Chapter 776 Chapter 769 Letting Go
776: Chapter 769: Letting Go 776: Chapter 769: Letting Go Sisi called He Xuewen regarding matters of the Dan Yu Family, as he was the most knowledgeable about them.
Speaking in the Shanghai dialect, she explained the issues, and He Xuewen was surprised to find out anyone from the Dan Yu Family was still alive.
He thought for a moment and asked Sisi to bring Ah Shen to the He Residence; he needed to see him personally.
“I’m taking you to meet my father.
He is the one who has the final say on this matter.
If he agrees, I will have no objections,” Sisi said to Ah Shen in R language.
She asked Shangguan and Zhang Jie to take the children away first, while she took Ah Shen to the He Residence.
The He Residence was not far from Yun Mansion, and it was not a very large courtyard, about the same size as the Hetian Family’s—home to He Xuewen and Mo Ye in Capital City for temporary stays.
Mo Ye was at home listening to records and was happy to see Sisi, taking out iced watermelon for her and Ah Shen to enjoy.
He Xuewen returned quickly, and Ah Shen repeated those words in front of him, speaking earnestly.
In fact, Sisi had long believed what Dan Yusen said; she did not feel any malicious intent from him—nor any kindness, for that matter.
They were just two strangers who had never met before.
He Xuewen closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before speaking, “Ah Nan, give him medicine.
I’ll handle the passport matters.”
Sisi raised her eyebrows in surprise, not expecting He Xuewen to agree.
Considering He Xuewen’s hatred towards the Dan Yu Family, letting Dan Yusen live was already quite generous.
He Xuewen chuckled, his expression seeming much lighter.
“When will the cycle of revenge end?
Besides, the grudges of the previous generation are already settled.
There’s no need to hold onto them anymore.
Daddy recently met a master who told him that his obsession was too deep and he needed to learn to let go.
Now, it seems that letting go truly makes one feel much lighter.”
Sisi had no objections; since the person involved let go, what was there for her to cling to?
Still, who was this master, able to convince Daddy to abandon his lifetime of grudges in just a few words?
His persuasive skills were impressive, even more astute than that old monk Jiechen at the Big Buddha Temple!
Master Jiechen: Who’s talking about this old monk?
Haha, the last time I met a big fat sheep, it was so easy to dupe, even more generous than that pretty little sheep before.
Now, my Scripture Pavilion can finally start operating!
He Xuewen solemnly told Ah Shen, “We’ll give you the medicine, and we’ll handle the passport.
The grievances between our He Family and your Dan Yu Family are hereby resolved.
From now on, we are no more than strangers.”
Ah Shen replied happily, “Thank you, thank you.
Rest assured, Mr.
He, I’ve never thought of seeking revenge.
I just want to live a good life—we have no grudge between us.”
He Xuewen suddenly laughed, thinking that Dan Yu Yilang—his cunning grandfather—probably never expected this, that his meticulously nurtured grandson would actually give up on revenge!
Ah Shen: As a lone figure, without money or people, how would I even seek revenge?
Sisi went to the wine cabinet and took out a five-kilogram jar of medicinal wine, handing it to Ah Shen, “Apply and ingest this simultaneously; as long as there’s breath left, it can save a life.”
He Xuewen interjected, “Come to my place for the passport in ten days.”
Ah Shen hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly; he bowed with gratitude.
Sisi dropped him off at the school entrance where his car was.
After he got out, he turned back and said, “Seventh Mrs.
Jin is with me.
I got this notebook from her.
The Xu Family is chasing her because of it.”
Sisi was slightly taken aback, not expecting Xu Jiaojiao to be saved by Ah Shen.
Even less did she expect Xu Jiaojiao to steal Xu Family’s secret account book?
She really used her brain this time!
Xu Jiaojiao was confused: If I had known what that stupid notebook was for, I wouldn’t have taken it out and risked my life!
Sisi raised her eyebrow, asking him, “What are you planning to do with Xu Jiaojiao?”
