While Xu Yun and Jin Hong were drinking and chatting in the bar, Jin Guoyi stood outside the bar and looked at the stars in the sky.
He knew that something bad would happen. This constellation made him feel uneasy no matter how he looked at it.
Jin Guoyi hoped that Jin Hong wouldn't make the wrong choice, but he also hoped that he would follow his heart and make the choice he wanted to make.
No matter what, Jin Guoyi didn't want this child to have a knot in his heart that he would regret for the rest of his life.
That was why Jin Guoyi said those words. If Jin Hong chose to help Xu Yun, he wouldn't let him return to the Yan Gate.
She wasn't blaming him, nor was she trying to expel him. She simply didn't want to burden him too much. If he made up his mind, he would give him a reason to let go of the Yan Gate.
If he hesitated and chose to stay, Jin Guoyi naturally hoped that would happen. He didn't think that Jin Hong had anything to do with the Jiang Family.
Jin Guoyi and Jiang Jing were good friends, but Jin Guoyi was very disappointed with Jiang Jing's handling of Jin Hong's matter.
When Jiang Jing had sent Jin Hong to Jin Guoyi, he had directly changed his surname. Jin Hong had been called Jin Hong for ten years, and even Jin Hong himself had gotten used to his new surname.
At that time, Jin Guoyi had asked Jiang Jing what was going on with this child.
Jiang Jing told Jin Guoyi everything that had happened.
Jiang Jing knew that this child was most likely the eldest son of the Jiang Family. But the situation at the time forced Jiang Jing to not acknowledge this child. After all, Jiang Jing and his wife had just gotten married and she wasn't pregnant with Jiang Zixue yet.
The purpose of marriage in big families didn't need to be said. Everyone knew.
So Jiang Jing couldn't acknowledge Jin Hong's mother. He was very busy at the time and didn't know that Jin Hong's mother was pregnant.
Jin Hong's mother also knew that if Jiang Jing knew in advance, he wouldn't have let this child be born. The birth of this child was a disaster for him.
A mother's love was innate. Jin Hong's mother couldn't give up her child.
She had never even thought of using this child to win anything from the Jiang family. She only needed this child. She could give up any status and hide everything in her heart.
She could keep this secret forever. She would never let the child know that Jiang Jing was his father.
Even so, her story was still heard by others.
The Jiang family was a wealthy and influential family, so they always had to consider the family's interests and reputation when doing things. So … her death in childbirth was just an excuse.
Originally, Jin Hong would not have been left behind and would have been dealt with directly.
But when Jiang Jing found out about this, he couldn't bear to do it. He forced Jin Hong to stay alive, but he couldn't give Jin Hong any status.
He treated Jin Hong as a servant of the Jiang Family, and he would definitely treat him the same way he would treat a servant!
In fact, it wasn't that Jiang Jing didn't love her son! No matter what, he was still his own flesh and blood! Who could bear to be so cold to their own flesh and blood?
Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs!
However, Jiang Jing could only treat Jin Hong coldly because he knew that his every word and action could bring trouble to the child. So he had to control his words and actions!
For so many years, not only had Jin Hong suffered, but Jiang Jing had also suffered.
However, no one could change the current situation. No one could change it.
If time could start over, Jiang Jing might not have made such a choice. Unfortunately, time couldn't start over, and Jiang Jing would never have the chance to start over.
What was done was done, and no one could change it.
Whether Jiang Jing regretted it or not, no one could answer this question now.
But as a friend, Jin Guoyi felt that he must have regretted what he had done. In any case, when Jiang Jing sent Jin Hong to Jin Guoyi, it was the best outcome for Jin Hong.
Regardless of whether Jin Hong thought this result was right or wrong, at least Jiang Jing thought it was right.
Especially at the moment of Jiang Jing's death, he felt that at least his bloodline was still in this world. All this was enough for him.
The Jiang family could be destroyed, but as long as the fire seed was still there, there would be a day of glory.
Jiang Jing firmly believed in this, which was why he could still smile when facing the purge of the six great families.
Perhaps he would be regarded as the most useless successor of the Jiang family, but no one would be so comfortable in his position.
It was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands, not to mention that he had to fight against the other six great families by himself. If he hadn't been at a disadvantage, the six great families wouldn't have been driven to desperation.
There was heaven's will in the unseen world, and nothing could escape the arrangement of fate.
For Jiang Jing, saying that his life was in his own hands was nonsense. He had been going against heaven's will, but in the end, he still couldn't save the Jiang family.
Jin Guoyi knew Jiang Jing, and he also knew that Jiang Jing was a capable person. Unfortunately, in this kind of dispute, a capable person had no place to use his abilities.
He could only be completely destroyed like a shooting star.
Looking at the stars in the sky, Jin Guoyi shook his head helplessly. He knew that Jin Hong would not make the choice he thought was right.
If he continued to wait like this, he would only be distressed and annoyed.
Forget it, let him be.
Jin Guoyi had already cultivated Jin Hong into a useful person, and he had already done right by Jiang Jing. Now that it was time for him to make his own choice, what right did he have to interfere?
After all, Jin Hong was a member of the Jiang family, not Jin Guoyi's child.
"Xu Yun, oh Xu Yun, you really brought me trouble the moment you came." Jin Guoyi shook his head helplessly, then turned and left the bar.
Once he left, he didn't look back.
…
Inside the bar, Jin Hong had been silent the whole time. Besides drinking, he didn't seem to want to say anything.
His mind was in a mess, and the struggle between himself and himself made people feel helpless.
At this moment, Jin Hong couldn't make a decision. One was to pursue his own heart, and the other was to not disappoint his master.
These were both things that Jin Hong cared about, so the decision became difficult. You couldn't have your cake and eat it too. This was a choice that everyone would encounter countless times in their life.
However, Jin Hong's choice this time was particularly difficult.
Xu Yun was very clear about what Jin Hong was entangled with, but he couldn't give him advice and guidance on this kind of thing.
This was completely a personal matter. No matter who intervened in this matter, it was unfair to Jin Hong. It couldn't be regarded as a help, but a kind of harm.
Xu Yun also drank quietly, waiting for Jin Hong to make a choice.
There were more and more people in the bar, and more and more girls were sticking to the two. However, Xu Yun and Jin Hong didn't have that kind of mood at all, and their expressions were so heavy.
After seeing this situation, all the girls would think that this was a pair of good friends who had an unpleasant encounter and were facing the test of "breaking up."
This was the plot that fujoshis liked, but there weren't many fujoshis in the bar. So soon, the two of them fell into their own world.
Finally, when the second bottle of wine was almost finished, Jin Hong made a decision that he had thought about carefully.
"I think I should go with you." Jin Hong said, "The Jiang family has become like this. If I choose to stand by and do nothing, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Xu Yun nodded. "This is your family's matter. I will support you and stand by your side no matter what choice you make. However, you should think about how to explain it to your master. "
"There is no need to explain." Jin Hong said, "Master said those words to me, which means that he can accept any choice I make. He will forgive any choice I make … "
Xu Yun didn't speak. He poured all the wine in the bottle into their glasses.
"After drinking this glass of wine, I want to say goodbye," Jin Hong said.
Xu Yun nodded and raised his glass. "Cheers!"
