Gentle and virtuous Song Yi harbors a secret: years ago, when she was desperate, she sought help from a man. She witnessed his wildness and endured his disdain.
She thought they would never m...
Chapter 450 The Reason Why I Love Him
This sentence gave Jiang Yuxu great hope. Gui Qing clearly saw that his face, which usually showed no emotion, showed an expression similar to surprise.
Afterwards, he held her hand and confirmed again: "Really?"
Gui Qing couldn't help laughing and teased him deliberately: "It's fake, I'm kidding you."
Jiang Yuxu held her hand tightly, "Adults should be responsible for what they say."
"Are you sure Lawyer Jiang is going to use this as an excuse against me?" Gui Qing pinched his face again. "I remember some people saying he doesn't like people with bad behavior. He and I won't have a future. He can't possibly marry me... well."
Before Gui Qing could finish her words, Jiang Yuxu covered her mouth.
Covered with hands.
He moved in a hurry, panicking, afraid that she would continue.
"I'm not a qualified adult when it comes to relationships. My previous comments were based on assumptions born of inexperience. These recent comments reflect my true thoughts as an adult, after careful consideration." Jiang Yuxu solemnly stated his position to her, "I'm the one who needs to change and improve. Your perspective on relationships is already mature. You know what kind of relationship you need and have your own principles."
His biggest misunderstanding of her was probably that he thought she had no principles in relationships between men and women.
Gui Qing had her mouth covered by Jiang Yuxu's hand, but she did not resist. She looked into his eyes and listened to him finish his words.
Afterwards, Jiang Yuxu's grip loosened a bit, and Gui Qing took advantage of the situation to pull his hand away from his mouth, saying with a smile, "Lawyer Jiang's mouth is still quite powerful."
Jiang Yuxu didn't quite believe her words: "Are you really praising me or are you being sarcastic?"
Gui Qing: "What do you think?"
Jiang Yuxu: "It should be irony."
After all, she always thought he was not good at talking, and when the two of them were at loggerheads, he basically couldn't beat her.
Gui Qing: "Lawyer Jiang has a meticulous logic and is unbeatable in court. Of course, he's also very good with his tongue."
She paused, "It's just that this mouth rarely says anything that makes me happy."
Jiang Yuxu: "You mean, you were very happy to hear what I just said."
Gui Qing patted his forehead and said, "Don't be so proud."
Jiang Yuxu coughed and said seriously, "Actions speak louder than words. If any of my changes don't meet your needs, can you please communicate with me directly? I will make timely adjustments based on your feedback."
Gui Qing was so speechless that she almost rolled her eyes.
She resisted the urge and asked, "Jiang Lu, do you think this is work?"
Jiang Yuxu shook his head. "It's not work, but love and marriage are essentially a collaboration between two people. For collaboration to proceed stably and harmoniously, it must be based on timely communication. Mutual suspicion will increase communication costs and lead to tension in the relationship."
Gui Qing: “…”
Seeing that she was speechless and looked a little angry, Jiang Yuxu felt panicked.
"Did I say something wrong?" Jiang Yuxu asked her humbly.
Gui Qing chuckled, "Next time the studio makes a bionic AI, I'll just bring you over."
Why bother researching robots when they are already available?
That's not true. Nowadays, AI has emotions and will occasionally come up with some cheesy love words to make people laugh, but Lawyer Jiang is still here speaking his truths in a serious manner.
Jiang Yuxu could tell that Gui Qing was disgusted with him. He had heard the same words from Zheng Liling before, otherwise he might not have been able to realize what she meant so quickly.
"My style of doing things is indeed rather old-fashioned, but I will slowly change that," Jiang Yuxu said. "I'm already learning."
Gui Qing: "Let's wait and see."
Although Jiang Yuxu likes to talk about these big truths, he doesn't sound like a father when he says these things, because he is not giving orders from the perspective of a superior. On the contrary, his attitude is very sincere, and he is expressing his truest thoughts.
He is a very cultured person at heart, neither humble nor arrogant, and treats almost everyone the same way.
Tao Jiu had asked her before why, after meeting so many men, she was finally conquered by Jiang Yuxu, a man without any romantic elements.
Even if you are driven by the desire to conquer at the beginning, you should get tired of it after you get it.
In fact, Gui Qing originally thought so too. She thought that she was particularly concerned about Jiang Yuxu because she had not yet obtained him. Once she really got him, she would just play with him for a while and then stop.
Originally, the image of Jiang Yuxu in her mind was a man who was very self-righteous, aloof and ascetic, and difficult to conquer.
He is handsome in appearance, but not so handsome that she would cling to him and not let go.
Her feelings towards him changed because of one thing——
A few days after they had their first relationship, Jiang Yuxu was grabbed by a middle-aged woman with a child when he came to work at the law firm.
Opposite was a mother and son. They were both dirty, their clothes were disheveled, and they looked extremely miserable.
The middle-aged woman tugged at his sleeve and cried, begging him for help. She must have heard of his name and had no choice but to come to him.
Gui Qing went downstairs to the convenience store to buy breakfast. When she came out with her things and saw this scene, she thought Jiang Yuxu would just push him away.
After all, he is a mysophobe.
But Jiang Yuxu did not do so.
When the woman was about to kneel down in front of him, he even raised his hand to support her and stop her.
Gui Qing was about to look away, but just then he stopped.
She heard Jiang Yuxu say, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go in first. Tell me what help you need."
Then he brought the mother and son back to the law firm, arranged them in the reception room, and had someone prepare tea and fruit for them.
Gui Qing didn't know what they talked about specifically, but later learned from a colleague at the law firm that Jiang Yuxu had arranged for a lawyer to represent the mother and son in the lawsuit.
It is said that the mother and son were family members of one of the people involved in an economic case that Jiang Yuxu had beaten before. The other party was originally a small contractor. After the incident, he went bankrupt and his business failed. He began to drink and commit domestic violence. Not only did he abuse his wife, but he also did not spare his children.
The mother and son sought help from many lawyers, but no one was willing to help because they could not afford the fees. They also sought legal aid, but received no feedback.
He came to Heng'an probably because he was desperate and wanted to find a cure.
Everyone in the law firm was surprised that Jiang Yuxu would help them. After all, they were not a charity. If everyone did the same thing, how would the law firm make a profit in the future?
Gui Qing has come into contact with many lawyers and men from all walks of life, but Jiang Yuxu is the only one who does this kind of thing.
He came from a high-ranking family, lived a refined life, and had severe mysophobia, but when the mother and son held him, he did not push them away.
Looking at their eyes, there is no disgust, no pity, and no charity.
He treated every client of the law firm as he did, understanding their needs and arranging the most suitable lawyer.
He gave the mother and son the help they needed most, as well as equal respect.
Instead of putting yourself in a high position to give alms.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, there is no difference between the two, but for the parties involved, they are two completely different concepts.
It just so happens that Gui Qing is the type of person who is easily touched by such details.
