Volume 2 The Garden of Hearts Chapter 217 The Hand of Sin
Su Guangwu was still observing, or rather, he was still patient.
On the one hand, he asked the Harold Center to arrange to monitor Bai Wanai's ward, because he learned that there were too many people who went to visit Bai Wanai after he woke up, and many of them were high-level executives and even behind-the-scenes shareholders of the Seventh Group, which made Su Guangwu feel very worried; On the other hand, he pressured the Harold Center to end the war as soon as possible, and to win and not lose.
Shu Jinhan, as Su Guangwu's best ally, when Bai Wanai was unconscious, Su Guangwu saw the opportunity and found an opportunity to persuade Shu Jinhan to stand on his side. Shu Jinhan's personality is like a child, as long as he controls his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, he can control his actions and thoughts, which is not only Su Guangwu, almost every high-level member of the Seven Group knows, which is why he was arranged to be the commander-in-chief of the Harold Center - because of his character, he is destined to be a manipulative pawn.
But what almost everyone doesn't know is that Shu Jinhan is actually very sensitive in his heart, he is afraid of being betrayed, afraid of being abandoned, afraid of being deceived.
Under the instruction of Su Guangwu, Shu Jinhan ostensibly sent someone to protect the unconscious Bai Wanai, but in fact he wanted to spy on him. In addition, he also made a lot of contributions to Su Guangwu's promotion of other high-level leaders of the Seven Group to agree to the battle involving the sky.
Because Shu Jinhan himself knew that he would be arranged to be the commander-in-chief of the Harold Center not because that group of people valued his ability, but because they wanted to treat him as a pawn. Su Guangwu was the first and only one to tell him that he was genuinely willing to cooperate with him on an equal footing, rather than with an attitude of instructing and commanding.
So he believed it, and did his best for Su Guangwu's plan, just to thank him for his sincere treatment.
However, Su Guangwu's attitude towards him recently seems to have become more and more powerful, from the initial urging to the current pressure. Everyone in the Harold Center knew that Su Guangwu didn't understand war at all, and he only hoped that he could become famous and famous for centuries.
But fortunately, Su Guangwu didn't say anything particularly excessive, and his tone was controlled as calmly as possible, and Shu Jinhan was still able to accept it.
At noon today, Su Guangwu came to the Harold Center again.
This time, his tone was slightly uncontrolled, leaving his conversation with Shukinhan at an impasse.
Su Guangwu finally calmed himself down, so he took the lead in saying:
"I'm sorry, Commander Shu, I spoke in a bad tone before, please forgive me. In this way, I sent the engineering designer of the UPR battleship, Hou Jingyao, to the battleship as a technical advisor, which should be regarded as a help to you, and it can be regarded as my reparation for my rude behavior just now. β
Seeing Su Guangwu's sincere attitude, Shu Jinhan naturally wouldn't continue to play with his temper, he still longed to get a feeling from Su Guangwu that he had never felt beforeβthe feeling of being trusted, relied on, and like a real partner he had read.
But the various actions of the man in front of him made him have to doubt the sincerity of the other party.
Shu Jinhan nodded, and also tried to contain his emotions, since Su Guangwu had apologized, he was naturally willing to resume this meeting.
"Where, Mr. Su, we are grateful for your help. Mr. Su must have something to discuss with me when he came this time, and now I should listen to it. β
"Thank you, Commander Shu. Actually, I do have something to worry about......"
"Oh?"
Su Guangwu told Shu Jinhan his worries and thoughts, but Shu Jinhan was startled.
"Mr. Su, you're not kidding, are you?"
"How could such a joke be made. But Commander Shu, this sentence can only be said to you, you must not leak it to others. β
Seeing that Shu Jinhan was still a little undecided, and was hesitating there, Su Guangwu patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Commander Shu, have you forgotten? What do the rest of the Group Seven think of you and treat you, don't you want to prove your abilities? At this moment, there is an opportunity in front of you, as long as we complete this holy war together, then all mankind will remember our name, and at that time we will be admired by everyone, and no one will dare to look down on you, Brother Shu. β
Su Guangwu's words had an immediate effect, and Shu Jinhan was immediately persuaded by him and agreed to his request.
After the two discussed, Su Guangwu immediately sent Hou Jingyao to the Harold Center as a technical advisor, and that afternoon, he took the Harold Center's elevator plane and arrived at the UPR warship stationed in the air.
"Thank you."
As he left the elevator and entered the battleship, he did not forget to say goodbye to the envoys who had escorted him all the way.
