Chapter 274: The Weak Dwell on Dilemmas, the Strong Resolve Mistakes
"Mr. Lin, I am extremely sorry about the matter with Tian Jinzhu," after much hesitation, Jia Liang finally expressed his stance. Lin Chuxia nodded, "I know."
"No, Mr. Lin, it was my negligence. I didn’t think things through and was used by others. I let Mr. Lin down. I really didn’t expect him to deceive me. When Houzi and I retired, he wasn’t with us. I never complained; after all, with our backgrounds, quitting that life, we might not even have been able to scrape a living. This time when he came to find me, I was actually happy, but I didn’t expect..."
There’s nothing more painful than being betrayed by a trusted brother.
Moreover, this incident also nearly implicated the company.
"Actually, I’ve had my suspicions about Tian Jinzhu for a while now. Knowing what kind of person he is, we’ve known him long enough to understand. He’s different from Houzi, never listens to anyone. When Houzi and I retired, he looked down on us. Houzi kindly tried to persuade him and even got scolded by him. Even so, when he came to me, I still chose to trust him, because he was a brother, and I wanted to see him change."
Jia Liang never thought of himself as a kind-hearted person, but towards his brothers, he thought highly of his influence—even felt he could reform them.
He was really foolish.
Lin Chuxia patted his shoulder, "This isn’t your fault, but you shouldn’t hold grudges without learning from them. Take this as a lesson, and it also helped you see a person clearly."
"Mr. Lin, rest assured, next time I will not act so impulsively out of loyalty. I will work hard and make the bun shop in the city as popular as ours in Ancheng County."
