Chen’er, the manner is not easy, is built on the peak not to be easier. Some many hero great expert, matchless hero, was implicated by the nearby person. These relatives, when you are down and out could not help your anything, on the date of your ascending, actually attached blood sucking like the leech. You more are good to them, is bigger to the trouble that oneself bring. You now expensive manner Lord, so long as you want, Su Family can the wealthy family world, extremely official. But this attracts is whose blood? Is your blood, is the blood of world person. What destroys is whose name? Is your name, is your lifetime dream! The matter of past years, you can let off do not raise, this was very good. However I cannot, because only by doing so, be able to let on you some burdens. I cannot achieve to help your anything, but I at least can also let some of your few burdens.” 听到苏沉的话,苏飞虎不屑道:“他们不喜欢又能如何？不就是想借着你的势,好飞黄腾达,狗仗人势吗？我偏就不如他们的愿。沉儿啊,为人不易,立于巅峰更不易。有多少豪杰大能,盖世英雄,都是被身边人拖累的。这些亲戚,在你穷困潦倒的时候帮不了你什么,在你腾达之日,却一个个如水蛭般附上来吸血。你对他们越好,给自己带来的麻烦就越大。你现在贵为人主,只要你愿意,苏家可以富家天下,位极人臣。可这吸的是谁的血？是你的血,是天下人的血。毁的是谁的名？是你的名,是你一生的梦想！当年之事,你可以放过不提,这很好。但是我不能,因为只有这样,才能让你身上少些负累。我做不到帮你什么,但我至少还能让你少些负担。” Su Chen looks at Su Feihu, in the eye socket contains the tears. 苏沉看着苏飞虎,眼眶中微含泪水。 Su Feihu truly cares his, because just truly cares about him, therefore does not hope that Su Family becomes his burden, therefore firm put forward such condition. 苏飞虎是真正关心他的,正因为真正关心他,所以不希望苏家成为他的累赘,所以才坚决的提出那样的条件。 Su Chen wants to say very much, can actually teach these matters that avoided Su Feihu saying through the strictness, but he also knows, this was almost impossible. 苏沉很想说,其实可以通过严加管教来避免苏飞虎说的那些事,但他也知道,这几乎是不可能的。 Rich for flower, authorization to use. 有钱是为了花,有权是为了用。 If rich does not spend to have the right not to use, that does ask for money to want the power also to have what significance? 若是有钱不花有权不用,那要钱要权又有何意义？ The Su Chen intention world, does not have time manages these people, even if Su Feihu, not necessarily can control-- he to manage this family/home to be too many year, knows the dispositions of these disciples. Gives them one to select the pole, they dare to hold the day a hole. 苏沉心怀天下,没功夫管这些人,就算是苏飞虎,也未必管得了——他管这个家太多年,太知道那些弟子们的心性。给他们一根挑杆,他们就敢把天都捅出个窟窿。 Said anything to manage strictly, the clean self-respect, all talks nonsense. 说什么严加管束,清洁自好,全是放屁。 Therefore, the best means are such as the present so. 所以,最好的办法便是如现在这般。 „Actually, calm and steady nothing else is not good. Station was high, the wind is big. No one knows when troubled arrives. Like the present, will at least not have any person to move the brain to us on, some people will not try to use us to cope with you, will not have any person of delusion to harm us, calm and steady security. Person life, chart isn't a peace and good health? Therefore, I like this, this is good. Is small as for these, has thought the life of top dog, oneself strives. Was fantasizing hugs the person of person thigh, does not know oneself tried hard, gets rid of nothing else to be a pity.” Su Feihu continues to advise. “其实,安安稳稳也没什么不好。站的高了,风就大。谁也不知道什么时候麻烦就到了。象现在这样,至少不会有什么人把脑筋动到我们身上,不会有人试图利用我们来对付你,也不会有什么人妄想害我们,安稳安全得很。人这一生,图的不就是个安康吗？所以,我喜欢这样,这样就挺好。至于那些小的,想过人上人的生活,就自己争取。幻想着抱人大腿的人,不知自己努力,抛弃了也没什么可惜的。”苏飞虎继续劝导。 Su Chen nods gently: „Uncle, since said, I was steadfast. Right, is he now what kind of?” 苏沉轻轻点头:“叔父既然这么说,我心里就踏实了。对了,他现在怎么样？” Su Feihu knows what he asked was Su Cheng’an. 苏飞虎知道他问的是苏成安。 Sighed, he said: „Heart tying difficult solution, is about unable to support.” 叹了口气,他说:“心结难解,快撑不住了。” ------------ ———————————— ps: ps: Micro blog: Fate -0 Sky City 微博:缘分-0的天空之城 Public number: Fate 0 公众号:缘分0 Trill number: tianmeng001 抖音号:tianmeng001
