She Lives without Regret in This Life

The people who were caught up in excitement suddenly calmed down.

Indeed! They all have homes in Country M, and there are some things here that cannot be given up. Especially since many of the younger generation were born in Country M, grew up there, and study and work there.

”Who told you we’ve given up on Country M? What it was before, it will remain in the future. Not only will we not give up, but we will continue to develop.”

”It’s really too far away.”

”Don’t worry, believe me, future transportation will be primarily by airplane. It won’t take more than twenty-four hours to get from Country M to the mainland. Moreover, the economy of the next thirty years will be global. The Feng Family’s business is already beginning to take shape, but it’s far from enough. Our vision must be broader, our thinking must be more expansive, and we must dare to imagine and to act. Decades from now, the world’s economic center might not be centered on Country M anymore.”

Sheng Ning paused, then said with an impassioned tone: ”It’s our motherland.”

The meeting ended, Sheng Ning stayed alone in the study, curling herself up entirely on the sofa, staring blankly. Outside the study door, Feng Zhenzhen and Housekeeper Xing stood on each side, sighing deeply.

”I’ll go in and check on her!”

”Don’t go in. She wants to be alone, just give her some space.”

”But she didn’t even have lunch, and it’s almost dark.” Feng Zhenzhen was somewhat worried. The more she interacted with Sheng Ning, the harder it became to dislike her.

She finally understood why her grandfather would give her up and choose Sheng Ning.

Comparisons can be harsh; comparing people can be deadly.

She admitted defeat willingly.

Her grandfather had a grand vision, but Sheng Ning’s vision and her words today even made her feel passionate.

”It’s fine! In the past, Sir used to be like this often.” Housekeeper Xing smiled wryly; everyone thought Sir was born cold-blooded and cruel, cunning and vicious. But no one is born that way. At the beginning, being forced to do things against one’s conscience also brings pain, confusion, and being overwhelmed with guilt.

”Given time, she’ll get used to it.”

Feng Zhenzhen pulled up the corners of her mouth, coldly saying: ”I don’t think the Family Head did anything wrong. I agree wholeheartedly. If it were me, I would’ve just killed them all, and that would be better.”

”You...” Housekeeper Xing didn’t know what to say. Lady Zhenzhen’s transformation from innocent and naive to her current state was seamless, as she had been through so much hardship that her moral views had long differed from ordinary people.

But the Family Head is just an ordinary person.

As they worried, a tall figure approached quickly. Wearing a well-tailored rescue suit, this unfamiliar yet familiar style drew the attention of countless people along the way.

Today, Xu Qigang went to the Pentagon in Country M, representing the rescue comrades, hence he was wearing a rescue uniform.

”Xu Zongdui.”

”Where is Sheng Ning?” Xu Qigang’s brows were furrowed, clearly indicating a bad mood.

”In the study.”

”Thank you!” He nodded, and pushed open the study door to go in.

Housekeeper Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief, ”The Family Head’s husband is here; we don’t need to worry anymore. Let’s go!”

”Okay!” Feng Zhenzhen kept secretly glancing in the direction Xu Qigang came from, looking for a full minute but still didn’t see that person.

They used to appear together; why didn’t he come today?

The study’s lighting was a bit dim, with only a warm night light on. After Xu Qigang entered, his sharp gaze quickly scanned the room, finally spotting Sheng Ning curled up on the sofa behind a mountain of documents.
