Hidden Beauty in the Dark: The CEO's Secret Lover

Chapter 237 Love Is Not Possession

The Jokhang Temple is located on the top of the mountain with deep mist. The Daxiong Hall is magnificent, surrounded by cigarettes, and the temples are antique and solemn.The apricot-yellow courtyard walls and the blue-gray hall ridge are all hidden in the pale green towering ancient trees, elegant and peaceful.Because it is a holy place for believers and Tibetans to go to the Buddha, there is an endless stream of worshipers who rush here every day. They put their hands together, raise their chests, foreheads, and heads, and then fall flat on the ground to worship piously.This happens every day, so that many places on the slate are sunken.

Su Weian rocked the wheelchair, walked gently through the gray stone slabs with vicissitudes of history, and entered the hall.A monk quickly greeted him, chanted Amitabha, and handed him incense candles for incense.

Su Weian worshiped the incense devoutly, clasped his hands together, and the half of his face covered by the mask was quiet and solemn.

After burning incense and donating money for sesame oil, he asked the monk, "Is Master Jing'an here?"

The monk said, "Master is meditating in the meditation room in the backyard."

Su Weian nodded, "Please inform me."

The monk was slightly puzzled, "You are?"

Su Weian said lightly, "Tell him, he will know who the young man he met on the plane three years ago."

"Okay." The monk clasped his hands together and left.

Soon he turned back: "Benefactor, Master is here to invite you."

Su Weian nodded, "Please show me the way."

Soon came to the backyard.One after another, the exquisite meditation rooms are surrounded by lush and towering ancient trees, revealing a belt of blue tiles and yellow walls, bathed in the rose red of the morning glow, and accompanied by the long bells in the temple, they look more and more refined, unlike anything in the world.

The monk knocked lightly on the door of one of the meditation rooms and reported softly: "Master, the benefactor has come."

A loud voice came from inside, "Please come in."

Su Weian thanked the monk, then rolled the wheelchair into the room.

A middle-aged monk in his forties was sitting cross-legged on the couch. When he saw him, he was obviously startled, and his voice was very surprised, "Are you Su benefactor?"

Su Weian smiled slightly, "It's been three years since we left, how is Master doing?"

In fact, it was really just a one-sided relationship with Master Jing'an.Three years ago, he had just returned to China. On the plane, he ran into Master Jing’an who had come back from Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand to participate in the international Buddhist culture and academic exchange. He chatted with him casually. Unexpectedly, when the monk saw his face, he sighed repeatedly and said his fate. He was far away, and he was warned that he should not return to China this time, otherwise, he would encounter the greatest calamity in his life.At that time, he didn't take it seriously, only felt that the monk was talking nonsense, so he ignored him.He was originally from a wealthy family, and he developed an arrogant and conceited temperament since he was a child. Although he was not supercilious, he was full of self-satisfaction. In addition, he returned from studying in Paris with such a lofty and romantic nature in his bones. He didn't believe it at all. God and Buddha, I don't believe in the so-called catastrophe and disaster that the monk said.When I got off the plane, I quickly forgot about it.

However, three years later, when he was wandering dazedly in the heavy rain after going through a whole body of hardships, he suddenly thought of such an opportunity, and thought of the monk who explained his life in one word.All the nonsense he thought in the past has come true one by one now, and he finally believes that the catastrophe that Master Jing An said is the catastrophe of love.In the end, he still couldn't make it through.

When Master Jing An heard his voice, the scene on the plane that year appeared in his mind, and he vaguely saw the face of the handsome and vigorous rich man three years ago.Looking carefully at the person in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh: "I'm fine, but the benefactor doesn't seem to be living well."

The hostility and unwillingness hidden in his eyes, even though it was hidden deeply, he could still see it at a glance.Presumably, he has answered his calamity.

Su Weian smiled slightly, and there was an indescribable bitterness in the smile, "The master made a prophecy back then, and Wei'an came here today to dispel doubts."

Master Jing An set out the tea set, "Why don't you have a cup of tea with me first?"

Su Weian nodded, "Okay."

The two sat opposite each other.Master Jing An made him a cup of tea, "Taste how it tastes."

Su Weian picked up the tea bowl and stared at the tender green tea leaves stretching gently and soothingly in the snow-white tea bowl. Pieces of plump green tea leaves were light and agile. His heart seemed to have returned to nature, fresh, quiet, curling, like In the vague tea fragrance, there is no trace of impurity and impetuousness.

He took a sip, and tasted a bitter taste on the tip of his tongue. He couldn't help frowning, and raised his head, "Master, do you like old tea?"

"That's right." Master Jing'an nodded, "This is the old Biluochun. I like to drink old tea, and I like to drink the tea after it has been aged. Do you know why?"

Su Weian shook her head, not understanding.In fact, he is not particular about tea, but he prefers to drink new tea, because new tea is fragrant, and the curled leaves are like new buds, and the fragrance is particularly overwhelming.And the old tea was too bitter, he was not used to drinking it.

Master Jing'an smiled and said: "Old tea is bitter, why? Because the old tea has the taste of time infiltrated into it, and the faint old fragrance, after the precipitation of four seasons, has a special taste. New tea is just that floating on the surface. The layer is gorgeous, and the fragrance is too stimulating, so it is easy to confuse people."

Every word is pearls, every sentence is full of philosophy.Su Weian sighed, "As expected of a master."

Master Jing'an smiled, disapproving, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and said lightly: "Drinking this kind of old tea is also very particular. You have to drink this tea slowly, and you have to drink it for the third or fourth cup before you can taste it. Taste. This is the taste of time, the taste of time! Love, too."

