Chapter 710 Putting Herself In Tina’s Position

"Please don't say that. It puts me under a lot of pressure," Jean waved off Juan's words as soon as she heard them and replied. "What's more, I have absolutely no idea what kind of person Tina is, and so I have no idea how or how not to treat her. With that in mind, how can you be so sure that I can help you?"

"Jean, you want me to be happy right? Well, here's the deal. No matter what the problem is, if you help me, everything's going to be alright."

Juan was confident in her abilities.

Jean took a deep breath and asked with a strange glance at him, "What if I fail in persuading Tina? What if she ends up being even more determined to marry you once I am done talking to her?"

Juan was stunned for a few seconds on hearing the idea but he laughed it off in a second. "Jean, that's not gonna happen. Don't scare me..."

"Scare you? How? Why would I scare you?"

Jean pounced on his choice of verb.

'Why would she scare me?'

Juan had never expected that Jean would say something along these lines while chatting with him.

He was confused for a while and then looked at her with shock. "Wait a minute. Are you trying to tell me that you don't want to help me?"

"I didn't say that!" Jean shook off the idea innocently. "I just want to tell you that sometimes, women are very strange and hard to understand. The harder it is to find and get something, and the harder someone persuades them to give something or someone up, the harder they will try to land that thing or person for themselves. Juan, you are so smart. I hope you understand what I mean, don't you?"

Jean stared at him expectantly.

Juan opened his mouth and wanted to say something but he just swallowed some saliva and merely nodded in agreement, even though his eyes reflected otherwise.

'I certainly understand what she means. But why is she saying that before she has even tried anything? Is it because she has found something out about my intention?

Was it Zed who told her?

No! Not possible!

Zed knows that I don't like Tina, and he has always advised me that I should think carefully about my happiness and deal with this matter as soon as possible especially since I dislike her.

All of my best friends tried to help me get rid of her in the past, and tried to stop my engagement from ever happening.

Although they failed, I st

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.

Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...

ng to go this way, then I wouldn't have done what Juan expected, which was what made Jean so upset in the first place.

Fortunately, she handled it really well, ' thought Zed.

Seeing Zed so guilty, Jean couldn't help letting out a sigh.

'I can't blame this on Zed since he was unaware of it.

Juan is the one to be blamed. It was Juan who forced him to do what he did.'

Jean got angry on Juan now.

"Well, I know it's not your fault." She let out another sigh and continued, "I just can't accept the fact that Joy has left now. I originally wanted to find someone to take care of her, but my father stopped me…"

"It's okay. Your father knows Joy best and I think you should listen to him," Zed advised her.

"Okay." "Zed, I think it's not easy for people to live in this world and be happy."

"It is not an easy thing." Zed nodded in agreement. "We can't decide when and where we get born. We can't decide when we leave… Everything is unknown. We don't know what we have to face even though we have to live in this very world for decades - a world which we cannot control."

Zed sighed.

"Yes. It's not an easy thing. But some people don't know how happy they are and want to get rid of their present life…" Something had suddenly dawned on Jean.

"You are talking about Juan, right?" Zed asked.

"Yes. Tina is coming to China. I really don't know what will happen to them," Jean looked at Zed and frankly expressed her thoughts. "Juan wants me to help him. But I don't know why, at this moment, I sympathize with Tina a little more."
