Bab 215: Chapter 215 Passing the Buck_1

Zhou Shuren set down his teacup, "To face mockery with calm composure, to quickly analyze the pros and cons, and to leverage the cause and effect behind it all in order to stir the waters without getting a single speck of mud on yourself—that is what it means to be truly accomplished."

Chang Lian, "....."

He felt he might never become accomplished in his lifetime!

Seeing that Chang Lian's anger had dissipated, Zhou Shuren smiled and asked, "Are you still angry?"

Chang Lian shook his head. There was nothing to be angry about if he followed his father's advice. If there was anything to be angry about, it was only that he couldn't keep himself calm, "But father, my engagement to Dong Chuchu is settled, yet the relatives from the Dong family don't even consider ours with respect—they forcibly bought prescription formulas."

Today had completely shattered his illusions, making him realize that his prideful capital was all imagined—a harsh reality.
