Chapter 640 - Naivety

Jiahui’s eyes widened slightly. “Your man? Who’s your man? Why would I steal your man?”

Guan Tang stared at Jiahui silently and unblinkingly.

Then, realization dawned on Jiahui. She said with a scoff, “Oh, I get it now. You’re referring to Cheng Che, right? So you were just pretending to be calm. Why bother? You should’ve just said that you like Cheng Che and asked me to give him to you. Wouldn’t that be easier?”

With this, Guan Tang’s expression finally changed.

Jiahui continued to say, “Naturally, even if you asked, I wouldn’t give him to you.”

Smack!

Guan Tang slapped Jiahui’s face hard.

Jiahui’s head was knocked to the side, and her ears began to ring. Nonetheless, she still said with a smile, “Aren’t you tired of pretending? What a hypocrite. Let me tell you. You won’t be able to win over Cheng Che with this kind of behavior. He hates hypocrites and people who put on air the most. In other words, you’re the kind of person he hates.”

Guan Tang raised her hand again.

Jiahui closed her eyes, but the slap did not come. When she opened one eye and saw the slap had fallen, she opened the other eye and said with a sigh, “I was just thinking how could there be such a beautiful and also gentle woman in the world? Cheng Che’s really unlucky.”

Guan Tang sneered. “Without you, he’d be lucky.”

Jiahui smiled contemptuously. “I knew you’d think that way. Let me tell you now. Even if you kill me now, Cheng Che still wouldn’t like you. He’s the kind who’s very loyal. Since he’s fallen in love with me, he won’t fall in love with another woman.”

Guan Tang did not take Jiahui’s words to heart.

Jiahui continued to say, “I know. You probably think there are no good men in this world. You likely have never met a decent man either. How pitiful. Let me tell you that there are three good men in this world, and Cheng Che is one of them. I dare to bet with you using my life that Cheng Che won’t change his mind.”

Guan Tang could not help but ask curiously, “Who are the other two good men?”

“The other two? Oh. One of them is my father. He’s loyal to my mother. In my father’s eyes, even just a strand of the hair on my mother’s head is cute. It doesn’t matter if she’s almost 60 years old now. In my father’s eyes, she’s the most beautiful woman in the world. My father has loved my mother for so long, and he’ll continue to do so until his last breath on earth. What do you think? Touching, right?” Jiahui said. After a pause, she continued to say, “The second man is someone you know. Mu Chen.”

Guan Tang raised an eyebrow. “Do you like Mu Chen?”

Jiahui rolled her eyes. “Are you sick? Mu Chen’s married to my best friend, Song Ning. He could tell even when someone was impersonating Song Ning. I’m really impressed.”

Then, Jiahui’s voice softened as she slowly said, “And like I said earlier, the third one is Cheng Che. Although our relationship isn’t as romantic as my parents or as passionate and dramatic as Song Ning and Mu Chen, as the saying goes, ‘Still water runs deep’. Cheng Che will never betray me. So, Miss Guan Tang, I advise you not to waste your energy.”

Guan Tang looked at Jiahui’s red and swollen cheek before she said with a sneer, “I advise you not to be too naive.”

Jiahui asked, “What’s wrong with being naive?”

Guan Tang said frostily, “You’ll be struck by reality. Do you want to see the cruel reality of this world? Let’s start with Cheng Che. Let’s bet on whether he’d have a change of heart. What do you think?”

Jiahui thought about it seriously for a moment before she said, “Alright. I’ll bet with you. If Cheng Che has a change of heart, I promise to leave him and never see him again. However, what if he doesn’t have a change of heart?”

Guan Tang said, “You don’t have the right to set the conditions.”

Jiahui looked at the ropes that bind her before she said, “Very well. It’s up to you then.”
