Chapter 180: Unfair
After a few seconds of hesitant thinking, Qiao Jin took a deep breath to calm his inner anxiety and conflict.
"I think I should go in and try to have a few words with her."
She replied softly.
After saying this, she straightened her chest and walked towards the door of the ward with all her courage...
The moment she saw her, the woman's hands began to tremble, and the chain on her wrist accidentally hit the bed rail, making a slight sound.
"Comrade Qiao, I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry."
I was imprisoned by Old Man Li for seven whole years.
During those long years, life was like groping in the dark, with no bright future in sight.
Every day I have to endure various forms of physical violence and mental torture, and my life is filled with despair and pain.
In fact, from a medical point of view, my physical condition is not suitable for bearing offspring.
But at that time, I didn’t understand the consequences of my innate conditions.
Even though their bodies are no longer capable of nurturing new life, they are still suffering from the physical and mental damage caused by those cruel acts.
When I saw you, especially when you appeared with Captain Fu, that moment seemed to bring a ray of light into my dark world.
After talking with you two and observing your behavior, I found that you are indeed completely different from the evil characters I have encountered before. You will not betray the villagers for the sake of greed for money like Le Fei did, or even cruelly infringe on the rights of other female compatriots.
I was so anxious to escape from my present situation and regain my freedom that I followed the instructions of that wicked old man and tried to lure you here."
When she said this, the woman's voice became lower and lower until it disappeared completely, "I really feel very guilty and very embarrassed."
Afterwards, the only sound left in the room was the sound of intermittent sobbing echoing in the air.
"As a group of women, we should have united to face challenges together instead of being hostile to each other and causing more trauma to each other. I feel sad when I learned about your experience, but the most urgent task now is to work together as soon as possible to bring the culprit to justice instead of letting him succeed and making me the next victim."
Hearing this, the woman in front of him was stunned for a moment and then nodded gently, with tears in her eyes and falling down her cheeks.
In sharp contrast, Qiao Jin, who was standing aside, quickly raised her head and tried hard to hold back her tears.
"Although I personally do not consider myself to be as magnanimous as a saint, my main purpose here is to successfully complete the assigned tasks, but this does not mean that I must accept and forgive all the evil deeds in my past experiences."
After hearing what Qiao Jin said, the other party couldn't help but shed tears. Her eyes had become red and swollen from crying: "Comrade Qiao, please remember that my name is Xu Cui. I hope that one day in the future I can get your forgiveness."
When turning around to leave the ward, the moment she walked out of the room, Qiao Jin squatted down and buried her face deeply in her arms.
Then someone sat down opposite her.
"No one is forcing you to forgive this person. Although she did go through a lot of hardships, at the same time, these experiences also brought you deep hurt. The most important thing is to follow your own feelings, okay?"
Fu Yanlin's gentle and slightly low voice echoed in the air and slowly penetrated into Qiao Jin's ears. The warmth mixed with care and consideration made Qiao Jin feel a sense of comfort she had never felt before.
Qiao Jin's body shook slightly a few times, then she raised her head and looked at Fu Yanlin. Her eyes were now red as if she had just cried, and were filled with complicated emotions.
"But the moment I saw her just now, I couldn't convince myself not to forgive her. I have always believed that women should not embarrass each other, and it is obvious that she has shown great regret and self-blame for her past behavior. If I don't choose to forgive..."
At this point, her voice was choked up, as if she herself didn't know what decision would be the right one.
"In fact, what you are worried about will not happen. She is currently in a very bad mental state. Maybe you think your words may hurt her fragile heart, but what is the reality? Those words you said may not really remain in her memory."
Fu Yanlin spoke as if making a suggestion, trying to relieve the pressure on the lady as much as possible.
"Qiao Jin, stop putting such a huge psychological burden on yourself. At present, the relevant departments have begun to intervene in the matter of Congjia Village and are preparing to deal with it and provide corresponding help and support to those villagers. Even if this woman fails to find her relatives in the end, she will still receive good care and attention, and all available medical resources will be used to help her recover her health."
This is not only a word of comfort to Qiao Jin, but also an expression of a beautiful vision for the future and a positive attitude. I hope all this can allow the kind woman in front of me to let go of the heaviness in her heart.
"Just stop being so hard on yourself, okay?"
As soon as the words fell, Qiao Jin felt a sudden pain in her nose and tears were about to fall from her eyes after hearing this persuasion, but she still tried hard to control her emotions and not let them show easily. She just quietly looked at the person in front of her who always gave her strength and support when she was most helpless.
"Fu Yanlin."
This simple address contained countless unexpressed meanings, just like opening a valve for emotional catharsis, allowing her to release the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.
Listening to Qiao Jin's voice, Fu Yanlin slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with warmth and tenderness, slowly falling on her.
"Qiao Jin, what happened?"
He asked in a gentle tone, his eyes locked on her face.
Qiao Jin looked at him, her inner emotions surging, complicated and chaotic.
She bit her lower lip, as if trying to calm down, and then tried her best to make her tone calm, "It's okay, thank you for helping me untie the knot in my heart."
Her voice was low and soft.
Fu Yanlin raised an eyebrow, a puzzled expression on his face, "Why are you being so polite to me?"
He asked back, a hint of reproach in his voice.
Qiao Jin took a deep breath, mustered up her courage and said, "This time is different."
"How is it different?"
He continued to ask, trying to figure out what she meant.
Qiao Jin's eyes became firmer, but there was a hint of hesitation in her words: "Although you like me now, there must be a boundary between us. I can't ask for benefits without scruples just because you are good to me. This is too unfair to you."
