Ch 178: Who is He
Xiao Zheng and Lao Chen finished speaking, and the meeting room was instantly silent.
Everyone lowered their eyes and heads, mistakenly treating a good person as a swindler. They felt ashamed.
Du Qingyang lowered her head and pinched her fingers. The idea of arresting someone was her suggestion, it was her fault! If Mr. Zhong wants to sue her, she will accept it! However, if you do something wrong, you have to apologize first!
“Xiao Zheng, where is Mr. Zhong? I want to apologize to Mr. Zhong in person.” Suddenly, Du Qingyang raised her head and said sincerely.
“I also want to apologize to Mr. Zhong in person.”
“I’ll go too!”
“I’ll go too!”
Chen Nanmu, Teacher Zhang, and An Wei raised their heads and said one after another.
“Mr. Zhong has already returned to the Provincial Capital.”
Xiao Zheng said that after the truth was found out, Mr. Zhong took a car back to the Provincial Capital overnight.
Everyone lowered their eyes again. Mr. Zhong must have been disappointed with this place and was unwilling to stay any longer. Everyone’s guilt increased a bit.
How can we let a good person be disheartened?
“Xiao Zheng, can you tell me Mr. Zhong’s name and address? I’ll go to the Provincial Capital to apologize in person,” Du Qingyang asked again.
Unexpectedly, Du Qingyang was so sincere. Everyone was slightly stunned, and then agreed with this approach, and said that they would go to the Provincial Capital to apologize in person together.
However, Xiao Zheng waved his hand and refused.
“We can’t reveal his identity. Because he doesn’t want to, he just wants to donate anonymously.”
Last night, Xiao Zheng and Lao Chen wanted to invite Du Qingyang and the others to apologize to Xiang Xingzhong. However, Xiang Xingzhong refused.
“Please don’t tell them my identity.”
Xiang Xingzhong repeatedly told Xiao Zheng and Lao Chen not to reveal his identity information. So, they can’t say.
Why? Everyone looked disappointed, not expecting that they wouldn’t even have the opportunity to apologize in person. How can their conscience get over this?
“Mr. Zhong also said that he will not hold you accountable, nor will he blame you,” Xiao Zheng relayed Xiang Xingzhong’s words again.
The more generous Xiang Xingzhong was, the more uncomfortable everyone felt. They were judging a gentleman with the heart of a petty person.
“Two Police Comrades, please tell me his address information. I can’t live with my conscience if I don’t apologize to him in person,” Du Qingyang pleaded.
Everyone echoed her.
Everyone understood Mr. Zhong’s low profile, generosity, and great love. But, please accept their sincere apology.
Du Qingyang assured Xiao Zheng and Lao Chen that she really just wanted to apologize and would never disturb Mr. Zhong. If Mr. Zhong wants to keep a low profile, she also promised to respect Mr. Zhong’s wishes and not tell others the donor’s information.
Everyone agreed. Just let them know Mr. Zhong’s identity, and they will help keep the secret together.
No way! What kind of secret is it if everyone knows it?
Xiao Zheng and Lao Chen refused to tell Du Qingyang and the others no matter what. The two are trustworthy police officers, and they mean what they say.
In the end, Du Qingyang and the others didn’t know who Mr. Zhong was? Why donate huge sums of money to the students.
◈◈◈
On the other side, Xiang Xingzhong had already returned to his home in the Provincial Capital. Xiang Yueqin had already gone to school, and only Jiang Li was at home.
“Why are you back so late? Is everything done?” As soon as she saw Xiang Xingzhong, Jiang Li eagerly asked.
The donation was not complicated, but her husband went for three days. Could it be that her husband secretly went to see his son? As soon as this thought came out, Jiang Li felt resentment in her heart. Why didn’t she let her go with him?
If Jiang Li had gone with him, she might have secretly gone to see Xiang Zhihang. During these three days, Jiang Li was anxious in the Provincial Capital and almost went to the station to buy a ticket to Dong Town.
“It’s all done, 5,000 Yuan has been donated to the students,” Xiang Xingzhong replied simply, without revealing the misunderstanding. Being treated as a swindler was too embarrassing, and he couldn’t let anyone know.
“What about the son? Did you see him?” Jiang Li’s focus was obviously not on the donation.
Xiang Xingzhong turned his face and glared at Jiang Li. See what? Didn’t he say that now is not the time to meet?
“You really didn’t see him? Did you secretly go to see him without telling me?” Jiang Li didn’t believe it. If he didn’t secretly go to see his son, why would he stay for three days?
Xiang Xingzhong didn’t respond, with an attitude of being too lazy to pay attention to you, he turned around and prepared to go to the room to rest. He stayed in the police station for two days and in the car for one night, he was very tired.
Jiang Li refused to let it go, grabbing Xiang Xingzhong and asking if he had secretly gone to see his son?
“No! No! I didn’t go to see my son!” Xiang Xingzhong became impatient and could only keep repeating.
“Why didn’t you go to see him? He is your biological son! You arrived in Dong Town, arrived in San Nan Village, but you didn’t go to see him? Do you still have this son in your heart?” Jiang Li questioned loudly.
Jiang Li would be angry if her husband secretly went to see Xiang Zhihang. But, Jiang Li was even more angry if he didn’t go to see him!
Jiang Li’s eyes turned red, and she kept muttering.
He had already arrived at his son’s place, but he could be so cruel and not go to see him. Did he not plan on having this son anymore?
Jiang Li even began to feel that Xiang Xingzhong had been making excuses for the past ten years, and the so-called “now is not the time to recognize him” was just an excuse! Xiang Xingzhong just didn’t plan to recognize his son!
Jiang Li beat her chest and stamped her feet. Her son was a piece of flesh that fell from her body, and it pained her heart. How could Xiang Xingzhong understand?
“You heartless person, how can you not want your own biological son?” The more Jiang Li thought about it, the angrier and sadder she became. She took her imagination as the truth and reached out to beat Xiang Xingzhong.
Xiang Xingzhong ran all the way to Dong Town to donate money. When he arrived in Dong Town, he was misunderstood as a swindler and taken to the police station. He finally returned home, and as soon as he returned home, he was beaten and scolded by Jiang Li. Xiang Xingzhong also exploded.
“That’s right, I don’t even want my own biological son! What about you? Did you want him? Didn’t you abandon him back then?” Xiang Xingzhong questioned loudly, bringing up the old story.
Back then, Xiang Xingzhong and Jiang Li discussed it and jointly decided to send Xiang Zhihang for adoption. This was a pain in the hearts of the couple. For the past ten years, the two of them did not dare to mention that decision at all. The word “abandonment” was never dared to be said by the two of them. As soon as they heard these two words, their hearts were cut like a knife.
Today, Xiang Xingzhong actually mentioned it. It was the first time in more than ten years that he had mentioned “abandonment”. Probably, he was really physically and mentally exhausted and spoke without thinking.
The implication is, you also abandoned your son, why blame me? Furthermore, Xiang Xingzhong’s donation was to secretly compensate his son. It had already been agreed that it would be anonymous, so how could he go to see his son again?
He did want to see him. But, he didn’t dare.
Without guessing, his son must have resentment in his heart, which cannot be eliminated in a short time. The matter of recognizing each other is really not the right time. Why does Jiang Li always not understand and make trouble unreasonably?
Unexpectedly, Xiang Xingzhong would question her like this, directly piercing Jiang Li’s heart. Jiang Li was stunned at first, and then burst into tears with a “whoosh”.
