Chapter 218: The Truth Revealed
Chinese New Year's Eve. Every family is festive. Cooking with gas. Dumplings in a pot. The smell is already emerging. Leeks and eggs. Pork with green onions.
Northerners love to eat dumplings. And. Be sure to have vinegar. There has to be garlic too.
A large head of garlic. Placed next to the table. Stuff a dumpling into your mouth. Then eat a full half of the garlic.
Basically. The northern lords all eat like this. Northern women also love garlic. But much shyer than men. Eat in small bites. Sometimes. The garlic is spicy and all shed tears. Or keep eating.
Family reunion. Family. Sit together. Eating dumplings on the side. While watching TV. This is the tradition of the people of Wu'an County. Adults drinking. Let's talk about it. The little ones are either out and firing guns. Or huddle in front of the computer. Play the game. See who's playing the twea.
Almost all the shops in Wu'an County, large and small, are closed. In addition to a few prestigious restaurants that have also opened. Almost all stores. All on vacation. In the old days, it was a bustling commercial street. It's also a lot deserted now. Occasionally, a few children are running around chasing each other.
Almost the entire street of shops is closed. Only "Yi Zhilian" is still brightly lit. The clerks have all gone home for the New Year. Chang Miao can be alone. Sitting in the shop. Eating takeaway dumplings.
The dumplings were bought from a big restaurant. Two boxes. A box of leeks. A box of lamb. He can't eat alone. But. After all, it's the New Year. There should always be a New Year's look.
Crystal chandelier. Exquisitely carved. The entire storefront. It is brightly illuminated. But Chinese New Year's Eve. No one will be idle and go out shopping for clothes. Throughout the store. All cold and gentle.
on the walls. The hanging TV is playing the program of the Spring Festival Gala. Chang Miaoke looked at it boringly. Dumplings have no taste. The TV show also has no taste.
Think back to last winter. A family together. Although it is not as happy as an ordinary family. But at least. It's kind of a reunion. And yet now. Family. It's life and death.
Sketch of the Spring Festival Gala. It's not interesting though. But. There's always a laugh or two. The audience was amused and laughed. But. Chang Miaoke. Laughing and laughing. Suddenly cried. Big tears fell inside the lunch box. Crying a mess.
Person. At a young age. Crying and crying and laughing. But. People grow up. Often laughing and laughing and crying.
Chang Miaoke cried very sadly. He misses his father. Missing her family. Missing the old days. But the past . There's no going back. People cannot be resurrected from the dead. Living people. We have to move on.
A silver Audi A8 parked at the door of "Yi Zhi Lian". Ye Shaofeng got out of the car. Push the door in.
He wasn't wrong. Chang Miaoke. Yes, there is. They are separated here. Of course. And to get back together here.
Night sky. Fireworks. Like a flower blooming in the dark. Even if these splendors are fleeting. But. It still brings people the fun of the New Year.
Chang Miaoke didn't hear the door open. But I heard the sound of fireworks outside. Turn your head to look out the window. Want to see how brilliant those fireworks are. But this one looks. I actually saw Ye Shaofeng. See Ye Shaofeng. Walking towards her.
The moment I saw Ye Shaofeng. Chang Miaoke cried even more sadly. It's like being a child who has been away from home for many years. When you're at your worst. See the same as looking for his loved ones. A sense of belonging. Haunting in Chang Miaoke's heart.
As Ye Shaofeng slowly approached. Chang Miao can quickly calm his mood. Dry your tears. And then. Standing up with a slight tremble. Said: "You...... Why are you here......"
"I'm here to accompany you for the New Year." Ye Shaofeng said with a smile. Mouth. Gentle smile. It's been a long time.
"You...... Are you done with everything?" Chang Miaoke didn't know what to say. Asked with a little embarrassment.
"I'm done. I guess you know a little bit about it. Your mother is in jail. Xiang Wenqiang is dead. I avenged your dad. but also to take control of the property and control of Zonghai Group. They've all been recaptured." Ye Shaofeng said.
"Oh. I've heard all of this happen. Your purpose has been achieved. Congratulations." Chang Miaoke said.
"That's not my purpose. Everything I do. It's all for you. If there is no you. I'm not going to fight for any Zonghai Group. I'm not going to fight these people to the death." Ye Shaofeng said.
"For me. Aren't you greedy for the property of the Zonghai Group?" Chang Miaoke said.
"Zonghai Group is very important to me. I'm going to get him back. Because. Zonghai Group is yours. I won't allow anyone to rob you. I use my own strength. Get back what is rightfully yours. Right now. It's time for it to be returned to its rightful owner." Ye Shaofeng said it quite easily.
"The thing is returned to its rightful owner. What do you mean?"
"You're in charge of the overall situation of the Zonghai Group. You are eligible. I have the ability to do that." Ye Shaofeng said.
"You want me to go back. But. Shaofeng. I don't want to go back. Zonghai Group. It doesn't have anything to do with me anymore. That's all in the past. Even if you come out with 100 million to invite me. I'm not going back either." Chang Miaoke said firmly.
"Why not go back. Zonghai Group. It's your family business. Your father founded it. You don't go back and take over. Your father will not be at ease in the sky."
"If I go back. My father wouldn't be even more at ease. Zonghai Group. It's a mafia business. Father is because of the underworld. So. Embarked on this road of no return. Even if his family is rich. Even if you are a dignitary in front of others. At last. Didn't you just be killed? If I were to continue running the Zonghai Group. That is to repeat the mistakes of the past. I don't want to touch the underworld. Shaofeng. I advise you. While young. Wash your hands in the golden basin." Chang Miaoke said.
Ye Shaofeng knows. Something that can be decided. Even if you say it's going to break the sky. She's not going to change her mind. Tell her like this. It's not necessary.
Since she doesn't want to come back to business. Then he will control the Zonghai Group first. Controls Zonghai Group. It is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the drug network chain in the Luyang area.
"Okay. Since you're not going back. I won't force it anymore.
Zonghai Group. There are funds. There is technology. There is also a relationship. Even if you don't make drugs. It can still become a big business. It's just now. It takes time. Slowly pull yourself out of the underworld. Wait until I've completely cleared up the Zonghai Group. Waiting for you to come back." Ye Shaofeng said.
At this time. Chang Miaoke looked up at Ye Shaofeng. Look into his deep eyes. He asked softly: "Shaofeng. I don't want to talk about anything right now. I just want to ask you. in your heart. Is there ...... me or not?"
