Chapter 185 Those who have been eliminated do not deserve forgiveness
The man standing in front of him was wearing a leather suit that was inconsistent with his status as the eldest son of the Fu family. He stood in front of Jin Wu with a pale and haggard face.
It was different from the way he used to look down on her with his arrogant eyes.
Now the way he looked at her was like seeing the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and his bloodshot eyes revealed an unprecedented light of cautious desire to approach her.
Just like the way Jin Wu looked at him back then.
"This time I really know I was wrong, Wuwu. I really know I was extremely wrong. Everything that happened before was my fault."
Jian Jinwu didn't reach out to take the strawberry milk he handed over.
Fu Yuchen felt as if his chest had been stabbed again. The voice that came out of his throat was like blood foam with a hint of rust, and it was very hoarse. "I was too arrogant and proud before. I shouldn't have treated you so badly, shouldn't have kissed another woman, shouldn't have mocked your background, shouldn't have spoken so harshly that day, shouldn't have ignored your efforts for seventeen years, and shouldn't have trampled on your true love for me..."
"It's always been my fault, and I should be the one to say sorry."
"I'm sorry, Jinwu, it's all my fault... I was wrong, I was wrong..."
Fu Yuchen was standing in the bright sun wearing a heavy leather suit. His messy hair was soaked with sweat and was sticky on his forehead.
Due to lack of sleep, his face became increasingly disheveled and broken. His eyes, which used to look down from above, seemed to have lost all their pride. Now they drooped in a humble and absent-minded manner, looking extremely pitiful.
This period of time.
He was exhausted by his father's disappointed beatings, his mother's desperate cries in her wheelchair, and the sarcasm from his other brothers.
Every time this happened, Fu Yuchen would begin to miss the kindness Jin Wu had shown him in the past.
I miss how every time she would take care of his wounds immediately after he was beaten by his father, and would apply medicine to him gently and carefully.
I miss how every time she knew he was in a bad mood, she would tell him those childish jokes to cheer him up.
Only in front of Jin Wu can he breathe a sigh of relief in this cage-like home and find some freedom to relax.
But he had never cherished her before.
He also took all the kindness she showed him for granted, believing that she would never leave him and would always follow him.
That's why he has been able to trample on all her sincerity without fear over the years.
Until he began to sober up.
But the moon that once landed beside him had long since left him.
He had lost her with his own hands.
It was he who pushed her towards another man.
The huge regret was like a mountain that instantly bent Fu Yuchen's usually proud back, and his scarlet eyes were sore and hot.
He really regrets it.
He regretted not realizing his mistake sooner and recognizing his feelings for Imagiri.
As time went by, this regret not only did not disappear at all, but instead weighed heavier on my heart.
It was so heavy that he wished he had a time machine that could send him back to the past.
On the night of celebrating his birthday when he returns home, he will definitely not be provoked by others and impulsively say hurtful words to Jin Wu and kiss another woman.
Duan Shiyan would never have the chance to take advantage of his mistakes and successfully pick his moon!
Now, taking advantage of the fact that he was not in the country on a business trip, Fu Yuchen picked up a backpack on the ground as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw.
While hurriedly and anxiously unzipping her clothes, she was eager to save the moon in front of her as if offering her true heart, "Wuwu, look, this is the pen you gave me. I have been using it until now. Even though I accidentally dropped it on the ground last time and it can no longer write, I still kept it carefully as if it were a treasure.
Do you remember this promotional photo we took of us at school?"
It was as if he wanted to find clues that he liked her from these things that he once disliked, so that Jin Wu would soften her heart and give him another chance.
Fu Yuchen clutched the photo in his hand, which had turned yellow and had a few wrinkles on it from being pressed by something. His voice was hoarse, "Although I looked reluctant at the time, I was actually very happy to take a photo with you that day. Look, the corners of my mouth are still curled up!"
He was just about to point at himself in the photo to prove it to Imagiri.
As a result, the yellowed photo had not been carefully preserved before, so there was no way to see whether the corners of his mouth were curled up.
Even his own face was crossed by the wrinkles caused by the heavy object, and his entire face could not be seen clearly.
