Restarting 16 Years Old, the Champion is Tiger and Tea

Chapter 459: The Brain Circuit of a Science and Engineering Man

Tan Mu put down his chopsticks, relaxed his body and leaned back in his chair, tapping the table lightly with his slender fingers.

"First, five years is indeed not a short time, but it doesn't mean you have to spend your whole life to pay for it."

"Second, giving is mutual. The girl gave her best years, but what about the boy? Those five years were also the boy's best years. Giving is mutual, happiness is shared, and losses also occur on both sides."

Wen Xin wanted to laugh when he heard this.

The science and engineering guy's brain circuits require him to answer questions in a logical way.

But it was obvious that Li Zheming accepted this clear way of thinking and asked:

"But isn't this just wasting the girl's time? It feels like I've just messed with her and then abandoned her."

Tan Mu shook his head repeatedly.

"This is how you should think about it. The boy is faced with two choices: one is to suppress his unhappiness and marry the girl. The other is to cut his losses in time and end the relationship."

"Let's analyze these two options again."

"The first is to force a marriage. If you are not happy when you should be the happiest, the chances of you becoming a couple with resentment in the future are very high."

"These two people will either be tied together for the rest of their lives, and it will be a mess, and the man will not be worthy of the woman just because of the marriage."

"Or they can get divorced after many years. By then, the woman will be remarried at an older age and may even have children. The man will not only let down the woman, but also the child."

"The second option is to cut losses now. The girl is still unmarried and not too old. This way, the sunk costs for both parties are minimal."

"Of course, the premise of this decision is that the relationship has really reached a point where you have no confidence that you can live well after marriage."

"In fact, the discussion of this issue is based on the fact that the relationship between the two sides has become difficult to move forward. You must be clear about this."

Wen Xin nodded frequently after listening to Tan Mu's lengthy speech.

"Very good, a rational analysis from both sides' perspectives, very objective."

"Zheming, you still need to think carefully about how far you and Wu Jing have come. Remember, between husband and wife, small differences can be reconciled, but major differences in world views must be treated with caution."

Li Zheming nodded and sighed softly.

"In fact, compared to Wu Jing, I am more concerned about her parents. I have been to her home, and her father was very arrogant, saying that our family is not worthy of theirs."

"I know my dad has problems, but if you don't accept it, just reject it directly. There's no need to keep trying to enlighten me with a contemptuous attitude. It's very disrespectful."

"Many of her mother's views have had a great influence on Wu Jing, to the point that now Wu Jing always addresses my mother when she speaks."

"Her mother said that Wu Jing was raised by her, and I have to do the housework after marriage. I often do housework now, but I don't think it is the responsibility of one party. Shouldn't the husband and wife be considerate of each other?"

Wen Xin nodded in understanding:

"I understand. Didn't her mother also say that all wages must be paid? Where a man's money is, there is his heart."

Li Zheming raised his head in surprise:

"Aunt, you are amazing. How come even the wording is exactly the same?"

"I have no objection to two people putting their money together and giving their all to the family. But I think both parties should be open and free, and have discussions, rather than one party controlling everything."

Wen Xin sighed and nodded.

Zheming really has a positive outlook on life. It would be a pity if Wu Jing missed such a good boy.

"In fact, your biggest conflict is about the house. What do you think?"

Li Zheming's eyes became clearer.

"This is indeed the biggest obstacle. My two-bedroom apartment is actually quite large, more than 90 square meters, so I can change it to a three-bedroom apartment."

"But Wu Jing's family firmly disagreed and insisted on buying a new name, saying it was a guarantee for Wu Jing."

"To be honest, aunt, I didn't earn all of this myself, so I can't get more than I want. Especially after seeing what Grandpa did today, I don't want to disturb my family any more."

Li Zheming spoke quietly, and his thoughts seemed to become clearer and clearer.

He recounted the pain he had endured over the past year, saying that his heart was growing colder and that the gap between him and Wu Jing was growing deeper.

Until last summer, when the topic of adding the name on the property was brought up, it almost became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Aunt, when I saw Grandpa today, everything became clear to me all of a sudden."

"You see, even after we left, my mom was still there talking to grandpa and grandma. Even though there was a nanny, I could always see how much my mom was doing."

"I immediately thought of Wu Jing. She used to be a very cute and simple girl. She was also considerate and caring, and she was not pretentious. But in the past year or so, she has changed a lot.

"She even said she would buy a three-bedroom house and let her parents come live with her in the future. She would not live with her in-laws."

"I was very disappointed to hear this. I support her filial piety to her parents, but why should she be treated differently?"

"She said that my parents didn't give birth to her and raise her, so she has no obligation to support them. But it's the same thing. His parents didn't give birth to me and raise me, so why should they live with me?"

Wen Xin looked at Li Zheming, whose expression became increasingly cold, and felt deep sympathy in his heart.

The most beautiful and pure relationship has now turned into all scheming and calculations. Who wouldn't be heartbroken?

"Whenever we have a disagreement, Wu Jing says I'm stingy. I sometimes doubt myself. But then I suddenly figured it out. I'm just stingy and I hate being disrespected."

After Li Zheming finished speaking, Tan Mu poured him a glass of juice and motioned for him to drink some to calm down.

The dinner table fell silent for a moment.

A waiter came over and bowed politely to ask.

"Hello, three customers. Is today's meal to your liking?"

The three people nodded in unison.

The food at Yunzhongji has always been fine except that it is expensive.

"Then could you please give us a review on Zhongzhongdianping? We are holding an event and can give you a free mango juice."

Li Zheming saw the pair of big eyes staring at him eagerly, and knew that it was because he was young that it would be easier for him to operate.

"Okay, I'll do it."

Li Zheming took out his mobile phone, opened the APP and started the operation.

Taking simple pictures and making comments are things that he, a writer, is very familiar with.

In addition, after I had my heart out today, I seem to be in a much better mood, and my writing is even more eloquent.

The waiter was so happy that he ran off to get the mango juice.

After a while, the waiter came over with a young woman in her twenties.

After watching the waiter put down the mango juice, the young woman bowed to the three people and turned her gaze to Li Zheming.

"Excuse me, sir, did you write this review?"

Li Zheming glanced at her phone and nodded: "I wrote it."

"Sir, your writing is really great. This text is exactly what we need and is especially in line with our propaganda tone."

"Would you be interested in writing a few tweets for us? We would pay you handsomely."

Li Zheming was a little surprised. He had never encountered such a situation before.

"A large reward? How much?"

The young woman blinked and thought for a moment: "One thousand yuan per hundred words, how about that?"
