Chapter 25: Goodbye Tan Lin (2)
"Actually, there's nothing you can't say."
"I think you have something unspeakable."
Yao Jingjing shook her head and said with a wry smile: "It's not unspeakable, it's just a little ashamed." β
"Shame? How did such a word come up? What really happened to you? Yao Jingjing's embarrassed expression made Tan Lin even more curious.
Yao Jingjing sighed: "You asked me why I didn't return to China, but in fact, I came to Russia after returning to China." β
"Oh, or is it because of tourism?"
"No, this time it's not because of tourism, it's about getting married."
Tan Lin's eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed: "Marriage? Who are you married? Could it be that you are married to a Russian? β
"Yes, the last time I traveled to Russia, I met a Russian, and then I returned to China, and he followed him to China and proposed to me, and I agreed."
"Oh, I see! This is normal, there are many Chinese women around me who marry in Russia, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. "Tan Lin still thinks that what's the matter, isn't it just a marriage between China and Russia, it's a normal thing, why does the word 'shame' come up!
Yao Jingjing shook her head and said unnaturally: "I am married to a 65-year-old Russian man, who is 35 years older than me. β
"Ahem, ahem, ahemγγγγγγ" Tan Lin, who was drinking, suddenly heard Yao Jingjing's words, and was almost choked in surprise and coughed incessantly.
Knowing that Tan Lin was frightened by herself, Yao Jingjing was slightly embarrassed.
Coughing for a while, Tan Lin cleared his throat and asked, "Is he very rich?" β
Yao Jingjing nodded and said, "He is very rich, and he gave my family a sum of money, which can make my parents live more comfortably in the second half of their lives, so I agreed." β
Tan Lin knew this, and secretly sighed distressedly, without any disdain in his eyes, and comforted: "I understand you, although I don't know what the situation is in your family, but I can see that you are also through ideological struggles." No young man would want to marry an old man, they were all forced to be helpless. There's nothing to be ashamed of here. β
Yao Jingjing was a little surprised, she didn't expect Tan Lin to say this, and suddenly a trace of warmth welled up in her heart, she smiled gratefully at Tan Lin, and said, "Brother Tan, thank you, thank you for understanding me." β
"It's nothing, the adult world is not easy, of course I understand you. If I were a woman, I would be like you, find a rich man to marry, and save me so much labor. Look at that Wendi Deng, isn't she that! You don't have to care what others say, the other person is not you, he doesn't understand your situation. β
The warmth in Yao Jingjing's heart is even stronger, how lucky she is to hear these reassuring words in a foreign country!
"By the way, is that old man good to you?"
"It's not bad, it's not stingy anyway."
"It can be seen that he is quite willing to spend money, and you have to be a lot more expensive with this famous brand." Tan Lin looked at Yao Jingjing and sighed.
"Actually, he didn't pay me money because he liked me." Facing Tan Lin, Yao Jingjing seemed to have found a confidant, so she spoke her heart.
"It's not because I like you, but because what?" Tan Lin took a bite of mutton and asked.
Yao Jingjing pursed her lips and said, "Because I look like his deceased wife, he married me back to use me as a stand-in for his deceased wife." β
Tan Lin was stunned and surprised again.
"Stand-in, too, you look a bit like a foreigner." Tan Lin noticed that Yao Jingjing's eyes were sunken and the bridge of her nose was high, but she did have a bit of a Westerner's appearance.
"So what's your mood? Saddened to be used as a stand-in? β
Yao Jingjing thought for a moment and shook her head: "I can't talk about sadness, I don't have any feelings for him, and I got married after seeing him a few times." I'm just, a little disappointed. β
Tan Lin nodded in understanding and said, "I can understand your feelings." However, it is also good to be used as a stand-in. You can enjoy his money and favor without having to be genuinely emotional. β
Eh, Yao Jingjing was stunned, thinking carefully about Tan Lin's words, feeling quite reasonable, and nodded approvingly.
"Sister, just remember, don't be emotional about him."
"You're right, you can't be emotional."
"Here, cheers." Tan Lin picked up the beer glass, Yao Jingjing also smiled and picked up the wine glass, the two of them clinked glasses and drank them all, so happy!
When Yao Jingjing and Tan Lin said goodbye, they left each other's WeChat, and made an appointment to eat hot pot together in the future.
On the way back to the manor, Natasha saw that Yao Jingjing was in a good mood and had a smile on her face, so she asked curiously, "Madam, who is the man you are eating with?" β
"Well, it's a fellow countryman, I have a relationship with him, when I came to Russia for a trip before, he sat next to me on the plane, and we chatted all the way."
"Oh, he's doing business in Moscow?"
"Yes, he should have a shop in Lyublino, and I didn't expect to meet him today, what a coincidence! This world is so small! β
Natasha nodded in agreement, a gleam flashing in her eyes.
