Splendid in bag

Hughes' expression and tone were quite natural, as if he really didn't know who Fan Yanjie was.

Lewis didn't say any more, poured a glass of wine on his own, and drank it slowly.

Although Lewis didn't speak, his expression was obvious, that he was drinking.

While swaying the wine in his glass, Hughes looked at the people under the lamp, smiled slightly for a while, and said, "Do you know where the words 'repaying grievances with virtue' come from?"

Lewis twitched his lips slightly when he heard this: "I know, it's "The Analects of Confucius."

"Then do you know what the whole sentence is?"

Lewis also said eloquently: "Or say: 'How to repay grievances with virtue?' Confucius said: 'How to repay virtue? Repay grievances with straightness, and repay virtue with virtue.' It means, someone asked Confucius, how about repaying grievances with virtue?" Confucius replied , if you give kindness to your enemy, what will you do to repay your benefactor? So Confucius advocated 'Repay grievances with straightness, repay virtue with kindness'. Is this what you mean?"

"That's what it means." Hughes nodded, "Do you agree with Confucius, brother?"

Lewis was silent for a while, he felt the weight in Hughes' tone.

Hughes' words have always carried weight.

Lewis suddenly felt a little bit unwilling, so he smiled lightly and responded: "Of course. What Confucius said is very wise. Otherwise, how could "The Analects" be passed down through the ages? The so-called "repaying grievances directly" means Treat the person you resent with justice. The so-called 'reporting grievances directly' is not 'retaliation with an eye'. For example, when you were young at school, if a student bullied the weak, you could report it and punish him according to the school rules, but you should not hit him with a brick after class. "

"Oh, so Confucius was a sage," Hughes said. "I'm the type who throws bricks at people."

Lewis was speechless for a moment.

Hughes took a sip of his wine and said with a smile, "Actually, I'm glad you're willing to talk to me about this."

Lewis looked surprised: "Really?"

"Of course, you never talk to me about your thoughts." Hughes replied, "I'm glad you brought it up too. A senior bullied you when you were young, do you remember?"

Lewis also suddenly remembered, perhaps because of this experience, Lewis would use this as an example.

"I remember..." Lewis slowly recalled, and said, "In elementary school, I was very small and was bullied by senior seniors. However, I did not choose to swallow my anger, but reported it to the class counselor. Class counselor After the officials found out, they punished the senior and asked him to stand for punishment. After that, he never came to bully me again."

"He was punished by the teacher..." Liu Xiusi said, "I resent you very much in my heart. I blocked you when get out of class was over, and squatted behind the stone pile of grass with a fountain at the door, you know?"

Lewis opened his eyes: "Is what you said true?"

"Really. I saw it with my own eyes. He still has the steel pipe ready in his hand," Hughes tapped the lacquered glass tabletop, making a crisp sound, "Talking to his little follower, he said he wanted to knock Blow your head off, but I hit his first."

"What?!" Lewis almost cried out.

Hughes stood up and patted Lewis on the shoulder: "This is the way this world is."

Lewis' heart was churning like a storm.

He never knew the other side of things was like this.

He thought he had reported to the teacher, so he solved the trouble.

This matter is solved like this...

What about the rest?

Lewis suddenly felt warm and suddenly cold.

As if feeling Lewis' uneasiness, Hughes pressed Lewis's stiff shoulders and said with a smile, "I lied to you. How could I do such a thing?"

"Really?" Lewis asked slowly.

Liu Xiusi's hand was still on Lewis' shoulder, the strength was neither light nor heavy, but it was enough to make Lewis feel the pressure.

"Of course." Hughes replied, "You are very pitiful to Fan Yanjie, aren't you?"

"Him?" Lewis didn't expect Husken to mention the name directly, and he was taken aback before nodding, "I think even if he doesn't do anything, he will be very unlucky."

Hughes said: "Okay, then I will do nothing as you wish."

Lewis was a little surprised: "Really?"

"Of course." Hughes said, "Fan Yanjie didn't offend me. He offended you. If you are a gentleman and 'repay your grievances straight', why should I be a villain?"

When Lewis heard the words "being a villain in vain", he immediately said, "That's not what I meant. I appreciate your concern."

"Okay, Xiao Yi." Hughes pinched Lewis' shoulder, "It's late now, go back and rest. Don't worry about those indifferent things and indifferent people."

Lewis suddenly felt a chill.

indifferent people...

Yes, no matter to him or his elder brother, Fan Yanjie is a very indifferent existence.

Lewis himself almost killed Fan Yanjie without realizing it.

Lewis seems to have done nothing but deprived Fan Yanjie of many resources from the brand.Lewis did nothing, but Fan Yanjie was deeply involved in official complaints, unable to get out...almost committed suicide.

After realizing this, Lewis felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to his forehead.

For Hughes, this matter is not so complicated.

As the saying goes, "raise your hands high".

For Hughes, this matter was indeed as simple as raising his hand.

Yang Olive helped raise money and lent it to Fan Yanjie to rescue him.

Fan Yanjie wept bitterly, and promised Yang Olive that he would change his mind.

Yang Olive patted Fan Yanjie's shoulder, and said, "Oh, you mean it's better if you really turn your back on it! Next time something happens, I won't save you!"

Fan Yanjie nodded: "Of course, of course...you are my great benefactor, why don't you listen to me?"

Yang Olive helped Fan Yanjie settle, and then sent another message to Lewis, saying that he sent Fan Yanjie out of the hospital.

Lewis saw the message, was silent for a while, and replied, "Come out for a drink?"

They still made an appointment at the bar where they met last time.

This time Lewis didn't wear a suit and was more casual. He wore a knitted sweater with black and white keyboard pattern and a pair of calfskin casual shoes.Seeing Lewis dressed like this, Yang Olive said, "Today is another handsome look."

Lewis smiled when he heard the words: "You are so handsome."

Yang Olive smiled and said, "To each other."

Lewis paused, and only said, "Speaking of which, how is Fan Yanjie?"

"Okay, he died once now, and he has figured it out a lot. He won't come to trouble you again." Yang Olive said, "Just pretend he doesn't exist."

Lewis smiled wryly and said to the bartender, "Give me a glass of whiskey without ice."

Yang Olive let out a "wow", looked at his watch, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Are you all right? Do you drink so much in broad daylight?"

"It's nothing." Lewis smiled and said, "Just a drink."

Yang Olive looked at Lewis and said, "What's wrong? Is there something you can't think of?"

"Hmm..." Lewis touched the cold wine glass, and replied after a long while, "In fact, I don't have any malice towards Fan Yanjie..."

Seeing Lewis's sad face, Yang Olive nodded quickly, and said in a strong tone: "I know! You are actually very good! Last time I told you those things in the hospital, I really didn't mean that you meant anything malicious. Ah. I wouldn't tell you this if I thought you were malicious! You know what I mean?"

"I understand." Lewis sighed deeply, "But even though I didn't mean to, I still made his business fail."

"How could this be your fault?" Yang Olive said, "You know, Fan Yanjie and I are friends, and I would help him if he did so many wrong things. But in this matter, I am very fair. Say, it's really not your fault. You didn't do anything."

Lewis was silent for a while, and then said: "I have such influence and status today, and it has nothing to do with my strength."

"That's right," Yang Olive said, "How many people want to be your father's son? You did what so many people wanted to do but couldn't, which proves that you are capable."

Lewis couldn't help laughing when he heard this sentence: "Is this considered strength?"

"Of course, luck is also a part of strength." Yang Olive said with a smile, "Oh, you are so rich and unhappy, so how can a poor person like me have the nerve to be happy?"
