As she continued speaking, Jiang Xingwan clearly lost control of her emotions.
Her eyes were red-rimmed, and her gaze towards Jiang He was full of condemnation and accusation, as if Jiang He were some heinous, cold-blooded, and ruthless demon.
Jiang He felt only irony.
"Jiang Xingwan, you told me to go see Shen Mingyue, and then what?"
"Am I some kind of magic pill that can cure Shen Mingyue's illness just by seeing her?"
That's impossible, of course.
"Don't make it sound like I'm heartless. You seem to only be asking me to see her once, but what are you really up to? You know exactly what you're planning."
In reality, it's about morally blackmailing him into forgiving Shen Mingyue, and even taking care of her despite past grievances.
He couldn't go to see Shen Mingyue with a cold face, could he? He couldn't just remain indifferent, saying nothing and doing nothing.
In order for Shen Mingyue to feel at ease and resolve her inner conflict, wouldn't he have to say a few words against his will, like, "I don't blame you anymore, I forgive you"?
And then there's that cliché family reunion ending with them making dumplings?
That's impossible!
He will never forgive them!
Once he goes to see him, that's the beginning of his decline.
Therefore, it's impossible for him to go see Shen Mingyue.
"As for the debt of gratitude for giving birth to me—"
Jiang He wanted to say that he had already paid it back.
He already paid for it with his life in his past life.
But his rebirth was his biggest secret. He paused, went inside, and pulled out a handwritten promise from Shen Mingyue. He said...
"Didn't Shen Mingyue already unilaterally write a letter promising to sever her relationship with her son? We have no relationship anymore."
"Not all hurt can be healed with an apology at the end."
"Jiang Xingwan, don't come looking for me anymore. There's no way I'll go see her. If you really want me to see her, I'll wait until she dies, and out of respect for the fact that she gave birth to me, I'll go to her funeral one last time. That's all."
After Jiang He finished speaking, she threw down the letter promising to sever ties with her son and slammed the door shut.
Jiang Xingwan was stunned.
After a long while, he stiffly squatted down and picked up the letter of commitment from the ground.
She remembered this promise letter. It was written after Shen Mingyue was photographed by paparazzi and her image was posted online, which led to her being attacked online, because Jiang He had called the police.
Enraged, he wrote a letter promising to sever ties.
She didn't object at the time; in fact, she clapped her hands in approval.
Unexpectedly, after all this time, she actually took the initiative to go over and humbly beg Jiang He for forgiveness.
Looking at the tightly closed door in front of her, Jiang Xingwan clenched the letter of commitment in her hand, suddenly speechless.
Thinking about what they had done to Jiang He in the past, she found herself unable to speak up.
Put yourself in her shoes. If you had experienced those things, would you still have forgiven the Jiang family?
Although Jiang Xingwan herself was unwilling to admit it, the answer that surfaced in her heart was no.
If the misunderstanding hadn't been cleared up and the truth hadn't been revealed, she probably would still hate Jiang He now, hating him for almost killing her.
She can't forgive the people who hurt her.
What right do you have to ask Jiang He to forgive you?
Jiang Xingwan lowered her eyes and left Jiang He's house dejectedly.
She was oversimplifying things.
What's the point of sending Jiang He to see her mother?
Just like he said, if you only look at one side, Mom's health won't improve.
If we want Mom to get over her troubles, just seeing her once isn't enough. I'm afraid Jiang He also needs to forgive Mom and reconcile with her.
But is that even possible?
Jiang He wouldn't even see him once, let alone forgive him.
Perhaps her coming here was a mistake.
Jiang Xingwan returned to the hospital dejectedly, not daring to tell Shen Mingyue about it, afraid that she would overthink things if she knew.
Fortunately, she wasn't sure she could get Jiang He to come, but she also thought that if Jiang He did come, it would be a pleasant surprise for Shen Mingyue.
So I didn't tell Shen Mingyue about it before I went.
Therefore, after returning, Jiang Xingwan hid the letter of commitment in her bag, and casually said that she had gone to the company to handle some matters.
Everything is fine now, and then, as usual, he asked Shen Mingyue if she needed anything, and she went to help her with it.
Shen Mingyue said she wanted to eat some fruit and asked Jiang Xingwan to get her a fruit platter.
She stayed in high-end single rooms with private bathrooms.
Jiang Xingwan agreed and took the fruit to the washroom to wash it.
While she was inside, Shen Mingyue opened her bag and started rummaging through it.
Jiang Xingwan thought she had kept her visit to Jiang He discreet, but Shen Mingyue had already guessed it.
Jiang Xingwan would never mention Jiang He to her normally.
But yesterday, he acted out of character, talking about Jiang He and secretly observing her expression.
Today, I made another excuse to leave the hospital to run errands.
At this point in time, there's not much else to do.
Back when she was diagnosed with a malignant tumor, Jiang Xingwan had already told her company that she would temporarily stop taking on work and focus on taking care of her in the hospital.
Without a doubt, Shen Mingyue felt that Jiang Xingwan must have gone to find Jiang He.
Shen Mingyue's feelings towards Jiang He are very complicated right now.
From initial annoyance at his perceived lack of ambition, to feeling resentment and hatred towards him for being useless, unfilial, and causing trouble, compared to Jiang Bai, she gradually came to appreciate his behavior.
I really wish he were dead, and I regret giving birth to this debt-collecting bastard.
But after Jiang Bai's true identity was revealed and she learned the truth about Jiang He's abduction, the deep-seated hatred and disgust turned into confusion. If everything was fake, then why did she still need to hate Jiang He?
After being betrayed one after another, she realized that no matter what, she and Jiang He were mother and son. Jiang He was a piece of flesh that fell from her womb, and they were connected by blood.
This made her feel a mix of confusion, guilt, and closeness.
But those past barriers are real and not so easy to resolve.
For a moment, she didn't know how to face Jiang He.
She wants to reconcile with Jiang He and become a harmonious and close mother and son, but she doesn't know how to bring it up or how to resolve the conflict.
Therefore, when she realized that Jiang Xingwan wanted to bring Jiang He to the hospital, she was looking forward to it.
But to my surprise, it still failed.
Judging from Jiang Xingwan's preoccupied appearance, their meeting did not go smoothly.
Shen Mingyue wanted to know what had happened, so she made an excuse to send Jiang Xingwan away and went to rummage through the bag that Jiang Xingwan was clutching tightly to see if there was anything hidden inside.
Upon flipping through the package, they found Jiang Xingwan's letter of commitment to sever ties, which she had placed in her bag.
