Chapter 165: Steps

"No way. On the other side of the phone, the old man replied decisively, but the voice came to Ma's gentle ears more hurtful than anything else.

Her expression was calm, but she was like a child who had been robbed of a toy, and her eyes were a little helpless, but also a little powerless, because this defenseless child knew that he had no ability to take everything back.

"Give you ten percent of the shares, no more is negotiable, after you settle everything, I will send someone over to assist you in running this Emperor Nine Mansion." When it comes to interests, this old man, who has always been senile, is like a hungry skinny tiger, and he will not back down at all.

"Old man, I still don't talk about any human feelings. Ma gently just muttered.

"Ma Wenrou I want you to remember one thing, everything you have now is given to you by the Cao family, so you don't have the capital to negotiate conditions with me, maybe this time your expression is perfect, but the Cao family is fully qualified to cultivate the next Ma Wenrou again. The old man said, whether this is a threat or not, only the listener has a real personal experience.

"I'll call you when I'm settled. Ma said this with a lonely face, and then hung up the phone.

Xue Monkey, who was quietly listening to the call, also had an extremely bitter expression, and there was a little bit of anger in the deepest part of his eyes, he just felt that it was not worth it for Ma Gentle, she obviously paid so much for such a storm, and even everything for herself, what did she get in exchange for in the end? or cruelty, a cold wall.

Xue Monkey was a little crazy in his heart, but all these madness came from powerlessness, he looked at Ma Gentle again, and found that Ma Gentle's expression at this moment had regained calm, it seemed that she had already been used to these things, as if she was born noble and low, in this world, the pay and the return will never be proportional, never.

"Is it because I feel unwilling?" said Ma Wenrou as he looked at Xue Monkey with a tangled face.

Xue Monkey didn't hide it, nodded directly and said: "Very unwilling, obviously the Cao family has not done anything, and they still have to take Dacheng, what is the point of our desperate work in Xicheng these days?"

Ma gently listened to Xue Monkey's voice full of resentment, but laughed at herself: "Xue Monkey, how can you say that you have been tumbling and climbing in such a river and lake for so many years, isn't this a river and lake from beginning to end?"

Xue Monkey clenched his fists, still unable to let go, he took a deep breath and said: "I know, but I just can't turn a blind eye to all this, how much have you paid for the Cao family over the years, doesn't that old man see it?"

Ma listened gently, it seemed that the Xue monkey at this moment was the epitome of her heart, she leaned on the saddle, her body was a little weak, perhaps because she was hungry, she spit out such a sentence: "But what choice is there? Just like people like Bai Wenshan, I also have shackles that I can't break free." ”

Xue Monkey listened and was about to say something, but Ma Wenrou preemptively said: "Back to *fish, the more serious some things are, the more tired they are, because you will find that there are too few things you can change, so all we can do is to change ourselves and adapt to powerless." ”

Hearing Ma Wenwen's words, Xue Monkey seemed to be relieved, he turned his head and started the car, and drove towards *Yu, but he had already scolded the so-called Cao family thousands of times in his heart, he just didn't know how Ma Wenrou digested such a heavy grievance.

She twisted her fingers, still so calm, digesting the cruelty of the rivers and lakes in the most accustomed way, but these gloom accumulated into a torrent, and even the most rational person would fall into madness.

"Xue Monkey, is it that my ambition is not big enough?" Ma Wenrou asked suddenly, seemingly asking Xue Monkey, but more like asking himself.

When Xue Monkey heard such a question, he was stunned at first, he looked at the horse's gentle expression through the rearview mirror, as if he suddenly understood something, the resentment in his heart disappeared at once, and then it became a deep taboo, and he said suspiciously: "Don't you want to?"

"It's crazy, isn't it?" Ma said gently, directly, seemingly acquiescing to Xue Monkey's opinion.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Xue Monkey's forehead, and his face showed deep fear, as if he had seen a ghost gate, and his voice trembled a little and said: "It's not just crazy, it's crazy to the extreme, it's beyond my cognition." ”

"If you don't go crazy, you can't live, someone once said that if you go crazy before doing something, you are equal to half the success first. Ma smiled softly but very easily, as if it was a funny thing to look at Xue Monkey's frightened appearance.

"Then that person must be dead. Xue Monkey replied without thinking.

