Cui Tong continued, “Let me ask you, why do you want to stay away from old men?”
“Old men?” Xia Xibei’s expression froze.
Qiao Yanjue at this age… He was not an old man… Right?
And Cui Tong seemed to be just two years older than him, right?
Cui Tong crossed her arms, justifying herself, “To you, he is an old man!”
She continued, “How to tell if he’s an ‘old man’? First, he is more than three years older than you. Second, he works and you’re only a junior in high school! Isn’t he old?”
Speaking of this, Cui Tong truly looked distressed.
“I’m telling you, this kind of man is a jaded old man who likes to cheat young girls! If you get cheated, it’s useless to cry!”
The more Cui Tong talked, the more agitated she became.
“I’ve seen this kind of thing a lot! Those girls think that the man is sincere to them, but after a year or two, the man dumps them, and they are devastated! Even if they are not dumped, they are still living a miserable life. They never do anything without the man’s permission, and they’re humbler than a slave….”
Listening to Cui Tong’s rapid words, Xia Xibei didn’t know to laugh or cry.
She didn’t expect Cui Tong to ask so many questions due to this reason.
However, she also felt quite warm.
If she were really a teenager now, maybe Cui Tong’s words would be useless and cause her to rebel instead.
However, she was not a teenager, so she knew that Cui Tong was really pouring her heart out with these words.
Cui Tong thought she was still naive and simple, but she had seen more evil than Cui Tong ever had. It was because Cui Tong had a rich family and was exposed to a lot less malice.
Xia Xibei, however, had seen too much unpleasantness.
So, it was hard to be as worried as Cui Tong.
“When those rich kids talk to you about true love, just yell at them! They lure you with true love for now, but when you have no more use, they just kick you to the curb! You cannot be so stupid. You have a great future; you can not fall into this trap…”
Cui Tong was still talking rapidly.
In her opinion, a girl with a great future like Xia Xibei should break out into the world. How could she be held back by a man?
Xia Xibei was one of the rare people that she liked. She should always be handsome, not wrecked by a man!
“Of course, if a poor guy tells you that he has nothing but a heart that loves you, you tell him to get as far away as he can! If he really loved you, he should have worked hard long ago, trying to give you everything. If you had a cat and a dog, you’d want to give them the best, never mind a person…”
“So what am I supposed to do?” Xia Xibei suddenly asked.
“Enrich yourself, of course! Make yourself better! As long as you have your own capital and are mentally mature, you won’t be afraid, no matter what happens! If a man is no longer good, you can replace him! What are you afraid of?”
Cui Tong was so excited that her face turned red.
“That’s right,” Xia Xibei nodded her head in agreement.
The reason she worked so hard was for the so-called “right match.”
Her idea of a “right match” was that she could be equal to the other person in the relations.h.i.+p and could come and go as she pleased. No matter what happened, she would be able to handle it with ease.
To do this, in addition to enough money, she also needed a strong heart.
She was tough enough inside, all that was missing was enough money.
“But you’re mistaken about one thing.”
Cui Tong, who was very impa.s.sioned, froze.
“What did I get wrong?”
“It’s not that he’s chasing me, it’s that I want to chase him.”
Cui Tong was shocked speechless.