Fu Yuchen was stunned for a moment in embarrassment.
"That's not important, Jin Wu. I've prepared a lot of gifts for you. I carefully selected them for you. I used all my remaining money to buy you all kinds of gifts, including diamonds and jewelry..."
He hurriedly stuffed the photo back into his bag, then eagerly handed her the various priceless jewels. "I know you like the color blue, so I specially prepared a lot of jewelry with blue diamonds. Look at this pendant. I even had it made into the shape of a moon..."
Just as Fu Yuchen was speaking in an eager and flattering manner, he raised his head and looked at Jin Wu with hope.
But the next moment, the curve of his mouth suddenly stiffened and solidified.
During the whole process, Jin Wu just looked at him expressionlessly.
The cold eyes were as if he was looking at a stranger, or even as if he was looking at a patient who had escaped from the psychiatric department.
Fu Yuchen's eyes turned red, and his heart sank again.
He was not unfamiliar with Jin Wu's current cold look.
Because this was the look he had given her countless times in response to her gifts and her concern.
Now it was like a boomerang hitting him hard, making him feel the excruciating pain like a knife cutting his heart in an instant.
Fu Yuchen had difficulty breathing.
So this is the feeling that Jin Wu experienced before?
Is it really so painful?...
"I was wrong, Jinwu, I did something wrong."
Fu Yuchen hung his head dejectedly, his voice as hoarse as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper. He stood in front of him and begged like a child who had made a mistake, "I really know I did something wrong. Can you forgive me just once? If you don't like these jewels, I can find a way to buy you new ones.
Whatever Duan Shiyan can do, I can do as well as him!
As long as you give me a chance, I can definitely do it. Even if I can't do it now, I can learn. I can definitely -"
"Fu Yuchen."
Before he could finish, Jin Wu interrupted coldly, "Let me ask you a question."
Seeing that Jin Wu was finally willing to talk to him, Fu Yuchen thought he had finally succeeded in impressing her. His eyes lit up instantly, "Okay, go ahead."
Jin Wu's cold eyes met his ecstatic ones, "When I was unconscious with a high fever backstage in the school auditorium, was it you who braved the rain to take me to the hospital?"
I didn't expect her to ask about this suddenly.
Fu Yuchen's expression was subconsciously startled.
His throat slid open, his eyes dodging guiltily, "Of course it was me. I was the one who found you unconscious backstage, and then I braved the rain to take you..."
"You're lying!"
Just as he was still trying to argue, Jin Wu interrupted him again with a cold voice, "Auntie Ye, who runs the stationery store across from the school gate, clearly saw you taking a taxi from behind, so the person who carried me on his back and took me to the hospital that year was not you at all!"
The corners of her eyes were a little crimson because she missed the person who had truly shown kindness to her. "It's someone else, right?"
Fu Yuchen met Jin Wu's angry gaze, and a sudden surge of panic surged in his heart.
He never expected that Jinwu would actually know one of the truths of that year. The hand holding the bottle of strawberry milk became even more guilty and nervous.
Fu Yuchen's mind was in a mess.
I just felt like my soul was split in two at this moment.
Half of me was advising him to stop hiding it and just admit it.
The other half was screaming at him not to admit it, because once he admitted it, it would mean that there would be absolutely no possibility for him and Jinxiang to be together anymore.
Fu Yuchen wrung his hands together, but chose to continue hiding the truth. "Jin Wu, I've been with you for seventeen years, and you actually went to trust that stationery seller and didn't even trust me?"
"Aunt Ye has always been very kind to me, and she has no grudge against you. Why would she slander you?"
"On the contrary, you, who helped me before, still follow those who laughed at me, mocking me for being just a poor illegitimate daughter."
Jin Wu stared at Fu Yuchen with cold eyes, emphasizing each word, "It's as if the person who showed me kindness back then wasn't you at all."
These words were undoubtedly like a bolt of lightning that froze Fu Yuchen in place, his face turning pale again.
He swallowed again guiltily, "I..."
"And have you forgotten?"
Jin Wu glanced at the milk in Fu Yuchen's hand and said, "The strawberry milk I used to like to drink was never this brand."
