Chapter 515: Misunderstanding

After I finished speaking, Li Ming suddenly burst into a hearty laugh,

"Brother, what do you mean? If I wanted your stuff, I would have taken it long ago; why wait until now?"

You think too little of me, Li Ming.

I'm just taking back what's rightfully mine.

On what grounds did they arbitrarily arrest me,

detain me,

now that nothing's left, they released me,

so who will compensate my losses?

Brother, do you understand what I'm saying?

I'm not asking you for money, nor for a house.

I just can't figure out what's going on here,

Did we win? We won.

But after the victory, we discovered what the damn thing actually was.

There was nothing, and nothing came back.

My demands aren't high; giving me a position would be fine, but damn, it's impossible to even think of returning to work at the unit.

"What is this about?" Li Ming shouted, looking at me.

It seems Li Ming hasn't moved on yet; he believes that after victory, everything lost will return.

But, unexpectedly, nothing came back.

This victory holds no meaning for him.

I looked at Li Ming, feeling a bit anxious,

wondering how I should soothe Li Ming.

"Li Ming, I understand what you mean. To be honest, I've met Tian Shi recently. He said that the past is past, so let's not bring it up again."

Otherwise we'd just cause trouble for them.

Have you ever thought,

your status is only a temporary release.

They didn't say you're released without guilt.

If this keeps escalating, you might be taken back directly.

Brother, will you listen to me?

Isn't it good that the whole family is reunited now?

You want to work in Zaocheng Xin Cheng; you won't have to worry about housing or a job, and you want to return to Niushiling.

I've already had Shi Jinhe build a villa in Niushiling.

My next step is to settle in Niushiling,

my mother has also gone back.

When Zhou Wei's health recovers, I plan to take them away.

That's all I can do at the moment,

These are my plans.

Beyond that, there's nothing else; to be frank about Da Heng Group, I've already given it to them as a bargaining chip.

Wen Han can't be busy for nothing. The people of Sijiucheng only act when there's profit.

Wen Han wants me to be the White Glove.

I didn't want to, so I let Zhao Xiaohua take the role.

Next, I'll take Zhao Xiaohua to Sijiucheng to meet Wen Han.

In the past, the entire Da Heng Group belonged to them; it truly has nothing to do with me.

I'm not lying about any of this; believe it or not.

Today I investigated the cause of Shangguan Zhuren's death,

sigh, I've already located the tomb where Shangguan Zhuren was buried.

I also performed a tribute.

Li Ming, we are still alive,

and can still see the victory.

But what about Shangguan Zhuren?

Have you ever considered what they wanted by helping me.

They even risked their own life.

Shangguan Zhuren has already stepped back to a secondary role; there's nothing that needs to be asked about.

However, when he heard about me, he unhesitatingly wanted to help me.

Really,

Such gratitude is something I could never repay in my whole life.

We won, and everyone who should be captured was, but Shangguan Zhuren is already buried underground.

By your words, this victory is damn meaningless.

Shangguan Zhuren is dead; whether we win or not, he can't know.

But Li Ming, do you know,

We won; we told the news to Shangguan Zhuren, and even down there he would feel at peace and be glad.

He thought his death was worthwhile.

His death was for our victory.

Otherwise, what meaning would his death have?

We have won, so everything has meaning.

Being alive and safe is worth celebrating.

I say these things, you might not feel it,

You go to the funeral home to have a look, go to the cemetery to have a look, and you'll know.

Actually, have you thought about it? In the human world, besides life and death, everything else is trivial.

Today I saw a family in the funeral home who had a car accident on the road, all dead,

That is called tragic.

The old and the young, all prepared for cremation.

Is this fair to them?

Not at all fair.

There's nothing we can do; that's just how things are in the world,

There is no eternal fairness.

Some things that happen to you, you must endure.

Li Ming, I believe you can definitely get through this difficulty.

We should go forward and backward,

In another ten years,

You will look back and discover that some things, as thought at the time, were really narrow-minded.

Li Ming, I have already said too much.

Regarding your matters, I have said what I should say and done what I should do.

I truly am powerless.

If you want to cause trouble, then go on causing trouble.

I also can't ask too much.

If you don't want to cause trouble, then go work at Da Heng Group.

Earn a salary easily, isn't that good?"

I finished speaking and looked at Li Ming.

I said all the words I could think of, all the words that should be said, once over,

I hope Li Ming can understand my heart.

I longed to hear Li Ming say: "Okay, I understand, I won't cause trouble, I'll go to work at Da Heng Group tomorrow. When I have free time, I'll go back to Niushiling to see our mom."

But after I finished speaking,

Li Ming remained silent, saying nothing,

After a while,

Only Li Ming's voice was heard,

He hummed once, gave two cold laughs.

Then he left my room.

That laugh was so cold it directly stabbed my heart.

I know what Li Ming's cold laugh means.

He doesn't believe me,

He thinks I never looked into his matters at all; I'm just everywhere considering Da Heng Group, considering myself.

I could only sigh and shake my head,

I had intended to direct my heart toward the bright moon, but the bright moon shines into the ditch.

I lay on my back on the bed,

My tears were about to flow out,

This is the pain of being misunderstood,

This kind of pain cannot yet be explained, and no one believes it.

Misunderstandings often come from the people closest to oneself, yet they wound the deepest.

Zhao Xiaohua has done so many things sorry to me in the past, I have never suffered this much.

Sun Dajun has dealt with me, I only got angry, I have never suffered this much.

I can't cry; crying is useless.

Who am I,

I am Zhao Jianqiang.

Can such a small matter torment me?

That is simply ridiculous.

As for misunderstanding, let it be left to time; believe that time will prove everything.

Li Ming's own affairs, just let him go his own way to the dark end.

Then, when he hits the south wall, he bumps his head until it hurts.

Then he will turn back.

Thinking of this, my heart feels much more relieved.

I looked at the time on my phone,

It was already past ten at night.

I decided to go alone to the night market downstairs to get something to eat.

Just alone,

After coming back from the funeral home, my mood was bad,

Shi Yong also left, and I didn't want to eat anything.

But after Li Ming came,

His sarcastic remarks toward me actually made me hungry.

When hungry, I go eat; when sleepy, I go sleep; I don't care if the sky falls tomorrow.

I whistled a little tune as I went downstairs.

Now it's the last heat of summer; after another week, it will be the start of autumn.

The weather won't be as hot as it is now.

I walked out of the Zaocheng Grand Hotel alone,

Strolling leisurely down the street,

This sense of ease is something others have never experienced.

In the past year, I haven't had a single comfortable day.

After the car accident, in order to save the Da Heng Group, I racked my brains every day, scheming this and dealing with that; the result was that the Da Heng Group changed hands.

Hehe,

After the Da Heng Group changed hands, to take revenge and to avoid being caught,

I endured countless sleepless nights,

Living in a state of oppression; I felt completely crushed.

Now this ease is what victory bought; isn't it worth it?

Can Li Ming not feel it?

Can he not comprehend it?

He doesn't enjoy such good days; what is he thinking?

Ah, words fail to express it.
