Chapter 195: Comforting Xiao Feng

Xiao Feng still wouldn't forgive Ye Jianming.

She said everything Ye Jianming had done to wrong her.

Ye Jianming's face flushed red then turned pale.

He could only smile bitterly, keep begging Xiao Feng, speaking softly.

I and Xiao Fang stood in the room, feeling awkward, not knowing how to persuade.

Xiao Fang looked at me and let me go persuade Xiao Feng.

I wasn't in a hurry; Ye Jianming's attitude just now made me very angry.

Xiao Feng dampening his arrogance is good.

I thought to myself, this is the benefit of an old husband and young wife.

But this matter can't keep being argued; otherwise, if we really make Ye Jianming angry, what if he doesn't invest the 8 million? What if he drops the project and returns to Hainan?

I still can't start work at Qi He Mine.

All my plans will be disrupted.

I really hope Ye Jianming invests, so that we'll be bound together with Ye Jianming.

Then he could think of a way to contact Zaocheng Mining Group.

I currently have no ability.

I just can't act like that; I just want to hold a majority share, so then I'll have a say in major matters at Qi He Mine.

I must step forward.

I said to Xiao Fang: "Xiao Fang, Ye Ge just said he's hungry; take him out for a bowl of mutton soup."

Xiao Fang naturally understood what that meant.

She hurriedly said to Ye Jianming: "Ye Ge, not far from here there's a place that serves delicious mutton soup; let's go try it."

Ye Jianming went along with it, saying: "Really, good, Xiao Fang, I'm really hungry; then you two chat, I'll go with Xiao Fang first to have a bowl of mutton soup."

After saying that, Ye Jianming followed Xiao Fang out the door.

Once Ye Jianming left,

Xiao Feng wailed and burst into tears again.

As if she had suffered a great injustice.

After Xiao Feng cried for a while, I gently patted her shoulder.

"All right, Xiao Feng, don't cry. Actually men are like that, there's nothing you can do; you and Old Ye have no children. His ex-wife's side hasn't been contacted either, his children have already graduated from college, so he naturally wants to communicate more with his own children. Because he's old, he'll feel that children are more important than anything."

Hearing me say that, Xiao Feng cried even harder.

While crying, she said,

"His Old Ye has children, I have none; what am I to do, what will I do in my old age? I truly regret it. I want to divorce him; I won't live with him anymore."

"Back when you married Ye Jianming, Zhou Wei and I advised you to think it over, but you wouldn't listen; now what's the use of regretting?"

"What can regretting solve?"

"After all, you're more than ten years apart in age; he's over sixty, you're only over forty."

"An old husband and young wife—this kind of life is just beginning."

"Xiao Feng, don't cry. This is fate; since you've chosen it, accept it."

I comforted Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng cried for a while then stopped, wiping her eyes with a tissue.

With red eyes, she said: "I don't dislike his age; I dislike that he hides everything from me."

"His mouth is full of lies."

"He swore in front of me that he would not contact his ex-wife's son."

"But as soon as we arrived in Zaocheng, his ex-wife's call came."

"I have tolerated him for a long time along the way."

"And he hid another 8 million."

"He's simply not on the same page as me. Thinking about this, I feel so heartbroken; being with him is not worth it."

"Are you jealous? Jealous of Ye Jianming's ex-wife?" I asked directly.

"What do I have to be jealous about? What does that old woman have that I could be jealous of?" Xiao Fang said angrily.

"If you're not jealous, why are you crying? What do you have to cry about? Really." I said to Xiao Feng.

"I'm just psychologically unbalanced; he must listen to me on everything. He can't hide anything from me." Xiao Feng said domineeringly.

"If you listen to everything you say, then have you hidden anything from him?" I asked Xiao Feng.

"I've never hidden anything from him. He shouldn't treat me like this." Xiao Feng wiped her tears again.

"Last time you came, did you see Wei Dongqing and talk to Old Ye?" I looked at Xiao Feng and said.

"What's the point of talking to him about these things? Really." Xiao Feng said.

"Then Ye Jianming also has the right not to tell you about his affairs with his ex-wife; do you understand? Matters between husband and wife are equal."

"Do you say that's right, Xiao Feng?"

"Some things shouldn't be overdone."

"Old Ye is at this age; he definitely doesn't have the passion he used to. Thinking about his ex-wife and children is normal."

"Don't ask him."

"This is my suggestion."

"Really, if you keep asking like this, you'll suffer too, and he'll feel uncomfortable."

"Xiao Feng, even without children, you could consider adopting one. Look, Yang Tao took Xia Yuan's daughter; this Ya Ya follows her and calls her mother."

Actually, with that much money in your hand, life is far more wonderful than ordinary people's; why worry about this trivial matter? Look far ahead; in a few years, you'll find some things will be really laughable." I said to Xiao Feng, looking at her earnestly.

After Xiao Feng heard me finish speaking,

she did not immediately refute me,

she kept turning the teacup in her hand without speaking,

After a while, she then said: "Brother Jianqiang, you're right. I just like listening to you speak; what you say makes sense."

"You're too good at persuading people; I need to look far ahead. Yes, regarding the child's matter, I'll figure it out myself. I can't keep spending time on him all the time. Now I feel much better in my heart."

"I'm no longer feeling anxious."

"If you can think like that, it's right, Xiao Feng; look forward and everything will be fine. I'm now like this: the Da Heng Group is gone, my son is gone, my home is gone, my wife has become a vegetative person,"

"if it were you, you'd still be crazy."

After I finished speaking, Xiao Feng let out a sigh,

"\"Alas, Jianqiang, you've suffered so much—you left your mother as a child, and when you grew up you experienced things ordinary people can't imagine; I never thought that even in middle age you'd still have no peace."

"I understand; this is what life is like—life is a sea of suffering. Okay, let's not talk about him; let's discuss the matter of Qi He Mine."

Upon hearing Xiao Feng say that,

I then stuck out my thumb,

"\"Xiao Feng, your insight like that is not bad—life is a sea of suffering. Haha, we've spent our whole lives living in that sea of suffering."

"Only by living like this can life be rich and colorful."

"Although it's bitter, what we hope for are blessings."

"Regarding the Qi He Mine, Lao Ye holds half the shares, also 8 million; to prevent my having no decision‑making power over major matters at the mine, I let Lao Ye take 49%, and he agreed."

"From now on, the management of the Qi He Mine will be handed over to Lao Ye and you. I'm currently not in a position to appear publicly."

"Also, in a moment you should prepare a contract, have it signed, and let Xiao Fang sign it; my current status would make my signature ineffective."

"Instead, it would only bring bad results."

"Xiao Feng directly asked me: \"What's your relationship with this Xiao Fang? Why do you trust her so much? Is she your lover? Behind Zhou Wei's back you've found another woman. \""

"I shook my head and said: \"Xiao Feng, don't think of me that way."

"\"I'm not that kind of person,"

"\"Look at Xiao Fang—she's much younger than me; she calls me uncle."

"\"I have a very deep friendship with her father; it was her family who rescued me."

"\"I'm able to sit here and talk with you now mainly because of them. Xiao Fang and I really have nothing between us; you don't need to overthink it. Having her sign the contract is unavoidable."
