We can only take it one step at a time.
When we arrived at the company building, Su Shenglin said he would pick me up after get off work that evening, but I refused.
"Everyone's busy at the end of the year, you don't need to run around like this, it's very convenient for me to take the subway."
"You don't want to see me?"
"No."
"Then wait for me to pick you up."
"..." I was powerless to refuse and could only acquiesce.
At this point, I think his second flaw is probably his slightly excessive assertiveness and desire for control.
Back at the company, Xiao Yingtao immediately came to greet him.
"Sister Wan, you've arrived..."
"Is she still in my office?"
"Yes, she wouldn't leave and insisted that I serve her tea and water." Little Cherry took the opportunity to complain, her face full of resistance.
I smiled helplessly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go ahead and get back to work."
I pushed the door open and saw Tang Xiu'e, who had been lying on the sofa, sit up abruptly, looking somewhat restrained and startled. But once she saw that it was me who had come in, she immediately changed her expression.
"Jiang Wan, you're finally here! I thought you were going to keep hiding from me."
I walked behind my desk, my expression indifferent, not even glancing at him. "You're asking me for money again? I've already said no, and even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you. Go ahead and sue me if you want."
Tang Xiue walked up to my desk, her face filled with anger and helplessness. "Fine, you don't have to give me the money, but you should find a good hospital for your dad. He'll be out for treatment soon!"
I had consulted a lawyer about this matter and already had a general idea of what was going on, but I was still secretly shocked when I heard this.
That's incredibly efficient! It'll be out so quickly?
Seeing my puzzled look, she explained, "If we don't come out soon, everyone will be gone!"
I went along with her words, saying, "Since he is already terminally ill, going to the hospital for treatment would only be a waste of medical resources, and he would just suffer in silence."
"Jiang Wan, are you even human?!" Tang Xiu'e raised her voice. "He is, after all, your biological father. Without him, where would you be?"
"But if I had a choice, I would rather not have been born than have such a beastly father!" I retorted without backing down.
"..." Tang Xiu'e was so angry that her mouth trembled, her eyes reddened, and she couldn't say a word.
The resentment that had been building up inside me was stirred up again, and I couldn't help but say more: "Back when my mother had cancer and we didn't have money for chemotherapy, I begged you for help. What did you say back then?"
I still remember their faces back then, so I imitated their tone: "It's all fate... You have to accept the arrangement of fate. Your mother just had bad luck—how come now that Jiang Haiyang is seriously ill, you want to fight against fate?"
Tang Xiue moved her mouth slightly, then stammered, "Your mother has cancer. Chemotherapy will only make her more miserable... and it won't cure her."
"Can Jiang Haiyang's complications really be cured? Overtreatment will only increase his suffering."
“It’s different… Your dad’s illness, as long as you’re willing to spend money and hire good doctors, can extend his life. He could live for another three to five years without any problem.”
"Ha..." I laughed disdainfully, "What's the point of that beast living for another three or five years? To deal with me? Or to find a way to make some more money for you and your son?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiu'e's face clearly showed guilt, and she even avoided eye contact.
She thought I didn't understand her true intentions.
If there were no profit to be made, or if she didn't have some other purpose, why would she be so actively involved? I don't believe her "love" for Jiang Haiyang is that deep.
They just wanted to make Jiang Haiyang contribute some of his remaining value before he died.
To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than profiting from human suffering.
"What, I hit a nerve and you're speechless?" I sneered mockingly when she remained silent.
Tang Xiue swallowed, then stammered, trying to sound shameless, "Anyway, she's your biological father, so you can't escape this responsibility and obligation!"
After saying that, she turned and slunk away.
I sat in the chair, and for a long time I was immersed in this feeling of powerless desolation and intense anger.
I couldn't help but think that it would be best if he got even sicker, went to report to the King of Hell as soon as possible, and knelt down to apologize to my mother on his way to the underworld!
Thinking about this, a sudden inspiration struck me.
right!
He still owes my mother an apology, and although she can't hear it, that doesn't mean he can skip it.
I need to apologize to my mom right now, before he dies!
With this in mind, I had another plan.
————
Life is busy, and with the end of the year approaching, I'm going on a business trip to Europe.
Before Tang Xiue came to ask for money again, I received a short video first.
It is unclear how Gu Yanqing persuaded his sister, Gu Yutian, to release an apology video through her lawyer.
In the video, she sincerely apologized to me.
“I shouldn’t have interfered with my brother’s personal relationship with Ms. Jiang, and I shouldn’t have tried to frame Ms. Jiang by illegal means. I sincerely apologize to her.”
Then, she bowed to the camera, looking both unwilling and regretful, and said, "Jiang Wan, I'm sorry, I apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness."
As soon as the video was released, many friends immediately forwarded it to me, all congratulating me and saying that I had finally gotten my revenge and made the Gu family lose face.
I was quite calm.
Whether or not I apologize is meaningless to me; it's just about saving face.
But it took a lot of courage for Gu Yutian to do this, which surprised me quite a bit, and I also felt a sense of relief.
Gu Yanqing called me again.
"Sweetie has already apologized, when will you issue a letter of understanding?"
"I will contact a lawyer to handle this matter in the next two days."
