Li Youwei was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Liangzi, don't have any psychological burden on this matter. You and Zhang Mei's matchmaker are Chu Heng. I knew this very early. I knew it as soon as you got married, but since you didn't say it, I don't want to mention it, because I don't think this will have any impact on your relationship with me.

Also, it was Chu Heng who made trouble for me when I went in. This matter was thought of from the moment I was ruled. I cannot blame Zhang Mei for this matter. I think she should have said it accidentally in front of Chu Heng. After all, she and you are a couple. No matter what, she has no reason to deliberately lead you into it because of this accident..."

After hearing what Li Youwei said, Qiao Liang felt even more guilty. The boss didn’t understand the inside story, and he couldn’t tell him the inside story now.

Li Youwei continued: "Also, you can't blame anyone for this. If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself. Flies don't bite seamless eggs. I have to reflect deeply on myself for the mistakes I made. Chu Heng can't tell anything wrong with this, and you don't have to blame yourself."

Qiao Liang stared at Li Youwei in a daze.

Li Youwei sighed: "So, I have been uneasy about myself implicating you. It is me who delayed your future."

"No, no, boss, you can't say that." Qiao Liang's voice trembled a little.

"No matter whether you say it or not, it is the truth. Don't say that your previous progress is the result of my cultivation. In fact, according to your ability, even if you don't have me, you will still make great progress even if you follow others. But because of me, you have suffered a severe setback..." Li Youwei looked ashamed.

"Boss, you..." Qiao Liang was a little excited and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Fang Xiaoya understood it at this time, and couldn't help but be moved by Qiao Liang and Li Youwei's feelings.

"Brother Li, Qiao Liang, let's go through the past. Let's look forward. Now Brother Li has started a new life and Qiao Liang has also resumed his regular studies. This is still very gratifying."

"Yes, look forward." Gu Shuyun nodded quickly.

Li Youwei laughed and raised his glass: "Liangzi, come on, continue drinking..."

After a while, Gu Shuyun went to the kitchen to put dumplings, and Fang Xiaoya went to help.

Li Youwei looked at Qiao Liang: "Liangzi, since you know that it was Chu Heng who did it, do you hate him?"

"Hate!" Qiao Liang nodded without hesitation.

"Is it just because of what he did?"

Qiao Liang shook his head.

"What's the reason?"

Qiao Liang hesitated for a moment: "I'm sorry, boss, I can't tell you for the time being."

Li Youwei looked at Qiao Liang silently and nodded: "Okay, since you don't want to say it now, I won't force it. But I want to remind you that no matter what reason you hate Chu Heng, don't show it in front of him. In the officialdom, if you want to survive and develop, you must learn to hide your true emotions and learn to deal with people around you with a mask..."

Qiao Liang listened carefully.

Li Youwei continued: "Although Chu Heng is the matchmaker in your marriage, and although you hate Chu Heng now, I still don't want you to affect your marriage because of this. I really want to see you and Zhang Mei live a harmonious life. You must not take your anger on Zhang Mei because of my affairs."

After hearing Li Youwei's words, Qiao Liang was moved by Li Youwei's tolerance and generosity, but he felt very aggrieved and forced nodded.

Li Youwei then sighed: "The officialdom is unfathomable, the struggle is unpredictable, and traps and traps are everywhere. Since you have embarked on this path, you must be cautious every step in the future and think twice before doing everything. Many times, you treat others with a kind heart, but others may not treat you with the same kindness, and may even use your kindness to kill you. Therefore, Liangzi, you must be more careful in the officialdom. You must not harm others, but you must also be careful about being cheated."

"Boss, do you mean I can only defend?"

"No, when facing an opponent's plot, you must attack when it's time to counterattack, but you must learn to use open conspiracy to deal with conspiracy. Using evil to control evil is equivalent to putting yourself at the same despicable level as your opponent, which is very undesirable."

Qiao Liang thought about Li Youwei's words. He had conspiracy against conspiracy and used evil to control evil. Now he teaches himself with his own personal experience and lessons.

