He Kao had no choice but to nod and say, "Yes."

Wei Luo: "Your friend, Xiaopang, he also knows that your aunt and uncle won't acknowledge this debt, so he didn't even bother to look for them, right?"

He Kao: "Right."

Wei Luo: "The correct approach... well, you can't really use 'correct', it's more like the normal approach. After discovering this issue, you should have first informed Xiaoshan's parents.

And Xiaoshan's parents would unlikely pay this money obediently."

He Kao: "Yes, they would definitely try everything to make Xiaoshan evade that debt, not only would they call the police, but also tell the debt collectors—'if you've got the guts, then sue!'"

Wei Luo: "Are you sure?"

He Kao: "I'm certain."

Wei Luo: "Not talking about character issues, that's the normal way to handle it; your and Xiaopang's approach is not normal."

He Kao felt a little secretly alarmed and asked again, "Could Xiaopang have been wrong?"

Wei Luo: "Such debts shouldn't be repaid honestly in the first place, but those lenders are hard to deal with. Xiaopang wanted to protect your sister's reputation while also avoiding her being scolded by the family, so he chose the simplest way, he just paid off the debts for her directly.

He didn't even tell your sister. He simply wanted to help her, yet you think he has ulterior motives towards her?"

He Kao: "This… I didn't think of it that way. But it's obvious, he does have some feelings for Xiaoshan."

Wei Luo: "If it were you who was in debt, do you think Xiaopang would do the same thing?"

He Kao pondered, "I think he would."

Wei Luo: "So does he have feelings for you too?"

He Kao was stumped, not knowing how to respond. Wei Luo continued, "Having feelings for your sister is one thing, but doing this is another.

It's not like your sister asked him to do it, nor did he ask anything from her. The fact that he didn't tell your sister afterwards is indeed a bit strange but not wrong... you're actually the one with the problem."

He Kao: "How am I the problem?"

Wei Luo: "If Xiaopang hadn't helped Xiaoshan repay the debt but had directly told her parents, then the issue was that Xiaoshan fell into a predatory lending trap. They are the victims, without moral pressure, and they could solve it through legal means.

Even if Xiaopang paid the debt for her, it's still a private matter between him and Xiaoshan, without making a fuss. From a legal perspective, Xiaoshan doesn't actually owe him money, and Xiaopang was prepared for the loss.

But what did you do? You let Xiaopang's mother go to your aunt, ostensibly not collecting the debt, but in reality turning Xiaopang into the debt holder. As long as your aunt's family doesn't repay, they have to bear the moral pressure. Would they want that?

Xiaopang originally wanted to protect your sister's reputation and avoid her being scolded by the family, but you messed it up, ruining everything!

You wanted to use this to teach your aunt's family a lesson because you don't like them, right?"

He Kao was sweating, unable to respond to that, thinking how blunt this girl was.

Only to hear Wei Luo continue, "Selfless helper Xiaopang returns home to be scolded, while Xiaoshan, the victim of predatory lending, goes home to be scolded. But you won't get scolded because no one will scold you, right?"

That remark was harsh, almost breaking He Kao's defenses, making him mutter, "But this incident can't just be ignored as if it didn't happen, not saying anything isn't helpful to Xiaoshan, nor fair to Xiaopang."

Wei Luo chuckled softly, and He Kao asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Wei Luo laughed, "You're even sweating, be careful driving! I only said you messed up, not that you did something wrong. Since you're asking me, I'm telling you what I can see—where your problems lie."

He Kao: "Actually, I want to ask, now that things are like this, what should I do?"

Wei Luo: "Have you gone to school?"

This question was strange, He Kao replied, "Of course I have."

Wei Luo: "Have you studied mathematics?"

He Kao: "How could I not have, my major even has quite high math requirements."

Wei Luo: "Then you should have long known that not all problems have correct answers. The first lesson of sorcery is to understand that not all problems can be solved, which means not all wishes can be fulfilled.

This is a proven conclusion, the incompleteness theorem, you should know that, right?"

