Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter [-]

Seeing that the relationship between Disson and Lanli showed signs of improvement, Scarlett was also happy for them.Like all women in the world, her sex talk would be at an all-time high at this time, but it was really hard for her to ask about the privacy of the husband and wife's boudoir.She couldn't find a breakthrough for the conversation for a while, and she suddenly became interested, and wanted to ask how Lan Li knew Rhett.At this time, she didn't harbor any jealousy or speculation at all, she was just purely curious.

Lan Li's explanation is reasonable, but it doesn't make much sense to her. Anyway, Rhett has a lot of money, and it's not the first time he has generously donated to orphans and widows.But Lanli said that she met Rhett before they got married, so it is completely possible to rule out his reluctance to support the stupid cause of southerners after Meilan was born.It was only then that Scarlett realized that her evaluation of Rhett's "villain" was very unfair. At least he was willing to help those who she thought were worthy of help. From this alone, she knew that Rhett was better than herself.There are two kinds of bad people, one is bad because of oneself and does not believe in the good of others, and the other is bad of oneself so cherishes the good of others.Rhett is undoubtedly the second type. As for her—fortunately, she is at least trying to get closer to the second type.

It's just that after talking about this topic, they have nothing to say.The difference between Lanli and ordinary women is that she seldom talks about the things that ordinary women like to talk about, such as the latest style of lace or the fashion trend of clothes (although once she talks about it, she knows it better than herself who is proficient in it. More detail).Her silence is not because she is not good at talking, but because she is unwilling to talk about those boring things that she thinks have little to do with her.She didn't pay much attention to the things that others cared about. Scarlett didn't understand why at first, but now that she witnessed the different behaviors between her and Deason, she suddenly felt that she understood. It's not that Lanli doesn't care, but what she cares about is different from others Just the same.An invisible but real thing has occupied Lanli's heart, the southern spirit and southern tradition, which is what Lanli really cares about.Scarlett scolded herself for being so slow, how could she have forgotten that Deason was a Yankee who was at odds with southerners?

But Scarlett quickly overturned her guess.When she was in the South, did she rarely see a wooden head clinging to the old rules? How could Lanli be such an old-fashioned person?Scarlett thinks about it now, when Lanli bought the timber factory, she was under no less pressure from public opinion than she was.I don't need to care about those old foxes who talk about sour grapes, so Lan Li naturally doesn't care. Up to now, she has been, and can even be said to be the only woman who supports and helps her in business.If it wasn't for this reason, they wouldn't know each other at all, let alone become good friends.But when it comes to feelings, Lan Li can't show her vision and courage in the business field at all.In addition to Disson's embarrassing Yankee identity - what makes her even more embarrassed is that she has no strong aversion to this matter after only knowing Disson for a few days, which makes her feel a kind of betrayal in her heart from time to time Lan Li felt guilty—she really felt that they were supposed to be together, even if they were not grown up in the same place and culture.Like, like myself and Rhett, because they're the same kind of people.She didn't know if Rhett's words were appropriate to use here, but the strange thing was that she had such a feeling.

It's a pity that Scarlett can only think about it in her heart.This is the case with relationships. No matter how good a friend is, the help they can provide is just advice. When it comes to making a real choice, it still depends on the person involved.Since Lan Li didn't want to say it, she couldn't force it, but she was always worried about the two of them.She was not a nosy woman in the first place, but Lan Li's matter was definitely not a nosy matter, besides, Rhett was involved in it.Of course she didn't have any mistrust in Disson's ability, but the long-term harsh life had caused her too much insecurity for too long, and she couldn't wholeheartedly tie the meager hope left in the crisis to any As a person, although she will not refuse the help of others (if she can't solve it by her own strength), she will not feel at ease if she can't find a way to return this huge favor—at least not at the time.Although Scarlett is a woman who only pays attention to the present-this makes her give her a useful amulet of "tomorrow" to avoid problems when she seldom thinks about the future-but everything will not be extremely bad. It also taught her to work hard to solve the difficulties she encountered, to keep a clear vision of the problems when she was deceiving herself, and then to find ways to solve them (although these problems were actually escaped by her before, and she even became a woman because she did not solve them in time. more tricky).

