Episode 439 Boomerang
Gui Qing didn't even raise her head. "Oh, really? I'll take it away later."
Jiang Yuxu paused for a moment, "Are you leaving?"
Gui Qing: "Yes."
She said nonchalantly, "Don't forget, I live with my mom now. If I don't come home at night, I'll be questioned. I can't just say I'm staying at your place, right?"
Jiang Yuxu: "Why not?"
Gui Qing: "We have nothing to do with each other."
Jiang Yuxu: "..."
His expression turned a little ugly, and his eyes were a little resentful. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear.
He was asking her: Since it doesn’t matter, what does what just happened matter?
Gui Qing understood his expression and gave him an answer with a smile: "Nothing happened just now."
Jiang Yuxu's expression became even darker: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, I don't need you to be responsible." Gui Qing said calmly, "I'll be leaving soon and won't bother you anymore."
Her attitude suddenly became very polite, as if she was talking to someone she didn't know very well.
One thought to heaven, one thought to hell, the gap between the two was too big. Jiang Yuxu's emotions seemed to be on a roller coaster. He was a person who usually did not like to show his emotions, but now he couldn't control his expression well.
"You don't need me to be responsible, but I need you to be responsible." Jiang Yuxu stared at her.
Gui Qing laughed when he heard this. "What responsibility do I have? I've exploited your energy and enjoyed your service, so I should be giving you a tip."
"Or did you accidentally use up the condoms you were going to give to someone else?" She said leisurely, "I'll reimburse you for the whole thing later."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Jiang Yuxu denied.
Before Gui Qing could ask him back, he said, "I'm pursuing you now, don't you know?"
Gui Qing nodded.
Jiang Yuxu: "Since you know, then if we have sex, it means—"
"Does that mean I agree to you?" Gui Qing continued.
Jiang Yuxu: "Did I understand it wrongly?"
Gui Qing smiled faintly, "If having sex means confirming the relationship between a man and a woman, then does that mean Jiang Lu has been cheating on me for the past two years?"
She took a sip of her fruit tea. "After all, Lawyer Jiang sleeps with me twice a week on average. He's never admitted to anyone that we're familiar with each other, nor has he ever said anything about taking responsibility for me. He's only thinking about getting rid of me with money, fearing that my presence would damage your noble image."
Jiang Yuxu: "..."
The most painful thing was when the boomerang pierced his body. He couldn't refute what Gui Qing said at all. He was the one who did all these things - Gui Qing even gave him some leeway and didn't point out his more excessive behavior.
But Jiang Yuxu did not lose his memory, he remembered it himself.
After the first few times they had sex, he would always ask for payment in cash.
He asked her how much money she wanted and also thought about using a house or a car to "get rid of" her, just hoping to shut her up and prevent anyone from knowing about their relationship.
But Gui Qing never asked for any details.
It was probably the fifth or sixth time that he was seduced by her and lost control in the office. After he came to his senses, he decided to break up with her - he could not accept that such a thing would affect the quality of his work.
So, he got dressed and had a negotiation with Gui Qing.
He offered to give her a property in North City, a car, and compensation equal to her annual salary, and asked her to keep her distance from him from now on and not tell anyone what had happened between them.
She listened to his conditions while tidying her clothes, then smiled and shook her head.
He thought she was dissatisfied, so he said, "You can raise any conditions you want and we can negotiate again."
"What you gave me is too little, Jiang Lu." She stood up and walked to him, pointed her finger at his heart, and said, "I have a big appetite."
He could only say: "You can say that as long as I can satisfy you, I will satisfy you."
Although he didn't like this kind of blackmail, he was also responsible for the relationship. He couldn't resist the temptation, so it was only natural that he should pay the price.
After hearing what he said, Gui Qing smiled and said, "I can satisfy you."
"Lawyer Jiang wants me to be your wife, and half of your property will be mine. What do you think?"
Jiang Yuxu did not forget his answer at that time, he remembered every word clearly.
He said: "I have no plans to get married. Even if I do, I will choose someone with decent conduct."
At that time, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his answer. First, he really had no plans to get married. Second, Gui Qing's style did not meet his requirements for a wife.
But recalling it now, Jiang Yuxu suddenly felt that Gui Qing was not wrong.
This is quite a scumbag.
She must have felt very uncomfortable when she heard that, right?
"I'm sorry." Jiang Yuxu pulled himself out of his memories and apologized to Gui Qing immediately: "Those words I said before offended you. I won't make excuses for myself."
"Well, Lawyer Jiang is right." Gui Qing didn't really care. "I'm indeed a relatively open person. I was the one who flirted with you first, so it's normal for you to think that way. So I don't intend to take responsibility this time. That fits my personality, right?"
Jiang Yuxu: “…No.”
He looked into her eyes with a serious expression: "You didn't force me. Both parties are responsible for this matter. I am not a victim, but an accomplice."
"If I had really resisted the temptation, you wouldn't have succeeded." He wouldn't shirk his responsibility. "I just can't accept that I did such a thing. I vented my anger at my own incompetence on you, so I should apologize to you."
Everyone has bad habits. People are often confused by their own situation. Many times, when people are in a certain stage, they are unable to fully analyze themselves. Only by stepping out of the current state and looking back can they find out what problems there were in their behavior at that time.
He received a good education since childhood, and being self-disciplined and having excellent self-control are his inherent labels.
Being praised like this all the time, even someone like him would gradually lose himself - he thought he really was like that.
Her appearance completely broke the label on him. He could not accept that he was a person who could not withstand temptation, and the object of his temptation was a person who was far from the image of the "perfect woman" in his mind.
When people's cognition is shattered, they will forcibly rationalize their behavior. The most common trick is to put all the responsibility on the other party. This is not a good habit, but human nature has always been like this and no one can escape it.
He is not a saint who never makes mistakes. If he is wrong, he is wrong. He must give her the apology he owes her.
As for whether to forgive or not, that was her choice and he had no right to make any demands.
He is feeling upset now because of her statement that she is not going to take responsibility, but Gui Qing must have felt several times more upset than he does now.
Jiang Yuxu took a deep breath and said, "I will pretend that this incident never happened."
Gui Qing: "Well, then?"
Jiang Yuxu: "Then, I will continue to pursue you."
