Chapter 277 "I Will Not Forgive"

Yuan Qin made a scene at the entrance of the reception room for most of the day, begging the person on duty to call Meng Jiusi over.

The soldier on duty: "..." This is too much to ask.

Dr. Meng made it clear that he did not want to see his ex-wife again, and that no amount of phone calls would help.

"You should leave. Dr. Meng doesn't want to see you." The dark-skinned young man looked at the woman's desperate face, a hint of sympathy flashing in his eyes, but he remained steadfast in his duty and refused her.

Yuan Qin tried to grab the soldier's arm, but he dodged her.

"Comrade, please say it for me again. Just say... just say I want to see my two sons, and ask Jiu Si for permission."

Her eyes gradually welled up with tears. "My letter of introduction is about to expire, and I have to go back soon. I haven't seen my two sons yet. I've come all this way, so I have to see them before I leave. I'm almost... I haven't seen them for almost a year. I wonder if they've grown taller or gained weight..."

As she spoke, she bowed and scraped, her face full of earnestness.

The dark-skinned soldier hesitated for a moment, but finally softened and gave in, "...I'll say it one last time."

Yuan Qin said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you."

The young man made another phone call, only to be told that Meng Jiusi was not available.

It's not surprising. After seeing his ex-wife, he needs time to process his emotions, so it's normal that he won't go back so quickly.

"...Dr. Meng hasn't gone back yet, why don't you..."

Yuan Qin said urgently, "I can wait, I'll go inside and wait. Please contact them for me later, thank you."

Meeting the pleading look in her eyes, the young man on duty had no choice but to swallow the refusal that was on the tip of his tongue.

"I'll ask again in ten minutes. If they're still not there, don't make things difficult for me."

Yuan Qin quickly agreed, "No trouble at all, I won't make things difficult for you. I just want to see my two sons."

She gave the dark-faced young man a forced smile and then turned and went into the reception room.

"Sigh!" sighed the soldier on duty.

Why bother.

If you couldn't bear to part with it, why did you get divorced in the first place?

Now I regret it. There's no turning back once the arrow is released; can you take back spilled water?

Ten minutes later, he called again, but still couldn't reach the person.

The soldier on duty gave him a helpless look.

“I couldn’t get in touch with Dr. Meng. He probably doesn’t want to see you. You should leave. Don’t wait any longer; it won’t do you any good if you wait until dark,” he advised.

Yuan Qin couldn't believe that Meng Jiusi would be so heartless towards her.

She shook her head. "No, absolutely not. It must be... it must be that Jiu Si doesn't know I'm waiting for him. Comrade, please help me contact him again. I beg you, it wasn't easy for me to come all this way. I still have things to say. Please help me find him. Please help me. I can't leave like this..."

Yuan Qin was very agitated and her speech became incoherent.

"I've done everything I can to help. Dr. Meng doesn't want to see you, and there's nothing I can do. I can't get in touch with him. How about this, you can leave today and come back tomorrow morning?"

The woman was pulling and tugging at him, which was a bad influence, so the soldier on duty wanted to get rid of her first.

“…Alright.” Yuan Qin could tell that the other party was getting impatient, and not daring to offend them too much, she had no choice but to back down for the time being.

"Then I'll come again tomorrow morning. Thank you for your help today," she said kindly.

Seeing that she was relatively easy to communicate with, the young man relaxed and saw her off.

Yuan Qin caused quite a stir, and many people know about it.

There was much discussion in the family compound.

The news reached Jingmo and Guangbai's ears.

Faced with the gossip of some busybodies, the older Jingmo didn't say a word, but took his younger brother to find Meng Jiusi.

“Dad…” Jingmo hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Although Guangbai is young, he is old enough to understand what people are saying. When he knows his mother is coming, his eyes light up, and you can easily see the expectation in them.

He was less than five years old and was well protected by his brother. The Yuan family, whom he both hated and feared, was not his biological mother.

Children still have a deep affection for their biological mothers.

Children at this age are at their most clingy, so it's not surprising that they miss their mothers.

Meng Jiusi put down the medical record book and waved to his two sons.

"Have you heard?" he asked, feigning ignorance.

Jingmo nodded with a straight face, "Mm."

"What are your thoughts?" Meng Jiusi asked.

This question left Jingmo speechless.

Jingmo hates the Yuan family and also resents his own mother. As early as when he took his younger brother away from home, he thought that his mother only cared about the Yuan family and not about him and his brother, so they should not care about her either.

Even now, Jingmo still holds the same view.

This is……

He was afraid his father would think he was ungrateful, so he lowered his head and didn't say anything for a long time.

Meng Jiusi put his arm around his son's shoulder and said gently, "What can't you tell me?"

