Chapter 60
Su He was going to move back to the center of Gwangju from the backyard of the tavern. Actually, he didn't have much belongings to pack, just a few manuscripts he had written when he had nothing to do, which were still kept in the staff dormitory in the backyard.
Sheng Jinyu drove him back to get his things, and Su He wanted to say goodbye to the people here.
It was not a holiday, so the store was very quiet. When Su He walked in, several store clerks were gathered together chatting. When they saw him coming, they all waved and greeted him. However, they did not expect that there was someone following Su He. For a moment, they looked at each other with gossipy smiles on their faces.
Sheng Jinyu followed Su He into the store. He was tall and long-legged, wearing a casual suit. He stood at the door and talked on the phone, making the decoration of the store look high-end.
Someone recognized this face and whispered gossip to Su He. Su He laughed it off and would not reveal anything about Sheng Jin to outsiders.
Cui Huan, however, was enjoying the fun, glancing between the two men with an ambiguous look. Finally, he nudged Su He's shoulder and asked him, "Is this the young master of Shengda who made you miss him so much?"
Su He's face turned slightly red, and he couldn't say anything to refute, so he could only remain silent and change the subject.
"Is Boss Yang here? I'm leaving and want to say something to her." Su He asked.
"You're leaving!?" Cui Huan was surprised at first, but then he continued to wipe the table with his chin in his hand, muttering, "Well, you weren't going to stay here anyway. The boss is in the backyard, you can see him when you go in."
Su He nodded, turned into the backyard through the back door, and saw Boss Yang watering the sunflowers planted on the field.
Yang Yin seemed to know what he was here for. After a few pleasantries, she asked Su He to go in and pack his things. When he came out with a shoulder bag, Yang Yin casually grabbed a large and plump sunflower, wrapped the stem with floral paper, and stuffed it into his hand.
"There's nothing here for you to take away. Take it back and eat it." She said casually.
Su He took it with a smile. He thought about it and still had something to say to her. Seeing that he was standing still, Boss Yang walked over thoughtfully and asked, "Want to talk?"
"He's outside. Don't you want to see him?" Su He said tentatively.
Yang Yin paused and understood who Su He was talking about. There was no expression on her face, and her long hair half covered her eyes, making it impossible to tell her emotion.
"He ever mentioned me to you? He was only 14 when I left. It's been so many years, I thought he had forgotten about me."
Su He said: "He has been looking for you. Although I don't know what happened between you two, I think this is an opportunity."
"Do you hope that we can regain the love between mother and son?" Yang Yin smiled gently.
"I'm sorry, there was no such thing from the beginning. Their birth was not my wish, and I know very well that I have never fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother. If you knew how I left the day I left, you wouldn't think he still wanted to see me."
Su He didn't know what to say. He really had no right to act as a glue between the mother and son.
The talented scientific researcher who had been imprisoned for fourteen years finally prepared to escape after countless failures and had carefully planned for many years.
Something important happened that day, and there were not many people in the villa. She made a chocolate pie for her son by herself, adding a small amount of crushed peanuts, which as expected triggered a severe allergic reaction in Sheng Jin.
The teenage boy was almost in shock. Yang Yin held the child and screamed at the top of her lungs, demanding to go to the hospital. In a panic, the villa's security captain reluctantly agreed and drove them to the hospital.
At night, the car set out from the villa halfway up the mountain. When it reached halfway up the mountain, she finally jumped out of the car and fled into the dense forest. After running wildly all night, she finally smelled the air of freedom.
Sheng Jin also suffered from low immunity and the sequelae of headaches at that time.
He has never been a stupid kid since he was young. Things like accidentally eating allergic ingredients would never happen normally, but if it comes from the hands of someone you have always longed for and want to get a little love from, it doesn't matter what it tastes like.
How can I not feel resentment after being treated so cruelly?
Su He bit his lip unconsciously. When he came to his senses, he had already bitten a small cut at the corner of his mouth. The fishy and salty taste of blood spread in his mouth, which was indescribably bitter.
He didn't know how to comment on the fact that a man committed a crime that caused his closest relatives to turn against him and bear the consequences.
Before either of them could say anything, a male voice suddenly came from behind them: "Young Master, why are you standing here?"
Su He and Yang Yin looked towards the voice, and Sheng Jinyu walked out from the shadow of the corridor. Su He subconsciously walked towards him and quietly held Sheng Jinyu's cold hand.
The hand paused, then turned around and grabbed Su He's fingertips with great force.
Qiu Ming glanced at Yang Yin, walked over, put his arm around her shoulders, and said, "We'll meet sooner or later. Now that we're here, why don't you just talk it out."
Su He finally remembered something and said to him, "Uncle Qiu, are you Aunt Yang's..."
"Yes, I am Yin Yin's fiancé. We were planning to get married, but then something happened and I almost died. It was Patriarch Sheng who helped me and kept me here."
