Chapter 55 Aren’t You Getting Married?
Ning Yan almost forgot. He only remembered that he gave Cheng Zhengze a gun, and that he had been lurking beside Cheng Zhengze for half a year and had a good relationship with him.
In fact, the shot was not very serious. Among the injuries Ning Yan had suffered over the years, it was considered a minor injury.
It was really embarrassing when I dragged my injured body back to the base.
In order to protect Cheng Zhengze, he did not hesitate to go against the boss behind 735 and even wanted to pay money to redeem Cheng Zhengze's life, but unfortunately he was poor at that time.
The Cheng family was in the midst of a power struggle, and several uncles and elders of the Cheng family offered hundreds of millions of dollars for Cheng Zhengze's life. Ning Yan couldn't even afford the bidding price even if he sold himself.
As a killer, the best way he could think of was to kill 735 and then protect them.
Ten years ago, Cheng Zhengze was 20 years old and he was 19 years old.
One managed to survive and fight back against dozens of uncles and aunts, while the other escaped unscathed from the combined attack of hundreds of his peers.
Ning Yan witnessed Cheng Zhengze's ability and courage that night, but Cheng Zhengze still doesn't know how many killers Ning Yan sniped for him while lying on the hidden rooftop during the Cheng family murder that night.
It turns out that the Cheng family is just like the Tan family. They have a lot of children and they fight for power and profit, fighting to the death.
At that time, Cheng Zhengze told Ning Yan that he didn't want his brothers to kill each other in the future, and he would never be like his grandfather and father, and he would only have one wife in his life.
The 20-year-old Cheng Zhengze is an equally kind person as Yu Chengbai. He is so kind that Ning Yan finds him ridiculous and naive, but he still helps him deal with all his competitors - his younger brothers - in his own way.
Then, on the night he came to power, Ning Yan was killed by the gun he had given him.
"Actually, I think it was a misunderstanding." Ning Yan said seriously after recalling all the details.
Corey didn't say anything. His face was filled with an extremely vicious expression, and the word "speechless" was written all over it.
Ning Yan stopped talking, but he was too lazy to say anything.
After all, it was normal for them to misunderstand me when I crawled back to the base covered in blood.
But Ning Yan really couldn't understand why they had to bring this up in the realm of love?
When he approached Cheng Zhengze, he did pretend to be a woman, but that doesn't mean he is a woman. Even if he is really a woman, does it mean that he loves a man when he risks his life to save him?
Can't it just be pure appreciation?
Can't we just appreciate each other?
Why do we have to view the relationship between two people as so flimsy, and love as so simple, casual and cheap?
Ning Yan's mind was full of complaints, but at the moment he was about to say them, all he could say was condensed into one simple and helpless sentence: "I really don't like him."
Corey's face was expressionless. "We were through thick and thin together. Later, I took advantage of your performance and became your leader, and you started to hate me. Ning Yan, you have never been one to repay evil with kindness. On the contrary, you are very petty. If you didn't like me, why didn't you seek revenge in the past ten years?"
“…” There’s no need, there’s really no need, and no one did it on purpose.
"Will you go against hundreds of top assassins for me and Moros?"
“…”
"Would you want to sell everything you own, use up all your savings, and buy the life of either of us?"
This time, Ning Yan was not given time to answer. Perhaps because he saw that he would not answer, or that he could not answer, he continued, "You won't. When you heard about Moros's death, your first reaction was to get your money back. You never care about the lives of those around you, including Lan Ze who treated you as a family member."
"You devoted yourself to training Lan Ze, simply wanting him to take your place so you could pursue the freedom you'd always dreamed of. You instilled in him so many ideas about how to become an excellent assassin, but in reality, you didn't even acknowledge these ideas yourself. You valued your own freedom above all else."
"Ning Yan, for someone as cold and selfish as you, the little bit of love you give is actually much more powerful than you think."
