Chapter 325 The Way of a Concubine(1/2)
The next day, Yan Xin and Ailili got up early in the morning, and Ailili took Yan Xin for a morning run.
Ellie is more familiar with this area and knows which places are suitable for morning jogging and which places are too polluted to go for a run.
The place they live in is already on the edge of the city. Not far away, they reach the countryside, which is a patchwork of farmland. The air is relatively good and cement roads have been built, making it suitable for running.
First I walked to that area, and then slowly started jogging.
It was almost eight o'clock when the two of them went back.
Ai Lili took Yan Xin on a special trip to a restaurant and ordered some breakfast to take back.
Ai Jing can cook at home, but only for lunch and dinner, not breakfast. She can't get up that early.
Breakfast is all eaten outside.
The breakfast in this hotel is more to her liking, and the store is relatively clean, which reassures her that her breakfast is basically provided by this hotel.
This hotel served a wide variety of breakfasts. Aili ordered several and spent more than 100 yuan to take them back with Yan Xin.
This also made Yan Xin lament that the life of rich people is different, and a breakfast costs so much.
He lives in Yangcheng, and eating breakfast outside usually only costs a few yuan, and at the most luxurious time, it only costs more than a dozen yuan.
After returning home with breakfast, it was at this time that Ellie called her mother to get up and eat.
While eating, Yan Xin told Ai Lili that he wanted to visit Fengxiang City and asked her if she wanted to go there too.
Ellie hesitated for a moment, but still refused: "I don't want to go to that place for the time being, you can go alone."
Yan Xin has a good impression of this community, but Ai Lili doesn't think so.
For her, this community carries too many unpleasant memories. She worked there for a long time and was scolded by the owners every day, which made her doubt her life.
At this stage, she is not ready to go.
Yan Xin didn't force it, so he decided to go there alone in the morning to take a look.
Without bringing the beautiful Ellie with him, the effect of this homecoming would be greatly reduced, but it was impossible for him to force Ellie to go there.
After breakfast, he drove his Mercedes-Benz to Fengxiang City.
Ellie really wanted to accompany him, but now she really didn't want to go to Fengxiang City to face those faces she didn't like, so she could only stay at home.
After Yan Xin drove away, Ai Jing asked her: "Why didn't you follow him?"
"I don't want to go there. Many people there have scolded me, and the scoldings were very unpleasant. If I meet those people, if they don't know that I have resigned, they might still scold me," said Ellie.
She knew that those property owners scolded her not because she was not doing well, but because she was the assistant director of the management office and had been the actual person in charge of the property management of the community for a long time. It was that position that they were scolding.
Knowing that she has resigned, I will most likely not scold her, and I will not dare to scold her.
But if those owners didn't know that she had resigned and saw her, they might yell at her.
She is not someone who will scold back, so there is no need to ruin her good attitude.
You can't just explain to someone that you have resigned when you see someone, that would look like a lunatic.
When Ai Jing heard what she said, she felt a little bit sorry in her heart - because Ai Lili had never been willing to work at Fengxiang Property, and she was the one who forced her to go.
At that time, what she wanted was a company called Fengxiang Property. If she could get this company, she would have some source of income for a year. Even if Cai Qixiang was no longer around, she would be able to rely on her in the future.
Said: "If I had known you were being bullied so much there, I shouldn't have let you go to work there."
Ai Lili glanced at her, a little surprised.
Surprisingly, this mother actually admitted her mistake. This was the first time in history.
It made her feel like her status in the family had improved.
He said: "That's nothing. It's all over anyway. It can be regarded as a training for me and will help me grow. But I don't want to accept such a training anymore in the future."
"Actually, women don't have to worry so much about their careers. Whether they work hard or not is not that important."
Ai Jing felt that she should take this opportunity to teach her daughter a good lesson, and promptly put forward her theory:
"Working hard in career is a man's business. The most important thing for us women is to choose a good man and serve him well. His career will become your own career, which is much better than working hard outside.
.”
Ellie was quite unhappy with this.
She knew that her mother's words were not completely unreasonable. It was obviously much easier to marry a good man than to work hard on her own.
But doesn’t this mean living a life dependent on others?
Although she also knew that her job was obtained through Yan Xin and that she did not have the ability to become the general manager of Starlight Entertainment Company, at least she could do this job well and live by her own efforts.
.
