The mountain breeze was slightly cold.
Shi Mengwan looked at him. She had some guesses in her heart, but she wasn't sure.
Zhan Haoze turned to look at her and said softly, "Because I met you."
Shi Mengwan was stunned for a moment. When she met the gentleness in his eyes, her heart trembled.
"Dear Brother?"
"Yes." Zhan Haoze smiled. That smile was very light. It overlapped with Qiao Ze when he was young.
At that time, he only wanted revenge. When he came to Lin City, he had nothing on him and couldn't do anything to Zhan Kun. Although he wanted revenge, he couldn't find a way.
What was even worse was that after Zhan Kun found out that he had run away, he sent people to hunt him down several times. If it weren't for his good luck and the fact that Zhan Kun was focused on expanding his business during that period of time, he wouldn't have been able to focus on dealing with him.
Otherwise, it was unknown whether he would have survived.
There were naturally other reasons for this. Zhan Lie had come to Lin City and stayed for many years, so he naturally didn't stay for nothing.
Although he looked like an ordinary employee, he came from the Zhan family after all. He had left someone in Lin City.
Those people eventually became Zhan Haoze's help. After coming to Lin City, Zhan Haoze changed his name.
He followed his biological mother's surname, Qiao Ze. He lived in seclusion in a bungalow and rarely interacted with others. Not only to be inconspicuous, but most importantly, he didn't want Zhan Kun to say that he borrowed the Zhan family's power in the end.
Even if it was someone left behind by Zhan Lie, it was still a member of the Zhan family. His surname was Qiao, so it had nothing to do with the Zhan family.
He was only fourteen years old and could do too little. However, this didn't stop the flames of revenge in his heart from burning.
He stayed in a bungalow. This area was complicated and chaotic. Although he was only fourteen years old, he had already seen the darkness of the Zhan family.
In terms of methods, these hooligans wouldn't be more powerful than Zhan Kun.
In terms of ruthlessness, Zhan Haoze, who wanted revenge wholeheartedly, was like Satan from hell. No one could stop him.
After he used force to subdue a few hooligans, he began to expand his territory step by step.
The time he met Shi Mengwan was a mistake. He was too impatient and accidentally offended a small local leader called Brother Liang. Behind Brother Liang was a slightly famous and powerful leader in Lin City called Big Boss Hui.
Brother Liang had lost face at his place. He had spent the entire night picking more than ten people to get back at him.
That day, he was careless and let his subordinates go back first. At that time, he had already been in Lin City for a year. During this year, he relied on his fierce fighting skills to improve a lot.
The young man felt that his skills were not bad, so he did not take this group of people seriously. However, in the end, it was impossible for him to not lose when fighting against more than ten people alone.
Just when he thought he was going to die, Shi Mengwan appeared.
She was actually very timid and didn't dare to do anything else. She only shouted that the police were here and saved him.
However, this person was quite smart and knew to make some noise.
Brother Liang's men had left. His entire body was in extreme pain from being beaten up, but he knew that someone had saved him.
He walked around the alley and walked in front of Shi Mengwan. Only then did he realize that the little girl was so scared that she fell to the ground.
She was clearly so scared that her face was pale, but she forced herself to calm down and did not run away. For some strange reason, he took the bread from her bag and ate it.
He was pretending to be hungry, but he really wanted to use this opportunity to teach her a lesson. Who would have thought that a timid little girl would dare to lecture him and say that he littered?
Heh, how ridiculous. Who would care about where the trash was thrown in that area? What was even more unexpected was that not only did the girl dare to lecture him, but she also dared to follow him home.
The days that followed were a little out of his imagination.
Not only was she bold, but she was also stupid. She gave him all the money she had. He thought that he was going to take her in, but he didn't expect her to run away the next day.
She was really stupid. If it weren't for him, she would have been taken away by someone else.
If one or two people went missing in this area, there would be no sound at all. After that, it was much simpler.
