When he met Shen Manjun for the first time, she drove a fiery red Ferrari. In that smoky underground race track, she was the most beautiful and peerless. Even Lin Xiaozhu, who was very confident in his appearance, was full of vigilance against her. He thought that she was a potential threat, a very aggressive woman.
But at this moment, Shen Manjun no longer had the elegance of the past. She was lonely, helpless, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world. She didn't even have the qualification to have a fair chat with Xiao Zheng.
The rough Xiao Zheng might be able to feel Shen Manjun's difficult situation, but how could he know how painful and unbearable Shen Manjun's heart was?
Swish.
Xiao Zheng reopened a bottle of wine and poured a full glass for Shen Manjun. With a complicated expression, he said, "I'll accompany you."
After that, he picked up a glass of wine in his hand and clinked it with Shen Manjun.
A woman's tears were the deadliest weapon. Even a rough man like Xiao Zheng could hardly resist a woman's tears. Especially, this woman was Xiao Zheng's heart, who would never cry and would never give up on life, Shen Manjun.
But judging from the current situation, Shen Manjun was really physically and mentally exhausted and didn't have the courage to move forward.
The two of them drank one glass after another. Xiao Zheng didn't care about one more glass because he had a good capacity for alcohol. Shen Manjun was eager to use alcohol to anesthetize herself. She drank quickly and anxiously, as if she wouldn't stop until she was drunk.
"Enough."
When Shen Manjun was about to open the fourth bottle, Xiao Zheng pulled Shen Manjun's arm and said with a wry smile, "If you drink again, you'll be drunk."
"Getting drunk can solve a thousand worries." Shen Manjun said in a low tone. "If you're drunk, you don't have to think about anything."
"What happens after you wake up?" Xiao Zheng asked insensibly. "How long can you be drunk? A day? A year? Or a lifetime? "
Shen Manjun's delicate body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes slightly raised, and she stared at Xiao Zheng with a complicated gaze: "Why are you so cruel to me? Don't I even have the qualification to be drunk? "
Xiao Zheng's mouth was full of bitterness, but he didn't know how to answer. But he had to answer, because at this moment, only Xiao Zheng could give Shen Manjun the most effective guidance.
"I just don't want you to hurt your body." Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and passed it to Shen Manjun. He then lit one for himself and said calmly. "You can avoid getting drunk for a while, but only by facing it bravely can you truly solve the problem."
"Solve the problem?" Shen Manjun smiled miserably and asked with a trembling voice. "How? Draw boundaries with him, or forget his existence? Xiao Zheng, do you really think that I can cut off all ties with him? "
"But you can at least live the life you want, just like before," Xiao Zheng said calmly. "Look at me. I've had no one to rely on since I was young. Not to mention family, I don't even have many friends. Didn't I still live to this day? I never thought I was pitiful or helpless. "
"Life is what you make it. What kind of life do you want? Just work hard and fight for it. What's the use of wallowing in painful memories? What's the use of giving up on yourself? Do you want to move God with your tears? Pray to God to change your life? "Xiao Zheng said expressionlessly.
He should not have said these cruel words. But he knew that Shen Manjun could not untie the knot in Mister Zhao's heart. At the same time, he also clearly knew that the grudge between him and Mister Zhao could never be reconciled. Even if he did not find trouble with Mister Zhao, even if he did not care about what Mister Zhao had done to him. But what about Mister Zhao? Would he let him go?
Ye Shiguan's previous attitude had explained everything. Sometimes, if you take a step back, the enemy will also take a step back. Sometimes, if you don't want to participate, you can stay out of it. Sometimes, if you solve the problem with a heart of stone, you can truly get relief. Otherwise, you are destined to go to hell.
So he could not promise Shen Manjun that he could coexist peacefully with Mister Zhao. In fact, this was absolutely impossible. What he could do was to use the most brutal way to shatter Shen Manjun's fragility. He forced her to bring out her bravest side to meet all the hardships.
If she did not burn herself with the fire of karma, how could she be reborn?
Shen Manjun stared blankly at Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng's cruel but straight to the point words lingered in her ears. Her expression was contradictory and complicated, chaotic and desperate.
She did not know what to say next, nor did she know what to do next. She was very confused and in pain. She finally understood why some people could give up a good life and future to seek death.
In the past, she had looked down on women who sought death.
Now, she had finally become the person she hated the most.
Shen Manjun's pain and despair were seen by Xiao Zheng. He knew that at this moment, Shen Manjun had fallen into an endless abyss. Perhaps in the next moment, the moment he pushed the door open and left the room, she would commit suicide.
The fragility of human nature, Xiao Zheng understood it better than anyone else. He had seen too many men in high positions give up their families in order to survive. He had also seen too many big shots commit suicide after a breakdown. It was not that they were weaker than others, but that they had experienced more terrible devastation than others.
"If death can solve the problem, then the world will be in sorrow." Xiao Zheng calmly lit a cigarette.
Shen Manjun lowered her eyes, her gaze unfocused: "I want to be alone for a while."
"You don't need to be alone." Xiao Zheng gently shook his head. "Pain and despair is a demon that will automatically grow. When it is strong enough, you will be completely destroyed. "
Shen Manjun looked up and asked: "What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to live well and accept all challenges." Accept all challenges. "Xiao Zheng took a puff of his cigarette and said word by word. "Old rules, I will guarantee you a lifetime of peace."
Shen Manjun's body trembled. Her eyes were immediately filled with hot tears. Her emotions were like a mountain torrent, bursting out in an instant.
Shen Manjun threw herself into Xiao Zheng's arms. She was like a little girl who was locked up in a small dark room by her parents, without food or water, without any hope.
"Why — —" Shen Manjun burst into tears, all her pretense collapsed. "Why me? I have never done anything evil in my life, why is God so cruel? "
Xiao Zheng gently hugged Shen Manjun's body, but a lonely figure appeared in his mind.
Cruel?
You have been happy for more than 20 years. What about Tina? Even now, she is still wandering between darkness and death, without a single day of happiness. Floating like a ghost.
Compared to her, you are already happy enough.
But the only thing Xiao Zheng wanted to do at this moment was to comfort Shen Manjun, to give her the courage to live. As for his and Tina's life that was as dark as the abyss, he would keep it for himself.
