Chapter 2068: Chapter 2070: Jiang Nuan vs. Fu Yi 71

"..."

Jiang Nuan suddenly lost her composure.

Xu Qingrong saw her utterly surprised reaction and the frustration in her chest suddenly dissipated. She giggled and said, "Seeing this, I feel much better. I was quite depressed after being rejected and humiliated, but knowing the man who rejected me was also rejected by someone else, well, how should I put it, it’s not too bad!"

Jiang Nuan looked at her in astonishment, wondering if her alternating laughter and tears meant she had a mental breakdown?

Xu Qingrong said, "You’re thinking I’ve overreacted to the point of frying my brain."

"..."

Was it that obvious?

Xu Qingrong, "Very obvious! It’s all written on your face."

Jiang Nuan looked at her in shock, smacking her lips, "If I didn’t know your profession, I’d think you were a psychologist."

Xu Qingrong seemed like she could read Jiang Nuan’s mind; without saying a word, she knew everything just by observing her expressions.

Xu Qingrong shrugged, explaining to clear her confusion, "I majored in Neurology in college, minored in Psychology. Back then, my family disapproved of me becoming a doctor, especially a surgeon. In their eyes, surgeons work hard for little pay. Our family doesn’t lack money, so there’s no need to live such a tiring life. A girl should dress beautifully every day and go out for afternoon tea with friends. If she’s bored, she should learn flower arranging and tea ceremony, which not only entertain but also cultivate high tastes. Then, eventually, she should find a husband of equal status and get married. So, when I applied to medical school, there was significant opposition from my family. To smoothly enroll, I lied and said I wanted to be a psychologist. Although psychology doesn’t earn much either, at least I wouldn’t have to see blood every day. They couldn’t argue with me and eventually agreed..."

"Although I didn’t genuinely intend to become a psychologist when I applied, I seriously studied the subject in college."

Jiang Nuan instantly understood.

The implication in Xu Qingrong’s words was that she was practically half a psychologist.

"How much do you know about Fu Yi?" Xu Qingrong posed the question, then immediately answered it herself, "I know him. He was born into a prestigious family, and from a young age, he was the kind of kid everyone else compared theirs to. Intelligence, family background, capability, appearance—he lacks nothing. You could certainly call him the favored child of heaven. A man like him naturally finds it easy to get whatever he wants, so he’s gentle, friendly, and seems good-natured. But this is just because he doesn’t care; many things hardly require his attention, and people are no exception. When he approached me that day and took the time to warn me personally, I realized I had no chance. The Xu family and the Fu family have been connected for decades. Even if the relationship isn’t remarkably strong, they at least entail significant mutual interests. He isn’t the type to let a woman influence the ties between two families. However, he actually repeatedly embarrassed me for your sake, even going so far as to confront me in private to threaten me. Jiang Nuan, he’s genuinely fond of you. You only fear the slightest disturbances when you truly care about someone."

Thinking about how she is legitimately a white, rich beauty, recognized as a socialite in Capital City with many men chasing after her, it was absurd that Fu Yi, fearing she might act irrationally and harm this woman, would honestly believe.

Such an absurd situation, yet a man smart enough to study at Cambridge wholeheartedly believed it!

This is why she lost.

She didn’t lose to Jiang Nuan, nor to herself, but to the man she loved, to love itself.
