Chapter 245: What a Gentleman Does
Hearing Gu Yunqiao's comfort, Cheng Yan felt a little more relaxed, but he was still a little entangled: "But ...... Miss Gu saw me on that side, didn't she mind? ”
Gu Yunqiao didn't react: "Which side is that?" ”
"Cold, hypocritical, selfish and ruthless, indifferent to the life and death of others, not at all above board."
Cheng Yan looked at Gu Yunqiao steadily, the bad factor in his temperament came out, on the one hand, he wanted to scare her away, and on the other hand, he expected her to accept such a self: "Outsiders say that I am gentle and elegant, and I have a good personality, but in fact, it is all an illusion, it is all pretended by me, and my real appearance is far from that." ”
He was born in a swamp, climbed up with filth, and many of his methods in his youth were not visible. Even if he was as close as Gu Yunji, at the amusement fair a few years ago, he also wanted to calculate that he and Xu Shuhua were happy, but this matter once left a pimple in Gu Yunji's heart, and the two of them will avoid mentioning this matter so far.
He has read the books of sages for many years, but benevolence, righteousness and morality are not in his ears, no matter how much he pretends to be, he knows that he is not a gentleman at all.
Gu Yunqiao looked at him with bright eyes, and suddenly smiled: "If Cheng Gongzi is called indifferent and selfish, I have nothing to do with He Huishu, but I 'hurt her', wouldn't I have become a complete villain?" ”
Cheng Yan was so confused by her laughter that he was stunned: "I am selfish and hypocritical by nature, but I pretend to be a gentleman and gentle in front of everyone, does Miss Gu think it's okay?" ”
"What's this? In life, who doesn't have a time to pretend? Gu Yunqiao didn't care, "Cheng Gongzi is pretending to be a gentleman in front of others, and I am still pretending to be a lady in front of others, do you also think I'm hypocritical?" ”
Cheng Yan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly explained: "I definitely didn't mean this, Miss Gu has a frank personality, how can she be involved with the word hypocrisy?" ”
"Isn't that right?" Gu Yunqiao's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she smiled brightly, "I pretend to be a lady and be honest, and Cheng Gongzi pretending to be a gentleman naturally can't be called hypocrisy." If Cheng Gongzi is not confident, then may I ask you, this so-called indifference and selfishness, will it be used on me and my brother? ”
Cheng Yan did not hesitate: "Of course not." I regard Yun Ji as my best friend in life, and Miss Gu is ...... It's Yunji's sister, no matter how humble and dirty I am, I won't use it on you. ”
Gu Yunqiao sighed silently and said, "A gentleman doesn't care about his deeds, and there is no one in the world who is perfect in his heart. You and I are not saints, why should we have such high requirements for ourselves? As long as you don't take the initiative to hurt others, what's the point of being 'hypocritical'? Cheng Gongzi, you are too arrogant. ”
Gu Yunji sees it well, a person like Cheng Yan who came out of the dust has extreme self-esteem and inferiority at the same time. If you want to climb up, you have to endure what ordinary people can't bear, and you can't bear it, and over time, you will get used to disguising yourself, hiding your nature very deeply, and showing people with a false face.
But if a person pretends to be for a long time, he will involuntarily be affected by the mask and subtly change in that direction. I'm afraid Cheng Yan himself didn't realize that those so-called false gentleness and elegance had long become part of his nature.
Or there is another possibility, Cheng Yan was originally a good person, but because he was humiliated and ridiculed too much, he had to give birth to an indifferent shell to protect himself, otherwise he would not have a strong heart to get to this day.
Gu Yunqiao saw this, and did not make too much vain analysis with him, but gently and skillfully lightened the burden in his heart, and said with a smile: "If people like Cheng Gongzi think that they are not good at being called gentlemen, then others should be ashamed to throw themselves into the river." ”
Cheng Yan's heart was light when he heard this, and the burden of Wan Jun was quietly resolved, and he smiled dumbly: "I didn't expect Miss Gu to be so free and light, but I thought too much and too much, I thought that Miss Gu would be disgusted with me because of this, and she would be alienated from me from then on." ”
"During the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, Cheng Gongzi found that I pretended to be a lady and didn't alienate me, why should I alienate you?" Gu Yunqiao winked at him playfully, and quipped, "Okay now, you're a 'hypocrite', I'm a 'fake girl', let's not talk about anyone." ”
Cheng Yan was stunned, then shook his head and smiled.
As Cheng Yan expected, He Chutai didn't wait for He Huishu's news for a long time, so he took people to the back garden with the intention of breaking the "private relationship", but in the back garden, except for his sister who was lying on the ground and had a big bag on the back of his head, he didn't even see Cheng Yan's shadow.
He Huishu was not seriously injured, and after waking up, she told He Chutai everything that happened, as for who beat her, and where Cheng Yan went after fainting, she didn't know anything.
He Chutai was so angry that he threw the cup on the spot, but he was helpless, on the one hand, they were at a loss and didn't dare to make a big deal about it; On the other hand, they don't know who beat He Huishu, maybe the other party happens to be the person from the king of Pingyang County, this move is to give them a warning, if they stop the matter and calm the people, otherwise, once the other party comes out to testify, then they He Jia Ke will be trampled to death.
Thinking of this, He Chutai couldn't get angry, so he could only sprinkle his anger on He Huishu: "One waste!" Thinking that you have two colors, let you seduce Cheng Yan, I have deceived you, and the medicine has also been given, you are good, you actually failed! ”
He Huishu timidly lowered her eyelashes and whispered, "...... I did everything I could, whether I pretended to be pitiful or coaxed him to get close, he was not fooled, but he also saw my mind thoroughly, I really couldn't help it. In the end, I wanted to break the jar and screamed, and I was hit on the head from behind, and I really tried my best big brother......"
"Do your best? Phew! I think you just can't let go of your body, fake reserve! He Chutai did not give up, and scolded without scruples, "It is said that men chase women across the mountains, and women chase men across the veil." If you can get out, can he not take the bait? ”
He Chutai treated others with himself, and blamed the reason for the failure on He Huishu being too reserved: "How can there be a true sage in the world? Cheng Yan is also a man no matter how he is, if you learn the methods of the prostitutes in the Qinglou to seduce people, I don't believe he can hold it! ”
After all, He Huishu is the daughter of a family, and when she heard her brother compare herself with a prostitute in Qinglou, a sense of humiliation arose, and her face turned white in an instant.
In all fairness, He Huishu is really good-looking, especially at this moment, her body is weak and her face is sickly white, I feel sorry for her, she is a sick and weak beauty.
The more he looked at his sister-in-law's appearance, the more difficult He Chutai became: "It stands to reason that with your appearance, Cheng Yan should feel pity even if he is not fooled, how can he not be tempted at all?" Won't it ...... He can't do it, can he? ”
When this idea first came up, he felt ridiculous, but the more He Chutai thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he squinted and thought for a while, he sneered: "Regardless of whether Cheng Yan is true or not, since he doesn't want to be my son-in-law of the He family, then don't think about being the son-in-law of other families!" ”
