Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 72 Denied

"I just remembered that only you can help me with this." Although Scarlett wondered why he was so flustered just now, she didn't pay much attention to cheering for her sudden good idea. Anyway, the notebook She has seen it, and it is probably nothing more than remembering some boring things about children, so she is not interested.

"What? I'm willing to help you." Although her expression made Jack very confused, it was no different from himself just now, but he still showed his usual hospitality.

"Your hypnotism is too powerful." Her expression was excited, "Can you use it on other people?"

"You mean hypnosis?" He vaguely guessed what she was going to do, "There shouldn't be any problem. It's just..."

"That's good. After Rhett comes back, you can hypnotize him and help me ask him what he thinks in his heart, whether he still loves me, and whether he is willing to be with me. If he is not willing, You just talk to him and make him fall in love with me again. Or you help me erase all his sad memories, leaving only the good ones, so..." Jack was startled when he heard what she was going to do, and then It was only when she realized that she immediately interrupted her words.

"Absolutely not, Miss Scarlett, I can't do it," he said firmly. "Even if I could, I can't do you this favor."

"Why?" Scarlett was very surprised. Didn't he always support her in recovering Ritter and helped her a lot, why is she unwilling to help her now?This should be a trivial matter to him.

"I understand your feelings, Miss Scarlett." His tone softened a little, "but I don't have such a superb hypnotism, it's just the first time I use it, and it's completely wrong. Also, even if I use such a despicable hypnotism The method helped you bring Mr. Ritter back, do you think that a person who 'falls in love' with you under the hint of others, a person with a crippled memory, is still the original Mr. Ritter?" He immediately felt keenly that this This technology is not as beautiful as he thought.

"I don't care. As long as he is willing to come back to me, I don't care about anything." The light in Scarlett's eyes burned even more intensely, "As long as you do me this favor, I will promise you as much as you want."

"It's not about money or not." His tone was a little more blunt, "I can't help you."

"Why?" The light in her eyes weakened, and the sadness in her green eyes shattered into a broken lake, making Jack unable to bear to look at it. In fact, this was her usual strategy. "Why don't you help me? You were obviously willing to help me before. Why now..."

"Don't be like this, Miss Scarlett." He lowered his head and stopped looking at her face. "If I help you this time, you will not be happy in the future, and Mr. Rhett will only be more unhappy."

"How do you know if you don't even help?" Seeing that showing weakness would not work, Scarlett's tone became impatient.I didn't expect this child to be so stubborn, and she didn't even know how to change it a little bit. As long as Rhett can come back, she won't use any method.But she also knew that Jack must have his own considerations in rejecting her, but the belief that Rhett should come back overwhelmed everything. How did Jack know that he and Rhett would not be happy?She is willing to repay him, provided that he is willing to come back, as long as he comes back, she will definitely give him happiness.However, seeing Jack's hesitation to speak, let's first listen to what he will say to refute.She needs his advice, maybe he can tell himself why he doesn't want to help her, so that he can know where he is wrong, and then he can correct it.She discovered a long time ago that for herself, at least in terms of feelings, saying and doing are two different things, and saying and doing are two different things.Although she can persuade Lan Li to face up to her feelings, she is still confused about her relationship problems.Thinking of her crazy pursuit of Ashley in the past, she was really a little scared. If she tried her best but couldn't get Rhett back... She and Rhett were the same in this point, they were both afraid of being hurt again.But she is willing to change, as long as someone teaches her how.

"The world operates according to certain laws." God, he is here again, what she wants to hear is his reason for refusing, why is he talking about the world? "Although we don't understand most of them, based on what we know, we can deduce the cause and effect of some things, and how to avoid disadvantages. The same is true for the human heart."

"What are you going to say?" Scarlett couldn't take it anymore, and went straight to the point.

"You don't like to listen to long speeches, so I'll just talk about it briefly. I hope you can understand." He seemed to know that he couldn't understand, which aroused her competitive spirit, and she listened carefully. Prepare to humiliate him later. "I just want to ask you a question, why did you go after Mr. Ritter?"

