Li Youwei was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Liangzi, don't have any psychological burden on this matter. Your and Zhang Mei's matchmaker is Chu Heng. I have known about this for a long time. I have known about it since you just got married. But since you
I don’t want to say it, and I don’t want to bring it up, because I don’t think it will have any impact on the relationship between you and me.
Also, it was Chu Heng who was responsible for me going in. This matter has occurred to me from the moment I was detained. Zhang Mei cannot be blamed for this matter. I think she should have said it accidentally in front of Chu Heng.
After all, she and you are a couple, and no matter what, she has no reason to deliberately involve you in this matter..."
Hearing what Li Youwei said, Qiao Liang felt even more guilty. The boss didn't know the inside story, and he couldn't tell him the inside story now.
Li Youwei continued: "Also, I can't blame anyone for this matter. I can only blame myself. A fly doesn't bite a seamless egg. I made my own mistakes. I have to reflect on myself deeply. Chu Heng did this
, you can’t say anything wrong, and you don’t have to blame yourself.”
Qiao Liang looked at Li Youwei blankly.
Li Youwei sighed: "So, I have always been worried that I have implicated you. It was me who delayed your future."
"No, no, boss, you absolutely can't say that." Qiao Liang's voice was trembling.
"Whether you say it or not, this is the fact. Don't say that your previous progress is the result of my cultivation. In fact, depending on your ability, even without me, even with others, you will still make good progress. But because of me, you
But we suffered a heavy setback..." Li Youwei looked ashamed.
"Boss, you..." Qiao Liang was a little excited and didn't know what to say.
Fang Xiaoya understood it now and couldn't help but be moved by Qiao Liang and Li Youwei's feelings for each other.
"Brother Li, Qiao Liang, let bygones be bygones. Let's look forward. Now Brother Li has started a new life, and Qiao Liang has resumed his normal education. This is very gratifying."
"Yes, look forward." Gu Shuyun nodded hurriedly.
Li Youwei laughed and raised his glass: "Liangzi, come on, keep drinking..."
After a while, Gu Shuyun went to the kitchen to make dumplings, and Fang Xiaoya went to help.
Li Youwei looked at Qiao Liang: "Liangzi, now that you know it was Chu Heng who did it, do you hate him?"
"Hate!" Qiao Liang nodded without hesitation.
"Just because of what he did?"
Qiao Liang shook his head.
"Then why?"
Qiao Liang hesitated for a moment: "I'm sorry, boss, I can't tell you right now."
Li Youwei looked at Qiao Liang silently and nodded: "Okay, since you don't want to say it now, I won't force you. But I want to remind you that no matter what reason you hate Chu Heng, don't show it in front of him.
In the officialdom, if you want to survive and develop, you must learn to hide your true emotions and learn to wear a mask to deal with the people around you..."
Qiao Liang listened carefully.
Li Youwei continued: "Although Chu Heng is the matchmaker for your marriage, and although you hate Chu Heng now, I still don't want you to affect your marriage because of this. I am very willing to see you and Zhang Mei reconcile.
You are living a beautiful life, you must not be angry with Zhang Mei because of this incident of mine."
After hearing what Li Youwei said, Qiao Liang was moved by Li Youwei's tolerance and generosity, but felt aggrieved and reluctantly nodded.
Li Youwei then said with emotion: "The officialdom is unfathomable, the struggle is dangerous, and traps and traps are everywhere. Since you have embarked on this road, you must be cautious every step in the future and think twice before doing anything. Many times, you
with a kind heart
You are kind to others, but others may not treat you with the same kindness, and may even take advantage of your kindness to kill you. Therefore, Liangzi, you must be more careful when you are in the officialdom. You cannot harm others, but you must also be careful.
Being tricked."
"Boss, you mean I can only defend?"
"No, in the face of your opponent's plot, you must attack when it's time to counterattack, but you must learn to use conspiracy to deal with conspiracy. To fight evil with evil means that you put yourself in the same despicable position as your opponent, which is very undesirable
of."
