At first, Shen Mingyue didn't recognize what it was.
When Shen Mingyue unfolded the folded A4 paper and saw the familiar handwriting and words, she was struck dumb.
This...this is a handwritten pledge from her own hand to sever all ties!
When I was writing it, I didn't feel anything special; in fact, I even felt a sense of exhilaration.
But now, seeing the words she herself had written, Shen Mingyue felt only heartache, regret, and shame.
All those things she had deliberately forgotten in the past came flooding back to her mind.
After shedding her past prejudices, Shen Mingyue realized that she had overlooked many things and done many things that hurt Jiang He.
I didn't realize it before, but now that I'm sick myself.
Shen Mingyue finally understood what it meant for illness to strike like a landslide, and what the torment of disease was.
That feeling of being unable to control one's own destiny, that feeling of weakness and helplessness.
She initially disliked Jiang He because he was sick, but she forgot that it wasn't something he could choose.
Doesn't Jiang He want to be healthy?
It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't.
If given the choice, who wouldn't want to be a healthy person?
Like her, if she could, she would give anything to have a healthy body, rather than have a malignant tumor in her brain that could take her life at any moment.
Moreover, when she was sick, her daughters were by her side, accompanying her, taking care of her, worrying about her, and showing concern for her.
I always try to make her happy so that she can have a good mindset.
But what about Jiang He?
At that time, he had nothing.
His parents, who should have been his support, looked down on him, calling him stupid and foolish.
The biological father secretly hired human traffickers to abduct his illegitimate son.
Even his blood-related sisters, who shared the same mother, looked on coldly at him, showing disgust and ostracizing him.
Shen Mingyue simply couldn't imagine how distressed and helpless Jiang He must have felt at that time.
If something like that happened to her, she really wouldn't be able to handle it at all.
Thinking this, Shen Mingyue couldn't help but burst into tears.
When Jiang Xingwan finished washing the fruit and came out, she saw Shen Mingyue crying uncontrollably.
Then, upon looking at what she was holding, he immediately understood.
Thinking Shen Mingyue was crying from anger, she offered a helpless explanation.
"Mom, don't be angry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone to see Jiang He. Mom, please don't cry..."
The more Jiang Xingwan tried to comfort her, the more distressed Shen Mingyue became.
For the first time, she felt that she was a really bad mother.
How deep is the prejudice against Jiang He?
So much so that her tears of shame and regret were mistaken by her daughter as being caused by Jiang He.
She realized she was really wrong.
Jiang He wasn't as smart as she had hoped; she was a sick child. So what?
She may not love him, but if she doesn't love him, please don't hurt him.
Unfortunately, it's too late now.
She had severed their mother-son bond long ago.
There's no going back.
"No, I'm not angry."
Shen Mingyue choked back tears, forcing back her grief, and said...
"Xingwan, I'm not angry with Jiang He, I just feel very sad and regretful."
"If I could, I would really like to go back in time and scold my past self awake."
“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have been so vain and snobbish. I only saw the excellent, sweet-talking Jiang Bai, while being so harsh and disgusted with Jiang He.”
"I really, I was so foolish..."
"mom……"
Jiang Xingwan felt a tightness in her chest and didn't know what to say.
Will comforting Shen Mingyue make things better? A mother and child are connected by blood; the bond cannot be broken.
As long as they sincerely admit their mistakes, Jiang He will definitely forgive them.
But that's clearly impossible.
But to tell the truth would seem exceptionally cruel and merciless.
Moreover, she was one of the people who had hurt Jiang He.
As a fellow perpetrator, she had no right to shamelessly blame Jiang He for being so ruthless.
Because if the same treatment happened to her, let alone not forgiving her.
She's not even going to retaliate; that's just her being a saint.
He could only mechanically utter meaningless words of comfort, trying to calm Shen Mingyue down.
...
at the same time.
Liu Family Villa on the Hillside.
An argument is about to break out.
Liu's father, exasperated, pointed at Liu Ruyan and lectured her, saying she was neglecting her studies, obsessed with love, and that he wanted to send her abroad to study.
Since being rejected by Jiang He again, Liu Ruyan realized that she and Jiang He could never go back to each other, and became increasingly depressed.
He doesn't care about anything, stays up all night and stays up all night. When he's in a bad mood, he goes out drinking and gets drunk.
She discovered that drinking could only temporarily distract her from thinking about Jiang He; once she sobered up, she still felt extremely uncomfortable.
Liu Ruyan has become obsessed with extreme sports.
He hoped that the thrill and tension of extreme sports would help him forget Jiang He.
But Liu's parents couldn't stand this behavior.
As their beloved youngest daughter, they cherished her dearly, treating her with utmost care and affection.
I just hope she can be happy and joyful for the rest of her life.
Liu Ruyan lived up to expectations; although she was somewhat willful and unruly, she was generally well-behaved and sensible.
They never do anything out of line, they are always measured and planned, and they never worry them.
But now, she has changed completely.
Not only do they often go out drinking at night, but now they've also taken up extreme sports.
This completely crossed the line for Liu's parents.