"...Corey, I swear, I can swear to you." Ning Yan put three fingers together and said seriously, "If I really like him, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
"Look, if I told you today that you like Mr. Yu, you would probably smile and nod, saying yes, that you like him very much. You've always been like this. The less you care about something, the more you seem to be nonchalant and indifferent to everything."
“…”
Ning Yan turned his head hard to look at Yu Chengbai. Yu Chengbai was still drinking tea, as if he couldn't hear what they were saying, as if he had automatically blocked out all sounds.
He was flipping through a book that he had brought back at some unknown time.
This man always likes to maintain a safe, polite, and comfortable distance from others. He is elegant, upright, humble, and courteous. No matter how shocking the world view is, no one can extract a single word of criticism from his mouth.
Ning Yan used to admire his ability to know when to advance and when to retreat, but now he just wanted to ask him if he was deaf and didn't hear them arguing?
Please help!
Why are you pretending to be dead?!
"Do you think you know me well?" Ning Yan finally chose to lash out back, sneering, "I'm selfish? I'm cold and indifferent? Who threw me to the Northern Continent to eat ice chips for several years? I haven't come to you to settle the score yet? And Lan Ze, if I die and you break a few of Lan Ze's ribs, you have the nerve to say I don't care about him?"
Not caring that he was a ghost standing in front of me and apologizing frantically saying he was wrong?
"I'll say this one last time. I don't like Cheng Zhengze at all! And I didn't seek revenge because I felt it was unnecessary. I volunteered to help him on the spot, and I didn't ask him to be grateful to me!"
"Then why did you tell him that you wanted to have a family with him?"
“…”
Is it okay to have a brain seizure?
It was because the atmosphere was so good that he couldn't help but say it. It wasn't the first time he said such words.
He suddenly wanted to give a home to all the men and women in the world, so what?
Is it illegal?
Corey stared at him, his eyes brimming with sour anger. "Is it because 735 can no longer accommodate you? Do you need to settle down outside?"
"I can't make sense to you."
Ning Yan leaned back and closed his eyes. He was completely convinced and didn't even want the money anymore.
Cheng Zhengze was probably his nemesis. He had a son out of nowhere and kept saying it was his. He pretended to be Yiwei. Yu Chengbai thought he had a relationship with Cheng Zhengze. When he turned back into Ning Yan, Ke Lei thought he liked Cheng Zhengze and even thought he was still in a one-sided love relationship...
I'm going to die.
They really should take some further study on love and learn what true love is!
The debt collection ended here. Not only did I not get the money back, but I also got humiliated.
After walking out of the gate of the Cole family's house, Ning Yan just kept striding forward, and suddenly stopped halfway.
Looking at Yu Chengbai who was slowly following behind him, he frowned and said unhappily, "Why did you come out?"
"go home."
"Have you finished talking to Corey?"
"Yeah." Yu Chengbai stopped opposite him, still maintaining a safe and polite manner that was in line with his personality, making both of them feel a comfortable distance away.
He held a business card between his snow-white fingers and handed it over, saying gently, "Ayan, if you need money, you can come to me."
Ning Yan looked at the business card, then looked up at him, and a wonderful warmth surged in his chest.
This wasn't the first time Yu Chengbai had given him money. He had given it to him many times before, but it was either through Yu Li, or to his poor 'driver', unlucky 'assistant', or down-and-out 'savior'...
This is the first time for him, for Ning Yan.
"We are not familiar with each other." Ning Yan stared at the business card.
"It's okay. You can think of it as your future self, prepaying our friendship in advance."
"...It sounds like I'll be using you as an ATM in the future."
"Not many people can treat me like an ATM machine." Yu Chengbai was always magnanimous and never got angry at his harsh words. He chuckled and said, "You might be one of them."
Ning Yan, a heartless person, couldn't bear to fool his kindness, so he said truthfully: "Actually, I'm not short of money."
Yu Chengbai said, "The expenses of getting married are not small. You will need them in the future."
Ning Yan was stunned: "What?"
"Aren't you going to get married?"
“…With whom?”
"Isn't it Cheng Zhengze?"
Ning Yan slammed the business card out of his hand and walked away without looking back.