She treated him as her savior and called him Dear Brother.
He didn't care. It was just one more person to eat. As long as she didn't mind, he didn't care.
However, after having her, his life was indeed much better. At least he didn't have to eat irregular meals, and he didn't have to stop for meals.
After that, things got out of his control.
That year, during the Lantern Festival, that bowl of alcoholic rice balls. He looked at her blushing face under the light and suddenly couldn't control the impulse in his heart.
The young kiss, the intimacy of hugging each other to sleep every day. At that time, he was already fifteen years old and had been on the streets for so long. He knew almost everything he needed to know.
He knew in his heart that he had high hopes for the girl.
He didn't think that this was something that couldn't be said. However, in the current situation, he couldn't do anything.
His plan was slowly unfolding, and the number of subordinates he subdued was also increasing. But it wasn't enough. He still had a grudge to take.
Moreover, she was too young. She didn't even have her period.
She was really too young. Even if he could wait for her to grow up.
To him, she couldn't just stay by his side like this. After all, he still had a grudge to take, and she should live a normal life, not be like him, a hooligan on the streets.
Therefore, he thought of a way to find a former colleague of Qiao Ruoliu, who had a good relationship with Qiao Ruoliu. Then, he arranged for her to go to school.
In his eyes, his relationship with Shi Mengwan was getting better and better. He could feel the starlight in the girl's eyes when she looked at him. He could also feel the closeness the girl had to him every night. She would fall asleep in his arms. She would cook every day and wait for him to come home.
Under the light, she did her homework very seriously and attentively.
He could tell that she liked school very much. Even though she had dropped a lot of homework, there was a smile on her face. She obviously liked school.
Not only was she good at her studies, but because she could go to school, she took care of him even more attentively.
Other than cooking, she actually knew how to change clothes. For a period of time, he even felt that other than being too young, they were no different from husband and wife at other times. ,
Later, he looked at her in high spirits and said that she wanted to be a fashion designer when she grew up.
At that time, Shi Mengwan's eyes lit up.
That was good. She did what she liked, and he did what he wanted to do. He let her go to school and worked hard to help her realize her dream.
And his methods outside became more and more ruthless because he wanted to make himself stronger as quickly as possible.
Everything went very smoothly. He thought that when his power grew stronger, when he took his revenge, Shi Mengwan would also grow up. Shi Mengwan had also grown up. At that time, they could really be together.
What he didn't expect was that his rapid rise would provoke the big shot, Hui. He got someone to deal with him.
That day, Shi Mengwan said very happily that she wanted to go play. He knew about Mount Qin. He had been there before, when he was young, with his parents.
To him, those memories had already become a wound that he didn't want to touch.
But looking at Shi Mengwan's smiling face, he couldn't refuse. They went to Mount Qin, climbed the mountain, and played. Everything was beautiful.
She was happy, and so was he.
He thought that this kind of happiness would last forever. However, when they went down the mountain, they met the big shot's people.
It wasn't just the big shot's people. The people who came later were Zhan Kun's people.
When he was beaten to the ground and couldn't get up, he saw Shi Mengwan get kicked and her body flew out.
At that moment, his heart was broken.
He was beaten to the point that he didn't have the strength to fight back, not to mention that the other party had a weapon in his hand. And he was only one person.
The moment he lost consciousness, he thought that he was dead for sure. His only regret was that this kind of life was indeed a dream.
Not only could he not live a peaceful life, but he also implicated Shi Mengwan. If it was possible, if it was possible, he would definitely let her go back and live a peaceful and normal life.
However, Zhan Haoze didn't expect that when he opened his eyes again, not only was he not dead, but he was also saved by someone.
The person who saved him was Chen Feifei. Chen Feifei happened to see his face at that time. As a young girl, she was obsessed with looks and liked handsome people.
At that time, Shi Mengwan fell behind the tree. Chen Feifei didn't see her at first glance. She only saw Zhan Haoze.
