C68 (1/2)
That tone and words made Sheng Rui He's heart ache, but he quickly understood what she meant: ”Our home.” The right hand was so terrifyingly stubborn that it stretched out in front of her and waited.
As he was about to wait for her with all the patience of his life, her hand slowly reached out and placed itself in his, and tears ran down her cheeks, soaking the dark plums on the beautiful black print dress Xin Ran had given her.
The amount of information she had heard and associated with her was too heavy, causing her to fall asleep on his arm after getting on the car. Her face was pale from fear.
Even when he got out of the car, he stubbornly tried to coax her into a daze. The wheelchair bore the weight of two, and they slowly slipped into the villa in the middle of the mountain.
It had only been two days, but the place had already changed greatly.
Uncle Zhou was in charge of finishing up the work. All the sliding elevators were already running normally. The other elevator was still being built, and it was expected to be completed by tomorrow night at the latest.
When Uncle Zhou saw Sheng Rui He come in with Shen Chuxin in his wheelchair, his eyes immediately started to tear up. He felt guilty and remorseful as he stood there with his head lowered, not knowing what to say.
It was still Sheng Rui He who spoke. His indifferent tone revealed no emotions: ”Uncle Zhou, go get some water.”
It helped relieve Uncle Zhou's embarrassment.
Shen Chuxin had actually already woken up. It was just that she didn't have the strength to interrogate her for seven years. She had imagined countless times that everything was a nightmare. When she woke up in one night, everything went back to how it used to be.
Her parents would often not see her for half a year, and when she called back, they would spend most of the time at the French winery. Old Granny Sheng and ShengRui He had spent half a year a year coaxing her to go to the country, and she liked to hear stories about all sorts of weird things that had been passed on from her mouth for years. Sometimes when she slept, ShengRui He would carry her back to her room, and only after she woke up did she realize that she was supposed to be sitting on the sofa, listening to the old lady's story in front of the fireplace, but why she woke up in a comfortable room with a big bed … Had he always carried her back to her room with such thoughts in mind every time he had done this before?
The question was on the tip of his tongue when he suddenly thought of the remorse and indescribable pain in his eyes every time he looked at her.
Shen Yuxin didn't ask anything.
It was rare for the two of them to have a breakfast together for seven years the next day. When Shen Chuxin saw his deep disgust and patience when he was eating the yolk of the fried egg, she couldn't help but think of another small face. It turned out that the problem with Chen Chen's dislike of eating this kind of food was hereditary.
She had not known his preferences for so many years.
She lowered her eyes slightly, and when he raised her head to look at him, she missed his line of sight because she could no longer see him. After a night of rest and recovering her strength and spirit, she finally realized that she could no longer go back seven years ago.
Sheng Rui He was a workaholic, always forty minutes ahead of most people even seven years ago. He was almost the first person in the entire company other than an assistant to enter the building.
”Tell Uncle Zhou what you want to eat in the afternoon. If you feel bored at home, you can go to the company.” Reiko's outstretched hand hung awkwardly in the air as she turned away from him. He lowered it sadly, but when he thought of her willing to return to him, he felt that it was nothing compared to her fleeing.
Uncle Zhou hid and did not go upstairs. Shen Chuxin only saw him at noon.
”Miss, what would you like to eat at noon? I'll get ready in the kitchen. ”
”Uncle Zhou, what do you know about what happened seven years ago?” Shen Chu opened his mouth to ask, his eyes quietly looked at Uncle Zhou who had changed his face seven years ago.
That April night, she stood at the gate below and waited all night. The security guard at the gate told her that Mr. Sheng had instructed her that no one was to enter.
The same words were said at the gates of the Sheng family. Mr. Sheng had already said that neither the Shen family nor the Ruan family were allowed to enter.
All of this happened coincidentally a week after they lost control of themselves and almost scared her out of her wits …
Shen Yue didn't know if women were born to be detectives, but she connected all of these together to think about it, and at that time, where was Sheng Rui He?
”Miss, seven years ago …” Uncle Zhou looked at her eyes and lowered his eyes. He whispered, ”I don't know much.”
Mr. Sheng's actions had always been difficult for others to understand. How could he know what had happened all those years ago? However, when he knew everything, when Sheng Rui He came back from visiting old grannies, the Shen family had a lot of sleeping pills put on them in one night except for Shen Chuxin. In the villa's gas explosion, Shen Chuxin was the only one that survived.
By that time, she had already disappeared.
”Where was Sheng Rui He?” she asked.
Uncle Zhou was shocked and raised his head to look at her, ”The young master was not in the country then. I don't know what happened then, it's just that one night, when the young master came back from the hotel, he seemed to have lost his soul. Then, without bringing anything with him, he left home to visit the old lady.” By the time the young master returned, it was already too late … ”
