Chapter 378 - 202: Hope Everyone is Fine! Thank You for Your Sincerity! (Thanks to the Support From Book Friends)_6
In the eyes of the head of the Celestial Capital Department, you’re simply being arrogant.
An outsider, just coming over to investigate this and that, not to mention offering money, but at least did you even say two proper words to me? Do you really think that my Celestial Capital Department is your Song Yinghan’s home? When did my people from Celestial Capital Department become your Song Yinghan’s family?
Do you truly believe just because your father is the Celestial Capital Department’s Tianjian, we’d be afraid of you? Whose "alma mater" doesn’t have a "principal"? Whose "principal" isn’t associated with Tianjian, making it seem like they’re really something, what’s the meaning of this?
Feeling the grievance from the beautiful Song Yinghan next to him, Yuchi too asked jokingly:
"Yinghan, speaking of this, I’m really curious about one thing. You knew how to give things to Yi’Er at the time, but when you encounter such matters, why don’t you consider other people’s feelings?"
"You just joined the Celestial Capital Department at noon, and I looked at you so many times back and forth, but you didn’t come to your senses. You didn’t even have the intention to greet the head of Celestial Capital Department."
"You directly used this identity to pressure them, forcing them to cooperate with you. How did you reason this out?"
Isn’t it true? Yinghan the great beauty even gave Yi’Er such precious things earlier, but when it comes to these matters, you’re ignorant?
Song Yinghan’s mask concealed her face, leaving behind just one phrase, she said sourly:
"You’re different from them! It was you, and that’s why I gave it to you. Otherwise, how could I possibly give it to your Yi’Er? Back in Jiangzhou City, you embraced me, so you’re playing dumb now?! You know when you embraced me, you have to take responsibility for me. I’m not a random person! I’ve been cultivating in the Star-Gazing Tower, I haven’t left! At the time, I just pretended not to care, otherwise, I would’ve bitten you already, letting you know the consequence of treating me this way!"
"Hmph!"
"After returning, my father asked about Jiangzhou City matters; luckily, I didn’t tell him about such things. Otherwise, if he found out you forcibly took me into your arms, your dear Yuchi would’ve already turned into ten thousand taels of silver, killed by the Cloud Descending Sect."
"You took advantage and still act innocent, mocking me. I have thousands of suitors, yet somehow you controlled me with unknown means."
"You even complained I gained weight!"
"Wow, now that I think of it, you truly are a heartbreaker. We haven’t seen each other in so long, and the moment we meet, you say I’ve gained weight!"
Song Yinghan became more aggrieved as she spoke, feeling life unworthy. Although she wasn’t good at expressing, she’s a woman after all. Does pride conflict with tenderness? It doesn’t conflict. After all you’ve done to me, can’t you see what kind of person I am?
Complaining about me, saying I’ve gained weight...
Fine, in this lifetime, we can’t bypass this hurdle. Yuchi’s old face showed many smiles, and he laughed as he said: "Don’t be angry, I’ll treat you to something nice tonight. Whatever you want to eat, just let me know!"
"Oh, what food can I eat? Can I still eat? I’ve gotten this fat, and I still eat, what will I eat, to the point of turning into a pig’s head for you to laugh at?"
Song Yinghan’s beautiful eyes were soft like water, yet she pretended to be very angry, glaring at Yuchi:
"I don’t care, you’ll have to help me solve what’s next. If you don’t help me, I won’t be with you anymore, and you’ll still want to see my face? Want to bully me? You’re dreaming! I’ll directly send people to raid your business association’s old home and hang you on a tree to swing."
"If worse comes to worst, I’ll just tell my dad you drugged me."
"Tell him you bullied me!"
Oh ancestor, you really want me dead. Your father is a Tianjian, and who knows what kind of connections Tianjian has. This, I really can’t handle... But, he couldn’t help but laugh and say: "Don’t worry, I’ll help you handle this matter shortly. Just follow me and see the situation; consider it a lesson from me."
"This sounds reasonable!" Song Yinghan was satisfied.
To outsiders, proud Song the great beauty, in essence, also has her gentle side. The stronger she seems on the surface, the more she expects such matters, yet it’s unknown what she’ll do when it really develops to that stage. Would she cry out loud?
Getting back to the point, Yuchi said seriously:
"Here’s what we’ll do. Tomorrow noon, call out the head of the Celestial Capital Department, pick a bright place to have a meal. Then, extend some benefits, or even just show a bit of respect to others, they’ll help you when they can. Just don’t show a ’I don’t care’ attitude; that’s not how you ask for favors."
Asking for help means lowering yourself. Who goes to borrow soy sauce with a knife at someone else’s house? You must understand the basic etiquette of mutual respect. Being stubborn like you own the world, coming clean from mud without getting stained, ten out of nine people like that are exceedingly narrow-minded.
Song Yinghan understood and seriously replied to Yuchi’s question: "Okay, tomorrow noon you come with me, let’s invite him for a meal."
Yuchi boldly held her little hand, sensing her slight resistance before she yielded softly, he laughed and said:
"Alright, I’ll perform for you tomorrow at noon; not to teach you to flatter others, but to help you understand sometimes you need to think from others’ perspectives."
"What do others want? What do we want? How can we act to benefit both sides simultaneously?"
"This is the basic principle for conversation and action; group interests are most important. Individual interests are subordinate to group interests."
"You can be proud, but not arrogant."
Yuchi pulled Song Yinghan along with a somewhat chiding tone.
The feeling of being scolded by him... it’s oddly nice... Song Yinghan nodded slightly and said: "I understand. You should’ve told me this sooner, you probably foresaw I’d make a fool of myself and deliberately let me cause a scene in the Celestial Capital Department!"
Yuchi: "No, no, no, I really didn’t know, I never thought you’d overlook this point."
Song Yinghan: "..."
Feeling the warmth from Yuchi’s hand, Song Yinghan was conflicted: Here I am, a grand entity now being pinched like a small chick... Then you... don’t always lust after my body, you should see my true goodness and beauty, do you know that?
Yuchi had no idea what Song Yinghan was thinking, but he could sense Song Yinghan’s hesitant grip, cautious and careful, she’s still just a little girl. Turns out, Song the great beauty still worried about breaking her own wrist if she used force. Does dear Yuchi seem so fragile?
To grasp a hand and have it break? If it got to that point, I’d lose my lineage!
At the roadside.
A little child grabbed a noodle with chopsticks, but the child mishandled it and broke the noodle.
His mother immediately slapped him: You broke the longevity noodle?
The child turned tearfully: I didn’t mean to, the noodle’s too weak.
Yuchi believed it.