Hou Jingyao is a consultant directly sent by the Elon Group, and he is one of the main developers of this warship, so he naturally deserves the highest attention and the best treatment.
Therefore, as soon as he comes, the heavenly generals will come to receive him.
Hou Jingyao behaved politely during the meeting, and it seemed that he should be able to get along well with the people here.
Yu Minghan accompanied the light curtain to play around every day, and Bai Xiyue and Bai Xuqi's mother and daughter went to take care of Bai Wanai who woke up every day. Maybe Bai Wanai's real heart knot is this daughter with a rich personality, so when Bai Xiyue confides in his true words, he will react immediately when he is in a coma.
Now he has lost almost everything that belonged to him before he fell into a coma, the company has been lost, and he himself has been lost.
Every day, when Bai Xuqi and Bai Xiyue entered Bai Wanai's ward, Bai Wanai would show the happiest smile, and he was really a kind old man.
"Is Xu Qi and Xiyue here?"
The tone was no longer stern and gentle.
Bai Xuqi immediately ran to Bai Wanai's side to be coquettish, but Bai Xiyue stood a little farther away, keeping a distance and watching silently, unwilling to speak.
Seeing that Bai Xiyue had excluded herself, Bai Wanai couldn't help but joke:
"I don't know what happened during my coma, the once wayward eldest lady has finally become a mother."
Bai Xiyue knew that this was Bai Wanai teasing her, so she replied without thinking about it:
"I know I'm an unqualified parent, but I've inherited it, and I can't help it."
"Oh?" After listening to this, Bai Wanai nodded, "Indeed, I used to be completely immersed in my own resentment, and all I wanted was to snatch everything from my brother as soon as possible, so I ignored Jiayi and ignored you." β
Bai Xiyue bit her lip, Bai Wanai's tone had already revealed guilt, and she couldn't continue to play emotions in front of Xu Qi.
"Those are all in the past, maybe after all this time, we shouldn't care about ...... anymore"
"Huh?" Bai Wanai felt a little incredible, so he looked at Bai Xiyue with a slightly surprised expression.
"But I still have a question for you - have you ever loved your mother?"
"I ......" Faced with this question, Bai Wanai was silent. Silence does not mean escape, he is just remembering, saving, seeking the unknown in silence.
"When I first met her, she was a college student, and I had dropped out of college and chose to work outside. At first, I didn't mix well, working in the company during the day and working part-time in a coffee shop at night to barely pay the rent. (Bai Wanai)
"Coffee shops, there are indeed many coffee shops that are open 24 hours a day, because the pressure in the city center is very high, many office workers and even students will stay up late to work overtime or study, these coffee shops that are also open at night just provide them with a quiet and working atmosphere, and at the same time provide coffee to refresh them." (White Seal Moon)
"Exactly, in fact, there are more customers in the coffee shop at night than during the day, and I remember that the coffee shop where I worked before also launched a 'night card' in order to attract customers, with which you can get a discount on night consumption, and it really attracted a lot of people at that time." (Bai Wanai)
"Huh? So why not just get a discount card and get a discount day and night, wouldn't it be better? (Bai Xuqi)
"Haha, there are also some of them, called 'full attendance card', but it will be more expensive than the night attendance card. This statement may not be correct, it should be said that the night card is cheaper than the full time card, because some groups are dedicated to going to the coffee shop at night to work overtime, if you buy a full time card, you will feel that the time during the day is wasted, at this time there is a night card, people will feel that it is very cost-effective, because they feel that the money they spend is not wasted. This kind of behavior of launching different products for different groups and setting corresponding different prices is called ......" (Bai Wanai)
"Product differentiation and price discrimination, right? And if I guess correctly, every time I sell a night card to those night workers, I will definitely sell the full attendance card first, and if the other party agrees, then I can charge more; If the other party doesn't agree, then continue to sell the night card, because the price of the night card is cheaper, and the specificity is stronger, in contrast to the previous full attendance card, people will suddenly feel that this thing is very cost-effective, so they are more willing to buy, right? (Bai Xiyue)
"Hahaha, it seems that you don't just know how to play all day long, and you've learned a lot. You know the economic effects and the principles of psychology, and if you open a store, you will definitely do a good business. (Bai Wanai)
"Hmph, to be honest, I actually have my own company for a long time." (White Seal Moon)
"Oh? No wonder every time I threaten you with not giving you living expenses, you look like you are not afraid, it turns out that you have long been financially independent. (Bai Wanai)
"I don't even know what my daughter is doing, and you're a father for nothing." (White Seal Moon)
"Huh? Hey? Didn't you talk about your grandmother before? Why are you talking about this again all of a sudden? (Bai Xuqi)
"Ah, I'm sorry." (White Seal Moon)
"No, no, aren't we just talking about grandma. Jiayi is a person who likes to come to the coffee shop to study at night, and I have received countless people in the coffee shop, but that night, among so many people, I have an indescribable feeling when I see her. (Bai Wanai)
"Do you like it?" (White Seal Moon)
"Uh......" (Bai Wanai)
"Is it love?" (Bai Xuqi)
"Uh...... Ahem, objectively speaking, I think she's very good-looking and beautiful. Whether I like it, or rather, love, I can't be sure ......" (Bai Wanai)
"It doesn't matter if it's not, she's your wife anyway." (White Seal Moon)
"Well, indeed. I still remember that night, when I was serving her coffee, she looked up and smiled at me and said thank you to me, ah, I was thinking at that time, she was really good when she smiled. (Bai Wanai)
"Are you reminiscing?" (White Seal Moon)
"But at that time, I could be described as poor, I was busy day and night, but I couldn't save much money every month, and sometimes I even had to borrow money to pay the rent, so who could I give happiness? So at that time, I just thought that after tonight, maybe we wouldn't see each other again. (Bai Wanai)
Bai Xiyue just asked if he loved her or not, why did this kind of general question sentence start with such a lot of words?
