Chapter 597 - 597 598 Heart-to-Heart (27)_1
?Chapter 597: Chapter 598: Heart-to-Heart (27)_1 Chapter 597: Chapter 598: Heart-to-Heart (27)_1 Liang Chen seemed to realize that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. He shifted slightly, picked up his chopsticks, took some vegetables, and placed them on Jing Haohao’s plate, saying, “Eat more.”
Jing Haohao was slightly healed by his action. She looked up at Liang Chen and said softly, “I was just joking with you earlier, I didn’t mean to curse her, don’t…don’t be angry.”
Liang Chen trembled slightly at Jing Haohao’s soft-spoken tone. He never dreamed that one day, the attitude and words she once had for Shen Liangnian would also be used on him.
Liang Chen felt a lump in his throat from the sentimental moment. He swallowed hard after a while, and gave Jing Haohao a light chuckle, saying, “It’s okay.”
…
Liang Chen and Jing Haohao have known each other for a year and a half since last May to this November, a total of eighteen months. During this time, they never really put down their differences, sat together, and peacefully had a meal and chatted.
Tonight was the first time.
There were no forced resentments, no arrogance of looking down on each other.
They were both calm, sitting face to face at the revolving restaurant at the highest point of Jiangshan City, looking at the night view of Jiangshan City, talking about everything under the sun.
Jing Haohao had never talked so much to Liang Chen before. She shared many interesting stories from her childhood, most of which were happy moments when her parents were alive. When it came to the funny parts, she would laugh before finishing the story, her eyes brimming with joy, the corners of her eyes revealing a charming charm.
Perhaps influenced by Jing Haohao, Liang Chen also spoke more than usual. He had never shared his past with anyone, and Jing Haohao was the first. He spoke in detail, from his first venture in Jiangshan City, to failure and losing everything, to starting again, how he bought his first plot of land, made his first fortune, how he registered a company with his first income, established the Jiangshan Group, and later the company diversified and expanded into real estate, electronics, hotels, food… Then Jing Haohao found out that Liang Chen owned shares in 80% of the industries in Jiangshan City.
Jing Haohao never interrupted Liang Chen. She listened carefully, as if listening to a story.
His words were appropriately chosen, just right for the occasion, without overly embellishing his past efforts and struggles or revealing any trace of pride or arrogance when speaking about his ultimate victory.
From beginning to end, he spoke in an understated tone, as if he were telling someone else’s story.
His way of speaking was comfortable to listen to and allowed Jing Haohao to thoroughly understand Liang Chen for the first time.
This man, who has a rich family background, did not rely on his family to succeed.
This man, who to outsiders seemed like a god-like figure, also failed miserably, burdened with debts totaling millions, at the age of nineteen.
He had a resilience that others did not have and was not discouraged by adversity. Instead, he gathered momentum and made a strong comeback.
Only then did Jing Haohao understand that this man, who was born into a good family, was good looking and excelled in everything, actually had many qualities that others didn’t.
PS: That’s all for today, continue tomorrow~~~ I combined the heart-to-heart conversation and the warming up in one title, because I found they were happening concurrently~~~ Haohao now thoroughly understands Liang Chen for the first time~~~~
