180 An equally good man, but not him, would not fall in love with me
Xu Jiaojiao sat down on the seat next to her, covering her face and crying, "Why, why! I just want to find a man with good conditions and good treatment for me. Why should I look for him if others can find him?" Not yet?"
Dai Huimin patted her back helplessly, "Okay, don't think about this again in the future. You don't have any capital. Do you think a man with good conditions is too stupid to scheme against you and has to come to you? Where? There are so many true loves that come to you. It is your own destiny to meet them. If you don't meet them, you can't force them. This time is the result of your forcing them. Do you still remember after you suffered a loss? "
Xu Jiaojiao cried and nodded, still a little unhappy.
Dai Huimin didn't care about being embarrassed in the coffee shop, and said: "You will fulfill your duties from now on, and your marriage will naturally be yours. Mom has never asked you to find a rich man, and I have never felt that you are with your father." Is there anything bad about life? Our conditions were not good before, but with the joint efforts of the couple, we are slowly living better and better, which is also indescribable happiness. A good life is achieved by one's own efforts. , it’s not achieved by taking shortcuts. You may look at Lin Chu’s beauty, but do you know how many things she has endured and how much hard work she has done?”
"I have never thought about marrying into a rich family. I just want to find an ordinary person who is responsible and motivated, and we can live a better life together. The more this happens, the better the marriage is waiting for. The more forced I am like you. , on the contrary, the less you can get it. After this incident, you should think about it carefully."
Xu Jiaojiao's crying gradually became quieter. Lin Chu knew that she actually understood it now, but she just couldn't get over this hurdle and felt uncomfortable.
After all, she had such high expectations for Cheng Ziming, so her current disappointment and resentment could not be calmed down overnight. She still had to give her some time.
Lin Chu said: "After you resign, there is no need to rush to find a job. Just calm down at home. In fact, I think that if you want to live a good life, it is better to rely on yourself than anyone else. Only what you earn is The most reliable. You can rely on a man for a while, but when a man likes you, he thinks you are good at everything, and if he doesn’t like you, he will leave. You have been relying on a man, but when the man leaves, you have nothing, and you are It’s back to its original shape.”
She didn't know which words touched Xu Jiaojiao. She wiped her tears randomly and then raised her head to look at Lin Chu.
His eyes were still red, bulging out like fish eyes, and he kept sniffing.
Lin Chu simply gave her all the tissues and said patiently: "Your status and family background are not good enough, but after all, the proportion of rich people in this world is only a small amount. Not everyone is lucky enough to be born as a rich lady. Most people still have to rely on their own efforts to struggle. If you can get into University B with your own ability, it means you are capable. Since you have this ability, why do you have to take shortcuts and crooked ways?"
"You can still make a career on your own. A woman has her own career and enough money to live freely and freely. She can buy whatever she wants, go wherever she wants to play, and she can educate herself if she wants. , it is optional to make yourself more sublimated, and you don’t need to rely on a man’s giving. At that time, you will feel that it doesn’t matter whether you have a man or not, everything depends on your own heart. Only interact with yourself sincerely in love. At that time, it will be you who picks the man, instead of letting the man pick you without dignity like before."
"You are smart, but the premise is that you must use your smart energy in the right way, work hard to improve yourself, use your own abilities to make yourself and your family live a good life, so that your parents don't have to work outside at such an old age. . In less than ten years, your parents will reach retirement age, right? They are still busy outside at such an old age, who do you think they are doing it for? "
Xu Jiaojiao's mouth moved, her face relaxed, showing a little guilt.
Lin Chu pursed his lips and said: "Don't they know that you are very ambitious, so they work hard and think of ways to make more money so that you can live a good life? Can't you bear to look at you? At such an old age, do your parents still have to worry about you?"
"If your intelligence is used in the right way, if you use it to improve yourself, and rely on your own abilities to improve your life and social scope, it will be enough. There is no need to compare with those entrepreneurial bosses, there are many people who are more capable than you Yes, you are incomparable. Face your own abilities, and it is enough to take steady steps step by step. If it is used in such evil ways, then your brain is not strong enough. Everyone in the circle you want to break into is They are human beings. If you are so smart and play tricks on them, don’t you become stupid? Cheng Ziming said you were right on this point. "
"Stop talking, stop talking!" Xu Jiaojiao cried, "I understand, I understand everything!"
