Chapter 526: Getting Ready to See Sun Dajun

After Qian Niang heard me finish speaking,

she frowned and looked at me,

"Er Hai, what does this mean? How come I didn't understand it.

Based on your character, I trust you. You're not a reckless person.

Bringing this woman back makes things complicated. And you also have to show her—show her what."

Hearing Qian Niang ask like that,

I gave a wry smile and shook my head,

"Mother, you know, some people don't believe—your son, they think I haven't given up my thoughts on the Da Heng Group.

They will definitely make moves behind the scenes.

But they can't see it.

They can only let one person get close to me,

and then follow me to see what I'm actually doing in Zaocheng.

to see whether my claim of retiring in Niushiling is true.

I can't not keep this woman by my side now,

in order to make them believe me.

Mother, I have no choice either. I had to bring this woman back from Sijiucheng. No matter what others say, Mother, please believe me,

I'm certainly not someone who acts recklessly."

After Qian Niang heard me finish, she nodded,

"Er Hai, Mother, I know it's hard for you; you gave up the Da Heng Group, yet they still won't let you go and have sent a woman to spy on you.

But you simply have no way to explain what's going on here.

You can't tell everyone that your relationship with her is pure.

Now you're also tarnishing your own reputation, for self‑preservation.

Mother, there's another thing I can't figure out: you've clearly abandoned the Da Heng Group, so why don't they believe it?"

"Mother, why don't they believe? You have to know I founded the Da Heng Group single‑handedly.

For the Da Heng Group, I can say I poured all my heart into it.

In their perception, how could I easily give it up?

If I gave it up, then fighting the Zhou Family would have no meaning.

They simply don't understand me,

the Da Heng Group is already a thing of the past.

I truly have abandoned it.

Just as you always say,

Why live to fight for those things? Sometimes, giving up is the best choice for oneself.

I believe time will prove everything. This woman won't stay here long,

once she sees that I've truly let go and am content with a pastoral life,

then she'll go back."

After Qian Niang heard me, she nodded.

【7】 "Er Hai, Mother understands, fine, no need to explain further.

Er Hai, mother understands, fine, no need to explain.

This matter is also unavoidable.

Then from now on, just live honestly in Niushiling."

"Mother, I'm not honest; where could I go?

Now I can only be honest: stay with you, retire in Niushiling," I said with a smile.

Qian Niang asked about Li Ming again,

and I told Qian Niang.

After Qian Niang heard me finish, she sighed: "Since I came to Niushiling, Li Ming hasn't called me even once.

That kid is still holding a grudge against me."

Hearing Qian Niang say that, I also felt angry at my brother Li Ming.

During those days Qian Niang was away, he didn't even make a single call.

I said, "Later I'll talk to Li Ming and ask him to come to Niushiling to see you."

Qian Niang shook her head: "It would be fine if he came to Niushiling; Li Ming said that returning now would be disgraceful for Niushiling.

Who threw this. Li Ming saying that is wrong, we'll build a house when we come back, I feel that at Niushiling my mood is not bad.

"What kind of disgrace is that? Li Ming's words are wrong. When we come back we'll just build a house; I feel fine here in Niushiling."

If he is still Bureau Chief now, try it. No need to ask; he'll definitely follow and show off.

"He just needs to have a view like yours, Li

Jianqiang became a problem by being a Bureau Chief.

If he's still a Bureau Chief now, just try it. No need to ask; he'll definitely follow and show off.

Now he doesn't even have a public office, and when he meets

relatives and friends, he speaks without confidence.

His matters, let him handle them, hitting

the southern wall is better, Er Hai, don't ask him about it," Qian Niang said.

"Alas, brother Li Ming, can't figure out who

【61】 will become a lifelong leader. He, you know, has dug himself into a corner.

【62】 Mother, I care but I'm powerless about his affairs; I'm no longer the old Zhao Jianqiang," I sighed beside Qian Niang.

【63】 "Alright, Er Hai, being able to live peacefully is better than anything. Xiao Long, how's it going?" Qian Niang asked.

【64】 "Xiao Long is reviewing his lessons; the city is recruiting a batch of civil servants now. Xiao Long wants to apply for the exam," I said.

【65】 "Xiao Long, this kid is ambitious. I'm relieved, just waiting

【66】 for Xiao Long to get married. Tell Xiao Long that my house in Lanling is still

【67】 reserved for him,"

【68】 "Mother, Xiao Long is determined, I gave

【69】 him a house, but he refuses; he wants to buy his own," I said.

My foster mother heard me say that and gave me an approving look.

I chatted with my foster mother all the way until we ate lunch.

After the meal,

When Ru Meng wanted to go to Xin Cheng for fun, I had Shi Yong drive and take her and Xiao Yue there.

Qiao Jie came over at this time,

"Jianqiang, I want to tell you something: you promised me that we'd go together to check on Sun Dajun's situation.

When do you plan to go see him?"

Hearing Qiao Jie say that, I just remembered,

Sun Dajun is currently locked up in prison, and I have never seen him.

I said: "Qiao Jie, how about this, we'll return to Shanghu tomorrow.

I'll contact Xiao Shitou; Xiao Shitou also wants to go, after all, Big Jun is his brother."

"Xiao Shitou also wants to go, that's great. Sigh, Zhengzheng also went abroad, doesn't even call me. This kid no longer sees me as his mother," Qiao Jie muttered.

Zhengzheng has already gone abroad.

Ya Ling told me that he went to Woguo to study abroad.

This child has been constantly yearning, thinking of going to Woguo.

I didn't agree before, but later I understood.

The child should be supported in such a desire; letting him go out to see and learn is also good.

This way he will have no regrets.

But inside this child, there is no one.

He grew up with Qiao Jie when he was young.

Later he followed Ya Ling.

But after going out, he doesn't contact anyone.

I feel this child's emotional side is like his mother Hui Ling.

Back then, after Hui Ling gave birth to Zhengzheng, she threw Zhengzheng to my aunt and then never asked about him.

She never kept in touch with the family.

Until later, when Hui Min got into trouble, she returned.

This emotional aspect may truly be hereditary.

I've found that Zhengzheng is not close to anyone; everything seems indifferent.

I said to Qiao Jie: "Zhengzheng, this kid, when he's out there, has no contact with anyone.

This child is somewhat reclusive.

Forget it, don't think about him. Qiao Jie, tomorrow, we'll go back together to Shanghu.

Let's see Sun Dajun; I haven't seen him for a year, and I don't know how this kid's cultivation is progressing."

"What else can be done, sigh, Big Jun is basically done,

He served time in prison; after that, it's hard to find a daughter‑in‑law." Qiao Jie sighed.

"Qiao Jie, you're overthinking. How could that be? I myself served time in prison, and after getting out, I still founded Da Heng Group." I said with a smile.

"Who can compare to you? You have a way with women. In the past older women liked you, now younger women like you." Qiao Jie said deliberately.

"Nonsense. If we can't talk, then we won't talk." I was a bit angry.

"Getting angry again, did I say something wrong? Hmph, that woman Kang Yali, and the chaotic things that happened between you two, I get angry whenever I think of it.

If it weren't for Kang Yali, how would Sun Dajun have gone in? That woman deserves a bad death."

Qiao Jie again cast her resentment onto Kang Yali.

"Enough, Qiao Jie, Sun Dajun isn't without fault, is he? He committed few crimes? When I bring up this kid, I also get angry.

Qiao Jie, not all errors lie with others; Sun Dajun himself must bear the majority. If you don't have a clear understanding and think everything Sun Dajun did is right, this kid will inevitably cause trouble."
