Chapter 363: Choice, Change, and Abandonment
So Zheng Xiuheng started to work harder for his own ideas. As for his sister, it had nothing to do with career ambition. It was a spiritual feeling that he would not give up.
Zheng Xiuheng only now understood what Zheng Qilong meant by his words. After he set up the trap and killed Zheng Qilong with the help of the Samsung Li family, he could no longer wash himself clean.
Even if he and his police friend avoided meeting each other, the secret was ultimately in the hands of others. He didn't need to spend too much effort. He just had to hand over the evidence to the police station or expose it, and the result didn't need to be stated.
Just like Jin Chengji of Qingsong Hall, he is a very ruthless figure in the emerging gang, but now he is running a gym in the open. Compared with being black or white, he cares more about his status and how high he can climb.
Zheng Xiuheng seemed to be moving in the same direction, but the difference was that his goal was very clear. His target was not someone else, but Han Zhenyu's Li family and Fang Shirong.
What remains is to do what he likes to do. Work and career are not what Zheng Xiuheng likes, but they are what he wants to do now, and of course music is one of the things he likes.
Zheng Xiuheng's outrageously straightforward attitude completely shocked Lee Hyori, and at this moment she finally saw through Zheng Xiuheng.
The thought of fear occupied his mind for a moment, but when he thought of Zheng Xiuheng and his past, his expression relaxed again.
"Why, tell me these secrets, this..."
"I just believe you!"
Zheng Xiuheng interrupted what Lee Hyo-ri wanted to say. There was no need to say those unnecessary remarks. As he said, he did believe Lee Hyo-ri.
"Can you promise me something?"
"What's up?"
"I'll be your woman!"
Zheng Xiuheng was completely shocked for the first time, so he opened his eyes wide and was a little confused.
Lee Hyo-ri said sincerely, "But you have to agree to leave Korea with me. You can take your sister with you, or you can take Han Ga-in with you. I will retire directly, and we can live in the countryside as you wish. Is that okay? I have a lot of money, and you can let Han Zhenyu manage the company, so even if we don't work for the rest of our lives, we can still live a good life. Can you promise me?"
Zheng Xiuheng sat on the chair and stared at Lee Hyo-ri on the table. His mind was confused for a moment, and he even had the urge to agree to her. For Zheng Xiuheng, there are only two things to do when he returns home: one is what he likes, and the other is what he wants to do.
There is no difference between the two in terms of order, otherwise Zheng Xiuheng would not have given up music because of his friend's death.
So Zheng Xiuheng's rural plan is real. His goal is to develop his career within ten to fifteen years. When he is almost forty years old, if he still works hard to make money like he did when he was young, it will not suit his personality. It will be better to enjoy life at that time. This time may even be shortened, as long as he has completed everything he wants to do.
Moreover, what Lee Hyori said about taking her sister with her seems very difficult now. Even if Zheng Xiuheng now has a little confidence that he can convince Xiuyeon and they can restore their relationship, or even convince her to leave with him, but can children like them really endure that kind of dull life?
At least Zheng Xiuheng can't do it now. After being completely liberated, in addition to facing himself, Zheng Xiuheng also has a lot of things he wants to do, although they are all small things. For example, he has become more and more greedy recently, and has started to pick up the musical instruments that he threw away when he was a child, and he is becoming more and more interested in them. These are all changes in Zheng Xiuheng. In fact, Zheng Xiuheng now seems like a normal person, although he is not perfect at all.
Coming back to his senses, Zheng Xiuheng was once again moved by Lee Hyori. She suddenly agreed to be his woman, and was even willing to be with Han Ga-in. Zheng Xiuheng didn't think that she loved him madly, but more like she was worried about him and wanted to keep him away from it all. Of course, it is undeniable that if he didn't love this person, he would not have made such a choice.
"Thank you, but not now. Don't worry, I'm just telling you the reality. I'm not as scary as you think. It's like I know where my bottom line is. Similarly, only things that touch my bottom line will make me lose control. But it's hard for such a thing to happen. Am I not doing well now?"
In the office with the curtains drawn, not a single ray of sunlight could be seen. For the first time, Lee Hyori saw Jung Soo-heng clearly and finally understood why he said he hated this country.
The brother in Krystal Jung's mouth, the Zheng Xiuheng , and the Zheng Xiuheng who is still a little naive when he first arrived in Korea, have all been changed by the time they have spent in Korea.
Lee Hyo-ri sat down again, sitting on Zheng Xiuheng's lap, stretched out her hands to hold Zheng Xiuheng's head, hugged him tightly in her arms, and said with some sadness: "I'm sorry... If we could have known each other earlier, when Han Ga-in knew you... Maybe everything would be different!"
In fact, Lee Hyori never said that in her eyes, Jung Soo-hyung was like a child pretending to be an adult, and a willful child. But this was in terms of personal feelings, and in other aspects, Jung Soo-hyung showed many values that a mature man possessed, especially the way he treated her as a little woman, which made her heart beat.
However, after learning about Jung Soo-hyung's past, Lee Hyo-ri has always wanted to help Jung Soo-hyung and has been treating him more like a child.
