Chapter 887: Chapter 887: In the End, It’s Still a Mindset Problem
Wen Siyuan sighed deeply: "I told you before, jealousy can easily make people lose their reason, make people become unbearably ugly. I’m not just saying this casually. I don’t want you to become unrecognizable to even yourself one day, turning into someone everyone dislikes the moment they see you."
"Su Man, you’re not a child; you’re an adult, even a mother. You have to set an example for the kids. Don’t let jealousy blind your mind, causing trouble out of nothing, constantly acting out, and failing to pursue improvement to become outstanding. Instead, you keep focusing on someone better than you in a negative light."
"Are you jealous of Comrade Luo?"
Originally intending to say "Luo Yanqing", but for some reason, Su Man found it hard to say it out loud.
"Yes, I am jealous."
Wen Siyuan nodded: "He is so outstanding. Including me, there are many people jealous of him, but what can that do? Besides our jealousy, we also admire him! Because even if we tried our hardest, we couldn’t keep up with Comrade Luo Yanqing’s pace!"
"..."
Su Man was silent for a long time, muttering: "But I just can’t stand her being better than me, and she’s better in every aspect. I feel she is my nemesis, and her presence is there to antagonize me. The more I think about how good she is, the more unsettled I become, and it just drives me crazy."
"Mindset, at the end of the day, it’s still a mindset issue."
Wen Siyuan pointed at the bowl of scallion egg noodles he had placed on the dressing table: "Remember to eat, then think carefully about whether to take the college entrance exam again."
"...No."
After a slight hesitation, Su Man gave her answer, then said: "I’m afraid I won’t do as well as I did this time."
Wen Siyuan nodded slightly: "I understand."
"Do you... really think there’s a big gap between you and Comrade Luo?"
"Yes."
"Can’t you surpass him?"
"I don’t know... but I always strive hard."
"I also want to strive and improve, but I can’t play the erhu, nor play the piano... now even the college entrance exam scores have been left far behind by the neighbor. Do you think she is just that capable?"
The "she" that Su Man mentioned was undoubtedly referring to Kang Li.
Wen Siyuan: "Talent, some people not only have high intelligence but are also naturally gifted in certain areas. Comrade Kang might be one of those people!"
"That Song Xuan, he belongs to the category of smart and talented people, right?"
Su Man met Wen Siyuan’s gaze, biting her lip, she said: "When I just married you, I often heard in the courtyard that the grandson of the director’s family was a fool. But ever since that neighbor came to this courtyard, the director’s grandson gradually changed,
not only learning to play the erhu in a short time but also winning first place in a musical instrument competition... and this time in the college entrance exam, his score was even far above mine. With that neighbor and Song Xuan to compare to, I’m really upset, feeling how could I be outdone by someone who used to be... a fool..."
She didn’t finish before being interrupted by Wen Siyuan: "Enough! Song Xuan wasn’t foolish back then. The child was diagnosed with a condition called ’autism,’ which manifests in daily life as living in their own world, fearing external communication, and facing some language barriers, but that doesn’t mean the child has an intelligence problem.
In fact, as you’ve seen, Song Xuan is not only smart but also has a natural talent for instruments. It’s best if you don’t say things like you did just now, otherwise, if the director’s couple hears it, it would be bad for both you and me."
Su Man glared: "Why are you so harsh? Can’t I just admit I was wrong?!"
