Chapter 218 Repaying the Karma
"Yes, there's something I've been keeping from you. After the semester starts, I'll be going to work in the space city with my professor. I might come back once a year, or maybe once every four or five years."
I went to Sichuan to see you this time just to break up with you.
Xie Hui calmly narrated with his head down, but Shen Shuxin took a few steps back in astonishment, plopped down in a chair, and stared blankly at Xie Hui.
"Xie Hui, don't be like this. You clearly like Xin Xin very much. Talk to her nicely, don't say anything hurtful that will make her sad. If you regret it later, your godmother won't help you."
Jiang Ruzhen came to her senses and saw the two little people hurting each other like this, so she hurriedly tried to mediate.
Xie Hui looked up at Jiang Ruzhen, "Godmother, thank you. But I've already made up my mind."
"But in your current state, do you think the space city will still want you?" Shen Shuxin suddenly asked sarcastically.
"Yes, of course I want it! It's not like I've lost my mind. It's just one leg. Even if I'm in a wheelchair after amputation, it won't stop me from doing experiments and research!"
Xie Hui looked up and answered with a smile, but Shen Shuxin was so provoked by his calm and composed tone that she felt like she was going crazy.
She jumped to her feet and asked Xie Hui one last time, "Are you really sure you want to break up with me?"
Xie Hui smiled at Shen Shuxin and nodded, "Yes, I didn't know how to bring this up with you. Now that this has happened, Xinxin, let's stop here."
I won't be able to be with you anymore. I hope everything goes well for you, and that you have peace and joy!
Shen Shuxin sneered, suppressing all her pain, and asked, "If I break up with you, you'll agree to amputation, right?"
Xie Hui's smile froze, and he nodded blankly. "Yes."
"Okay, Xie Hui, I agree. Let's break up now, and from now on, may we each find our own happiness wherever we are."
Shen Shuxin took one last deep look at Xie Hui, then turned and left without looking back.
Jiang Ruzhen really wanted to slap Xie Hui across the face right then and there, but looking at Xie Hui's shoulders slumped down and his soulless body that seemed to have had all its energy drained away, she hesitated.
She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Xie Hui, you have disappointed me so much. I never thought that all men were the same, all selfish and cowardly."
To ease your own conscience, you're desperately pushing away such a wonderful lover. Let me tell you, you'll definitely regret it later.
Xie Hui's eyes were lifeless; he just stared blankly at the ceiling, motionless.
Jiang Ruzhen got angry at his dejected look. She got up and went outside to the nurses' station to complete the procedures for hiring a caregiver for Xie Hui.
She told them that Xie Hui's amputation surgery would have to wait, and that she would come back later after discussing it with Xie Hui's mother before making a decision.
Jiang Ruzhen went out to find Shen Shuxin, but saw her waiting at the bus stop to get on the bus back to school. She chased after her and grabbed her.
"Xin Xin, what are you thinking? You know Xie Hui's thoughts, right? He just doesn't want to drag you down with him."
Shen Shuxin nodded; there is no greater sorrow than a broken heart.
Her expression was neither sad nor happy at the moment. She said calmly, "Mom, let him be! You saw what happened just now. I was almost kneeling down and begging him."
I know he doesn't want to drag me down. But what hurts me is that he always puts his own feelings first and never considers my thoughts when something happens.
Such a selfish and self-serving man, such a psychologically fragile coward, would risk his life for the slightest setback, acting as if he were about to die.
I can't accept a lover like that. Mom! He's not good enough for me!!!
That's it then. From now on, let's pretend we never met.
After finishing her sentence, Shen Shuxin got into the car and left, leaving Jiang Ruzhen standing there thinking for a long time.
Yes, if two people truly love each other, shouldn't they discuss things together and respect each other's ideas when they encounter difficulties and obstacles?
Instead of stubbornly doing things that hurt your loved one under the guise of caring for them.
The deepest wound to a loved one is often inflicted by the person closest to them.
She didn't want to bring the two together anymore, so she did her best to repay the debt of karma, and that they would be even from now on.
After making her decision, Jiang Ruzhen returned to the hospital and found the hospital director, showing him her Ninth Bureau credentials and asking him to cooperate with her operation.
The hospital director naturally dared not refuse and gave the order to open an operating room for Jiang Ruzhen.
Xie Hui was wheeled into the operating room like a walking corpse. His legs were in excruciating pain, but he remained silent throughout.
When he saw Jiang Ruzhen come in, he assumed she was there to persuade him, so he spoke first.
"I'm sorry, godmother. It's all my fault. Xin Xin and I are not meant to be. You don't need to try to persuade me anymore."
Jiang Ruzhen sighed, "I'm not here to advise you, I just want to say something to you."
Every step of personal growth comes at a price; it could be tears, pain, the loss of a loved one, or even the loss of one's life.
I just hope you won't regret it later and that you'll live your life well...
Before Xie Hui could figure out what Jiang Ruzhen meant, he felt a wave of dizziness and fainted.
Jiang Ruzhen threw away the anesthetic in her hand, grabbed Xie Hui's arm and pulled him into the space, then threw him into the spirit spring pool before returning to the villa to rest.
After the person had soaked for half a day, she finally took him back to the operating room, still soaking wet.
Open the door and let the dean come in alone to examine Xie Hui's leg injury.
The dean stared in shock, speechless for a long time. He pointed to Xie Hui's leg, then to Jiang Ruzhen.
His mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Jiang Ruzhen crossed her arms and looked at him with icy eyes. "Our Ninth Bureau comrades are capable of more than just this. However, what we do involves top state secrets, so don't reveal a single word, otherwise..."
"I swear, I didn't see anything, and I won't say a word. Otherwise, may I die a horrible death!"
The dean was so frightened that he quickly raised his hand to swear, and only then did Jiang Ruzhen turn around and leave leisurely.
Instead of going home immediately, she took a taxi to a mysterious place.
As she got out of the taxi, the driver kindly asked, "Miss, this place is a bit remote, it's hard to hail a taxi. Would you like me to wait for you for a bit?"
Jiang Ruzhen smiled at him, "No need, thank you."
After saying that, Jiang Ruzhen walked into a grove of trees. There were people waiting for her in the grove, but they didn't say anything when they saw her.
Leading the way up the mountain, Jiang Ruzhen discovered that she was at a hot spring resort halfway up the mountain.
The tall lintel showed no signs of anything amiss, but as she passed through the gate and entered the courtyard, she felt as if her body had been instantly cleansed, refreshed and clean, with a warm current flowing through her entire body.
So comfortable!
Is this the legendary Special Operations Bureau No. 9?
The courtyard was filled with pavilions and towers, shrouded in mist, resembling the style of a celestial sect in a novel.
Is anyone there?
She didn't know when, but the person who had led the way disappeared, and she groped her way forward alone.