But then, when she came almost every night, I stood silently at the counter and watched her back as she studied hard. Ah, how lucky it is, every time she sits right away from me. (Bai Wanai)
"Can you make a long story short?" (White Seal Moon)
"Hmm...... Well, to make a long story short, it is, after that we met, and then we lived together, and then we got together, and then we got married, and then we ...... With you. (Bai Wanai)
"So what? Have you ever loved your mother? (Bai Xiyue)
"I love her, I've always loved her." (Bai Wanai)
"Then why didn't you accompany her when she gave birth to me?" (White Seal Moon)
"I ......"
Bai Wanai was silent again, how did he answer this question?
"I have no excuses, it's my sin, I was lucky enough to think that it didn't matter if I wasn't with her, but the gods let me know that any luck will be rewarded."
That's it? Bai Xiyue didn't understand, this man, wouldn't it be good to make some excuses for himself? Wouldn't it be nice to quibble? How to make yourself scold him badly?
Bai Xiyue herself fell into chaos, and Bai Wanai came to ask her instead:
"You took my ring, right?"
"Yes, how?"
"It's nothing, the ring is left with me, it's useless, you can take it to someone in need."
"Isn't that your mom's wedding ring? Why do you say it's useless to you? β
"You, you, you want to scold me when you find an opportunity. Alas, that's because I'll be able to see your mother soon, and I won't have to miss her every day with the ring. β
"See her? How do you meet her? β
Bai Xiyue was in a hurry, and asked directly, but looking at Bai Wanai with an indifferent smile, after calming down, she understood.
"You're saying you're going to ......"
"Shh~"
Bai Wanai pointed at Bai Xuqi and motioned to Bai Xiyue not to say it in front of her.
"Huh? What's wrong? Seeing that they were suddenly silent again, Bai Xuqi asked suspiciously.
"Nothing, Xuqi." Bai Wanai touched Bai Xuqi's little head with her hand, "It's just that, everyone's fate is doomed, and when that day comes, we can only accept it calmly." β
"......So fast," Bai Xiyue muttered.
"Xiyue?" Bai Wanai saw that Bai Xiyue was a little silent, and asked with some concern.
Bai Xiyue is really mixed at the moment, he has been the right father all his life, and he finally woke up after being angry with himself, and finally the relationship between them has eased, but he is about to ......
"How do you know? Also, you mentioned the gods before, shouldn't it be ......" (Bai Xiyue)
"Well, it's the god in the sky. When I was unconscious, my consciousness seemed to drift to a very high place, where I felt as if I had returned to my infancy, my thoughts became very simple, but the happiness came very directly, for no reason, as if I was happy just because I existed. (Bai Wanai)
"Angel ......" (White Seal Moon)
"Then the god appeared before my eyes. He took me around the circle, and let me see countless wonders that I had never seen before, and strangely enough, I actually had a deep longing and yearning for those scenes, maybe we humans were really transformed by angels. (Bai Wanai)
But aren't the angels trying to kill us? They're so scary. (Bai Xuqi)
"Xuqi, there are some things that my grandfather can't explain...... Each of us is like a traveler groping our way on a dark path, and what will happen on our way can only be known when we actually encounter it. (Bai Wanai)
