Chapter 384 What is Sincerity
Thinking of Qiu Bi's pitiful appearance, Zhuang Wei felt confused.
"Seems... afraid?"
"I don't know what she is afraid of. Is it because I am ugly?"
Zhuang Rui shook his head and gave a serious evaluation.
"Brother has a dignified appearance, as elegant as a cold orchid, and as deep as the vast ocean. He has nothing to do with the word ugly."
He was blunt and to the point.
"The real ugliness lies in one's actions, not one's appearance."
Zhuang Wei flatly denied it.
"She wouldn't let me touch her at all, and there was nothing I could do."
Zhuang Rui remained calm and refuted with reason and evidence.
"First, he used the name of a confidant to lure her into the trap; second, he used the two people from the Qiu family to trick her into signing the slave contract; third, he threatened the Feng couple to force them to complete the plan."
"Brother, there are three things you can do. What is doing nothing?"
Zhuang Wei stared with wide eyes, his face pale with shock.
"How do you know so much?"
Zhuang Rui answered as a matter of course.
"With a little clue, you can predict everything."
Zhuang Wei was shocked and angry, and threw several heavy punches on the car seat.
"I was so busy protecting my father and the others that I neglected you two!"
Zhuang Rui felt sorry for his carriage and hurriedly reached out to stop it.
"Brother, please show mercy. My carriage cannot withstand your punches..."
When stopped, he made up an excuse.
"Brother, don't get me wrong. My third sister and I have no ill intentions. It's only natural for us to worry about your safety when we're traveling."
Zhuang Wei was filled with shame and indignation, and felt that all his prestige had been lost.
"You are paying attention to my privacy. Where do you think my dignity is?"
Zhuang Rui smiled and advised.
"Don't be upset, big brother. Third sister also wanted to find out what happened to me back then. We are all concerned."
Zhuang Wei was so angry that he couldn't breathe and made loud accusations.
"You are meddling in other people's business, offending your brother, and showing no respect at all!"
He thought about it for a moment, realized something else, and then asked.
"Does my brother-in-law also know everything?"
Zhuang Rui waved his hands repeatedly.
"I didn't say anything."
Zhuang Wei understood what he meant and couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Zhuang Xianhui!"
Zhuang Rui felt uneasy and pleaded for his sister.
"There should be no secrets between husband and wife. This is what my eldest brother taught me. My third sister did the right thing."
Afraid that he might vent his anger on his sister, he sternly reminded her and got back to the point.
"Brother, don't be perfunctory about your words."
Zhuang Wei put away his anger, and during the conversation, he began to realize his mistake.
"I don't mean to be perfunctory."
"Then tell me, if it were you, what would you do?"
Zhuang Rui smiled awkwardly and narrated the story with emotion.
"I am telling you the truth, please don't laugh at me, brother."
"Before, I mistakenly thought that Lan'er was obsessed with Ouyang Chi, so I was angry and designed a prank. Big brother is right. It is indeed difficult to swallow anger and stick to the right path in front of the person you love. However, no matter how you play a prank on me, I will not tarnish my purity. Even later, when we were in the same room, she took the initiative to mention it and asked me to try..."
Having said this, he couldn't help but smile sweetly as he recalled the good things.
"She took the initiative to unbutton her clothes to show her affection to me. I could even control my temper and close her clothes when I saw the embroidery on her blouse."
Zhuang Wei was puzzled.
"You have never been bound by any constraints, so why are you bound by the difference between men and women?"
Zhuang Rui spoke freely and answered sincerely.
"If it was any other woman, I would have no scruples. Even if I wasn't attracted to her, I would still have some fun with her. But facing her, even if I couldn't suppress my feelings, I still couldn't let her go."
Zhuang Wei felt like he was falling into a sea of clouds, with a look of confusion on his face.
“Why do you feel reluctant?”
Whenever he mentioned Lan'er, Zhuang Rui's eyes would become gentle for a moment, and the sweetness on the corners of his mouth could not help but be revealed.
"The reasons are extremely complex and too numerous to mention."
"I was worried and couldn't bear the pain, for fear that she would be frightened and terrified."
"The second dilemma is that if I am mediocre, I am afraid that it will spoil her mood; but if I indulge in fun, I am afraid that I will bully and humiliate her."
"Third, think ahead. Everything has its contingencies. If I cannot marry her in the future, and I act on impulse, won't that ruin her life?"
"Thinking like this, there is still a lot, hesitating, just for her to be happy and worry-free."
Zhuang Wei seemed to be completely clueless.
"Who taught you this? Why have I never heard of this?"
Zhuang Rui smiled.
"No one taught me, it's all true feelings. When you meet a girl you really like, you will know what I mean."
Zhuang Wei asked without knowing why.
"If you meet someone who is sincere, will you naturally be able to treat them with respect?"
Zhuang Rui nodded.
"Yes."
Zhuang Wei felt a little confused.
"Don't you feel tired if you don't endure it?"
Zhuang Rui's eyes were firm.
“It may be difficult, but I will never look back.”
"If she doesn't like it, even if we get married, I can give up and never offend her for the rest of my life."
Zhuang Wei was stunned and couldn't understand.
"what?"
At this time, Lu Geng raised his voice and reported respectfully.
"Young Master, Young Master, we have arrived at the main gate of Bingqing Garden."
Zhuang Rui responded.
"it is good."
Lu Geng understood, opened the double doors of the carriage, and set up the wooden steps.
Zhuang Rui suggested with a smile.
"The hosts of Bingqingyuan range from noble ladies to common girls. I have already reserved two seats. Please go in and take a look. If you meet a true girl, you can marry her directly. My father and mother will be very happy and will welcome her from afar."
Zhuang Wei watched from afar, sneered, and thought he saw through the essence of the matter.
"This kind of woman who is there for others to enjoy, all she wants is gold, silver and jewelry, how can she be sincere?"
Zhuang Rui's expression is like the bright and peaceful spring.
"Then why don't you send them gifts and just leave them a message? If they reply, does that prove your sincerity?"
Zhuang Wei glanced at him with disdain, not even looking at him, and it was obvious that he had no interest in him at all.
"Seeing that it was a message from the young master of the Zhuang family, they rushed to reply and curry favor without spending a fortune. That's pointless."
Zhuang Rui gave suggestions.
"You can use a pseudonym when watching the live broadcast. King Di Jin calls it an online name. Bingqingyuan is different from Yirenqingcheng, so we don't need to register our real names. As long as we keep our mouths shut, who would know that we are from the Zhuang Mansion?"
Zhuang Wei's eyes were filled with pride and he looked down on everyone.
"If you don't send a gift, no one will respond. It's all for a bite of food, who would want to do such a useless thing?"
"In that case, we'll just be watching for nothing, and it's pointless."
Zhuang Rui couldn't control his temper and showed a bit of impatience.
"If you spend lavishly on gifts, you say it's not sincere; if you don't give gifts, you're timid, fearing that you won't be sincerely received."
"If you don't dare to try, then you deserve to be single!"
Zhuang Wei glared at him fiercely.
"Don't provoke me with words."
Zhuang Rui's thoughts raced and he immediately came up with an idea.
"How about this, let's have a competition. I won't reveal my identity, and I won't send any gifts. I'll leave a message to all the women. The one who gets the most replies will treat me to a meal. If neither of you responds, I lose."
"Is this interesting?"
After hearing this, Zhuang Wei finally showed a hint of interest.
"Okay, let's try it."
"Since you don't believe me, I will prove it with facts. This kind of woman doesn't deserve true love at all."
