Chapter 1144: Changes may occur, but human nature remains the same!
Professor Xie asked with a smile, "Why?"
Linghua replied, "I don't want to associate with people who cause too much trouble. My third brother and Cao Yuanyuan were so in love back then, but they broke up in the end. I know the main reason was that my third brother and Cao Yuanyuan had different pursuits, but it's also true that Yang Wenwen interfered."
"Later they broke up, and Third Brother went to work in a local unit. She even went after him. After being rejected by Third Brother, she actually made a big scene. Fortunately, Sister Xiaomi was there and resolved the embarrassing situation. Otherwise, it would have had a great impact on Third Brother."
“Although I am not involved in politics, I often hear my parents say that relationships between men and women are one of the criteria for evaluation. My third brother’s achievements today are not only due to his own hard work, but also to the support of the entire Liu family. He was almost influenced by Yang Wenwen.”
"For this reason alone, I particularly dislike Yang Wenwen. Xu Feng is Yang Wenwen's cousin. Although I don't dislike him, I don't want to have too much contact with him, lest he misunderstand. So today I directly refused his offer to send me local specialties, and told him I was busy tomorrow."
Professor Xie smiled with relief and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, don't force yourself to get along. Feelings are the most important thing. Whether it's a romantic relationship or everyday interactions, if something makes you uncomfortable, you must stay away from it."
"I understand, Second Aunt," Linghua said, her voice full of gratitude.
Professor Xie's eyes flickered slightly, and then he brought up Liang Cheng: "What's your impression of Liang Cheng, the young man who worked with you today? Do you like him?"
Linghua smiled and said, "I have a little bit of a crush on him, but we haven't known each other for very long, so we need to spend more time together. Besides, I'm very busy with work right now, and so is he, so there's no rush when it comes to relationships."
Professor Xie nodded: "You did the right thing. If you have any questions, you can talk to me. If you're too embarrassed to ask your elders, then you can talk to your sister."
With her eldest sister not around, Professor Xie, as her aunt, naturally had to take extra care of her niece—after all, an aunt is like a second mother. She continued, "If you're sure the other person has good character and values, and is also capable, then leave it to your gut feeling. Two people who are attracted to each other will have a very strong emotional connection."
If you act solely on your feelings without knowing anything about the situation, you're likely to fall into the trap of being blinded by love. But if you have a full understanding of the situation, things are different.
As a mother, teaching by example can help your daughter avoid many detours.
Of course, it also depends on the child himself.
Many girls listen attentively to their mothers' advice and take the best parts of their mothers' experience while discarding the worst, finding the parts that suit them and keeping themselves clear-headed in relationships and marriage, which often leads to good results.
However, many girls feel that their mothers' experience is outdated and out of touch with the times, and even look down on it. Instead of taking the best from their elders' experience and discarding the worst, they deliberately do the opposite.
These self-righteous young girls think this is freedom, but they only see the surface rules of social development, failing to delve into the core to understand the essence. They overlook one point: no matter how things change, human nature remains constant. Furthermore, they fail to see beyond the surface to the fact that the underlying logic of society is actually quite cruel.
"Okay!" Linghua smiled and readily agreed.
Since coming to Shenzhen and staying with her second aunt and cousin, Linghua has learned to think independently and listen to other people's advice, so she takes every step very steadily.
Linghua has firsthand experience with this.
The little bit of rebelliousness in my heart gradually disappeared as I grew older, replaced by a sense of composure and calmness.
Back at the hotel, Liang Cheng had just finished showering and turned on his phone to send a text message to Linghua, only to find several missed calls—all from Xu Feng!
Liang Cheng rolled his eyes, opened the call log, and called back.
The call was answered quickly, and Xu Feng's voice was filled with exasperation: "Liang Cheng, you are truly despicable and shameless!"
Liang Cheng gave a half-smile: "Hmph, the way you say that is really unpleasant. I came to Shenzhen for work, and aren't you coming too?"
"How did you know?" Xu Feng was shocked. "Did Linghua tell you?"
Liang Cheng didn't answer, but instead feigned mystery: "No one's stopping you from pursuing Linghua, but don't attack me either. Let's each rely on our own abilities!"
Xu Feng was speechless for a moment before saying, "That's not fair. You're in a good position, so you get what you deserve. As for me, I'm far away from the emperor, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't compete with you who's closer."
"Excuses, those are all excuses," Liang Cheng retorted. "When it comes to feelings, the key is in actions and feelings. I believe you have feelings for Linghua, but you're too slow to act. Whose fault is that?"
Xu Feng gritted his teeth in anger: "Liang Cheng, why is this the first time I've ever heard you speak so harshly?"
“How can this be the same?” Liang Cheng smiled. “We used to be good friends and brothers, but now we’re competitors. I plan to reconcile with you after this matter is resolved.”
At this point, can't you still distinguish between "contradictions between the enemy and ourselves"?
"Liang Cheng, you shameless bastard who forgets his principles for the sake of women!" Xu Feng hung up the phone in anger, but unintentionally, he also cursed himself in the process.
Yang Wenwen overheard her cousin making a phone call on the balcony. After Xu Feng hung up, she went over and asked, "Cousin, what's wrong? Haven't you and Liang Cheng always had a good relationship?"
“From now on, this is bad,” Xu Feng said through gritted teeth. “Don’t mention Liang Cheng in front of me again.”
Yang Wenwen asked nervously, "Cousin, did you hear Grandma say... that you like water chestnuts?"
Xu Feng frowned: "I already told you not to mention this again, why are you still bringing it up?"
Yang Wenwen quickly smiled apologetically: "Cousin, don't be angry. I overheard Grandma and Mom talking. Linghua is just a singer. Even if she becomes a music teacher or professor at a school after getting married, that's fine. But if she still wants to show her face in public, that's not a good idea."
Xu Feng glanced at his cousin: "You are a woman too, you should know how difficult it is to have a career. It is neither polite nor reasonable to ask someone to give up their career."
“But you’re busy with work, and if she’s busy too, and neither of you is home, what will happen to your child? How will you maintain your family?” Yang Wenwen remained unconvinced. “Cousin, you really need to think this through. By the way, Sister Sufeng is back from studying abroad, how about…”
Xu Feng glared at Yang Wenwen: "Shut up! If Linghua and I are really together, we'll naturally find a way to solve these problems. After all, you can't even handle your own feelings, so don't try to tell me what to do. As for Yao Sufeng, she's your good friend, but please keep your head up. Do you think I would like a woman who couldn't even get into a vocational school in China and had to go abroad to get a diploma?"
"Furthermore, she has been studying abroad since high school. You only see her glamorous appearance every time she comes back, but do you know who she has met and what she has done during those years abroad? I am pursuing a career in politics, and every step must be taken carefully, without any room for error."
Yang Wenwen blushed after Xu Feng's words and whispered in her defense, "Cousin, I didn't mean to harm you. I just... I just think you deserve better."
Actually, she also had her own selfish motives. She hoped that her cousin's future wife would have a good relationship with her, so that she would have more confidence when she asked her cousin for support in the future.
