Wei Shaoqin looked at Su Mu’s pale face and really wanted to hug her, but he didn’t dare to touch her. He always felt that, after hearing the conversation between Qiao Yu and Ji Nanfeng, Su Mu was as fragile as a paper doll, that a re touch would make her vanish into smoke and disappear. He would rather she cry her heart out, rather she hysterically question Fu Shinian in the ward.
But she didn’t. Since hearing those words, she had maintained the sa position, tightly hugging herself, burying her head deep in the crook of her arm, almost to the point where even the rise and fall of her breathing was barely visible.
He was very worried, and also very angry, yet he didn’t know what he could do for Su Mu at this mont.
The mont she heard Qiao Yu and Ji Nanfeng’s voices, Su Mu had intended to leave, but before she could even get up, she heard words that baffled her, solving the puzzles she had been unable to figure out for the past two years. So that was why he still wouldn’t divorce her, even after his grandmother had a new kidney source.
It turned out, he had only seen her as a walking kidney source, always waiting to extract from her body whatever he needed and cared about when his grandmother needed it.
She once felt that Fu Shinian had never treated her like a wife, but she had never known that in his eyes, she wasn’t even regarded as a person; she was just soone with a valuable and hard-to-find kidney in her body, and that was the only reason he reluctantly kept her by his side, reluctantly sharing over two years of marriage with her.
Perhaps, even this attempt to reconcile was for his grandmother’s sake, after all, the grandmother had already encountered a dangerous situation before. But he hadn’t anticipated that she would get pregnant. Because of the pregnancy, she couldn’t be ready at any mont to donate a kidney to his grandmother, and so she lost her value.
Having lost her value, she also lost the right to stay by his side.
The child in her womb was perhaps just an excuse.
Those words he said to her about ’liking,’ ’future,’ ’children,’ ’ho,’ ’respect,’ were probably just because she still had value. That’s why he didn’t want children, and why he was so cold when she lost their first child.
The later desire was rely for his grandmother’s sake, because of his grandmother’s hopes, so her wishes didn’t matter at all.
In fact, why bother with the act? For two years, the grandmother had been so kind to her that she would have willingly stood out without hesitation if the grandmother had any need, without him saying a word.
In fact, why go through such elaborate pains? Just by him saying ’divorce,’ Su Mu would have agreed without any fuss or entanglent.
If Su Mu had felt so regret over the end of her marriage before, at this mont, she felt completely relieved. All those things she couldn’t let go of, couldn’t bear to lose, couldn’t forget, she had now completely cut away. Perhaps, this is the benefit of exposing lies.
It allows you to clearly recognize this world, see the truth in people’s hearts, and realize how significant you are to yourself, and how insignificant you are to others.
Su Mu made Wei Shaoqin feel helpless, as if she had fallen asleep. He wanted to call Jiang Bei, but he worried it might disturb Su Mu, so he could only send a WeChat ssage. Jiang Bei quickly replied:
I will be there soon.
Wei Shaoqin breathed a sigh of relief, at least he felt that Su Mu would sowhat take Jiang Bei’s words to heart.
Footsteps slowly ascended from downstairs, Wei Shaoqin moved closer to Su Mu, wanting to protect her, and not wanting her to be disturbed by others,
Wei Shaoqin hadn’t expected the person to co to be Wen Han.
Wen Han seed not at all surprised to see Su Mu and Wei Shaoqin here, as if he knew Su Mu was here all along. Wei Shaoqin didn’t know why Wen Han had co, but when he saw him walking straight toward Su Mu, he couldn’t help but intercept:
"She’s in a bad mood right now."
Wen Han looked at Wei Shaoqin and nodded:
"I know."
He had planned to take the service stairs down after finishing his conversation with Fu Shinian, but upon hearing Qiao Yu and Ji Nanfeng’s words, decided to avoid them for the ti being and instead took the elevator to check the surveillance footage. There, he unexpectedly discovered Su Mu and Wei Shaoqin in the service stairs. Undoubtedly, she must have heard Qiao Yu and Ji Nanfeng’s conversation clearly.
So, he ca.
Seeing that Wen Han wasn’t joking, Wei Shaoqin didn’t obstruct him any further. If anyone could snap Su Mu out of it at this mont, he would be grateful, no matter who it was.
Wen Han walked past Su Mu and stood silently for a few seconds before slowly taking a seat beside her. He didn’t imdiately start talking, but instead gazed slightly transfixed at the window in front of him. Just when Wei Shaoqin was beginning to doubt whether Wen Han had co to comfort Su Mu, Wen Han finally spoke softly:
"7 years ago, no, after the New Year, it should be 8 years ago now, on the night of August 14th, 8 years ago, I saved a high school student on Fuhua Road while I was out on an errand. I took her to a hospital and left her with the doctors, but due to the urgency of my duties, I had to leave before knowing if she was safe. Later, when I had dealt with my own matters, I rembered I hadn’t paid the dical fees for the girl, nor had I contacted her family. Fortunately, by the ti I got back to the hospital, so kind soul had already paid her surgery fee and arranged her hospital admission."
Su Mu reacted, slightly lifting her head.
"I inquired at the hospital later and found out that the girl almost missed her treatnt because she couldn’t pay the fees. For this, I’ve always wanted to apologize to the girl, but I didn’t expect that I would be returning to the troops for half a month. By the ti I returned, the girl had already been discharged, and I never saw her again. I always wondered if I might see her again, but so many years passed, and I thought it unlikely until last September when I t her again."
Su Mu looked at Wen Han with incredulous eyes, and Wen Han smiled slightly and turned his head to look at her:
"She ca to apply to be a tutor for Shaoyuan. Because I couldn’t believe it, I rudely asked for her identification card. When I saw the na on it was the sa as the one on the hospital record, I finally believed that indeed, I had t her again."
"Is... is it you?"
"It’s ." Wen Han extended his right hand toward her face: "Hello, little girl. I’m sorry, little girl."
When she first heard the conversation between Qiao Yu and Ji Nanfeng, Su Mu also felt it was sowhat unbelievable, to the point of refusal to believe. She didn’t want to believe that her life-saving benefactor of 7 years had been a mistake. Perhaps the misunderstanding was not as shocking as the ’walking kidney source,’ or perhaps she couldn’t accept so much at once, so subconsciously she didn’t want to think about it too much.
But what she didn’t want to, what she doubted, what she couldn’t believe, Wen Han told her all of it, so casually, so nonchalantly recounting the entire incident from that year, making her understand everything in an instant.
The person who had saved her back then wasn’t Fu Shinian... it was Wen Han.
