Chapter 529 - I Trust Him (2/2)
Zhao Jin shakes his head.
He cannot know about Yue Xincheng’s thinking but he will never negate his thinking.
Gentlemen seek harmony but not uniformity.
Everyone has his own thinking and choice, which also applies to friends. Are all the friends like-minded? Of course not.
“Alas. We should be big-hearted,” Yue Xincheng says with a sigh, “Take the recently popular vagabondage for instance. I like him quite much! Some may think he shouldn’t live this way. I’m quite confused. He just wants to live as he expects, without hurting anyone. He doesn’t do any evil doings. Why do you have to believe in your own perspective that he is a poor guy? Maybe he thinks that those constrained by various life burdens are poor.”
“You don’t look like a free and easy person,” Zhao Jin looks at Qingrou next to him and says.
“Therefore, I am not free and easy enough! Otherwise, I will go and rove in distant lands, eating and drinking to my heart’s content. By then I won’t need to follow the prescribed order; I can only do as I wish, without hurting others; I will live a carefree life, with sky and earth as bed and quilt, wind as companion, sun and moon as candles, and rain as comforter.
“Then why don’t you go to rove in distant lands? I will help look after Qingrou for you,” Gao Ge walks back and says.
Yue Xincheng pulls a long face, “No need!”
Gao Ge is amused.
Joy is overflowing in the villa.
As to Shanxi, he believes that He Youniang can harness the situation.
At the moment, in Shanxi, He Youniang still stays in the mourning hall.
“Youniang, given our capability, we cannot confront the Shen Family with toughness!” He Chi, still standing beside He Youniang, advises in earnest.
He Youniang looks at him and nods her head, “Uncle, I know that.”
“Since you know that, why did you…”
Before He Chi finishes talking, He Youniang grins and says, “Uncle, why did the Shen Family and the Qi Sword Sect get my father killed jointly? Was it for the assets of the He Family? You think the Shen Family would do nothing if I didn’t say that? Then they wouldn’t strike attack at us?”
He Chi is slightly stunned.
He thinks for a while and thinks that He Youniang has made a good point.
“In this case, does it matter whether I said that or not?” He Youniang shakes her head and says, “Whether I said it or not, they will do the same thing. Since so, we had better show our posture and let them bring it on.”
He Chi says with a bitter smile, “Can’t argue about that… Well, Youniang, what do you think we should do now?”
“Nothing,” He Youniang says calmly.
“Nothing?” He Chi is shocked, “So we just give our family’s assets away when they ask for them?”
He Youniang takes a deep breath, offers the incense and then turns around to look at He Chi.
“Uncle, you are right. If they take action, just let them. We just give away what they want and retreat from the domain they intend to seize.”
He Chi feels fretful.
“No resistance?”
“We know we cannot resist them. Why bother?”
He Chi flares up, “Nonsense! How can we do that? Even if our family is no match for them, we can never submit to them without resistance!”
He Youniang laughs and says, “Uncle, you still fail to understand what I mean. The people of the Shen Family and Qi Sword Sect believe that our family is a big cake. Even if they want to eat the cake, they need time and they have to eat it bit by bit.”
He Chi shakes his head, “I cannot understand.”
“Then don’t,” He Youniang says, “Uncle, trust me for once. Now I’m trying to stall for time until my teacher arrives.”
“Your teacher?” He Chi’s eyelids slightly twitch, “Gao Ge?”
He Youniang nods with a smile.
He Chi sneers, “Youniang, you know how Gao Ge is doing now. He is even unable even to protect himself. A lot of people are watching him.”
“I’ll wait for him anyway,” He Youniang says, “You don’t believe him?”
He Chi nods his head, “Of course.”
“I trust him and that’s enough.”
