Li Lin said to her calmly, "She confessed. She has been relying on her father Chu Guoan's power to amass wealth over the years. Her villa, luxury cars, luxury bags, jewelry... all were obtained with these illicit incomes."
After saying that, Li Lin turned his head, looked at Xu Wen, and asked, "Does she often show off these things to you?"
Xu Wen bit her lip lightly, nodded slightly, then shook her head and said, "It's not really showing off. She did it for my own good. She asked me to move into her villa and live with her, and even gave me a sports car to drive... But I don't like the feeling of being the center of attention, so I rejected her. Sometimes she would take me to those high-end shopping malls in the provincial capital... To be honest, those jewelry and bags are so dazzling and beautiful, I believe no girl can refuse..."
"But you refused?" Li Lin asked curiously.
He knew that most girls could not resist the temptation of expensive luxury goods, but Xu Wen was completely different.
She usually wears casual sportswear and carries a backpack or a shoulder bag. She looks like an ordinary college student, simple and unpretentious.
Li Lin was really confused as to why she could refuse those expensive gifts Chu Yao gave her.
Xu Wen blinked her eyes, and replied, "As for me, I feel like a flying swallow, I am free and unrestrained... If I were suddenly given gold and silver jewelry and expensive bags, I would be afraid that I would not be able to fly, lose my freedom, lose my dreams... I might even be struck by lightning one day, and fall from the sky under the heavy burden... and be smashed to pieces... I am clean and beautiful, I don't want to be smashed to pieces... so ugly..."
As she spoke, she gestured with her hands and her facial expression was very expressive.
Although these words sounded irrelevant, Li Lin thought about them carefully and actually intuitively felt the simplicity in Xu Wen's heart.
Isn’t Chu Yao an example now?
Originally, she was clean and pretty, but her excessive pursuit of material things made her body heavier and heavier. No matter how she flapped her wings, she could no longer take off. She lost her freedom and her yearning for the future... Until one day, a thunderbolt fell, and she fell from the sky, fell to the ground, and turned into a puddle of mud...
Undoubtedly, Xu Wen is smart and wise. She always keeps her original aspirations unchanged, does not aim too high, and is not swayed by vanity.
So she lives a transparent, comfortable and unrestrained life.
Presumably, her father, who worked at the Yanjing Taxation Bureau, must have instilled correct life values in her since she was young, which is why we have the lovely and innocent Xu Wen of today.
Speaking of which, Li Lin should really thank Xu Wen's father for educating such an excellent daughter to be his wife.
However, what Li Lin didn't know was that the reason why Xu Wen was not tempted by those dazzling materials was because of her.
However, since she grew up in a wealthy family with abundant material wealth, all kinds of precious objects and luxurious enjoyments have become commonplace to her.
It is because of this that she is able to display that detached attitude of being indifferent to material things.
At this moment, she leaned quietly in Li Lin's arms, with a satisfied smile on her face, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with her. She was only immersed in this moment of tranquility and happiness.
