Liu Min was embarra*sed and I didn’t understand the intention to embarra*s the young girl, so I said, “Call your cousin here and let’s talk.”
“Can ……”
“You’re still afraid we’ll get him in trouble, don’t be afraid, we don’t eat people.”
Liu Min probably remembered that Liu Hu had said I wasn’t a bad person, and looking at me I really wasn’t a bad person either, before he left with his money and card in fear, and after a while, Liu Hu came over with a toothpick in his mouth.
“It’s been a long time.” I said.
Liu Hu sat awkwardly across from us, and Chu Xiaoxiao didn’t have a good look for him, because Chu Xiaoxiao knew that it was Liu Hu who broke my hand that caused me to drop out of school and go into the army.
He rubbed his head, which had been shaved flat in prison, and said in a muffled voice, “It’s been quite a while, you’re doing well now.”
I said coldly, “I’m not going to beat around the bush, so I’m going to ask you directly why you helped me just now. If it was because you wanted to ask me for help, I advise you to forget about it before it’s too late. The feud between us is not something you can resolve with a few words. But I don’t like to owe people anything either, so if you help me once, I’ll pay you back a sum of money.”
Some people may think that I am too cold and too calculating about the past in this way. I just want to say that such people have no idea what I’ve been through and just casually advise me to be forgiving. This is the kind of person I’m afraid will get struck by lightning if he’s too fond of pretending on a rainy day.
I could never reconcile with Liu Hu and become friends, if that were to happen, I would be a complete idiot.
“Zhang Chao, I don’t want to beg you for anything, nor do I want to reconcile with you.”
When Liu Hu heard me say that, he stood up with a long sigh.
This confused me, how could he possibly help me?
He and I had more than just a grudge from high school, just a short time ago he was helping Chen Yu Zhou to get me in trouble for being a tiger. Liu Hu was from the Green Dragon Gang and had done many b*****ds’ deeds, both openly and secretly. I would never believe that someone could turn good in such a short time.
No matter whether Liu Hu is a traitor or a thief, I don’t want to have a face to face relationship with this guy.
“That’s right, I saw Chen Yu Zhou planted before I thought I was no match for you. I admit, I was a bit of a wimp and didn’t want to continue to be your enemy. If you have to ask, I just wanted to say sorry to you for being such a jerk in high school, I didn’t mean to beg you for anything.”
Liu Hu hesitated a little after he finished speaking, and then walked away.
After a while, Liu Min returned the card and handed it to Chu Xiaoxiao.
My heart was in a mess, I thought I was desensitized to high school matters, but Liu Hu’s presence brought them back to the surface.
Liu Min took two steps away and came back, asking, “Are you and my brother okay? It’s been so long since high school, let’s not take it to heart.”
She was kind enough to come over and explain to me, but she had no idea what had happened.
Chu Xiaoxiao said impatiently, “You make it sound so easy, do you know what’s really going on?”
“Wasn’t there a conflict back in high school?”
“Che, your brother broke my boyfriend’s hand, causing him to drop out of school. Is that a minor conflict? Then you let me try breaking a hand.”
I didn’t want to talk more nonsense with Liu Min, it would be futile to talk about it.
But I really didn’t expect Liu Hu to say this sorry to me, for them people, apologizing is harder than taking their lives.
“Let’s go, there’s still a lot to do.” I pulled Chu Xiaoxiao up and said.
Chu Xiaoxiao could see that I was in a bad mood and advised me as I walked, “You don’t have to forgive these people.”
I laughed bitterly, “I can’t forgive them, don’t I look petty?”
“You can be generous if you want to be, but you can be stingy if you want to be, no one else can be generous for you. When Liu Hu broke your arm in the first place, no one was there to take it for you. If someone says you’re stingy, let’s break that person’s arm first and then let him be generous for us first.”
“Hahahaha, you’re being all soph*moric.”
Chu Xiaoxiao and I wandered to the car park, finally in a much better mood.
I had thought what I wanted most was an apology from these people, but now I found out it wasn’t at all.
It turned out that I thought so because I was weak, I couldn’t do anything about them, only they bullied me, not me.
But now it’s different, now I am strong and they are weak, I don’t need anyone’s pity or apology anymore.
Instead, I wish they would not show me kindness so easily; I really don’t want to forgive them.
I really don’t want to forgive them. No matter what Liu Hu’s intentions are, whether he has a clear conscience or another agenda, I don’t want to see him again. In this world, not everything can be forgiven just because you repent.
They can repent, but I can’t start my life over. I can’t go back in time and pick up my hands and continue my studies. Yes, I have a good life now, but there are many people to thank for this. I thank my parents for being rich, so I can be rich, and I thank the army and my comrades, but no matter what, I can’t thank the people who have bullied me.
I wandered around with Chu Xiaoxiao, eager to take her back to the villa and make out with her.
But the Yin family was there and I didn’t want to let her get too close in case there was any danger.
After wandering around with Chu Xiaoxiao, I couldn’t let her go back, and finally Chu Xiaoxiao saw what I meant and sneaked up against my ear and said, “Why don’t we find a place where there are fewer people, in the car ……”
LOL!
Luckily my reaction was quick, otherwise the car would have crashed into a tree.
They say that a gentle place is a hero’s grave. Sooner or later, I will be drained by this goblin.
“Okay, okay, I’m not going to tease you, why are you so thin-skinned for an old man. I’ll tell you what, I’ll take you to see my mother.”
I said, “Sure!”
I really wanted to meet Chu Xiaoxiao’s mother, who was the key Chu Huaien used to control Chu Xiaoxiao.
If I didn’t find a way to put my mother-in-law in her place, I was afraid that Chu Xiaoxia would never be able to get rid of her father’s manipulation.
Chu Xiaoxia said her mother was in good shape recently and was in good spirits in the sanatorium, so she could take me to see her.
I couldn’t wait to see it, but when it came down to it, I started to get nervous again and kept staring at Chu Xiaoxia asking what gift I should buy.
We ended up buying a big fruit basket, and a few packs of health products.
Kangding Sanatorium is the largest sanatorium in Tong, a place located near a forest park at the foot of Snake Mountain, near a natural oxygen bar and in an unbeatable environment, where many rich people retire.
When we drove to Kangding Sanatorium, Chu Xiaoxiao said that her mother was undergoing rehabilitation and we had to wait for a while so we could stroll around the place first.
“The environment here is so nice.”
Watching people come and go, I was tempted to ask Han Kun to come to this place too, the environment might be beneficial to his condition. I had just thought of playing with this when I was shocked. Han Kun was half my father’s enemy, what was I thinking?
“What are you thinking about?”
