Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list novel Chapter 453

Chapter 453: Auntie, please let me explain, we are studying!

Study?

This reason was perfectly fine.

Two university students in a room, apart from studying, what else could they do?

For instance, what else could two actors do in a room, aside from discussing a script?

One does what one’s identity suggests.

Students would definitely be studying, right?

Luofeng glanced at Bai Ningbing, whose face was flushed. He walked out of the bedroom first and saw Tangya in the living room.

"Auntie, you got off work so early today?" Luofeng said.

"Our company just finalized the contract with yours. They’ll be attending your company’s celebration banquet and will probably be drinking, so I came back early!" Tangya replied.

Luofeng chuckled to himself. This Tangya is quite self-aware.

Actually, Luofeng had misjudged her; he had assumed Tangya couldn’t hold her liquor, but that wasn’t the case.

If I weren’t reluctant to use my ’cheats,’ how could such thoughts truly be hidden from me? But is it really interesting to see right through someone? When first getting to know someone, using my abilities to quickly build rapport was sufficient. There was no need to delve deeper into their every thought.

"By the way, Auntie, while Ningbing and I were out shopping today, I casually bought a gift for you. It’s a thank-you gift for securing such favorable terms for Jiamei!" Luofeng said.

This sort of excuse might work on Bai Ningbing. But on Tangya? Wasn’t that a bit too transparent? After all, Jiamei holds the purse strings, and banks are the flatterers, right?

Actually, Luofeng was just giving Tangya a plausible reason for the gift so she wouldn’t accidentally say the wrong thing in front of Bai Ningbing.

Tangya didn’t point it out. "What gift?"

Luofeng picked up the shopping bag from the sofa and took out both the dark brown and light brown bags.

"This patchwork messenger bag looks very vibrant. It’s perfect for you, Auntie!" Luofeng discreetly complimented Tangya on her youthfulness.

Tangya smiled at Luofeng; she understood his implication.

Just then, Bai Ningbing came out. Her complexion had returned to its usual fairness, though a slight flush remained on her neck.

"Mom, we also bought you a scarf. Take a look, do you like it?" Bai Ningbing said, taking out four scarves for her mother to choose from.

Tangya, aware of the price of an LV scarf, once again inwardly marveled at how well Luofeng treated Bai Ningbing. But why include a gift for her as well? This was still a crucial question.

"Auntie, Ningbing, I need to leave now. My dad messaged me; I have to attend the celebration banquet at Jiamei!" Luofeng stood up and put his phone in his pocket.

His dad intended for him to take over the company in the future, so these activities were necessary.

Tangya nodded. "Alright then. I heard Hengda Real Estate will also be at the party. You should hurry over. You’re the star of the show today!"

Bai Ningbing added, "By the way, Luofeng, I’m going shopping with Li Fei’er and the others tomorrow!"

"Do you need me to come with you?" Luofeng asked.

"The point is, I *don’t* need you to come with me!" Bai Ningbing said. "They’re all still single, and they specifically told me not to bring you!"

"That’s harsh!" Luofeng pretended to be dissatisfied.

It’s a good opportunity to visit Little Fairy tomorrow, anyway.

Luofeng left Bai Ningbing’s house and headed for Jiamei Construction Company.

At Bai Ningbing’s house, after Luofeng had left, Tangya tried on the LV scarf and asked, "How much of his money did you spend this time?"

Tangya looked at her daughter, a slight headache forming. Bai Ningbing’s understanding of money... it seems a bit fuzzy, doesn’t it?

Upon hearing this, Tangya countered, "But giving gifts isn’t the same as taking care of you when you’re sick!"

"Let’s ignore for a moment whether Luofeng would actually be able to take care of me if I were sick," Bai Ningbing said. "Bringing medicine to a sick person—isn’t that fundamentally an act of kindness?"

"Of course, it is!"

"And shopping and giving gifts—isn’t that also an act of kindness?" Bai Ningbing pressed. "You might argue that giving gifts isn’t necessarily being kind, but taking care of someone when they’re sick isn’t always purely altruistic either. What if the sick person is your superior?"

Tangya couldn’t refute that point. If it wasn’t out of kindness, why would he be willing to spend so much money on her?

"So, there is no fundamental difference," Bai Ningbing concluded. "Both are ways of being kind. It’s just that more people can manage to bring medicine to the sick, and this act gains general approval, so people think this method is ’right.’ But because many people can’t express affection through money, do they then consider it ’wrong’?"

Tangya was silent. She had been convinced by Bai Ningbing’s argument.

Because looking beyond appearances to the essence, what Bai Ningbing said truly hit the nail on the head.

For instance, liking someone because they’re handsome? Or liking someone because they’re wealthy.

Essentially, it’s because such men are rare, right? After all, handsome guys are few and far between. Wealthy men are scarce too.

But why is liking someone because they’re handsome considered love, yet liking someone for their wealth gets you mocked?

Then you’ll definitely say, if the wealthy person suddenly lost their money, would you still like them?

And what if a handsome guy suddenly got disfigured? Would you still like him? *That* would be true love, then.

The correct viewpoint is that whether you like someone for their looks or their good family background, it’s your free choice.

But apart from being handsome, if that person has no other redeeming qualities, shouldn’t you think twice?

And apart from being wealthy, if that person is a jerk, would you still marry him?
