Chapter 494: Chapter 237: The Essence of Korean Dance

Huh?

Sun Jialin’s words startled Gu Wanqing.

’How should I put this... It’s crude, but you have a point. Still, did you have to be *that* crude about it?’

Gu Wanqing’s face flushed red. Usually good-tempered, she now felt a surge of resentment. She glared at Sun Jialin and rejected her proposal in one breath.

"No!"

"Then I’ll just have to leak what’s going on between you and Lin Shen."

Sun Jialin held all the cards in this conversation, so she wasn’t in any hurry. She leisurely crossed her arms.

"You wouldn’t want our counselor to lose her job because of you, would you?"

"..."

Gu Wanqing pressed her lips together, her beautiful eyes glaring at Sun Jialin. Being threatened like this made her feel incredibly wronged and helpless.

Aaargh!

’I never should have kissed Lin Shen today... What a mess!’

’Not only did I get caught, but now I’m being blackmailed over it!’

Although Gu Wanqing was furious, she didn’t dare defy Sun Jialin.

If this got out, it would very likely affect Jiang Wan’s reputation and her job!

After all, everyone at Shanghai International Studies University knew that Jiang Wan’s boyfriend was her own "brother," Lin Shen.

If word got out now that Lin Shen wasn’t her brother, and that she even had an incredibly intimate relationship with him...

The consequences would be unimaginable!

After a period of tormented deliberation, Gu Wanqing suddenly deflated like a punctured ball, slumping onto the stool with a vacant look in her eyes.

Sun Jialin kept her eyes fixed on her, as if waiting for her answer.

Finally, Gu Wanqing asked bleakly.

"What do you want me to do?"

"It’s simple."

Seeing Gu Wanqing give in, Sun Jialin breathed a sigh of relief, a flicker of delight even crossing her face.

"Just help me get closer to Lin Shen."

"Aren’t you already familiar with Lin Shen?"

"Not enough."

Sun Jialin was a very greedy girl. Once she set her sights on something, she had to have it!

"I want to take my relationship with Lin Shen to the next level."

"How do you mean, ’to the next level’?"

"The same way you did. Kissing, or perhaps..."

Sun Jialin’s expression was as calm and indifferent as ever, but the words that passed her red lips were explosive.

"I’ll use my body to keep Lin Shen."

Gu Wanqing’s eyes widened in utter disbelief.

After all, they had spent so much time together. Though they had only known each other for half a month, she felt she already had a good grasp of Sun Jialin’s personality.

She was a girl with a strong personality, incredibly proud.

She had to be number one in everything, holding her head high with the solitary arrogance of a white swan, almost never bowing or yielding to anyone.

You could tell just from the way she dressed.

Her style leaned toward that of a South Korean idol—black stockings and short skirts. Her outfits were sexy and bold, and she was completely unafraid of the gossip around her, flaunting her figure even when people pointed and stared.

That was why Gu Wanqing found Sun Jialin’s suggestions so unbelievable.

’Why would such a proud white swan bow her head and submit to Lin Shen?’

’Even trying to use a physical relationship to win him over!’

’This is so wrong!’

Gu Wanqing tilted her head slightly, finally voicing the question she had been holding back for so long.

"Linlin, why are you so fixated on Lin Shen? You could obviously live a great, free life without needing a man..."

"Because I have to plan for my future," Sun Jialin said softly.

The more mature and proud a girl was, the better she understood the logic of how society worked.

And as someone who had followed South Korean celebrities since she was young, Sun Jialin was very familiar with the dealings between the South Korean entertainment industry and its chaebols.

Therefore, coming from a small town, she knew very well that for someone like her with no power or influence, it would be difficult to get ahead with just the resources at her immediate disposal.

Even with the advantages of her looks and figure, without a powerful background, these assets would only make her a plaything for men.

So, Sun Jialin decided to strike first and gain the upper hand!

’Since men are going to covet my looks and body sooner or later, I might as well use these advantages early on to acquire the resources to escape my social class!’

And Lin Shen was the best choice!

First, he was young and handsome.

Even if she had to sleep with him one day, Sun Jialin could accept it.

After all, compared to those pot-bellied, greasy, middle-aged men, she far preferred the idea of sleeping with a handsome guy like Lin Shen.

Second, Lin Shen was very capable. He was incredibly talented in both business and life in general.

In his early twenties, he was already a first-generation entrepreneur who had started his own company and was worth tens of millions.

His potential for future growth was simply unimaginable!

So, compared to successful middle-aged men in their fifties, Sun Jialin was much more willing to bet on a young man with potential.

Of course, there was the risk he could go bankrupt, but she was willing to take that gamble. More importantly, she could afford to lose.

Third, and most crucially, Sun Jialin could see that Lin Shen held absolute power in his relationships with women.

Both Gu Wanqing and Jiang Wan revolved around him.

Therefore, even if she became his mistress, she wouldn’t have to worry about the "main" girlfriend coming after her.

When a man holds an absolute position of power in a relationship, the other women involved will first consider how to de-escalate the situation and minimize the impact on the man before dealing with the issue itself.

In conclusion, Sun Jialin was absolutely certain that Lin Shen was a man she could rely on.

But she certainly couldn’t tell Gu Wanqing any of this, so she could only summarize her thoughts in a single sentence.

"I can achieve a comfortable life on my own, but I’m not satisfied with the status quo. Do you understand?"