When Lin Chu saw her expression, he didn't know if she really understood.
"You said you understood, but we couldn't believe it for a while. It all depends on your future performance." Lin Chu said, thought for a while, and said to Dai Huimin, "I'll take you back."
"No, no, you don't need to worry about us. We have already wasted a lot of time on you today. We can just go by ourselves." Dai Huimin quickly waved her hand and said.
She was really afraid of causing trouble to Lin Chu.
Lin Chu had a kind heart, but the kinder her heart was, the more regretful Dai Huimin felt. He was so ashamed of her, so how could he have the face to accept her kindness
"Let's go. I've already come out anyway, so I don't have time to send you back." Lin Chu said and walked forward.
Noticing that Cheng Ziming seemed to have left without paying the bill just now, a sneer appeared on his lips, and he walked to the counter to pay.
Dai Huimin quickly stepped forward to stop Lin Chu, "I've already troubled you today, how can I let you pay the bill? I'll do it."
Dai Huimin quickly took out her wallet, not just for show.
Lin Chu thought about it, and in order to make Dai Huimin feel comfortable and feel that the things were not expensive, he stopped insisting and asked Dai Huimin to pay.
She took Dai Huimin and Xu Jiaojiao into the car. As they were driving on the road, Xu Jiaojiao suddenly asked in a muffled voice: "You said you won't let me take shortcuts and have to rely on myself. But everything you have now, don't you still rely on Yan?" Beicheng?"
"Yes, but he is different. Our relationship started when I was seven years old, and we knew each other at that time." Lin Chu did not explain in detail, but continued, "Later, when we met again, I didn't recognize him. Him, but he recognized me. I don’t want to find a rich young man, let alone one with Yan Beicheng’s status. I know myself and know that I am not enough. I may not earn much from work, but I believe that with my I will get better and better with my hard work. I have always wanted to find an ordinary man and let us work together. Otherwise, I would not have been with Cheng Ziming who had nothing when I was in college. Just like when Cheng Ziming betrayed me , but I’m not that sad, I just believe that I can still live a good life.”
"I really rely on Beicheng now." Lin Chu glanced at Xu Jiaojiao, "He gave me everything, but that's because I believe he will love me forever. I have such luck, but you don't .So don’t think about such good things and just live your life honestly.”
Lin Chu knew that his situation was indeed not a good example, so he could only talk to Xu Jiaojiao about his mentality.
Xu Jiaojiao: "..."
Even if it was the truth, Lin Chu said it so shamelessly, it was like showing off!
Xu Jiaojiao was extremely depressed. Part of her heart felt that what Lin Chu said made sense, but at the same time she felt filled with panic.
Following Dai Huimin's directions, Lin Chu drove the car to the downstairs of their house.
Dai Huimin looked at the time and saw that it was already one o'clock, so she asked cautiously: "It's already this time and you haven't eaten yet. Why don't you go up and sit down while I quickly cook two dishes and let's eat together?"
Dai Huimin felt that Lin Chu might not agree, but she still tried to say it.
Lin Chu thought for a while and then asked, "Isn't it troublesome?"
"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome!" Dai Huimin said, "The two of us need to eat anyway, but our family is small and the dishes are simple, so don't dislike it."
"No." Lin Chu said, and took out the key, "The three of us probably don't have much to eat, so we can just cook something simple."
"Hey, okay, okay!" Dai Huimin nodded hurriedly and got out of the car with Xu Jiaojiao.
The Xu family lived on the third floor and there was no elevator. Fortunately, Lin Chu usually practiced Pilates and so on, and his physical strength was still good, so he didn't feel tired when he went up to the third floor. Otherwise, if she doesn't exercise regularly, has a car to ride when going out, and has elevators at work and home, she will really be too lazy to gain weight.
The Xu family is not big, and it is not easy for the Xu family to have a one-bedroom and one-living house. After all, this is in City B.
They had carved out a small room for Xu Jiaojiao in the hall, which was only big enough for a simple bed and a simple clothes hanger. An ordinary chest of drawers was placed next to the single bed, which was also used as a dressing table. There was a small mirror on it, which displayed the cosmetics Xu Jiaojiao used daily.
