Morrison’s words made Qi Feng look much happier. He silently looked down at his own legs, and after a long while, his lips curved upwards.

“These legs have lost sensation for six years now. In these past six years, I’ve forgotten how it’s like to stand.” You could hear a coldness in his raspy voice. When Morrison turned to look at him, it was not hard to catch a hint of darkness in Qi Feng’s eyes.

Morrison knew what Qi Feng was thinking, so he could not help but sigh. “Master, you’ll get better. Six years have pa.s.sed us by. Whatever happens, we can’t just resign ourselves to this adversity.”

Resign to adversity?

When he heard these words, Qi Feng revealed a stern smile.

There was no such thing as resigning to adversities in his dictionary of life! As the saying went, legitimacy belonged to the victor. In his fight with Mu Yuchen, it was still early to see who would be getting the last laugh!

1What was the best way to get rid of resentment?

He would let that person have a taste of suffering that was many, many more times than what he had gone through!

If G.o.d gave him another hint of hope again this time, did that mean that G.o.d did not actually abandon him and still looked over him? Was G.o.d letting him have hope to be able to stand again?

Would he be able to stand on his feet again? Could he?

Qi Feng thought about it as he hands were already tightly on his knees, gripping onto them. The light in his eyes instantly became a little sharper.

If he could, then…

When he saw that Qi Feng did not reply, Morrison asked another question, “Master, what should we do about Gu Qiwu and Doris’s matter?”

Morrison’s voice was heard once again, then Qi Feng snapped back from his trance. He breathed in slightly and turned to look at the river surface that reflected the sunset afterglow. He paused for a moment, then responded, “That’s between the two of them. There’s nothing we need to do. We’ll just sit back and relax. At this time, choosing anyone’s side won’t benefit us, so our best strategy is to maintain neutral. Of course, we’ll see how things are on Shasha’s end.”

“But, Master, I heard that Doris is planning on getting a divorce with Gu Qiwu who’s already grounded her. I heard she’s been looking for a lawyer to draft the divorce papers for her. If the two of them get a divorce, I’m worried that it won’t benefit us much!”

Morrison frowned and continued, “In fact, there’s also Mu Lingshi now, we can’t be sure about Gu Qiwu’s att.i.tude just yet. Right now, with Doris’s scandal, we can’t guarantee that Gu Qiwu won’t just acknowledge Mu Lingshi. When that time comes…the advantage that Mu Lingshi would have might far surpa.s.s our young Missus!”

Qi Feng’s eyes darkened, then he grinned. “Don’t worry about this. Even if we compromise, I don’t see that anyone will be willing. Has Qi Lei been doing anything recently?” He changed the topic, and his gaze averted from the surface of the river back to Morrison.

Morrison inhaled and quickly responded, “For now, we don’t see him doing anything out of the ordinary. Apart from going to work every day, we don’t see him interacting with anyone else. Oh, a few days ago, he seemed to have been hard on Xi Xinyi for a bit. I tried to find out and heard that Xi Xinyi had some conflict with Xi Xiaye before this. Even though her status in the company has improved compared to before, that’s also because we have to see who Xi Xinyi is under! Yue Hai’s capabilities aren’t weak. Isn’t she embarra.s.sing Yue Hai by doing that?”

“Yue Hai’s recent behavior has been odd. The old man’s current state is worrying me as well. Find a chance to ask Yue Hai out. I’d like to talk to him. Also, watch Xi Xinyi. Shasha has been saying that she’s useful as well.”

Morrison quickly nodded in understanding. “Don’t worry, Master. I got it! I’ll pay attention to that.”

“Leave now,” Qi Feng said before quietly looking up the stairs. Xi Xiaye and Xiao Mei had already vanished.

…

The weather that evening was great. The sunset covered half the sky in red while the entire city became busy amidst the intoxicating life.

After working hard for an entire day, it was finally time for work to end.

In the lobby of Qi Kai Corporation, Qi Lei had just finished a day’s work when he walked out of the company building, feeling relieved.

It was finally Friday again. He thought about it before looking down at the thick books in his hand. He was planning on going straight to the city library.

He had been going to the library and museum quite a lot recently as one of the ways to pa.s.s time. Otherwise, he would be playing games with Dongfang Liuyun, but she seemed to be busy and had not been online for a few days now. Since he was bored playing alone, he would just end the game abruptly.

It was going to be a weekend of rest since matters at City B had been going well. On Chenye Movies and Television’s end, those old fellows were secretly handling things. Right then, apart from supervising, he would be busy with the design blueprints, thus he had been going to the library quite a lot.

The city library was located in the city center, nearer to the north of the city where it was quiet and secluded. There were quite a few parks around the area.

Qi Lei drove over and parked his car at a nearby park. Then, he walked through the park to the library. Usually, he would go alone, but that day, he had Yang Sheng with him.

When they walked over the stone arch bridge in the park, Yang Sheng saw people leisurely dancing at the plaza below them, and he could not help but suggest, “Master Qi, today’s sunset’s pretty nice. How about we sit down and rest for a bit? It won’t be too late to go to the library later when there are fewer people. It only closes at 9.30 p.m. You’ve been very busy recently as well and you should take the time to relax.”

“I’m considered quite free these past few days. They’re all caught up in the mess, so they haven’t come disturbing me, and I finally get to enjoy momentary peace,” Qi Lei answered leisurely with both hands in his pocket as he walked unhurriedly across the bridge.

Yang Sheng tried to probe his expression as he squinted at Qi Lei before saying softly, “Master Qi, Manager Gu did call you before this, but I rejected her. With the way things played out, I’m sure she’s not doing very well.”

When Qi Lei heard that, he slowly stopped walking.
