Chapter 1431: 968 Lucky

A thousand miles of solitary ride.

With warm wine, Hua Xiong was slain.

I’ve heard these stories almost all my life.

But the power of words has its limitations after all.

Only by experiencing it can one truly feel the surge of emotions brought by such an impact.

Jiang Chen realized the taste of wine on his tongue hadn’t yet dissipated.

"Where’s my brother?"

Before he could speak, Yuan Run absentmindedly asked.

This tigress, who has always called him by name, finally relented and called him brother at this moment.

Unfortunately, Yuan Bingshan wasn’t present to hear it.

This unique pair of siblings likely didn’t care much for such details.

Not only Yuan Run was curious, but everyone present should also be curious.

"He left."

Tanki Liuli said calmly, showing no sign of joy or sorrow.

However, it was evident that the earlier confrontation must have had a result, no matter how surprisingly brief, otherwise, given the tiger idiot’s nature, he would never let it go.

Jiang Chen felt completely at ease and gained further recognition of the Taoist nun sister’s strength.

The large tab for wine wasn’t wasted after all.

He could almost imagine the unknown scene of the confrontation just now.

That tiger idiot didn’t return, perhaps feeling humiliated or suffering a visible injury?

Yet since he could still move on his own, even if injured, it shouldn’t be serious.

How did he leave?

He limped away with a bucket overnight.

The first time he left defeated.

The second time he lost cleanly.

One wonders if he’ll seek a third attempt.

If there really is a next time, Jiang Chen would truly admire that tiger idiot’s face and perseverance.

"Miss Yuan Run, your iced jelly,"

The waiter brought in the takeout iced jelly.

The jelly arrived, but the person left.

Yuan Run returned to her senses, her eyes still filled with astonishment, glanced at Tanki Liuli who should be well-guarded by men, then took out her phone to make a call.

No doubt about it.

It must be to her brother.

"That Yuan Bingshan, leaving without a word, isn’t this wasting money."

No one answered, and Yuan Run put down the phone cursing.

Jiang Chen looked at the iced jelly, and with a casual smile, said: "No worries, we can pack it and take it back later."

"Hmph! I’m not taking it. I’ll go find him!"

Yuan Run, possibly growing angrier the more she thought about it, immediately got up, grabbed her bag, and left to settle things with her brother.

No one stopped her.

"After all, there’s a special sibling bond, Yuan Run seems to be harsh on Bingshan, but in truth, she cares for her brother deeply. I’ve always wanted a sister."

Cao Xiugo said with a smile, then looked at Tanki Liuli standing beside him, "Taoist Duanmu, there’s a seat available now."

Jiang Chen moved slightly inward.

Tanki Liuli sat down.

"Just in time, it’s like a late-night snack."

Boss Jiang wasn’t one to waste, he directly opened the iced jelly and placed it in front of Tanki Liuli, handing her utensils as well.

Such a harmonious "man plows, woman weaves" scene.

Song Chaoge smiled, seemingly touched by the scene, and remarked, "Brother Jiang, you are blessed."

Jiang Chen looked up.

"Mr. Song is teasing."

"I’m speaking the truth."

"To talk about being blessed, it’s you, Mr. Song, envied by 99.99% of the world from the moment of birth."

Song Chaoge’s smile remained unchanged, unhesitant, and generous, "There are two things in the world one cannot choose, birth and death."

Jiang Chen nodded, "That’s right, one can’t choose their birth, so I only envy Mr. Song’s background, not resent it."

"Brother Jiang envies me?"

Song Chaoge asked.

"To say I don’t would be a lie. I heard that Miss Cao was already running around Diaoyutai when she just started walking. At that time, I was probably still playing with mud."

"What’s the difference though."

Song Chaoge said, "Aren’t we all sitting together for a meal now, Brother Jiang?"

Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled, "It’s not the same."

He paused and said, "I was just lucky."

It wouldn’t be exaggerated to say.

If not for "luck."

No matter how hard he tried, he might never have had a chance to stand before people like Cao Jinse or even Song Chaoge.

Some inherent gaps can’t be bridged by later efforts.

"To be honest, Brother Jiang, I’ve never quite agreed with this notion of luck, just like at the gambling table, can you blame your wins or losses on luck? It’s merely an excuse."

Jiang Chen smiled, "I understand Mr. Song’s point and deeply agree. From a Daoist perspective, nothing in this world happens by chance, what you encounter, good or bad, is all due to predestined karma. Just like each person’s unique birth."

"Some come into this world with a high status, under family protection, able to command the wind or the rain. Some are born with a silver spoon in their mouth, like flowers in a greenhouse, living in a material fortress built by their parents, untouched by the harsh realities of life, worry-free their whole lives. While others have no external forces to rely on, they have to struggle to acquire their basic means of survival. And then there are those born at the very bottom of society, living in the shadows, hustling to get by."

Beside them, Tanki Liuli quietly continued eating the iced jelly.

"I believe the differences in starting points are a continuation from past lives, what goes around comes around. Some may not believe this because they don’t see it reflected in this life. For instance, Mr. Song, you might have been a great philanthropist in a past life, thus reaping rewards in this life, while mundane folks like us, likely did more harm in a previous life, so in order to secure a good start in the next life, we can only strive hard in this life."