The remaining space in the living room was occupied by a narrow sofa that could seat three people. The TV cabinet looked to be older and the TV was quite small, probably around thirty inches.
Next to the sofa stood a folding table against the wall, presumably where the Xu family usually ate.
However, although the home is small and extremely crowded, it is clean and not messy, which shows that Dai Huimin usually takes good care of it.
I thought she was going to help out in a restaurant again. No matter how big or small it was, as long as it was in the catering industry, it was a tiring job that involved waking up early and staying up late. She could still keep the house so neat and tidy, so I knew she was also a hard-working person.
Dai Huimin was a little embarrassed and said sheepishly: "Lin Chu, please sit down quickly. The house is a little small."
"No, the house I shared with my friends was also very crowded." Lin Chu said with a smile.
She really doesn't think there's anything wrong with being small. Although it's small, it's warm.
If she could have parents and family, and grow up in such a warm and happy life, she would be happy even if it was a bit harder and the place was more crowded.
Dai Huimin smiled and felt a little sad. Thinking of Lin Chu's bad life in the past, she started to blame herself again.
But she immediately smiled again, not wanting to stay depressed all day long and pretending to be sorry for Lin Chu, which made people feel like she was just pretending.
"You sit down first, I'll fry two dishes soon!" Dai Huimin said to Xu Jiaojiao again, "Jiaojiao, put down the dining table."
After saying that, he hurried to the kitchen.
Xu Jiaojiao was still depressed and felt weak at work, so Lin Chu helped her put up the folding table standing by the wall.
Xu Jiaojiao looked around the environment, feeling a little embarrassed. After the dining table was put down, there was almost no place to walk.
"I think that as long as the family can sit and eat together, it doesn't matter where they are or what the environment is. As long as the family supports each other, they can overcome any difficulties, and there is no shame in it." Lin Chu said lightly. .
Xu Jiaojiao didn't know if she was embarrassed by Lin Chu, but she lowered her head and blushed, and said nothing for a while.
Dai Huimin came out to get the apron. She heard Lin Chu's words while holding the apron in her hand. My eyes were red and the pain was severe. I covered my mouth and rushed back to the kitchen. I closed the door and leaned against the refrigerator and cried suppressedly.
After a while, he sniffed, wiped his tears carelessly with his apron, then put on his apron and started peeling potatoes.
Xu Jiaojiao and Lin Chu sat there in an awkward atmosphere. Xu Jiaojiao's eyes were red, and after a long time she asked uncertainly: "Do you really think you can succeed with your own efforts?"
Lin Chu sucked his lips and said, "You are not stupid, otherwise you would not have been admitted to University B. I know the conditions of your family. I am afraid that you have studied on your own since you were a child. It is not easy for your family to support you in school, and there is no extra money. I’ll give you tutoring classes, interest classes, etc. I know that if children nowadays go to school, and if they can’t keep up a little bit, or their ranking drops, their parents will hire tutors to study separately. You didn’t, and you got into University B on your own ability. .”
When Xu Jiaojiao heard this, she puffed up her chest proudly, "Besides... I have also received many scholarships. It is not a full scholarship, but it can also alleviate a lot of tuition pressure."
Lin Chu smiled lightly and nodded, "Since you have the ability to get into University B on your own without relying on anyone, then you have the ability to do something on your own. You don't need to compare with those rich people on the list, but With your brain, you can work step by step and become a small boss, right? Don’t rely on a man, rely on yourself, move out and get a big house. Make your parents happy when they go out He said that he bought it for his daughter. Our daughter is very capable. She has the ability, the conditions, can make money, looks good, and can attract men with the same conditions to like you. But she will not think that you are trying to get them. You two are equal, so you won't feel any shorter than him."
"Is this how you feel now?" Xu Jiaojiao asked boldly.
Lin Chu raised his eyebrows and said, "I know you envy me. There is a girl who has been in the same orphanage as me since she was a child. She also thinks the same as you. She thinks that since I am lucky enough to find someone like Yan Beicheng, then she You can find someone who is no worse than me. Now she is with Lu Weining's brother, without any name or status. The man has never even admitted that she is his girlfriend. Indeed, no one can guarantee that in love these days, it will be true. She can get married to her current lover, but at least she needs to be a girlfriend, right? Just because she wants to compare with me, just like you, she doesn’t even want the most basic respect."
