When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1124 Shengnan 56
Jin Jue lowered his voice: "Is the saying 'deeply affectionate and sincere,' or 'the thread of love,' true?"

“I’ve already said it’s just a legend, we need to be scientific.” Jiang Shengnan’s brow twitched: “President Jin, you grew up with materialistic ideas, you wouldn’t believe such a vague rumor, would you?”

“I can’t help but have my doubts,” Jin Jue said, spreading his hands. “Yan Yu was tortured like that before, and Sara completely cut off all feelings overnight. It’s normal for me to have my doubts.”

"Couldn't it be that Yan Yu is getting his comeuppance for doing too many despicable things?" Jiang Shengnan's smile remained unchanged: "What I hate most is his hypocrisy. If you're just going to play along, then play along. Why do you have to come up with some kind of agreement? Who are you trying to disgust? He's the epitome of hypocrisy."

"As for Sara's severing ties, couldn't it be because Sara saw through the true colors of that scumbag and completely escaped this quagmire?"

"And Sara isn't heartless; we get along very well as friends."

Jin Jue knew that Jiang Shengnan disliked Yan Yu, or rather, she loathed him. But when she heard Jiang Shengnan say it was all just an act, Jin Jue's back stiffened involuntarily.

Old Fang made a good point: Yan Yu signing agreements with his female companions was a classic case of feigned propriety. But Yan Yu, genuinely open about smoking, drinking, and women, was a true playboy.

He asked very carefully, "Can you accept that the other person was just playing around in the past?"

Jiang Shengnan immediately understood Jin Jue's meaning. She glanced at Jin Jue, but Jin Jue was always good at hiding his emotions, so she couldn't figure it out.

“I wouldn’t say I accept it,” Jiang Shengnan pondered for a moment. “That’s someone else’s life, and it has nothing to do with me. But comparatively speaking, I still prefer to be consistent inside and out, at least to be genuine enough.”

Jin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, but then he realized he was standing on ruins and couldn't laugh anymore. How had he ended up being compared to Yan Yu?

Moreover, he felt uneasy whenever Jiang Shengnan said it had nothing to do with her.

But no matter what, at least I got a positive review that was consistent inside and out, which should be considered... a good thing, right?

Jin Jue wasn't sure, but that didn't stop him from comforting himself like that. Otherwise, how could he possibly keep going with Jiang Shengnan's stubbornness?

A hint of a smile flickered in Jiang Shengnan's eyes. Although she couldn't bring herself to ponder these things, she understood Jin Jue's intentions. But understanding was one thing; she wouldn't respond now, and would leave everything to time.

Jin Jue is very meticulous when he really wants to take care of someone. For example, as soon as he arrived at the neighborhood, his assistant delivered his usual perfume.

Jiang Shengnan accepted the perfume and thanked Jin Jue earnestly: "Thank you very much, and thank you Assistant Wen as well."

Assistant Wen, keeping his eyes downcast and focused on his own thoughts, said, "Miss Jiang, you're too kind. I was just following Mr. Jin's instructions."

Watching Jiang Shengnan walk into the elevator with a hand full of Chinese medicine and a hand full of perfume, her steps filled with joy, Jin Jue clenched his fingers, thinking to himself that Jiang Shengnan was indeed heartless.

But ironically, this heartless person was the one he chose, and he had no choice but to accept it.

If the perfume really works on Jiang Shengnan, Jin Jue will be happy to see it. If it doesn't work, Jin Jue slowly curls the corners of his lips, which will confirm his guess and he will finally feel needed.

Thinking of the scene that afternoon when he had pulled Jiang Shengnan into his arms, Jin Jue felt his blood boil. Ever since he had developed feelings for Jiang Shengnan, no one else had been by his side.

But thinking about his past life, Jin Jue felt a bit lost. Now he was in ruins, even if there was nowhere left to collapse, he still had to find a way to settle all his past romantic entanglements. Luckily, he hadn't had a child, had never been married, and was still relatively wealthy…

After washing up, Jiang Shengnan knelt on the bed and almost reverently held the bottle of perfume. She sprayed it into the air twice, and after smelling a woody scent, Jiang Shengnan frowned slightly, feeling that the scent was a bit strong.

Tan You usually likes to use sachets or perfumes, but she never uses perfume. After Jiang Shengnan returned, he gradually adopted Tan You's habit, and the sachets he used had a very light and lingering fragrance.

Without thinking much, she lay down like a good girl, pulling the blanket up to her chin. The woody scent seemed to gradually fade, but no matter how hard Jiang Shengnan tried to fall asleep, she couldn't.

It seems like something is missing.

After tossing and turning until 2 a.m., Jiang Shengnan finally thought of asking for help from outside the classroom: "Teacher, I can't sleep, what should I do?"

"How about you do something really drastic? Make me pass out?"

“What a terrible idea,” Tan You appeared on the chaise lounge beside the large bed. “Want to know why you have insomnia?”

“I know,” Jiang Shengnan rolled around on the bed, “Although I’ve been drinking Chinese medicine and using perfume, I know that I can only fall asleep when I’m with Jin Jue. I really don’t want to admit it, but it’s true.”

Tan You was a little surprised, but then she laughed. She didn't expect Jiang Shengnan to have noticed this fact. So Jiang Shengnan understands her quite well.

She smiled and said, "What are you planning to do? The Chinese medicine that Old Zheng prescribed for you is very effective and can regulate your Qi and blood. But insomnia can't be cured by just drinking Chinese medicine. If you can't sleep well, all your efforts will be in vain."

Jiang Shengnan scratched her head, turning her smooth, long curly hair into a bird's nest: "I don't know. Jin Jue is the kind of person who always takes advantage of others. I don't even want to think about what he would do if he knew that I can't sleep without him."

"Isn't there any other way? Desensitization therapy? If I see him more often and grow to dislike him, will I stop feeling this way in the future? Like how I feel about Lao Jiang and his wife?"

Tan You just smiled and didn't say anything. Jiang Shengnan knew from her expression that what she said was nonsense.

She lay sprawled on the large bed, limbs outstretched: "How could I be so unlucky? Someone like Jin Jue, who's not only rich but also decent-looking, actually became my baby? Where can I complain to him?"

"If I had known that I would faint in front of him after going to N City, I would never have gone to N City."

“I feel extremely disgusted by his past; I simply cannot accept it.”

Tan You listened quietly as Jiang Shengnan poured out her grievances. Jiang Shengnan continued, "He associates closely with someone like Yan Yu, so his moral standards are just so-so..."

Jiang Shengnan now truly regrets her actions. She wanted to completely sever ties with her family of origin, but instead, she ended up in this terrible state and developed a problem where she couldn't sleep without Jin Jue. If only she had spent money to support the Jiang couple, things wouldn't be any worse than they are now.

After listening to her finish speaking, Tan You finally asked, "You really have absolutely no feelings for Jin Jue?"

Jiang Shengnan calmed down and after a long while said, "I can lie to others, but I can't lie to myself. He is indeed different from others in my life, but I can't accept this fact. How could I have such a dependence on a pile of ruins?"

"And teacher, don't you often say that we can trust you, but we shouldn't rely on you? Now I'm quite confused, and I feel like I'm a failure."
