Chapter 286 Oh, let’s talk business

Liu Zhiyue met Chen Heng's understanding gaze again.

"Although I haven't experienced your difficulties, I can imagine them. In order to protect yourself, you are forced to do some things." Most people can only look at problems from their own perspective. If they think about others a little bit, it's as if they have suffered a great injustice. Liu Zhiyue is one of them. Chen Heng said: "Xie Jian is wrong, and the sister-in-law is also wrong. One is wrong for calculating, and the other is wrong for forcing marriage." She has never denied this point.

She can distinguish right from wrong better than anyone else.

"But they, like you, are forced to do certain things." If suffering had a hierarchy, Shen Heng felt that Liu Zhiyue's situation was nothing compared to the Xie family's. Xie Jian and his sister-in-law had put in so much effort and endured so much humiliation to redress their grievances and find the Xie family's eldest brother. But had she, Liu Zhiyue, ever faced it with a positive attitude?

Didn’t see it.

People only magnify their own sorrow and pain, thinking that everything they do is justified. The sorrow and pain of others is not worth mentioning. In their own world, they are the cornerstone, feeling sorry for themselves and hoping for pity from others.

Little do they know that finding ways to face it is much more useful than feeling sorry for themselves or expecting others to pity them.

There is a saying that goes, "Life belongs to everyone's own feelings, not to anyone else's opinions."

If she wanted to persuade Liu Zhiyue, she couldn't let Liu Zhiyue think that what she said was just the opinion of an outsider.

Just as Chen Heng was thinking about how to explain it to Liu Zhiyue, she heard her say, "I did resent it in the past. After marrying Chao Ge'er, I've come to my senses. My grandfather liked Xie Jian and thought he would have a bright future, so he arranged a marriage. But when things didn't go well, he broke off the engagement to avoid any scandal. Good or bad is all decided by the Shen family. So what does the Xie family mean? If someone treated my Chao Ge'er like this, I would force a marriage too."

The root of this problem is that her biological father abandoned her.

Chen Heng looked at her in surprise. Was this something Liu Zhiyue would say?

"Don't look at me like that. After all, I'm a relative." Liu Zhiyue smiled helplessly. "I kind of understand Xia's thinking. Since I've married into the Xie family, I'm already family in Xia's eyes. Helping the Xie family is also helping myself. Why would I bother with the guarantee? Isn't that reasonable?"

If she has a daughter-in-law in the future, she will also ask her daughter-in-law to help her son. Isn't that normal? Prosperity is shared by all.

Suddenly, he understood everything so clearly? Shen Heng was surprised.

"I've figured it out a long time ago. It's okay if I don't see the Xie family on a regular basis, but I'm still angry when I see Xie Jian every day. I'm just telling you this, why do you have to be so sharp? Some things are embarrassing to say so bluntly." Liu Zhiyue regretted eloping. Whenever she thought about it, she felt that she was so confused and really didn't want to face it.

Chen Heng: "..." The painting style changed a little too quickly.

"I'm no longer the Liu Zhiyue you knew." Liu Zhiyue smiled in relief: "Why can Xie Jian get better and better, but I can't? I want to live a better life than him."

Why can this Chen Heng live such a good life after replacing her, but she can't?

This is really possible. Chen Heng said, "If one day, you can change many of the rules of this world, then there will be no more forced marriages like my sister-in-law Xia's, and Xie Jian's schemes will not succeed."

There are too many constraints and sacrifices under the feudal dregs.

"What's the meaning?"

"I just said what I felt, Liu Zhiyue. If possible, try not to kill those who are forced to do things for themselves. Relationships between people don't have to be a life-and-death struggle in order to survive." There is always a lack of endless revenge in stories, which will harm many innocent people.

Seeing the sincerity and kindness in Chen Heng's eyes, Liu Zhiyue was silent for a long time and nodded.

Chen Heng was surprised at Liu Zhiyue's transformation, the change was so huge.

"I won't mention Xie Jian's affairs again. You shouldn't mention my affairs either. This time, I have resentment, but no hatred. I believe that next time we meet, we can face it calmly." Liu Zhiyue stopped and looked at Chen Heng, then put on the airs of the county magistrate and the young lady of the Si family and said lightly, "It's getting late, I should go."

Shen Heng bowed.