Xu Jiaojiao pursed her lips and lowered her head in shame.
"Not everyone can be like Beicheng, who is serious about falling in love and dating on the premise of marriage. He doesn't care about my identity and background. He only likes me as a person and does not feel that he can be bullied and played around because of my identity. But you have to know that, like Lu Zhenghang, Cheng Ziming raises the majority of men. Even I don’t believe that without Yan Beicheng, there could be anyone as good as him. The same good man, but not him , you won’t fall in love with me, right?"
Xu Jiaojiao paused and nodded, as if she had listened to Lin Chu's words.
"Beicheng is good to me, so I feel more and more that I can't be useless, I can't know nothing, I can't take all the burdens to him as a matter of course, and just be a vassal. Even I have to find a way to work hard, even if I can never reach the level of Beicheng in my life, but at least I can't let him always be said to have found a good-for-nothing wife because of me."
"Xu Jiaojiao, a man who is much better and more outstanding than you, while you enjoy all this, he is also under pressure, do you understand? So I advise you to improve yourself and find someone who can be worthy of you. A man. When the time comes when you don’t do it for money and really like a man, even if that man is not as good as you, you will be proud and not worry about your future life. Even if it is you who raises him, as long as you love him, you will be happy. If you meet an excellent man and you love him, you won’t feel like you’re not worthy.”
"I didn't have the chance to make myself good before meeting Yan Beicheng, but I never regret meeting Yan Beicheng first. As long as I work hard, it's still not too late," Lin Chu said.
Xu Jiaojiao threw off her slippers, curled up her legs, stepped on the sofa with her feet, and grabbed her trouser legs with both hands, "No one has ever told me this before..."
Lin Chu was slightly startled. Xu Jiaojiao didn't know whether she was embarrassed to raise her head or something, but kept her head down. "My parents are busy with work and want to have a better life at home. They are tired from morning to night and have no time to talk to me." These. Before you, I was the only daughter in the family. Even if my thoughts and actions were biased, my parents didn't know, and no one reminded me. I never expressed my thoughts in front of them. They always thought that I was well-behaved and sensible. . When I went to college, I met classmates from all over the world. Some of them were as poor as me, some were poorer than me, but there were also some who were extremely rich. I saw the rich second generation looking for girlfriends in school, regardless of poverty. Wealth only depends on appearance, and it changes every few days. When I saw them spending money like water, I thought, I don't want to find such an irresponsible man."
"Moreover, they are still just little kids, spending all their parents' money, so what ability do they have to show off? Then, I saw a lot of girls from poor families who suddenly dressed well and went to high-end shopping malls all day long. , restaurants, using brand-name cosmetics, and even carrying bags worth tens of thousands of dollars. I know how they got it, and I look down on them. I think they are only after temporary money, and they don’t feel disgusted with those pot-bellied men. . But after seeing more of them, although I don’t want to be like them, I don’t want to continue to be poor, and I don’t want to be a plaything. If I want to, I have to find a rich man to marry.”
"But I don't have many good classmates in school, and how can I talk to people about this idea? No one told me how fanciful my idea is. In my life, I have seen with my own eyes that marriage is special. Okay, it’s just you. I naively think that if my conditions are no worse than yours, then I will definitely be able to find someone. No one has ever told me how difficult this is, and no one has told me how difficult it is. It's not easy, and no one told me how much those men look down on me. I just want to play, never sincerely."
Lin Chu sighed, "Then you know now."
Xu Jiaojiao nodded, "I... I still want to marry well, and I don't want to just find a mediocre person and spend my whole life like this. But I will use my brain to think about it, and I will not go to high branches to find that kind of person." I will never marry the person I used to be in my life. I will do my duty and improve myself first. As you said, I will have the conditions for selection so that people cannot fool me or look down on me. Then I will do my best, Marry the best. I don’t expect a wealthy family, but I definitely don’t want a life of hard work and calculation.”
Lin Chu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with Xu Jiaojiao's idea, "Yes, we all want to marry well, so we should keep our eyes open, don't take evil ways, and seriously find a good single man. Don't To do things that destroy other people's families, a man who can be seduced by young girls outside his wife's back is not much better."
