Chapter 2023: Useless effort

Hearing Chen Duoduo ask this, Gu Qiuyi asked curiously: "Why? Is there anything special about this charity fund?"

"Of course there is." Chen Duoduo said with a smile: "This fund is specifically for rescuing Chinese orphans in North America, solving their daily life needs, and also providing them with education until they step into society and have a stable income."

Hearing this, Gu Qiuyi's expression had already changed. She nodded repeatedly and muttered seriously: "So it's specifically for rescuing orphans... That's really meaningful... You help me see if my time is convenient that night. If it's convenient, I'll go and attend."

Chen Duoduo curled her lips and teased her deliberately: "Look at you, just because your Brother Ye Chen is an orphan, the charity behavior of rescuing orphans is infinitely elevated in your eyes. Does the charity fund for rescuing lonely elderly people rank lower than it in your eyes?"

Gu Qiuyi's pretty face flushed, and she hurriedly said: "I don't mean that at all, don't talk nonsense!"

Chen Duoduo hummed: "I'm not talking nonsense, that's exactly what you think."

Gu Qiuyi said in a panic: "Oh, I really don't mean that... I just... I just..."

Chen Duoduo asked her with a smile: "Stuttering, go ahead and say it, you just what?"

Gu Qiuyi stammered for a long time before she hardened her heart, glared at Chen Duoduo, and blurted out: "You're right, I do look at charity behavior for rescuing orphans with higher regard. This is loving the house and its crow, so what? Can't I? Brother Ye Chen spent so many years in the orphanage and suffered so much. I feel heartache when I think about it. I have no chance to go back to the past to make up for his childhood, but I can make up for the childhood of other orphans. This can be considered as an explanation to myself. You bad woman, aren't you just forcing me to admit it? I admit it, is that okay?"

Chen Duoduo was amused by her serious look and giggled, hurriedly saying: "Okay, okay, okay, it's fine if you admit it. Although I can't empathize with your mood, I can understand it to a certain extent. This is also why I said let you understand the purpose of this charity fund first and then make a decision."

As she spoke, Chen Duoduo added: "However, Qiuyi, you can't always be so silly, only knowing how to pay silently. You promise to attend this charity dinner, not just to help orphans, but also to let Ye Chen know that you did all this because you like him and because you love the house and its crow!"

Gu Qiuyi awkwardly smoothed the long hair at her temples and whispered: "There's no need for that... I'm not trying to ask for credit from Brother Ye Chen..."

Chen Duoduo was so angry that she slapped her thigh and questioned her: "Gu Qiuyi, do you still want to marry him?"

Gu Qiuyi was startled by her and said subconsciously: "I want to... of course I want to..."

Chen Duoduo pinched her thigh and gritted her teeth, angry at her lack of ambition: "If you really want to marry him, from today on, don't be a big fool who only pays silently behind the scenes! From today on, everything you do for him must be known to him, otherwise you are doing useless work!"

As she spoke, Chen Duoduo stared and asked her: "Do you know what useless work is?"

Gu Qiuyi was shocked by her momentum and stammered: "I... I know..."

Chen Duoduo questioned her like a teacher asking a poor student: "Come on, tell me, how do you understand the three words 'useless work'?"

Gu Qiuyi muttered: "How else can I understand it... Isn't it the ineffective work mentioned in physics? That is to say, the work done cannot get the desired transformation..."

Chen Duoduo waved her hand: "I'm a liberal arts student, don't give me that physics work stuff. Let me explain to you in simple terms what useless work is!"

As she spoke, she sat up straight and said very seriously to Gu Qiuyi: "The useless work I'm talking about is that a person is standing on the top of Mount Everest, and you are standing at the foot of the mountain shouting at him. Even if you shout until you become mute, or shout until you are seventy or eighty, he still can't hear what you are saying."

"Changing it to you, it means your Brother Ye Chen hasn't made up his mind to marry you yet, and you have been doing useless work here. Then three years later, his thoughts will definitely be exactly the same as they are now! He still hasn't made up his mind to marry you. What will you do then? Wait for him for another three years, and do another three years of useless work?"

Hearing this, Gu Qiuyi's face instantly turned as pale as paper.

She naturally understood the meaning of Chen Duoduo's words. ===== CHAPTER 2024 =====
