"Li Ming is not as bad as you say!" Li Yongchang snorted.
Ma Xiaoyao smiled faintly: "Mayor Li, let me ask you: Without your secret support, would Li Ming be able to become the county magistrate of Dongcheng County with his own ability?"
"I..." Li Yongchang was immediately speechless. His son knew best. Without his secret support, Li Ming would never have been able to become the county magistrate in his eight lifetimes, let alone the county magistrate, just a small director.
It's also very difficult.
Ma Xiaoyao glanced at Li Yongchang: "This world is unfair. People face unfairness from birth. Some people are reincarnated into powerful families. They have no worries about food and clothing since childhood, but they will still have problems when they grow up.
There is a bright future. Some people are reincarnated into ordinary families and live a hard life since they were young. When they grow up, they have to work hard, work hard, and work hard all their lives. The money they earn is not as good as those rich and middle-class people.
If you have to pay for a meal, this is the difference, this is unfair!"
"Since ancient times, this world has never been truly fair. It has never been fair before and it never will be in the future!" Li Yongchang snorted.
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "You are right, as long as people are selfish, the world will never be truly fair!"
"As long as you understand." Li Yongchang exhaled a puff of smoke: "Reincarnation itself is a kind of luck. People with good luck will be rich for a lifetime, while people with bad luck will be poor for a lifetime. There is nothing to complain about. If you must complain, don't
When you complain about society, you should complain about luck and why God doesn’t give you such good luck!”
"Haha..." Ma Xiaoyao laughed: "Mayor Li, although what you said is very unpleasant, it makes sense. Yes, reincarnation itself is a kind of luck. Whoever is lucky can be reincarnated in a good place.
If you have bad luck...then you have to accept the reality..." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao paused: "Li Ming is very lucky, he was reborn into a good family."
Li Yongchang glanced sideways at Ma Xiaoyao: "You envy Li Ming, right?"
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I do feel a little envious... Li Ming has had a higher starting point than many people since he was born. If he works harder and makes progress, he will definitely have a good future. It's a pity... Superior
The life he led made Li Ming lazy, and Mayor Li's care made Li Ming arrogant and arrogant. He eventually ended up being sentenced to prison... At this point, I have to say a few more words, I know.
In order to avoid going to jail, Li Ming deliberately mutilated himself... I would like to ask Mayor Li, Li Ming can't mutilate himself for the rest of his life, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Yongchang glared at Ma Xiaoyao: "My son did not harm himself!"
Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "Everyone knows whether your son has self-mutilated."
"You..." Li Yongchang was about to get angry, but was interrupted by Ma Xiaoyao.
"Okay, if you don't want to listen, I won't say anything." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Let's talk about something serious." Ma Xiaoyao put out the burned cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can next to him.
Li: "Mayor Li, I want to ask you, do you regret it?"
Li Yongchang frowned: "What do you regret?"
"I regret not disciplining my son well, regretting marrying a ostentatious wife, regretting being my enemy..." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"You really want to hear me say regret, right?" Li Yongchang snorted coldly: "I just won't say it. Let me tell you, I don't regret it at all! Yes, Li Ming does not let me worry, but
After all, he is my biological son. Even if he is in trouble, I, as a father, will not give up on him, and my wife..." At this point, Li Yongchang paused: "My wife is younger than me.
At ten years old, although we are still in love, the age gap can never be crossed... I am getting older day by day, but my wife is becoming more beautiful day by day. We are people from two worlds. When we were combined, we became one.
Wrong... As for being your enemy..." At this point, Li Yongchang suddenly stopped.
"Go on, why don't you say anything anymore?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
Li Yongchang flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, then stretched out his hand towards Ma Xiaoyao: "Give me another cigarette."
"Here, give it all to you." Ma Xiaoyao handed over the cigarette case and lighter.
Li Yongchang skillfully took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a nice puff. Two puffs of smoke slowly came out of his nostrils: "Cigarettes are a good thing. No matter how bad your mood is, as long as you take a few puffs, your mood will instantly change."
It will calm down.”
"Smoking can indeed calm your mood, but it can also harm your body," Ma Xiaoyao said.
"There is no such thing as the best of both worlds." Li Yongchang took another puff of cigarette: "Ma Xiaoyao, I am your enemy... I don't regret it. Even if my son didn't cause the problem, I would still become your enemy. I think
Do you know the reason?"
Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "I'm all ears."
"You are too strong, so strong that it makes people scared!" Li Yongchang said what was in his heart for the first time: "No leader will like a strong subordinate like you. In order to ensure his majesty, he can only find ways to do so."
It will hit you..."
