510 Chapter 511
I didn't know whether Zhang Mingjie didn't see it or pretended not to see it, but he actually showed no reaction to Liu Xiaosheng's contempt and said with a smile, "Yeah, I heard that Mr. Liu decided to go to other places to recuperate for a while, so I asked Mr. Chu to come to visit you. I hope that by using this opportunity, you two can let go of the past and make peace with each other. I think, more or less, this will help Mr. Liu recuperate."
"Is that so…" Liu Xiaosheng replied indifferently, This cold attitude finally made Zhang Mingjie feel a little uncomfortable.
"Unless, Mr. Liu thinks that I'm just being meddlesome."
"No… Thank you." Liu Xiaosheng smiled, but his words didn't show any sincerity at all. He then turned to me and said, "After learning about Min Rou's relationship with the Third Lady, I knew that I had implicated the Liu family. Min Rou held the evidence that I harmed you, but she didn't give it to the police straight away. Instead, she waited until the Liu family gathered a group of people to put pressure on her before she showed the evidence. Her goal was very clear. She wanted to get even with me for what I did to you on your behalf. If we offend Min Rou, we also offend the Third Lady—and if we offend the Third Lady, we also offend those who want to curry favor with the Third Lady.
"Indeed it is crucial to the future of the Liu family for you to visit me. To be honest, my father also asked my younger sister last night to seek your help. He hopes that you can reconcile with me, and the Liu family is willing to give you any compensation for this. But my younger sister refuses to do it. I guess you've already figured out what happened to my younger sister's face and who did it... It's a pity that she is wrong. She thinks that the reconciliation is not fair to you. But she didn't know that the one who doesn't want to reconcile is me.
"Chu Nan, I can tell you right now that I, Liu Xiaosheng, will never ask for your forgiveness. If time could be reversed, I believe I would still do it. After thinking about what happened that day for a long time, I realized that the only mistake I made was to underestimate that wolf..."
Mo Fei almost exploded with anger. "Liu Xiaosheng, how can you be so shameless?!"
Liu Xiaosheng smiled lightly. "Miss Mo, if it was in the past, I will only keep these words in my heart if you are sitting here. But why do I need to hide it now? You have given me the clearest answer with practical actions, completely destroying my fantasy, so why should I still pretend?"
What this guy said was quite straightforward, but I was not disgusted by it. A beast is scary when it bares fangs, and a human being is scary when they hide their malice in their heart.
Zhang Mingjie wanted to talk, but he didn't know what to say. He hesitated, and his face didn't look very well, probably because he felt that Liu Xiaosheng didn't give him any face. After all, he had told me that Liu Xiaosheng regretted what he had done, but now Liu Xiaosheng said that he did not regret it at all, and he even said that he would do it again if he could...
"If there is anything else I regret, it is to ask for help from you, Chu Nan. What is your status? You are just an ordinary man! You have nothing, but you still made me lose my dignity and cried out to you for help. In the trap I dug with my own hands, it was you who rescued me... It's such a humiliation! I really wish that I died there. In that way, I would not continue to live while carrying such a humiliation. But I know that I am very afraid of death. In order to live decently in the future, when I was being sent to the operating table, I was still thinking about hiring a killer to wipe you out."
Mo Fei had never seen such a shameless man before. She was so angry that she kept gnashing her teeth. Seeing that she was about to say something angrily, I held her hand, signalling her to calm down.
"Chu Nan, you don't have to forgive me."
I looked at Liu Xiaosheng's calm eyes and said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, you don't need to worry, I have never been a very generous person."
Mo Fei and Zhang Mingjie were confused. They didn't understand why I would still smile at the man that still wanted to harm me. Liu Xiaosheng fell silent after hearing what I said.
After thinking for a while, he said, "But I still envy you, Chu Nan. You are indeed a scary man… Miss Mo, I want to chat with him alone. I hope you won't mind."
Mo Fei frowned, but seeing me nodding, she stood up reluctantly and said to me, "I'll be waiting for you outside."
"Mhm."
Zhang Mingjie opened the door for Mo Fei, and then closed the door. But Liu Xiaosheng said again, "Mr. Zhang, I want to talk to Chu Nan alone."
"Huh?" Zhang Mingjie looked embarrassed. "Do I also need to leave?"