Everything matched up. It turned out that Yang Yin's fiancé was not dead. He had been lying dormant for many years in order to seek revenge and to completely free Yang Yin from Sheng Zonglan's shadow.
The atmosphere became silent. No one spoke first to greet each other, and there was no joy of reunion after a long separation. They just stared at each other from a distance.
After a long silence, Yang Yin spoke first: "How are you and your sister doing lately?"
It was a very standard greeting, but it held special meaning at this moment. Sheng Jin said calmly, "She did what she wanted to do."
"What about you?" Yang Yin continued to ask.
Su He saw Sheng Jinyu's brows slightly frowned, which was his usual expression when he was anxious and entangled. Su He didn't say anything, but just kept rubbing the back of Sheng Jinyu's hand with his thumb.
Sheng Jinyu glanced back at him and said to Yang Yin, "I used to think I couldn't do it. No matter what I wanted, I couldn't get it. Now I realize that I was too stubborn."
"I found what I wanted, and this time, he also cherishes me." Sheng Jinyu said calmly.
But Su He could feel that his fingertips were actually trembling slightly, but he was restraining it, so it was not obvious.
Yang Yin smiled knowingly.
"I failed to give you a healthy childhood, but fortunately you grew up to be a healthy child. Ah He is also a good child. I hope you will live a good life in the future." She gave her simple blessings.
After a while, Sheng Jinyu nodded.
After they returned to Guangzhou that day, Su He moved out of Xiaoxie Garden. At first, Sheng Jinyu disagreed, but then he thought that it was not safe enough to be with him now.
It would be better to let Su He move out and hire a few bodyguards to guard him 24 hours a day.
The house was chosen for him by Sheng Jinyu, a large flat by the Guangzhou River. Su He used part of the publishing copyright fee to pay the down payment and did not accept Sheng Jinyu's proposal to pay him the full amount.
The young master was very upset about this and felt that he was useless.
In order to appease people, Su He invited him to be the first visitor to the new home. He had originally prepared some small activities that night, such as watching a movie and having some drinks. Unexpectedly, before he got to that part, he was thrown onto the bed by Sheng Jinyu.
It was not until the next afternoon that he struggled to get up, holding his aching waist, that he regretted not getting Sheng Jin drunk first.
In the next few months, Su He kept a low profile.
He did not appear in public with Sheng Jinyu. As for Sheng Jinyu's plan at that stage, he was a complete outsider and did not get involved at all.
It wasn't until the Chinese Valentine's Day of the next year that several legal officers came into Su He's house with a stack of documents, spread them out on the table, and asked him to sign without saying anything.
At that time, Sheng Jin was standing on the balcony talking about something, so he had his mouth free to let him sign. It was not an important thing.
Su He was skeptical and signed one document after another. Few of them were written in Chinese, and there was one document written purely in French. Su He could barely recognize the title, and it turned out to be a marriage application form.
He signed his name so carelessly, but he was still not at ease afterwards, so he stopped Assistant Fang to ask what was going on.
Although he knew that Sheng Jinyu would not harm him, he still wanted to know what those things were.
Assistant Fang smiled and said, "That's the property transfer certificate under the young master's name. It includes half of his shares in Sheng's, three fleets, a winery, a horse farm... and the house in Xiaoxie Garden. Now it's all yours."
Su He's hair stood on end for a moment. It was the first time he knew that Sheng Jin had so many businesses under his name.
But this is not the point. The point is that Sheng Jin gave it to him without saying a word?
What is this?
Dowry!?
Could it be that his former boss just left a salary card for himself?
He hurriedly pulled Sheng Jinyu over and said anxiously, "Why are you giving me all this? I don't know how to manage money or run a business. What if you squander it all?"
Sheng Jinyu raised the corner of his lips: "What do you think of my performance during this period?"
Su He was stunned, vaguely remembering a few months ago when they were at the racetrack and Sheng Jinyu asked him if he would agree to the proposal. What he seemed to say at that time was "It depends on your performance."
…
There's no need to be so generous. You'll scare people half to death.
After getting married inexplicably, Su He became a small wealthy man with tens of millions of assets. He couldn't even sleep. That night, Sheng Jin moved into his house openly and hugged Su He's waist from behind.
He buried his whole face in Su He's back, feeling more relaxed than ever before.
His voice was muffled, and it made Su He's back itch. He said, "It's over. No one will threaten you anymore."
Su He looked at the moonlight outside the window, then turned over, held Sheng Jinyu's head in his arms, and patted his back slowly: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
As for what Sheng Jinyu had done, Su He did not ask. He only knew that there was a major reshuffle within the Sheng family, and Sheng Zonglan was investigated for major illegal transactions. After the classification and sentencing, he was afraid that he would never be able to get out of this life.
However, before going to prison, Sheng Zonglan was involved in a car accident and turned into a vegetative state, neither alive nor dead, and could stop breathing at any time.
As New Year's Eve was approaching, Yang Yin said she wanted to come to the hospital to see Sheng Zonglan.
