Chapter 67: Human Nature
Su Yue looked at Cui Yu incredulously, she didn't expect Cui Yu to say such a thing at all.
It's as if the love between the two of them is just an accessory. He can sacrifice for his own selfish interests at any time.
Cui Yu once swore again and again that he loved himself so much that he was unwilling to let go for a moment. It turns out that all this love is only built on the condition that it will not interfere with his personal interests.
In Cui Yu's life ordering, he may never have been put first by him.
"Is this still the love I've been looking forward to?" Su Yue couldn't help but ask herself in her heart.
"Su Yue, it's a big night, let's stop arguing about this little thing, okay?"
Cui Yu suddenly gently took Su Yue's hand, and then said to her in a gentle tone.
"Cui Yu, this is not a trivial matter."
Su Yue reflexively pulled out the hand that was held by Cui Yu at once. Then she looked at Cui Yu seriously and continued:
"I ask you, what if you had to choose the same between your job and mine? What would you choose? ”
"Su Yue... It's already so late, so you don't want to be vexatious, okay? Cui Yu's tone suddenly became a little impatient.
"Do you think I'm making a fuss?"
Su Yue sat down on the sofa and took a deep breath to calm her emotions.
Then she looked at Cui Yu again, and showed a scrutinizing gaze, and said to him calmly:
"Cui Yu, if you really have confidence in yourself and the relationship between us, why should you care about Luo Xiaoyu's opinion? And I don't think Luo Xiaoyu is a selfish person, you should know him better than me, right? ”
"Hmm..."
Seeing Su Yue patiently communicating with herself, Cui Yu seemed to calm down a little.
I saw him walk over and sit beside Su Yue, and then said to her seriously:
"I know Xiaoyu is very kind, but he really likes you too much... Su Yue, I can't be unguarded. I have to have a good relationship with Luo Xiaoyu, and I can't lose his father's trust in me. ”
Cui Yu's expression looked a little helpless, he seemed to want to say something, but it was difficult to speak.
"Why? Cui Yu, let's take 10,000 steps back and say. Even if you lose this job because of this, I believe that with your own ability, you will be able to do something else. Why do you have to rely on Luo Xiaoyu's father? Su Yue still patiently tried to persuade Cui Yu.
She knew that arguing wouldn't solve anything at all. Only when two people communicate calmly and effectively can they find the essence of the problem and solve all problems.
"Su Yue, actually... My parents' work over the years has been stabilized by relying on the help of Luo Xiaoyu's father. As you know, his father is well-connected in our local area, so he may need help with family matters, big or small, at any time.
And he also promised my mother this year, saying that he would bear all the expenses for me to study abroad in the future. So now, I can't offend their father and son..."
After Cui Yu finished saying his true thoughts in one breath, he seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief and leaned lazily on the back of the sofa.
But looking at Su Yue beside him, he didn't make any response to his words, and he continued to add:
"So Su Yue... I hope you understand my struggle. I can't afford to let down the opportunity my mother won for me, right? ”
After listening to Cui Yu's words, Su Yue was stunned for a while, and then suddenly realized.
In fact, I found from the beginning that Cui Yu's attitude towards Luo Xiaoyu always retained a respect. No wonder he never refused any request made by Luo Xiaoyu, it was for this reason.
It turned out that Cui Yu's parents, including himself, had relied on Luo Xiaoyu's father for a long time to live.
And as the price of getting help, their family must have to look at Luo Xiaoyu's father's eyes all the time.
In order to reap more benefits, their family not only has to obey the Locke father and son, but sometimes even needs to pat them and curry favor with them everywhere.
So in Cui Yu's heart, it is absolutely impossible for him to give up their family's painstaking management for so many years for the sake of love.
Just through constant flattery, coupled with the relationship between them and their relatives, there is no need to put in any effort at all, and they can reap the benefits for nothing.
Presumably, for this kind of pie in the sky, their family will never give up easily.
Thinking of this, Su Yue had no other thoughts than a wry smile.
Although at this moment, Su Yueda despised this opportunistic approach from the bottom of his heart. But this is the lifestyle that Cui Yu and his family have chosen by themselves, and Su Yue knows that she does not have any right to interfere.
It's just that I didn't notice it earlier, and Cui Yu actually had such a concept in his thoughts.
I thought that although he had begun to crawl in society, he was not contaminated with the vulgarity of society, or assimilated by all kinds of corrupt rules.
But judging from the current situation, the social convention of "taking shortcuts" has obviously been deeply ingrained in Cui Yu's thoughts.
And this is also the only law that he now fully recognizes in his heart.
"Cui Yu, I think there is a big difference between the two of us in terms of three views."
Su Yue felt extremely disappointed, but she still endured the deep sense of loss in her heart, and said to Cui Yu in a seemingly calm tone:
"I see... Let's be apart for a while. I want to calm down and think about whether we can both go on the same page. ”
"What?"
Cui Yu didn't seem to react for a while, he didn't know whether he was saying something wrong or doing something wrong, which made Su Yue put forward the idea of calming down for a while.
He also didn't understand what was wrong with his three views. But looking at Su Yue's extremely lost expression, he couldn't help but ask:
"Su Yue, is it possible... Are you trying to break up with me? ”
"I don't know... I can't make a decision right now. But I need some time... Think it through calmly. Su Yue still said this seemingly calmly.
"I don't want this!"
Cui Yu suddenly hugged Su Yue tightly, and then whispered in her ear:
"Don't leave me, Su Yue. Am I doing something wrong? We've both been together for so long, why suddenly separate? I love you so much and I don't want to be separated. ”
"Cui Yu, do you really love me?"
Su Yue let Cui Yu hold herself like this, she felt that her heart was exhausted at this moment and she was powerless to struggle. I saw her look at Cui Yu expressionlessly and asked:
"If you really love me, why is there no shadow of me at all in your future plans? You decided to go abroad to further your studies, what about me? Have you thought about it for me? ”
"I..." Cui Yu was speechless for a while.
"In your heart, I'm just an appendage, but you don't love me. I have long realized that the only thing you love for me is possessiveness. So let's give each other some time to think it through. If we continue like this, we will have no way out. ”
After speaking, Su Yue broke free from Cui Yu's embrace, stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
"Su Yue... Don't be like this, I don't want to break up with you, give me another chance, okay? ”
Cui Yu sat helplessly on the sofa and pleaded in an almost hysterical tone.
"Cui Yu, I'll trouble you to move out of here tomorrow. I don't want to repeat it anymore, I'm tired, give me some time. ”
After dropping this sentence, Su Yue walked into the bathroom without looking back, and then locked the door with a "click".
After simply removing her makeup, Su Yue turned on the faucet in the shower.
In a few moments, the hot water spilled from the showerhead. Exhausted, she took off her clothes and went into the shower.
Steaming droplets of water kept spilling on her hair, face, body... But Su Yue felt that her heart was extremely cold at the moment.
She closed her eyes quietly, trying to relax her tired body. But her heart couldn't stop trembling slightly.
"Is this true human nature? Can't stand the slightest temptation. ”
