Chapter 303: Chapter 303 Do Not Forget

How could Bo Jingshen dare forget?

Over five years ago, he was infected from a wound and came close to death several times, struggling on the brink of the underworld, escaping from the jaws of death.

He had borne so much pain through gritted teeth.

Only when his condition finally improved did Jiang Li come to him with a particularly troubled look, telling him that Su Lu had entrusted him with a message. But because his own injuries had been severe, he had not said anything until now, afraid to affect his own emotions.

It was also after his condition improved that Jiang Li dared to convey this.

Bo Jingshen had prepared himself mentally and asked Jiang Li what message Su Lu had sent.

Jiang Li stuttered like a wooden fish struggling to speak, unable to utter a word after a long while.

Then he handed over a tablet to him, "I really can’t repeat it, but luckily, it happened in Ying Xi’s hospital room, and there’s surveillance in the room. I asked the hospital to pull up the footage. You can watch it yourself."

In fact, Jiang Li had been troubled for a long time about having to relay the message.

He had no idea how to handle it; he remembered Su Lu’s words but not clearly enough to recount them verbatim to Bo Jingshen, which made his scalp tingle.

But if he were to reinterpret and rephrase the message himself, he feared he might not convey it accurately.

It was utterly frustrating until Ying Xi pointed to the surveillance camera in the corner of the hospital room ceiling and suggested that there should be video archives, and that he could simply retrieve and present them.

This private hospital had surveillance installed in the critical care VIP rooms to prevent medical disputes.

Jiang Li successfully retrieved the surveillance footage, and after watching it himself, he couldn’t help but gasp sharply, still unsure whether he should really let Bo Jingshen see it.

Ying Xi’s meaning at that time was that since these were Su Lu’s words for Bo Jingshen, he, as an intermediary, didn’t need to embellish or redact anything.

And so, the tablet containing the surveillance video was handed over to Bo Jingshen.

Bo Jingshen braced himself mentally before tapping open the video.

The hospital’s surveillance quality was very good; not only was the picture clear, but the sound was also crystal clear.

At that moment, he watched almost greedily as the woman on the screen, with her haggard appearance, looked exhausted and frail, with a tinge of sadness.

Bo Jingshen had never dreamed that Su Lu would speak harshly.

He had imagined a hundred times Su Lu being angry, very angry. But since he had hardly ever seen Su Lu speak harshly, he couldn’t envision it, not preemptively resolved for the emotional pain.

So much so that when he heard Su Lu’s words, he was knocked off his feet for several days, completely stunned by the language, even though time had passed and it was now over five years later.

Bo Jingshen also dared not forget a single word of what Su Lu had said then, nor had he ever forgotten for a moment.

"Perhaps he’s been making excuses for my benefit, hiding the truth from me. Perhaps everyone in the know is inclined to understand his predicament, even I might understand if I heard his reasoning. But I am tired, I no longer wish to wait for him to tell me his troubles."

"He chose to exclude me from the matter today, no matter how dangerous or troublesome it might be, he chose to deceive me, to exclude me without a word—essentially, he pushed me away. So from now on, please hide his troubles well and never let me find out. I don’t want to know, nor do I want to forgive him."

"I will never forgive. Once, I, Su Lu, was not even afraid of death for him. And now, I don’t even deserve a bit of the right to know. He says he’s engaged and he’s engaged, tells me to wait for him and I wait, and now... forget it."

This speech, less than three hundred words in length, Bo Jingshen could recite every single word from memory.

Time had not erased the pain and hurt these words brought at all, whenever he thought of them, they still had full destructive power, stabbing him viciously.

She would never forgive.

And now, she reminded him not to forget.

Bo Jingshen’s voice was hoarse, "I haven’t forgotten."

"That will do," Su Lu nodded, steering the conversation back, "The reason we met today has little to do with me, Su Lu. You’ve met Xiao Le, and he recognized you."

Bo Jingshen looked deep into Su Lu’s eyes, although he clearly knew that in the current situation, his position really did not qualify him to ask such a question.

But he couldn’t help himself and asked, "Why did he recognize me?"

Bo Jingshen really didn’t expect that he would be recognized by the child, that the child would come to him on his own.

He was both taken aback and overjoyed.

Su Lu pursed her lips, her eyes slightly downcast.

Bo Jingshen knew her, even knew what each subtle expression of hers meant; right now she was clearly evasive but still did not shy away from his question.

Su Lu said, "It was a rush when I left, and I had to sell the house quickly, so Cheng You Ran bought it. She bought it and didn’t make any changes, just had someone clean it regularly. The first time I took Xiao Le back to Feng City, we stayed in our old house, and in that house... Xiao Le saw the paintings I had done."

Su Lu continued, no longer avoiding his gaze but meeting it directly, only the corners of her mouth curved in self-mockery, "As you know, you were the only one in my heart at the time, I drew many pictures of you. Lifelike, incredibly vivid, the child saw them and remembered them, naturally recognizing you, nothing surprising about that."

She said it was not surprising.

How could it not be surprising? These words struck Bo Jingshen’s heart like a hammer, shaking him, causing him pain.

Yes, once she loved him so much.

Once he could have been so happy.

Bo Jingshen took a deep breath, fingers under the table digging fiercely into the palm of his hand, he nodded, "Mhm, go on."

"Xiao Le likes you, thinks you’re good-looking and nice to him, and thinks you might be a good dad," Su Lu looked at him, "I really want to blame you, if it wasn’t for you, Xiao Le wouldn’t have suffered this time, but the world of a child is always innocent and clear."

Bo Jingshen asked softly, "You never told him about our past?"

"What’s there to say? Let him know how you abandoned me? Telling a child that his father left his mother is not an appropriate thing to do," Su Lu said, her voice very calm, devoid of any sarcastic emotion.

Even though she got somewhat emotional upon seeing Bo Jingshen, in fact, she had learned how to calmly face the pain of the past.
