When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1113 Shengnan 45
Craving someone's love is the hardest thing in the world. If even her parents don't love her, how can she expect someone with no blood relation to her to love her?
Tan You treated her very well; Jiang Shengnan knew that Tan You was the kindest person in the world to her. She gave her money and taught her skills, but Tan You treated her with the same care and concern that a strong person shows to a weak person.

He Jiahui treated her well, but there were bigger interests involved in that kindness. Xia Ji and Wu You, the two young girls, were innocent, but they were too young to understand her complex feelings.

Sara... Sara isn't here; she's abroad.

After counting and counting, Jiang Shengnan realized that she didn't have a single peer around her with whom she could confide. Tan You understood all her pain, but Jiang Shengnan also had to admit that there were some things Tan You couldn't do.

For example, give her a warm hug when she is vulnerable, so that she feels needed.

Only now does Jiang Shengnan understand that even though she has distanced herself from everyone in the Jiang family in her life, she has not escaped the shackles of her original family. She is still a victim of the family that favored sons over daughters.

Tan You: "What do you plan to do?"

Jiang Shengnan took a deep breath: "Let's get through this weekend first. I can't keep running away. I plan to stop paying their nursing home fees."

"Oh, getting tough now?" Tan You raised an eyebrow. Although she felt that supporting the Jiang family's elderly couple hadn't cost her much money, Jiang Shengnan's continued support for them inevitably made her feel that he was a disappointment.

Jiang Shengnan looked at the billiards ball, and distant memories gradually surfaced in her mind: "I know the teacher thinks I'm not good enough, and now I understand. Why should the money you worked so hard to earn end up benefiting that good-for-nothing Jiang Shengli?"

"If they don't receive proper care after leaving the nursing home, that's their fate. After all, taking care of the elderly isn't just my responsibility."

"To be blunt, I no longer expect their love or remorse. Perhaps only when they are dead can I truly move on."

Tan You didn't say anything. After all, they were Jiang Shengnan's parents. There were some things that Jiang Shengnan could say, but others couldn't.

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, then go ahead and do it."

Jiang Shengnan's eyes reddened: "I know that in this world, only you would stand by my side unconditionally and only favor me."

Jin Jue scored a goal, but when he looked up, he saw that Jiang Shengnan's eyes were red. He put down his cue and strode over, touching Jiang Shengnan's eye socket with his finger: "You cried? What's wrong?"

“It’s nothing,” Jiang Shengnan quickly composed herself, leaning back slightly to avoid Jin Jue’s hand. “Are you still playing? You’ve already lost two rounds.”

Jin Jue shrugged: "I'm not coming anymore. You've been utterly crushing me the whole time. How are you so good at this?"

Jiang Shengnan put down his cue: "When I was looking for part-time jobs before, I worked as a gaming companion. You can't be too bad at the game, but you also have to know how to let the opponent win and how to strike the right balance. It's a bit difficult."

Looking at Jiang Shengnan's current glamorous life, Jin Jue couldn't imagine her past hardships. Because his family was so wealthy, he had basically grown up in a pampered environment since birth, and he couldn't imagine the life of the poor.

Jiang Shengnan had no intention of talking about how hard her past had been, nor did she want to be seen as a pitiful figure by others. Why bother? Only she knew the pain she had endured; no one could truly understand.

"I'm thirsty, I'd like some drinks. Would you like something to drink?" Not wanting to discuss her personal matters, Jiang Shengnan simply chose a generic topic. Since she was repaying Jin Jue's favor today, she naturally wanted to treat him well.

Jin Jue sat down at the bar with her: "I'd like a black coffee."

Jiang Shengnan wrinkled her nose. Perhaps because she had suffered too much in the past, she couldn't bear to hear the word "bitter" anymore. Black coffee—just hearing the name made it sound bitter.

She glanced at the menu: "I'd like a bubble tea, 30% sugar, and hot."

Jin Jue carefully examined her complexion: "Drinking hot milk tea on such a hot day? Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Shengnan rested her chin on her hand, her familiar expression returning: "No, I just suddenly felt that the world was particularly cold, so I drank a cup of hot milk tea to warm myself up."

Jin Jue felt that even though Jiang Shengnan was sitting right next to him, he just couldn't reach her heart. She had locked herself away in her own world, neither coming out nor allowing anyone else to enter.

At this moment, Jin Jue felt extremely frustrated.

Jiang Shengnan didn't care what Jin Jue thought. She felt she had repaid Jin Jue's favor by spending two days at the resort over the weekend. When it was time to part, she left decisively, getting directly into He Jiahui's car and leaving Jin Jue alone at the resort.

Jin Jue was left staring blankly at He Jia Hui's car.

Old Fang sneered, "You've always been the one playing the field, but finally someone's not buying it. Old Jin, you've finally met your match!"

Jin Jue's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "Can't you speak properly? Are we still friends? Are you trying to hurt me like this?"

Old Fang laughed heartily: "Brother, we can't help you either. This Miss Jiang is no ordinary person. Your usual methods won't work."

Jin Jue: "What tricks do I have?"

Old Fang gave him a look: "Yes, you lack the skills; people used to come to you willingly. But Old Jin, think about it yourself, she's talented, beautiful, rich, and famous. What does she want from you?"

"Is it because you're rich? Because you're old? Because you're handsome? Or because you're a player?"

After being stabbed several times by Lao Fang, Jin Jue smiled bitterly: "Am I really that worthless in your eyes?"

“You’re my friend, of course I don’t think you’re despicable.” Old Fang held up one finger: “But I have one point of view: I also have a daughter. How could I let my daughter associate with someone who is so careless about relationships? Even if he is really rich.”

Jin Jue fell silent, unable to describe the feeling in his heart.

Old Fang patted him on the shoulder: "You think that Miss Jiang will take the initiative to get close to you? That's definitely impossible. But you can use your shamelessness. It's always true that even the most virtuous woman can be won over by persistent suitors. If you keep being shameless, you'll eventually get what you want."

Jin Jue laughed and scolded, "Who are you calling shameless?"

Old Fang: "You, all of us brothers, you really have no shame. Yan Yu is just a complete hypocrite. He's having a blast on his own, but he still has to come up with some kind of agreement. He's the epitome of hypocrisy."

"It's still you, true to your word, unlike Yan Yu who's so hypocritical."

Perhaps enlightened by Lao Fang, or perhaps realizing that delay could lead to unforeseen changes, Jin Jue did not linger at the resort but drove back to the city.

After returning to the city, Jiang Shengnan didn't immediately go back to her hometown. Instead, she returned to N City after the summer CPA exams. She drove back alone in her car, but just as she left the city, a car started following her.

Tan You noticed, "Jin Jue is behind us."

"Following me?" Jiang Shengnan said indifferently, "Let him follow me if he wants. I just want to cut ties with them completely right now."
