Chapter 732 What's the Difference
Jiang Shuo concentrated on helping Mu Xiaoji treat the wound. His movements were skillful and meticulous, and every step showed his care.
After handling it properly, he lowered his head slightly, with a trace of guilt on his face, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Dad, I really didn't want to gamble with Jia Sidao.
"It's just that the situation was so special at the time that I was helpless. Plus, Jia Sidao's words were so sarcastic and ignorant, so I just gave him a small punishment."
Mu Xiaoji frowned slightly, his eyes full of concern. He knew that Jiang Shuo was a sensible child and would not do anything inappropriate for no reason.
He asked in a gentle tone: "What's going on? Seeing how angry Daddy was at that time,
This shouldn't be a small problem, right? You know, in all these years, I've never seen him lose his temper like this!"
Jiang Shuo took a deep breath and began to tell Mu Xiaoji what had happened in an orderly manner.
He saw from the theater how Yu Fei rushed out in a panic to protect An Yu, and how An Yu was forcibly dragged out by Teng Zijing.
It starts with a series of fierce conflicts and describes the tense atmosphere at that time in detail, without missing any details.
Then, he vividly recounted the scene that took place in Jia Sidao's billiard room, explaining the whole cause and effect of the incident in detail, as if unfolding a vivid picture in front of Mu Xiaoji.
After listening to this, Mu Xiaoji fell into a brief contemplation, and then slowly analyzed: "If you think about it carefully, these things themselves are actually not particularly serious.
Teng Zijing chose to let you deal with Jia Sidao. From his point of view, he didn't actually want to embarrass Jia Sidao.
After all, in the Kuncheng circle, everyone will meet each other every day because they are people who are working hard for the prosperity and innovation of Kuncheng.
Of course, it also cannot explain that Teng Zijing is a controlling man who likes to have the situation under his control in order to feel safe.
But based on my current analysis, he actually gave Jia Sidao enough face by doing this."
Jiang Shuo looked puzzled, his eyes full of confusion, and couldn't help asking: "Dad, that's five million!
With such a large sum of money, how could you possibly think that Teng Zijing was giving Jia Sidao enough face?"
Jiang Shuo felt that even if Teng Zijing was rich, he wouldn't just give it to Jia Sidao casually!
Mu Xiaoji smiled patiently and began to explain in detail: "Look, first of all, Teng Zijing has only met you twice, and he doesn't know your strength.
In this situation, choosing you to play with Jia Sidao itself involves a certain degree of uncertainty.
He probably thinks that you are just a child who has not experienced much of the world. Even if he loses, Jia Sidao won in an ignominious way, which makes him open-minded and gentlemanly.
It also allowed Jia Sidao to redeem himself after losing to Teng Zijing on the track, and to appease his vanity. This was a perfect opportunity for Jia Sidao to redeem himself.
"Secondly, from another perspective, Jia Sidao must have suffered a lot at the hands of Teng Zijing on the track.
He had lost many times and was holding his breath, waiting for Teng Zijing in the billiard room.
This time when he went to Jia Sidao's own billiard room, he couldn't help but think of taking advantage of the situation and crushing Teng Zijing's morale, so that Teng Zijing could also taste the feeling of being humiliated.
However, Teng Zijing was quite smart. He took out 5 million and chose a little kid who seemed harmless to fight him.
This lack of verbal aggression hides the ruthless and cold-faced image he has accumulated over the years in the business world, and is also a means of self-protection.
Choosing you to deal with Jia Sidao is a clever way of showing that he is giving Jia Sidao a chance to step down. At the same time, this also shows Teng Zijing's magnanimity in dealing with people.
He wanted to use this method to solve the problem while maintaining the relationship between them. I have to say, Teng Zijing is a wise business talent! "
"Over the years, Teng Zijing has held a high position and held extensive connections in Kuncheng. He is well aware of the importance of balancing relationships between all parties. Kuncheng's business community is complex and intertwined with various forces.
He didn't want the conflict with Jia Sidao to trigger a series of unnecessary chain reactions that would affect the stability of the entire business ecosystem.
Therefore, he chose to handle the situation in this relatively mild way, giving Jia Sidao a way out and demonstrating his wisdom and magnanimity to other forces.
“I didn’t expect that you, a hidden little fellow, not only didn’t lose, but also won so beautifully.
This has greatly deepened Teng Zijing's interest in you. He must have asked someone to investigate our family's background.
He is eager to learn about your upbringing and education environment. On the one hand, he is curious about the strength of Zidong International Company.
On the other hand, he was also worried about whether there was an unknown force hidden behind the Song Group that might affect his power in Kuncheng.
Jiang Shuo shrugged nonchalantly and said in a relaxed tone, "Let him investigate, he'll find nothing in the end.
However, judging from the details, Teng Zijing himself is not as bad as he appears to be."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shuo's stomach suddenly rumbled, breaking the tranquility at the moment.
When Mu Xiaoji heard this, he felt guilty and turned around quickly, saying apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Jiang Shuo, you can't even have a delicious meal with dad.
I wonder if there are any leftover ingredients at home when grandma was here. I'll go downstairs and see if there's anything edible in the kitchen and prepare breakfast for you."
Jiang Shuo quickly shook his head and comforted him, "Dad, there's nothing to feel guilty about. This is all my own choice. I promised Little Daddy to take good care of you, but in the end, I didn't do it perfectly!"
