Chapter 179: In a relationship, both parties are like commodities.
Lin Shutang held the cup of milk tea in both hands, staring at the tablecloth with half-closed eyes, without saying a word for a long time.
After a long while, Jiang Qinyuan heard her say, "I don't know."
The answer to this question is actually quite obvious. If you really don't like something, the answer is usually a direct and clear no, not like now, where you seem to be unsure even about it.
Jiang Qinyuan felt only heartache when she saw Lin Shutang like this.
Feeling her gaze, Lin Shutang pretended to be relaxed and said, "But this is not important. I'm only twenty-three now, it's too early to think about this."
Jiang Qinyuan knew that she didn't want her to worry, so she followed her words and said, "Yeah."
Then, thinking of something else Lin Shutang had just said, she continued, "Oh, right? You just said that Li Yansheng transferred the house in Luyuan to you?"
"Um."
Jiang Qinyuan: "This is a good thing! Why are you so depressed?"
While Lin Shutang could share his emotional affairs with friends, he didn't intend to reveal everything. Many times, while accepting the kindness of others, one must also know when to stop. Blindly demanding spiritual value from others over time can easily lead to resentment.
Lin Shutang doesn't want to be Xianglin Sao.
So, she didn't tell the truth and just made up an excuse: "I just feel a little panicked."
"What's there to be afraid of? If he doesn't spend his money on you, is he going to spend it on other women?"
Jiang Qinyuan was so excited that she realized she had gone too far. She then explained, "I'm not saying that Li Yansheng has someone else outside. I was just using an analogy."
Lin Shutang didn't take it to heart and said with a smile: "I know."
Seeing that she really didn't care, Jiang Qinyuan continued, "Remember, don't feel guilty just because he gave you an expensive gift. Don't think that you haven't given enough to him. In a relationship, whether the efforts are equal is not judged by you, but by the other person."
"If he gave you a house, it means he thinks you're worth it. To put it bluntly, in a relationship, both parties are like commodities. He set a high price for you, so there's no need to lower yourself."
Having said that, Jiang Qinyuan lowered her head to take a sip of milk tea, then chewed on pearls and continued, "Of course, this is analyzed from the perspective of the two people judging each other. Putting that aside, you also need to have a clear mind. If the other person says you are not worthy or something like that, then there is no doubt that he is PUAing you, so stay away quickly."
"Cough... cough..." Jiang Qinyuan was so excited that she accidentally inhaled the pearl fragments into her trachea and started coughing non-stop.
Lin Shutang stood up and patted her side. When she stopped coughing, he asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Qinyuan took a sip of milk tea and smoothed it out. "Did you hear what I just said?"
Lin Shutang knew that she was truly thinking about him, and his heart warmed. He smiled and nodded: "I see. Thank you Master Jiang for your guidance."
Jiang Qinyuan rolled her eyes: "With our relationship, why are we still talking about this?"
After leaving the milk tea shop, the two went to find a restaurant to eat.
When they were almost done eating, Jiang Qinyuan received a call from Jiang Beiqian, and then she stood up with her bag on the stool next to her: "Shutang, I'm sorry, my parents are back, I have to leave first and can't wait for you."
Lin Shutang: "It's okay, go quickly! Uncle and aunt have finally come back, don't delay."
After Jiang's parents handed over the company to Jiang Beiqian a few years ago, they went out to travel. They have been away all year round and rarely come back throughout the year.
