Chapter 200: Chapter 200

"Yes, Sister Zheng, a month has passed since autumn, the days have become shorter, it gets light later and dark earlier."

Sister Zheng murmured, "It’s already autumn, no wonder."

Looking at the slightly lagging woman behind her, I didn’t know what she was thinking.

"Sister Zheng, where are we going?"

"Where to? I don’t know either, let’s just walk around for now, Ye Tian."

"Mmm."

"How long have you been with Pingrui?"

Why suddenly ask this? Ye Tian thought for a moment, embarrassedly smiled, "All told, at most just one night."

"One night?"

"Mmm, yes." Ye Tian told Zheng Xinru about his attendance at the charity banquet at Tianhe Hotel with Chen Pingrui.

He really didn’t lie, it was indeed only one night.

"Pfft," Zheng Xinru laughed, "I really admire myself, having only followed Pingrui for one night, I dared to place you in this gamble with unpredictable win or loss, I really am bold."

Mocking herself, she shook her head again and continued to ask, "So what do you think of Chen Pingrui? Does he have any flaws, or did he do anything inappropriate?"

"This... I can’t really say." Ye Tian looked in the rearview mirror at that woman’s reflection, shook his head, "Mr. Chen has taught me a lot, I can hardly learn it all, how could I see any flaws? Sister Zheng, you’re joking."

Zheng Xinru switched the arm she was leaning on, "Ye Tian, let me tell you, one’s success depends partly on personal effort and partly on the opportunities in life. Chen Pingrui was an opportunity in your life, although it was just for one night, it’s something others may not find in their lifetime."

"I understand, Sister Zheng, I will work hard."

"You don’t understand. Encountering opportunities isn’t hard; the hardest part is how to seize them. Among the most important things is to learn from those who are more powerful than you. They might be brave, persevering, tactful, or clean-living, but these aren’t essential or most important—you need to learn their flaws. Everyone has strengths, but flaws are more crucial, especially those in people who are seen as perfect."

"I admit, Chen Pingrui is considered successful by most, having reached heights that most can’t in their lifetime, but in the end, he failed miserably, not even leaving a corpse behind. Have you thought about why that happened?"

Ye Tian didn’t speak; that was someone’s husband, it wasn’t his place to comment.

"He was too ruthless in his actions, leaving no room for mercy, and extremely suspicious, trusting no one. To this day, there’s still a bug he installed on my phone, he thought I didn’t know, but I’ve known all along, just never told him. Because of these things, he made many enemies, but he didn’t care, that’s his almost paranoid side. When I first came here with him, my mother had told me about these aspects, saying Chen Pingrui was destined to be a villain rather than a hero. Unfortunately, even Cao Cao had sons and advisers to scheme for an empire he never achieved, but after Chen Pingrui died, there wasn’t even a single confidant left. He said this was retribution; I say, it was the karma he had created in a past life."

If there was liquor right now, Ye Tian believed Zheng Xinru would surely down three glasses.

"You are the person Pingrui had high hopes for; I trust his judgment, but he couldn’t give you much, nor could he truly provide for you. When he took you to the charity banquet, he wanted to give you fame, but that plan fell through. Today, I give this fame to you, and from now on, you have to walk your path on your own. Binhai Industrial is not an easy bone to chew, and the market in Tianhe is fiercely competitive—if poorly managed, it will definitely be swallowed up. Liu Family, Tan Family are our biggest competitors, Liu Family is fearsome, Tan Family even more so. Many people, including Zhen Yulin, Dong Cheng, Tang Kaitai, think that siding with the Liu Family guarantees security of their current possessions; they are too foolish, a monkey’s vision can never foresee as far as a human’s. If they cannot bear to cut off their own tail, they will never evolve into humans."

"Sister Zheng, I’ll remember what you said."

Zheng Xinru, without even glancing at Ye Tian in the rearview mirror, kept her eyes on the street lights flashing by outside, "I don’t want you to just remember, I want to tell you, don’t become the second Chen Pingrui, and don’t forget to cut off your own tail. Okay, take me to Tianhe Hotel, remember to come pick me up tomorrow." Zheng Xinru leaned back in the seat and pinched the bridge of her nose, looking very tired.

Ye Tian acknowledged, while also silently pondering the words Zheng Xinru had just spoken.

Lv Nan might be the most restless among the three daughters-in-law of the Chen family. She saw it—Chen family was about to collapse, possibly very soon. Without Liu Laogou, Liu Family has a more formidable Liu Ping; however, without Chen Pingrui, Chen family is completely gone, relying on three women to hold up the family was something Lv Nan did not expect, relying on Zheng Xinru alone, Lv Nan had no hope at all. Initially thinking to test Ye Tian’s intentions, but being flatly rejected by Zheng Xinru without leaving any room for negotiation. This old woman, wanting to die herself, shouldn’t drag me down too!

Due to the mother and daughter spending quite some time shopping, by the time Li Jing drove them home it was already nine at night, Lv Nan wanted to invite him for dinner, but without saying a word, he drove off, leaving the mother and daughter behind inhaling car exhaust. Lv Nan was furious, but her daughter, holding her hands in adoration, watched the BMW X5 speed away. You can’t blame Chen Yue for her behavior, Li Jing’s cool and handsome appearance indeed makes many girls go crazy.

Since it wasn’t far from Fengyu Inn, rather than staying with these two idiotic mother and daughter, it was better to go back to his sister. Checking his phone and finding no messages from Ye Tian, Li Jing drove back to Fengyu Inn comfortably. Although located in the city center, because it was nested inside an alley, it was quiet amidst the hustle, rarely any people passed by, let alone vehicles.

Li Jing parked the car in a nearby residential area, a parking space Ye Tian had specifically bought for him, when driving the car into the alley, the noise inevitably increased, which might disturb Li Ruoshui’s rest.