He cupped Jingmo's head in his hands, lifted his face, and said earnestly, "I am your father, and you are my sons. There is nothing between us that we cannot talk about."

His eyes were so deep and all-encompassing, as if no matter what terrible trouble they caused or what outrageous things they said, it was no big deal!

Jingmo's heart stirred slightly, and four words escaped his lips: "I will not forgive."

Once that's said, the rest is easy to say.

"Dad, I don't like the Yuan family, and I don't want to forgive them!"

His words were extremely firm.

She expressed her opinion, then nervously clutched Meng Jiusi's white coat, "Dad, do you think I'm vindictive and petty? I..."

"No," Meng Jiusi interrupted him.

Her clear, dark eyes gazed at Jingmo, filled with gentleness.

"There's an old saying: 'Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering.' You and Xiaobai are the ones who are suffering, so you have the right to decide whether to forgive or not. I won't interfere."

"As for what you said, if you don't forgive me, will I think you're vindictive and petty? My answer is... no."

He patted Jingmo's head and said, "I know my son. You and Xiaobai are both good kids. If you don't forgive them, it means they did something unforgivable. If you don't forgive them, then you don't forgive them. It's nothing. Just follow your heart."

Meng Jiusi did not treat her two sons as two-year-old children who could not understand reason, and patiently expressed her views.

Jingmo's tense face completely relaxed.

“Dad, you’re so good to me,” he said.

A bright smile bloomed on her handsome face.

Meng Jiusi's expression was gentle.

Guangbai remained silent while his father and brother were talking. Only after they finished did he speak up: "Dad, brother, shall we go find Mom?"

The tone used was one of inquiry.

This was also one of the rare times he took the initiative to make a request.

Meng Jiusi looked at him, unsure how to explain to such a young child that his parents had divorced and things would never be the same again.

"Dad, I brought Guangbai home!"

Jingmo left a message and took Guangbai home.

After arriving home, I sat face to face with my younger brother and we had a conversation.

As he finished speaking, Xiaobai's tears streamed down her face.

"Will there be no mother in the family anymore?" the child asked softly, with a sob in his voice.

Jingmo couldn't bear to watch, but felt that Xiaobai would have to accept it sooner or later, so he nodded. "Waaah..." Guangbai cried out, ran to the room, pulled back the covers, and crawled inside, trembling with sobs, his face covered in tears and snot.

She cried and cried until she got tired, then put her little head on the pillow and fell asleep.

Outside, Jingmo heard her younger brother crying, and her eyes reddened slightly.

After a while, he went into the house.

She pulled the blanket off her younger brother, straightened his body, went out the door, took a wet towel, wiped the dirt off Xiaobai's face, and sat on the bed in a daze.

After a long silence, Jingmo said softly, "My aunt once said something that I remember very clearly: 'Hesitation leads to trouble.'"

"Mom is bad, the Yuan family is bad. They hurt us and they hurt Dad. If we go to see Mom, she will use us to get close to Dad. Then the Yuan family will come too, and we won't have a good life!"

"Xiaobai, Daddy finally regained his reputation and started a normal life. We can't ruin Daddy's life. If you do, I'll beat you. Not only will I beat you, but I'll also get Yubao and the others to beat you up too. You'll be in big trouble then!"

Meng Jiusi, who was standing at the door, overheard all of these words.

My eyes stung slightly, and I felt an indescribable warmth and heartache in my heart.

He didn't regret that marriage because of his two sensible sons.

He didn't disturb the child and left quietly, just as he had when he returned.

The main entrance of the military hospital.

"Dr. Meng," a young woman in her early twenties greeted her warmly.

Meng Jiusi looked over, her expression unfamiliar.

Li Can lowered his eyes, feeling disappointed.

“I’m an intern, and I’ve attended Dr. Meng’s classes before.”

Meng Jiusi's eyes flashed with understanding, and she smiled apologetically, "There were quite a few people before, and I didn't remember all their names. I'm sorry."

Li Can was surprised that Dr. Meng, who had such excellent medical skills, was so humble and easy-going, and gave him a bright smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, I understand."

"I have some questions I need to ask you, Dr. Meng. Are you available now?"

Meng Jiusi said modestly and gently, "It's too much of a formality to ask for your advice. I'm happy to exchange ideas and learn from any doctor."

Li Can's feelings for him deepened.

……

Yuan Qin came again the next day.

The requirements are the same as yesterday.

Meng Jiusi had said everything he needed to say, and he ignored his ex-wife's request to see him one more time.

Yuan Qin stood and waited for two hours, but she didn't see Meng Jiusi at all.

