Chapter 1004: Reciprocity 5
Zheng Jinrui was a straightforward man, and he got straight to the point: "Could you please, Comrade Qingxue, be a matchmaker for me? No, it's not a trouble, it's a plea, please! I'm afraid if I keep waiting like this, I won't get what I want until the end of time."
Lu Jiang reacted immediately and pointed inside the house.
Zheng Jinrui nodded heavily and whispered, "That little bastard Shen Feihong, I helped him get married to Comrade Zhou Yulan, and helped him find a job and supported him to become the deputy factory director. He promised me solemnly that he would speak well of me in front of Comrade Qingxue, but I ended up waiting for years."
Chen Xuenniang had no intention of getting married and had long ago rejected his pursuit on the grounds that she came from a brothel. But he liked Chen Xuenniang, her knowledge and demeanor, her calm beauty, and the way she dealt with people.
Others always use the phrase "growing out of the mud without being stained" to describe the purity of the lotus. Zheng Jinrui feels that this phrase is more suitable for Chen Xuenniang.
"I know that some people look down on Comrade Chen Xuenniang without saying it. But I am different. I know what she went through, and I feel distressed and ashamed. If I were a capable person, I would have met her earlier and saved her from suffering earlier. Unfortunately, I had accomplished nothing at that time and did not know her. I think it is not too late now, and I am willing to spend the rest of my life protecting her." Zheng Jinrui's attitude was very solemn, and every word was full of sincere admiration. "People have to pursue something in their life. Others pursue fame and fortune, but my pursuit is her. I think she is a thousand times and ten thousand times more important than the so-called fame and fortune."
Zheng Jinrui smiled embarrassedly when he said this, "I have been pursuing her for almost twenty years, but it is useless."
"You are just respecting Comrade Chen Xuenniang's wishes." No force, just respect.
Lu Jiang expressed his admiration for Zheng Jinrui. You know, there are many overbearing people in the world who say "I am good to you, but you must marry me" and always use public opinion to put pressure on the other party, regardless of whether the other party is willing or not.
Since Chen Xuenniang didn't want to get married, Zheng Jinrui has been protecting her secretly. To be honest, he is a real man!
Not everyone is willing to spend nearly twenty years to protect a relationship that may not have a successful outcome, especially men.
Zheng Jinrui touched his head, "I just think that men should act like men. Forcing things won't work. Forcing things won't bring happiness. Comrade Qingxue has a good relationship with Xue Niang. I think she has a better relationship with him than Comrade Wang Cuilan, who has known her for several years. They are like real sisters. Maybe she can convince Xue Niang to change her mind."
At this point, Zheng Jinrui cupped his hands and said, "Comrade Lu Jiang, please, please, whether I can be happy in the second half of my life depends on whether Comrade Qingxue can convince Xue Niang."
Lu Jiang couldn't help but say, "Listen to what you said! You have been pursuing Comrade Chen Xueniang for almost twenty years and still haven't been able to make Comrade Chen Xueniang change her mind. How can my wife convince Comrade Chen Xueniang with just a few words? However, I can ask Qingxue to help you find out what Comrade Chen Xueniang thinks of you, so that you can pursue her further."
Zheng Jinrui was quite disappointed when he heard the first half of Lu Jiang's words, but he clapped his hands immediately after hearing the latter part. "I also want to know what Comrade Chen Xueniang thinks of me. Very good, very good! As for marriage, although Comrade Qingxue is invited to be the matchmaker, I dare not hold too high hopes."
I have said long ago that I will not force Chen Xueniang. Not before, not now, and not in the future.
