Chapter 525: What Qualifications Does He Have to Disdain Me with These Conditions?

~7 min read 1,292 words

Du Xiaojuan saw Zhao Xinyi's attitude change, and was immediately delighted:

"Fine, fine, then I'll find a chance to mention it to Xiao Hua later."

Deep down, Du Xiaojuan still really wanted to make this marriage match happen.

Although Zhao Xinyi looked down on Wang Xiaohua a bit, her abilities were beyond reproach—smart and capable, with a pretty good temper too; she was definitely the virtuous wife and good mother type.

It was just that her standards were a bit high, and her mindset hadn't fully straightened out yet.

Du Xiaojuan couldn't help but worry a little about this.

But now wasn't the time to say it to her; after all, getting her to lower her stance was already no easy feat.

After resting a while at the hotel, they all went together to Tsinghua University's cafeteria for dinner.

This time Wang Xiaohua didn't take everyone to Zijin Garden Restaurant, but to Zhilan Garden Restaurant instead, because Zhilan Garden Restaurant was closer to the Chemical Engineering Laboratory and the Battery Safety Laboratory. Wang Xiaohua planned to go find Wan Zhiyuan at the laboratory after dinner; Wan Zhiyuan said he had made a significant discovery in his experiment today and wanted to discuss it with Wang Xiaohua, and Wang Xiaohua told him he'd go over after finishing dinner.

This time, since it was mealtime, many students were coming and going in the cafeteria.

Wang Xiaohua first found seats for Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan, then he and Du Xiaojuan went together to get food for the two elders.

Zhao Xinyi said she wanted to use the toilet, and walked away.

Taking the opportunity of getting food, Du Xiaojuan sounded Wang Xiaohua out.

"Xiao Hua, what do you think of this girl Xinyi?"

Du Xiaojuan's sudden question made Wang Xiaohua stunned for a moment.

Then Wang Xiaohua politely responded:

"She's quite good, very beautiful, and also very gentle."

Hearing Wang Xiaohua evaluate Zhao Xinyi this way, Du Xiaojuan thought there was a chance, so she hurriedly said:

"Then if you and Xinyi were to date, would you be willing?"

Wang Xiaohua immediately laughed and cried, but he didn't hem and haw; instead, he gave a clear answer:

"Not willing."

Du Xiaojuan was immediately surprised.

She had never expected Wang Xiaohua's answer to be so blunt, so she hurriedly asked:

"Why?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"We're not the same kind of people; we wouldn't get along."

Du Xiaojuan was depressed:

"You haven't even gotten along with Xinyi, how do you know you're not the same kind of people?"

Wang Xiaohua didn't want to speak ill of Zhao Xinyi, so he politely said:

"My intuition tells me, my intuition also tells me that Sister Xinyi looks down on me; besides, I only want to focus all my energy on studying now, and don't want to date."

Wang Xiaohua had already made his words very clear, but Du Xiaojuan was still a bit unwilling to give up, and continued to persuade:

"Actually studying and dating don't conflict, right? Your classmate surnamed Wei—isn't he dating too? Didn't see it delay his studies."

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Wei Qian's girlfriend is also from Tsinghua, and even from the same college; they can attend classes together, study together, do experiments together, and progress together, so naturally it won't delay their studies. If it were a long-distance relationship, do you think it would delay his studies? Let alone a long-distance relationship with few shared interests and few common topics."

Hearing this, Du Xiaojuan had to admit Wang Xiaohua made a lot of sense.

If he and Zhao Xinyi got together, it would be a long long-distance relationship.

Zhao Xinyi couldn't possibly put down her career and come to Beijing to accompany Wang Xiaohua, and Wang Xiaohua couldn't possibly put down his studies and go to Guangzhou to accompany Zhao Xinyi.

Just then, Wang Xiaohua said another sentence:

"Zhao Xinyi must have been frustrated on Wen Lingyun's side, that's why you're telling me these things."

Du Xiaojuan's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but show surprise on her face.

Only then did she discover that Wang Xiaohua had long seen through everything.

Actually, the various reasons mentioned above were more like excuses.

The most important reason was that Wang Xiaohua didn't like Zhao Xinyi's mindset of riding a donkey while looking for a horse. Since Zhao Xinyi originally didn't have much good impression of him, and he likewise didn't have much good impression of Zhao Xinyi, they naturally couldn't be together.

Could he really choose to be with her just because she was a bit prettier?

If so, then this love wouldn't be sacred, but rather seem cheap.

"You misunderstand Xinyi. Xinyi went to Wen Lingyun's home today, and was actually quite happy." Du Xiaojuan could only speak well of Zhao Xinyi, even telling some kind lies for her: "Actually it was I who actively persuaded her to date you; don't think too poorly of her, she's actually still quite a good person."

Wang Xiaohua kept a polite smile:

"Eldest Sister-in-law, I appreciate your kindness, but Zhao Xinyi and I are truly not suitable."

Du Xiaojuan sighed:

"Fine then..."

In the blink of an eye, the several people finished eating at Zhilan Garden Restaurant; Wang Xiaohua hastily said goodbye to everyone and rushed to the Battery Safety Laboratory.

Du Xiaojuan and Zhao Xinyi accompanied Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan, wandering around the Tsinghua Campus.

After getting tired from walking around, they returned to the Xijiao Hotel.

Back at the hotel, Du Xiaojuan and Zhao Xinyi were alone in a room; Zhao Xinyi hurriedly asked Du Xiaojuan what Wang Xiaohua's attitude was.

Du Xiaojuan smiled bitterly:

"Xinyi, I'm telling you the truth, don't take it to heart—Xiao Hua doesn't think highly of you."

Zhao Xinyi's heart immediately trembled violently.

She had originally thought that even if she couldn't snag an excellent man like Wen Lingyun, at least she could snag a man like Wang Xiaohua whose height and looks weren't great.

But she discovered that Wang Xiaohua simply didn't think highly of her at all!

Heh heh, she had originally thought about giving him a chance to pursue her!

Wrong — initially her mindset was to grant Xiao Hua the opportunity to pursue her!

With an air of condescension, with a haughty posture.

"Heh, he looks down on me, but I look down on him too!"

Zhao Xinyi couldn't help getting angry; the words she spoke carried some sharpness.

"Since you all look down on each other, all that can be said is that you have no fate."

Du Xiaojuan's gaze toward Zhao Xinyi carried some sympathy and pity.

As fellow women, she could feel that Zhao Xinyi's inner heart was already wounded.

Zhao Xinyi, however, felt indignant:

"I really don't understand — Xiao Hua is so short and so ugly, what right does he have to dislike me? Although I'm not from Tsinghua University or Peking University, I'm still an undergraduate, and I'm not bad-looking either; what right does he have, with his conditions, to dislike me? Sister Juan, judge for me!"

Zhao Xinyi's mindset was a bit shattered.

Du Xiaojuan smiled wryly and comforted her:

"Xinyi, you should still settle your mindset. There are beauties everywhere under heaven; with your looks, finding a handsome school heartthrob is still quite easy. As for someone like Xiao Hua, he may be destined not to be in the same world as you — others may be more actively pursuing inner spiritual qualities."

Although Du Xiaojuan had already explained the principle clearly.

And Zhao Xinyi also agreed with her viewpoint.

But for some reason, Zhao Xinyi still couldn't control herself from being very angry.

Why?

By what right did Xiao Hua dislike her?!

Truly detestable!!
