Chapter 419: [Things in the Cemetery]

Chen Yan raised an eyebrow and looked back at the girl.

The girl’s eyes were red, seeming a bit aggrieved, and her tone was just as aggrieved: "You look down on me, right?"

"Yes."

Chen Yan’s straightforward response made Angie freeze for a moment; she probably hadn’t expected such a direct answer from him.

"Is it... because of the party incident? Because that day..."

The girl spoke, her voice starting to tremble: "I, I didn’t know what would happen afterward, I, I..."

Chen Yan slowly walked forward, speaking coldly: "Do you know what would have happened if that house hadn’t caught fire that day?"

"..."

"You would have been carried into a room by that guy and been enjoyed by him.

I don’t know if you’re a virgin; maybe you are, maybe you’re not.

But even if you are, that guy wouldn’t be gentle with you. He’d only see you as someone to sleep with at a party, using you once, or even several times.

Moreover, because he was drinking, perhaps even on drugs, he’d be out of his mind and might even abuse you.

And there’s an even worse possibility, that after he’s done, he’d throw you to the other men at the party."

Angie’s body shivered, her eyes showing fear.

"And all this happened because you’re stupid.

A notorious scumbag at school drove up and you jumped into his car when he beckoned you."

Chen Yan said, his tone becoming more mocking: "To me, you’re worse than those gold diggers.

At least they have brains; they trade their bodies for money and material things.

And you? You get nothing; when someone beckons, you just stupidly follow them, offering yourself to be used.

I don’t even need to ask; I know you’ve long known that Murray is a scumbag at school.

But you still wanted to get close to him, right? Because you’re vain; you think those people are somehow high class.

If you’re not stupid, who is?"

Angie’s body shrank back, but it was clear she was shattered by Chen Yan’s words. She bit her lip hard and whispered: "I, I didn’t want to; I just wanted, I just wanted to be looked up to, I thought..."

"You thought those people are lousy but cool, and being talked about by everyone means having face." Chen Yan laughed.

"...Yes."

"You’re unwilling to be ordinary, you want to be respected by those around you."

"...Yes."

"There are many ways to be respected.

You can try hard at studying and become a top student, then get an offer from a prestigious university—though I know this isn’t considered impressive in high schools in the United States.

Or you could learn some special skill; you can dance, you can have other talents, or if that’s too difficult, you can play games and become exceptionally skilled, also earning admiration.

But you? You’re nothing; you can’t do anything.

You’re not truly cool; you’re just pretending to be."

"I, I know I have no skills, but do ordinary people not deserve respect?!"

"You live your life for others to see?" Chen Yan shook his head, unwilling to deal with this childish nonsense.

Angie was silent for a while, then suddenly her eyes brightened.

She jumped up from the sofa, running over to Chen Yan, grabbing his arm.

"You’re really impressive, aren’t you! You’re even better than my father!!" Angie’s eyes showed a crazed expression: "Be my boyfriend, will you? I’ll be your girlfriend, I can listen to everything you say! I’ll do anything you want!

I’m still a virgin! I can listen to everything you say!

Be my boyfriend, I..."

"Quit dreaming."

Chen Yan said coldly: "People with real skills find ways to become good themselves; only trash look to cheat and rely on others."

Pausing, he pried Angie’s arm off: "I refuse; I despise stupidity."

Chen Yan felt a bit speechless inside.

Girlfriend?

With her mediocre looks, stupid and vain personality?

Whether it’s Lu Sisi or Chu Keqing, or any woman who has been close to me, aren’t they a thousand times better than her?

"Ask your father, he actually has some skills. Let him teach you, and if you’re willing to work hard to learn and train, you might develop some abilities.

Aside from that, it’d be enough to get by in school."

After speaking, Chen Yan sat down on the sofa, looking at Angie, coldly saying: "Don’t come near me, stay away."

Chen Yan ignored Angie, closing his eyes to nourish the spirit himself. He wasn’t really dazing or sleeping, but in his mind, over and over again, pondering and studying the Cultivation Techniques left by Xie Jiuyan.

Because of Chen Yan’s previous harsh attitude, Angie didn’t dare to provoke him anymore and had to hide to one side, occasionally sneaking glances his way.

Chen Yan knew that the girl hadn’t given up hope yet, but let her be; she was just a vain little fool.

Wu returned later, bringing not so great news.

Over in New York, the police had visited a Chinese restaurant once. Found it closed with no one there, and had to ask around with the other nearby shops.
