Chapter 2289 - 864: What People Cultivate Is That One Breath

’Perfect Bald’ gave a strange smile: "Did you forget the traits of our family?

Can you guess how Hard Wind, someone who studied advertising marketing, managed to sneak into our family and even reached a management position?"

He spread his hands: "Think about it, how a girl who studied civil engineering managed to complete her studies, graduate from Academy Star smoothly, while still maintaining her work as a part-time model... that takes a strong will.

When Hard Wind’s studio first started, Cunlü was still working part-time.

That meant being a model outside while sweating profusely at the construction site.

Don’t look at me like that, do you really think Hard Wind tolerated Cunlü just because he felt guilty?

You’re thinking too much.

He got his chance to open this studio because he won the advertising newcomer award before graduating.

If he hadn’t seized that opportunity to start the studio, it would have taken him at least ten years to fulfill his dream.

And that’s the best case scenario.

These two were really gritting their teeth and pushing through at the beginning.

Cunlü suffered physically, but Hard Wind truly endured the hardship.

Coming from an ordinary family, he depended entirely on his talents to reach that position, ha~ all temptations were laced with poison, and everyone wanted to plot against him.

Every contract had to be scrutinized... To be honest, here, that cursed contract that ruined countless lives was considered crude amidst those people’s produced documents.

Hard Wind managed to get through those scumbags, his resolve is incredibly firm.

He truly loves Cunlü, hoping his beloved girl can live as she wishes... even when Cunlü farts, he would praise it as being fragrant without changing his expression.

Now, the couple’s reckless and joyful attitude towards life was their reward after enduring the initial period.

But, Old Dog, do you think these two would allow themselves to be humiliated and oppressed by that brat?"

’Perfect Bald’ sneered: "Does he really think Cunlü can’t wield a knife anymore?"

’Snow Cloud Peak’ pondered for a moment: "True, even though others are muddying the waters, they definitely don’t dare to show their faces.

Especially since Young Master is showing such toughness, making it clear he’s ready to crush whoever comes.

Those people will just try their best to erase any traces of their actions.

As long as Cunlü and her team can withstand the initial suppression... there shouldn’t be anyone who can strike afterwards.

However, Hard Wind’s company isn’t particularly small anymore, the opposition shouldn’t just offer heavy blows without some sweetening, right?"

"Cunlü truly cherishes her daughter." ’Perfect Bald’ narrowed his eyes slightly, "Her achievements today were gained solely through enduring hardship since childhood, she certainly doesn’t want her child to also suffer like that.

Her daughter is reportedly very artistically talented and plays the piano exceptionally well.

The Elder said, Cunlü is really heartbroken.

So, the benefits that are so near, within reach, she had to grit her teeth and refuse, watching helplessly as a big pit might be dug ahead on her daughter’s path... indeed, it’s agonizing."

Having children himself, ’Perfect Bald’ resonated and said: "Not to mention Cunlü might hesitate and waver, even I, if faced with such a situation... selling out a friend like you, who’s merely a dog-meat friend, one might be tempted."

’Snow Cloud Peak’ rolled his eyes calmly.

But he actually wasn’t entirely unprepared... from the start, ’Cunlü’ and ’Hard Wind’ were under his observation.

Knowing that someone wanted to target him, Snow Old Dog, who was already skilled in dealing with such incidents, promptly deployed his informants with the task of monitoring the pillars within the Proud Sky Alliance.

Especially those who usually flaunt their status but suddenly went silent, hiding during this surprise attack situation.

It’s one thing for ’Hard Wind’, but did ’Cunlü’ actually choose to hide as well?

This girl is definitely the type that’s willing to die standing rather than live crawling... what’s the point of hiding?

In the game, a glorious death is better than being the last to hide, drawing people’s attention and admiration.

And ’Cunlü’ has always been someone who loves basking in the public eye, a good actress.

Though it can be explained as her wanting adequate time offline to take care of her child, a doubt is still a doubt.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ just didn’t want to bring this matter up with ’Perfect Bald’.

How to put it?

Although their relationship has evolved into friendship amidst the years of mind games, this bit of friendship is fragile and thin.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ doesn’t believe he can make ’Perfect Bald’, an obliging guy, choose to help him.

Even if, due to this incident, ’Perfect Bald’ and those Black Rose guys finally have a complete fallout with ’Cunlü’ and ’Hard Wind’, on the surface, they would still appear harmonious.

Letting that couple leave the game clean and innocent though with empty sleeves.

