Chapter 164 -0164: Teacher Xiaoman, Online Teaching Management for Men

“I’m not sure either, but does it have anything to do with whether I like him or not? The point is he deceived me, he…”

Gu Xiaoman couldn’t help but laugh at Mu Lan’s reaction.

“The point is, if you don’t like him, who cares if he lied or not; if you want a divorce, then get a divorce without getting tangled up in it.

If you do like him, you should find out why he lied to you, at least give him a chance to explain.

Lanlan, the adult world isn’t just black and white, there are also shades of grey.

If you have to classify everything as either black or white, the one who ends up tired is you.”

Mu Lan gradually calmed down and stared at Gu Xiaoman without blinking, carefully considering her words.

“Xiaoman, you make me feel a bit… alienated, I can hardly believe these words are coming from you.”

Gu Xiaoman shrugged her shoulders.

“This is the sorrow of being shackled to society; I’m twenty-five now, and while you may look my age, your mind is still full of eighteen-year-old thoughts.

My thoughts tend to be more realistic, while yours are more idealistic.

Of course, both mindsets are normal, and there’s no right or wrong about them.

Standing in the position of a sister, I’d naturally curse out the dog of a man who upset you, but I also need to help you see the true nature of things so you can make the most beneficial choice for yourself.

Everything will be seen from your perspective, understand?”

Mu Lan seemed to understand but also not to understand, for the first time feeling as if there was a generation gap between her and Gu Xiaoman.

“So, what you mean is, I should first figure out whether I really like Huo Tingxiao, and then judge his actions?”

Gu Xiaoman nodded vigorously.

“The youngster has promise!”

That just made Mu Lan’s head hurt even more; she was also unsure whether her feelings were genuinely from the heart, or if it was for… some other reason.

“They say people have muscle memory, and likewise emotional memory; I’m also not sure whether what I’m feeling now is really what I’m thinking now.”

Seeing Mu Lan’s troubled expression, Gu Xiaoman gently coaxed her:

“Then think about it, when Huo Tingxiao said he wouldn’t love you and was merely indulging you because you were Mrs. Huo, what was the reason for your anger?

And when you faced Sheng Xueqin, why did you feel such a strong sense of crisis?

As well as initially thinking Huo Tingxiao’s sour words to you on behalf of Lin Yize were just him being bored, but now you’re promptly drawing lines with Lin Yize.

Lanlan, you need to think carefully, do you really believe that Huo Tingxiao means nothing to you, or are you simply avoiding the emotions you’ve discovered he has for you?

Also, this time you argued because Huo Tingxiao deceived you, leading to your strong reaction, but Lin Yize has also lied to you, pretending to be just a good friend even though he liked you. Both are deceptions, so why the different response, huh?”

Mu Lan was silent, unable to answer at the moment, but just as Gu Xiaoman had said, when she thought of Huo Tingxiao, she felt an uncomfortable tightness in her chest and subconsciously placed her hand over that area.

“Xiaoman, then if… I mean if, I really do like Huo Tingxiao, what should I do?”

Gu Xiaoman let out a snort of laughter, even at this juncture, this girl was still saying ‘if’?

“Like him? That makes things even simpler.”

Mu Lan couldn’t understand the meaning behind Gu Xiaoman’s words, her eyes filled with question marks.

“What do you mean?”

“If he can give you a reasonable explanation, one you can accept, then forgive him. Of course, first forgive him secretly in your heart, but you still have to see how he behaves before deciding.”

“What if he can’t produce it?”

“You really are so caught up in arguing that you’ve lost your mind. You like him, and regardless of whether he has a valid reason or not, isn’t it a good thing that he doesn’t want a divorce? Why did you hide the divorce agreement then? To trick you? Of course, it’s to avoid divorce!”

Gu Xiaoman silently added to herself, he’s already personally confessed he likes you, double arrows, it’s just a pity I promised someone to make him say it himself.

Mu Lan gave an awkward smile, focusing entirely on the fact that Huo Tingxiao had lied to her.

“Xiaoman, you’re right, I am indeed a bit childish. After calming down, I realized that no matter how angry I am, I should at least clear up the whole story first.

But… I’ve already told Huo Tingxiao that we must divorce, what’s been said cannot be unsaid.”

Clutching her hair with both hands, Mu Lan regretted why she had acted on impulse. If there was an issue, they could have just talked it out.

Gu Xiaoman nearly laughed out loud, patting Mu Lan on the shoulder.

“Alright, alright, what’s done is done, don’t dwell on it.

Don’t worry, Huo Tingxiao won’t agree to it, I guarantee he will be the one to lower his head and come to you first.

Although you weren’t rational this time, it’s understandable. You really need to take Huo Tingxiao in hand; the problem is that you didn’t lay down a strong foundation before, which left him too confident.

Now is a good opportunity. A woman is a man’s teacher, and sometimes you need to be both soft and firm to properly teach him how to be a better man, understand?”

Mu Lan first nodded at Gu Xiaoman, then shook her head.

“Xiaoman, I really am at your service. Where do you come up with all these wild and outrageous theories, one after another?”

“Hey, I’m kindly offering you the wisdom of countless female compatriots’ experience, lessons, and tears, and you’re dissing me? Haven’t you heard that men are from Mars and women are from Venus? Often, their thoughts aren’t on the same wavelength.”

“You talk about the front gate, and he’s on about the thigh bone.”

“At first you’re arguing about him lying, and as you argue, regardless of whether you’re right or wrong, it will end up being about his attitude.”

“Huo Tingxiao, that kind of staunch straight man, can only see black as black and white as white. If he were a bit more flexible, he wouldn’t have let you leave crying.”

Mu Lan nodded deeply, feeling the truth in the words.

“That’s right, initially I was really angry because Huo Tingxiao lied to me, but when I saw his attitude, I got even angrier, and then I focused all my attention on his attitude.”

Gu Xiaoman looked at her with an expression that said you really are still a newbie and kept talking:

“So you see, this is being irrational and immature. A woman, there’s no harm in being a bit difficult—being a little difficult can be charming; being too difficult can hurt both yourself and others.”

“Managing a man is like flying a kite—you can’t hold on too tight or too loose; you need to find the right balance.”

“Next time something like this happens, let yourself cool down first. Whether it’s a life-or-death situation, you need to understand what really happened before jumping to conclusions.”

Mu Lan turned tears into laughter, looking at Gu Xiaoman with undeniable admiration.

“Teacher Gu, I truly have learned a lot. What you say does make sense.”

“So do you feel better now?”

“Not bad, but there’s one thing I don’t understand: Before the divorce, why did I draft such a divorce agreement? It was almost like walking away with nothing.

Maybe I just wanted to get the divorce over with quickly, so I gave in.

Or maybe…”

Gu Xiaoman looked at her, her eyes gradually filling with horror.

“Mu Lan, hold your horses, you don’t think that…”
