Chapter 806: Chapter 648: Lack of Integrity Is a Major Taboo
The cheating ex on the other end of the phone, perhaps hearing the voices from here, started complaining as if he suffered a huge injustice, "Qingqing, listen to me, I really didn’t cheat."
"Get lost!" Li Qing shouted fiercely.
Then she started cussing at him like a machine gun—
"Screw you! Do you think I’m blind?!"
"Put away your shameless skills!"
"You’re the lowest of the low among inferior creatures!"
"Get away from me, you piece of trash!"
The guy might really have something, even after Li Qing berated him, he still managed to reply gently, "Qingqing, why are you still cursing?"
Li Qing continued to yell, "Don’t talk to me, I have mysophobia."
"Now I curse you because you’re not in front of me; if you were, I’d definitely slap you a few times for cheating me!"
"You break up and still ask me to go to a hotel!"
"You idiot!"
"..."
After a burst of anger, Li Qing ran out of words, and finally hung up the phone.
Throughout this whole time, the other party didn’t hang up either, nor did he respond, just quietly listened to her scolding.
For this bit, Jiang Wei finally gave her cheating ex a compliment, "This temper is something else!"
"Right, right, phew—" Li Qing, in high spirits from cursing, thought Jiang Wei was complimenting her, "I haven’t cursed anyone in a long time, did I do okay just now?"
"Not bad." Jiang Wei nonchalantly gave her a thumbs up, "But I was talking about this scumbag’s temper. He’s so enduring; didn’t he provide you with good emotional value during your relationship?"
Li Qing’s excitement instantly vanished, "Pretty good, he was really nice to me, did whatever I asked, often accompanied me when I was in a bad state, took care of me, gave me all sorts of advice. Maybe his overall accumulation was pretty good. I always thought he was quite mature, and being with him brought a sense of security."
So, receiving news out of the blue that he wanted a breakup was quite surprising and challenging to accept.
"What’s the use of high emotional intelligence? Still cheats when it’s time to cheat. Now I understand, in love, you can’t just listen to what they say; you have to see what they do. If their actions aren’t right, no matter how sweet their words, they’re worthless."
"Behavior is the only standard by which a person votes for their life." Ning Youguang interjected.
"Emotionally smart but." Jiang Wei sharply commented, "Lacking integrity."
"Yeah." Li Qing sighed, "A person can lack emotional intelligence but cannot lack integrity. Lacking integrity is a major taboo."
So when she received a friend’s message saying her boyfriend was being lovey-dovey with another girl at Houhai No.6 Bar, she had to immediately go and confront the situation, to truly give up.
Ning Youguang poured some wine into Li Qing’s cup, "Feeling better?"
"A little bit better." Li Qing forced a smile, "But not very comfortable."
She picked up her wine glass and drank half in one gulp.
"Do you want to continue cursing?" Jiang Wei looked at her phone and asked.
"Forget it." Li Qing said, "Cursing is exhausting too."
"Curse while eating pistachios?" Ning Youguang extended his hand to Li Qing, palm holding a small handful of shelled pistachios.
"Thanks." Li Qing smiled and took them, then tossed them into her mouth one by one, crunching down, "Suddenly feels meaningless; I still have to go to work tomorrow."
"That’s how adulthood is." Jiang Wei said, "No matter how shitty the situation is, or how sad you feel, when you think about it, you still have to go to work."
"Suddenly feels like even dating is meaningless." Li Qing rested her chin on the table, "Marriage should be even more meaningless; thinking this way makes life itself feel meaningless."
"Hey, hey, hey." Jiang Wei raised a hand and gently tapped the table, "Don’t be so love-struck."
She advised, "You can’t think life is meaningless just because you lost a scumbag; that’s too narrow-minded, it’s a problem that needs fixing."
Li Qing gave Jiang Wei a thumbs up, "Awake to reality, I respect you!"
"What else?" Jiang Wei said, "I see so many female celebrities experiencing affairs and being cheated on, divorces and being divorced, are they not all living well?"
She said with a breezy attitude, "Honestly, I haven’t seen many women whose relationships go smoothly, with perfect marriages, so your little thing is really not a big deal. I’ve seen more outstanding women who, even when catching their boyfriend sleeping with someone familiar during dating and experiencing broken marriages, their despairing impressions don’t appear on them. Because they’re fine without men, even better. Their capital isn’t just astronomical wealth; more importantly, it’s the deeply ingrained experience and irreplaceable excellence."
"Of course the female celebrities you know aren’t afraid of being cheated on or divorced; each is rich and beautiful." Li Qing retorted, "Once one is gone, there’re lines waiting down the street."
"Rather than saying they got lucky early in life, it’s better to say they won by investing in themselves." Jiang Wei said, "Besides, your cards aren’t bad either. You’re good looking, educated, financially stable, such good conditions, isn’t that enough to enjoy life?"
Li Qing looked at Ning Youguang, "What do you think?"
"I agree with the investment in oneself idea, self-learning and growth are businesses that will never be unprofitable." Ning Youguang said, "But this has nothing to do with whether someone should pursue romance or marriage. I think it’s not important what lifestyle you want to pursue, what’s important is whether this lifestyle gives you a sense of security, satisfaction, and happiness."
"If you only talk about security, satisfaction, and happiness, not getting married might be better." Li Qing said, "Actually, I’ve thought about being Chang’e, having been married, had kids, lost my husband, becoming an immortal with eternal youth, raising a rabbit, raising a frog, raising Wu Gang, it doesn’t matter whether he fixes pipes or not, that’s a goddess’s life!"
Jiang Wei crazily liked this, "A goddess’s life, perfect!"
Taking advantage of being slightly tipsy, the two of them chatted away, making themselves laugh.
Ning Youguang watched them with a pink piglet in her arms from Li Qing’s house, observing their soft smiles.
Laughing, she suddenly found the two who were just giggling, abruptly directing their gaze at her, "Why are you two staring at me like that?"
"Looking at the goddess." Jiang Wei said.
Li Qing casually took a purple tulip from the vase on the table and held it to Ning Youguang’s mouth, "Come on, Goddess, let’s interview you, what do you think is the perfect life?"
