Chapter 611: Fraudulently Coming to This Point

The two came out of the teacher's house and the car slowly drove out of Hosei University.

Ji Chuan had to appear in court in the afternoon. He didn't drink any alcohol, so Xu Hui drank two more glasses for him. The midday sun shone into the car, making Xu Hui feel warm and his head a little dizzy.

She heard a quiet male voice beside her, "Go to sleep if you're tired."

Xu Hui shook his head and sat up straight, "I'm not sleepy."

He glanced at her sideways. Her eyelids were clearly failing to stay open. He asked, "What time did you go to bed last night?"

Xu Hui: "I didn't pay attention to the time."

"Spent the night creating a fake identity?"

He stared at her, half smiling.

The corners of her lips curved slightly. "I never fight a battle unprepared. Didn't I use it today? Didn't I embarrass you?"

He suppressed his smile and said calmly, "My girlfriend is mine. I never care what others think."

"It's one thing for you not to care, but I came out here with you because I absolutely cannot tolerate others laughing at you. The moment I walked in, I knew that guy surnamed Wu was no pushover. He was clearly targeting you. If you don't give him a hard time in person, he'll definitely take advantage of you."

When she said this, it was entirely from the perspective of fulfilling her duties. He paid her such a high salary, and she definitely couldn't take the money for nothing.

But the speaker may not have meant it, but the listener may have taken it seriously. To Ji Chuan, these words had a different meaning. Combined with her sharp-tongued performance at the dinner table, Ji Chuan felt that she was blatantly defending him.

His tone softened. "What do you think? Yale University psychology? Dr. Mark? Have you always been this way when you were out there?"

To say that he is swindling is an understatement; to be more precise, he is bragging.

She smiled and said, "The world is just a huge makeshift team. When I go out, I have to give myself an identity."

"Over the years, I've long understood that the vast majority of people in this society don't deserve to hear your truth. I'm not saying your classmates today are bad, I just feel that, under the circumstances at that time, lies were more appropriate than the truth."

"We've been taught since childhood to be honest, as if lying is wrong. But when we enter society, we realize that many times, in many situations, telling the truth will put us at a disadvantage."

"If you want to say it's a fraud, then I admit it is."

His face darkened slightly, "I don't mean to criticize you."

How could he bear to criticize her? He just saw through today's events how she had stumbled along over the years.

How many times did she fall, how many times did she suffer in silence, and how many times did she endure the cold stares before she developed this ability to protect herself?

Xu Hui: "I know, I just couldn't help but say a few more words."

She didn't know why she had to explain so much to him. It sounded like she was proving her innocence. It was probably because of what he said, "You are a fraud."

Ji Chuan softened his voice a bit, "You've already boasted so much, how are you going to cover it up in the future?"

She casually replied, "It's very simple. Just say you've broken up. She's just a girlfriend, not a marriage partner."

Ji Chuan was secretly happy just a second ago, but in that second, he was shot directly in the heart by an arrow.

He didn't say anything for a long time.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became depressing. Xu Hui turned his head to the window and subconsciously tightened his fingers.

After an unknown amount of time, the car stopped at the intersection waiting for the red light.

He took the initiative to bring up a new topic, "Are you interested in psychology?"

She was a little embarrassed to speak up, so she simply replied, "Not really, I just read some books on the subject occasionally."

He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her: "Do you like reading?"

"It's okay. I read it occasionally. I read a lot of different things, mostly psychology. I deal with people all the time, so it's probably due to my business needs."