He Kao: "I've studied it."

Wei Luo: "If you've studied it, then you should understand. Not to mention other things, just talking about the sorcerer's practice, who doesn't want entry-level or to break the gate and improve? But some people, at some times, just can't take another step forward.

Now that things are at this point, there isn't a perfect solution, someone always has to pay the price.

Either Xiaopang bears it silently, or Xiaoshan goes home to be scolded... You need to figure out what you think before you can understand what they're thinking."

He Kao hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Thank you for the advice!"

Wei Luo: "I'm not giving advice, I'm just saying what I can see."

He Kao: "What else can you see?"

Wei Luo: "What I just said, it's abnormal!

Your friend Xiaopang didn't even ask your sister; he just paid off the 150,000 debt for her without planning to tell her, waiting for you to mention it; this isn't normal!

You can check again, whether he didn't actually spend that money but instead relied on some connection, knew someone, or held some leverage against them, and helped them solve something, to get the IOU back.

Actually, there's no need to check. Even if that's the case, it's his own skill, helping your sister sort out the trouble."

He Kao couldn't help but feel a little cold sweat, quickly saying, "Then I won't check."

Wei Luo turned her head again and asked, "Do you now wonder whether your aunt and cousin can accept the lesson you want to give them?"

He Kao nodded, "What do you think?"

Wei Luo: "I don't know her, how could I know? But you can see one thing, whether Xiaoshan's 20,000 yuan can be kept."

He Kao: "The 20,000 yuan she saved up?"

Wei Luo: "Yes, that's what you just told me. Xiaoshan said she saved 20,000, which could be repaid to Xiaopang first, asking you not to tell her parents, but you said it anyway.

If your aunt seizes the opportunity to take this 20,000, it shows she hasn't learned the lesson, and you can't change her through this incident."

He Kao: "But I didn't mention this 20,000 yuan thing to Mrs. Chen, how would Aunt know?"

Wei Luo: "Xiaoshan will tell her herself."

He Kao: "Xiaoshan worked hard to save it up, she wouldn't be that foolish, right?"

Wei Luo: "It's come to this, do you still think she's smart? Now, just watch and see if your aunt takes the money, no matter under what name."

He Kao: "I need to remind her, don't tell Aunt."

Wei Luo: "It's already too late for that!

If that's the case and you still have to deal with her in the future, you need to be clear about who you're dealing with, know what she'll do, and not expect her to act according to your wishes."

He Kao: "Why do you sound so old-fashioned?"

Wei Luo playfully smiled, "You noticed that? Because these are words from my master, I'm imitating the old man."

He Kao: "If Aunt really takes it, I still want to try and get it back for Xiaoshan."

Wei Luo: "Then go try, hopefully you'll succeed, even if you don't, it's still an experience."

He Kao: "What else did your master say? Teach me another sentence!"

Wei Luo imitated Old Man Jiang's expression and tone, "If it's not a transaction, don't talk about transactions. But there's a kind of person who puts everything on the shelf yet doesn't accept fair transactions."

Have to admit, she imitated him really well.

He Kao finally sent Wei Luo to the airport, and since there wasn't anything particularly delicious here, he just found a place to order two `half tendon, half meat` noodle combos, both of which Wei Luo ate.

After Wei Luo went through the security gate, He Kao sent a message to Old Man Jiang, "Your precious disciple is flying back to Han Ning today, I just saw her through security."

Then he drove straight to Pugang Town.

What Wei Luo said today was different from what Gao Xue'e said the other day. She didn't tell him what to do, but simply analyzed the situation, focusing on why He Kao would do what he did.

However, He Kao couldn't help but feel a bit lightheaded when he thought about it, quickly realizing that what influenced him was his own heart demon. He had unintentionally grown something from a trivial matter.

This heart demon led him to make a mistake that he would almost never make otherwise.

This mistake could expose Hidden Moth's secret.

This mistake could expose Hidden Moth's secret.

Can't deny it; she almost broke him.

This mistake might end up costing He Kao dearly.