Strong? Is he really that strong? Ma Xiaoyao thought about it carefully and it seems... Li Yongchang is right. He has indeed been a bit strong in recent years... It seems that he will try to restrain himself in the future.
"Ma Xiaoyao, do you want to hear my evaluation of you?" Li Yongchang asked calmly.
"Of course I want to hear it." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.
Li Yongchang gently exhaled a puff of smoke and said slowly: "You... are a terrible, hateful and respectable opponent. You are very strong, so strong that it scares me. You are very capable of tormenting me. You often act against me, which makes me lose everything."
Face, so I hate you, I hate you to the point of itch! But then again, you are very capable, very principled in doing things, and know how to win over the people... No matter what you do, you will get the support of your subordinates and the people.
Love, this makes me admire you very much!”
"Mayor Li deserves the award, I just did what I should do..." Ma Xiaoyao said modestly.
Li Yongchang pouted: "Humility is a virtue, but excessive modesty is hypocrisy!"
"I...Okay, I shut up, I won't talk anymore." Ma Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Once upon a time, I didn't take you as a little person seriously at all. I thought I could destroy you with just a few clicks of my fingers. But then I realized...I was wrong. I underestimated you too much. On the surface, you seemed like
There is no scheming, but in fact you are a very fierce opponent. Because of his contempt, you have the opportunity to rise... and also laid a landmine for myself that can be shattered to pieces at any time." Li Yongchang sighed:
"I regret so much. When you were still a small village head, I should have spared no effort to destroy you. It's a pity, I despised you too much... Sigh..."
"It's useless to regret! There is no regret medicine in this world!" Ma Xiaoyao said calmly: "What is the saddest thing in a person's life? It is regretting after doing something wrong! Alas... No one can make mistakes without being a sage.
?As long as you are a human being, you will make mistakes, and when you make mistakes, you will regret it... As long as you regret it, you will be sad... This is inevitable."
Li Yongchang nodded: "You are right, as long as you are a human being, you will make mistakes... However, if you make some mistakes, there are ways to make up for them, and if you make some mistakes, you will fall into a situation that will never be recovered."
The two chatted for a long time, chatting about life ideals, chatting about grievances, chatting about regrets and mistakes, chatting about the future path... In short, the two of them talked about everything... If you are not familiar with their relationship,
When people saw it, they thought the two were good friends for many years.
"Okay, it's getting late, I have to leave." Ma Xiaoyao pushed the chair away and stood up.
Li Yongchang sat on the chair and did not move: "This should be... the last time we meet, right?"
"No." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "I will come back to see you when I have time in the future."
"You don't need to come. I have nothing to say to you anymore." Li Yongchang slowly stood up holding the table and took a deep look at Ma Xiaoyao: "Ma Xiaoyao, I'm looking forward to it... I don't know what you will do in the future.
Where have we arrived? I hope you can give me a big surprise!" At this point, Li Yongchang picked up the cigarette case and lighter from the table: "Just give these two things to me." After that, Li Yongchang said
Turn around and leave.
Looking at Li Yongchang's leaving figure, Ma Xiaoyao secretly sighed. What was once such a glorious place has now become a prisoner! Ma Xiaoyao secretly told himself that he must be cautious in the future and never follow in Li Yongchang's footsteps!
After Li Yongchang's back completely disappeared, Ma Xiaoyao left the prison.
…
Let’s talk about Li Ming.
When he learned that his father had been arrested by the police, he immediately became anxious. He wanted to see Li Yongchang, but the policeman who guarded him refused. The reason for the refusal was simple. Li Ming was now a prisoner, and he was not allowed to see him at all.
I have no right to see Li Yongchang.
In this way, Li Ming spent a few days in the hospital in fear, and then he heard that Li Yongchang was sentenced to prison, and he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
Li Ming's vision went dark and he almost fainted.
"Impossible! I don't believe it!! I don't believe it!" Li Ming yelled: "I want to see my dad, I want to see my dad!"
The policemen who were guarding Li Ming immediately called the doctor. Without saying anything, the doctor directly gave Li Ming a shot of sedative. Poor Li Ming was immediately hypnotized by the drug...
When Li Ming regained consciousness, it was already night. He remembered that his father had been sentenced, and he suddenly became anxious. He struggled to see Li Yongchang, but within a few minutes of the commotion, the doctor ran into the ward.
, and then gave Li Ming another injection of sedative... When Li Ming was about to fall asleep, he heard the doctor saying to the police: "When he wakes up and starts going crazy again, call me immediately and I will sedate him again."
Potion!"
"Damn..." Li Ming only had time to curse two words, then his head tilted and he fell asleep.
When he woke up again, it was already the next morning.