What.....
Isn’t this the brand?!
Fu Yuchen's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"No, no, it's because the brand you want to drink is sold out."
He turned around hurriedly and said, "I'll go to another store and buy it for you."
"No."
Jin Xiang said calmly, "Even if you buy back the brand I like now, it won't be the same strawberry milk as before."
"Fu Yuchen, stop pretending to be affectionate."
Jin Wu's eyes were extremely cold. "You are only regretting pushing her away because the little follower who had followed you obediently for seventeen years suddenly left you and stopped being nice to you and caring about you. You are not used to this feeling.
"If I continue to chase after you and treat you sincerely, will you still look regretful and say that you did something wrong like you do now?"
Jin Wu looked at Fu Yuchen's increasingly pale face, as if he was looking at someone who had nothing to do with him. "No, you won't, because the person you really like has always been yourself. And my husband has already told you clearly at the public banquet that day that I have never liked you."
It was like a muffled thunder suddenly ringing in my ears.
Even though he had heard this sentence from another person, it still made Fu Yuchen's pupils shrink on the spot.
"Because I thought redemption was love, that's why I chased after you like a fool for so long. But in reality, I only have gratitude towards you, not any romantic feelings."
Jin Wu's eyes became even colder, "But I just realized now that it wasn't you who braved the rain to take me to the hospital. It was you who deceived me and made me think that it was you who showed me kindness at that time.
Now that the truth is out, the person who made me feel warm back then was not you from the beginning to the end, and even those gratitudes did not belong to you. "
"You have nothing, why should I give you a chance to start over?"
Another thunder suddenly exploded in my ears.
Fu Yuchen felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand again. The intense pain made it painful for him to even breathe.
“No…..No!!!”
The moon that once shone on him gently was right before his eyes. How could he watch her go further and further away without even a chance?
Fu Yuchen's eyes were red, as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw in vain. Regardless, he continued to deny it, "Yes, I admit that I didn't take you to the hospital that day, but that person left after throwing you in the hospital. I was the one who rushed to take care of you!"
"If that person really wanted to be responsible for you, why didn't he stay and take care of you? It was because he felt it was troublesome at the time, so he sent you to the hospital and left."
"I just didn't want you to be unhappy, so I kept it a secret."
Fu Yuchen clenched the strawberry milk in his hand, his scarlet eyes as if he was in a state of madness. "And Jin Wu, have you forgotten who knew you didn't do well in the exam and put a bottle of your favorite strawberry milk on your desk? That person was me!"
"Do you want to erase all the kindness I've shown you just because of this white lie you told me this time?"
"Jinwu, I'm not pretending to be affectionate. I really know I was wrong."
Fu Yuchen almost let go of all his pride and arrogance, and pleaded humbly in a hoarse voice, "Can you forgive me? I won't treat you coldly and violently like before. Jin Wu, please give me another chance to make up for the mistakes I made before, okay..."
"not good."
As soon as Fu Yuchen finished speaking, Jin Wu rejected him cleanly and neatly.
"Fu Yuchen, you're out."
"Those who are already out don't deserve to be forgiven."
"besides--"
Jin Wu glanced at him coldly, "I don't believe what you just said anymore."
Without paying any more attention to the broken expression on the man's face, Jin Wu turned around and walked quickly towards the hospital as soon as he finished speaking.
"Wait, Jinwu, don't go..."
Just as Fu Yuchen stretched out his hand to catch up.
The Duan family bodyguards who had been lying in ambush nearby immediately stepped forward to subdue him, and even picked up a rag to cover his mouth.
Those were the bodyguards Duan Shiyan had arranged in advance before he went on a business trip, just to prevent any ignorant people from harassing his wife like they were doing now.
Jin Wu did not even look back at the scene where Fu Yuchen was being escorted away like a prisoner.
She remembered the unnatural expression on Fu Yuchen's face when she told him that the strawberry milk she used to like to drink was not this brand, and she was startled.
A bold idea popped into my mind.
The strawberry milk placed on her desk that year might not have belonged to Fu Yuchen at all, but to someone else.
Could it be the same person who took her to the hospital in the rain?
