Chapter 53.2 “Can’t you be more civilized as a woman?”

Like Xue Wen’s family, Xie Miao’s family also had no money and lived in a dilapidated old town, except that Xie Miao was the family’s only son, while Xue Wen was not. She has a younger brother who was ten years younger. The family regarded this son with great favors who had been born and raised as a treasure, and they couldn’t wait to hold on to him in everything.

While Xue Wen’s parents were not very capable themselves, but Xue Wen was a good student, excelling in school, understanding and well-behaved, even subsidising her family with scholarships, and finding a job with good income and social status after graduation.

The family then also simply gave Xue Wen the task of supporting the family and raising her brother, so much so that Xue Wen worked for several years and actually didn’t have much savings of her own. The money was given to her brother as living expenses, and his brother went to an art college, which cost a lot.

Even so, the family pressed Xue Wen to contribute to the purchase of a house for her brother.

Bai Duanduan was a moonlighter who spends money whenever she has it, and Duan Yun was also very concerned about her personal material life. Among her three friends, Xue Wen was the only one who was so diligent and frugal with herself that it hurts. Because she has not been loved at home for so long, Xue Wen has become a bit of a people pleaser, afraid to bother others, afraid to upset others, afraid that others would not like her. In the past, when she was with Duan Yun and Bai DuanDuan, she would always subconsciously look at their faces in case they were unhappy, always thinking that it was her task to liven up the atmosphere and make everyone happy. It took Duan Yun and Bai Duanduan a long time to correct her later.

Her first love was even more tragic. When she and Xie Miao were in love and knew each other well, they were torn apart by her own parents’ pressure.

The reason for the breakup was very realistic – Xie Miao’s family was too poor, as poor as Xue Wen’s family.

Xue Wen was not only a good student, but also a gentle-looking one. Her parents had the idea that they would let their daughter marry a rich man, so that she could help her family and, most importantly, her brother. Nowadays, what do you need in society but money and connections? Xie Miao’s family was too poor to help her, and she may even become a burden in the future.

As a result of this, Xue Wen’s parents made a lot of fuss, and they even tried to pressure her with emotion, bullying and pressure, almost to the point of crying and hanging themselves. Xue Wen, herself who was of a pleasing personality, so she could not face this kind of conflict, and choose to be filial, and was finally forced to take the initiative to break up with Xie Miao.

Not long after, Xie Miao’s family moved out of the neighborhood and the two never saw each other again.

But although Xue Wen kept quiet about it, she accidentally confided in Bai Duanduan once after drinking, and she has always regretted and suffered from this incident. Now relying on her own efforts, Xue Wen’s family conditions have also improved, and she is still able to support her younger brother with ease, but the feelings and youth she lost will never return. She still likes Xie Miao and has never forgotten him, so after breaking up with him, no matter how much her family introduced her to new people, even though there was no shortage of well-qualified guys, Xue Wen never moved on.

Bai Duanduan looked at Xue Wen, who was silent, “You said to me yourself last time that if you could meet Xie Miao again in this life, you must explain to him clearly, you must try once, no matter how hard it is, or do you not want to have a future with him anymore?”

Xue Wen’s lips stuttered, “I ……”

“You see, fate is so wonderful, you really met him by accident today, although he did not see you, you clearly saw him, you can not deny it, right?”

“But Duanduan ……” Xue Wen really wimped out when the matter came to a head, “Xie Miao seems to be doing very well now. I see that all the suits he’s wearing are very expensive brands, and the shoes don’t look cheap either ……”

“Isn’t it okay to live a good life? It’s only when he is well off that he can give you a better life.”

“No, no, that’s not what I mean.” Xue Wen bit her lip, “I feel that he is doing well now, and it may not be appropriate for me to bother him again. First, he may have walked out a long time ago, and he doesn’t even have much impression of me; second, no matter how, I broke up with him in the first place because his family conditions were poor and, now he is in good condition, and now if I approach him again, this is simply …… not sure what he will think …… and a man like him may not be single. “

Bai Duanduan was a little helpless, “He seems to be Ji Lin’s client, wait for me to take the lead to inquire about the situation. But we can make a deal, if he still remembers you and is single, I can create another opportunity for you to reconnect, after that you have to promise me that you will go for your happiness for once at least.”

Xue Wen was still hesitant but, in the end, nodded as if she had made some kind of decision.

———————-

After sending Xue Wen away, Bai Duanduan fulfilled her mission and went upstairs and knocked on the door to enter Ji Lin’s office.

“Is that handsome guy just now your client?”

Ji Lin frowned, “Is there something wrong?”

“Are you from the same school? Are you classmates?”

“Seniors from different departments.” Ji Lin looked unhappy “What does this have to do with you?”

“Are you familiar with him?”

Ji Lin stopped his work and looked at Bai Duanduan, “What exactly do you want to ask?”

Since Ji Lin asked this question, Bai Duanduan also opened up, “I just want to ask, first, is he single? Does he have a girlfriend? Secondly, where does he work? He seems to be a social elite, right? Thirdly, can you introduce him to me and give me his contact information?” Bai Duanduan assured him, “Don’t worry, I’m not trying to steal your case, I just want to get to know him in private.”

“……”

Ji Lin just laughed angrily, don’t worry? How can he be rest assured? Such a naked question, was she trying to get himself to pimp the two of them out and hook them up, and then once his senior doesn’t have a girlfriend, Bai Duanduan was ready to put herself forward for the job? On top of that, while being on the verge of getting back together with her ex-boyfriend, she’s looking at a new man out of novelty?

For no reason, Ji Lin thought of Bai Duanduan’s blatant declaration before. What did the woman say at first? Saying she didn’t like things that were not new and challenging, and that if her boyfriend was not new, she could change immediately, after all, there were still 30 million leftover men in China …… this woman…..

Ji Lin glared at Bai Duanduan, and for the first time in his life, he was actually a little upset for Lin Hui, “What about Lin Hui? What are you going to do about Lin Hui?”

Lin Hui? What the hell does this have to do with Lin Hui?

Bai Duanduan didn’t understand, she stared at Ji Lin suspiciously for a long time before she finally realized that she didn’t steal Ji Lin’s clients in private, but he was afraid that she might accidentally reveal the client’s situation to Lin Hui and be robbed by Lin Hui! After all, the relationship between himself and Lin Hui was indeed very shallow. The case that Ji Lin was willing to take on was definitely a huge one! This is the type of client that needs to have its personal information protected. If the information of such an important client was given to her, it would be bad enough for Ji Lin to reveal it inadvertently.

Bai Duanduan immediately patted her chest and promised, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell Lin Hui.”

It’s a pity that after these words, she doesn’t know why, but Ji Lin’s face became even more ugly, as if he was angry enough and he didn’t even want to talk to Bai Duanduan, so he waved his hand and drove her out.

…..

Bai Duanduan was simply inexplicable, what kind of unpredictable man was he!
