Chapter 65: Can you please believe your brother?
No, don’t like it, don’t want to see it.
In the past, I could tell him everything that was on my mind and seek comfort from him for any grievances I had. But now, I can only say one sad thing: "I'm fine."
"When did you learn to lie?" Shen Yu said.
Shuang Xu didn't expect to be exposed so quickly. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He asked, holding his fingers, "Did Brother Zifeng tell you that?"
Shen Yu's voice was assimilated by the electric current, and it sounded indifferent: "Didn't I tell you, call me if you have anything."
"It's just a blind date." Shuang Xu said, "It's not a big deal. There's no need to tell you about it."
There was silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Shen Yucai said, "If you don't like me, then don't meet me. Don't put yourself in a difficult position. You are still young, and you don't need a blind date yet. Mom, I will take care of it."
It's not a matter of grievance, it's just a search for peace. In the adult world, no one can be 100% satisfied.
Being willful is a privilege you have before the age of seventeen, when you are spoiled by everyone.
Shuang Xu said calmly: "Brother, I don't feel wronged. I'm already 22 years old, and there's nothing wrong with a blind date. And he's quite good, the one chosen by my godmother..."
Before she could finish her words, Shen Yu interrupted her: "Do you like him?"
Frost Preface was silent.
"Xiaojiu, I brought you home and raised you, not to let you suffer any injustice."
Shen Yu lowered his voice, and Shuang Xu suddenly remembered the first time they met on the street, when she was crying with tears in her eyes, and his gentle and patient tone.
Her nose suddenly felt sore and she had no time to hold back the tears that were about to burst out.
"No matter what, you don't need to sacrifice yourself. Just be happy and don't worry about anything else. Leave all the problems to me."
Shen Yu said: "Trust me, brother, okay?"
Tears silently flowed down his face. Shuang Xu hid the sob in his throat and uttered a muffled "hmm".
After hanging up the phone, Shuang Xu buried his face in the pillow, silent and motionless.
She knew how lucky she was to have met Shen Yu at the age of eight.
Occasionally, in the rare moments, I would think to myself, would it be better if I had never met him? If you don't own something, you don't have to worry about it being taken away.
Her cell phone dinged beside her, and she reached over to it. When she raised her face, she found the pillow was wet.
This is a message from Wei Qian.
[Are you very busy these days? I can't make an appointment with you. Can you spare some time to have dinner together tomorrow? ]
Shuangxu thought for a moment and replied: [OK]
The next day, half an hour after the agreed time, Wei Qian called and asked her where she was and said he would come to pick her up. At that time, Shuang Xu was already sitting in the French restaurant he had booked.
"I'm already here, just come over here."
Shuang Xu waited in the restaurant for another forty minutes before Wei Qiancai arrived late. He sat down and apologized, "I'm sorry, the traffic was really bad."
Shuang Xu didn't mind his lateness today. She had originally intended to make things clear in person.
"It's okay. I just need to sort out my thoughts."
Perhaps because he was late, Wei Qian did not ask about her taste when ordering.
Frost was indeed hungry, and the French cuisine serving procedure is very particular, with the first appetizer being foie gras.
She drank her wine and wondered at which step it would be best to bring up those unpleasant topics.
The waiter cleared the plates and brought the side dish, French-style baked snails.
Fortunately, the main course was steak and sea bass, which she could still eat.
But before serving the dish, Wei Qian took out a very delicate flat box and handed it over.
"I wanted to give it to you after dinner, but I can't wait to see your expression when you receive it. Open it and take a look."
Frost opened the box and found a diamond necklace. The main stone was estimated to be about five carats, surrounded by a circle of diamonds, the light of the diamonds sparkled gorgeously under the light.
"I'm sorry, I can't take it." She handed the necklace back.
"You can take it." Wei Qian said.
"You can see that I like you very much. If you don't dislike me, I think our relationship can be confirmed today. You are my girlfriend, so why can't I accept the gift?"
He trades a necklace for a girlfriend. He is really good at business.
"What do you like about me?" Shuang Xu asked, "This is only the second time we've met, and you don't even know me."
"We'll have time to understand it slowly in the future."
"The order is wrong." said Shuang Xu.
"What's wrong with the order?"
"You have to understand me first before you can say you like me." Shuang Xu put the box on the table and pushed it back in front of him.
How could a man who was involved in the business world and had a keen mind not understand that she was rejecting him?
Wei Qian asked: "Is it because we have known each other for too short a time? Although we have only known each other for less than a week, I already know you very well."
"All you know is my family background, my resume, my date of birth and my zodiac sign, which can be found by asking anyone. You know neither my personality nor my preferences. For example, if you had asked me about my taste, you would have known that I don't like foie gras and I never eat snails."
Wei Qian immediately looked at the cutlery in front of her and noticed that her knife and fork were almost unused.
"You also know that I am very busy with my career and don't have much time to spend with women, so I may not know how to get along with women, but you can't deny me as a person because of this. If you want, I can temporarily put the company's business aside and revolve around you like other men. Will you be happy then? If you don't like these dishes, you can say so and change them. It's meaningless to make a fuss about it."
Shuang Xu suddenly felt like laughing. It seemed that she wouldn’t be able to eat the main course today.
never mind.
"Then I'll make it clearer." She looked directly at Wei Qian and said bluntly, "You don't like me, you like Shen Yu's sister, Song Mianzhi's daughter."
"If you say so." Wei Qian finally revealed the shrewd and utilitarian face of a businessman, "Miss Song, I thought people like you would not be so naive. The meaning of a rich lady like you is to tie a truly valuable man to consolidate the prosperity of your family. I at least still have some genuine affection for you. If it were someone else..."
He smiled with some contempt, "Apart from being Shen Yu's adopted sister and the daughter of the Song family, do you think there is anything else about you that is worth pursuing?"
"Yes. Even if my last name is Song and I'm not my brother's sister, there are still people who love me. You think I'm not worthy because you're pursuing those two points." Shuang Xu said, "On the one hand, you want to use me as a springboard to squeeze into this circle, and on the other hand, you look down on me. Don't you think you're contradicting yourself?"
Wei Qian's attitude of being in control of everything began to show cracks. In fact, he could see that Shuang Xu had never liked him from the beginning. Now she had made it clear to his face, and her words and deeds were implying that he was currying favor. This nonchalant yet condescending attitude deeply hurt his self-esteem as a man - a successful man.
"To be honest, you don't like me because you look down on my family background. You know best what your situation is in the Song family. If it weren't for Shen Yu supporting you, who would take you seriously? You won't have a better choice than me."
Shuang Xuyao doesn't care whether others take her seriously or not. She only cares about the people she cares about.
"You have low self-esteem and are conceited. Aren't you going to have schizophrenia?"
Having said this, she no longer gave him any so-called face: "I came to see you today to make it clear to you that we are not suitable for each other and you don't need to waste your time on me. Now it seems that I don't need to say more."
Standing up and slinging her bag over her shoulder, she looked at Wei Qian coldly and said, "In fact, your way of pursuing someone is really cheap. A few irrelevant greetings on WeChat, a few bouquets of flowers, and a mediocre necklace. Mr. Wei, what you have paid is less than one thousandth of what I have ever received. You may be able to use it to seduce a college student, but if you want to seduce me, at least give me something decent."
