Chapter 1,713 Ben, Let’s Start Over!

Marshall fell into a long silence.

"So...Marshall, don't get involved in this kind of thing again. If you are really misunderstood, even if you are safe and sound, others..."

"Not everyone follows the rules like me. I believe you should know very well what they will do for their own benefit."

He looked at Marshall, who was sitting in front of the bar without saying a word, with a forlorn back.

Li Zitao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Enjoy your vacation after retirement, Marshall. You shouldn't worry about these things anymore, and you shouldn't be taken advantage of."

Holding the cup in his hand tightly, Marshall's face looked gloomy and scary.

After hearing what Li Zitao said, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

More importantly, this information should have been told to him before coming.

However, Eisenhower said nothing.

This means that, just as Li Zitao said, he was being used.

I have been hunting geese all my life, and I almost got pecked in the eyes by geese when I was old.

How ridiculous!

"Mr. Marshall, why are you looking for something?" Mary asked curiously when she saw her husband.

"Nothing, just some trivial matters...I'm old after all!" Li Zitao sighed.

If I were ten years younger...

wrong.

If he was still serving as the Minister of Defense, who would dare to take advantage of him like this?

So, when we grow old, we have to admit defeat, take care of ourselves, immerse ourselves in the memories and glory of the past, and be respected and praised by others, isn’t it good?

Why do they have to run out and abuse their former glory and respect? Don't they know that these things are already decaying like themselves?

Everything is just as fragile as a false castle in the air.

"——Stop telling these lies, there is nothing more to say between us." In the distance, Marshall and Eisenhower quarreled.

Afterwards, Marshall waved his hands and left the banquet, making Li Zitao chuckle to himself, "Old fox." ’

You don't need to ask to know that he did it on purpose.

The old man wanted to show that he had nothing to do with this matter and that he was completely expected.

I'm afraid that when he goes back, he will take his family to Hawaii for a long and leisurely vacation, which is a good thing for him.

After working hard for most of my life, I am about to be buried. If I don’t enjoy myself in time, I really have no chance.

"Annie." Calling Annie to his side, Li Zitao leaned over and whispered, "Tell Marshall that he can stay in the villa in Hawaii for as long as he wants."

"I understand." Annie turned and left.

"Charlie, look over there." Mary next to him touched him with her arm and pointed in the direction of the main entrance of the banquet hall.

Wearing a bright yellow evening dress and her hair in a high bun, the elegant and noble woman was standing there, looking around, seemingly looking for something.

It's just that this person shouldn't be here.

"Why is she here?" Li Zitao frowned and snapped his fingers.

"Sir." Dan immediately appeared beside him, bowed and waited for instructions.

"Go find Ben. Someone is looking for him at the door." Li Zitao pointed in the direction of the door, with some gossip in his mind.

‘Did she and Ben rekindle their old relationship? ’

At this time, Ben was chatting and laughing with his old friends at the think tank. He drank a lot of wine, which made him talkative.

I usually live alone, with no one around me, making me look lonely.

Therefore, it was very happy for Ben to be able to drink and chat with his old friends at this time.

But this happiness was soon interrupted. Dan appeared beside him and said softly: "Itzkic, someone is looking for you at the door."

"Who is it?" Ben laughed and turned around, his smile instantly solidified.

At the same time, Joanna, who was standing at the door and looking around, also saw him, and her eyes met with a pleasant, elegant and gentle smile.

"What are you doing here?" Ben asked angrily after pulling Joanna to an uninhabited corner.

"Why can't I come?" Joanna asked; "You are the father of Andini and Rodidi, and we were once husband and wife."

"That was once, it's all over." Ben couldn't help but raise his voice angrily, "You have re-established a family, don't talk about us anymore, there is no us."

"Really?" Joanna's tone was a little low, and she said disappointedly: "I just want to come back and have a look...Actually, I plan to come back and live again."

"Aren't you living a good life in London?" Seeing her fragile look, Ben couldn't bear to blame her anymore.

In fact, he has completely let go of the past and let it all go.

If the situation were different and he saw Joanna again, he would be able to calmly smile and ask: 'How are you doing? ’

But not today. This is the annual meeting of Club No. 22, one of the most important social occasions every year, and it is held at the boss's home.

If they had not divorced, Joanna would certainly be qualified to appear here as a female companion, but this is already a thing of the past.

"I miss you, Ben." Joanna suddenly raised her head and looked at him softly and said.

The tenderness and the twinkling light in his eyes made Ben almost fall into the tender memories of the past.

They were so happy at that time, why did they come to this point.

Reason gradually gained the upper hand, and Ben shook his head and said, "No, we're done. Tell us the purpose of your coming!"

Feeling his indifference, Joanna asked with reluctance in her eyes: "You already have another woman and have forgotten our past, right?"

"You're married." Ben emphasized coldly.

"But I'm divorced." Joanna said hurriedly, holding his hand and saying sincerely; "Ben, I'm free. We can start over and try again."

Ben was shocked at first, then relieved, and finally felt ridiculous.

Shaking her hand away, Ben smiled and said, "I said, everything is over without us."

"If you feel unhappy, you should find someone else and pursue happiness again. I will bless you."

"The children all want us to get back together, do you really want to be so heartless?" Joanna felt unbelievable.

The humiliation in her heart was burning like fire. Where had the wooden figure who obeyed her in the past gone? Why could he face herself so calmly?

No, she doesn't believe it.

He must be pretending, he deliberately pretended to be calm and indifferent, just because of the man's boring self-esteem, he must still care about himself.

Otherwise, why else would he never have bigamy again in these years.

Holding his neck tenderly, Joanna tapped her feet and exhaled: "My dear, let's start over. I know this is what you want too..."

"Let go." Ben suddenly slapped her hand open and looked at her with a cold gaze that made people tremble.

"If you still want my respect, Joanna, don't do this again." Ben glanced at her one last time and threatened: "Otherwise, I will let the children come back, but there will never be a place for you here again. .”