Ah Shen shrugged, “Xue Ji and I are leaving for U Country in ten days.
What happens to her is none of my business.
Maybe the Xu Family will catch her and finish her off?”
Ah Shen: Silly woman, for the sake of those gold bars, I’ll help you just this once!
Sisi raised her brow again; was Dan Yusen pleading for Xu Jiaojiao?
But despite Xu Jiaojiao ending up in such a dire situation today, though half of it was her own doing, there was no denying she played a role in escalating the situation.
Compared to others in the Jin Family, Xu Jiaojiao was already considered a good person.
One could only say Xu Jiaojiao’s crime wasn’t severe enough to warrant death!
“I’ll go with you to have a look!” Sisi said.
Ah Shen was delighted inside; with Xue Ji’s injuries so severe, having He Sisi come to check would be great.
Maybe she’d soften seeing Xue Ji’s pitiful state and give some good medicine!
He got into his car to lead the way, and Sisi followed him to the outskirts.
Along the way, she called Zhang Jie to inform him of her destination, as she couldn’t entirely trust Ah Shen—better safe than sorry.
Arriving at an ordinary house, Ah Shen drove his car into the yard, and Sisi followed him in.
Ah Shen couldn’t help but admire this woman in front of him, daring to follow him alone.
Had it been him, he wouldn’t be so relaxed.
No wonder even her grandpa, such a formidable man, died at the hands of He Sisi!
Thankfully, he hadn’t become He Sisi’s enemy; otherwise, he’d likely have ended up like his grandpa!
Ah Shen felt quietly grateful.
Inside the house, Xu Jiaojiao was applying ice to Xue Ji, who lay lifelessly on the bed, barely clothed, her chest gently rising and falling.
She had been running a high fever for days, conscious only occasionally and unconscious more often.
Fortunately, Xu Jiaojiao, though a quack doctor, was still a doctor and knew basic medical skills.
She’d been administering drips and tending to wounds, slowing the worsening of Xue Ji’s condition.
Xue Ji’s body temperature was dangerously high, and the ice melted quickly; Xu Jiaojiao sighed and replaced the ice, wrapping it in a towel to cool Xue Ji.
As a woman herself, Xu Jiaojiao felt deep compassion and a shared sense of sorrow for Xue Ji’s plight, tending to her with extra care.
Sisi followed Ah Shen in, ready to enter the house, when Ah Shen suddenly asked, “Aren’t you afraid I might have set an ambush here?”
Sisi chuckled, countering, “Aren’t you afraid I might leak your location to the Jin Family?”
Ah Shen laughed, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and gestured a ‘please’ inviting Sisi inside.
Sisi confidently stepped forward; if not for Space as her backup, she wouldn’t be so bold.
Others might rely on skills for courage, but she had Space in hand and feared nothing!
Seeing Sisi coming in, Xu Jiaojiao jumped up in fright, dropping the towel onto the floor.
“He Sisi, are you here to arrest me?” Xu Jiaojiao cried out like a startled bird, her heart suddenly overcome with sorrow.
Had Ah Shen turned out to be untrustworthy too?
She herself hadn’t realized she’d subconsciously begun to rely on Ah Shen, placing all her trust in him.
Now seeing Ah Shen bring her enemy along, she instinctively felt he’d betrayed her, overwhelmed with sadness.
Aware of this silly woman’s grief, Ah Shen felt perplexed, glaring at her, “Are you all brains of a pig?
Miss He is here at my special request to treat Xue Ji, so quickly serve the tea!”
Realizing she wasn’t there to arrest her, Xu Jiaojiao felt a weight lift from her heart and promptly set aside her grievances with Sisi to prepare tea.
Sisi observed the dynamic between the two of them, finding it quite amusing and harmonious, involuntarily glancing at Ah Shen with an unusual thought crossing her mind.
Could it be that Ah Shen and Xu Jiaojiao…?
