什么？我成了他的女朋友。他不喜欢人家姑娘直说就是，何必要拉出我来挡剑？
The mhter left unhappily, ahey were gone, Gu Xiaely pinched his hand to make him feel pain.
那母女二人很不高兴地离开了，待他们离开后，顾湘特意在他拉着她的手上使劲，让他疼，疼死你！
However, his expression remained unged. Seeiay, Gu Xiang 't hold bad jumped before Yuan Suqing.
但是他依然面不改色，看到那二人走远了，顾湘再也忍不住跳到了袁素清面前。
"Yuan Suqing, is this how you treat an old classmate? If you're ed i say so! Why did you have to put on this act?"
“袁素清，有你这么个坑老同学的吗？你看不上人家直说就是，为什么还要来这一出？”
"Gu Xiang, don't be angry. As you see, my hometown is impoverished and backward. I'm the oh a postgraduate degree, so they've exaggerated my abilities and made me seem like a miraany people who have some e from the past are trying to marry their daughters to me. If I refuse oher will e. It's never-ending, and every refusal means offending someone. "
“顾湘，你别生气，我这家乡你也看到了，非常的贫穷落后，我现在是他们中的唯一一个拿到了研究生学历的，所以他们夸大了我的能力，把我传得非常不靠谱，简直是神乎其神，还有有不少以前有些交情的人把女儿送到我面前来，你说我拒绝了这一家，又有那一家来了，这拒绝得是没完没了的呀，况且拒绝了一人就多得罪了一人。”
"Even though I've achieved a little bit, I still o maintaiions here. Besides, you said it yourself—you're a stranger here, and any gossip wo you. So, e this favor?"
我虽然有了那么一点点成就，那也还是要认根的呀，你说我把这些人全部得罪了，那我还能好到哪里去吗？再说你不是说了吗？你在这里人生地不熟，没有人认识你，有任何的闲言碎语都对你没有任何影响嘛！就算是帮我一个忙好吗？”
"You…" Gu Xiang eechless. "So you wa a girlfriend to take home for the home ?"
“你”顾湘无语了，顾湘真的无语了。“你这是想租个女友回家过年呀？”
"Exactly, I wa o I don't know if she'd be willing!"
“对对，我是想租，可是不知道人家愿不愿意呀！”
"I'm quite expensive, you know."
“我可是很贵的。”
"All the expe eating, living and playing, as while you're here will be on me. Plus, I'll reimburse you for your transportation and phone bills."
“吃喝拉撒，衣食住行，娱乐游玩等等在这的一切消费全部算我身上，还有……来去车费，电话费等全部报销。”

Logically, you should be eveihe average person. With this kind of spending, you'll eventually bee a spendthrift and ruin your fortune."
“你…袁素清，你没病吧？有钱也不至于这样烧，不是说越有钱的人越小气吗？像你这样白手起家，无依无靠打拼下来的家业有多么地不容易呀，按理说你应该比正常人更抠才是，像你这样花钱大手大脚迟早成败家子。”
“伯母，方儿是个好姑娘，可是你看我已经有女朋友了。”
