WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“You haven't helped me at all, so stop pretending to be my savior.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Rejecting Favor-Debt (Renqing)

In Chinese interpersonal dynamics, accepting that someone 'helped' you incurs a social debt (renqing). Vehemently denying help was rendered is a direct way to reject mutual obligation and assert autonomy.
