Chapter 269 Some are confessing to themselves, some are redeeming themselves.
“There’s no affection left between us.” Shen Qingshu’s voice remained calm: “Whether I forgive him or not makes no difference to me. If he’s alive, the children have a father, which is a complete life for them. If he’s dead, the children will have some regrets, but they will eventually grow up and understand that death is something everyone has to face.”
"Is your unwillingness to forgive him because of what happened with Zhou Yuchu?" Song Lanyin asked anxiously. "Actually, Siyan wasn't that good to Zhou Yuchu. His later actions towards Zhou Yuchu were just an act!"
Shen Qingshu turned her head to look out the window.
Song Lanyin continued, "Zhou Yu's return to the country was not accidental; it was Fu Siyan's plan..."
"Stop talking." Shen Qingshu interrupted Song Lanyin and turned to look directly at her. "I used to care about Zhou Yuchu because I loved Fu Siyan, but I don't love Fu Siyan anymore, so I don't care whether his relationship with Zhou Yuchu is real or not."
"But you got divorced because of her, didn't you?"
Shen Qingshu frowned. "Is that what he told you?"
Song Lanyin shook her head, "Actually, he rarely talks to us about you anymore. What he says most is that we shouldn't bother you. It was my own idea to come see you today, so please don't misunderstand him..."
“Song Lanyin,” Shen Qingshu interrupted her again, “you investigated me?”
Song Lanyin was taken aback. "You, how did you know?"
"The way you look at me now is different than before." Shen Qingshu smiled faintly. "So you know about my seeing a psychologist?"
Song Lanyin: "..."
Are you pitying me?
"Well, that's not how it is." Song Lanyin scratched her forehead awkwardly. "It's just that I feel that you and Fu Siyan have both had a tough time. You both had bad experiences in your original families. Seeing your experiences, I suddenly felt that being an orphan is pretty good too. My brother and I met in an orphanage. We are like wild siblings. Although we are not related by blood, we are the most trusted and closest family to each other!"
“The pain inflicted by one’s family of origin takes a lifetime to heal.” Shen Qingshu said calmly. “If such healing requires another person to achieve it, then I don’t think it can be considered healing. I think what I need is self-salvation, and Fu Siyan should do the same.”
Shen Qingshu ultimately did not agree to Song Lanyin's request to persuade Fu Siyan.
Before leaving, Song Lanyin asked her again, "If Fu Siyan were to die like this, would you feel regret?"
Shen Qingshu looked at her and answered honestly, "I will regret it."
Song Lanyin looked at her, feeling uneasy. "Then why don't you try to persuade him?"
“You know better than I do that Fu Siyan doesn’t want my advice.”
Shen Qingshu looked into Song Lanyin's eyes, her voice soft, drifting into the summer breeze.
She said, "What Fu Siyan needs is a version of me that is still willing to turn back, but I have already gone too far."
That day, the sky was very blue, and the sunlight was dazzling.
Shen Qingshu's calm eyes were deeply imprinted in Song Lanyin's mind.
She thought she had done something really stupid today.
She almost used moral blackmail on a woman who had finally learned to save herself and find her own peace of mind.
Fortunately, the woman ultimately turned away resolutely and was not affected by her.
At that moment, Song Lanyin was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
I feel sorry for Fu Siyan's current miserable state, and I also lament Shen Qingshu's current indifference.
Faced with life and death, some people repent for themselves, while others seek self-redemption.
Who is right and who is wrong? Who can really say for sure?
At that moment, Song Lanyin felt that love was really hurtful, and she thought that she would never fall in love with anyone in her life.
It's best never to fall in love.
…
On the way back, Wen Jingxi asked Shen Qingshu, "Did Song Lanyin give you any trouble?"
"No." Shen Qingshu smiled faintly. "Actually, she's a pretty good person."
"She's not bad?" Wen Jingxi glanced at her while driving. "Ah Shu, I suggest you download an anti-bombing app."
Shen Qingshu was amused by him again, "Why are you so hostile towards her?"
"She's bullying you!"
"That was all acting."
"Acting?" Wen Jingxi scoffed. "Even if it's acting, I hate it!"
"Xiao Wen, don't be like this. She's an orphan. All those things before were her collaboration with Fu Siyan."
"Even so..." Wen Jingxi's face darkened even more as she recalled the ambiguous scenes between her and Zhou Baiting.
However, his upbringing speaks for itself.
Even if he didn't approve of Song Lanyin's behavior of using her body to complete the mission, he wouldn't easily make a judgment.
After all, they're not even friends; talking about them behind their backs is petty.
…
Back in Yun Gui, Shao Qing had just brought Xiao Nian'an and Xiao Anning back, and Zhang Yun was with them.
Fu Siyan has already paid Zhang Yun's salary for the next ten years; a ten-year contract has been signed.
When Zhang Yun saw Shen Qingshu and Wen Jingxi return, he greeted them politely and respectfully, then opened the trunk of the Maybach and took out bag after bag of items.
All of these were bought by Fu Siyan for his two children.
Xiao Nian'an's luggage accounted for the majority of the luggage.
Starting today, Xiao Nian'an has officially moved in.
Having not seen each other for a week, the two children ran over to Shen Qingshu and acted like spoiled children.
"Mommy~!"
"Mother!"
Shen Qingshu knelt down and hugged and kissed the two children repeatedly.
Coming home from work and seeing my two adorable little ones instantly heals all my fatigue.
Wen Jingxi coughed from the side, "Sigh, all alone, no one cares!"
Xiao Anning was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and quickly reached out her hands, "Godfather, hug me~!"
Wen Jingxi immediately stepped forward and picked up the little girl, "You little ingrate, now that you have a biological father, you don't like your godfather anymore?"
"No way!" Xiao Anning kissed Wen Jingxi on the cheek. "Godfather will always be Xiao Anning's favorite godfather~ Xiao Anning only has one father, but also only one godfather! So godfather is one of a kind to Xiao Anning!"
Wen Jingxi thought to himself, "That works too. His status is much better than that of Jin Que, who is his uncle."
"Hmph, you're such a smooth talker!" Wen Jingxi tapped her little nose. "But because you're so cute, your godfather will let you lie to him!"
Xiao Anning smiled happily; she felt a great sense of accomplishment every time she made someone happy!
Xiao Nian'an walked over and reached out to tug at Wen Jingxi's sleeve.
Wen Jingxi crouched down and looked at Xiao Nian'an, "What's wrong?"
Little Nian'an looked serious and said, "Uncle, hug me."
Wen Jingxi was stunned for a moment.
What's wrong with this kid today? Why is he actually being so friendly with him?
Wen Jingxi was puzzled, but this child rarely took the initiative to interact with others, so he couldn't let the child down.
He wrapped his other arm around Xiao Nian'an's leg, holding one child in each arm as he stood up. "Call me godfather, and I'll protect you from now on!"
Xiao Nian'an blinked, and after a moment, he earnestly called out, "Godfather."
"Hey!" Wen Jingxi was delighted. "Good girl, wait a minute, godfather will find a red envelope bag and give you a big red envelope later!"
When Xiao Anning turned one month old, Wen Jingxi gave her a large red envelope.
Since Xiao Nian'an now calls him godfather, this red envelope still needs to be given.
Wen Jingxi was delighted by the two little ones as soon as he got home, and carried them into the house.
Zhang Yun was moving things back and forth when his wife came out to help.
In the courtyard, Shen Qingshu looked at Shao Qing and said, "Assistant Shao, thank you for your hard work."
“Miss Shen, this is what I should do.” Shao Qing looked at her, hesitant to speak.
