Chapter 1217: Performance Art Reimagined! Classics Recited Forever! (Day 89, Sunday/Saturday, Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

Guan Peng was speechless after He Chen's words of comfort, and could only continue to pour wine into his mouth.

Because he was indeed planning to propose to Charlene.

If Xia Lin agrees and they actually get married, then they'll truly become like Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang.

After all, Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang were a real couple.

As he gulped down a mouthful of wine, self-deprecatingly remarking that He Chen was right and that he should be glad he hadn't become Xia Lin's husband, He Chen corrected him: "My point isn't about the marital relationship or the boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but rather the most classic and widely circulated story of conspiring with a lover to poison one's husband!"

"Impossible!" Guan Peng spat out the beer in his mouth, utterly disbelieving that Xia Lin could do such a thing.

This is too exaggerated!

The reason he vehemently denounced Xia Lin as Pan Jinlian was simply because he thought she was lewd, not because she was capable of being so poisonous!
And things are different now than before.

"Before I told you, you really thought she went to her classmate's house to sew clothes!" He Chen gave him a knowing look, leaving Guan Peng speechless.

"Also, don't look at the story of Pan Jinlian poisoning Ximen Qing with old eyes. Water Margin is a classic masterpiece!"

The value of classic works only increases with time.

Because these are the most authentic human stories that have ever happened.

Human nature, however, develops the slowest, and can even be said to be completely stagnant.

That's why there's the famous saying, "There's nothing new under the sun!"
You think Pan Jinlian poisoning Wu Dalang is an isolated case!
What they didn't know was that while this might have been an isolated case in ancient times, it was definitely not an isolated case in modern times, either domestically or internationally!
Rather, it's the sheer number of isolated cases that warrant our attention!

"Impossible, right?" Guan Peng stared at He Chen in disbelief. It was even more unacceptable to him than when He Chen told him that his girlfriend had cheated on him with Lu Tao.

After all, he could sense the changes in his girlfriend to some extent.

But what He Chen said was too sensational and absurd.

"It's possible, entirely possible!" He Chen reminded him, "If you're living a good life, you'll find the legendary Black Widows of Pingcheng!"
She specifically marries men, then poisons or gas-fumes her husbands, or makes the 'husbands' kill each other to reap the wealth.

In America, in the movie Gone Girl, wasn't the female lead a woman who manipulated men from a young age, and later schemed against her husband, wanting him to be arrested after his death?

In reality, there are many people online who openly teach how to buy slow-acting poisons, feed them to their husbands, discuss and optimize the poisoning methods, and provide a one-stop service to get rid of their husbands safely. They also claim to be able to replicate this method in batches, build a career, and achieve great success!

Of course, those are just people abroad; we definitely don't have anyone like that in our country! (Suddenly speaking loudly)

"..." Guan Peng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. The alcohol he had just drunk had sobered him up considerably.

Although He Chen said that, he didn't believe for a second that this was a phenomenon only found abroad.

He's not stupid; he's heard the phrase "far ahead domestically" before!
Looking back now, he might actually be grateful to Charlene for not marrying him...

If she really had that certificate, just the fact that she could rob him by brandishing it and sweep away all the wealth he had worked so hard for over the years, and then go and have fun with that little bastard Lu Tao, would be enough to make his blood pressure spike.

If they were to poison him with evidence, steal his wealth, send him away, and collect his insurance money, he would truly die with regrets!
Even if Xia Lin doesn't do anything, what if her father does... Guan Peng became more and more frightened as he thought about it, and he was already sweating profusely.

Because he knew at least that Xia Lin's father wasn't a decent person either, at least not in the ordinary sense. He wasn't very capable, and he was always thinking about starting a business and making a lot of money.

What if the father and daughter team up to do business, and they treat him as their business, and afterwards she, on behalf of his death, chooses to forgive him... Damn it!
The more I think about it, the more I get scared!
Once you get a marriage certificate and show it, it's truly terrifying!

"You're all sweaty, bro!" He Chen patted his shoulder with a smile. "Thinking about it, Xia Lin has actually been pretty good to you."

I didn't accept your marriage proposal, and I didn't give you the Black Widow package.

They didn't give you a full package of sexual assault and domestic violence, they just cheated on you and planned to break up with you 'peacefully.' Now you've taken revenge and beaten up those two scumbags. What more do you want?

"..." Guan Peng remained speechless.

Although it seems to make sense, it just sounds so awkward.

And on what grounds?

Why should he have to suffer like this? The key is that when he thinks about the possibility of suffering these things, he only feels fear and has no sense of security whatsoever.

These are nothing new, so why does he still feel no sense of security?
Why are these bad people and evildoers still able to so brazenly intimidate us, and even dare to harm us, after their evil deeds have been exposed?

Why? !
Although Guan Peng was still feeling stuffy, he did feel much better. He continued drinking for a while before He Chen stopped him, saying that it was enough, and then they parted ways and left.

He said he couldn't drink and drive, so He Chen offered to walk with him. He then took a lock from the trunk of his car and locked it to a shared bicycle parked by the roadside.

"What are you doing? Locking a shared bike is immoral!" Guan Peng, an honest man with sound values, immediately tried to dissuade He Chen.

"Good, good, good! You've got it! Congratulations!" He Chen nodded in approval, unlocked the lock he had just put on, then took the lock, patted the bewildered Guan Peng on the shoulder, and left, leaving Guan Peng with only a silhouette of He Chen's back, as if a righteous light were shining on it.

Guan Peng was stunned for a few seconds, but quickly realized what He Chen meant, and his lips twitched.

He Chen stopped paying attention to Guan Peng. He had already figured it out. If he still couldn't put his knowledge into practice, then he wouldn't deserve so much sympathy if he fell into the same trap again.

As for He Chen saying that, wouldn't it be too hurtful to him?
Or perhaps it hurt Charlene too much?

He Chen said that he had already been very considerate of Guan Peng's feelings.

If he were to actually tell Guan Peng everything, he would reveal an even more painful truth.

That is, in the original plot, Xia Lin would rather work as a hostess in a club and be taken advantage of by all kinds of fat old men than marry Guan Peng obediently and become a clean and respectable Mrs. Guan, who is pampered by Guan Peng!

That was the fatal blow!
This comparison is like stomping Guan Peng's face into a cesspool.

In this respect, Xia Lin is also a shadow of Lin Xian'er from Little Li Flying Dagger, that is, in order to maximize her self-worth, she does not mind mixing with men at all. Anyone is fine, but A Fei is not!
Guan Peng is A Fei!
Fortunately, Guan Peng wasn't as cowardly as A Fei, and he went to sleep when he needed to.

So as long as you adjust your mindset and don't give your heart away before you understand what Xia Lin really is, Guan Peng won't lose anything. Just consider it as paying to enjoy his girlfriend's services.

Thinking about it that way, it's no wonder Lu Tao was so agitated, as if he had instantly become the one who was cheated on after his first affair!
Good guy!
It turns out Lu Tao wasn't crazy; he just understood things too well!
He assumed that Guan Peng thought that way, that he was spending money to enjoy himself, so he felt that he was the one who was cuckolded.

Whoever falls in love, whoever cares, loses!

That's absolutely true!
