Chapter 1298 You look down on me

"Bow your head?" A sneer flashed in Li Xiangqian's eyes. "You just want to force me to do what you want. But I won't bow my head for anyone. You are not worth it."

Jia Zhang's face changed, anger surged in her heart, but she was somewhat powerless in the face of Li Xiangqian's disdainful attitude. She finally realized that all her methods could not shake him in the slightest. And this was what she was most unwilling to accept.

"Do you look down on me so much?" She was so angry that her voice trembled a little, and her eyes were filled with complicated emotions. "Do you think you can drive me away so easily and not care about anything?"

Li Qianqian stopped, turned around and looked her straight in the eye. "What do you want me to do?" he asked coldly, "Make me surrender? Or do you want me to return to the track you set and act according to your wishes like a puppet?"

Jia Zhang was so angry that her face turned pale, and the anger in her eyes almost burst out, but she didn't say anything. She took a deep breath, turned around and walked to the side, as if trying to calm her inner fluctuations.

Li Xiangqian looked at her from behind, but his heart was not moved. He knew that Jia Zhang's strength was just a superficial illusion, and deep down, she also felt uncontrollable anxiety and uneasiness. The "strong" image she forcibly created was ultimately just a fragile shell that could be broken at any time.

He turned around again, with a relaxed pace and a calm mind. To him, all these disputes, threats, and anger were just an episode in his life and would not affect his pace at all.

However, Jia Zhang obviously would not give up easily. She turned around suddenly, and the anger in her eyes seemed to be ignited again. She used all her strength and lowered her voice to ask: "Are you so indifferent, without even a trace of guilt?"

Li Xiangqian did not look back, but continued to walk forward. His tone was calm, but unusually firm. "I have no guilt, because I did nothing wrong." He answered without hesitation, seemingly without considering the other person's feelings at all.

This sentence once again hurt Jia Zhang severely. Her anger had reached its peak, but she could not find an outlet to vent. She stood there, watching Li Xiangqian leave, and the indescribable loss and unwillingness in her heart became stronger.

Li Xiangqian gradually disappeared from her sight, but she remained standing there, with complicated emotions surging in her heart. Although her mouth was still tightly closed, her eyes flashed with a complicated light, as if an indescribable feeling was quietly spreading.

Li Xiangqian had just taken a few steps when he heard familiar footsteps, which were quick and steady, with a certain power that could not be ignored. Although he did not turn around, he already knew who it was - it was the footsteps of that old man. He was not in a hurry to stop, but continued to move forward, but an unknown emotion emerged in his heart.

Soon, the steady footsteps behind him gradually approached, and finally stopped not far behind him. Li Xiangqian still did not turn around, but stared ahead, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if with a faint sneer.

"Uncle." Li Xiangqian's voice was a little indifferent, but not without being polite. Although he did not look at the uncle, his tone could hardly hide a hint of disdain, as if he had already anticipated what would happen next.

The old man stopped walking. Although his thin face showed some vicissitudes of life, his eyes were still sharp, as if he could see through everything. Li Xiangqian did not turn around, but the old man obviously did not mind. He spoke slowly, his voice was steady, with a kind of gentle but not negligible power: "Xiao Li, why don't we talk about it in a good way? Why do we have to walk so fast?"

Li Xiangqian raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally turned around to look at the old man, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He didn't quite understand the old man's tone at this time. Obviously, there was no substantial grudge between the two of them, so why did the old man suddenly come to "make peace" with him?

"Talk about peace?" Li Xiangqian chuckled, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. "Master, what do you mean by that?"

The old man took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about how to start. He said slowly: "I know you are a smart person and you can see the situation clearly. I don't want to drag on the matter between us any longer." He paused, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "Since you understand the current situation, why don't we all relax and let it go, so as not to hurt the harmony."

Li Xiangqian smiled coldly, his eyes revealing a playful look. He looked at the old man, and was actually a little surprised. The old man's behavior did not surprise him, but rather made him look a little bored. Because from the beginning, Li Xiangqian knew that no matter how kindly the old man spoke, in fact, deep down in his heart he still wanted to use some means to make him "change his mind."

"Uncle." Li Xiangqian's tone became light, but with a hint of determination that could not be ignored. "You also know that I am not the kind of person who compromises easily. Your words make me a little curious. Do you think I will change my mind just because of your few soft words?" He stood still, looking directly at the uncle with sharp eyes, "I am not someone who is easily influenced."

An imperceptible sigh flashed across the old man's eyes, and he slowly said, "I know you are not someone who compromises easily. But if we don't handle some things carefully, no one can predict the consequences." He paused for a moment, as if looking for the right words, "You don't want to get involved too much, but some things, when they really happen, it may be too late to solve them."

Li Xiangqian's heart was slightly shaken, the old man's words seemed a little unusual. He looked at the old man steadily, and many thoughts emerged in his mind. The old man meant that since he could easily avoid it now, would the situation become unmanageable in the future? This meaning made Li Xiangqian involuntarily ponder for a moment.

He was silent for a moment, then sneered, "Master, I know exactly what you're worried about." He looked directly into the master's eyes, and his tone became more serious, "But I don't believe that the consequences you mentioned are really that serious."

The old man sighed, his face slightly solemn, "Sometimes, young people always can't see clearly what's in front of them. You don't care about these things, but have you ever thought about what kind of thoughts some people have behind them?" He paused, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered: "I advise you to think about it more, don't miss out on the really important things because of your momentary persistence."
