Chapter 1006 - The Importance of Work

Su Xuan was in a bad mood, feeling pretty tired, so he leaned back on the sofa, wanting to sleep, but then Meng Jiayi said something."Su Xuan, the house is such a mess, and it’s really dirty. Someone is coming over today, and I feel so embarrassed."

Su Xuan was really speechless at that point and said,

"What do you do all day? You just play at home all the time. Can’t you even do a bit of housework?"

Actually, Su Xuan was really exhausted by Meng Jiayi’s laziness. No matter what, everyone should have limits. If you’re lazy, you should at least have a limit. But Meng Jiayi was completely lazily outrageous, not working at all, which was fine, but the whole house was like a dog kennel, and she wouldn’t clean it. Su Xuan had to, but he didn’t have the time.

When Su Xuan said that, Meng Jiayi got angry. When the woman got angry, she wouldn’t speak and acted like the plague. At that moment, Su Xuan was really about to explode. This situation had happened way too many times.

"Meng Jiayi, let’s not be together anymore. I really can’t stand you!"

Once Su Xuan said that, he slammed the door and left. What happened afterward, Su Xuan didn’t know, and he didn’t want to know. A year later, they got in touch again through Lotus. By then, Su Xuan had a girlfriend, and Meng Jiayi had a boyfriend. They both moved on from that relationship, and Su Xuan never mentioned it again.

"You, you left me back then because I wasn’t working."

Over the years, what Meng Jiayi wanted to ask the most was why Su Xuan abandoned her.

"Yes, and no. Actually, I hated your way of doing things, always procrastinating, never getting anything done, always acting like everything is naturally owed to you. Over the years, I thought you would realize this, but you are so stubborn. Sister, you really need to change. If you continue like this, you’ll really end up hurting yourself."

Su Xuan said seriously.

"Love is really not what you imagine it to be: all romantic and poetic. Don’t think that everyone owes you. In the world of love, no one owes anyone. It’s all about who cares about who. Think about it, have you succeeded in anything these years? Also, look at the fat on your stomach. How old are you, and you’ve already developed fat? What man wouldn’t be disgusted by that? Don’t blame men for being unfaithful. In today’s society, it’s tough. The reason I wanted you to work back then is that a working woman has a broader network, becomes more confident, and pays more attention to her image, unlike you, rotting away at home. I’m telling you, if you don’t change your mindset, even if you get ten boyfriends, the outcome will be the same!"

Su Xuan said very seriously and, this time, seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, asking urgently.

"How could it be like this? Why has no one told me about this?"

At this moment, he finally realized how serious the matter was. He had always thought his boyfriends were at fault, but now he saw that he was actually at fault.

Actually, just like Su Xuan said, her boyfriend was quite a good person, very diligent, and genuinely wanted a stable life, but there was no way to achieve it.

"I told you four years ago, but you didn’t listen and kept saying I was giving you attitude. Come on, don’t be so willful anymore. I’m telling you, not all men are willing to spend over a year being upset with you. Before you break up completely with this one, change your personality, really."

Su Xuan said earnestly. No matter what, she didn’t want her to repeat the past from four years ago. After all, she was almost thirty. If she continued like this, her whole life would be ruined.

Meng Jiayi didn’t say anything, but her eyes got a bit red. To be honest, after hearing Su Xuan’s words today, he realized he had been wrong all these years. He finally understood why many books always have a phrase: no matter what, a woman must be independent; that’s what life is about.

Actually, this represents not only money but also a kind of cultivation, a spiritual level. A person who stays home for years without engaging with the world is like a parasite.

Men dislike such women not because they don’t earn money, but because of their character, which is frustrating to look at.

"Then, what should I do now?"

Meng Jiayi finally understood the issues Su Xuan mentioned and suddenly felt he had been ridiculously wrong these years. Maybe he had always thought too simply, too self-centered.

"Go find a job, really find a job. Even if you’re a waiter, no one will look down on you for this job. Actually, men want stability just like you women do. From what I can see, that guy probably wants a good life with you."

Su Xuan explained softly, and Meng Jiayi looked at Su Xuan with gratitude and said.

"Thank you, Brother Xuan. You’ll always be my best brother for life. If it weren’t for you, I might never have realized how ridiculously wrong I was."

Looking at Su Xuan, Meng Jiayi’s eyes began to well up. In fact, people are like this sometimes; without a wake-up call, they’d never know how wrong they’ve been. And Meng Jiayi is someone who talks a lot, making it really hard to point these things out. Su Xuan, now educating him as a brother, made it different.

"Well, go now, stop being so willful. You’re not young anymore, life isn’t child’s play. Stop dreaming of romance all the time. I’m telling you, when a man’s financial situation improves, if he cares about you, he will compensate you."

Su Xuan said seriously.

"Okay, I know, Su Xuan, thank you!"

Meng Jiayi said as he got up and ran out. What he most wanted to do now was to find his boyfriend and tell him he was determined to change, because after hearing what Su Xuan said, he finally completely understood just how messed up he was all these years.
