Chapter 1330 Xia Lin's Sorrow, Cheng Feng's Excitement! (Day 2 of Saturday, please vote!)

"Let's support this family together!"

Charlene pretended to be angry and said, "Don't always treat me like a pretty face. If I only wanted to enjoy wealth and luxury with you, I could live in a mansion and drive a luxury car right now without you having to work hard!"

But I don't want to!
What I want is a home that we can build together!

That's what I want!

"I know, I know," Lu Tao agreed verbally, but his eyes darted around, clearly not taking it seriously.

This really angered Charlene, but there was nothing she could do.

Because she didn't want to delve too deeply into such matters.

This wasn't the first time she'd said something like that; she said it every time they argued.

However, after getting to know He Chen and witnessing his sharp wit, she stopped saying those words. But when He Chen was ostracized from her circle of friends, she started saying them again.

She knew she couldn't let He Chen hear these words, otherwise it would definitely draw his analysis and ridicule.

She even knew that although Lu Tao seemed indifferent and nonchalant, he was actually quite shrewd and had a sharp eye for seeing through things.

For example, an analysis of the nature of her work.

For example, he's nonchalant, doesn't take things seriously, continues to "strive," insists on relying on himself to let her enjoy wealth and luxury, and doesn't take her words seriously at all.

Subconsciously, she felt she shouldn't delve too deeply into it, but she didn't think about it further.

If He Chen were to analyze it, it would be that saying something doesn't mean you can do it.

This is a common situation. After dating for many years or being married for many years, girlfriends or wives will often complain that they would have had a better choice if they hadn't been with their boyfriends or husbands.

But most of this is just wishful thinking.

Her current boyfriend or husband was the best choice she could make given the overall factors of wealth, love, and so on; there was simply no better option.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have made that choice.

It’s so realistic!

The same applies to Charlene.

She always liked to say that she chose Lu Tao simply because of love, nothing else. She didn't even want him to make more money; on the contrary, she wanted to work hard to support him. It seemed that she was with him because of true love, not because of money. Otherwise, she wouldn't need to wait for him to succeed; she could be living a wealthy life now.

That's complete nonsense!

What she means by living a life of luxury right now is simply becoming a mistress or making quick and easy money.

But is this kind of money so easy to earn?

How long can this false wealth last?

But her choice of Lu Tao was completely different.

Not to mention his billionaire father, just the fact that he was Lu Tao's adoptive father was enough for her to choose him.

All the initial efforts were actually investments, aimed at cultivating Lu Tao's habits, which meant putting her in charge and letting her take the lead.

After all, she had repeatedly emphasized to Lu Tao that she didn't like him spending money on her, as it seemed like he was keeping her as a mistress and humiliating her. She wanted to spend money on him and completely control his life.

This shows she loves him, not that she's using PUA to manipulate and control him.

When he was penniless, the cost of cultivating habits was low. Once successful, Lu Tao, relying on his father's hard work, could easily control the expanding wealth.

This is true female empowerment!

It's more inspiring and exciting than Lu Tao's story of a woman's struggle who relies solely on her father!

Unfortunately, although Lu Tao wasn't as sharp, straightforward, and serious as He Chen, directly pointing out this, he was still very shrewd. As if sensing this, he always disregarded her requests, refused her marriage proposal, and refused to accept her money for marriage. He continued to be a 'straight man' who insisted on earning his own money and spending it on her, instead of handing over all his money and letting her manage the household and spend it.

This left her feeling helpless!
Why can't Lu Tao be as 'romantic' as Xiang Nan in this respect? Fortunately, Lu Tao is now both stimulated and striving, and it's the most difficult kind of striving, which gives her a good opportunity to cultivate his habits again.

If this doesn't work out, and her position in the family remains uncertain, then she'll have to consider whether she should stay with him.

Otherwise, no matter how rich he is, if he doesn't let her be in charge, what's the point for her?
It would be better to choose a wealthy old man who knows how to care for people. A self-made millionaire, who only talks about money and not feelings, can at least get half of the money, even if he is cunning. At least he can get a tenth of the money immediately, unlike Lu Tao who had to go through years of testing by his father and only truly inherit billions of dollars after his father died.

Charlene's worries vanished in an instant.

Because she has even more worries.

Ultimately, it all comes down to money!
Her boyfriend, Lu Tao, can't even afford the rent right now, so she has to pay it. She's happy to do so, but she doesn't have much money herself.

She was a new salesperson at a small advertising company, with a base salary of only a few dollars, the majority of her income coming from sales commissions.

But she hasn't really opened for business yet.

So my income is very low, and after covering the rent, I can barely afford to eat.

She also has other expenses.

Expenses on clothes, shoes, cosmetics, etc., can be saved, but they can't be without. In the past, her boyfriend subsidized these expenses, so she didn't have to worry about it at all.

But with her current salary, she can't afford a T-shirt or shoes that her ex-boyfriend gave her in a month.

Even if you try to save money, most of your salary will still go to this.

That's one and a half months' salary.

And then there's her gambling father. Although he seems to be selling pet fish, she has to secretly slip him a few hundred yuan every month when she visits him to help him out.

There are too many other useless petty-bourgeois consumptions to count.

For example, she and Yang Xiaoyun, one with little money and the other a miser, often went to practice Taekwondo.

Various miscellaneous expenses amount to at least 2.5 times the salary!

How can we balance the budget like this?

She had earned a sum of money at the club and saved it. She even gave it to Lu Tao when she proposed to him, asking him to use it to marry her.

But it wasn't much, just tens of thousands of yuan. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to give it to Lu Tao. If he really made hundreds of thousands in a short period of time, it would be hard to say.

With the current situation where I'm owing a month and a half's salary for every net expenditure each month, these tens of thousands of yuan simply won't last me six months.

Sorrow!

Sadly, she can't talk about this with her boyfriend, not even a little bit, otherwise her overly sensitive and fragile boyfriend might go crazy again.

make money!

You still have to work hard to earn money yourself!
It's both pressure and motivation. I need to seize this rare opportunity to prove myself and train Lu Tao.

Even in her sorrow, Charlene secretly encouraged herself, determined to fight on!
And it's not even a woman's kind of struggle!
Ok.

Although she couldn't stand He Chen's hurtful words, she had to admit that after hearing his theories about "Dad, the CEO, Falls in Love with Me" and "Women's Struggle," she also felt disdain for the idea of ​​women's struggle.

At the very least, she doesn't want everyone to know that this theory is her way of showing female struggle.

She absolutely did not want to experience the kind of female struggle where Xiang Nan publicly criticized and belittled Lu Tao for relying on his father.

Xia Lin has her sights set on Lu Tao, the ambitious prince, and aspires to become the powerful leading lady in charge of the household. Of course, she will not accept Cheng Feng's advances.

This caused Cheng Feng to try different methods, but all his efforts were in vain, and he suffered a great setback. Of course, he would not give up, because He Chen was waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Moreover, to put it in that clichéd, melodramatic yet undeniably true way in this melodramatic world, Charlene's words are: "Woman, you have successfully captured my attention!"

If Cheng Feng initially made a bet to prove himself, he became genuinely motivated as time went on and he faced setbacks.
