Chapter 023 Recalling bitterness and sweetness?
Xiao Qiang smiled faintly, not taking Xiao Zhilong's contempt at all. This way of treating the other party as if nothing had hurt Xiao Zhilong's self-esteem.
Xiao Zhilong is named Long, but because he is not a direct descendant of the Xiao family, he was once ridiculed by many people. Therefore, Xiao Zhilong has a strong sense of self-esteem, but is also very fragile. A little bit of words or stimulating behavior can hurt him very much.
Therefore, Xiao Zhilong tried his best to prove that he was worthy of this name. To put it bluntly, Xiao Zhilong's life has not been for himself since he became sensible, nor for anyone, but for his name purely. This kind of life can be said to be an extremely twisted life. However, he never noticed it.
At this moment, Xiao Qiang's eyes that did not exist really touched his sensitive heart.
"What kind of eyes do you look down on me, don't you?"
Xiao Zhilong was stimulated and stood up suddenly, aiming the fruit knife in his hand at Xiao Qiang. He seemed to want to stab Xiao Qiang to death with one knife. Since Xiao Zhilong became famous, those who despise him have been dealt with directly or indirectly by him using various means. He would never allow anyone to despise him. Those who ignore him deserve to die.
"I don't look down on you, I just feel sad for you." Xiao Qiang still smiled faintly, "You said that you will live for your name in your life, don't you feel sad?"
"Sad? What's sorrow for me? I want money and women. In this world, I don't lack everything men want. What's sorrow for me?"
"You have no dignity and no sense of security. Do you dare not admit this?"
Xiao Qiang's eyes were as if he could see through Xiao Zhilong's heart directly. Xiao Zhilong was stunned when he heard this. These were indeed something he didn't have. He worked hard just to get respect from others. However, for some reason, as long as anyone looked at him a few more, he would feel that others were laughing at him and laughing at him for being overestimated. A boy from a sideline even dared to name him "Long", not only was he not overestimated [31 Novel Network] [31 Novel Network]] Overestimating his abilities, he was simply overestimating his abilities.
"You are talking nonsense, you have no dignity and no sense of security!"
Xiao Zhilong roared loudly, and the fruit knife in his hand danced around.
Seeing Xiao Zhilong looking like crazy, Xiao Qiang suddenly felt that this person was really pitiful. Who should he blame today? His parents or the people around him? Or was he blamed himself?
"Okay, don't go crazy there. Put your knife down and let's have a good chat. If someone in this world can still understand you, that person can only be me!"
"You? Who are you?"
"My name is like you. My surname is Xiao, and my single name is a strong character. So, you should know who I am, right? OK, sit down and throw the knife away. Let's have a good chat!"
"It's you? Haha, it's you. Not bad, only you can understand me!"
Xiao Zhilong threw the knife in his hand and sat back on the sofa dejectedly. Xiao Qiang walked over slowly, walked to the opposite side of him, picked up Lele, and handed it to Yuan Jiamin.
"Sister Yuan, Lele is left to you. She is fine, she just falls asleep. She will wake up in a while. You can hold her and find a room to sleep first. I'll talk to him!"
"You, be careful!"
Yuan Jiamin didn't know what Xiao Qiang was. Thinking of the scene where Xiao Qiang was forcing the four bodyguards outside, Yuan Jiamin felt relieved. Xiao Zhilong was just a weak scholar and could not be Xiao Qiang's opponent. However, both of them had a surname Xiao, could it be related? However, Yuan Jiamin did not ask. If Xiao Qiang wanted to tell her, he would naturally say it.
Watching Yuan Jiamin carry Lele into the room opposite, Xiao Qiang sat down on the sofa and looked at Xiao Zhilong: "Don't you pour me a glass of wine? After all, I'm a guest!"
"What do you want to drink? Red wine or white wine?"
"Bao bar, man, drink some strong liquor to be considered a man!"
"Red wine is taste!" Xiao Zhilong was very dissatisfied with Xiao Qiang's statement, but in turn he was given Xiao Qiang's contemptuous gaze, "What's the point of fighting for this kind of thing? Whether it's red wine or white wine, people have different opinions and wise people!"
Xiao Zhilong was silent. He had to admit that Xiao Qiang was right. He was indeed used to being serious about anything. Whenever the argument won and every time someone surrendered, he would feel a sense of satisfaction. On the contrary, if he lost the argument, he would be confused and resentful.
Pour a glass of snow tree vodka for Xiao Qiang and another glass for himself. Xiao Zhilong slowly walked back to the sofa with two glasses of wine, and handed the glass to Xiao Qiang: "It is my honor to be able to drink a glass with you, young master, and I wish you!"
"We are of the same generation. In terms of age, you are much older than me. I should call me cousin. But do you think I should call me cousin?"
"Don't you?" Xiao Zhilong suddenly laughed. He was a smart person. Since Xiao Qiang asked this, the meaning was very obvious. He recognized his cousin. However, Xiao Zhilong also understood that he and Xiao Qiang had too many entanglements. If he could not resolve these entanglements, even brothers would not be able to escape the consequences of turning against each other.
Xiao Qiang smiled faintly, took a sip of the snow tree, and smacked his lips: "I'm very curious, how have you endured it over the years?"
"People always have a goal. When this goal is not achieved, what can't be tolerated?" Xiao Zhilong also smiled faintly, "You have been able to endure it over the years. Compared to you, what I have received is nothing more than some roll of my eyes, at least I can still be satisfied with material things. And you are much more miserable than me, right?"
"If it weren't for this, maybe I wouldn't have been today. Suffering makes people grow, but if it's just mental hardship, it's often unbearable, leaving behind indelible psychological trauma. But if there's physical torture, hunger, and cold, it's going to make people forget those unpleasant experiences."
"So, are you lucky than me?"
"I think I am indeed lucky than you. At least I have experienced all kinds of hardships. Compared to your simple mental torture, I can be considered comprehensive development!"
"Do you remember the bitterness and sweetness?" Xiao Zhilong suddenly burst into laughter, and Xiao Qiang also laughed. They had a lot in common, but they embarked on two completely different paths. Perhaps it was because of Xiao Qiang's, the hardships he suffered were even more profound, because he was once called the Tiansha Lone Star.
"Young Master, aren't you talking about this to me?"
