Disliked by everyone? She is clearly the most beloved one in the rich family!

Yu Zhi's brows were furrowed, his hands were clenched tightly, and his knuckles turned slightly white from the force.

His face was full of entanglement and struggle, as if his heart was being swept by a silent storm.

Meng Yingnian turned his head and looked at Yu Zhi gently.

He patted Yu Zhi's shoulder gently, his movements gentle but powerful, as if to convey his determination to him.

His voice was low and warm, like a spring breeze blowing through Yu Zhi's heart.

"Yu Zhi, change is not a bad thing. Life is a journey of constant change, and every change is an opportunity for growth."

"You have to understand that in many cases, the decisions we make may not be in the best interests of everyone. This is normal in life and does not mean that what we do is wrong."

After hearing what Meng Yingnian said, Yu Zhi looked up in confusion.

He knew what Meng Yingnian's values were.

After all, the reason why the Meng Group has been able to be passed down and developed for so long is because of a sincere and genuine heart.

But when he faced such a dilemma.

Meng Yingnian chose to comfort him in this way and told him that any choice is correct.

Meng Yingnian sat next to Yu Zhi and gently pulled him into his arms.

"In fact, I have also done things that were not right, just like this cross-sea bridge project."

"The last time we stopped the cross-sea bridge project, we were worried that it would affect our interests."

"But honey, do you know? If this project is suspended, many workers will not receive their wages. They have no jobs but are bound by contracts, which actually causes misfortune for many families."

"But I have to do this because I am also responsible for my employees."

"This is actually for the benefit of some people, forcing others to give up their own happiness."

"In fact, there is no perfect solution in this world, and no one can be happy."

"Perhaps that's why we can only protect the people in front of us. I think by saying this, you might be able to untie the knot in your heart a little."

Meng Yingnian's words were like a ray of light, penetrating the darkness deep in Yu Zhi's heart.

Yu Zhi's thoughts were originally like a tangled mess, chaotic and disordered, but under Meng Yingnian's guidance, he felt a trace of clarity gradually emerging.

He raised his head and looked beyond the window frame into the distance.

The mountains in the distance appeared hazy and soft in the moonlight, as if telling him some profound philosophy.

There was confusion and thought in his eyes, and the inner struggle seemed to be temporarily calmed at this moment.

Meng Yingnian's comfort was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in Yu Zhi's heart.

He began to realize that what he had been struggling with might really be a wrong path that he should not have taken.

That unethical thought is like a bomb that could explode at any time.

It lurks in his heart, constantly threatening his sanity and conscience.

He knew very well that if he really allowed the psychologist to do what he wanted, the seeds of malice would take root and sprout in his hands.

Once you take that step, it will be irreversible and there will be no turning back.

By then, he would not only lose his inner peace, but also become the kind of person he once hated the most.

"But Ying Nian, what I'm doing now can indeed save the Feng family, but it will completely destroy a person. This is different from your approach."

Yu Zhi shook his head.

He knew that Meng Yingnian definitely didn't have any backup plan, and he couldn't just watch those innocent people suffer.

Even if the cross-sea bridge project is really stopped.

If those workers cannot get their wages, Meng Yingnian will find ways to give them money.

But Meng Yingnian did think about these things.

Because he couldn't bear to watch these people suffer.

So if conditions permit, Meng Yingnian will recruit them into his team.

Even if the money for the cross-sea bridge project cannot be compensated to them, their efforts over the past few months may be wasted.

But the project is there after all, and the government will definitely provide the funds at the right time.

Moreover, that family will also have to bear part of the risks and will never let these workers suffer any injustice.

Meng Yingnian had already thought about the subsequent development and operations.

"I just don't want you to feel so much pressure, because I know there is no better way now."

Thinking of this, Yu Zhi took a deep breath, as if to expel all the depression in his chest.

He turned his head and his eyes met Meng Yingnian's, with a bit more determination and relief in his eyes.

Although his voice was low, it revealed an unquestionable power.

"Thank you, Yingnian, but I think I understand."

Seeing Yu Zhi's expression, Meng Yingnian smiled slightly, with relief and encouragement in his smile.

He didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly, as if everything was self-explanatory.

The two of them sat there quietly, letting the moonlight shine on them, as if the whole world became peaceful and beautiful at this moment.

On the other side, the night fell like a thick piece of black satin, tightly wrapping Zhou Jun's room.

Inside the house, the dim light seemed to have been drained of its energy.

Only a few faint rays of light were cast in the small space, illuminating Zhou Jun's tired face.

He slumped wearily in a chair by the window, a half-burned cigarette between his fingers.

Sparks flickered in the smoke, just like his chaotic and confused state of mind at the moment.

The room was filled with the pungent smell of tobacco, which mingled with the night breeze coming in from the window.

Every breath is filled with depression and heaviness, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Fenghua stood at the other end of the room, and there seemed to be an invisible gap between her and Zhou Jun.

