Chapter 72 The Truth
Chapter 72 The Truth
Those who are about to be released from prison are actually the most tormented.
Just like Zhong Xiaoqin's current situation. She's come up with many solutions in her mind, but whether they'll work is still unknown. Ultimately, this matter will probably depend on Wang Wenwen! In terms of methods and decision-making, Wang Wenwen is much better than Zhong Xiaoqin.
Zhong Xiaoqin went to Wang Wenwen's office and secretly discussed with her how to get Chen Yu to accept the relationship without causing other problems. Although Wang Wenwen wasn't as cold as Zhong Xiaoqin, she also didn't want it to happen so frequently. Reducing the frequency to one-third of the original amount was her ideal solution.
Wang Wenwen asked, "You took Manni for a checkup, right?"
“Everything has been checked, and there are no problems! It’s just that during the checkup, Wang Manni seemed a little humiliated, and I could sense that she was feeling uncomfortable.” Zhong Xiaoqin was quite surprised.
"That's only natural. Isn't it said online? You have to finish the path you chose, even if you have to crawl on your knees." Wang Wenwen didn't have a very good feeling about Wang Manni. Only someone like Zhong Xiaoqin, who is naturally lacking in friends, would have such a good relationship with her.
"I understand. I have a plan, but you'll need to carry it out. Come closer, I'll tell you..."
…………
Chen Yu went to Jiangxi Province to preside over the installation and launch ceremony of a super-large crane. The equipment was designed by his team and has a load capacity of 800 tons. The equipment was successfully started, and no problems were found when testing the load capacity. The data obtained by the stress tester were all within the reasonable range. The launch ceremony was considered a complete success! In the evening, Chen Yu did not participate in the celebration party. He left the external liaison work to his deputy and apprentice, Xiao Zhang, and took a direct flight to Shanghai to return home.
By the time Chen Yu arrived home, it was already 11:30 p.m. Everyone in the house was asleep, even the nanny had gone to bed.
Chen Yu quietly went to the bathroom to wash up, and then sneaked into his gym under the dim light.
After the strange river crab ate 405 words, Chen Yu sat down on the small sofa next to him.
He said in a heavy voice, "You have disappointed me so much! How could you do such a thing?!"
Zhong Xiaoqin retorted, "What's wrong with everyone exercising together? You also put a lot of effort into your run, don't you?"
Chen Yu automatically ignored the second half of the sentence, "I don't object to anyone else, but Manni is our friend, how can we treat her like this?"
Wang Manni was working out at the gym and was almost exhausted. She had just regained the strength to speak. "Professor Chen, I worked out voluntarily! You can't blame Xiaoqin and Wenwen!"
"Manni, to be honest, I don't think we're a good match!" Chen Yu didn't look Wang Manni in the eye. They had just been exercising together, and now he was about to say something hurtful. Chen Yu was still a little guilty.
"Why isn't it suitable? I think it's perfectly suitable! I've already talked to Xiaoqin and Wenwen; I don't need anything, not even the exercise with the kids. Even so, is it still not suitable?" Wang Manni was a little agitated. If they couldn't reach an agreement, all that exercise would have been for nothing! Wang Manni hadn't expected exercising to be so tiring. She used to think Zhong Xiaoqin was just being dramatic and delicate, but she never imagined she could fight like that! In the end, she was the clown herself! Of course, being tired was a minor issue; the main problem was that the reward for her efforts wasn't what she had imagined!
“Manni, you probably didn’t just want this, did you? You were forced to compromise because of the medical expenses, right? Once you no longer lack medical expenses, are you sure you won’t have other ideas?” Chen Yu pointed out Wang Manni’s problem incisively. “When you broke up with Jiang Chen, you should have imagined what the future would be like, right? In your plans, what kind of life or status did you want?”
Wang Manni didn't dare to say a word. Chen Yu mentioned Jiang Chen, a person Wang Manni rarely spoke of. How did Chen Yu know about him?
Chen Yu seemed to read Wang Manni's eyes. "I know Jiang Chen. I often go to his coffee shop and I'm friends with him. He's a pretty good guy, easy-going, handsome, and very charming. Did you ever regret breaking up with him?"
"I don't regret it. Jiang Chen is a good person, but we're really not right for each other..."
“I believe that. Jiang Chen can only be considered well-off, not wealthy…” Chen Yu was interrupted by Wang Manni before he could finish speaking, “Professor Chen, I’m not only willing to do this for the money, I like you more as a person!”
Chen Yu asked another question, "Manni, do you love your parents?"
“How could I not love my parents? I can make any sacrifice for them!” Wang Manni said matter-of-factly.
"So, have you ever thought that they will grow old one day, and get sick one day? You work very hard in Shanghai, but how much money do you have left each month? Although you send 2,000 yuan home every month for living expenses, what about the rest? Why do you spend all of your more than 10,000 yuan monthly salary? Luxury goods, cosmetics, travel, are these more important than your parents? You just spend it all like this, without leaving your parents any way out?"
Wang Manni murmured, "I just didn't expect..."
Chen Yu interrupted Wang Manni, "You knew about your father's high blood pressure beforehand, right? This isn't the first time he's had an attack, is it? Have you ever thought about living in a small town so you could help the two elderly people up close, see if they have any bad habits, or take care of them if they get sick?"
“I wanted to bring them to Shanghai, but…” Wang Manni couldn’t finish her sentence.
"But you don't have any money, right? You can't even support yourself in Shanghai, how are you going to bring them here? You're just making a little bit of money on sales commissions every month, haven't you ever thought about planning for the future? What future are you talking about?"
"Professor Chen, what exactly are you trying to say?" Wang Manni couldn't listen anymore!
"What I'm trying to say is that you're a bit out of touch with reality, or to put it bluntly, you don't know your own worth! Jiang Chen has talked to me about your relationship with him. Back then, your relationship was pretty good, and you even had plans for the future. But you changed later. You wanted to live the life of a rich person, at least to be able to afford Misia! Even now, you're still living a bourgeois life, insisting on enjoying yourself even when you don't have the money. That's the first problem: you can't see reality."
And then there's your parents' situation. How many times a year can you go home? Your home isn't that far away, but it's just inconvenient for you in Shanghai! You spend your vacations doing other things, like shopping and traveling. Can't you postpone your parents' situation? That's the second problem: you can't see yourself clearly.
My last question is, although I don't know why you didn't go to Liang Zhengxian but instead asked Gu Jia for information about him, you must have valued him quite a bit, right? You only met Liang Zhengxian for a few days on the ship, and he just gave you a room key and let you go, yet you were still very interested. You broke up with Jiang Chen after several years, and do you think anyone would believe you that it wasn't for the money? My third question is, you can't see the true nature of relationships.
So I said, although you saved my life and are my savior, I still don't want to get too involved in any emotional matters with you!" Chen Yu revealed his true intentions.
