Chapter 398: People from Two Worlds
Ningwan couldn’t help Old Mrs. Zhan recover, the only thing she could do was try to improve her situation.
However, in this regard, Jin Yingzi was also an expert.
So, Ningwan went to find Jin Yingzi, and incidentally asked her about her relationship issues with Wen Jianan.
Jin Yingzi first talked with her about the medication for Old Mrs. Zhan’s condition. After they figured it out, Ningwan asked her what she thought.
"I didn’t expect you to care about this kind of issue?" Jin Yingzi looked at her in surprise.
Ningwan immediately explained, "Originally, I didn’t want to meddle. But since Wen Jianan came to me for help. You know, he’s my master’s son, and since he asked for my help, I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing."
"How do you plan to help?" Jin Yingzi asked.
Ningwan laughed lightly, "Of course, ask you. I can’t force you to marry him. You two have been together for years, why don’t you want to marry him? Do you think he’s not reliable? That can’t be, if you thought he wasn’t reliable, you would probably have broken up with him a long time ago. Or is it that you’ve fallen for someone else and feel too awkward to bring up a breakup?"
"None of that," Jin Yingzi said, "It has nothing to do with these things."
"Then what is it related to?" Ningwan asked.
Jin Yingzi pressed her lips together, seeming unsure of how to tell her.
Ningwan asked, "Is it difficult to start? Actually... why don’t you try viewing me as a wall, just vent to the wall."
Jin Yingzi was amused, "How can I view you as a wall?"
"Why not? As long as you want to, everything is possible."
"It’s not that difficult to start," Jin Yingzi said, "It’s just that... I feel he and I are not the same kind of people, there’s a bit of distance."
"You’ve been together for four years, and only now you feel you’re not the same kind?" Ningwan raised an eyebrow.
Jin Yingzi said, "Actually, our relationship is very good. But Miss Ye, in life, there’s not only love but many other things. Like socializing, like interpersonal relationships, there are all sorts of things. He has twenty years of life experience that I can’t fully integrate into."
"I see, you’ve attended parties with him and felt out of place, while he could handle everything with ease. You feel like you belong to two different worlds, with myriad differences. You don’t like his friends, and he can’t always revolve around you, right?" Ningwan said.
Jin Yingzi pursed her lips and remained silent.
Ningwan sighed lightly, and after a while, she slowly said, "Yingzi, I can empathize with your concerns and discomfort."
"You can’t," Jin Yingzi smiled bitterly, "After all, you’re Miss Ye from the Ye Family, even though you might be a fallen rich girl, you’re still the real deal. Unlike me, from a remote area, before you bought me a chicken leg, I didn’t know what it tasted like. You showed me this colorful world, made me realize there’s more than just black and white. But deep-rooted things are already etched into my bones. Changing is really hard for me. Moreover, my personality is just like this, accustomed to solitude, not sociable, unlike you, shining brightly at any moment, unfearing of anything."
"I’m not as formidable as you say, and you’re not as weak as you think," Ningwan said, "A lot of things, when you try, you’ll find there’s nothing to it. Aren’t you afraid to attend parties? I’ll take you. Since I showed you the colorful world, I’ll show you more."
"Miss Ye, what are you doing?"
Jin Yingzi was pulled up by Ningwan, asking with a face full of horror.
Ningwan said, "Going to a bar. Although it’s a bit early, there should be people already. I don’t know if there’s any party in the evening, I’ll call Feng Jiuzun and ask him."
"I don’t want to go, I don’t like that kind of place. Wen Jianan has taken me before, but I really don’t like it." Jin Yingzi refused.
Ningwan said, "He took you, you didn’t like it, that’s because he didn’t take you right. If you go with me, I guarantee no problem."
After saying that, she took out her phone to call Wu Taotao, and then called Feng Jiuzun to inquire about the party.
Feng Jiuzun couldn’t think of any big party for the moment, said he’d check it out for her, and asked her to wait for news.
So, Ningwan first dragged Jin Yingzi to the bar.
Wu Taotao was someone who loved excitement and wouldn’t miss out; when she heard about going to a bar, she of course enthusiastically responded.
She’s now somewhat known as a painter, always looking for inspiration, and it was rare that Ningwan invited her to a bar.
So, she dropped her paintbrush and ran over.
Seeing Jin Yingzi, she showed a surprised expression.
Ningwan said, "We’re taking her to have fun at a bar, is there a good one nearby, take us there."
"You’ve come to the right person, no one knows better than me." Wu Taotao snapped her fingers.
Jin Yingzi was taken by the two of them.
At this time, the bar wasn’t crowded since it was meant for the night owls.
It had just turned dark, and the best of the night had yet to begin. In the quiet environment, only a few people were sitting in the corners chatting slowly.
Wu Taotao found a spot and waved over a waiter.
"Hey handsome, any good recommendations?"
"Our mixologist just concocted something new, Pink Companion, would the three beauties like to try a glass each?"
"Pink Companion? What’s with the girly name." Wu Taotao frowned.
The waiter gave her a sweet smile.
The waiters here were all pretty handsome, and a smile like that was certainly pleasing to the eye.
Wu Taotao nodded, "Okay, then three glasses."
The waiter nodded and asked them to wait while he went to the mixologist.
Jin Yingzi was left stunned. After the waiter left, she hurriedly asked Wu Taotao, "Aren’t you dating Ye Shao, how come you still—"
"Just because I’m dating Ye Shao doesn’t mean I’ve sold myself to him. Can’t I talk to other men?" Wu Taotao said.
Jin Yingzi’s face turned multicolored, seemingly not agreeing with Wu Taotao’s view.
"What, your mindset is still stuck at believing that liking someone means not talking to anyone of the opposite sex? Then how do you treat male patients?" Wu Taotao asked.
Jin Yingzi said, "That’s different, for a doctor there’s no distinction between genders."
"So you think one of the reasons you’re not compatible with Wen Jianan is the way you interact with the opposite sex?" Ningwan quickly and cleverly guessed the reason.
Jin Yingzi blushed.
This kind of thing, she really didn’t want to admit; being petty and jealous didn’t quite match her persona.
"Has Wen Jianan been flirting with other women?" Wu Taotao asked with a smile.
Jin Yingzi said, "It’s not flirting, it’s just..."
"He can talk, he can chat, and he can banter a bit, right?" Ningwan added.
Jin Yingzi lowered her head, tightly pressing her lips together.
