Xiao Chenglin glanced at Jiang Tian and said a place name.

“I don’t know if you still remember the man surnamed Cheng. When you first came to see me, he watched the commotion for a while. He was over there, so it was a good opportunity to recuperate at his place.”

Jiang Tian nodded: "I remember him. The place you're going to isn't too far from where I live, so we should get together often in the future. After all, we're friends."

friend.

Xiao Chenglin silently pondered those two words, saying nothing, but he smiled and nodded: "Okay."

"What about your family? My family has already broken off with me, so I don't need to care about them. But it's different for you."

Jiang Tian was always causing trouble outside, making her family very worried. In their minds, this eldest daughter was no longer a good family.

These people don't have such a broad perspective; they simply don't understand why Jiang Tian keeps doing things that are thankless and exhausting.

Once they get involved with them, they must sever ties with her as quickly as possible to ensure their safety.

Therefore, they had already published a notice in the newspaper a long time ago, severing ties with Jiang Tian.

Xiao Chenglin is different.

He has always been the pillar of his family, and everyone in his family knows this, so he has a very high status. Everyone respects him and relies on him for hope of survival in this chaotic world.

Because his position was so important, when news came that he seemed to have died, his family felt as if the sky had fallen.

No one could accept the cost of losing him, especially before they had fully settled down and made a living.

Fortunately, he pulled through.

If he leaves, who knows what will happen to his family.

"Don't worry, everyone has their own destiny. Since I've chosen to leave, I can no longer support them for the rest of their lives. I will find them a good place to go. If they don't want to leave, I will respect their fate."

Xiao Chenglin spoke these words in a somewhat cold tone.

He gave enough to that family.

All his achievements were earned through his own efforts; he never basked in the glory of wealth or status, let alone took advantage of his family.

His family has always relied on him; they can't let him, the eldest brother, support them forever while his family bleeds him dry.

"That's good. Now that you've made your decision, I don't think I have anything more to say."

Jiang Tian smiled and extended her hand to him: "Shake hands, and then we'll say goodbye."

Xiao Chenglin stared at her hand and couldn't help but ask, "How are things going with that Shen Suliang? I heard he's pursuing you."

It's no longer news that Shen Suliang is pursuing Jiang Tian.

The two have always been business partners, co-founded an academy, and later worked on many projects together.

They went from strangers to acquaintances, and of course, they went through many trials and tribulations.

No path you've walked has been in vain.

Jiang Tian has gained recognition from many people and has received many confessions of love.

Shen Suliang had already made his intentions clear.

He did indeed have feelings for Jiang Tian.

As a businessman with a higher education, he would not go against the will of others or do anything that would make people unhappy.

Therefore, the two of them maintained a partnership and good friendship without taking it any further.

"How do you know so much about things? How did you find out?" Jiang Tian couldn't help but laugh, she was a little curious.

"I read the newspaper in my spare time."

When Xiao Chenglin first saw the news about Jiang Tian and Shen Suliang, he was still recovering from his injury. He thought that it wouldn't be bad if the two of them were together.

Shen Suliang is at least not a bad person; he has seen it with his own eyes.

But in fact, the two of them have been good friends for so many years, but they have never chosen to take things further.

“It’s impossible between us. Our plans are not quite the same. He is a person who deserves to be remembered and a great person. He is ready to stay here and support the cause.”

Jiang Tian spoke cryptically, but Xiao Chenglin understood immediately.

His gaze became somewhat profound and indescribable.

"He is indeed worthy of respect."

After a moment of silence, he said.

"You are a hero too. We each have our own path to walk, and for the paths others have to walk, we can simply choose to support them and see them off."

Jiang Tian still seemed quite optimistic.

"You're right." Xiao Chenglin couldn't help but nod again.

People have too many choices in this world. He chose to stay away from the war, Jiang Tian wanted to fight for her own life, and Shen Suliang chose to support that side, both of them paying a heavy price with courage and sacrifice.

They were born in this era, and all the choices they make are made with a clear conscience.

"So, may we shake hands now? Has Commander Xiao almost forgotten the etiquette of a friendly farewell?"

Jiang Tian was so cheerful and generous that anyone who met her would feel her charm.

Xiao Chenglin curved his lips into a smile: "Okay."

"See you later."

"goodbye."

After undergoing surgery and recuperating abroad for a long time, Jiang Tian returned to China and resumed running her school once everything calmed down.

Xiao Chenglin also tried starting a company through a friend, devoting his extra energy to business operations.

Previously, he was very unfamiliar with the business field and always thought he was not good enough.

But after so many things happened and he had experienced so many hardships in his life, he regained the courage to try again.

So, he gradually became a small business owner.

When he returned to China, he was already considered a grandfather by others.

Jiang Tian did not choose to get married, and neither did Xiao Chenglin.

But as time has passed, some scars have remained, and they can no longer hide them.

If you're alive, just being able to laugh is already a good thing.

Shen Suliang later also came to Jiang Tian's city.

For those who have witnessed life and death and emerged from the flames of war, whether or not to get married and who to marry is no longer important; doing as one pleases is the most important thing.

However, Qin Xueyi did get married. She later chose to go abroad, met a Chinese man, and started a family with him. But because he did not meet her expectations, she divorced him and returned to her homeland with her child.

She eventually came to find Jiang Tian again.

"I've gradually realized that my pursuit of life has been too idealistic. Perhaps I've always been an idealist, and that's an unchangeable fact. But if possible, I still hope to contribute a little more, for education and for the dreams in my heart."

Qin Xueyi felt lost at times, but she persevered.

She hopes to contribute more to public welfare. Jiang Tian is right; she has so many resources and such a good education, she should make more contributions so as not to let herself down.
