Chapter 309 So he's a simp
"Zhouzhou, come with me somewhere!"
Han Junhe had drunk a little too much tonight, and her fair face was flushed with a light blush. Her already flamboyant red dress made her look alluring at this moment.
Jiang Zhouzhou glanced at Gu Nanfeng, who was standing not far away, and then left with Han Yunhe.
The Han family's manor was very large. After leaving the main banquet hall and walking around the long corridor, the noise gradually subsided, leaving only the chirping of insects hidden among the flowers and plants.
The evening dew was heavy, and Jiang Zhouzhou silently followed behind Han Yunhe as they arrived at an art studio.
The spacious room was filled with the smell of paint, and finished paintings were piled up on the walls and in the corners.
On the canvas in the very center, there is a half-finished painting.
"This is my studio."
Han Yunhe said calmly, "However... I don't like drawing."
Jiang Zhouzhou turned to look at her, her eyes flashing with surprise and curiosity.
She had assumed Han Junhe liked painting...
Han Yunhe continued, "In my father's eyes, his daughter doesn't need to be outstanding or dazzling. She just needs to grow up happily and then find a husband who is her equal when she reaches the right age."
He said... daughters are meant to enjoy life, and everything at home can be left to the men.
This is the education she received from childhood to adulthood.
When she was little, she naively thought that this was her father's love for her.
When she saw her younger brother being scolded for making a mistake, she even felt smug about her father's favoritism towards her.
After all, she had never been scolded by her father...
Compared to her mother, she liked her father more when she was little.
But when she saw her father looking worried about the company, she thoughtfully said, "When I grow up, I'll join the company and help Dad relieve some of his burden."
I thought I would receive praise as before, but...
What she saw was a gloomy and indifferent face.
"Xiaohe is a daughter, so she doesn't need to think about so many things. Her father and younger brother are the pillars of the family."
These were words she had heard hundreds of times, words she had once thought were her father's love for her, but this time they sounded particularly jarring.
She is no longer a child, and she can no longer be easily fooled like before.
She gleaned a message from it...
This house belongs to her younger brother, not her.
The younger brother is scolded for making mistakes because his father has high hopes for him and will correct him promptly when he makes a mistake.
And she doesn't need to do anything...
She was resentful of being "favored" all along. What if she was more outstanding than her brother?
So Han Yunhe was filled with resentment and wanted to prove herself quickly...
But when she presented her even better grades to her father, she still received the same response: "Girls don't need to work hard, you just need to be happy."
She tentatively mentioned that she wanted to study economics and management, but her father gently stroked her head and said to her, "It will be very hard. Girls are better off studying music, art, and dance. Dad doesn't want you to be too tired in the future."
Even now, he still plays the role of a loving father.
But when she was about to apply to a top university with the highest score in the entire school, her good father sent her abroad instead.
The reason is simple.
“Your art teacher says you have a greater talent for drawing. Dad doesn’t want you to bury your talent.”
Talent my foot! Nobody has ever said she has any talent.
He was simply afraid that his own excellence would overshadow his son's achievements, so he couldn't wait to drive her away.
They only allowed her to return when a marriage alliance was necessary.
Han Junhe calmly recounted her story, then looked at Jiang Zhouzhou: "Isn't that very unfair?"
Jiang Zhouzhou nodded and said with deep feeling, "There are many unfair things in this world."
Han Junhe smiled and said, "I originally agreed to this marriage because I wanted to use Gu Nanfeng's influence to fight for what I wanted, but he had no intention of marrying me, so our marriage turned into a cooperation."
At this point, her smile became tinged with self-deprecation.
“He likes you, so I think it would be better if I explained things to you in person if you have any misunderstandings about what happened tonight.”
Jiang Zhouzhou quickly waved her hand, "Don't worry, I didn't misunderstand, but... does Sister Xiaohe really not like drawing?"
She tilted her head, her clear eyes looking at Han Junhe.
Han Yunhe's smile froze almost imperceptibly. "I don't like it, but over the years... only painting can bring me peace of mind."
She had too much resentment and wanted to prove herself, but she was suppressed and had no way to vent it.
So paintbrushes and paints became her tools for venting her emotions, and the works she created were just a pile of garbage.
But to her surprise... someone would actually spend money to buy a piece of junk.
Perhaps because she had drunk a little too much tonight, Han Yunhe couldn't help but talk more.
"Sometimes I envy men because they can easily get more things just by having one more thing. But we have to put in many times more effort to get equal treatment..."
"So Zhouzhou...we must never think of depending on others, especially a man."
"When he likes you, he'll be willing to do anything for you, but what will he do when that liking fades away?"
Only you yourself will never betray yourself.
Although Gu Nanfeng is now completely sincere towards her, a man's sincerity is the cheapest thing.
Han Yunhe felt that rather than being lifted up by others, she should make her own wings stronger.
Then... even without those supporting hands, I can fly even higher.
Jiang Zhouzhou's eyes sparkled as she listened to Han Yunhe's words.
Han Junhe smiled and said, "Many people like to look at women with prejudiced eyes, even if they are women themselves."
"Just like today, when you and Gu Nanfeng came to this banquet together, people only thought that Gu Nanfeng was rich and powerful, and that his female companions were beautiful, but they didn't think that you were even more impressive, that you were able to date Gu Nanfeng, who is not interested in women."
"That's prejudice."
Jiang Zhouzhou was caught off guard and embarrassed. She explained, "I'm not with Brother Nanfeng."
Now it was Han Yunhe's turn to be stunned...
Not together?
Why did Gu Nanfeng have to give so much even though they weren't together?
Co-authored…
Gu Nanfeng is a simp!
This discovery made Han Yunhe burst out laughing.
She's just a simp, so there's no need for her to say anything more.
Han Junhe's laughter grew louder and louder. "That's right, Zhouzhou should keep him hanging on like this. Don't let him get together with you so easily. After all, the easier it is for them to get something, the less they will cherish it."
Jiang Zhouzhou: "..."
