868: 636 Jianghu lads die in the Jianghu 868: 636 Jianghu lads die in the Jianghu “Brother Song, what’s the background of this Jiang Chen?”
There was no anger.
Although he had an embarrassing mont at the Chanel store, warm face pressed against a cold butt, Guo Anle, as a young master from a prominent family, wasn’t petty.
First, he didn’t go to He Yihui to demand explanations, nor did he challenge Jiang Chen to a duel; rather, he was curious about Jiang Chen’s background.
As the saying goes, know your enemy and yourself and you will never be defeated.
A family background like his would never allow him to make rash, hot-headed decisions; it was in his genes.
Those who rush off to settle scores after a slight “injustice,” these scenes mostly happen in lodramatic TV shows or silly novels.
Real figures with any substantial standing would never be so impatient.
“I’m not too sure either.”
Guo Anle thought he would find an answer here, but the response he received made him sowhat skeptical.
“Not even you, Brother Song?”
“I’m not the census bureau.”
Song Chaoge joked, then said, “I can only tell you, his appeal with won isn’t bad.”
His appeal with won isn’t bad,
This comnt was nothing if not fair.
Guo Anle opened his mouth, feeling like he had been socked in the chest, a bit stifled.
Song Chaoge smiled, “But don’t worry, Miss He and he are probably just friends.”
“How do you know?”
“He has a girlfriend.
From his university.”
Upon hearing this, Guo Anle didn’t feel relieved but smiled ruefully instead.
“Brother Song, I hope you’re not just comforting .
If he didn’t have a girlfriend, would I stand no chance at all?”
Indeed.
That comnt did not sound like a comfort, more like a slight.
“That’s not what I an.”
Song Chaoge’s smile suggested denial as he went on to analyze rationally, “Miss He rarely goes inland, so she couldn’t have had any encounters with him before; they must’ve t only recently.
How long has he been in Haojiang?”
Song Chaoge speculated.
“So, the reason why Miss He did that was to make a display for you.”
“I know.”
Leaning back on the sofa, Guo Anle exhaled.
He wasn’t stupid; he could see through such an obvious act.
So he wasn’t jealous of Jiang Chen.
What really bothered him was the attitude He Yihui had shown.
Was she really unwilling to give him any kind of chance by deliberately taking another man ho right in front of him?
Guo Anle leaned on the sofa, tilting his head back, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, feeling frustrated and a bit lost.
“Brother Song, do you think I should give up?
Trying to turn sothing sour sweet never works, and if I give up now, we can still be friends.
I’m afraid if I keep pushing, I’ll even lose that.”
Song Chaoge looked at the wavering young master of Gangcheng but didn’t respond directly to the question.
“I haven’t had much interaction with Miss He in the past, so I don’t know her well, and what I know is from your stories.
But now I think she’s a good girl.”
Guo Anle, perplexed, turned his head, “I offered to take her ho, yet she ignored and instead took a taxi with another guy.
Brother Song, I’ve never encountered such a situation before.”
“Experiencing different walks of life is what life’s about.”
Guo Anle was taken aback and smiled ruefully, “Brother Song, whose side are you on?”
Song Chaoge laughed, “It’s precisely because she left you standing on the street that I think she’s decent.”
Guo Anle was completely puzzled and put on a serious face in dissatisfaction, “Brother Song, are you deliberately making fun of ?”
Song Chaoge shook his head, “When looking at a problem, you can’t just look at the surface, you have to get down to the essence.”
“What essence?”
“You know she’s acting deliberately, but have you thought about why she would perform for you?”
Isn’t that question simple?
Without a second thought, Guo Anle blurted out, “To make give up pursuing her.”
“Smart,” praised Song Chaoge.
Guo Anle smiled bitterly and remained silent.
“Then think again, given the He family’s current situation, she could’ve easily taken advantage of you, pretending to comply temporarily; using your influence to help her family through tough tis.
Most won in her position, I believe, would choose to do so, but she didn’t.”
Song Chaoge explained calmly, “She didn’t toy with you.
Instead, she gave you a clear stance; she doesn’t want to waste your emotional ti and energy.
Just for that, she’s already stronger than most won.”
Guo Anle furrowed his brow, thoughtfully.
That statent didn’t seem too pleasant to hear, at least not a pat on the back for him, but for so reason, it made sense and he felt it would be a pity to give up just like that.
“Brother Song, what you’re saying makes feel like I should persist.”
Song Chaoge didn’t offer a straightforward suggestion, rely saying, “Emotional matters are different from others; what to do in the end still requires your own decision.
Others’ opinions can only serve as a reference.”
Guo Anle looked at him, started smiling, and couldn’t help but sit up straighter, “Brother Song, you speak as if you’re neutral, but don’t worry, whatever the outco, I definitely won’t bla you.”
“I was genuinely worried you might hold responsible in the end.”
Song Chaoge said jokingly.
Guo Anle’s mood lightened considerably, and he stood up, supporting himself on his knees.
“Where are you off to?”
Song Chaoge asked.
“I’m thinking about what birthday gift to prepare for Yi Hui.”
Guo Anle exhaled and said.
Song Chaoge shook his head, smiling, “Alright, go on then.”