Su Weian was in a daze.He suddenly remembered what Zhang Ailing said: "Life is like drinking tea. The first taste is as bitter as coptis, the second is as sweet as honey, and the third is as light as a breeze." He picked up the tea bowl and drank the first tea. The first mouth, a touch of bitterness, the second mouth, a touch of sweetness, the third mouth, a touch of fragrance.Sure enough!
He seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand anything.He looked at Master Jing'an and was startled: "Master, why did you see that I came here for love?"

Master Jing'an smiled faintly, "Three years ago, I told you that when you returned to China at that time, you would encounter the greatest catastrophe in your life. However, I didn't tell you clearly that it was a catastrophe of love. You didn't take it seriously at the time. Now, you You should have tasted the pain of love, but you are still not reconciled to the demons. You have lost your way and don't know where you are going, so you come to me for nothing more than to seek peace of mind. What I said is yes or no ?”

Wei An was silent, and said after a while, "I beg Master to show you the way."

Master Jing'an saw his confusion, sighed, and suddenly changed the subject, "Let me tell you a story."

Wei'an listened attentively.

The master said, "Once upon a time, there was an ordinary boy who fell in love with a beautiful girl from a wealthy family. The girl was moved by his persistent pursuit and passionate romance, and resolutely eloped with him despite the opposition of her family. The two were together for two years. The girl was born with a golden key in her mouth, and she was used to living a life of rich clothes and good food since she was a child, but the boy's family is very poor, and he has no great ability himself, so he can't give the girl the life she wants. Gradually, the girl feels resentful , Slowly regretting the original choice. So, life is no longer smooth, but full of quarrels, friction and endless accusations, suspicions. Finally, the two hearts are getting farther and farther, and the girl falls in love with someone else. The man is very Rich and handsome. The girl broke up with the boy without hesitation. The boy was very desperate. He tried every means to keep him, but in the end, he could only watch the girl get into the man's luxury car without hesitation. The nostalgic left. The boy was drunk and impulsive, and went to find the man with a knife in his arms."

"The man was stabbed and seriously injured by him, and the boy went to jail because of this. He sat in prison for several years, and the girl never came to see him. The boy was very sad and disappointed. He couldn't figure out how the love he once had Will it turn into yesterday's yellow flowers in a blink of an eye, leaving no trace? How can a woman be so cruel? He hurt someone and went to jail for loving her. Obsession supported him to get through Difficult days in prison. After he was released from prison, he tried his best to get the latest news from the girl. He wanted to ask her why in person."

"At that time, the girl was married to that man and gave birth to a pair of lovely twins. The boy became more and more unbalanced and unwilling. He followed them every day, peeped into their lives, and even took advantage of her taking the child When he went to the supermarket, he stole her pair of children. Then, he hid in the dark, watched the family panic and admired their heartbroken appearance, and felt great pleasure in his heart. The girl couldn't bear the children The shock of missing, falling ill, and blaming myself for not taking good care of the child every day. But the man never blamed her. He watched him spare no effort to find the child, and watched him take care of her meticulously. He cared, and seeing the girl getting more and more ill day by day, he finally couldn't bear the touch in his heart and the condemnation of his conscience, so he quietly sent the child back. Heartbroken and heartbroken. However, when he saw the girl’s illness getting better day by day because of the child’s return, he felt that he had done the right thing. So he let go completely and left quietly. The one he loves is fulfilled, and so is the fulfillment. Own."

After Master Jing'an finished telling the story, the meditation room was silent for a long time.

After a long time, Su Weian said bitterly, "This is your own story, Master?"

"Yes." Master Jing'an did not shy away from it. After many years, he had already seen it and let go of his obsession.Take a step back and see the sky.Therefore, when I talked about that past event again, I no longer had to worry about it, but instead had a kind of calmness after letting go.

Holding the teacup in his hand, he said calmly, "I used to think that to love someone is to love without reservation, to be together in life, and to be together in death. As long as she is willing, I will take her to the ends of the earth, Hell and heaven, we are inseparable in life and death. But later, I finally understood that love is not possession. She is no longer in her heart. Why do I have to tie her to me? Rather than being a pair of resentful couples, changing from a lover to an enemy, it is better to let go , give her the life she wants. In this way, she can still remember the good times I used to be. The fate is like this, we are all involuntary, I can give her happiness, and so can others. So as long as she can live, as long as she is happy Yes, it doesn't matter whether I gave her happiness or not. But I am not the only one who can give her happiness in this world. So, I let go. And I found that after letting go completely, It wasn't as painful as I imagined, but it was a relief like unloading a heavy burden. So, I'm glad I made the choice."

Su Weian was stunned.These words were too shocking for him, and he couldn't digest them for a while.

The master raised his eyes as deep as an ancient well to look at him, and said meaningfully, "This is my story. I have realized it. Have you realized it?"

Su Weian was stunned, and the hand holding the tea bowl trembled slightly.

After a long time, I closed my eyes tiredly, and said in a low voice, "Let go, is it really happier than being persistent?"

And can he really be willing?
……

Jinbi clubhouse.

Ji Weiran and Su Weian sat opposite each other.The two men used to be proud and arrogant dragons among men, but now, one is humbled and peaceful because of love, while the other is deeply mired in love and cannot extricate himself.One is still noble and handsome and elegant, while the other is disfigured, and there is no turning back.

A touch of bitterness flashed across Su Weian's heart.At this moment, he couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't had his disfigured face and his legs broken back then, would he be able to do it all over again today?
By lowering his head to drink coffee, he concealed the gloom that flashed in his eyes.

"A master told me that love is not possession." There was an inexplicable smile on his lips, "Ji Weiran, if one day, Jian Qingyin fell in love with someone else, what would you do?"
