Chapter 67 - 67: How the Three Views is Formed
Marriage certificate!!!
Xiao Qian’s rationality had been completely obliterated by Yu Minglang.
Seeing his serious face, not seeming at all like he was joking, Xiao Qian finally conceded.
“I was wrong.”
“What did you do wrong?”
“I was wrong to… to let you cling to me…”
Yu Minglang pulled out his cell phone, and Xiao Qian suddenly had a bad premonition.
“Who are you planning to call?”
“My secretary, to tell him to immediately bring me a catalog of diamond rings from abroad.” A proposal wouldn’t be complete without a ring, naturally, he had to give her the best.
“I was wrong in…not being honest.” The last three words, Xiao Qian managed to squeeze out from the gaps between her teeth.
How could she, a woman who’s lived two lifetimes, have met such a tough opponent?
Who did she provoke? Could this be divine punishment for something she did in her past life, like stealing someone’s crop and not raising their child properly, thus being entangled with him in this life?
At this point, Xiao Qian swore to herself that if Yu Minglang ever gave her an opportunity to turn the tables, she would definitely take revenge. She couldn’t let him lead her around by the nose.
Yu Minglang sat back down, tapping on the paper bag filled with evidence of Chen Lin’s infidelity.
“Your ideological awareness is commendable, but you should keep away from Zheng Xu from now on.”
“No, he’s my patient. I must…I must cure him.” This was her bottom line, Xiao Qian would not back down.
Seeing Yu Minglang about to make a call again, Xiao Qian halted him by pressing on his hand.
“Yu Minglang, I want to tell you seriously, being a psychologist is my profession and my career, I won’t give up my career for any family or person. More importantly, you and I haven’t even formed a family yet. If you insist on restricting my work with your narrow-minded male chauvinism, then there’s no possibility for us to continue our relationship.”
The statement sounded serious, but upon reflection, there was still much room for negotiation.
After considering the last sentence carefully, Yu Minglang arrived at a conclusion.
“So you’re saying, to stay acquainted with you, I must agree to let you meet with Zheng Xu?”
Xiao Qian couldn’t say anything, her body’s instinct damned her rationality once again!
“If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as approval — how many times a week do you need to see Zheng Xu?”
“Before I started school, twice a week. After I started school, once every two weeks.”
Yu Minglang was silent for a few seconds, as if he was calculating something. Xiao Qian was sure he wouldn’t agree.
How could a man, who could practically have the word “straight guy” tattooed on his forehead, ever understand her work?
It’s for the best if he didn’t understand, and then the two of them could break up!
“You can meet him, but the timing must be decided by me.”
“What are you up to?” He actually agreed?
His work schedule was not fixed. It was not possible for him to spare time to accompany her every time, so how could he agree?
“Even though I’m busy, I still have friends. It’s okay. Rest assured, I’ll ensure your personal safety.” He may not have the time, but he has a whole group of friends and family!
With his people around, who’s afraid of that little kid Zheng Xu messing with his girl?
“… The one who makes me feel unsafe is you, Yu Minglang. You want to have people follow me, and then let this matter pass? And you’re not going to investigate me for practicing without a psychologist’s license?”
“If you do well, it’s good fortune for that little Zheng Xu. If he dies, it’s his own fault. He’s eager to seek our help, who can he blame? — Oh, right, sign a contract. If it goes well, you should charge more. If it doesn’t go well and he becomes silly, it has nothing to do with us.”
This moral value… Xiao Qian had truly witnessed it.
In her last life, she was too naive. She thought he, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, looked like a decent person, but who could have thought!
This was a man who, as long as his own people don’t suffer and it’s not against the law, has no bottom line! Now he’s like this, how can she despise him?
“Did you charge him?”
“Fifty per hour…”
“That’s too cheap. The kid’s got some money. Add a clause, charge him more if you cure him.” You dare to pester my girl? I’ll bleed you dry!
Xiao Qian felt like she saw a pair of devil’s horns growing out of Yu Minglang’s head. She rubbed her eyes, it was an illusion, it had to be an illusion.
“We have a consensus on this issue. Now let’s discuss the matter of the pictures.”
Apart from her, probably no one else would go to the extent of taking candid photos of their own father.
“I must get my parents divorced.” The photos were one of her means.
“Not acceptable!”
His face hardened, and Xiao Qian looked up defiantly. Was he going to get on his high horse and preach about morality?
If that was the case, they might as well break up — huh, why would she use the term “break up”? When did they start dating? She was really led astray by him.
“The act of using photos for threats is inappropriate!”
Xiao Qian set her face in a stern expression, they had different values and could no longer partner up, she decided to not date him.
But what Yu Minglang said next took Xiao Qian by surprise.
He took out a photo, placed it on the table, and began to list down things point by point.
“The idea of divorce isn’t wrong, but your understanding of the law is weak! Adultery photos must be based on a few preconditions. First, photos of your father with another woman taken in your own home, without being spread, can be used as court evidence. Second, overtly intimate behavior that occurs in public places strips the individuals involved of their ‘private’ label. It is regarded as the individuals voluntarily giving up their privacy, hence, the evidence obtained is more likely to be accepted by the court.”
…Was he seriously teaching her about the law? Is he that desperate for others to know that he has a second master’s degree in law?
“Look at how irresponsible Zheng Xu is. Taking such private photos in someone’s house constitutes an invasion of privacy. Not only will it not be accepted by the judge, you may also be counter-sued for violating others’ privacy. Such unlawful acts can only be done by Zheng Xu.”
Yu Minglang outlined the essence of problem and then, with a severe tone, expressed his biggest dissatisfaction.
“Moreover, why didn’t you come to me for something like this? The first person you think of for help when you encounter a problem is not me? If I were handling this, it would certainly be legal and a lot cleaner than Zheng Xu.” “…Don’t you think it’s wrong for me to target my own father?”
“Special treatment for special circumstances. Siding with the parent who treats you well when your parents have a conflict is not wrong. However, the premise is that it must not violate the law. Look at Zheng Xu, taking these kind of photos, does he want you to be counter-sued for invading others’ privacy?” Nothing felt better than trampling on a romantic rival and displaying his own superiority. Each time Yu Minglang discredited Zheng Xu, it felt all too smooth.
“I wasn’t planning on taking it to court, just to show my mother.”
“Even that’s not right! Chen Xiaoqian, you must always remember, you are a woman of status and reputation, you can’t dirty your hands with anything. Leave any problems to me!”
Xiao Qian, with her high IQ, silently tasted the deep meaning in his words.
Was he telling her that as long as it’s legal, she can do anything? If she doesn’t like someone, she can just mess with them?
Oh my goodness, this latitude, it is simply unbelievable!
“So, Comrade Yu Minglang, how would you handle this situation if it were up to you?”