Thankfully, even if they don’t care about his ’Snow Cloud Peak’ feelings, that couple has still stuck to their principles.

As for hesitations and vacillations... that’s the most beautiful glow of humanity.

Pressure and enticement attack simultaneously... what’s sacrificed is merely someone known in the virtual world... most importantly, it was originally benefits that the couple has long yearned for.

Although ’Perfect Bald’ spoke ambiguously, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ clearly understood what it meant.

Coming from an ordinary family background, ’Cunlü’ and ’Hard Wind’, even with their hard work and talents reaching such an enviable status today... running a small company, living without worries, need only to fret over their children’s future—is already someone many envy... But, for them to contact those masters in the art world, it’s basically impossible.

Even if they sacrificed half their family wealth, just to meet the master once... But, talented kids are really quite numerous.

Who would truly be willing to let their child gamble one in ten thousand?

And the number of sacrifices ’Cunlü’ made to provide the best for her daughter, such things, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ has heard over these years.

To, under such temptation, still decide to reveal everything, hinting that she’s going to strike back... Just like ’Perfect Bald’ said, does such a woman need others to worry if she can withstand it?

"If you need help, please feel free to call me." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ smiled lightly, "I’d be very willing to go all out."

’Perfect Bald’ pursed his lips: "Cunlü isn’t stupid, she directly went to find Elder, isn’t she just looking for someone to back her up!

She’s not afraid of much else, just those people being completely shameless.

In business methods, even if Hard Wind handles it with difficulty, it shouldn’t be a landslide defeat.

But if they were to change to certain... huh~

At this moment, only Elder can stop everything in time.

Anyway, just treat it as a real-name report."

’Snow Cloud Peak’ gave a bitter smile... although he has left the army for a long time, he still feels a bit uneasy towards certain supervisory figures.

No matter what, he did truly infringe on military discipline.

Though there were reasons for his actions and those people’s attitudes were as gentle as possible... but the questions that must be accounted for, he still has to explain it!

Thus, although ’Old Age Striking King’ is a good friend, her husband, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ absolutely doesn’t want to meet.

Like ’Young Master’, kind of people who dare to stab that guy’s heart under the guise of being young and ignorant... hey~ if that brat’s father knew, he would whip him!

Only ’Old Age Striking King’, who always gives this lively, cute yet sincere kid a break, let that brat avoid real misfortune.

Don’t be fooled by ’Old Age Striking King’s foul temper and fiery personality, but... she is indeed a good person.

Kind to friends, fierce to enemies, tolerant and loving to children, principled yet loving... such a person, even if outwardly prickly, is still, white sandalwood.

He shook his head and finally only gently advised: "As long as you all are aware in your hearts.

However, one must still be careful.

If in need seek assistance, this is the entire Proud Sky Alliance’s matter, shouldn’t just leave it all to them because they can handle it.

Including Young Master there... all..."

’Perfect Bald’ looked a bit awkward.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ swiftly changed his words: "Even if she wants to personally choke someone to death... consideration must be given, letting those who need to know what’s happening know.

Especially Young Master, this time, those people getting mixed in, definitely has something to do with him.

That kid’s family, it’s just a collection of a few galleries, some private museums... huh~ plus an auction house that sells off ancestral possessions to gain fame!

I don’t think with his skills, it could be so easy to present a piano master as bait.

The real powers in their family might be there.

Huh~ before the future develops, it can be replaced at any time."

’Perfect Bald’ understood ’Snow Cloud Peak’s meaning... the unattainable for ’Cunlü’ and ’Hard Wind’, yet is easily accessible by ’Young Master’.

This time, no matter what, it’s the disaster drawn in by ’Young Master’, even ’Snow Cloud Peak’ presumably contemplating how to compensate the couple.

But he simply smiled: "Old Dog, you know, sometimes, certain things aren’t naturally righteous just because they should be.

Aside from those... perhaps, no, there will always be those preserving their dignity.

That’s not ignorance of kindness.

But rather like Cunlü living upright, the biggest fear is... relying on others for her future.

For this, she guards her bottom line.

Then, how would she be willing to bow down to those... things... because of this!"

’Snow Cloud Peak’ sighed.

’Perfect Bald’s words resonate with him.

Sometimes, people need to preserve that pride.

He nodded: "Anyway, I will always be ready..."

"Eh?" Sitting on the throne on Cloud Platform, rapidly swiping through files in the tablet, ’Young Master’ suddenly froze.

"What’s the matter?" The secretary, also holding her tablet, was distributing files that ’Young Master’ had already reviewed.
