There were still many letters to Xu Jie on the table, but Wenyan didn’t continue to read.
Her eyes were beginning to burn, and if she kept reading, she feared she might not be able to keep from crying, which would be quite embarrassing.
“Thank you, Director Wang, for letting me know all this!”
“It’s what I should do. If you like, you can take these letters with you. Xu Jie hasn’t seen any of them; there should be some more in the warehouse. I will have someone find them all later. If you see him again, you could pass them on to him. You will see each other again, won’t you?”
Although she never mentioned her relationship with Xu Jie to Director Wang, Wenyan felt that the director was very perceptive, as if she saw through the struggle in her heart with just a glance.
Without waiting for Wenyan to answer her question, she continued.
“He may not have been a good father, for he never fulfilled his responsibility to you as a father should, but it was not his subjective choice. Your story has been very popular on the internet recently, and I’ve learned a bit about it. I heard that you spent your childhood in an orphanage. If you ever held resentment towards him for it, as his former supervisor, I hope you can try to forgive and accept him. He is a hero, not the scum who abandoned you and your mother. Of course, these are private matters between you two, and you can make whatever choice you wish. I am a stranger to you and should not interfere with your will, but this is just a sincere suggestion.”
All Wenyan could say was that the director was indeed worthy of the title; her motivational speaking was definitely skilled.
As it happens, she was the first person who seriously advised her to recognize Xu Jie, and she was quite persuasive, too.
However, Wenyan did not give an immediate, definite response.
“Thank you, Director Wang, I appreciate your concern. But these matters are indeed very sudden for me, and I need to think them over before I can make a decision.”
Director Wang nodded, “Understood. I believe that both you and Xu Jie need time. You sit here for a while longer; I’ll go find the rest of the letters.”
Director Wang seemed quite happy that Wenyan agreed to accept the letters; she felt it was a good start.
Director Wang left quickly.
For a while, only Wenyan and Shen Jingxiu remained in the room.
“Director Wang is very enthusiastic,” Shen Jingxiu started, “I didn’t expect her to earnestly persuade you like this.”
Wenyan nodded, “Neither did I. Actually, since that day I talked with him, everything that’s happened has been beyond my expectations. I think he must have been a very nice person before, or why would his old boss care about him so much after so many years? Logically, he has already left the unit, his leader really doesn’t need to be responsible for him anymore.”
“Indeed,” Shen Jingxiu looked at Wenyan and shared another little secret, “Actually, I don’t know Director Wang. The fact that we got to see the old confidential files today was all her doing.”
“What?” This surprised Wenyan, “I thought Director Wang was a contact you found.”
“I do have some connections in the city bureau, but not up to the director level. When I asked around, Director Wang heard about it and when she found out it was about Xu Jie, she took the initiative to meet me. She really has Xu Jie’s best interests at heart, and I believe he must have been a good person before.”

“Sigh,” remembering what Director Wang had just said, Wenyan couldn’t help but sigh, “He’s really not having an easy time now, living up to the word ‘hero.'”
Shen Jingxiu nodded, then asked Wenyan, “Does it feel a little less hesitant in your heart now?”
Wenyan chuckled lightly, “Indeed, I do feel a bit more enlightened.”
Shen Jingxiu looked at Wenyan and pursed his lips slightly, “As long as you’re not feeling so oppressed inside.”
As they were speaking, Director Wang returned.
She was just as amiable as before, “I found a bag for you, just right to fit everything in, otherwise it’s not easy to carry.”
Wenyan immediately reached out to take it, “Thank you.”
“No need to thank me. Shall we exchange contact information? If you want to know something later, or if you have any worries, you can talk to me. I was also present when your dad, Xu Jie, and your mom got engaged. Your mom, Wenrou, was a very beautiful girl, and I remember thinking at the time that if they had children, whether boys or girls, they would definitely be beautiful. And look at you now, how well you’ve turned out.”
