Chapter 338 - 312: Farewell All the Way (Ask for Monthly Tickets)
“I am really a bad person, not only bad but also selfish. You must be curious why a woman like me would be with Yu Minglang, right? Come on, let’s not lie in front of the deceased. Let me tell you what kind of woman I am.”
Yu Minglang watched from afar as Xiao Qian chatted with Zeng Rong, quickly texting on his phone with one hand.
Xiao Qian didn’t know what she said to Zeng Rong, and her back was turned to Yu Minglang. All he could see was her trembling.
Did Xiao Qian make him cry?
Xiao Qian talked with Zeng Rong for a long time.
In the end, Xiao Qian reached out and hugged Zeng Rong, like a mother comforting her child, gently patting his shoulders. Zeng Rong’s emotions appeared completely out of control, as he silently wept before breaking into loud sobs.
To make a man with an iron will cry, Xiao Qian was indeed remarkable.
“I promise you, I will do as you wished. I am not a good person, I don’t have too many constraints. It’s suitable for me to handle this. Can you let go of the resentment in your heart?”
“Thank you…” After chatting with Xiao Qian for a while, Zeng Rong felt a weight that had been on his heart for many years had eased a lot.
“You’re welcome. I’m not doing this for you; I’m doing it for my mentor. That woman took money she shouldn’t have taken and forgot what she should have done. I won’t let her spend the money your good friend traded his life for comfortably. Now, are you at ease knowing Yu Minglang is with me, a bad woman?”
“I was wrong; you are different from that woman. Being with you, One will not follow in Lone Wolf’s footsteps. I shouldn’t have made that call to you.”
“So, did you also tell the Yu Family relatives about me being abducted? How did you know Yu Minglang’s relatives’ phone number?” Xiao Qian asked.
Zeng Rong was startled.
“I did not call One’s relatives. I would never do something so despicable.” He had misjudged Xiao Qian, thinking she was like Lone Wolf’s girlfriend, unable to share hardships. That’s why he slanted his words when informing her about Yu Minglang’s injury.
But Zeng Rong’s starting point was not sinister; he merely wanted to protect his friend. Although his approach was wrong, he was not mean enough to make a joke about a girl’s reputation.
In such a short time, Xiao Qian had provided psychotherapy for him. As Yu Minglang predicted, Zeng Rong felt guilty and deeply remorseful towards Xiao Qian. And Xiao Qian had gained a certain understanding of Zeng Rong’s character.
This man might not be smart, or even too inflexible, but he was definitely not a lowlife. Besides, from the perspective of interests, he, a man about to leave, had no reason to harm Yu Minglang.
Xiao Qian rubbed her temples, realizing she had been on the wrong track from the beginning.
Rong Yuan only made one call to her, informing her of Yu Minglang’s injuries, claiming to be afraid that Xiao Qian would distract Yu Minglang and cause a tragedy like Lone Wolf’s.
So that meant there was still a pair of hateful eyes behind the scenes, watching her and Yu Minglang, and someone else told the Yu Family that Xiao Qian was abducted.
To find the person who had been acting behind the scenes, it was not difficult. Excluding those around Yu Minglang, the only ones left were the people from the Yu Family.
As for who this “insider” really was, the scope had already been narrowed down considerably.
After talking with Xiao Qian, Zeng Rong finally untied the knot in his heart that had been bothering him for years.
“I owe you an apology. I will take this as a lesson.” Zeng Rong sincerely apologized.
“Often, what you think is best for someone may not actually be the case, because the world in your eyes is not the same as the world in the eyes of the people you care about.”
“Thank you and One for helping me understand this before I leave. I believe One will do better and thrive with a ‘bad woman’ like you by his side. If possible, I would like to stay and watch more of them. But…””
Zeng Rong’s body had already reached its limit.
It was only when it was time to leave that one realized how much they were reluctant to let go, how difficult it was to part with everything and all the friends he had spent day after day with.
“Is this how you’re leaving?” Xiao Qian asked Zeng Rong, who had already picked up his luggage and was ready to leave.
Just this small bag of belongings and a body full of scars and pain was all he could take with him?
“I have no face to see One if I don’t leave. He is really cunning. I am leaving, and yet he brought you here, leaving a permanent scar in my heart. It hurts more than a slap on the face. He succeeded, and I will feel guilty for a lifetime.”
Xiao Qian shook her head.
“If he wanted to make you feel bad for a lifetime, he wouldn’t have brought me here. If he wanted to, his words alone could make you uncomfortable for the rest of your life. He brought me here not to let you leave with unease, regret, and even hatred. Carrying such a heavy burden, your future would be painful. Ending this journey might just be the completion of one phase of your life; better lives await you in the future. Now, you can see that One, who inherits your good friend Lone Wolf’s wishes, will overcome all obstacles and reach the place you all agreed upon.”
Chen Xiaoqian’s excellence and perfection made Zeng Rong deeply remorseful. Yu Minglang had succeeded.
Yu Minglang not only proved his good taste, but he also indirectly assured his friend that he would live a serious life.
“Zeng Rong! In all these years, haven’t you left anything behind other than your memories and scars? Have you forgotten about them?”
As Xiaoqian finished speaking, Zeng Rong turned around and saw the brothers who had been through everything together appear beside Yu Minglang. For many years in the past, they had faced life and death together.
It was only because he feared goodbyes that he wanted to leave alone, but Yu Minglang had informed them all.
“Brotherhood will not diminish just because you leave. Rong Yuan, take care!” After Xiao Qian finished speaking, Yu Minglang led the group in shouting together.
“Rong Yuan, have a safe journey!”
Zeng Rong turned around, not wanting everyone to see his tears when bidding farewell. He looked up at the sky, tears rolling down his cheeks. Even iron men fear parting from good friends.
Yu Minglang indeed handled things quite expertly. Before Zeng Rong left, he had tried to sabotage his relationship with Xiao Qian, but Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian had dealt with the matter in the most appropriate way.
This was the most acceptable form of “revenge.”
No one could understand the feeling of watching a good friend leave. Those who have not experienced it will never understand this kind of brotherhood. The tombstone of Lone Wolf silently witnessed everything.
The indomitable spirit carried on in Yu Minglang and his team, the spiritual flame still being passed on.
Xiao Qian watched them bid farewell to their former brother in the most solemn and mournful way. Perhaps one day, the brothers who had fought alongside Yu Minglang would also have personnel changes, but their spirit would spread like sparks and bloom everywhere.