Liu Xiaosheng didn't answer, but Mo Fei said unhappily outside, "Zhang Mingjie, come out! Do you not understand Chinese or what?"
Although Zhang Mingjie was angry, he didn't dare to say anything. He once again opened the door and went out. Mo Fei's undisguised disgust didn't make Liu Xiaosheng feel embarrassed. Instead, he smiled at me. "It seems that any matter that involves you, Miss Mo will become another person."
"Really?" I vaguely said, "She seems to be like this all the time..."
Liu Xiaosheng didn't agree with me. "This is the reason why I will never win against you. You have no desire and no ambition. Therefore, there is no need for you to be scheming. Such a man can always give women more sense of security. Of course, it is the kind of woman who does not love vanity like Miss Mo. In other words, all the women that are attracted to you are rare good women. As a man, I have no reason not to envy you.
"But the scary thing about you is that you are very good at hiding. However, a few people can see through it—you are a hypocrite. You can fool many people into thinking that you are a kind and good person. I also thought the same in the past. But now I can be sure that you are just pretending. Your ability to conceal your true intention is so good that I envy you for having this ability even more than I envy you for being popular with good women."
"Is Mr. Liu complimenting me or mocking me?"
"Neither. I'm just telling you that you made me understand many things." Liu Xiaosheng said with a smile, "The hatred of me in your heart is no less than the hatred I have towards you. The difference is that my hatred is unconcealed, while your hatred is mixed with pretentious sympathy and compassion, which are even more disgusting. But you can control such complex emotions freely. For the sake of Xingyu and Guo Xiang, you can even hide it in the bottom of your heart and come to visit me—the person who almost killed you—with a smile. There are not many people who can do this. To put it nicely, you are a very forgiving person, but to put it bluntly, you are just a hypocrite."
"Mr. Liu, is this the reason why you want to talk to me alone? Just to tell me that I'm a hypocrite?"
Liu Xiaosheng's eyes narrowed and he said solemnly, "There is really no need to beat around the bush when talking to smart people. I will be honest with you, I have a business proposal for you."

I was confused. "Then aren't you talking to the wrong person? You should talk to Ms. Mo if you have a business proposal."
"Miss Mo has been completely deceived by you, do you think she will still have an equal dialogue with me?" Liu Xiaosheng joked, "No matter how shrewd and ambitious a woman is, after falling in love with a man, her discerning ability will be greatly reduced. As I said, this is a deal between smart people... Moreover, if I talk to Miss Mo, I am afraid that Mr. Zhang will definitely smell that something is not right. That person's nose is no worse than the wolf in that ecological garden."
"What does Mr. Liu mean?" I vaguely realized Liu Xiaosheng's purpose for talking to me. I didn't know whether it was because of feeling nervous or excited, my palms were a little wet.
"You must also feel strange why Zhang Mingjie persuaded you to visit me, right?" Liu Xiaosheng said, "I don't remember that he and I were such good friends that he would bow his head to ask help from someone for me. Not to mention that it was to ask help from a person that he doesn't want to ask help from the most."
"Mr. Liu, if you have something to say, you can say it directly." I said, "I am indeed here because of Guo Xiang and Xingyu, but I won't deny that I am a little curious about Zhang Mingjie's purpose. This is also one of the reasons why I accepted his request to come here."
"Is it because you think I'm not friends with him? Or..." Liu Xiaosheng paused, "do you feel that Zhang Mingjie is not as simple as it seems?"
I didn't answer, because I felt that those two were the same thing.
"We are indeed not friends." Liu Xiaosheng said, "There is no doubt that our reconciliation will affect some people's attitudes towards the Liu family. At least no one will put pressure on us to please the Third Lady. Moreover, Min Rou and the Third Lady also won't go after the Liu family because of you. So the Liu family's crisis will be solved... But if I advise you to do this, what benefits will Zhang Mingjie get? I'm afraid this is also where you don't understand, right?"
The only explanation I could think of was that Zhang Mingjie really treated Liu Xiaosheng as a friend, but this explanation was not good enough for me. I always felt that Zhang Mingjie was not such a loyal person.
"Borrowing money..." Liu Xiaosheng suddenly said these two words slowly.
