Chapter 276 Redemption literature? No, dog-licking literature! (16)
"Why did your family cancel the marriage contract with the Jiang family?"
Yu Xin, who didn't know how to explain why she had such doubts, chose to ask the biggest question in her mind.
Lu Changqing asked back: "Can't it be lifted?"
"The Jiang family is very rich. Many people would not do the same thing as your family."
Lu Changqing asked again: "What does the Jiang family's wealth have to do with our family? Can Jiang Chen hand over the Jiang Family Group to me?"
"But if you become his wife, wouldn't it be more reasonable for him to invest in your company in the future?"
Lu Changqing laughed, and Yu Xin was a little confused. "Why are you laughing suddenly?"
"Student Yu, you have never begged for food with your palms facing up, right? If you have never been a beggar, how can you understand the humiliation my parents have endured over the years for that little bit of money?"
Lu Changqing took a sip of juice and continued, "Do you think that I am being ungrateful? The Jiang family clearly used money to help us, but I still think that they were wrong to help us?"
"Is not it?"
"Naive!" Lu Changqing smiled. "Your mother and father are also businessmen. Don't you understand that businessmen value profit? If my family's company is really not important at all, would Jiang Chen's father listen to Jiang Chen and send money every year?"
"But even so, didn't their family help you?"
Lu Changqing corrected, "This is not called helping, this is called a business transaction. Their family gives my family money, and our company provides business services for their group."
Lu Changqing gave an example: "Just like the outsourcing companies your company found, you signed an order contract with them, they provide services, and you pay them. Do you understand now?"
"But..." When the words came to her lips, Yu Xin didn't know how to refute.
She felt that the Qiao family owed the Jiang family. After all, without the Jiang family, the Qiao family's company would have collapsed long ago.
But Lu Changqing's words seemed to make some sense. If the Qiao family company was really useless, then the profit-seeking father Jiang would definitely not listen to Jiang Chen and continue to send money to the Qiao family.
After all, the relationship between this father and son is not good.
"If you still don't understand what I'm saying, I suggest you go home and ask your parents what they think of the previous partnership between my family and the Jiang family."
"Is that why you think Jiang Chen is seeking repayment for a favor and that's why you hate him so much?"
"Hmm? It seems you haven't understood what I meant." Lu Changqing shook his head. "I just said that our two families are in a cooperative relationship and business dealings. His family wants technology and my family wants money. It's a fair trade. My family doesn't owe Jiang Chen anything. How can he be kind to me?"
"But the Jiang family cooperated with you because of you, didn't they?"
Lu Changqing denied it outright, "Of course not! Think about it yourself, if my company's products are really not very useful, would Jiang Chen's father be so willing to buy them?
Don't say it's for Jiang Chen's sake. Jiang Chen doesn't have that much face in front of his father. Similarly, I don't have that much face in front of his father. "
Seeing that Yu Xin didn't say anything, Lu Changqing continued: "I don't know what caused you to have the illusion that the world is at my disposal. I just want to say that if the world really revolves around me, then my family background would not be as different as that of Jiang Chen."
Yu Xin subconsciously defended Jiang Chen and said, "There are rich people in this world, and naturally there are poor people."
"Then why can't Jiang Chen be the poor one?"
Yu Xin looked at Lu Changqing's clothes and said, "Your family is not poor, right?"
"But I'm not as rich as you! I live in a big villa, I have four or five aunts serving me at home, and I'm picked up by luxury cars wherever I go. If the world revolves around me, why can't I enjoy these?"
Yu Xin blurted out, "As long as you give it to Jiang Chen, you will have all these."
"Why can I only have these by following Jiang Chen? Why can't I have them from the beginning?"
Yu Xin thought: He is the male lead and you are the female lead.
Yu Xin naturally wouldn't reveal the fact that she was transmigrated into a book, so she said, "It can't be helped. His father is richer than your father, and he is better at reincarnation than you."
Lu Changqing sneered and shook his head speechlessly.
Yu Xin looked at Lu Changqing unhappily, "What's that expression on your face?"
"I'm curious about what you like about Jiang Chen? He hasn't agreed to be your boyfriend yet, but you keep defending him? Did he cast a spell on you?"
"Do you need a reason to like someone?"
Lu Changqing asked back: "What else?"
"Isn't it okay for me to like him because he's good-looking?"
Lu Changqing nodded and said, "Of course."
"Then why don't you like him?" Yu Xin asked Lu Changqing.
Lu Changqing raised his chin and pointed at Yu Xin, saying, "Because there are many people who think the same as you, they think that my family owes the Jiang family, so I must like Jiang Chen. As his girlfriend, I must not act out of temper. I must serve him tenderly and considerately, read his face, and work like a slave for him! Otherwise, I'd be an ungrateful person without conscience! Do you think so too?"
Yu Xin's eyes were a little evasive, and she stiffened her neck and denied, "No."
Seeing Yu Xin's expression, Lu Changqing said weakly, "You probably can't understand how I feel. It's uncomfortable and heavy, just like a sultry summer afternoon. There's no heavy rain, no lightning or thunder, but only immersion in the endless heat and humidity without sunlight. You can't understand the boundless depression and suffocation as an outsider."
"So, you hate him?"
Lu Changqing shook his head. "Hating someone is a waste of energy. I just ignored him. If you have to use the degree of favorability to reflect how much he means to me, then I don't like him."
"I understand. Because his family background is better than yours, you feel depressed, so you don't like him."
"You still don't understand." Lu Changqing explained again: "It's not because of his family background, but because there are too many people like you who mindlessly protect him, so I want to stay away from him."
Yu Xin looked at Lu Changqing in disbelief, pointed at her nose and said, "I'm brainless?"
"Otherwise, do you think you are rational?"
Lu Changqing crossed his arms and continued, "Actually, I'm quite curious about you. You obviously look down on me, but you are willing to lick the man I look down on. What are you thinking? Can you elaborate on it?"
Although Yu Xin sometimes calls herself a bootlicker, she still feels uncomfortable when others indirectly call her a bootlicker, and her tone of voice is naturally a little bad when she speaks.
"You are you, and Jiang Chen is Jiang Chen. There is no conflict between liking him and looking down on you."
Lu Changqing asked: "What about you now? Do you still look down on me? Do you still think I'm an ungrateful person?"
If the Qiao family had not sold the company and terminated the contract with the Jiang family, Yu Xin felt that she would still think that Qiao Yi was an ungrateful person, but now everything has changed, so she didn't know how to evaluate the person in front of her.
Seeing that Yu Xin didn't answer, Lu Changqing sighed, "If you could care about me half as much as you care about Jiang Chen, you wouldn't be speechless when I asked you this."
