Chapter 674: Brainwashing

Guan Tang looked at Zhuang Ning eagerly.

Zhuang Ning looked at a loss as she gently tapped the cup in front of her.

Guan Tan became happier when she saw this. She sighed and said with a pained expression, “How pitiful. Have you decided to give up?”

Zhuang Ning smiled bitterly. “What else can I do? I can’t possibly be his secret lover, right? I’m not that lowly.”

Guan Tang asked, “How can you give up so easily?”

Zhuang Ning looked at Guan Tang in surprise.

Guan Tang continued to say solemnly, “Zhuang Ning, you’re different from all the celebrities I’ve met. You’ve shown me what love should be like. How can you compromise? People say that love is selfish. Look at you. How can you give up your love for someone else?”

Zhuang Ning seemed taken aback by Guan Tang’s passionate speech. She looked at Guan Tang in a daze as she said, “How can I compete when I’m just a small celebrity?”

Guan Tang frowned. “What do you mean by small celebrity? Zhuang Ning, you’re very popular now, okay? Why do you look down on yourself? If you look down on yourself, who’s going to care about you?”

When Guan Tang saw that Zhuang Ning was listening to her attentively, she thought that it was about time to strike. She said slowly and calmly, “Zhuang Ning, you have to bravely pursue your love! Even if they’re about to get married, don’t give up on the happiness that’s supposed to be yours. Moreover, the person Ye Cheng really likes is you!”

Zhuang Ning raised her head to look at Guan Tang and asked, “Really?”

Guan Tang smiled warmly. “Of course, it’s true! The gaze of a person in love can’t be faked. When Ye Cheng looked at you, I could tell that he really likes you.”

Zhuang Ning’s expression seemed to ease as she muttered, “Really? If it’s true, then he…”

Guan Tang patted the table lightly and interjected, “You’re too muddle-headed.”

Zhuang Ning looked at Guan Tang in confusion as Guan Tang said solemnly, “Zhuang Ning, what’s Ye Cheng’s status? He’s the only heir in his family. I heard from him that his father is struggling to manage the family business alone. He feels guilty that he’s able to live the life he wants while his dad is struggling. Hence, when his father proposed a business marriage, apart from agreeing to it, what else could he have done? You have to think from his perspective as well.”

Zhuang Ning nodded slightly, but she still looked slightly uncertain. “How do you know that? Did he tell you?”

Guan Tang’s beautiful eyes flashed briefly before she said, “No, I heard this while he was chatting with my uncle and the others. I’m very certain about my analysis of him. He’s someone who values friendship and loyalty. Moreover, his EQ is very high as well. How can someone like him agree to a business marriage for no reason? He must have his difficulties so you have to understand him. Both of you are in a loving relationship so you shouldn’t let secular matters affect you.”

Seeing that Zhuang Ning was thinking about her words, Guan Tang continued to persuade Zhuang Ning earnestly. “Life is short. It’s not easy to meet someone who treats you sincerely. If you give up, you’ll regret this in the future. Listen to me. Don’t give up. I support you. I’ll always support you!”

Zhuang Ning seemed to finally regain her senses. She asked, “Why are you helping me? Shouldn’t you be on Miss Yin’s side?”

Guan Tang smiled bitterly before she said, “I stand on the side of reason, not my family. Moreover, it’s my family’s fault, to begin with. Why should you be the one to bear the consequences? However, you’ve asked the right question. Indeed, I do have selfish motives. I don’t want Yin Jia to be happy. After all, she stole my boyfriend and caused his death. I hate her so I won’t let her be happy. She doesn’t deserve to be happy!”
