Chapter 214 Knowing you is the thing I regret most in my life
How come it happened that we have nothing in common?
He wanted to refute.
But he suddenly remembered that every time he saw Xu Yueqing and Ji Bingqian together recently.
Xu Yueqing always talked to him with a smile on her face.
Jiang Chejin suddenly asked, "You don't have much to say to me, but you have a lot to say to my uncle?"
"Your uncle and I." Xu Yueqing's voice was not loud, but it penetrated the rustling wind on the rooftop and reached his ears. "Although we don't have many topics in common, he knows how to respect others."
Jiang Chejin's head buzzed.
Xu Yueqing continued: "Jiang Chejin, we have been together for so many years, and you have never put me on an equal footing."
Xu Yueqing's eyes fell calmly on his face: "I haven't had much contact with your uncle, but he always gives me enough respect and makes me see equality."
Respect? Equality?
These two words were like two needles, piercing Jiang Chejin's nerves.
He thought it was ridiculous and even wanted to laugh.
"When did I disrespect you?" His brows were twisted into a knot, and his voice was filled with confusion that he himself didn't even notice. "Xu Yueqing, tell me honestly!"
"I've been with you for so many years, living with you in that shabby house without even a light, no air conditioning in the summer, and no heating in the winter!"
"I accompanied you to the night market, ate at street stalls, and attended those boring public classes! Which of my friends didn't laugh at me and say I was embarrassing? But if I didn't respect you, would I condescend to accompany you to do all this?"
He thought these words would make her feel guilty and remind her of his kindness.
He had given so much. He was a young master of the Jiang family, and he had spent five years with her like that. Wasn't that enough? Wasn't that respect?
But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xu Yueqing suddenly laugh.
The laughter was very light, like a feather, but it was cold and scratched his cheek painfully.
What are you laughing at?
"Look," Xu Yueqing said word by word, his voice clear and cruel, "you also admitted that you condescended to do all this with me."
She mimicked his words, each one like a slap in the face.
"Instead of treating me as your girlfriend from the beginning and taking it for granted that we should live as a couple."
Jiang Chejin opened his mouth and found that he couldn't refute a single word.
Is there any conflict here?
His heart was in turmoil, and he still didn't understand.
If he hadn't considered Xu Yueqing as his girlfriend, he would never have stepped into that musty and shabby house and lived there for several years.
He would not turn down countless invitations from his brothers just to be with her, and would not let the young men around him tease him about finding a poor woman.
He clearly doesn't have to suffer all this!
But he is willing to endure all these hardships with her. Isn’t that enough?
Xu Yueqing seemed to see through all his confusion, and the last bit of mockery in his eyes disappeared, leaving only complete coldness.
She took a step forward, and her eyes, which were once filled with starlight, now looked like two bottomless black holes.
"If you loved me," she said bluntly, completely tearing apart all his self-deceptive facades, "you wouldn't have lied to me from the beginning."
"Jiang Chejin," Xu Yueqing called him by his full name, her voice no longer cold. "I've lived for over twenty years and have never regretted anything, except for one thing."
Xu Yueqing looked at his pale face and slowly uttered the last words.
"Knowing you is the thing I regret most in my life."