She brought Zhan Haoze home. After Zhan Haoze woke up, he knew that he had been saved by Chen Feifei. And he also figured out the situation in the shortest time possible.
Chen Yongchang's company could be considered to be of a large scale in Lin City. Although it couldn't compare to the Su family and the Li family, it still had some power. Especially since Chen Yongchang's maternal family was in the province.
It didn't take him long to realize that this was an excellent shelter. Especially when Chen Feifei, who was still young, had an extraordinary liking for him.
With the Chen family's power, he went to school, started a business, and developed his own power. Of course, he also gave the Chen family some feedback. This could be considered as taking what they needed.
As for Shi Mengwan, she was suppressed in the corner of his memory and was no longer mentioned.
Before he succeeded, before he had the ability, the further away he was from her, the safer it would be for her.
What if Shi Mengwan was with another man?
He thought that this was also good. There was nothing bad about it. At least, it was safer and happier than being by his side.
After all, the more he grew up, the more he understood what kind of giant the Zhan family was. With his current ability, he couldn't touch the Zhan family at all.
He could only plan slowly. Take your time. Moreover, he was prepared. If he really couldn't do it, he would perish together with Zhan Kun. No matter what, he had to take revenge for his parents and sister.
But he really didn't expect that he would meet Shi Mengwan.
In the hospital, she looked at him and called him Dear Brother with such a surprised look in her eyes.
At that moment, he could feel the impulse in his heart. It was a kind of breathtaking. He looked at Shi Mengwan and had a feeling that it was as expected.
She had grown up and was so beautiful that it couldn't be compared. He had once imagined what that bright and smiling girl would look like when she grew up.
He had imagined that she would be very beautiful when she grew up. But he didn't expect her to be even more beautiful than he had imagined.
Seeing her call him Dear Brother with a face full of surprise, seeing her pounce over to acknowledge him with a face full of surprise, he almost agreed.
But it was only almost. Those emotions were perfectly restrained by him.
His path was a lonely one. He didn't need friends, nor did he need love.
If he could resist not looking for Shi Mengwan for more than ten years, he could force himself not to see her and not acknowledge her in the future.
But time and time again, they met again and again, causing his heart to become more and more out of control.
He tried hard to push her away, but she tried hard to make him admit his identity. Until that time, when he was drugged and lost control for a moment.
No, it couldn't be considered to be out of control. He instinctively hoped that if he had to have a woman … That woman was Shi Mengwan.
But this wouldn't do. From time to time, the people arranged by Qingcheng would die in Zhan Kun's hands. Zhan Kun was careful when he did things and never left any traces.
Uncle Chi had followed him for decades, so there was no need to elaborate on his loyalty to him.
If he hadn't borrowed the Chen family's power, it wouldn't have been as simple as just receiving a lesson.
He was sometimes cold and sometimes warm towards Shi Mengwan, and he was sometimes distant. The impulse in his youth, the amazement after Shi Mengwan grew up. He wanted to push her away, but he was reluctant.
He wanted to get closer, but he was afraid that it would make her feel unsafe.
Qingcheng's progress was considered smooth, but it was only on the surface. The Zhan family was too big, and with Zhan Kun's support over the years.
Zhan Lie's brothers, as well as his grandchildren, all had their own thoughts.
The situation in the Zhan family was very chaotic, but because of Zhan Kun's strength, it was firmly under control.
He could only tear open the Zhan family bit by bit. During this process, all the coldness and neglect that Shi Mengwan felt from him were because he had no choice but to do it.
He knew how much pain Shi Mengwan was in, but he couldn't say it. He couldn't say anything.
When he had nothing, Shi Mengwan was willing to suffer with him. In such a dangerous situation, Shi Mengwan probably wanted to stay by his side even more.
But he couldn't. He would rather stay away from her. He even seemed to be engaged to Chen Feifei.
But he didn't expect that he had overestimated his self-control. When Xiao Qi, Wan Xianyang, and other men appeared by Shi Mengwan's side.
