Chapter Seventy-Three: Explanation (Part II)
"When you mention the word opportunity twice, you say 'no' and 'how is it possible', but have you actually thought about what you have been fighting for?" Wendy asked, frowning. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Me? I...... It's the guilty......" Mackay lowered his head.
"Atonement is just to find a psychological comfort for oneself, and no matter what way it is, the essence of atonement is self-satisfaction. In this era, if human beings want to live, they must have the consciousness to move forward despite the obstacles despite their sins. Wendy stared at Mackay, but his eyes were a little misty.
"This?" Ma Kai stopped talking for a while, stopped talking, and finally said in a hurry: "Major Wen, I am different from you. I'm different from you, Brother Ye, and Colonel Long. You are one in a thousand elites, and I know all of you needless to say, everyone can see that you are different. As for me, I'm just a poor boy from a slum, with no culture, let alone ability. Although I once boasted about Haikou and vowed to kill all the alien monsters, no one would believe it, not even me...... I didn't have the ability, I was so hot-blooded, and when I looked back, I laughed at myself for how dare I be so crazy. I don't have that much perseverance, I'm not like you, I have all mankind in my heart, I only know who is good to me, I will repay whom, I don't understand other things, let alone control them...... I haven't read much, and I've said so much that I don't even know what I'm talking about, Major Wen, do you understand? β
Wendi sighed, looked at the space behind Ma Kai with empty eyes, and said leisurely: "Everyone calls me a noble son, but in fact, I was not born rich and noble......"
"My father's name is Wen Duhai, and he is the boss of the very prestigious 'Wen's Heavy Industries' in the Asian Federation, and he is also the general manager of the entire 'Wen's Group'. But I didn't grow up with him, my mother was a down-and-out woman, and she really didn't have any special abilities other than being beautiful. She was adopted by my father at a very young age, and as his mistress, she gave birth to me, and later my sister......"
"My mother is really beautiful, my father is a stallion who likes the new and hates the old, and has never had two children with the same woman except my mother. But no matter how beautiful a woman is, she can't resist the ravages of time, and after giving birth to my sister, she ages rapidly. My father never came to see her again, but sent us money every month to survive in the slums. β
"Major Wen, you are ...... too" Ma Kai looked at Wen Di in surprise. Wendi's seemingly ordinary narration is tantamount to a thunderbolt on the ground, how could Ma Kai not think that Wendi, the "noble son" in everyone's mouth, actually came out of the slums.
"I also came out of the ghetto, and I stayed in the ghetto until I was 14, the same age as you. When I was 14 years old, I lived in misery every day, and I saw that all my friends around me had been stereotyped and completely become slaves of this society, and I told myself that if I lived like this, I would be like them, and I would not find a little hope in life; To live such a dark and hopeless day, I would really go crazy. I forced my mother to beg my father to pick me up, I wanted to leave the ghetto, I wanted to study, I wanted to change myself, I wanted to become stronger. β
"My mother pleaded with my affectionate man for me, but he really agreed, the only condition was that she could only take me alone, and my mother and sister had to stay in the slums. At that time, I thought that even if I stayed and didn't leave, I wouldn't be able to change the situation at home, and even if I left, the living expenses that my family relied on Wen Duhai every month would not become worse than before. I can only change myself and change my destiny when I get out of there; Only when I am truly strong will I have the ability to come back and take my mother and sister away with me. I was absolutely naΓ―ve, and it only took a few years, no, with my talent to be able to come back and pick up my mother and sister to live a healthy and prosperous life, and leave the slums like a quagmire of depravity. When Wendy said this, a smile like crying appeared on his face, which was a mockery of his innocence and selfishness when he was 14 years old, and a laugh at why he was so stupid at that time, to be self-righteous and think that he could change everything. He laughed for a moment, then said:
"I felt that this was an opportunity given to me by God, I told myself to have a firm grip on my destiny, and after leaving the slums, he took me to a place where the rich people lived, so that I could study, learn various skills, and later arranged for me to enter Wen's Heavy Industries as an intern. I went crazy studying and vowed to get back all the time I had wasted. I have done a very good job, and many of the elders of the Wen family have looked at me and given me high expectations, and even regarded me as one of the objects of family successor training. β
"At this time, I feel that I have truly integrated into this powerful family, and I am also a part of them, and my words should have weight. So I asked to bring my mother and sister, who were still in the slums, to my side......"
"Did they say yes?" Ma Kai asked, in fact, he had vaguely guessed the answer, but he still hoped for a miracle, and hoped that Wendy's life would not suffer so much.
"No, to my surprise, what I thought was a reasonable request was ridiculed like never before from the elders of the family who usually looked at me with a lot of eyes. They said they couldn't understand my thoughts, I was already a member of the family, why should I care about that lowly woman, you must know that when I returned to the Wen family, they had completely distanced themselves from that woman, and no longer provided her with any financial assistance, maybe she would have died of poverty a long time ago. β
"How so? How can they be so excessive? Ma Kai screamed.
"yes, how can they go so far? But is it so difficult to take care of a woman who gave birth to two children for their family? It was just a gesture for them, but they coldly rejected my mother. It turns out that in the Wen family, there are many illegitimate children like me, and there are also many mistresses like my mother, which is not a bad thing for them. In this crazy era, it is definitely not easy to maintain the continued prosperity of a big family, in this extraordinary era, it is necessary to use extraordinary means, each generation of the Wen family patriarch will deliberately reproduce a lot of offspring, and the boys in these descendants will be sent back to the family headquarters for cultivation after they are sensible, and the best of them will become the successors of the family. I should have returned to that man and been nurtured by him, but my mother kept resisting, and she felt that she could bring up my sister and me even by herself. β
"Your mother was a great person." Growing up in a slum, Ma Kai naturally knows the hardships of surviving there
