Chapter 76 A Different Perspective

Looking at Yao Shula, Gu Xiaoman suddenly felt like she wanted to confide in her as well.

She couldn't understand why they broke up when they clearly had a good relationship.

In the end, no one had a good chance of succeeding; they all said she was foolish.

Gu Xiaoman thought back to when she first got together with that man.

“We had just gotten together then, and he said he didn’t feel secure…” Gu Xiaoman began.

“Oh, so you mean he’s not as important as you, and you should use your status to do something for him,” Yao Shula interrupted Gu Xiaoman.

Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin...

Gu Xiaoman was also stunned.

After he said that, he did do a lot of things, and those people who used to bully him at school no longer dared to bully him.

He also became a student council officer...

“He told me he wanted a stable life…” Gu Xiaoman continued, her voice strained.

"Oh, he means you have to keep using your status to help him with many things, such as academics or other matters, so that he can be worthy of you in terms of status." Yao Shula finished speaking and popped a sunflower seed into her mouth.

Gu Xiaoman was a little confused as she spat the sunflower seed shells into the plate.

How did Yao Shula find out?

After her ex-boyfriend said those words, she did indeed do a lot for him.

He seemed happy every time I helped him with something in the student council.

"He... also advised me not to act like a spoiled princess and not to always argue with my family. They're all doing it for my own good!" Gu Xiaoman said, looking at Yao Shula.

Yao Shula placed the freshly peeled sunflower seeds into Xiao Tiantian's hand.

He was saying that you should maintain a good relationship with your family.

"If you fall out with your family, how can you use your family connections to get benefits for him?" Yao Shula continued.

Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin both looked at Gu Xiaoman.

Gu Xiaoman was already a little dumbfounded.

My family was initially somewhat opposed to my relationship with him, but later...

"The reason you were able to do so many things for him is because of the Gu family's influence at school." Gu Changqin tapped Gu Xiaoman's forehead.

Gu Xiaoman seemed to understand something.

“He also said that we are both romantic people and we must understand romance!” Gu Xiaoman then looked at Yao Shula.

"Oh, he means you should learn to take the initiative to do things for him."

"We can't expect him to speak up for everything," Yao Shula continued to explain.

Gu Xiaoman thought of all the things she had secretly done for him...

"He also said... that a relationship should have a sense of ritual, and that every day should be treated as the most important day." Gu Xiaoman said subconsciously.

"This is even simpler."

He meant that you should do him some favors whenever you have free time.

Then, secretly surprise him; that's what you call a sense of ritual. Yao Shula continued peeling sunflower seeds for Xiaotian.

Gu Xiaoman...

She finally realized that she was a fool!

"He also said that as an ambitious young person in the new society, I must take responsibility." Gu Xiaoman's tone was already tinged with annoyance.

Yao Shula chuckled twice.

"He means that you have to do more than just help him with things."

You also need to help with his family's affairs and those of his relatives!

Gu Xiaoman...

Thinking back to the past four years, whenever the man's fellow villagers went to Shanghai, she was the one who made the arrangements.

She took care of everything, from food and lodging to entertainment and even going to the hospital for medical treatment.

"He... also said that people's emotions are very important, and that we should always maintain our original intentions!" Gu Xiaoman said these two sentences almost through gritted teeth.

"This is even simpler!"

He means you should happily do these things for him.

You helped him willingly, not because you were forced to.

It wasn't him who asked you to.

Or rather, you're begging him to find something for you to do!

"This is called wanting both ways, trying to live off a woman, do you understand?" Yao Shula looked at Gu Xiaoman with great sympathy.

See, capitalists' daughters are so easily manipulated by PUA!

Gu Xiaoman...

Yao Shula waited for Gu Xiaoman to continue, but Gu Xiaoman remained silent.

"What's wrong? Keep going! There should be more!" Yao Shula looked at Gu Xiaoman curiously.

Gu Xiaoman gently shook her head.

"That's all! That's all!"

Yao Shula didn't believe it was just that little bit.

"There must be more. If you really can't remember, just tell me how he broke up with you," Yao Shula kindly reminded Gu Xiaoman.

Gu Xiaoman almost burst into tears when she heard this.

"He said...he said I'm a good person, and he's not good enough for me!"

Yao Shula...

Just as I expected, in the end I only gave this silly girl a "friend zone" card!

Gu Xiaoman looked at Yao Shula, and Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin also looked at Yao Shula.

“Why are you all looking at me? I feel sorry for her!” Yao Shula said immediately.

"Aren't you going to analyze this further? That person said Xiaoman is a good person, so you should analyze it carefully!" Gu Changqin reminded him in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Yao Shula felt even more sympathetic towards Gu Xiaoman.

"Oh, the meaning is actually quite clear."

It means that you are no longer of much use to him, and he can no longer get anything more from you.

"He's found a new high branch, he's gone to climb that new high branch!" Yao Shula said, watching Gu Xiaoman's expression.

Gu Xiaoman was completely dumbfounded...

Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin also looked at Yao Shula in surprise.

Gu Changqin, in particular, was very impressed with Yao Shula.

At first, he thought Yao Shula was just a sharp-tongued, wild girl.

Now... wow! That's amazing! Just that mouth of hers is enough to make him worship her!

"Did you hear that? She dumped you because she's going to climb the social ladder!" Lei Jingwu tapped Gu Xiaoman's forehead.

"Cousin, you're unlucky, you didn't meet any good people!" Little Tiantian didn't understand anything, but she still expressed her opinion.

Gu Changqin sighed again.

"Now you know why I dragged you here!"

You still want to get that guy back? You must be out of your mind!

Gu Xiaoman pursed her lips and remained silent; this wasn't the kind of love she longed for...

"You're still thinking about getting back together?!"

"Let me tell you! Maybe you won't even need to look for him; he'll come back to you on his own!" Yao Shula suddenly said.

"He dares to come back?" Gu Changqin and Lei Jingwu were immediately furious.

Why is it impossible for him to come back?

What if he can't make it outside and then remembers how good Gu Xiaoman is?

"Not all women are as foolish as her!" Yao Shula said bluntly.

Gu Xiaoman...

The truth is always like a sharp knife, piercing the heart and drawing blood!