He still couldn't restrain himself. He wanted to trap her by his side and make her belong to him completely from body to heart.
He was a selfish man. If he didn't see Shi Mengwan, if he didn't see her, then he could really let her marry someone else and be with other men.
But he couldn't. If he didn't get it, then it didn't matter if he lost it. But after getting it and then losing it, he found that he couldn't accept it.
He could only destroy her with other men time and time again. He trapped her by his side time and time again, reminding her that she belonged to him.
On the surface, he was very successful. But he knew that she wasn't happy. If he wanted her to be happy, he had to stop taking revenge. This was even more difficult for him.
In a dilemma, he sped up his actions, but he discovered a new difficulty.
He wanted Zhan Kun's life, but he didn't want to put himself in danger anymore.
Because of Shi Mengwan, he still wanted to be with her, spend the rest of his life together, form a family together, and perhaps have one or two more children.
So he hesitated. When Uncle Chi came looking for him, he decided to follow his plan.
He wanted to get the Zhan family and make Zhan Kun pay the price. As for him, he didn't want to get a single cent of the Zhan family.
"Wanwan."
Zhan Haoze wrapped his arms around Shi Mengwan's waist and held her in his arms. "I'm sorry."
He didn't acknowledge her when she recognized him, and he didn't make it clear to her immediately.
This was his pride, but it was also his selfishness.
The tip of Shi Mengwan's nose was a little sore, and her eyes were swollen. She buried her face in his chest. She had received too much news today, and she didn't know how to react.
She had always known that he was her Dear Brother, but she had never thought that one day, he would admit it himself.
"I thought you would never admit it in your life."
"I'm sorry." Other than these three words, Zhan Haoze didn't know what else he could say.
Shi Mengwan shook her head. How proud was he? She knew it before.
Seeing that he never told her anything outside, she could roughly understand that in his heart, he always liked to put her in the position of a protector.
"I should have told you earlier."
Shi Mengwan didn't care about what he said. Instead, what she cared about was another thing.
She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "You said that if I didn't recognize you, you wouldn't have come to look for me?"
"Yes."
"Even if I was with another man? Even if I got married and had children? "
Zhan Haoze's expression was a little subtle for a moment, but he still nodded. "Yes."
Shi Mengwan's eyes were even redder than before. "Do you know that if you really did that, it would be the greatest cruelty to me?"
"Wanwan?" He knew, but he also believed that even if that was the case, she would live a good life.
"I've been looking for you for more than ten years. But they all said that there's no such person as Qiao Ze. "
She wrapped her arms around his waist tightly, as if seeking some comfort. "I don't believe it, and I refuse to give up. Do you know why people from Song Seeking Studio are called Song Seeking? It's because I want to find you, my Dear Brother. "
"Dear Brother, ever since I saw you that year and was saved by you, in my heart, there's only one person I want to be with, and it's only you."
Zhan Haoze looked at the sincerity in her eyes and reached out to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"I know."
"If you know, why didn't you come to look for me?"
"I want you to be happy."
"Without you, my happiness would be discounted."
She had family, friends, and her own career. She could also live a good life, but her happiness would be missing a piece.
That piece was something only he could give her.
"Who asked you to take away my first kiss? Who asked you to appear in my life? So, you have to take responsibility. "
"Okay." Zhan Haoze nodded. "I'll be responsible for your life from now on."
Shi Mengwan smiled. She buried her face in his chest and gently rubbed against it. "Dear Brother."
"Yes."
"Dear Brother."
"Yes."
"Dear Brother."
Shi Mengwan had a surreal feeling, which made her keep calling him Dear Brother.
Zhan Haoze couldn't help but lower his head and give her a deep kiss.
Shi Mengwan took the initiative to cater to him, but not long after, she reacted. She took a step back and looked at the tombstone beside her, a little embarrassed.
