Chen Zhe has truly abandoned everything.
He transferred all the shares that Hu Ling was unaware of to Zhang Kai and Wang De, his two best brothers.
He even left all the savings in his bank account to Mo Xiaohao.
Mo Xiaohao's hands were trembling when he received the bank card.
"Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen..."
His lips trembled.
Chen Zhe smiled and patted his shoulder; "I'm not President Chen anymore, just call me Chen Zhe. Xiao Hao, you once saved my life, this is my way of repaying you. You don't need to feel guilty, just accept my gratitude."
Mo Xiaohao's expression was somewhat conflicted.
"But you've given me too much. I'm really a little panicked. You know I can't save money. I don't dare take so much money from you. You should take it back."
Chen Zhe pushed the card into his hand again.
“You not only saved me, but you also saved my sister. My brother and I are still alive because of you. You deserve it.”
"But……"
"Oh, no 'but'!"
Cai Jing took the card and put it in his pocket.
He looked at Chen Zhe with a smile; "Since President Chen... oh, no, since Brother Chen Zhe wants to thank you, then you should accept his thanks properly."
"Master, isn't this a bit unfair...? You once said..."
"Tsk! Kid, don't interrupt. Your master has made the decision for you!"
Seeing Cai Jing's greedy appearance, Chen Zhe chuckled.
"Master Cai, Xiao Hao, I'm leaving!"
He waved and turned to leave Cai Jing's dilapidated little house.
Mo Xiaohao rushed out.
"Hey! Where are you going?"
Chen Zhe stood still without turning around.
"I don't know, I'll just go wherever I feel like. I'm off!"
He waved goodbye and left gracefully.
...
He arrived at the beach and looked at the countless missed calls and text messages on his phone.
Most of them were sent by women who had contact with him.
He sat by the rock and replied to each message one by one. When he finished replying to the last one, he threw his phone into the sea without any hesitation.
As the sun sets, its orange-red rays spread across the shimmering sea. Waves crash against the rocks, splashing water droplets onto his face, but he remains oblivious. Watching the seagulls return to their nests, he feels a faint sense of homesickness.
The afterglow of the setting sun cast his shadow on the beach, making it exceptionally long and thin. A woman's foot quietly stepped at the end of his shadow and walked over.
"I never expected, I never expected you would actually abandon everything."
Chen Zhe was stunned when he heard the voice. He recognized the voice as belonging to his sister, Ye Lihong.
He turned around, and sure enough, Ye Lihong was standing there watching him, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit.
"Master Xie told me that you have the destiny of a Qilin, with noble people helping you and constant romantic encounters, so he doesn't want to hand his granddaughter over to you."
Chen Zhe gave a bitter laugh; "I have nothing now. I have no money, no power, I'm just an ordinary person, and my romantic prospects have probably ended too, right?"
Night Red shrugged.
"Actually, I really dislike you because Xiaoyu is my very good friend. Your actions disgust me. Although we are related by blood, I have never acknowledged you as my brother. However... what you're doing now really surprises me. I want to ask you a question: are you really doing this willingly?"
"Willingly..."
Chen Zhe took a deep breath and then looked up at the distant sky.
“I’ve told myself countless times that I promised Xiaoyu I would keep myself pure, but I overestimated my own nature, so I lost her. I’ve also thought ruthlessly that it was just a relationship, and I’ll definitely meet another woman who makes my heart flutter in the future. I should give up this relationship that’s hindering my career, put Xiaoyu out of my mind, and stop thinking about her. I’ve struggled with this, but when I imagined that Xie Yuhan wouldn’t exist in my future life, I panicked. I felt that the sweetness of happiness in the future would be like chewing wax, without any taste at all.”
Ye Lihong sighed.
Why do people only remember the good things in life when they lose them? Why not cherish them when they're there, and then act like you're dying when you lose them?
"Yes, why bother?"
Chen Zhe repeated this sentence, and then looked at the distant sea again.
Several minutes passed before Chen Zhe spoke again.
"Sister, I need your help with something."
Hong frowned slightly at night. Chen Zhe's "sister" sounded a bit abrupt, but she didn't correct him immediately.
"Please take care of my parents for me. I want to go for a walk."
Ye Hong hesitated for a moment.
"Where are you going? When will you be back?"
"I don't know, I'm not sure. Maybe in a couple of days, maybe in two years..."
Hong fell silent at night.
Just when Chen Zhe thought she wouldn't agree, she nodded.
"good!"
Chen Zhe felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.
He looked at Ye Lihong gratefully; "Sister, thank you."
Ye Hong coughed once; "I'm still not used to this way of addressing you."
Chen Zhe smiled slightly; "I hope you'll get used to it!"
He stood up from the rocks, jumped over the sea, and stepped onto the sand.
"I'm leaving. Could you please help me think of a better reason to deal with them if they ask?"
"How many requests did you make? I'm not sure I can grant them all."
"Just these two."
"So what is my reward?"
Ye Lihong asked.
"Huh? Compensation?"
"Yes, you know my profession. I won't do anything without pay."
Chen Zhe stroked his chin and thought for a moment.
"If you want money, I really don't have any right now, and I probably won't have much in the future either. How about this, I'll give you that room in my house, okay? My room is yours now? Oh... I shouldn't say that, I should say that it originally belonged to you."
It always belonged to you.
Ye Lihong was suddenly startled when she heard those words.
She stood there stunned, and for some reason, her nose started to sting.
"Sister, take good care of Mom and Dad, I'm leaving!"
Just as he had said goodbye to Wang De and Zhang Kai, Chen Zhe waved goodbye and left again.
He walked to the side of the road, raised his right thumb, and casually got into a passing car.
The driver was a man wearing sunglasses, with a curly hairstyle and constantly chewing gum.
"Where are you going!"
Two very simple words.
"Could you take me to your destination and then drop me off?"
Chen Zhe's words made the man suddenly lower his eyes slightly.
He sized up Chen Zhe with his eyes.
He slowed his chewing pace; "Hey bro, do you know where I'm going? Are you coming with me?"
"Where does the eldest brother want to go?"
"hehe……"
The man turned around to look at the back seat, and gestured with his mouth; "See that guitar?"
Chen Zhe turned around, glanced at it, and then nodded.
"I'm a wandering singer, I have no destination, I go wherever I want."
Chen Zhe laughed heartily; "That suits me just fine, I don't have a destination in mind either."
The man burst into laughter.
"Okay, you can come with me, but there's one thing you have to do for me."
Chen Zhe stroked his chin, his eyes filled with hesitation.
"Bro, I'm very straight, a straight man as straight as steel."
The guy with the ramen-noodle hair spat his chewing gum at Chen Zhe; "Go to hell! What I meant was you're supposed to help me collect the money, see that broken bowl over there? That's your job!"
