Chapter: 4249

As he spoke, Chen Zhaozhong continued: "Someone told me that she might have sought short-term happiness, so I went to the police station to check on missing persons information, but I didn't believe it. Because if she really did seek short-term happiness, she wouldn't be carrying her passport with her, and as non-permanent residents, her only purpose in carrying the passport would be to deliberately reveal her identity and then be sent back to Hong Kong. So at that time, I knew she must have already gone back to Hong Kong."

"He was in this uncertain state for about half a year until Liu's original wife passed away. Then she suddenly appeared in public as Liu's official girlfriend."

"It wasn't long before they got married. The wedding was very grand, with famous people and tycoons from Hong Kong attending. I also bought some newspapers and magazines from Hong Kong to report on her wedding, which had many photos of the event. Seeing her happiness in those photos, I felt at ease. From then on, I focused on running this small restaurant until now..."

Duan Ye listened to this point, not knowing what to say anymore.

It sounded like Chen Zhaozhong had paid so much for love, only to end up with a futile effort.

Even he can say that he has sacrificed his wife and lost an army.

Moreover, he was already a top-notch elite in Hong Kong, to the extent that he could even make his father visit him three times, and one can say that his original life had endless possibilities.

But ultimately, he not only gave up everything he had, but also offended a big shot who couldn't be provoked, which is why he has been unable to return to Hong Kong or live in the United States with a rational and legal identity for over 20 years...

He says he spent his whole life ruined by this decision, and it's not worth it.

Thinking about this, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask him: "Uncle Zhong, do you regret these things?"

Zhong Zhaozhong shook his head and smiled faintly: "There's nothing to regret. People must take responsibility for their own decisions. I was really hoping to follow her to the end back then, but at that time I was blinded by love and couldn't objectively analyze the feasibility of this matter from multiple angles."

As he spoke again with a smile: "People say it's hard for heroes to pass through the beauty's gates. What about me back then? I wasn't even a hero, let alone young and reckless, thinking that the most important thing was when two people were in love, but didn't understand that one person can make different decisions at different times and locations..."

"Some women, having lived in cages for so long, will nurture a longing for nature within their hearts, feeling that they would be perfect only if they could plunge headfirst into nature;"

"But most of them are not really yearning for nature, but rather have had too much to eat and live too comfortably. They would start missing their old cage once they flew into the natural world and experienced wind, rain, sunshine, snow, and hunger..."

"This moment, the cage in her eyes was no longer a cage, but a palace to be revered."

Ye Chen nodded and said with a bitter smile: "Unlike her, I really long for nature, so it's normal that we parted ways."

After a brief pause, Ye Chen lifted his wine cup, took a sip, and put it down, smiling wryly: "However, love is like this - one must have the courage to take risks without hesitation. If everything is calculated ten steps ahead and ten steps back, and then weighs the pros and cons to make the most advantageous choice, that's not love anymore, it's business. I still hope for love to be simple."

Ye Chen listened with a broad smile, and his expression also gained a few degrees of respect.

Next, he asked: "Have you thought about going back to Hong Kong?"

Ye Chen smiled: "I've thought about it, but Liu's people won't let me go. Originally, I was determined not to give up my life, even after they got married. That debt also remained, and even then, someone had planned to find out where I went in the United States, and later, Mr. Gu went to Hong Kong to negotiate with him. His intention was that I had become a shame pillar in his life, and he could give Mr. Gu a face without pursuing me anymore, but I also need self-awareness - I can never go back to Hong Kong for the rest of my life."

Ye Chen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and spoke coldly: "Liu's people are really going too far!"

Ye Chen smiled: "It's understandable. After all, my behavior has made him very embarrassed in Hong Kong, and for wealthy people, face is often more important than anything else."

Ye Chen slightly nodded his head, thinking of telling Ye Chen that if Ye Chen wanted to go back, he would definitely help him deal with that wealthy Liu.

He even thought about telling Ye Chen that if Ye Chen was willing to cooperate with him in the future and lend a helping hand, he would definitely let him have a thrilling reversal of fortune.

However, Ye Chen thought for a moment and then felt that today was his first meeting with Chen Zhongzhang, so if he were to bring it up now, it would seem too deliberate. JrNovels.com
