Chapter 426: Refusing to Save the Dying
Xie Xinyuan’s eyes were cleansed with a spray of water from Mengyu’s book. When he looked again, he finally saw that mother and her five-year-old son.
The boy’s features were at least eighty percent similar to his. Anyone who saw the boy would say that the child was his son!
He was stupefied.
“Furthermore, whether it’s a man or a woman, if they have physical relations with another person, that person’s essence will linger in their spirit.
But when I looked at this woman’s spiritual body, there’s only your essence within her. This indicates that in her lifetime, she only had you as her man.
Yet you, how could you wrongly accuse her of being involved with another man?”
Xie Xinyuan was shocked: “What are you saying? She only ever had me as her man in her lifetime?”
Does this mean, she never betrayed me at all? And the child was mine, too?
“I do not know you, nor do I know her. None of you owe me favors, nor do I bear any grudge against you, do you think I have any reason to lie to you?” Mengyu looked at Xie Xinyuan dispassionately.
Xie Xinyuan actually believed Mengyu. He just didn’t dare to believe it.
Shocked, he recalled the events of that year.
“But someone saw with their own eyes, a man jumping over the wall from her house.”
Mengyu sneered: “A man jumping over the wall from her house means she had an affair? Isn’t it possible that it was a thief stealing something?
No, considering your circumstances, it’s more likely that someone with ulterior motives was framing her!
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must find them with stolen goods; to catch an adulterer, you must catch the couple in the act. You didn’t catch her cheating in bed, so how could you believe she cuckolded you? Even abandoning your own child?
Moreover, when your son was seriously ill, she tried everything but couldn’t afford his medical treatment. Holding her child, she went to your home to beg for your help, why didn’t you save him?
I’m not even talking about your own child; even if it was a beggar on the side of the road facing a life or death situation, you should still help, right?
But you, you just stood by and watched him die! Alas, what a heart of stone.”
Xie Xinyuan felt increasingly alarmed as he listened: “What are you saying? She came to the door asking for help with her sick child?”
Wasn’t it said that she came to his door with her son for the purpose of extortion?
Wasn’t it said that she came to his door with her son for the purpose of entangling him?
Wasn’t it said that she came to his door with her son to let people know he had led an immoral life?
And because of this, he hid and didn’t meet her, no, it was because he was afraid to meet her, afraid he would be entangled, affecting his reputation, and then people would seize on the scandal to dismiss him from his office!
Why did no one tell him that she came to the door with her child merely to ask for money to save the child?
“You can’t be unaware of the situation at the time? But Zhou Wangmei said, you were clearly at home but refused to meet her.
She just asked you for three hundred yuan for her child’s hospital treatment. But after much pleading, you didn’t give a single cent, letting her leave in despair with her child. Unable to afford the treatment, her son died that very night.
Since her son was her soul support, after his death, she herself collapsed from the strain and followed her son in death three days later.
In truth, if you had shown the slightest hint of compassion on the day she came for help, her son would not have died, neither would she have.
Tell me, how could she not hate you? How could she not entangle you with her son in her death, chasing and beating you, demanding your life?”
What, her son died that very night? And she followed three days later?
Yet it was only over ten years later that he learned of the deaths of her and her son.