After hearing Jiang Shuo's words, Mu Xiaoji felt mixed emotions and said with emotion, "Jiang Shuo, these words shouldn't have come out of your mouth.
Giving birth to you and raising you is my duty and responsibility as a father. But now, everything seems to be turned upside down, which makes me feel ashamed.
After saying that, he couldn't help but stretch out his arms and hug Jiang Shuo tightly, as if he wanted to pass all his guilt and love to his son through this hug.
Then, he kissed Jiang Shuo's little head gently and said softly, "Wait a moment, Dad will go to the kitchen to check. If there are no ingredients, we can order takeout."
Jiang Shuo nodded sensibly, stood up, picked up Mu Xiaoji's prosthesis from the bedside, handed it to his father, turned around and walked briskly towards the bathroom to prepare for a shower.
Mu Xiaoji carefully put on his prosthesis, stood up and slowly walked towards the bedroom door.
Those steps, as if carrying a thousand-pound weight, carried a bit of heaviness and fatigue as they slowly descended the stairs towards the kitchen.
In a trance, he seemed to see the figure of a little monster busy in the kitchen. The whole person seemed to be under a spell, standing blankly at the stairs.
His eyes were fixed on the illusory figure, with mixed feelings in his eyes, and various emotions intertwined and surging.
At this moment, his heart seemed to be entangled by countless threads, tangled endlessly. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart:
"Little Monster, it's been three days. How have you been at Gu Ze's house? Is your lumbar spine feeling any better?
When you were with him, your smile was as bright as the sun. Unlike when you were with me, you were always on edge, carefully considering everyone's emotions.
Little Monster, what choice should I make? Should I let go, give you freedom, and let you pursue your own destiny?
Or will I selfishly tie you to my side again to satisfy my own selfish desire for love?"
He was struggling painfully in his heart, and every thought was like a sharp needle, piercing his soul.
At the same time, in Gu Ze’s warm and exquisitely decorated home, Gu Ze’s face was filled with a happy smile, as brilliant and bright as a flower blooming in spring.
He carefully placed the breakfast on the table one by one, his movements gentle and meticulous, as if every piece of food carried his full heart.
After arranging all kinds of breakfast, he also carefully brought out the lean meat porridge that he had prepared for Jiang Chengyu early in the morning.
The porridge exuded a rich aroma, as if it embodied his meticulous care for Jiang Chengyu.
Because his hands were burned from serving the porridge, he quickly put down the bowl and rubbed his ears.
Trying to ease the burning sensation on his hands, he said happily, "Feng Tao, wait a moment. I'll call Cheng Yu downstairs and we'll have dinner together."
Feng Tao sat aside with a look of disdain on his face. He curled his lips and said, "Go ahead. I promise to leave him a bowl of loving breakfast so that he can taste your full heart."
Gu Ze didn't care what Feng Tao said. He took brisk steps and quickly came to the door of Jiang Chengyu's bedroom like a happy little deer.
He straightened his clothes slightly, then politely knocked on the door. The knock was crisp and rhythmic, as if expressing his inner expectations.
At this time, Jiang Chengyu was sitting quietly on a chair on the balcony, staring blankly in the direction of the sunny weather, his eyes empty and confused.
The image of Mu Xiaoji tightly protecting Jiang Shuo and being whipped on the back with a branch by him, leaving crisscross blood marks, emerged uncontrollably in his mind. That scene kept playing in his mind like a movie.
His eyes were filled with heartache, and his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was trapped in endless self-blame and pain.
Hearing the knock on the door, Jiang Chengyu slowly came back to his senses, as if waking up from a painful dream.
He shook his head gently, trying to dispel the image in his mind, then stood up and walked towards the door with slightly heavy steps.
When he opened the door and saw that it was Gu Ze, he couldn't help but ask, "Gu Ze, what's going on?"
Gu Ze saw that Jiang Chengyu's face was as pale as paper, without any blood, and his eyes revealed deep fatigue and haggardness, and his heart was full of concern.
He frowned slightly and said in a worried tone: "Cheng Yu, are you not used to living here?
You look so haggard, even worse than when you were in the hospital."
Jiang Chengyu shook his head slightly and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "It's great here, don't think too much.
Oh, by the way, I haven’t been to the company for three days. There are a lot of things piled up that need me to deal with. I have to go to the company soon.
You don't have to worry about making so many supplements for me today! You are usually so busy, and I feel really bad for distracting you because of me. "
Gu Ze looked carefree, stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Chengyu's arm, and while pulling him downstairs, he said:
"Cheng Yu, what are you talking about? You're being so distant with me. Let's go have breakfast first.
Try the recipe my mom taught me and see how it compares to the lean pork porridge you make yourself."
Jiang Chengyu was pulled down the stairs by Gu Ze. This familiar feeling seemed to take him back to a few years ago.
At that time, Gu Ze was suffering from severe depression and was saved by Jiang Chengyu when he jumped off the building to commit suicide. From then on, he became dependent on Jiang Chengyu, sticking to him all day long, chatting and laughing with him.
This caused Mu Xiaoji to be jealous during his time at Renxin Hospital. The scene at that time was strangely similar to the present.
Those past memories flooded into his mind like a tide, causing complex ripples in his heart.
