Chapter 41 - Asking for Money
This last sentence really hit home with Wen Xiangsheng. She wasn't a strong woman to begin with, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't anxious to get married. She was practically dying of anxiety, but every man she could find attractive looked down on her. Yet, despite appearing to be all things calm and pure, many people knew her true colors, making it impossible for her to exonerate herself.
In the end, her family came up with a plan: to keep her quiet and downplay her presence. The reason she'd sought out Master Feiye this time was to accomplish something, to showcase her abilities to the man she'd fallen for. But if Master Feiye continued to spread rumors, especially to those gossipers, she'd end up losing more than she gained. It wouldn't be worth it.
"Aye, what nonsense are you talking about? What is our relationship? How could I watch you suffer and do nothing? Didn't I come to find you just after returning to China?" Wen Xiangsheng held Shi Feiye's hand, as if she felt the same pain as her:
"You know me. I've always been kindhearted. It's hard for me to see strangers suffer, let alone you. Don't worry. Although I don't have much money, I still have a few hundred thousand. I'll transfer it to you later. Use it for emergencies first. Don't be polite with me."
Fine, whatever she could get out was good. Shi Feiye didn't mind. She just wanted to annoy Wen Xiangsheng. If she could really make her spit out some blood, even if it wasn't much, it would be good.
Wen Xiangsheng wanted to bring up something else again: "What did you do after Mr. Qin went bankrupt?"
Shi Feiye ate casually, "How would I know that? You know me too. My major had nothing to do with business. Even if he told me everything, I wouldn't understand. Anyway, I have food to eat now. He's always been a busy man. I don't know what he's busy with. I wouldn't understand even if I asked, so I just didn't ask. I wanted a divorce, but then I heard him say he didn't owe any debts, so we can just live like this."
"I heard that Mr. Guan came to see you later?"
"Yeah, but he's not a good guy. No matter how incompetent I am, I can't lose face in front of him, right? I'll just pretend to be loyal to Qin Buzhu and make him mad. He couldn't compare to Qin Buzhu before, and he still can't compare to him now. Although I'm not a very powerful person, the fact that Qin Buzhu hasn't done anything to me even at this point shows that he's a good person. Of course, I trust a person with good character better than a scumbag."
"But maybe Mr. Guan only realized that the person he truly loved was you after he lost you?" Wen Xiangsheng seemed to be thinking for Shi Feiye, "You have never suffered hardship before. When will this hard life end?"
Okay, let's start testing. Shi Feiye raised his head from the food and said with a smile:
"Actually, I don't think life is that hard these days. When I had money, I was always full of troubles and had all sorts of thoughts in my head, and I could only relieve them by buying things. Now, it's much more peaceful. I can do whatever I want. I'm not someone who can't handle hardship. Wasn't I just living this way before I went to college? So, it's pretty good this way, and I'm not dissatisfied. I just have to figure out how to make money later."
