Chapter 254: Quid pro quo
Du Yurong looked at it curiously.
The old professor's tone was quiet, "When my wife was alive, I chased fame and fortune and often ignored her feelings. It wasn't until she was gone that I realized that what I had been pursuing before was meaningless. No matter how much effort I put in, the person I want to be with is no longer in this world. ”
Du Yurong was dumbfounded for a while.
Shen Huo'an helped the old professor to sit down on a bench in the garden.
The old professor patted Shen Huo'an's hand soothingly, "An An is a good boy, rigorous and serious, and responsible. Although it seems to be a little colder, it's actually very enthusiastic. Thanks to his care over the years, I, an old man, have been able to live a quiet life.
"My grandfather and I are also old acquaintances, and that old thing is now in retreat, and he doesn't care about the two children. What I'm most worried about is that after the death of our old things, An An has no one around him who cares about him. It wasn't until he told me that he was going to bring a girl to visit me that I knew that this child had someone in his heart! ”
The old professor looked sideways and looked at Du Yurong, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little sharp.
"However, I can also see that you don't think so much about us An An. Miss Du, today I can promise to take your niece as an apprentice, but I also have one condition-
"You must agree to An An's pursuit, in exchange!"
Shen Huo'an frowned and resisted: "Professor, don't embarrass her. Pursuing her is my own business, and she has the right to choose freely. ”
The old professor stared at Du Yurong stubbornly, "Miss Du, what do you think?" With An An'an's current conditions, it is not a loss for you to agree to his pursuit. And, I can use all my connections to pave the way for your niece. This is the key to another world for you! ”
"I refuse."
Du Yurong stood up and looked directly into the eyes of the old professor without humility or arrogance, "I'm very sorry, even if we return in vain today, I can't have a clear conscience and agree to associate with Shen Huo'an." Such a hasty decision is unfair to me and to him. ”
"As you said, Shen Huo'an is a very good man. I can't deny that I was tempted when I had such a suitor around me. But I can't start a new relationship with someone else on the premise that I am still married, this is immoral!
"Our relationship has unfolded in a state where I am already a self-possessed person. Then, according to each other's status, wealth level, and even cognitive level, we will solve all kinds of problems encountered in our interactions. I don't want Shen Huo'an's love to become worthless! ”
The corners of Shen Huo'an's lips gradually curled, with a smile in his eyes, he looked at Du Yurong, as if at this moment, she was the only one left in the world.
Du Yurong said: "I will not use this relationship to seek any benefits." If we leave here today, it must be because we are not capable enough, not because I did not choose to take a shortcut.
"I hope you can understand my feelings, I'm not rejecting your kindness, I'm just like you, I just want to make Shen Huo'an happy, that's all."
To put it mildly, even if she and Shen Huo'an have never crossed Lei Chi by half a step, she really hopes that her relationship with Shen Huo'an will be able to be brought up when it is mentioned again in the future, and it will not make him feel ashamed.
The old professor did not speak again.
