Three Combs: Chapter 37.1

[Previous][Table of Contents][Next]

Jiang Tiao’s temper was not without reason.

When she was in high school, she wanted to go to the Beijing Academy of Film but not because she dreamed of being a star. No, she simply loves the makeup she sees in film and television and wants to study costume and character design. In her second year, she began to seriously learn the skill. Her grades are good so her parents hoped to would honestly take her culture classes. In their eyes, pursuing a career in sports or the arts is shameful. They privately sought out her homeroom teacher so that he can dissuade her from it.

That's the first piece.

Don’t be fooled by Jiang Tiao’s usual gentleness and silence, once she sets her heart on something, she will see it through.

The homeroom teacher had a one-on-one talk with her but yielded no results. Her parents have no choice but to let her have her way.

This young lady was also determined. Two years later, she was admitted into Beijing Film Academy for the Arts.

Very quickly, the second piece came.

Jiang Tiao had a close relative friend who works at the enrollment office at Beijing Film Academy. Her parents privately sought out that person spent more than ten thousand dollars in bribes and invite them out to eat in the hopes to transfer Jiang Tiao to the Department of Literature. Simply put, they still think learning makeup is a bit shameful. Even if it is Beijing Film Academy, no matter how good the school is, she is still learning makeup…..

This series of actions were kept hidden from Jiang Tiao who knew nothing of it.

Before the freshmen orientation, her parents finally told her about it.

Jiang Tiao cried and made a ruckus, swearing that she would never go to the Department of Literature. She took out her acceptance letter and said what profession is written on the admission notice is what she wants to learn.

Father Jiang was so angry, he cursed: The money is already spent! Do you want it to go to waste!

Jiang Tiao replied: I will quickly return it to you.

Father Jiang said: How are you going to repay it? With that embarrassing profession?

Jiang Tiao replied: Yes with my embarrassing profession.

In the year following her graduation, Jiang Tiao used an entire year of her savings to pay off all the money.

Her proud parents finally had nothing to say.

Now, her three-month salary added up is the same amount that her parents used as a “bribe” that year. This is the most powerful proof.

Today, Fu Ting Chuan’s poaching scheme is definitely the third piece in her life.

Saying it was all for her own good but he never talked to her about it. Especially since he is her boyfriend, shouldn’t it be better for them to communicate?

What’s the difference between him and her parents?

If he hadn’t looked for Yuan Yang to persuade her but personally told her his plans and asked for her opinions, she wouldn’t have gotten so angry.

Everyone has a minefield and this is Jiang Tiao’s minefield.

If he is going to step on it, then he shouldn’t blame her for blowing up.

**

The tears of women are the deadliest weapon to kill without shedding blood.

Seeing his girl cry, the dissatisfaction in Fu Ting Chuan’s heart disappeared immediately, replacing it with only heartache.

He immediately pulled her into a hug.

Jiang Tiao struggled for a while but the man did not budge at all.
“Fu Ting Chuan, let go! Let go!” She screamed in her arms. Her tears continued to roll down her face and stained his gray shirt.

Fu Ting Chuan naturally did not let go.

He turned his head and leaned to her ear, “Calm down. Let’s sit down and talk about it. Then I’ll let go.”

The woman in his arms stopped moving seemingly as if she agreed to his proposal.

Fu Ting Chuan finally let go.

Finally, she had some air. Jiang Tiao took a deep breath, her face red and her eyebrows tightly scrunched together.

Fu Ting Chuan raised his hand and wiped the tears on her cheek with his thumb. He lowered himself to face her and apologized, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t thinking clearly.”

Jiang Tiao looked up at him, her eyes red. She didn’t say anything but she doesn’t look as fierce as she did before.

Fu Ting Chuan asked, “Are we still eating hot pot?”

“We already bought it, so why not eat?” Jiang Tiao said and went to the sink.

Fu Ting Chuan sighed and followed her.

Couple's quarrels are like rainstorms, they come quickly and pass just as fast.

Jiang Tiao and Fu Ting Chuan returned to what they were doing before, and peacefully wash the vegetables.

After picking another stalk, she said, “Let’s start over.”

“What do you mean,” Fu Ting Chuan didn’t understand, “Go back to fighting again?”

Jiang Tiao puffs her cheeks and sighed. She raised an eyebrow at him, “Sure, I have no objection.”

“No,” Fu Ting Chuan quickly rejected. He lowered his body and met her eye level, “Start what over?”

This old man, trying to act cute. Jiang Tiao looked away, “Return back to a few days ago when you haven’t decided to seek out my master and have no thought of it either. You only want to discuss it with me and asked for my opinions. Got it?”

She pursed her lips, “In this scene, I will give you a chance to say your true thoughts.”

“This?” Fu Ting Chuan realized.

Jiang Tiao heavily nodded her head.

“Yes.” Fu Ting Chuan pondered for a moment, “Actually when you came to Beijing for a business trip last month, I wanted to talk to you about working with me. When we were watching the movie, I told you about it but you didn’t hear it.”

Hearing this, Jiang Tiao’s heart ached.

She rests her hand on her heart and asked, “So you went to see my Master?”

“That was the last resort. For a while, after my medical report was exposed, I was bored sitting in my studio every day. I really wanted to go to Hengdian to see you but made it very clear, not to act rashly so I can only patiently stay at home. I couldn’t personally ask you so I went to Yuan Yang, hoping that he can help me push you.”

“Yuan Yang didn’t agree at first. He felt that it was too sudden and could bear to lose you. I talked with him for a long time on the phone, promised him I will treat you well, never betray you and let you suffer from work. Only then did he relax. I told him to persuade you and to not mention my part in it and he promised.”

“I never thought that he would sell me out so fast.”

Heh….Jiang Tiao let out a soft laugh.

When she looked back at Fu Ting Chuan, she returned back to her solemn state, “You selfishly made a decision for me and even made my Master an accomplice. My master doesn’t like to lie, I saw right through him. Do you still feel wronged?”

“Why would I feel wronged, I’ve long prepared myself. Xu Che also said this method isn’t a good idea and you might get angry.” Fu Ting Chuan raised the hand resting on her right shoulder and pinched her cheek, “I never expected you to get so angry.”

After he said this, he put his hand back on her shoulder.

“Do you know your wrong now?” Jiang Tiao wanted to push his hand away but the man’s grip was unexpectedly strong and wouldn’t budge. She can only give up.

“Yes.” Fu Ting Chuan helplessly answered.