The longer she waited, the more lucid she became. Seeing Meng Jiusi's ruthlessness, Yuan Qin then demanded to see her two sons.

She even made threats—if the military wouldn't let her see her son, she wouldn't leave and would wait forever.

After making those harsh remarks, Yuan Qin returned to the reception room and adopted a posture of sitting for a long time.

Helpless, the young man on duty told Meng Jiusi about the situation and asked him to think of a solution. He said that if things continued to escalate like this, it would have a bad influence and attract attention.

Dr. Meng has made such great contributions to the military region and the soldiers, and he couldn't bear to see such a good person become a laughing stock.

"I understand, I'll take care of it in a bit. I'm sorry to have troubled you." Meng Jiusi expressed his apologies.

"No, it's nothing. It's our duty. You don't need to be so polite."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Meng Jiusi reappeared.

Yuan Qin was overjoyed. "Jiusi, I knew it! I knew you would come. You care about our family just as much as I do, don't you?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Jiusi suddenly smiled, "Home?"

“You’re overthinking it. That family in the capital fell apart a long time ago.” He said, emphasizing each word, “I hope you’ll come to your senses and stop clinging to this. You should know that I don’t want any more entanglement with the past. Don’t add any more waves to my peaceful life, even if it’s just for the sake of how I’ve treated you before.”

His words weren't harsh, but the resolute tone was very clear.

Yuan Qin stood there, stunned, her heart sinking.

"Is there... not even the slightest possibility?" Her eyes were red as she tried to persuade her to stay.

Meng Jiusi shook his head.

“I know I did wrong, but… but I was scared. It’s understandable to choose the wrong path when you’re in a hurry, right? You’re back now, and Jingmo and Guangbai are both alright. Why can’t we… can’t we go back to the past?” Yuan Qin said urgently. “I know I was wrong, I will change. From now on, my heart will be focused on our little family. Please forgive me just this once, okay? I beg you, Jiusi…”

Meng Jiusi took a few steps back.

“You’re getting too worked up,” he said calmly. “If you’re going to stay this worked up, there’s no need to say anything more today.”

Yuan Qin instantly sobered up. "No, no, I'm not agitated anymore. Let's talk this out, let's talk this out."

She is afraid.

She knew that once Meng Jiusi left, she would never see him again!
"Go back now, don't make things difficult for the comrades at the gate. I won't come out to see you again. You'd better take care of yourself," Meng Jiusi said.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yuan Qin quickly called out to him, "I want to see my son."

Meng Jiusi didn't stop, he just turned slightly to the side.

“They don’t want to see you,” he said coldly.

Yuan Qin stammered, "...I am their mother."

"Have you fulfilled your duties as a mother?" Meng Jiusi retorted. "I've only been gone a short while, and you've already made them go hungry because of your family, leaving them unable to go home. If it weren't for..."

Fearing that Yuan Qin might go looking for Zhao Zhao without understanding the situation, he didn't mention Lin Zhao.

Taking a deep breath, he reiterated, "I'll take care of Jingmo and Guangbai; you don't need to worry about them."

The moment he finished speaking, he strode away.

After that, no matter how much Yuan Qin made a fuss, she never saw Meng Jiusi again.

It's a pity that the Meng family father and son had just started to live a peaceful life, only to be caught up in rumors and gossip because of her.

Jingmo was furious when she heard about the criticisms leveled against her father in the family compound.

He confronted Yuan Qin in a fit of rage and said something to her.

On the same day, Yuan Qin left in a daze.

Meng Jiusi had some idea that Jingmo had come to see his mother, but he didn't ask any further questions.

The Meng father and son had no intention of telling the people in the Fengshou Brigade about the unpleasant things Yuan Qin had brought them.

Unfortunately, the military region has a little loudspeaker named Cat Egg.

Lin Zhao eventually found out.

While she was angry, she was also quite puzzled.

The young man said that he had kept his whereabouts well hidden, and even his closest friends did not know. How could it have suddenly been reported back to the capital?

Strange.

Full of doubts, she wrote a letter to Gu Chenghuai.

After receiving the urgent letter, Gu Chenghuai began his investigation.

Before they could find out the reason, a letter from a large state-owned factory in the capital... provided the answer to all the questions that were incomprehensible.

The letter was written by the factory director of the large factory where Meng Jiusi used to work. He wrote a letter to the military region leaders, stating that their factory had received a letter containing Meng Jiusi's current situation and work address, which involved a leak of secrets, and he hoped that the military region would take it seriously.

Upon hearing the news, Gu Chenghuai approached his fourth brother-in-law, "...Who did you offend?"

Meng Jiusi: "..." He was more bewildered than anyone else.

"How would I know?" He frowned. "I have absolutely no clue."
