Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime
Chapter 1319

Chapter 1319: Chapter 1319

Actually, everyone can talk about reasoning, but Jane McCain is feeling aggrieved, sad, and upset. She’s crying her eyes out, isolated and helpless, in need of someone to share her feelings of injustice with.

Once she’s done crying, has vented, and calmed down to think it over carefully, there are some truths that she might already know herself.

So Zara Jameson guided Ryan Wesley to perform a little skit with her.

Except, the performance didn’t quite turn out as expected.

"Did I talk about fish with you? Or bears? I said, people rarely possess both talents completely. If there are strengths, there must be weaknesses. If you employ the strengths to cover weaknesses, there will be no one in the world who cannot be used; if you criticize the weaknesses and abandon the strengths, there will be no one in the world who is not discarded. Moreover, feelings have love and hate, preferences vary, even if you are as wise as Yi or Zhou, as virtuous as Mo or Yang, seeking public opinion, who can be free of criticism or resentment?"

"I can’t memorize this..." Ryan Wesley had a bitter look on his face, "I didn’t even finish high school, isn’t this too hard for me..."

Strictly speaking, he really didn’t finish; halfway through, his uncle sent him to a military-style management school for training.

"I know you can’t memorize it, that’s why I explained it to you twice, right?" Zara Jameson asked him, "Twice, huh? Even if you can’t remember the whole text, at least remember a few keywords, okay?

Did you say a person has strengths, they also must have weaknesses?

Did you mention that you should use strengths to compensate for weaknesses without abandoning strengths because of weaknesses?"

Ryan Wesley said softly, "I think I might have mentioned it..."

Zara Jameson sneered, "Yeah, you mentioned it, and it turned into — if you like a bear’s thick fur, then you can’t be afraid of getting pricked by the hairs."

"As long as the meaning is about the same, it’s fine." Ryan Wesley turned his face awkwardly.

Zara Jameson was silent for a while and said, "You got drunk last night and said a lot of silly things when you got home."

"Huh?" Ryan Wesley was startled and turned to look at her, "What did I say?"

Zara Jameson smiled and said, "You said, ’Guys, you don’t know, I used to think I was getting myself a wife, now I realize, I actually got myself a homeroom teacher.’"

Ryan Wesley: "..."

A moment later, he struggled with a strong desire to survive, "It was just a joke made at the drinking table... don’t take it seriously..."

Zara Jameson’s smile was particularly gentle, "Look, I like your sunny and cheerful nature and wide social circle. So, when you and your friends go out drinking till late at night, I’ve never blamed you, have I?"

Ryan Wesley nodded honestly.

"I like your passionate, positive attitude towards life, living true to yourself. So, when you are impulsive, make mistakes, lack rational thinking, and don’t know how to flatter others, I’ve never blamed you, have I?"

Ryan Wesley nodded again.

"This is exactly the meaning of having strengths and weaknesses." Zara Jameson looked at him with encouraging eyes, "So, what do you think you should be doing?"

Ryan Wesley suddenly felt like crying, he lowered his head and resignedly said, "Zara is insightful and cultured, and sometimes she lectures me to help me improve. I shouldn’t focus on small shortcomings and ignore significant strengths, I should cherish happiness..."

"Very good." Zara Jameson smiled and leaned in to kiss him on the cheek, "Here’s a reward."

Phew...

Receiving the reward, Ryan Wesley felt a little better and turned his other cheek: "Scientific research proves that kissing only one side of the face for long periods can lead to facial asymmetry."

"Stop being cheeky." Zara Jameson pushed him up, "Hurry up and go back to bring me a change of clothes, and all my papers and materials, bring them all over."

Ryan Wesley asked, "You’re really staying here?"

"Staying for a couple of days to see how it goes, in case she cries again, at least there will be someone to hand her tissues."

"Alright..." Ryan Wesley said reluctantly, "Next time, I need to have a good chat with Mr. Rivera; disharmony in love affects social harmony and development..."

"Their affairs are for them to handle, you don’t interfere!"

"Okay..."
