Chapter 17: Deception
"I see!" Tang Shu asked, "But what did they give you?" ”
"Gifted ......"
Song Jie pondered for a while, then replied:
"I'll give you a few things you know, and they forcibly sent me things - Feng Jin gave me a diamond ring, Yu Qiang gave a sports car, Zheng Wei gave a precious watch, Shen Pu sent a jewelry necklace, and Luo Yan sent a bag......"
"Ah, such a thing is an extremely expensive gift...... For example, diamond rings, expensive watches, jewelry necklaces, bags, etc. are worth at least thousands to tens of thousands, especially the sports cars given by Yu Qiang, which are worth hundreds of thousands to millions of yuan...... Have you accepted it all? ”
"Of course ......"
"You...... You...... Just as others unceremoniously talk about you - Song Jie, you are indeed a material woman, they are indeed right, I used to think that what they said was false? ”
Tang Shu was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Don't be angry! Tang Shu, please listen to me explain clearly-I am not what you think...... Substance...... Or people say I'm a flirtatious ...... It's not like this......" Song Jie stroked the hair on her forehead.
"What is that? ……”
"Tang Shu, don't you think about it for me?" Song Jie said, "-these people...... What will be the consequences if I refuse these precious gifts they have given me? Can you put yourself in my shoes and think for me? ”
"I'm not you, how do I know? ……”
"These men...... You should be clear...... They're going to be hard and soft on me......"
"What......"
"Don't you understand what I'm saying about both hard and soft? - These stinky men are soft, and they are kneeling and begging me to take their things...... If it's hard, it's to beat me! ”
"Won't it?" Tang Shu was taken aback......
"How could it not? These stinky men are going to threaten me with violence, that's for sure...... And some people can do everything...... For example, Yu Qiang ......"
"Ah, there's such a thing...... Too domineering and vicious, right? ”
"You have just been born in society, and you don't know the sinister things about people's hearts, but they are described in film and television dramas or novels...... You should know - I had to do it...... So I have to accept it so that they can feel at ease...... I don't have any other choice! ”
"Ah...... No wonder...... So what did you give them and didn't give them? ”
"I didn't give them anything, though, but ......"
"But what?"
"Sometimes I give them a hug or a gentle kiss as a reward...... They all seem to be satisfied—"
"Is there really nothing else besides that?"
"No—don't you even believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, but I think it's strange – it's going to be a big problem...... There's going to be a big problem, I'm already feeling it......"
"What? ……”
"For example, Yu Qiang...... He...... Do you know what's going on? ”
"What's wrong with him?"
"As far as I know, he is now ...... in the hospital"
"Oh, I know...... I called him, and he said he had fallen and injured himself—"
Tang Shu originally wanted to say: "I heard from my father that he found someone to ...... the injured person."
But my mind turned a little and I felt that I couldn't say that...... This will kill my father...... So he said:
"Really? That's not the case - you ask again...... Don't let these reasons lead to your life! ”
"Human life? …… I don't know what you're talking about? ”
"Song Jie, I have a sentence, I don't know whether to ask or not?"
"Shu Shu, you ask! We should talk to each other about everything......"
"But...... Promise me you won't be angry......"
"Well, I'm not going to be angry, but...... I know what you're asking? ”
"Song Jie, do you know what I'm going to ask? You're so powerful, are you the roundworm in my stomach? ”
"Well, I know you want to ask your father, right?"
"Ah...... You're really amazing...... What I want to ask is, what did my father give you? …… My father, does he have anything to do with you? ”
Tang Shu plucked up his courage and finally asked this sentence, and he pondered repeatedly in his heart, should he ask...... The question –
If you don't ask, hold it in your heart, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future......
If she asked, Song Jie might be angry-
However...... In any case, Tang Shu has to untie the knots in his heart-
In this way, the heart is relieved - otherwise these problems are pimples, like big stones, pressed in the heart and gasped all the time-
"Shu Shu, you think too much, I have nothing to do with your father, really...... Really, you have to believe me......"
"Really?"
"As far as I can see, you don't have an ordinary relationship with him......"
"Hehe, you're really thinking too much...... I contacted your father purely for the sake of my mother's lawsuit, and my mother begged your father for help, and I bore the brunt of it, to keep in touch with your father......"
"Oh...... I see! …… Your mom is in a lawsuit, how's it going? ”
"With your father's help, most of the arrears have to be returned, thanks to your father's maneuvering......"
"The last time I printed out the litigation materials, I gave them to her...... Did she go to court? Why not hire a lawyer? ”
"I took it a long time ago...... Hire a lawyer - it's useless, it costs money...... In the end, it is still up to the judge to decide...... Your father is familiar with the judges...... He said hello, and it was much more effective than the lawyers who were 'fighting with words'......"
"Oh......"
Song Jie brought the roses, which were moistened by the rain and looked more delicate, to her cheeks, which looked as tender as jade—she seemed to feel that the reflection of the bright petals would shine on her cheeks.
"Can you see that I've really changed?" Song Jie asked.
"Yes, I think you've really changed! I almost can't recognize you anymore......" Tang Shu replied in a low voice.
"I understand, you know, I used to be cold to you and ignore you...... Song Jie said, "However, you shouldn't take this to heart at all...... But, but ...... I had to do this...... Oh, I tell you these things, I don't know if you understand what it means? ”
"Of course I understand, I'm already an adult, and I'm not a three-year-old — you don't accept that I love you — that's what happened, right?"
Tang Shu unconsciously became excited, and said loudly depressedly, his lips trembled slightly, and strings of tears flowed down his immature cheeks without a single wrinkle.
"No,...... No, I accept ...... I accept it, you can love me—however, I have one condition—"
"On what terms?"
"My condition is that you don't love me like you used to, love me in a different way, okay?"
"How?"
