Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Feeling Really Heartbroken
"See, I told you we’d have a chance to meet again."
After Brother Chen smiled and said this, Liu Zheng turned to him with a sincere expression and spoke.
"I really want to thank you for last time. Otherwise, I might have already been beaten to a pulp by them."
It looked like he was indeed very sincere.
Liu Jiaxin also chimed in from the side.
"She came to find me just now, insisting on seeing you and wanting to thank you in person."
I originally thought it was just a coincidence to run into each other.
But I never imagined that Liu Zheng would actively seek me out and express such gratitude.
He felt a bit awkward but soon raised his hand and waved it off.
"It’s fine, we’re friends. Helping each other out is no big deal. Don’t worry about it, and besides, I didn’t exert much effort."
That’s what he said.
But in his heart, Liu Zheng was clear.
Everything was truly thanks to Brother Chen.
"Although, to you, it might not seem like much, to me, it’s incredibly important. In the future, if there’s anything I can help with, just call on me. I will definitely help."
Liu Zheng spoke these words with utmost sincerity.
After all, he couldn’t just do nothing.
After all, the man had saved his life.
No matter what, he would certainly repay him properly.
Seeing him so polite, Brother Chen felt a bit uncomfortable for some reason.
Perhaps it was because Liu Zheng at this moment looked too much like that guy from before, and him saying all this with that face made Brother Chen feel a bit uneasy.
"Alright, since there’s nothing else, I’m going to get busy."
Honestly, having said everything that needed to be said, he didn’t want to keep the two from spending time together.
Liu Jiaxin also nodded gently.
"Okay, go ahead with your work."
Soon.
The person in front finally left, and not only that, he even closed the door behind him.
Now, only Liu Zheng and Liu Jiaxin were left in the office.
Liu Zheng immediately came over to Liu Jiaxin.
Last time, he had clearly heard what Brother Chen told those underlings.
He found it very strange at the time; they had messed with someone they shouldn’t have, and he proclaimed himself the boss.
But what could his identity possibly be, and how could he not be clear about that?
The only possibility seemed to be that Liu Jiaxin’s identity was far from simple.
She must be very powerful.
And she was the real boss that Brother Chen was referring to.
The reason he had told those underlings that he was the boss was probably because he felt that he might be in a romantic relationship with Liu Jiaxin, so he said that.
"I never expected your identity to be so special."
Soon, Liu Zheng uttered these words.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaxin was very curious.
She wondered what he meant by ’special’?
You could see a faint smile at the corner of her mouth as she asked.
"What do you mean? What’s this about being ’special’? I don’t think my identity is anything special."
Originally, I just thought Liu Jiaxin was simply a restaurant owner.
But now it seems I really thought too simply; things were never that straightforward.
She even turned out to be a boss in the underworld.
For a woman to climb to such a position is indeed not easy; I can only imagine the countless hardships Liu Jiaxin must have faced back then.
She certainly must have endured great suffering.
Otherwise, she couldn’t possibly have made it this far.
Even if, at first, she only had one person working hard alongside her.
But it wasn’t that simple.
Being a boss in the underworld isn’t something just anyone could aspire to.
"The path you’ve traveled must have been very tough; no matter what, I hope you can be happier and not let anything disturb your peace of mind," he said.
She had originally thought that when he learned of her true identity, he might try to ingratiate himself with her or do something that many men would do.
Because, before this, she had indeed kept some secrets from him.
She hadn’t told him her real identity or how much property she owned.
In the past, she had indeed come into contact with others, and they had become even more obsequious upon learning of her status.
But the man before her was completely different.
He was only thinking about just how difficult her journey had been.
This surprised Liu Jiaxin greatly; she never expected him to think about her situation from such a perspective.
So, for a moment, she was stunned into silence, her mouth open, but in the end, she couldn’t speak a word.
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, so she really didn’t know what she should say.
Seeing her not speaking, Liu Zheng suddenly stood there, puzzled, wondering what was going on with her out of the blue.
Then he lifted his hand, waved it gently before her eyes, and asked,
"What’s wrong with you? Why are you ignoring me?"
Only after hearing this did she finally snap back to reality.
A small smile appeared on her lips, and then she shook her head and said,
"It’s nothing, it’s nothing—I was just thinking about some things from the past."
Liu Zheng then held her in his arms and gently rubbed her head with tenderness.
"Come on, I’ve already said it; don’t be upset about things that happened before. Don’t dwell on the unhappy thoughts."
"No matter what, life now is very beautiful and everything will get better and better."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiaxin naturally nodded in agreement.
And soon, for no apparent reason, he started to apologize.
"It’s really my fault; I’ve upset you."
Naturally, Liu Jiaxin was very curious upon hearing this; she didn’t understand why he would suddenly say such a thing.
She immediately shook her head and responded,
"What are you talking about? None of this is related to you at all; why are you taking all the blame onto yourself?"
"It was my fault for suddenly mentioning your past. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have thought of those unhappy things. So, it is my fault."
To think it was something so trivial.
It was just for that reason, after all.
But to tell the truth.
Liu Jiaxin had never thought that way, never felt that all of it had anything to do with him.
Naturally, she couldn’t have any complaints against him.
"Alright, you’re really overthinking it; I don’t blame you," she assured him.
