Chapter 337: Chapter 222_3 Chapter 337: Chapter 222_3 “But from the letters my mother wrote to him, it’s clear she really loved him, so I really wanted to ask him in person, why did he have to do something that wronged my mother.”

“Actually, among the questions I had prepared, there was another one, I wanted to ask if he regretted it. But when I heard what he had to say and saw his tears, I already knew the answer.”

“I was thinking, if he was a scumbag, I would just curse him out, turn around and leave, letting him envy how good my life is now, that would be so satisfying, right?”

“But now, I don’t feel satisfied at all. Instead, it feels like a tragedy, one that I can’t judge as right or wrong. Can you tell me, did they not make it to the end because they didn’t love each other enough, or because they didn’t hold on long enough? Does every couple love that deeply, or hold on that long?”

“After he completed his mission, he was wounded all over, he lay in the hospital for so long, whose fault was that, who should be blamed?”

“When I can’t judge right from wrong, I find myself not knowing how to face him. Do I need to find someone, him, to pay for the tragedy that happened back then, or what should I do?”

Shen Jingxiu glanced at Wenyan through the rearview mirror, saw her frown, and furrowed his own brows, “What he said still needs to be verified.”

“Yes, but in the end, there are only two outcomes. Yes or no. If he lied to me, that would be great, then I could just curse him out and block him. If he didn’t lie to me,”

“Then what will you do?” This time, it was Shen Jingchuan who pressed the question, “Do you want to acknowledge him? Wenyan, there are only the three of us here, just tell us directly what you are really thinking. Even if you say you don’t want to recognize him, we’ll think it’s okay. No one is going to morally bind you. Are you worried about that?”

“It’s not that. I don’t actually have any feelings towards him, after all, today is only the second time we’ve met, it wouldn’t be wrong for me not to recognize him.”

“Yes, look at Qin Yulong, she’s actually our sister Zhirou, but she clearly said she doesn’t want to return to the Shen Family, and our parents still begged her to acknowledge her ancestors and return to the family. But Xu Jie is different, he knows his circumstances aren’t good, and you heard his intentions just now, he said he doesn’t want to affect you, and he didn’t initiate the recognition.”

“Yeah, but the more he considers me in every aspect, the more… I’m afraid I’ll make the wrong decision, you know? This decision is not just for my own sake.”

“Why?” Shen Jingchuan was puzzled, “Who else do you need to make this decision for? Isn’t this your own matter?”

“For the person who gave me life. I’m very grateful to her for giving me life.”

“Them?”

“Her, I misspoke.”

“Your biological mother?”

“Yes. She really is a wonderful mother, and she never hid my existence from my biological father. Perhaps, I shouldn’t go against her wishes?”

“Then acknowledge him.” Shen Jingxiu spoke once more, “Actually, accepting a new relationship isn’t that difficult. Even if you do acknowledge him, it doesn’t mean you have to bring him into your life to care for him, or to be with him day and night.”

Shen Jingchuan: “????”

Unable to contain himself, he coughed twice, “Big brother, what are you talking about? Why should she acknowledge him? Some relationships are already severed, why stubbornly reconnect them? There’s no necessity for that.”

“I just don’t want to see Wenyan in a difficult position. Ordinary people facing this issue might not want to recognize, worried about having another elder to care for in the future, worried about more troubles. But Wenyan doesn’t have this worry. Even without her, we can take care of this issue.”

“…” Makes some sense. Shen Jingchuan hissed softly, “Then why doesn’t Qin Yulong think the same way? She doesn’t have the worry of caring for the elderly either, what’s wrong with recognizing our parents, yet she’s been dragging this issue out until now, with our parents not returning to the country for so long.”

“Everyone has a different personality, so naturally, they handle things differently. But what’s the same is that these kinds of issues can’t be settled in a day or two, or with just a few words. If a person’s heart never struggles, then it’s no different from a stone.”

Shen Jingxiu glanced at Wenyan through the mirror again, he too was unsure if his suggestion was the right one.

His own heart was in turmoil, it just hadn’t been noticed by others yet.
