Chapter 350: The Strange Three Star Holy Clan
"However, placing too much emphasis on family background can artificially create tragedy," Meng Chaoran spoke slowly, but each word was clear; this made Xie Danqiong feel understood and resonate with what he said.
"That's right." Xie Danqiong let out a long breath.
"In large families, marriages of their children are even more difficult. Finding someone with a matching background whom you also like is as hard as climbing to the sky. Therefore, the suffering of the children of big families is something ordinary people cannot see. They only see the glory of the young heirs, but they do not consider what these favored children must sacrifice, generation after generation, to maintain that glory..."
Meng Chaoran's voice was heavy and filled with melancholy.
Xie Danqiong sighed deeply; indeed, Meng Chaoran's words struck a chord with him.
"However, it also depends on the situation. If a family has a promising heir... then there's no need to sacrifice the happiness of the children..." Meng Chaoran smiled faintly: "Young Master Xie, be confident and content."
Xie Danqiong raised an eyebrow. Although this made him feel good, it carried deeper implications. How could he not understand?
"Moreover... even if judging people by their appearance, Young Master Xie..." Meng Chaoran suddenly emitted a sharp glare filled with confidence, looking down at Xie Danqiong: "Ten years on the east side of the river, ten years on the west side, don’t underestimate the youth in poverty."
His usually kind demeanor suddenly turned sharp, which was quite unexpected! It gave off an air of certainty.
"The matter regarding your younger sister and Tan Tan... perhaps we should put it on hold for now. Think it over..." Meng Chaoran said lightly: "Perhaps in the future, your Xie family will change their mind. Heh, the difference between seasoned veterans and young hotheads lies in the fact that... they won’t push things to the dead end. Leaving a path for retreat... is always necessary, regardless of when. What do you think, Young Master Xie?"
Xie Danqiong remained silent for a long time, then said: "As you wish."
No matter what the future held, he could not persuade his sister now. But once they parted, after returning home, his sister’s temper came and went quickly... perhaps she would forget in a couple of days.
Little did he know that Meng Chaoran's intention was to separate them as soon as possible and take Tan Tan back immediately!
Meng Chaoran had a feeling that Tan Tan was stirring something, and there was an undercurrent of danger nearby. If they continued to stay with these people, it might lead to a major incident!
"In that case, we shall take our leave." Meng Chaoran chuckled, cupping his hands in farewell and turning to leave without hesitation.
"Wait..." Rocky Luo was taken aback and hurriedly called out.
"You... are Chu Yang's sworn brother, right?" Meng Chaoran looked at Rocky Luo with warmth.
"Yes... Rocky Luo has met Senior." Rocky Luo realized that the person before him was Boss Chu’s master and dared not be disrespectful, hurriedly saluting.
"So you are the brother of my master... no wonder!" Tan Tan exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, when Chu Yang arrives in three days, we will seek you out." Meng Chaoran's voice was urgent: "However, I have important matters to attend to now, so I must take my leave."
"Of course, please go ahead, Senior." Rocky Luo scratched his head in confusion, not understanding why Meng Chaoran suddenly seemed so distant, but he still put on a smile.
"Tan Tan. Let’s go!" Meng Chaoran pulled Tan Tan and hurried away.
"Master... this..." Tan Tan was somewhat reluctant.
"Quickly!" Meng Chaoran snapped coldly, increasing his speed, avoiding the main road, and darting into a grove, quickly disappearing from sight.
Xie Danfeng stared blankly in the direction Tan Tan had left, tears suddenly filling her eyes, and a deep sense of loss arose within her.
He... just left like that?
When would she see him again?
"Younger sister..." Xie Danqiong came to her side, softly calling out.
