Chapter 174
Shi Ye paused as he was pulling the car door, curled his lips, and said sarcastically, "You're indeed mentally ill."
The psychological state of this kind of person is similar to an old psychological test, which says that an older sister and a younger sister attended a funeral together. The younger sister fell in love at first sight with a young man she met at the funeral, and after returning home, she stabbed her sister to death.
Ask, why.
Most people would answer with logic like, the young man is the sister's boyfriend, but only a few people with mental defects would answer -
Because my sister wanted to hold another funeral and see the young man again.
The underlying logic of this answer is that she regards human life as worthless and can kill her sister, with whom she has no conflict of interest, just because she needs a reason to see the young man again.
Zhao Zean has the same mentality. Because he doesn't want Jiang Zhinian to be with someone else, he uses extreme methods to destroy her. This is not love, but selfishness.
In the world of this kind of people, only their own feelings are the most important. If they want something, they must get it, no matter what means they use. As for other people, including their so-called sweethearts, their feelings are not important.
He doesn't care about anyone's feelings, whether it's painful or happy. In this world, he only loves himself.
…
The car slowly drove out of the basement. Shi Ye looked at Jiang Zhinian who was waiting on the side of the road and slowly smiled.
"Wang Bo."
"Hmm? What's up?"
"Has my father contacted you?"
Wang Bo suddenly clenched his hands on the steering wheel. After a long moment, he said helplessly, "How come I can't hide anything from you? Did you ask Hongsheng to hack into my computer?"
Shi Ye didn't respond to his joke, but simply asked, "What does he want from you?"
Yuan Miaomiao took Jiang Zhinian's arm and walked towards the car. Wang Bo couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so he simply said, "I'll forward the email to you tonight."
Jiang Zhinian opened the back seat and sat next to Shi Ye: "How about we go eat hot pot at noon?"
"Can."
…
A month later, Jiang Zhinian received a call from the dean's mother, saying that she had something to discuss with her and hoped she could come back.
Perhaps it was some strange premonition, Jiang Zhinian guessed something, and with the mentality of putting an end to this matter, she agreed.
On the weekend, Shi Ye accompanied her back to the welfare home. Sure enough, he saw Mrs. Sun, who had just finished her confinement, in the director's office. It was said that she had given birth to a healthy son. The son had been taken out of the incubator and officially discharged home.
When Mrs. Sun saw Jiang Zhinian, she had a calm smile on her face. There was no imagined scene of a mother and daughter who had been separated for many years hugging each other and crying or feeling guilty.
Jiang Zhinian thought about it, asked Shi Ye to go out for a walk, sat down opposite on the sofa, and smiled politely at Madam Sun.
Madam Sun spoke gracefully and gently, "I heard about the windmill incident after I was discharged from the hospital. I'm sorry I couldn't help."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of provoking the incident, Jiang Zhinian naturally did not rush to recognize him. He simply greeted him as a stranger who sponsored the welfare home: "Xiao Fengche has already received other funding. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Madam Sun lowered her head and took a sip of tea before continuing, "I heard that the first child you sponsored was born to an unmarried mother."
"Yes, she was deceived by a scumbag and gave birth to a child, but she was unable to raise the child. She wanted to abandon the child and run away, but I was nosy and persuaded her to stop."
Mrs. Sun's hand trembled slightly as she put down the teacup, but she didn't comment much. She just said "Oh" lightly, as if she was not surprised at all.
Jiang Zhinian smiled and said, "Thinking about it now, I shouldn't have stopped her."
Madam Sun looked at her, puzzled, "Why shouldn't you stop her? Is it because you think she's unworthy of being a mother for abandoning her daughter?"
"Of course she doesn't deserve it, but that's not the reason." Jiang Zhinian looked directly into Madam Sun's eyes. "I just think that she has her own life to live, and it's understandable that she's letting go of some baggage."
"You really think so?"
"Yes, but since you've decided to throw it away, you shouldn't think about getting it back."
Madam Sun seemed to understand something. She lowered her eyes, looked at the teacup in her hand, and said softly, "Maybe she knew she was not worthy enough to find it, so she has long since given up the thought of trying to get it back."
Jiang Zhinian laughed at himself: "That's good."
She stood up and looked at the window: "Sorry, my husband is still waiting for me outside. If everything is fine, I'll leave first."
Madam Sun glanced at her belly and suddenly said, "Perhaps the reason that girl chose to abandon the child was because she was truly desperate... After all, she was only 17 years old at the time..."
She did not have a good education. After she lost her child, she followed her fellow villagers on a dilapidated wooden boat to a foreign country as if they were fleeing. She washed dishes and was bullied. She had nothing except the contempt of people around her.
If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet her current husband, she might even have died in some corner of the world and never had the chance to see her daughter again.
"She possessed extraordinary beauty, but didn't know how to protect herself. When she finally realized it one day, it was too late."
She has been beautiful since she was a child and has countless suitors around her. Unfortunately, she was too young at that time, and her mind was full of love. She didn't understand what kind of top resources she possessed. Fortunately, she quickly came to her senses and made the right choice with all her might.
She raised her head, slightly raised her chin, and looked out the window with dignity. There sat Jiang Zhinian's husband, a handsome but poor student.
"What can he give you..."
Madam Sun looked back at her equally beautiful daughter and felt only regret. When Jiang Zhinian first became pregnant, she was busy taking care of the fetus. Due to a moment of negligence, she got married in a hurry and lost the opportunity to move up like Jiang Zhinian.
"One day, you will understand that love alone is nothing..."
Jiang Zhinian knew that what she was talking about was her own life experience, but she just didn't want to listen anymore.
Even if there are a million reasons, the damage has been done. There are millions of chasms between them that cannot be crossed, and no one can forgive.
Not to mention, she is now trying to take control of her own life, using her past experience of failure to deny everything.
"Mrs. Sun, congratulations on the birth of your baby boy." Jiang Zhinian suddenly stood up, turned around, turned the handle and left the room, putting an end to the matter.
She knew that the fate between Madam Sun and herself ended here, and it would be impossible for her to come to find her again, because she was just a dodder clinging to a tree. If she recognized Jiang Zhinian, she would undoubtedly destroy everything she had done in the past years with her own hands.
Look, today, in a closed space with only the two of them, she didn't even dare to admit her identity as a mother, for fear that once she said it, the secret would no longer be a secret.
Jiang Zhinian stood outside the door, sighed deeply, then smiled and walked towards where Shi Ye was.