But now she knew that Zheng Xiuheng was really not a child anymore, so she felt a little sad. For the first time, she felt extremely regretful and even a little sorry for meeting someone too late. She couldn't tell why, maybe because she was Korean, maybe because she really fell in love with this guy, or maybe she still wanted to find an excuse to be with him.
"I am willing to give up some of my persistence for you. I need your commitment, but what are you willing to give up for me?"
Lee Hyori finally made a decision to forget Han Ga In and no longer wanted to compete with her. Even if she was unhappy in the future, she would just stop talking to her forever. But for Zheng Xiuheng, she decided not to give up. Although it was a bit absurd, it was difficult to change her decision.
Because she is Lee Hyori...
Zheng Xiuheng was once again surprised and didn't know what to say. He really didn't expect Lee Hyo-ri to suddenly make such a choice. What he said just now was just to explain that even if he chose to let go, his selfish behavior would not stop. And he wanted to tell Lee Hyo-ri everything, not because he was hot-headed, but because he didn't want her to have any doubts.
But Lee Hyori's choice made Zheng Xiuheng a little confused after being surprised. That feeling made people feel frustrated and suddenly felt helpless. It seemed that even if they wanted to be a bad guy, it would be difficult.
But precisely because of this, Zheng Xiuheng really wanted to ask these two women, what on earth could he use to love them?
In fact, Zheng Xiuheng really couldn’t think of it, and even didn’t dare to say to the two women, “This is our love,” because doesn’t it sound very ironic?
“What am I giving up?”
Zheng Xiuheng asked in a somewhat dry voice. He really didn't know what he should give up at this time.
Lee Hyo-ri no longer looked like she was always bullied by Jung Soo-heng. Instead, she hugged him and said seriously, "Give up those bad things. I chose to be with you, although I don't know if it will be for a lifetime, but this is not my impulse. I hope you understand that if we are really together, even for a lifetime, even if we don't get married in the future, we will definitely have children and a family. You should . I don't want to ask you to change anything, but you must give up some of the things you just said!"
"I don't care about your past, nor do I care about what you will do in the future. But you must remember that if you don't consider me or that woman in all things, then you don't need to be with anyone. You just need to play with each other at any time. When you need a woman, just find a woman!"
"But since you have feelings, you must give up your previous idea. It is indeed difficult into white, but..."
“Crash!”
"But you must work hard to live in the sunshine, so that you deserve love and a sister as cute as Xiujing!"
The sunlight at five o'clock in the afternoon was very gentle. Lee Hyori reached out and directly pulled open the curtains behind the chair. Although it was separated by a window, the sunlight still shone on Zheng Xiuheng.
Walking in this colorful world, we can always experience all kinds of ordinary, magical and strange things. Everyone will have brilliant moments, but the most brilliant moments are the most confusing. Everyone will have times of depression and unbearableness. Moments of depression and dissatisfaction are the easiest to make people sink or change drastically.
In fact, Zheng Xiuheng never realized that if it weren't for the influence of his father, his behavior really didn't have too many rules. In his life, perhaps Dr. Delock was half a teacher, because most of the time, this teacher preferred to talk about things that he was interested in, and occasionally talked about some life experiences. But this old man was an extremely casual and crazy person, otherwise there would be no Zheng Xiuheng today.
So Zheng Xiuheng has been constantly changing in this country for the past two years, almost three years, but what he felt the most was depression, depression from all sides. It was not until the past few months that it started to get better, but it was triggered again because of the last trouble.
Of course, Zheng Xiuheng did not go to destruction. Instead, he felt unwilling to give up and developed a sense of professionalism, the ambition that a normal young entrepreneur should have. This meant that Zheng Xiuheng was completely facing reality.
The reality is that many times you need to compromise, you need partners, you need to deceive, you need ruthlessness, hypocrisy, power... and everything else.
Although Zheng Xiuheng hasn't changed so completely, he is indeed changing. Just like before, he would never take the initiative to find Qiu Changmin and Luo Hongzhen for drinks, nor would he talk to them about movie investment. He would also not completely ignore Bai Zhenxi's personal opinion and send her to shoot a horror movie just because he thinks she is suitable for it.
There is also a change in the attitude towards Kim Sung-chi. There is no more resistance, and people are even more willing to cooperate.
In fact, in the entertainment industry, or even in the business world, there are not that many completely clean people. If you look at the experiences of Jang Ja-yeon and Jung Da-bin, you will find the answer. If you look at SM's evaluation, you will also find the answer.
In fact, isn’t that how all businessmen rise to prominence? Even in the workplace, aren’t those who work hard to climb the career ladder also experiencing all kinds of life situations?
But...but...how should I respond to her now?
“Boom boom!”
"Brother, are you in there?"
The sun is at its brightest in August, which really makes people feel warm. Zheng Xiuheng's hesitant heart calmed down again because of Lee Hyori's words. He turned his back to the sun, raised his head and looked into her eyes.
For the first time, Zheng Xiuheng really felt that she was like an older sister. It turned out that when Lee Hyori was serious, she could make people feel the unique charm of a mature woman. Zheng Xiuheng even seemed to feel the radiance of motherhood, as if she felt that the other party wanted to protect her.
"I……"
"I'll give up that idea!"
