Zhao Mengxue sent Wen Pingping to her door, and then drove to the restaurant. Chen Zhongan had already arrived.

Zhao Mengxue walked into the box, Chen Zhongan asked the waiter to serve the food, and they sat down together.

After the waiters served the dishes one after another, they were left alone in the private room without anyone disturbing them.

"What do you want to say to me?" Zhao Mengxue took a sip of water and said slowly.

"You were right in analyzing part of me last time. I want to continue this time..." Chen Zhongan's voice was a little hoarse. He didn't have a good rest last night and was not in a good mood.

"Okay, tell me." Zhao Mengxue asked patiently as she ate a piece of shrimp.

Chen Zhongan raised his hand and began to peel the shrimp. He needed to do something to relieve the tension in his heart, fearing that his vulnerable side would be exposed.

"This time Aunt Jiang came back, I was actually very hesitant. I was afraid that I would hurt her." Chen Zhongan's voice was a bit weak, sounding like he was embarrassed to say anything.

"Why?" Zhao Mengxue asked softly.

"I felt like I was a person who messed up relationships. Aunt Jiang was the first person I liked. I thought I was doing a good job and all I needed to do was make money..."

Chen Zhongan swallowed, "I feel that with money, I have the whole world. I worked hard to make money."

"Does having money make you happy?" Zhao Mengxue said softly.

"I was really happy at the beginning. As my account balance increased, I started buying all kinds of things. Aunt Jiang thought I was too wasteful and shouldn't keep buying things, or just fancy things..."

Chen Zhong settled down for a moment, feeling more guilty about Aunt Jiang and hating himself for not handling the relationship well in the first place.

"What happened next?" Zhao Mengxue continued, looking at Chen Zhongan seriously.

"After a few months, I felt tired of it. I didn't like buying things anymore. The happiness that buying things brought me was very low. I started not to like buying things anymore."

Chen Zhongan took a long breath. It took courage for him to talk about the past.

Zhao Mengxue nodded. She understood what Chen Zhongan was thinking and guessed what the other party wanted.

"Am I sick?" Chen Zhongan took a deep breath, as if mustering up the courage to speak out.

Zhao Mengxue almost laughed. She looked at Chen Zhongan's confused face, but she still held it back.

"No, you are not sick." Zhao Mengxue shook her head, her voice a little more certain.

Chen Zhongan breathed a sigh of relief. He still thought that if he was really sick, he would see a doctor and not harm other people.

"You also said that your father was very strict with you, and that you didn't have a very good life as a child. When you grew up, you would buy a lot of things in revenge, trying to prove to the world that you were great..."

Zhao Mengxue slowly spoke. The man opposite him was silent. A soft place in his heart was touched.

"Sometimes we desire something too much and have been hurt before, and our subconscious will show some revenge behaviors. It may be to prove ourselves or to make up for ourselves."

Zhao Mengxue continued, she saw that Chen Zhongan's face was a little tense and he might collapse at any time.

"Then what should I do?" Chen Zhongan looked at Zhao Mengxue with a blank expression.

"Let's first understand why this is happening, and then you can decide whether to change it." Zhao Mengxue said softly, and Chen Zhongan nodded.

"Okay, keep talking." Chen Zhongan waited patiently for Zhao Mengxue, suppressing his emotions.

"You used to feel that making money was very satisfying, and it did bring you some feelings of satisfaction. However, people's psychological thresholds have reached their peak. When they reach a certain amount, they will no longer satisfy you." Zhao Mengxue smiled and said, "Aunt Jiang There are places where it really affects you, and in a positive way.”

"Yes, she makes me feel very happy." Chen Zhongan nodded, "I regret it so much."

"It's hard to be in a relationship, and you're dealing with some trauma from the past, and it's very confusing to you, and the relationship ends up being messed up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zhongan's head tightened, and all his inner thoughts were spoken by Zhao Mengxue.

Zhao Mengxue took out a tissue and handed it to Chen Zhongan. He soon burst into tears, and his strength over the years collapsed.

In the past, Chen Zhongan wanted money very much. He once thought that profit was the only reliable thing and that no one could trust him. He also thought that having money was enough. People would leave him, but money would never leave him.

Zhao Mengxue watched Chen Zhongan cry for a while, and she gave him a bowl of chicken soup.

"You have worked really hard all these years." Zhao Mengxue said softly. She was completely standing in Chen Zhongan's perspective and said softly.

Chen Zhongan cried even harder, leaving Zhao Mengxue speechless. The two of them were quiet for a while to give everyone some space.

Zhao Mengxue watched Chen Zhongan cry quietly. She did not laugh at him, but seemed to understand him.

After a while, Chen Zhongan's mood gradually calmed down. He sniffed and tried to control his emotions.

"Sorry..." Chen Zhongan shook his head and took out another tissue.

"It's okay, just cry if you want to." Zhao Mengxue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Sometimes crying is also a solution and your way of expression."

"You understand me so well." Chen Zhongan was trembling as he spoke and raised his head to look at Zhao Mengxue.

"Isn't that great? The hardest thing in the world is understanding." Zhao Mengxue shrugged and gave Chen Zhongan a piece of lobster.

"I misunderstood you before, and I really went too far."

Chen Zhongan remembered the look he gave Zhao Mengxue before, and he really felt that he had gone too far. Fortunately, Zhao Mengxue ignored the past grudges, otherwise he would not have such a good way to vent.

"Okay, the past is in the past. I think you can try to get rid of the past and pursue Aunt Jiang again." Zhao Mengxue smiled.

"Forget it, I think I'm a bad person and I don't want to harm other people." Chen Zhongan shook his head and refused without thinking.

"How do you know if you don't try? Neither you nor I are Aunt Jiang, do we have to help her make the decision?"

Zhao Mengxue said seriously, she took another one and gave it to Chen Zhongan.

"Hey..." Chen Zhongan said lightly.

"You can slow down now and don't have to rush to make money. Isn't this a good situation?" Zhao Mengxue reminded him softly, hoping that he would cherish the people in front of him.

Chen Zhongan listened to what Zhao Mengxue said and thought about it. He really didn't have to worry about anything now, he had made enough money, and the next step was to enjoy his life.

"Let's eat." Zhao Mengxue picked up food for Chen Zhongan. She chatted with him slowly and ate slowly.

Chen Zhongan's mood gradually calmed down. He also talked about some recent events and gained great insights. He was especially grateful to Zhao Mengxue for helping him solve the problem.

Zhao Mengxue saw that he knew his mistakes and could correct them, and had a feeling that he and Aunt Jiang would have a good ending. (End of chapter)