"Because of me, I—" Scarlett felt that this was a stupid question, but just as she was about to answer it, she realized that she couldn't give an answer right away, to be precise, she couldn't give an answer that would convince her.Of course she wanted to give Rhett happiness, but she seldom thought about what to do and what kind of happiness she would give him.She thought that she would understand those things after she got back to Rhett. She always took one step at a time.If Rhett would tell her, she could.But Jack's question made her suddenly understand that if Rhett didn't take the initiative to open up to her, she would not be able to understand this, and she would not be able to recover Rhett.Rhett has been prejudiced against her since he left her, he doesn't trust her at all, and she finally realizes where the core of their problem lies.

Jack looked at her quietly, he didn't care what her answer was, he just wanted Scarlett to think clearly.Seeing that Scarlett's expression gradually changed from a daze to a sudden realization, she felt that it was time to ask her second question.Before Scarlett could speak, he said: "I also want to ask you, you asked me to help hypnotize Mr. Rhett, you said it was to understand his true thoughts, make him fall in love with you again, and forget those unpleasant memories, for the time being Not to mention that I don't have such a great ability at all, even if I do, I will use it on you first, whether you like it or not. Are you willing?"

"Why?" She didn't expect him to say that.

"Because I don't know where Mr. Rhett is now." He mentioned this practical problem half-jokingly, and then pretended to be indifferent, "Anyway, your purpose is to prevent yourself from being hurt again, for your own sake." Happiness, it's easy to do, as long as I erase Mr. Rhett from your memory, you won't suffer from thinking about him all day long, and you can start a happy life without him again. Mr. Rhett won't because It's better for both of you, and a lot easier, for you to be distracted by your endless pursuit and be his gentleman again."

"You dare to do this?" Scarlett was startled and angry. Although there was a vicious threat in her tone, she took a step back. "If you dare to do this, I will throw you on the street."

"Look. You can't sit still when I'm not much better. If Mr. Rhett ever finds out that you used this method on him-one can't be kept in the dark forever, if you will Isn't it as simple as being thrown on the street?" He said smoothly, reminding her to pay attention to Rhett's feelings.

Scarlett froze. She had never thought of this level.Jack's words had to make her reflect on the inconsistency of her words and deeds.I clamored all day to give Rhett happiness, but I didn't seriously think about what Rhett needed. I vowed in my heart to repay him, but I didn't want to calm down and think about how to repay him.Now, for herself, while Rhett is not around, she conspires with others to force Rhett to return to her side, without considering Rhett's feelings at all. She is really a bad woman, but fortunately, she is not hopeless Save her, and someone is willing to save her.Although this person is not as pleasing to the eye when talking to her now, but he really wants to make himself think clearly.Only when he thinks clearly and makes up his mind to correct himself can Rhett, who returns to him, be happy.If he wants to return to her, he must work hard to eliminate his prejudice and distrust of her.To get rid of his prejudice and mistrust, she had to, had to put himself in Rhett's shoes for him.After a lot of hard thinking, she finally came to this conclusion.

"Thank you for reminding me of my own stupidity." Although Scarlett was reluctant, her strength was that she dared to face the new reality and quickly learned how to face it. Now she even spoke with a sense of sarcasm self-reflection. "It's a big deal, I'll change it in the future." She despised idiots the most, so how could she allow herself to be stupid?

"Moving your mouth is easy, but how you do it is up to you." Jack was very happy to see her take the first step, but it was only the first step, and there was still a long way to go. "It's not that easy." He reminded her cautiously. "Don't look down on me, I will change it if I say it will be changed." Scarlett glared at him, but her tone relaxed.She has always made up her mind, and nothing can stop her.

"Then what if I tell you that the hypnosis that Angela and I just did was all fake, just to let her see her father? If you seize such a rare opportunity, how will you deal with me?" Jack made another risky move .

"What, you were all fake just now, how is it possible?" After the initial surprise, Scarlett immediately realized what the consequences would be if Lanli found out about this matter, and her egoism was stimulated again: if she threatened Jack to Tell Lan Li about this, and he will obediently help him recover Rhett.The thought made her eyes light up again, and she was eager to try like a good horse that won't rest, but she held on to its rein desperately.It would be too dishonest if she couldn't do that—this was the first time she had put moral standards first.Besides, if what he said was true, he told Lan Li that he wouldn't get any benefits other than making Angela's wish shattered. He wouldn't hypnotize him, and it would be useless for Rhett to come back.
