Chapter 402: They're all cut from the same cloth
Xie Zheng was filled with righteous indignation when he mentioned Lu Ya.
He angrily recounted to Bai Zhi what had happened at the department store that day.
Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly as she listened.
Of course, she wasn't as angry as Xie Zheng.
She had long been prepared that Lu Ya would most likely not give up on Li Wei so easily.
After all, if she hadn't unconditionally trusted Li Wei in her past life, she wouldn't have been deceived by him for so many years.
She believed that Li Wei must have slipped up at some point during his years of deception in her past life.
Lu Ya was simply fooled by him.
Therefore, it's impossible for her to give up on Li Wei based on just this one incident in this lifetime.
Lu Ya's infatuation with Li Wei far exceeded everyone's imagination.
Of course, it's also because Li Wei is too cunning and too good at sweet talk.
Lu Ya herself is rather naive, having been overly protected by her family, and has never experienced the wickedness of human nature since childhood.
She imagined the world to be far too wonderful.
They have absolutely no sense of caution towards people.
Plus, love comes first.
A few sweet words from others can easily fool someone.
"What about that girl? What was her attitude?" Bai Zhi asked Xie Zheng.
Li Wei is still a penniless pauper, so how could Zhang Qiuhua be willing to follow him?
You mean Zhang Qiuhua?
When this person was mentioned, Xie Zheng shook his head in disappointment, "He's obviously no good either, just like Li Wei."
I think her purpose in getting close to Li Wei is the same as Li Wei's purpose in deceiving Lu Ya; frankly, it's all about money.
They all came from the suburbs to study, and their families are probably not well-off. After going to school in the city, they'll inevitably compare themselves to their city classmates. Their families probably won't provide enough for living expenses, and their vanity will get the better of them. Even if they don't like Li Wei, they won't explicitly reject her; they'll just keep her hanging on and spend money on themselves.
Gu Xiaoyue pouted and chimed in, "That girl is quite pretty, but she looks like she's got a lot of tricks up her sleeve. You wouldn't believe it, Sister Baizhi, when she saw such a handsome man like Brother Zheng, her eyes were practically glued to him. Every time she spoke, she was looking at Brother Zheng. When we were about to come back, she even chased after us, trying to explain to Brother Zheng."
Gu Xiaoyue looked at her with disdain, and she couldn't stand girls who would fawn over any high-quality man they saw.
They don't even look in the mirror to see if they're qualified.
Xie Zheng glanced at the indignant Gu Xiaoyue and reminded her, "Xiaoyue, you can't be like those kids. If you have any difficulties, you can tell us and I can help you, but you can't use your beauty to get anything at school. You must be down-to-earth, study hard, and not have any other crooked thoughts."
Xie Zheng knew that Gu Xiaoyue and her mother were not well-off.
In addition, she attended an arts college, which was quite expensive.
Among the classmates were many children from wealthy families with excellent economic conditions.
He was afraid that Gu Xiaoyue, because of her inferiority complex, might have the same thoughts as Zhang Qiuhua.
Gu Xiaoyue grabbed Xie Zheng's arm and giggled, acting coquettishly, "Of course I wouldn't do that. You love me so much, if I need money I can just ask you, right? Why would I need to use my looks to take advantage of other men?"
Xie Zheng slapped her hand away, "Let go of me, you have no manners."
He sat down in a chair, looked at Bai Zhi, and said in a serious tone, "What do you think we should do about Lu Ya's situation? I think that kid Li Wei will definitely cling to Lu Ya, that cash cow, and won't let her go easily. Lu Ya is so easy to fool; I bet a few sweet words will make her believe that guy unconditionally again."
Lu Yana's performance today...
If he were a member of the Lu family, he would definitely kick him a couple of times.
Bai Zhi, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, saying calmly, "The facts are right in front of us. If she still doesn't realize it, what can we do? We've done everything we can. If she doesn't open her eyes and see the facts clearly, there's nothing we can do. Saying more will only make enemies."
Xie Zheng was a kind-hearted man. Seeing Bai Zhi's attitude, he became anxious and said, "Then just watch her get deceived by this scumbag."
Bai Zhi met his eager gaze and smiled, "If you can't bear it, you can help her. Find more evidence to put in front of her, and she won't be able to give up."
Xie Zheng rolled his eyes, looking helpless. "What evidence are you looking for? Didn't I tell you? That Li Wei denied his relationship with Zhang Qiuhua right in front of us. He said they were just classmates, and that he brought Zhang Qiuhua here today to help Lu Ya try on clothes and give her a surprise. Don't you think he has any shame?"
"The key is Lu Yaxin!!!"
Gu Xiaoyue snorted coldly, "That's right. When he was trying to take my clothes before, he clearly said it was his girlfriend, but he shamelessly pulled her into his arms in public. It was utterly indecent."
He denied their relationship in the blink of an eye. Lu Ya had watched the whole thing, and she couldn't believe her eyes. To believe that scumbag's lies was utterly foolish.
Xie Zheng was also exhausted. Seeing Bai Zhi's indifferent expression, he was too lazy to get involved. "Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about their mess. Let's respect other people's fate. I won't earn that little bit of hard-earned money from Aunt Wang anymore."
Upon hearing Xie Zheng's words, Bai Zhi and Gu Xiaoyue looked at him with strange expressions.
His expression was full of disbelief; Xie Zheng was actually making money off Wang Shufen.
Bai Zhi looked speechless.
He really knows how to make money from anything.
Gu Xiaoyue's expression was even more unpredictable.
She looked at him in surprise and asked, "Brother Zheng, are you short of money? How can a singer as famous as you be short of money? Didn't your record company pay you?"
She was even thinking of having her brother Zheng pay for her living expenses first, and then paying him back after she graduated.
Zheng just said to contact him if you need anything.
I never expected him to be so poor.
Gu Xiaoyue cast a sympathetic glance at Xie Zheng.
"What are you two looking at? I'm just trying to make money through hard work. I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so why not earn some extra cash? You can't expect me to help her for free, can you? My relationship with her isn't that close yet."
Xie Zheng explained the reason, "Besides, Aunt Wang and I have a mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation. If I help her unconditionally without taking any reward, she won't trust me."
Wang Shufen was also a suspicious person; if he helped her for free, she would definitely think he was playing her for a fool.
Upon hearing his explanation, Gu Xiaoyue immediately clapped her hands in encouragement, "Brother Zheng, you're amazing! You're such a big singer, yet you're still so kind and considerate of others. I know you're not doing this for money; you're just trying to put Aunt Wang at ease."
Xie Zheng looked at her with doting eyes, raised his hand and patted her head, "Xiaoyue understands me best."
Gu Xiaoyue smiled brightly, "Of course, who am I? I'm the person who knows you best and trusts you the most in this world."
Bai Zhi watched speechlessly from the side. She waved her hand, dismissing them, "Alright, if you two have nothing else to do, you should go back now."
Xie Zheng looked at her and asked, "Why are you rushing me? Do you have something to do?"
"Um, something came up."
She wants to take a nap.
