Become a stepmother and save the male protagonist of the painful literary school

But all of her accusations were based on the fact that she had been forced into marriage and used as a sacrifice for the aristocratic family's mutual benefit. Even if he explained it clearly, how innocent could he be?

It is destined to be unclear.

But he still didn't want her to continue to misunderstand him. This feeling of injustice was very uncomfortable. "I admit that I doubted you, but since I married you, I have never had any transactions with the Jian family. It's normal for you not to believe me, but I really didn't intend to hurt you."

"Although the marriage between you and me was not what you wanted, and the original purpose was for profit. But you have been sincere to Tong Huaimu since entering the Tong family, and I also want to treat you with the same sincerity."

"You questioned me the other day, and I admitted that I believed in love, but reality still chose interests."

"So you think I'm hypocritical."

Tong Ruixiao leaned against the head of the bed and expressed his thoughts.

"But my answer has a basis, which is that I didn't love anyone when I chose to marry into the Jane family. There was no other emotional option for me to choose."

"So I think I should start from the established fact, that is, 'I have married you', so my choice is outright profit."

"I thought about it for a long time afterwards. If I had loved someone else at the time, I would not have chosen the marriage."

Jian Yan also propped himself up and sat up, with a mocking smile on his face, "No?"

People who are only interested in profit would like to take all the benefits in the world. How could they miss this opportunity to increase the value of their family?

"Which marriage between aristocratic families is not glamorous on the surface, but each party plays its own game behind the scenes? Not interfering with each other is the basic principle."

"Even if you have a lover, you can arrange a marriage. It's just that she will be wronged and won't have a legitimate identity. When the time comes, you can bring the mistress into your home. What can the marriage partner do to you? It's nothing more than arranging a place for the male mistress to live nearby."

Her tone was full of sneer, "Mr. Tong, I'm not a three-year-old child."

Don't be fooled by a few sweet words.

The second half of the sentence was too sharp. She was used to giving the other party some face when speaking, so she didn't say the most extreme words.

"Some people have messy private lives and can do such things. But I am not that kind of person and I will not do such things as promiscuous relationships."

Every word he said was extremely serious, without any deception.

He had only one wife, and no other relationships. Physical contact without emotional basis is no different from that of animals.

Jian Yan simply raised the corners of his mouth coldly, without a smile in his eyes, and said nothing.

Si Yanchen taught her: If a woman believes what a man says, her sorrow will begin.

"I don't know what you think of me, but I won't get married when I already have a loved one. The benefits are far less important than the lover. And I will not have a mistress during the marriage. This is unreasonable and illogical."

Her tone was so dark that it was hard to tell whether it was a mockery or sarcasm. "Why not?"

He looked at her profile, half of which was in silver light and the other half in shadow, as if it had been cut abruptly by the moonlight, with a lingering sense of unreality.

Suddenly, a doubt arose in her heart. Why did he have to prove himself endlessly? If a person did not trust himself, no matter how much he said, she would not believe it.

Why do you care so much about a woman like this?

Why is it her?

Hiding his helplessness, he explained seriously:

"Logically, if someone can give up his lover and choose to marry, then the person he is marrying must be of great significance to me. I can't risk being discovered and ruining my plans by keeping a mistress."

"From a sentimental point of view, no one can bear the shame of letting their lover become a mistress."

"If one can make another person a concubine to appease oneself and allow oneself to benefit from the marriage first, then this means that one has absolutely no love for her and does not care about her at all. It is so humiliating to let one's lover become a concubine!"

"'Love' that obliterates the other person's personality and dignity is just a fig leaf for using others to satisfy one's own selfish desires."

She turned her head, met his gaze, and vaguely saw another face.

That person once said to her: Yanyan, I am going to get engaged to the Wang family. You know I have to do this for the company's funds. I only have you in my heart, and you are always my favorite! For the next two years, you have been wronged to stay with me without a name or status. I will divorce her when the company's turnover is normal. I love you.

A sour feeling suddenly surged in my nose.

There was a layer of sorrowful tears in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth, "Everyone knows this truth, and it sounds equally good when you say it."

She sneered, "Personality? Self-esteem?"

"When it comes to profit, can't the personality and dignity of others be trampled under your feet at any time and used as a stepping stone to climb to the top?"

Retracting his gaze, "You tried your best to help others reach their aspirations, but they killed you first. Where can you cry?"

Tong Ruixiao was silent. She was hurt too deeply and it was too difficult for her to accept his approach.

When defense becomes her basic survival skill, his attempt to make her let down her guard is like a bayonet that puts her in danger and only increases her resistance.

It was his eagerness to prove that he had done nothing harmful to her that backfired.

"Mr. Tong, since you have chosen interests, don't expect to use emotions anymore. It is better to be pure in life."

Her tears had already disappeared, and her eyes were as sharp as arrows. "Mixing these two together will only make you look extremely hypocritical."

Tong Ruixiao's expression did not change, his eyes were extremely calm. He opened his thin lips slightly, and every word he said was like pearls falling to the ground.

"Miss Jane, are you truly a pure 'feelings person' or 'interest person'?"

“What is the boundary between purity and impurity?”

“Is it a legal aspect or a practical aspect?”

"The law only stipulates that certain actions cannot be taken, but it does not stipulate that people cannot weigh the pros and cons in the face of emotions."

"The reality is more complicated. A gentleman on the surface may be a beast on the inside. A person who says 'I can give up everything for love' on the surface may say 'Only a fool would do this' on the inside. How do you define these?"

The woman's tone was calm, but her expression became colder: "I am a person who is purely emotional. My standard is 'I love him with all my heart, and only love him, without any interest mixed in during the love.' Is this not enough?"

Hearing her say "I love him with all my heart" so firmly, Tong Ruixiao felt as if his heart was pierced by a needle. A trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and his emotions were hidden in the shadow of his long eyelashes.

He said calmly, "This is just from your perspective, not the other person's."

"Like I said I have no ill will towards you, do you believe it?"

Jian Yan chuckled and refused to answer, "Mr. Tong is joking."

"Look, you don't believe it."

He looked at the moon outside the window, his tone light and gentle.