"It's okay. Mom and Dad will like you. "
As if he knew what she was thinking, Zhan Haoze's voice was a little teasing.
This was the first time she had seen Zhan Haoze so relaxed and casual. She bit her lip, a little nervous.
"Has your trouble been resolved?"
"It's all resolved."
Once Zhan Kun died, the fall of the Zhan family was inevitable. Of course, before the fall of the Zhan family, he had already broken the Zhan family's business into parts, and then reorganized it.
In those few months, he only slept three hours a day. After his operations, the current Zhan family was already a brand new Zhan family without Zhan Kun.
All of Zhan Kun's Zhan family no longer existed. The new Zhan family was formed by him, a brand new business kingdom.
Shi Mengwan nodded. "Dear Brother, we'll be together forever, right?"
"Yes."
"That's great." Shi Mengwan hugged Zhan Haoze again. "I'll call you Dear Brother from now on, okay?"
"Okay."
"Dear Brother."
"Yes."
"Dear Brother."
"Yes."
"I love you."
"Me too."
"Dear Brother." Shi Mengwan suddenly raised her head and looked at him with a focused expression. "What my mother said last time was a lie to you. My mother won't want me to get a son-in-law. "
"I know."
Father Shi had already said that Shi Mengwan didn't need to make any sacrifices. It didn't matter who she married, as long as she was happy.
"You have a very good pair of parents."
"You too."
Shi Mengwan gripped his hand tightly and looked at the three tombstones. "Dear Brother. "Dear Brother, believe me, your parents must want you to live well."
Not for him to take revenge. Although he had already succeeded. But he believed that all parents in this world only wanted their children to grow up safely.
"Yes."
"I know." Zhan Haoze held her hand tightly. "Let's go. Let's go down the mountain. "
He turned around and looked at the tombstones. Finally, he bowed and when he raised his head again, there was a faint smile on his face.
It was bright and sunny, completely different from the gloomy atmosphere of the past.
Dad, Mom, don't worry. I'll live well. For myself, for you, and for Wanwan.
"Then, goodbye, Auntie and Uncle."
Shi Mengwan also bowed, but the way she addressed him attracted Zhan Haoze's objection.
"You should call them Mom and Dad too."
Shi Mengwan blinked, as if she was a little embarrassed. In the end, she readily accepted his advice.
"Dad. Mom. Sister, goodbye. I'll come to see you with Haoze next time. "
Zhan Haoze smiled, held Shi Mengwan's hand, and left together.
"Wanwan."
When they went down the mountain, Zhan Haoze suddenly called Shi Mengwan's name.
"Yes?"
"I founded XM Company in Lin City. XM is just an abbreviation, but the Chinese meaning is to dream. I miss Mengwan. "
Shi Mengwan was stunned for a moment. She turned around and looked at him. There was a flash of surprise in her eyes. "Dear Brother?"
"Thank you. Wanwan. "
Zhan Haoze stopped and looked at her. "Thank you for waiting for me."
Without her, he could still continue to take revenge. He could continue to live his own life. But at the same time, his happiness would also be discounted.
Without Shi Mengwan, his life wouldn't be as perfect as it was now.
However, Zhan Haoze didn't expect that it could be even more perfect than it was now.
His wedding with Shi Mengwan was scheduled for October. They separated in October, so they chose to get married in October.
After the wedding, they were supposed to go on a honeymoon, but unexpectedly … As soon as the wedding ended, Shi Mengwan vomited profusely.
The nervous Zhan Haoze called the doctor to check Shi Mengwan's body, only to find out that she was already more than two months pregnant. Because she had been busy with the wedding and the studio, she didn't even know.
Because of the severe morning sickness, Zhan Haoze and she naturally couldn't go on a honeymoon.
Seven months later, Shi Mengwan gave birth to a very cute baby girl.
Zhan Haoze wanted a daughter wholeheartedly, and now his wish was finally fulfilled.
He thought to himself that his life was truly perfect now.
