Chapter 450 - 450: Cry
“When Jingzhi was six or seven years old, he was kidnapped with his classmates. At that time, Chong Lou and his colleagues had solved a big case, offended their enemies, and suffered revenge. After Jingzhi disappeared, Chong Lou almost went crazy. When he found the two of them, they were in the fire. Because the other child was already on the verge of suffocation, Chong Lou had no choice but to jump down and save his colleague’s child. Because of this, Jingzhi hated his own father.”
“I’ve been brooding over this matter for a long time, but later, Chong Lou’s colleague’s wife told me that after Chong Lou saved the other party’s child, he jumped into the fire and used his own body to block the fire for Jing Zhi. His leg was also injured at that time.”
“So I can understand him. Which parent doesn’t want to save their own child first? Which father would be able to endure his son waiting to die in the fire? I think he must have been prepared to die with him when he jumped into the fire, but Jingzhi couldn’t understand it, so he hated his father until today.”
When Mother Xu talked about these past events, she could not help but cry.
After Lin Wanli heard this, she was deeply moved and said to Mother Xu, “Look, you all hoped that Xu Jingzhi, who was only six or seven years old, could understand his father’s difficulties. But from his perspective, at such a critical moment, his father appeared like a superman, but the first thing he saved was not his own life. At that moment, a six or seven-year-old child’s worldview collapsed. He felt that the person he trusted the most had betrayed him, and the person closest to him had abandoned him to save someone else’s child. Don’t you feel sorry for him?”
“But…”
“I know. It’s precisely because we’re all adults that we can understand Uncle’s choice. However, Xu Jingzhi, who was still a child at that time, only hoped that his father would save him. So, don’t try to convince him to understand adults. He won’t understand. When he has a responsibility on his shoulders and encounters the same problem, he will understand that some people really don’t sacrifice themselves for fame and fortune, nor do they want to leave a legacy. At that moment, there is only the weight of life.”
” You always manage to comfort me. I feel much better after hearing your words. However, I was still hurt by him just now. It wasn’t easy for me to give birth to him.” Mother Xu sighed.
“When people are angry, they will say whatever they want. You have to give the child a chance to make a mistake. If there’s a next time, you have to punish him, okay? Similarly, auntie doesn’t have to interfere with his friends. He has clear ears and eyes, and he can judge for himself. If others interfere, it will only make you guys distrust him even more.”
“I’m just afraid that Huo Shengyuan hurt him more. The more he cares about his relationship with Huo Shengyuan, the more worried I am. When he finds out that Huo Shengyuan backstabbed his sister and did business with Su Yuanchao behind the Xu family’s back, how intense will his reaction be?”
That was another hatred Xu Jingzhi had for Xu Chonglou. He felt that Xu Chonglou did not care about his sister’s feelings at all. For the sake of his reputation, he was unwilling to pull his sister out of her misery.
“If that’s the case, Young Master Xu probably can’t understand how difficult it is for Uncle Xu to weigh the pros and cons of Miss Xu’s matter. Because this father knew that no matter what he did, the one who would be hurt the most was the daughter he cared about. He had already made a mistake once, so he did not dare to make a second decision. Uncle Xu was indeed not a good father, but…lf we were in his shoes, we might not be able to do better.”
“Isn’t that so?”
“In that case, let’s give each other more time. As time passes, we’ll be able to see through each other’s hearts.”
“But Huo Shengyuan and his wife will definitely use Jingzhi to make things difficult for you.” Mother Xu frowned.
“It’s okay, Auntie. Why would we be afraid of a child?” Lin Wanli said generously.
Mother Xu looked at how calm Lin Wanli was and felt some admiration for her. She was clearly only in her early twenties, but she actually had such a broad and open-minded mind. It was as if there was no person or thing that she could not tolerate. This was indeed likable.
“Then, let’s go back.”
The two of them discussed in the pavilion for some time, but Xu Jingzhi was hiding behind the stone pillar. This was different from what he imagined because Lin Wanli did not have any intention of sowing discord. She even expressed her understanding of him.
It had been more than ten years since the incident, and he had been in the army for so long. He had to rescue people many times. Every time he was in a disaster, he would compare his father’s choice back then. He had tried, in the face of life, there was not much time to think. He would save as many as he could. Those who were in danger and sick would always be prioritized.
He had also tried to choose the person he wanted to rescue according to his preferences, but how was that possible? Anyone with a conscience knew that it was a shameful act, so he had no reason not to understand his father.
However, after so many years of confrontation, he had a habit of being sarcastic. It was really difficult to change it in a short period of time. This was because other than him, he still remembered his sister, Xu Huiwen.
Today, he had overheard the conversation between his mother and Lin Wanli. He knew part of the truth, but perhaps he needed to become a real father to understand and experience this part of his feelings.
As for the cooperation between Huo Shengyuan and Su Yuanchao, he really didn’t know.
Therefore, he called a friend in the business circle, hoping that he could help with the investigation. He didn’t want to frame Huo Shengyuan, and he also didn’t want to rrame anyone else Decause or HUO snengyuan.
On the other side, Huo Shengyuan and Mu Qingya thought that Xu Jingzhi’s arrival would become their sharpest weapon..
