Chapter 716 You're Too Easy to Foole
Fu Yanzun was amused by her words, "You're too easy to fool, aren't you? You think I can just buy you some cheap snacks and trick you into my heart? Actually, I'm not exactly the 'warm guy' type. Men who know how to pursue girls always say sweet words that make them feel warm. Didn't you encounter that when you were in school?"
Tang Wan'er shook her head. "No, the boys around me treat me like a girl. They don't see me as a girl at all, so how could they possibly say sweet words to me?"
Fu Yanzun was clearly a little confused. "Why? You're so cute, how could no boys pursue you?"
"Have you forgotten that I usually dress like a delinquent girl in front of others, even at school? Do you think any boy would say sweet words to me when he sees me like that every day?"
However, I'm not stupid. I can tell who's sincere and who's fake. As a girl who wasn't valued or loved growing up, I'm naturally quite sensitive and not the innocent, romantic type.
I can tell at a glance who is genuine and who is fake to me.
"Then you didn't realize that An Ran's feelings for you were fake either?"
"..."
Even though she had long since seen through An Ran's true colors, she still regretted being friends with her in the first place.
But even now, when Anran is mentioned,
It would make her feel uncomfortable.
The sincerity she once showed wasn't fake. Even though she betrayed her, those feelings can't be taken back.
"What's wrong with you? Can you please stop bringing up things that are hard to talk about? I admit I'm relatively less guarded around girls. I always think girls are weak and should be protected. Anran always looks so pitiful in front of me. Her family isn't well-off, and she's easily bullied at school. I naively thought she needed my protection. But I never imagined that she was actually acting in front of me. Either I'm too blind, or her acting is too good, and I can't tell what she's really like anymore."
Fu Yanzun didn't want to upset her, so he tightened his arms around her.
"Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. You always get upset whenever I mention her. But I ran into her at the mall today, and she even came over to say hello. Guess what my reaction was?"
Tang Wan'er shook her head, looking at him with a puzzled expression, "What's your reaction?"
Fu Yanzun's lips curled into a smug, wicked smile. "I didn't react at all. I didn't say a word to her, or even look at her. I just walked away. It seems like I had a friend with me today. I'm afraid I've lost all face!"
Just thinking about An Ran's frustrated face instantly cheered Tang Wan'er up.
"She likes you so much, yet you ignore her. I'm afraid tonight..."
Were you hiding under the covers and crying secretly?
"Actually, Uncle An is a very good person, unlike An Ran at all. Uncle An has been honest and upright all these years, and he has always been very clear about his role. He is also very loyal to my father. Whenever there is something going on at home, he is always the first to rush to the front, but he never asks for credit. He feels that my father has given him such a good job, such a high salary, and has helped the family so much, so it is only right for him to do anything for the family."
Tang Wan'er had also met An Ran's father, and he did indeed give the impression of being a very honest and simple old man.
"An Ran doesn't look like her father at all. Could she have been adopted?"
Fu Yanzun smiled, not really thinking there was anything to be surprised about. There are many temptations in this society, and many people gradually lose their original colors when faced with this dazzling world.
"Society is a big melting pot, and people's hearts are complicated. Humans are always greedy and insatiable. How many people can stay true to their original aspirations?"
I've seen plenty of people like An Ran, but I never imagined it would happen to someone I know.
People like her, who come from humble backgrounds in the countryside and then move to the city, are prone to going astray if they have a strong sense of vanity and a competitive spirit. They don't want to be looked down upon; frankly, it's a deep-seated inferiority complex. They always feel bad about their origins and are afraid to face their past, which leads to a bit of bluffing, just like those nouveau riche who suddenly become wealthy and start showing off.
