Chapter 316

Ji Chengxi bitterly looked at her, “Ji Chengyu, what do you mean men are not good things? Am I not a man?”

Ji Chengyu looked up at him. “Do you think you’re a good man?”

“Why wouldn’t I be a good man? If I wasn’t a good man, would I have accompanied you to the supermarket to buy and carry your things?”

“You’re a man-hater*! Don’t you know? Being like this would make you unmarriable!”

*T/N: 仇男 means “a person who hates men.”

“Is it a big deal if I can’t get married?” Ji Chengyu sneered. “I really don’t understand why women have to marry men and torture themselves.”

“Let me tell you, I, Ji Chengyu, can be self-reliant and can live well without a man.”Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

She continued, “See? If Jie was single, she wouldn’t have to get drunk here in the middle of the night.”

Ji Chengxi rebutted, “What do you know? My sister and brother-in-law truly love each other. Isn’t it normal for there to be some conflict between lovers, or between husband and wife?”

“Deception shouldn’t be tolerated. If you tolerate it once, it will happen again. Men’s words cannot be trusted.” Ji Chengyu raised her eyebrows. “What’s more, Ji Qingqing told me all these things herself.”

“Ji Chengyu, who hurt you?” Ji Chengxi glared at Ji Chengyu, then grabbed the bottle of alcohol that Ji Qingqing was about to drink from and said, “Okay, sister, don’t drink anymore. This drink won’t get you drunk. It’ll only make you fat. Tell us, how did brother-in-law lie to you?”

“Enough! Shut up, you two!”

Ji Qingqing stared at the two of them angrily, still with an attitude of not admitting the truth. “He and I have a great relationship and he cares for me deeply. Don’t make assumptions. Between me and him, you know... it’s just a small disagreement. Don’t worry, it’ll all pass easily...”

Speaking of this, she herself felt guilty, but she still adamantly insisted, “It will pass in two days. Besides, he and I have been together for so long. What else can’t we get through together?”

“Falling in love at first sight is nothing more than a white lie to coax little girls. It’s all but a reaction to a fleeting attraction. Sister, you’re beautiful so it’s natural for them to fall and have feelings for you. It’s an instinct and it could be said the same for him.

“Think about it. If he didn’t have an idea, brother-in-law wouldn’t choose to pursue you no matter what. He may have started to like you because of your appearance, but now it’s slowly becoming love. Isn’t that a natural thing?”

Ji Chengyu sarcastically commented after listening to him, “You know men well.”

Ji Chengxi went on to say, “Jie, believe me. Men know men best. Not to mention, men like brother-in-law, who have only been close to a few women, are pretty predictable.”

“Men like him have no experience in love so he lacks the understanding and skills to express himself romantically and say nicer things. Perhaps, his intentions were misinterpreted by Jie.”

Ji Chengyu who was listening on the side had similar thoughts on what he said.

Meanwhile, Ji Qingqing almost cried in frustration when she heard it because...

What Ji Chengxi said made sense!

Still, when I remember the time Lu Lixing asked me to call him husband, when he sent those flowers and did so much for me... I feel deceived knowing that all of this was a lie...

She originally thought Lu Lixing loved her as much as she imagined, but, in fact, he didn’t!

But that’s normal – we have only been together for less than three months. How could that kind of love develop between them in just three months?

Sometimes she even wondered if it was also a system task for Lu Lixing to confess to her. But she also told herself that Lu Lixing would not lie to her about this matter.

He may have lied to me before, but now I’m sure he won’t.

Argh! Forget it!

Ji Qingqing leaned back on the sofa. She suddenly didn’t want to think about anything. Right now, all she wanted was just to get a good night’s sleep.
