "Be careful on the road."
After seeing this, Vivi also got up quickly. "Then, I will go home first!"