His hands were clenched into fists in anger, his knuckles turning white, and his arms were shaking slightly.

It looked like he would charge forward at any moment.

His eyes were like two sharp blades, piercing straight at Zhou Jun.

The anger and confusion burning in his eyes almost set the whole room on fire.

His breathing was rapid, each exhale carrying with it uncontrollable rage.

His chest was heaving violently, like a volcano about to erupt, his emotions already on the verge of exploding.

"Why on earth have you imprisoned me? You've locked me up. What are your intentions here? Who are you? Why do you keep appearing in my life?"

Fenghua felt like she was about to be shattered by the thoughts in her head.

He couldn't figure out these things, and he didn't know whether the man in front of him could give him a clear answer.

Fenghua felt as if a huge rock was suddenly thrown into her dull life, causing huge ripples.

He couldn't even overcome this sudden excitement.

He just wanted to escape as quickly as possible, but this man insisted on locking him up.

Just stay in this little room.

If she were alone, Fenghua would feel very happy, but now she had to look at this man in bewilderment.

"Do you feel that my existence is a constraint to you?"

Fenghua nodded.

"Of course, what else?"

The man in front of him destroyed his peaceful life.

Moreover, when Fenghua was by his side, she always felt an indescribable fear in her heart.

He didn't know what this fear was, but from an animal's instinctive point of view, it was definitely not a good thing.

Zhou Jun slowly raised his head, his movements were slow and heavy, as if a heavy burden was pressing on his neck.

His eyes met Fenghua's in the air, and in an instant, a trace of helplessness and pain flashed in his eyes.

Like a shooting star across the night sky, fleeting, yet so clear that it makes people's heart break.

He sighed slightly, and the sigh seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his soul, carrying endless sorrow.

His voice was low and hoarse, and every word seemed to be wrapped in sand and gravel, which was particularly harsh in the silent room.

"I'll take you back tomorrow."

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Fenghua's heart without any warning.

His expression froze instantly, and the original angry look receded like a tide, replaced by full surprise.

Then, irrepressible joy bloomed on his face like a spring flower.

His eyes suddenly lit up, like twinkling stars in the night sky, and the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.

The whole person seemed to be injected with new vitality, instantly breaking free from the tense state and becoming light and bright.

He could hardly believe his ears, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"Really? You're really willing to let me go?"

Zhou Jun looked at her smile that was as bright as the warm spring sun, but his heart felt as if it were pierced by thousands of needles at the same time, causing unbearable pain.

He knew very well that this smile was not because of him, but came from the joy of regaining his freedom.

His throat felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton, so dry that he couldn't make a sound.

He wanted to say something, but only a few hoarse sobs came out of his throat.

In the end, he just nodded slightly, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible, like the flapping of mosquito wings.

"Well, I'll arrange for someone to take you back tomorrow morning."

Fenghua's smile became brighter and brighter, as if to dispel all the gloom that had trapped her for the past few days.

The image of herself regaining her freedom already appeared in her mind, and her heart was filled with expectations and hopes.

She was so immersed in the joy of escaping that she didn't notice the deep bitterness and loss in Zhou Jun's eyes.

Zhou Jun lowered his head and took a deep puff of his cigarette mechanically.

Smoke slowly came out of his nose and mouth, shrouding his face in a haze.

It seems that this can help me get rid of the depression in my heart.

He knew in his heart that he would probably never be able to gain Fenghua's understanding and acceptance in his lifetime.

Those past entanglements, her vigilance and hatred, had long been like deep scars, firmly imprinted in her heart.

The divergent destinies between them are like a towering mountain, lying between the two of them, destined to be impossible to cross.

"Perhaps in this life, I will only receive her wary and hateful gaze."

Zhou Jun thought bitterly in his heart, and a self-deprecating smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He knew very well that he and Fenghua were destined not to be together.

Those invisible obstacles, like an impenetrable net, trapped him and made it impossible for him to escape.

Even though he had unspeakable affection for her in his heart, he could not change the inevitable outcome.

"But it doesn't matter anymore." Zhou Jun said to himself silently in his heart.

His gaze fell on Fenghua's face filled with joy again. Although his heart was full of regret, he also felt a sense of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

As long as she can be safe and happy, and no longer be burdened by those complicated bad things.

What are the sacrifices and regrets you have endured?

He slowly put out the cigarette in his hand, his movements gentle yet resolute.

He stood up, dragged his slightly heavy steps to the window, and stared quietly at the inky black night sky outside the window.

The night wind gently blew across his face, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not cool the bitterness as thick as ink in his heart.

He knew that after tomorrow, Fenghua would completely disappear from his life, like a bird escaping from a cage, never to return.

And he will face the loneliness and solitude alone in the long years to come.

"As long as she is well, that's enough."

Zhou Jun silently repeated these words in his heart. His back was stretched out in the dim light, making him look particularly lonely.

It's like a silent mountain, carrying endless pain and longing.

But it always stands firm, guarding the unreachable love and hope.