If she depends on someone else to live, even if that person is the man she loves the most, it will make her feel uncomfortable and make her feel like a shameful parasite.
The education she received in school did not allow her to degenerate like this.
She didn't want to argue with her mother, but she still expressed her attitude: "I think it's better for women to have their own careers."
"A woman's greatest career is a man."
Ai Jing insisted on her opinion and said,
"Don't be fooled by the textbooks. Numerous facts have proven that men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men. This is a gender difference. We must acknowledge this fact instead of following it.
Go against it. If you don't recognize this fact, you will suffer a bloody blow in the future."
Ai Lili said: "I still want to give it a try. I think I can do something. Even if I can't achieve my own career, I can still help Yan Xin and relieve him of pressure."
She is soft-spoken but has a firm attitude. She still does not want to be a housewife who can only rely on men. She hopes to achieve certain achievements in her career.
Ai Jing sighed: "You seem to be more obedient than anyone else, but in fact you are so stubborn that you won't listen to anyone else's words."
"That's not the case." Ellie could only defend in a low voice.
Ai Jing said: "You have your own ideas, and I won't argue with you, but you have to know that no matter how successful a woman's career is, if she loses the favor of a man, it will be a failure."
Ellie thought to herself: "But I haven't seen you win the favor of men."
As if she knew what she was thinking, Ai Jing added: "I am not lucky. When I meet a man like your father, he must rely on the power of his wife's family to do business. It is impossible to divorce her, otherwise,
I have stepped on that yellow-faced woman to get to the top a long time ago, and I won’t be as invisible as the rat in the gutter now.”
He said this depressingly, and then started boasting again:
"However, even if he got involved with such a powerful yellow-faced woman from my mother's family, your father still did not give up on me. He would rather take risks to maintain the current relationship with me than give away some money to sever the relationship like other women in his family.
Being my long-term meal ticket is also my ability, which other vixens cannot learn."
Ellie thought to herself: "Even if you are the most powerful vixen, so what? It's not that you can't see the light, you can only live in secret."
She was very dissatisfied with her mother's shameless attitude and felt that this was a sign of lack of self-love.
But as a child, it is not easy to criticize him directly. He can only say: "I am not as powerful as you, Mom."
"You can learn this," Ai Jing said, "No one knows those things from birth. I also realized it slowly step by step. If I hadn't learned these things and captured your father's heart, where would I have been?"
Will we live like this? We, mother and daughter, have long been poor."
Ellie thought to herself: "I would rather be poor than live like that."
When I came up with this idea, I inexplicably thought of the people I saw sleeping rough in Huaxi Park yesterday, and thought to myself: "If I were to be that poor, would I be willing to do it?"
Suddenly I felt a little confused.
She couldn't understand such a poor life, and she didn't know how to live in such an environment.
Ai Jing added: "Don't look down on those ways to please men. Even if you want to start a career, you still have to catch your man. Otherwise, there are so many temptations outside and you have no means at all, and your man will be
He will become someone else’s man, and when he has a career, he will no longer have a place to cry.”
Ai Lili said: "Yan Xin is not that kind of person, he will not betray me."
Ai Jing sneered: "He is a man, and there is no man who does not cheat, unless conditions do not allow it. Look at him, he is handsome, so rich, and so young. I don't know how many young and beautiful women will go there in the future."
He jumped on me, do you think he can resist that kind of temptation?"
"He can resist." Ellie said with certainty.
Ai Jing didn't know where her confidence came from, and said: "Even if he can resist now, what about in the future? People will always change, especially rich men. Now that you are young and beautiful, he can take the whole
His heart is set on you, but in a few years or more, you will not be so young or beautiful anymore. At that time, there will be countless young and beautiful women dazzling in front of him, using various methods to seduce him, you
Are you sure he will still focus on you?"
Ellie was originally very confident, but what she said made her a little less confident.
When facing Yan Xin, she had two inferiority complexes. One was that she was an illegitimate daughter, and the other was that she was several years older than Yan Xin.
She is still very young now, so the age gap doesn't seem to matter.
But in a few years, this will no longer be the case.
As the saying goes, a man is a flower forty-one and a woman is a dregs of forty.
A forty-year-old man is still very attractive. With the blessing of wealth and experience, he is even more attractive than a younger man.
But a forty-year-old woman is already in her late stages of beauty.