"Maybe I can follow such a step and bring the stage of Xicheng to a new height. She seemed to have adapted to the terrible ambition in her heart, and her face showed an expression like Liu Kun and a poisonous snake, which was a kind of hideousness that evolved from resentment to ambition.

Xue Monkey's head shook like a rattle, and he thought in his heart that this was just madness within madness, and there was nothing to rely on.

"Xue Monkey, can't you be a little gentleman?" The Xue Monkey, who was gentle and conflicting, shrank back, as if he was teasing Xue Monkey intentionally or unintentionally.

"I said aunt, don't tease me, it's not me who coaxes, it's ambition that has to have a limit, play tricks on the Cao family, and estimate that our end will be very fresh and refined, this is not a level. Xue Monkey couldn't bear it anymore, and directly said what he thought in his heart.

Ma Wenrou saw that Xue Monkey was talking directly, and said unabashedly: "Don't believe me?"

At this moment, Xue Monkey saw a serious expression on Ma Gentle's face, which was also the expression he didn't want to see, although Ma Gentle was infinitely close to an invincible existence in his heart, but this did not mean that it could be completely contrary to common sense, how terrifying a first-class family in the capital was, Xue Monkey was a little creepy just thinking about it.

Just when Xue Monkey was about to open his mouth to persuade, the mobile phone rang again, Ma Wenrou took out the mobile phone and looked at the caller number, her expression slowly became playful, she answered the phone and did not hurry to speak, the other side was as she imagined, and came up and asked aggressively: "Ma Wenrou, explain to me, what happened?"

Listening to Li Banruo's discordant tone as always, she didn't know why she felt a little kind, maybe she just thought that it was true.

"Are you a wanderer?" replied the horse gently and easily.

"I'm here. Li Banruo said angrily, if it weren't for Ah Bin, he wouldn't have made such a phone call with Ma Wenwen.

"I'll be there in half an hour to get something to eat, and I'll tell you everything. Ma said gently, and hung up the phone directly without waiting for Li Banruo, who was like a machine gun on the other side, to speak again.

Xue Monkey listened, and the worry on his face became even stronger.

"Go to the wanderers. Ma gently put down the phone and said.

"To deal with such a guy? He's a*. Xue Monkey said this, but he had already silently driven in that direction.

"This will be the first step, won't it?" Ma said gently, maybe it was a phone call that changed her mind and made her want to break her plan, the so-called burned child still loves fire, she once hated such a river and lake once, and she didn't care to do it again, although people who toss and turn and make mistakes are always reminiscent of fools.

But this fool may simply think that this time there is a change.

Xue Monkey listened, as if he suddenly realized, from Li Banruo to Abin, from Abin to the guy whose force is against the sky, and then the three-character sword and the three Dingtian families in the capital, if all this is connected in series, what will it be?

"Crazy, this time it's completely crazy. Xue Monkey couldn't control his emotions and said, he didn't dare to imagine that in just such a moment, Ma gently connected such a terrifying thing.

"I only blame myself for not being completely crazy, and for me now, all rationality is superfluous. Ma said gently, the utter madness in the eyes of the Xue monkey was a smile in her eyes, and the child who had lost his favorite toy caught faith again.

Regardless of whether this faith will lead the child to destruction, she is happy in the process of grasping it.

"Have you really decided? don't think about it?" Xue Monkey looked at the woman who had made up her mind, knowing that no matter how much she dissuaded, she couldn't change her heart, so she finally asked as if she was tied up.

Ma nodded gently, and replied very neatly, maybe it was just that she simply didn't want to think about it, she opened the window, her short hair was messy with the wind outside the car, and she couldn't light a cigarette.

She suddenly wanted to grow her hair long, as if she suddenly wanted to change.

"Wei Jiu, I'm destined to reach the heights you covet that you haven't reached in your life, so you can watch from the ground. As she spoke, the words blew into the wind and drifted away in this river and lake, this era.

In those years, she asked the man what was the same in all the stories of this Jianghu.

His answer was that all the stories had in common was that they were over.

She didn't deny it, so she was extremely sure at this moment, the moment his story just ended, her story had just begun, and she wanted to write a story that could never be found in this world, no matter what the price it took.

Thirteen years after she had lost her faith, on this day, thanks to a phone call, some serendipity, she found the lost thing again.
