Chapter 851

At that moment Qian Niang said, "I truly hope you can let go, Jianqiang; mother understands you."

You definitely won't be able to talk with Li Ming now.

Because you can't lower your pride.

He has hurt you too deeply.

Alright then, if I can meet Li Ming, I'll persuade him to admit his mistake to you.

As long as you two brothers can speak, everything will be easy to handle.

Mother's worries are gone.

Hearing Qian Niang say that, I didn't feel like saying anything else.

Just as Qian Niang said, Li Ming has hurt me too deeply,

I already have a strong rebellious feeling toward him in my heart.

I simply don't want to talk to him.

Seeing my silence,

Qian Niang could only let out a long sigh.

At that moment Qiao Jie pushed the door open and stood in the doorway,

"Qian Niang, I want to say a few words to Jianqiang."

"Qiao Jie, come in and speak," Qian Niang said.

After Qiao Jie entered, she glanced at me,

"Jianqiang, I ask you, who is this woman?"

Don't ask her.

"She is Li Jia; didn't I introduce her to you? She is the head of the Zaocheng Tourism Bureau. What's the matter?" I said a bit impatiently.

"Er Hai, how are you speaking to Qiao Jie? Listen to your tone; it's not at all patient.

Didn't I tell you? Either bring a woman home. Sigh, you just don't listen," Qian Niang criticized.

Listening to

I quickly changed my tone and said to Qiao Jie, "Qiao Jie, you don't need to worry. She and I only have a work relationship. We are together in Huaihai, and happened to pass by here on the way back.

You also don't ask much.

Mother, what's wrong with me? I will definitely

"That's fine, I'm just looking out for you on behalf of Zhou Wei, so you don't go astray. Sorry to Zhou Wei who is sleeping on the bed," Qiao Jie said, looking at me.

"Er Hai, Qiao Jie also means well.

Alright then, let's go out to talk; this room isn't suitable for these conversations; the deities would get angry if they heard," Qian Niang said, standing up.

I went out together with Qian Niang.

Arriving at the living room outside,

Qiao Jie quickly poured me a glass of water,

"Jianqiang, there's something; I want to discuss it with you."

"Go ahead," I took the cup.

"Here's the situation: Da Jun is about to come out, and I want you to accompany me to receive him," Qiao Jie said, then looked at Qian Niang again.

"Er Hai, we must go. Da Jun has been inside for two years,

now he's out; as his father, how can I not go to receive him?" Qian Niang said.

"Mother, I'll go. Qiao Jie, tell me the exact time later. I can take you with me; not only I go, Xiao Shitou also needs to go," I said.

Hearing me say that, Qiao Jie smiled,

"Jianqiang, I heard you're busy developing a tourism project in Xue County; look, can Da Jun work with you later? After all, he's your son."

"If he comes out without a job, I'm worried he'll cause trouble again."

"This matter, I've already considered it. I also discussed it with Xiao Shitou, and he agreed to let Da Jun follow us and work."

"Because the newly established company now has Xiao Shitou as the legal person, for some matters I also need to ask him."

"Xiao Shitou is truly a good child," Qian Niang said at this moment.

"That's good, I have no worries now. Da Jun is a single‑minded child,

if it weren't for that stinky woman, how would he have ended up like this."

"Jianqiang, I ask you, I heard that stinky woman became the chairperson of Da Heng Group,

is that true?" Qiao Jie asked angrily.

"Don't ask about the stinky woman she mentioned; it's Kang Yali."

Qiao Jie already hates Kang Yali to the bone,

Sun Dajun's imprisonment is Kang Yali's doing.

"Yes, that's correct. Kang Yali became the chairperson of Da Heng Group," I said, taking a sip of water.

"Er Hai, how can that woman become chairperson?" Qian Niang asked, not understanding.

How then should we explain it to them?

Tell them about Liu Yong's matter, tell them about Kang Yali's past,

These things really don't need to be explained to them in detail.

I set the tea cup down,

"Qian Niang, Qiao Jie, how should I tell you these matters?"

Kang Yali's becoming chairperson of Da Heng Group has a reason.

There are people behind her supporting her; they are people we do not provoke.

Anyway, Da Heng Group has nothing to do with us anymore. We won't ask about this matter either.

"There's someone behind this, right? Someone even more formidable than the Wen Family." Qian Niang asked.

I nodded.

Qian Niang then fell silent and said nothing more.

Wen Han could come to Niushiling to seize them; someone even more formidable than Wen Han is conceivable.

Qiao Jie said,

"I'm not afraid, no matter who's behind this,

Jianqiang, you just tell me to go tear that bitch woman, and I'll go right away."

Anyway, I hate her to death.

Our Da Jun was such a good kid, and she tricked him into becoming like this.

If it weren't for this woman, Da Heng Group wouldn't have run into trouble.

Hmph, it's all because of that bitch woman.

Qiao Jie, isn't our life good enough now? I've already said Da Heng Group has nothing to do with us; we shouldn't provoke her, and everyone should just live their own lives.

Qiao Jie, the past is past.

You too shouldn't keep holding it in your heart.

After Da Jun gets out, follow me and work.

We guys can still carve out a path.

Mom, you agree, right?" I said, looking at Qian Niang and Qiao Jie.

Er Hai, that's right, Qiao Jie, you shouldn't keep cursing people all day.

Actually, it takes two to clap; Da Jun also made mistakes.

After Da Jun comes out, don't keep bringing this up again; if he hears it and gets upset, then goes to look for them, it'll cause big trouble." Qian Niang said to Qiao Jie.

Qian Niang, I understand, but I just can't let it go—what are you talking about?

In the past, she and I fought over a man; now she and I are fighting over a son.

Well, these two—one went to prison, the other ran away.

They got their hands on Da Heng Group.

Jianqiang, I just can't swallow this anger." Qiao Jie said, her eyes reddening.

Alright, Qiao Jie, you're bringing up the past again, aren't you?

It's all rotten old grain. What's the point of bringing it up again? What's there that you can't swallow,

If you can't swallow it, you still have to." I said angrily.

Er Hai, you're losing your temper with Qiao Jie again. If you keep this up, Mom will get angry." Qian Niang quickly stood beside Qiao Jie.

No, Mom, what Qiao Jie said is making me anxious." I took out a cigarette.

What's there to be anxious about? Isn't what Qiao Jie said correct?

You too need to reflect properly.

Qiao Jie, those things are all in the past. You shouldn't bring them up again.

Especially after Da Jun gets out, what if he really wants revenge?" Qian Niang advised Qiao Jie.

Mom, I understand.

You're still right, as you always say—for Da Jun's sake, I'll swallow this anger. Alright, Jianqiang, don't be angry; I won't mention those things anymore." Qiao Jie said, wiping her tears with a tissue from the table.

At that moment, Li Jia came out from another room,

"Mr. Zhao, let's go."

"You've rested well." I looked at Li Jia and asked.

"I've rested well." Li Jia said.

"Alright, let's go." I stood up.

"Don't forget, later we'll go together to pick up Da Jun." Qiao Jie repeated.

"I won't forget, don't worry. Mom, we're leaving." I said, then bade farewell to Qian Niang.

Qian Niang stood up and saw me and Li Jia to the door.

I waved at Qian Niang and Qiao Jie, then walked out of the alley.

Once outside, Li Jia started the car,

I got into the car.

Li Jia asked,

"Mr. Zhao, your Qian Niang is quite amiable—what is Qiao Jie to you?"

"Ex-wife." I replied.

"Oh." Li Jia then said nothing more.
