Mo Yan was speechless looking at her. Did this girl think of herself as Cinderella or a naive princess?
"You're annoying, you're disturbing my business, and you keep talking and talking."
Why should I be nice to someone who tries to slap me in the face with money?
Just because you're naive doesn't mean everyone has to be as naive as you.
If you want to be a little princess, go home. I don't have time to play innocent little princess games with you.
Your son is in his forties and fifties, don't be so childish. Just because they cooperate doesn't mean everyone has to. We still have lives to live, not a fairy tale world.
After Mo Yan finished speaking, the woman was stunned. No one had ever spoken to her like that before; they had always just been coaxing her.
"You're hurting me deeply by saying that."
The woman ran out, and Zhang Ning chased after her.
Actually, Zhang Ning had wanted to say these things for a long time. Her mother's thought process seemed to be different from theirs. She thought very simply and purely, and always felt that what she said was right and that what she thought could be realized immediately.
Her thinking was simple: if she liked something, she would say so; if she didn't, she would make a scene. She wanted to use money to make Mo Yan leave because she thought it would be fun and wanted to experience what her mother-in-law had gone through.
"Zhang Ning, why did she say that about me?"
Zhang Ning looked at his mother's innocent expression and felt helpless; his father had really spoiled his mother too much.
"Mom, your attitude when you came to their door with the check was already bad. You were humiliating them. They were already being kind by not kicking you out. And then you demanded that they like me."
Why do you think that people have to like me?
You can't impose your ideas on others. She and I aren't in a romantic relationship. Please don't do this again, okay?
Zhang Ning couldn't say anything harsh, or his father would beat him.
"Then I just don't understand why she doesn't like you. You're so great, you're my best baby."
"You haven't been home for a long time, that's why I came to find you."
Zhang Ning: "..."
"Thank you for remembering me, but it's okay. Enjoy your time with your dad; whatever makes you happy."
But don't impose your ideas on others, okay?
The woman was a little upset, but she eventually agreed and left in the afternoon.
Zhang Ning wanted to go over and apologize, and also wanted to explain, but found that Mo Yan had closed the door.
When evening came, he couldn't help but call out to Mo Yan, "Can we talk?"
Mo Yan glanced at him and reluctantly agreed.
"Mo Yan, I'm so sorry about today. My mom is well taken care of by my dad, and sometimes she's very simple-minded. She doesn't have any bad intentions..."
Mo Yan said she understood, "Yes, words spoken without ill intent are more hurtful."
Perfect timing! Let me make this clear to you: the three-year lease has expired, and I don't want to rent to you anymore. You can rent somewhere else.
There are many houses like this around here, don't you think?
This was unacceptable to him. "Why? You said you wouldn't raise the rent for me, so why did you suddenly stop renting to him? Is it because of my mom?"
"No, it's not that. I don't like having any entanglements with my tenants. The ambiguity you're showing really bothers me."
That's right, what Zhang Ning showed was ambiguity, not even love. It was the kind of situation where he was nice to you but didn't make it clear, you could sense it but he didn't acknowledge it.
Mo Yan disliked this feeling very much.
"Do you like me?" Zhang Ning quickly asked, not saying it out loud because she was afraid of being rejected and hadn't thought of a way out.
"I don't like it," Mo Yan replied crisply.
"Why?" Zhang Ning felt terrible, but she still wanted to ask why.
Mo Yan thought it was a bit outrageous; what kind of talk was that?
"Do I need a reason if I don't like it? Is it not enough to not be moved or have any feelings?"
Zhang Ning: "..."
Why did you have to say it out loud? Wouldn't it be better if we just stayed like this?
Zhang Ning felt a little uncomfortable, but if he didn't say anything, he could still deceive himself.
"There's no need for it. I don't like ambiguity either. If I don't like it, I just don't like it. There's no need to hide anything."
If I don't tell you, you'll get more and more involved, which wouldn't be fair to you.
There's no need to waste your time on me. You can go and meet more people. There's no reason to like someone, and there's no reason to dislike them either.
In short, you didn't move me.
All other reasons are excuses; this statement is the only truth.
"I understand." Zhang Ning smiled bitterly. This landlord really didn't give him any hope, turning him into despair. "Although we can't be boyfriend and girlfriend, I really like this place and really want to expand my private kitchen business. Please continue to rent the house to me. Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore."
And my relationship with Xin Xin has nothing to do with you!
He truly loved Xin Xin, which is why he allowed her to be his daughter.
"Don't worry about that. I'm just telling you that there's nothing between us. Whether Xin Xin wants to contact you or not is her own business."
Zhang Ning returned home heartbroken. How could he have fallen for such a cold-blooded woman? He was in so much pain and despair.
Most importantly, this woman went too far, completely blocking all avenues and leaving no hope at all.
Can't we just enjoy this ambiguity?
When Xin Xin came back, she felt that something was wrong.
Actually, during this time, Xin Xin could tell that her godfather liked her mother...
When Xin Xin got there, she found out that her mother had rejected her godfather, and in a very thorough way.