After experiencing this disaster, Li Youwei seemed to be more mature and stable in his thinking and consciousness.

Although Li Youwei has left the officialdom, Qiao Liang subconsciously still regards him as his mentor.

It seems that everyone needs a mentor in their growth.

Although needed, not everyone can meet their wishful mentor.

Qiao Liang couldn't help but be glad for himself.

After dinner, after drinking tea and chatting for a while, Qiao Liang and Fang Xiaoya said goodbye.

After leaving Li Youwei's house, the wind was blowing outside, snowflakes were flying in the night sky, and a thin layer of snow on the ground.

The first snow of this winter is coming like this.

Fang Xiaoya's big troop stopped at the door and sent Qiao Liang home first.

On the way, Qiao Liang remained silent, savoring the conversation with Li Youwei tonight, feeling very sad.

Seeing that Qiao Liang didn't speak, Fang Xiaoya didn't bother and sat next to her silently.

Only then did Fang Xiaoya realize that Li Youwei's entry was related to Zhang Mei. Li Youwei's opponent in the officialdom was actually Qiao Liang and Zhang Mei's matchmaker. Qiao Liang had been hiding Li Youwei before, but Li Youwei had already known it but didn't say it out.

Before, Fang Xiaoya had intuition that Qiao Liang's marriage was unhappy, but now this intuition is becoming more and more obvious.

Fang Xiaoya also felt that Qiao Liang had a huge concern in his heart at this time, and he seemed unwilling to tell anyone about this concern, and this concern seemed to be related to his marriage.

I can detect it myself, but I wonder if Li Youwei will feel it.

Thinking about the past between herself and Qiao Liang and the unhappy marriage of Qiao Liang, Fang Xiaoya couldn't help feeling depressed and sighed slightly.

When they arrived at the entrance of Qiao Liang's community, Qiao Liang got out of the car, and Fang Xiaoya got out of the car. The two of them watched silently, and the flying snowflakes fell on them.

"Xiaoya, get in the car."

Fang Xiaoya nodded, but stood still without moving. On the snowy night, she looked at Qiao Liang with a clear gaze, and her eyes were filled with things that Qiao Liang could not understand for the moment.

"Xiaoya, what do you want to say?"

"I want to say... you are very tired." Fang Xiaoya whispered, with a little distress in her tone.

Qiao Liang's heart trembled. Yes, I am really tired recently, I am tired from work, life, body, and heart even more tired.

Qiao Liang looked up at the vast snowy night. The cold snowflakes fell on his face and quickly melted, and the fine water slowly flowed down.

After a long time, Qiao Liang said slowly: "Tirmness is a necessity in life. In this life, no matter whether it is good or not, it is destined."

Qiao Liang's words were filled with powerless helplessness and sadness. Fang Xiaoya felt distressed again after hearing this, and her eyes were wet.

"Qiao Liang, I don't want you to do this, you shouldn't do this." Fang Xiaoya said heartbrokenly.

Qiao Liang smiled sadly: "This is not something I want to do or not, but the arrangement of fate, which cannot be resisted and cannot be changed."

"No, you can resist, you can change. As long as you want, I can do anything for you." Fang Xiaoya said excitedly.

Qiao Liang was moved in his heart. Fang Xiaoya was really good to her. Over the years, her innocence and solemn desire for herself have never changed.

But Qiao Liang clearly realized the reality he faced. At this time, he could not let Fang Xiaoya do anything for him, nor could he mislead Fang Xiaoya.

"Xiaoya, thank you. I think I should solve my own business." Qiao Liang's tone was very firm.

Fang Xiaoya was a little confused at this time, not knowing what Qiao Liang said about his own affairs, and not knowing how he would solve them.

Looking at Fang Xiaoya's confused expression, Qiao Liang smiled and reached out to pat the snowflake on her shoulder: "It's too cold, get in the car and go back early to rest."