Qiao Liang thought about Li Youwei's words. Back then, he had plotted against conspiracies and used evil to fight evil. Now he teaches himself with his own personal experience and lessons.
After experiencing this disaster, Li Youwei seemed to have become more mature and stable in his thinking and consciousness.
Although Li Youwei has left officialdom, Qiao Liang still subconsciously regards him as his mentor.
It seems that everyone needs a mentor in their growth.
Although needed, not everyone can find the mentor they want.
Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel happy for himself.
After dinner, after drinking tea and chatting for a while, Qiao Liang and Fang Xiaoya said goodbye.
After leaving Li Youwei's home, the cold wind was howling outside, snowflakes were flying in the night sky, and there was a thin layer of snow on the ground.
The first snow of this winter has arrived.
Fang Xiaoya's car stopped at the door and sent Qiao Liang home first.
On the way, Qiao Liang was silent, thinking about the conversation with Li Youwei tonight, feeling very sad.
Seeing that Qiao Liang didn't speak, Fang Xiaoya didn't bother him and sat silently beside him.
Only tonight did Fang Xiaoya find out that Li Youwei's entry was related to Zhang Mei. Li Youwei's opponent in the officialdom turned out to be Qiao Liang and Zhang Mei's matchmaker. Qiao Liang had been hiding this from Li Youwei before, and Li Youwei
I already knew it but didn't say it.
Fang Xiaoya had an intuition before that Qiao Liang's marriage was unhappy, and now this intuition became more obvious.
Fang Xiaoya also felt that Qiao Liang was hiding a lot of worries in his heart at this time, which he seemed unwilling to tell anyone, and which seemed to be related to his marriage.
I can feel it myself, but I wonder if Li Youwei will feel it.
Thinking about her past with Qiao Liang and Qiao Liang's current unhappy marriage, Fang Xiaoya couldn't help but feel sad and let out a slight sigh.
When they arrived at the gate of Qiao Liang's community, Qiao Liang got out of the car and Fang Xiaoya also got out of the car. The two of them watched silently as the flying snowflakes fell on them.
"Xiaoya, get in the car."
Fang Xiaoya nodded, but stood still. In the snowy night, she looked at Qiao Liang with clear eyes, and there was something in her eyes that Qiao Liang could not understand for a while.
"Xiaoya, what do you want to say?"
"I want to say... you are very tired." Fang Xiaoya said softly, with a bit of heartache in her tone.
Qiao Liang's heart trembled. Yes, he has been very tired recently, tired from work, tired from life, tired from body, and even tired from heart.
Qiao Liang looked up at the vast snowy night. The cold snowflakes fell on his face, melting quickly and trickling water slowly flowing down.
After a long while, Qiao Liang said slowly: "Tiredness is inevitable in life. In this life, no matter what goes well or not, it is destined."
Qiao Liang's words contained powerless helplessness and desolate pathos. Fang Xiaoya felt heartbroken again and her eyes became wet after hearing this.
"Qiao Liang, I don't want you to be like this, you shouldn't be like this." Fang Xiaoya said heartbrokenly.
Qiao Liang smiled sadly: "This is not something I want or not, but an arrangement of fate, which I cannot resist or change."
"No, you can resist, you can change, as long as you are willing, I can do anything for you." Fang Xiaoya said excitedly.
Qiao Liang was moved in her heart. Fang Xiaoya was really kind to her. Over the years, her pure and solemn desire for him has never changed.
But Qiao Liang is clearly aware of the reality he is facing. At this time, he cannot let Fang Xiaoya do anything for him, nor can he mislead Fang Xiaoya.
"Xiaoya, thank you. I think I should resolve my own affairs by myself." Qiao Liang's tone was firm.
Fang Xiaoya was a little confused at this time. She didn't know what Qiao Liang was talking about about him, let alone how he wanted to solve it.
Looking at Fang Xiaoya's confused expression, Qiao Liang smiled and reached out to pat the snowflakes on her shoulder: "It's too cold. Get in the car and go back early to rest."
"It's such a cold day, you are stuck here, what are you doing?" A cold voice came from behind.
