Chapter 184: Retribution
Xie Jingyan left the hospital.
Meng Su’s car was parked at the hospital entrance.
He got out of the car, wearing a suit with a glossy texture inside and a black wool coat outside.
Gold-rimmed glasses rested on his nose bridge, and a pair of eyes similar to Xie Jingyan’s held a smile: “Xiao Jing.”
Xie Jingyan didn’t really want to see him, but it was also thanks to Meng Su that the Lin Family people hadn’t continued to harass him.
He still walked forward and inquired: “Why did you come?”
Meng Su chuckled lightly: “I wanted to see your sister, but I didn’t expect to run into you, so I just waited outside for you.”
Meng Su took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, bit one for himself, then offered one to Xie Jingyan.
Xie Jingyan raised his hand to block: “I don’t smoke.”
Meng Su raised his brows and looked at Xie Jingyan’s fair and clean face, somewhat relieved: “Good student.”
Xie Jingyan sneered: “You waited for me just to hand me a cigarette?”
Meng Su cupped his palm halfway, lit the tobacco with a lighter, white mist rose, and he replied: “No, it’s just that your maternal grandmother wants to see you once. Can you…”
“No.” Xie Jingyan refused expressionlessly: “I can talk to you, that doesn’t mean I can forgive her. Even if you don’t pay Xiao He’s medical expenses, I have a method to make up that money. With or without you, my life goes on the same. I don’t want to have any relationship with you, nor any relationship with the Lin Family. If my mother were still alive, she probably wouldn’t forgive you either. But fortunately, after leaving you, she lived very happily.”
Meng Su fell silent, ultimately sighing: “Xiao Jing, I can’t forgive my past self or them either.”
His eyes held a smile: “Uncle is on your side.”
The Meng Su of the past was young and powerless.
He cried and made a fuss, but his parents only scolded him for being immature.
What does immature mean?
He just didn’t want to see his older sister trapped in a marriage that had already rotted.
But fortunately, his older sister was a brave person.
After experiencing pain, she could bravely accept new feelings and heal herself.
Meng Su looked at Xie Jingyan; the person he could accept must be someone who valued his older sister more than his own life.
“I support your decision.”
Snow fell in clusters, and Xie Jingyan’s figure walked farther and farther away.
Sobbing sounds came from inside the Bentley car.
Meng Su finished the cigarette in his hand, sat in the driver’s seat, and said to the person in the back: “Did you hear? Xiao Jing doesn’t want to see you, nor does he want to see Lin Tinghe.”
He seemed to think of something funny and couldn’t help but chuckle twice: “Lin Tinghe was romantic all his life, but in the end when he was about to die, he only had Xiao Jing as his son. Isn’t this retribution from heaven? Even in death, no one will see him off.”
Old Mrs. Meng wiped her tears; she had heard Xie Jingyan’s words and glanced at Xie Jingyan through the car window.
His eyebrows and eyes were all shadows of Meng Qing.
It made her involuntarily think of her own daughter again.
She didn’t even have the courage to stand in front of Xie Jingyan.
If it weren’t for their cowardice thirteen years ago, fearing the colossal Lin Family.
If they had stood up and helped their daughter divorce no matter the cost, would the ending have been different? Meng Qing wouldn’t have died in a foreign land.
Old Mrs. Meng regretted it, but it was no use.
She calmed her emotions, and her face returned to solemnity: “If he doesn’t want to see, then so be it. As long as I know Xiao Jing is safe, it’s fine. I let Qingqing down, so I can’t let Xiao Jing suffer any more harm. Keep an eye on the Lin Family side, don’t let them disturb Xiao Jing anymore.”
“And Bai Yingjie deliberately lost her own daughter back then just to get close to Lin Tinghe, forcing away your older sister and Xiao Jing. After she married Lin Tinghe, they divorced in just five years. Now she’s searching the world for her daughter, and only when Lin Tinghe fell seriously ill did he remember Qingqing’s goodness. It’s all retribution.”
Old Mrs. Meng mocked, her tone carrying a bit of relief.
Back then, Lin Tinghe and Bai Yingjie’s relationship was passionate and intense.
But Bai Yingjie didn’t know if her brain short-circuited or something; she wanted to elope with a poor painter, hid abroad to get married and have a daughter.
Under Lin Tinghe’s heartbreak and despair, he was redeemed by Meng Qing.
Back then, the two of them were also very loving.
If Bai Yingjie hadn’t returned to the country and come to interfere in the relationship between them, they would now be a happy couple.
And Lin Tinghe would have let go of his first love long ago.
It was just that the timing really wasn’t right.
“A Su, is the Jiang Family girl you’re helping related to the Huo Family?”
Meng Su replied softly: “Yes, Bai Chuchu spread rumors calling A Li a mistress, teamed up with Huo Yu to harm her, bullying her for having no power or influence.”
Meng Su hooked the corner of his mouth slightly: “But what I can’t stand most is this kind of behavior. Bai Yingjie is Bai Chuchu’s aunt; if the upper beam is not straight, the lower one will be crooked. There’s not a single good one in the entire Bai Family. I’ll be A Li’s backer; no one can bully her.”
Old Mrs. Meng hesitated to speak.
She looked at Meng Su’s profile; his facial features had soft lines, but his eyes were sharp.
He was serious.
In the end, Old Mrs. Meng said: “As long as you’re happy, it’s fine. I won’t stop you or interfere in your life. But A Su, if you like a girl, treat her well. Don’t repeat your older sister’s tragedy.”
Because of Meng Qing.
Old Mrs. Meng no longer interfered in Meng Su’s marriage.
She only had this one child left.
She didn’t want to drive away her son too.
Meng Su smiled: “I know, Mom. I have my own plans.”
……
Capital City high-speed rail station.
Compared to the cold sharpness outside, it was warm as spring inside.
Xie Jingyan had entered the station an hour early.
His ticket was for nine o’clock in the evening.
Jiang Ning circled around him: “So Meng Su is your uncle! No wonder, I thought the male lead in the book couldn’t have a bad background. Turns out you’re a hidden second generation rich. In the future, if I want to use money to pressure you, I’ll have to think twice.”
Jiang Ning touched his chin: “Then if I end up with you later, and my older sister ends up with your uncle, how should we address each other? Should I call her aunt? Or should your uncle call you brother-in-law? Hahaha, thinking about it is kind of funny.”
Jiang Ning was giggling foolishly on the side.
Then she remembered something and continued chattering.
“Xie Jingyan, don’t go find me when you return to Jin Cheng. Can you wait for me to come back? If you go now, you’ll definitely be bullied.”
“I didn’t even hit you hard, but she slapped you. You have to know to dodge, don’t stupidly stand there and let her bully you.”
Jiang Ning whispered in his ear.
But it was as if she were talking to the air.
Jiang Ning was tired.
She simply sat down with him.
Then she saw him pull out a torn Strawberry Bear from his schoolbag.
He pulled out some cotton.
He stuffed it into the broken seam, and soon the flat little bear became plump again.
Jiang Ning thought he had thrown it away, but unexpectedly he had quietly picked it up and collected it together.
Jiang Ning’s mood was complicated, and in the end she muttered: “Is it worth it… Wait for me to come back and buy you a new one…”
Until Xie Jingyan safely arrived home, he took needle and thread from the drawer, stitched the teddy bear doll together crookedly, wiped the dirty spots clean, admired it for a moment, then hugged it to sleep.
Please vote, don’t hide the monthly tickets at the beginning of the month, give them all to me~
