Li Zhi saw that Wang Hai suddenly asked if his father still hated Ye Ming, his face showed a look of embarrassment, and he hesitated for a while before saying, "Uncle Wang, I don't want to hide it from you: my father still hates Ye Ming to the core. He always believed: Ye Ming seduced my original wife Chen Yi and gave birth to a child without me and Chen Yi divorcing, which is a great shame for our Li family. Ten days ago, when I went to visit him in prison, he scolded me bitterly, saying that 'the hatred of killing my father and taking my wife' is not shared, and asked me why I didn't go to Ye Ming for revenge?

He also believes that the Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant's use of false information to reduce or reduce income tax was tacitly approved by the Xinleng County Party Committee and County Government at that time, and the local taxation bureau also knew that the information was false when it approved the tax reduction, but in order to support the development of Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant and solve the employment problem of the laid-off workers of the old steel plant, the government and the local taxation system recognized the information. Later, Ye Ming used this to accuse us of tax evasion, purely to send us to prison, and his intentions were very vicious and sinister. So he will never forgive Ye Ming! ”

Wang Hai frowned, glanced up at Li Zhi, and asked, "What about you?" Do you still hate Ye Ming? ”

Li Zhi avoided Wang Hai's sharp gaze a little flustered, tilted his head and thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Wang, to tell you the truth, I still have a little hatred for Ye Ming now, but I don't hate it as hard as my father. Moreover, my hatred is not entirely because he took my wife, but because he sent our father and son to prison and made me suffer a lot in prison. However, I have also figured it out in the past two years: there is an old saying that 'the people do not fight with the officials', although our Li family is a little powerful in Xinleng, Ye Ming has a very deep officialdom background and a very tough backstage and backer. My father's choice to fight him in the first place, and to fight to the end, was a strategic mistake and unwise. Especially now that I see that you have forgiven Ye Ming and become a New Year's friend with him, I feel even more that there is no need to fight Ye Ming to the end! ”

Wang Hai was surprised when he heard Li Zhi say "My hatred is not entirely because Ye Ming took away my wife", and couldn't help but ask: "You just said that your hatred for Ye Ming is not entirely because of his ambiguous relationship with your wife, how can you say this?" As far as I know, your father decided to fight Ye Ming to the end because he couldn't stand this shameful humiliation, why are you so indifferent to this matter? ”

Li Zhi smiled bitterly, and said a little ashamedly: "Uncle Wang, you are my father's best friend, and you know me well, so I can tell you what is in my heart: In my conscience, I am mainly responsible for the marital conflict between me and Chen Yi." She was not a woman, on the contrary, she was very virtuous, very kind, and very tolerant of me. My biggest problem is that I like the new and hate the old with women. When I first pursued Chen Yi, I felt that she was the most beautiful, temperamental, and perfect woman in the world. However, after marrying her home, less than a year later, I became tired of her, and sometimes I didn't come home for ten days and half a month, and I didn't even want to touch her body for months. But for those women I just met, even if they are much uglier than Chen Yi, I-"

As soon as he said this, Wang Hai, who had already had a look of disgust, interrupted him with a snort: "Shut up! I don't want to hear about your affairs, pick and choose! ”

Li Zhi coughed awkwardly and said in a snort, "Uncle Wang, I'm explaining to you the reason why I don't blame Chen Yi." Frankly speaking, before Chen Yi and Ye Ming had an ambiguous relationship, my marriage with her was already in name only. Putting aside the moral aspect, from the legal point of view, I actually treated Chen Yi as a kind of domestic cold violence: because I often did not return home, and I did not have sex with her for at least half a year, and I did not even call her for ten days and half a month. To put it mildly, in the last two or three years of our marriage, Chen Yi was actually a widow.

"I'm a bastard, but I'm not a person without conscience and reason. Sometimes I ask myself and feel that I am really sorry for Chen Yi, especially after eating, drinking and having fun outside, sometimes I occasionally think of Chen Yi who is alone and lonely at home, and I will have a very strong sense of guilt in my heart. I'm not afraid of your jokes: Because I often have this sense of guilt and guilt in my heart, when I heard that she and Ye Ming had arrived together, my first reaction was anger and shame, but then I felt a sense of relief in my heart inexplicably, as if the debt I owed to Chen Yi was suddenly paid off at that moment - can you understand what I mean? ”

Wang Hai was originally very disgusted by him mentioning the past affairs, but after hearing the end, he felt that his words were indeed from the heart, and he was indeed analyzing to himself the reason why he didn't hate Ye Ming and Chen Yi very much, his straight face finally relaxed, and asked: "Since you and Chen Yi are in such a situation, why does your father still hate Ye Ming so much?" According to your marital status at the time, even if Ye Ming didn't have an ambiguous relationship with Chen Yi, your ending would be divorce, why would he be so angry? ”

Li Zhi sighed and said, "Uncle Wang, my father doesn't know the true marital status of me and Chen Yi. He is an old friend of Chen Yi's father, he watched her grow up since he was a child, he loves and appreciates her very much, and proposed to her family when she was in high school. Later, after I married Chen Yi, he felt very honored and proud, and said many times in front of his relatives: I can find such a daughter-in-law as Chen Yi, which is not only my blessing, but also the blessing of the entire Li family. In his mind, Chen Yi would never cheat, because he was very confident in his vision of seeing people, and thought that Chen Yi was the most virtuous and reliable woman, and she was also a beautiful woman, and she would definitely abide by women's morals. Because of this, when he learned that Chen Yi was cheating on Ye Ming, he felt that it was a great shame, and thought that he had lost face in front of relatives and friends, so he vowed to take revenge. ”

Wang Hai knew Li Botang very well, and knew that he was a person with strong self-esteem and extreme love for face, so judging that what Li Zhi said should be sincere, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore, and asked instead: "Xiao Li, let me ask you another question: This time you suddenly went to the capital to find Chen Yi, and threatened to go to the Ministry of Finance and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to complain, you did it yourself, but were instructed by others?" You have to tell me the truth, this is related to the life and death of the second half of your life! ”

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment and replied: "Uncle Wang, I won't tell you: I went to the Ministry of Finance and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to sue Chen Yi and Ye Ming, and the last time I went to visit my father in prison, he repeatedly told me. Moreover, he sternly warned me that I could not compromise with Ye Ming, and that I must take advantage of the problem between Chen Yi and her son to bring Ye Ming down. ”

Wang Hai looked at Li Zhi in surprise and asked, "So, it was you who asked Ye Ming to come forward to keep the Xinleng Iron and Steel Plant?" Your father didn't ask you to do that? ”