So the reason why Scarlett tried hard to help Disson and Lanli ease the relationship is not simple, just as complicated as her psychological state at the moment.Even the suggestion of standing up and talking without back pain is better than nothing. She first determined the answer to the question of whether to talk about it, and then began to choose the direction to break through like a defeated general in a tight siege.The way to go straight to the court is definitely not enough. Although Lanli is not a pretentious lady, she is a lady after all. She is not good to be too direct. With Lanli's character, she will definitely not say "it's none of your business" to keep everything she said. Pushing back sympathetically, she would never let anyone down, but because of this, Scarlett dared not treat her too badly. It would be too ignorant to be presumptuous to such a considerate person.On the other hand, she also feels sorry for Lanli's hard work, and she doesn't want to add a new burden to her heart—being considerate of others often means suppressing one's own thoughts, which is really not an easy job—so Scarlett's choice of the starting point for the conversation is very important. Be careful, of course this is not easy at all, but people do notice problems that they seldom noticed before and make breakthroughs under pressure, and Scarlett is like this.She thought of what Lanli and she said when she confessed the story with Disson. If the emotional color is stripped away, Disson did nothing wrong in the whole thing-it can't be blamed for the wrong choice of the wrong fetus. Got a job?Another person would definitely think that Lanli was making trouble out of no reason, but Scarlett didn't think about it that way, even if she thought about it, she didn't think too much about it, but forced herself to find other reasons to explain Lanli's abnormality in the matter of "choosing a mate" She was stubborn, but the result of working hard for a long time made her extremely frustrated: Either Dison was not the good person she saw at all, or Lan Li didn't finish talking to her at the beginning and concealed something that was really unspeakable.She had already preconceived and forced herself to give up "Lanli is making trouble for no reason", so it would definitely be impossible to pick it up again.But if it is really the first result, what she is doing now to get Lanli to be with him is not just self-indulgent, it is simply sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth; but if she doesn't help, don't expect Disson to help her get Rui Te fished out.The meanings behind these two results are actually the same, and it's all due to her psychological factors that she can't trust Disson's character.At this moment, she really hopes that Lanli can explain her doubts, otherwise not only Disson's character, but also her trust in Lanli will be shaken, so what should Rhett do?

But Lan Li can really hold her breath.Scarlett watched the minute hand swirling round and round, listening to the monotonous sound of the time chime hitting her heart firmly like a hammer, and then looked at Lanli opposite, she got up and left the bubble in a leisurely manner. After drinking the black tea, Scarlett suddenly became very angry with her elegant profile, but she couldn't figure out why she should be angry with her. At the age of 16, she would feel that the whole world was against her because her wishes were not fulfilled. Of course, at the age of 29, she would no longer be so naive, but she still felt that somewhere in her heart was gradually tightening.The strong desire will not disappear if it is not satisfied, but it may make people use stronger enthusiasm to remove the obstacles to obtaining this kind of satisfaction. What's the matter, even if I got it, I didn't have the kind of happiness I expected.Everyone walks in this way, and Scarlett is no exception.It's just that she didn't want to go on like this, so her dissatisfaction with Lan Li was just a superficial stay and then drifted away. The tense muscle in her heart also slowly relaxed.

The warm and soft mist gently lingers under the clear sunlight, slowly becoming thin and transparent.Drinking stomach-warming black tea in the morning is good for your health, but it really doesn't match the midsummer weather.Even so, Scarlett couldn't take advantage of Lanli's kindness. After all, she woke up early in the morning and urged Lanli to practice without eating breakfast, and she would have lunch soon. If she didn't drink a little, her stomach would feel a little uncomfortable.Lanli's tea making skills are superb, the water temperature is just right, enough to slowly release the fragrance of the tea leaves, so that people can savor them carefully.What Scarlett admires her is this kind of life interest, or life attitude, which has nothing to do with how much money she wears, how beautiful clothes she wears, and how luxurious a house she lives in. These can only be called icing on the cake. Scarlett firmly believes that even living in a humble room Lan Li, who is dressed in coarse linen, must also be elegant and charming. Her graceful demeanor is not so much a product of strict family education, but rather a natural one.Such people are rare, but each one is enough to become the center of the world's attention.Holding the warm black tea cup that Lanli handed her, Scarlett finally understood Disson's persistence: there is a kind of person worthy of everyone's love, but not everyone is worthy of loving this kind of person.Love is indeed not a fair thing.In fact, because of inequality, some people are willing to put themselves in a lower position than the other party, and love will arise.
