Chapter 572: Chapter 572: If I Asked for Lai Shengxia’s Life, Would You Give It to Me?
Tang Li shook her head, “Remembering the past, to me, is more like a warning, cautioning me not to make the same mistakes again.”
——Instead of seeking to piece together the broken mirror.
“You are not choosing Lai Shengxia again, not because you found you no longer love her. On the contrary, your love for her is Still the same. The reason you chose me, is only to correct the mistakes of that past life.”
In her past life, Tang Li and Han Jifeng were married for many years. Even though they never consummated their marriage, they slept side by side for three or four years, so she knew somewhat about Han Jifeng’s character.
He was obsessive by nature. Once he realized he had made a mistake, he would try every means to correct it.
If, in his previous life, he found out that Lai Shengxia did something unforgivable, now that he had a chance to start over, Han Jifeng would certainly try to avoid it. He wouldn’t let himself fall into the same predicament again.
As for Tang Li, she was part of his correction process.
What Han Jifeng was doing now was like setting up a row of dominoes. If arranged properly, just tipping the first domino would cause a chain reaction, making the others fall in turn. As one of those dominoes, due to Tang Li’s non-cooperation, the row of dominoes was halted halfway and stuck there.
If he felt sorry for her, he could compensate her in other ways, or, in this life, stay far away from her and no longer disturb her life.
However, what Han Jifeng was preparing to do, was to marry her again.
In the past life, Lai Shengxia schemed her and Han Jifeng’s marriage. Eventually, she got what she wanted, which also led to Han Jifeng’s infidelity within the marriage. The misfortunes that she later faced were all directly or indirectly caused by the two of them. When Han Jifeng realized that everything he had done for Lai Shengxia was in vain, she became the vessel for him to alleviate his guilt and rectify his mistakes.
“Marriage is like a bowl; once broken, it can never be restored to its original state. Even if glued back together, the cracks will not disappear. If you try to use it again, you have to be extremely careful, or you might cut yourself.”
Tang Li spoke slowly, “I would throw a broken bowl straight into the trash can, not hide and glue it back together. Once broken, it’s broken; any repair will be fragile. Instead of hurting each other, it’s better to let go on time. This is something I didn’t see through before, but actually, it’s clear with just a thought.”
Han Jifeng suddenly changed the subject: “I can make sure that Lai Wenyan will not become a Councilman.”
“…” Tang Li looked straight at him.
“And Tianyi Group.”
The look Han Jifeng cast on her face was deep, with a mix of emotions: “You don’t like Ouyang Qian. Give me at most two years, and I will have Tianyi delisted from New York.”
Tang Li couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.
If Han Jifeng had married Lai Shengxia in his past life, then he certainly knew a lot about the Lai Family. With Han Jifeng’s cunning and resourcefulness today, getting Lai Wenyan ousted from the council wouldn’t be difficult. As for Tianyi Group, in S country, whether it’s a private or state-owned enterprise, they’re all under the control of government agencies. It wouldn’t be impossible to find an opportunity to sabotage.
“What about Lai Shengxia?” Tang Li asked.
She curved her lips into a smile: “If I want Lai Shengxia’s life, would you give it to me?”
Han Jifeng didn’t reply right away.
“That’s true, ‘A day as a couple means a hundred days of grace.'” Tang Li nodded, “After all, you genuinely loved each other. How could you bear to harm her?”
“I’ll send her abroad, to make sure she never comes back.”
This answer brought a smirk to Tang Li’s face: “It seems, after all, one has to take matters into their own hands to truly have plenty.”
Having said that, she turned to leave.
In the next moment, her arm was seized.
Han Jifeng was holding Tang Li’s slender arm, looking down at her, his gaze becoming even more distant: “As long as you’re willing, in this life, I won’t let you get hurt again.”