Sheng Jin and someone were sent to pick him up, and Su He accompanied him into the ward area. Yang Yin pushed the door open and went in. Su He said, "We'll wait for you outside."
As soon as he finished speaking, before he even closed the door, Yang Yin raised her hand swiftly and slapped Sheng Zonglan four times, front and back, with each slap being loud and crisp, and directly threw his oxygen mask to the ground.
In less than half a minute, the person on the bed was struggling to breathe like a fish about to die of thirst, and the detection instruments around him kept sounding dangerous alarms.
The medical staff rushed in and ran towards the bed. Yang Yin calmly turned around and walked to the door, saying to them, "Let's go back."
On New Year's Eve, Xiaoxie Garden was bustling with activity.
Yang Yin stayed. She hadn't seen Sister Ling for many years and had a lot to talk about. Qiu Ming brought her a cup of warm water, placed it on the table where she could reach it, and sat quietly aside.
On the sofa, Yan Yichen was playing rock-paper-scissors with S037. Whoever won could stick a note on the other's face.
His parents are both abroad and only celebrate New Year's Day and Christmas. At this time of year, Yan Yichen, who has friends all over the world, has no worries about having a place to stay and can stay wherever he wants.
"Hey! What's going on, 037? I taught you to cheat, and you're still cheating at rock-paper-scissors!"
"I didn't. The system just froze. I wanted to use the scissors."
"Bullshit, Sheng Jinyu has no money to pay the electricity bill for your server? How could your system be stuck?"
"You're talking dirty, shame on you!"
Yan Yichen was so angry that he shouted, "Sheng Jinyu! Can you stop caring about your AI? Is there any justice in this world?"
A leisurely voice came from the side: "It's not mine now, it's Su He's. The house under your feet is also his."
"You're so awesome! You're going to hand over everything to me after you get married, right? Why didn't I realize you're such a good man before?" Yan Yichen sneered with gritted teeth.
"037, don't bully me," Su He said, carrying a bowl of cat food mixed with freeze-dried food and walking towards the cat climbing frame in the side hall. "You should respect the spirit of competition and not cheat to win nine to one."
Then Yan Yichen screamed and accused the couple of working together to bully others.
"Xiaohe, it's time to eat."
Su He put the cat food bowl on the ground. The calico cat had grown a beautiful long tail and was wagging its tail as it rushed over to rub against his hand.
This name was given by Sheng Jin. He said at the time that since Su He didn't want to be called Xiaohe, he would let Xiaomao take his place. Su He didn't know why he was so obsessed with this name, but he just let him be.
After dinner in the evening, there was a fireworks display in Linjiang Park next to Xiaoxie Garden, and the sound of huge fireworks filled the night sky.
Su He turned around but couldn't find Sheng Jinyu. Just as he was about to call him, Sheng Jinyu called before him and said, "Come out. I'll take you to see the fireworks."
"good!"
"Wear more clothes, it's cold outside."
Su He was wearing a thin coat, and as soon as he opened the door, he shivered at the cold wind blowing in his face.
He thought about it and took off his coat. He was too lazy to go upstairs to get more clothes, so he just took Sheng Jin's wool coat hanging at the entrance and put it on.
The length of the shirt fell below the knees and the sleeves were a little longer, just enough to keep warm.
As soon as he went out, he saw Sheng Jinyu standing in the garden, extending his hand towards him. Su He took two steps and found that it was snowing in Guangzhou again.
Affected by the cold wave moving south this year, the snow this year is surprisingly heavy, spreading a thin layer on the ground.
Sheng Jinyu took his hand, put it in his pocket, and walked towards Binjiang Avenue. The two of them walked slowly in the snow. There were not many people on the road, and they were gathered in groups of three or four, all coming to watch the fireworks show.
There will be countless opportunities to have such pleasant times in the future. When we reach the end of the avenue, we will start to turn back.
Su He stopped at the railing and shrank his neck because of the shock of a huge firework ball in the sky.
The city lights on the opposite bank are reflected on the rippling river surface, and fireworks appear from time to time, exploding into a golden light.
"Are you cold? Let's go back..."
Before Sheng Jinyu could finish his sentence, Su He called him. He turned around and was caught off guard by a ball of snow hitting his face, and his eyelashes were covered with a layer of white frost.
"You attacked me by surprise?" Sheng Jinyu glared.
Su He's nose was red, and he rubbed his cold hands together, looking at him with a cheerful smile: "The sneak attack was successful, I allow you to fight back."
Sheng Jin snorted and actually pretended to pick up a ball of snowflakes. Just as Su He was about to cover his face with his hands, he saw him throw the snowball into the river. He shook his hands and said, "With your small body, I'm the one who's worried if you catch a cold or a fever."
Su He smiled with his eyes curved.
The hot breath he exhaled created a white mist before his eyes. He beckoned Sheng Jinyu with a finger. Sheng Jinyu seemed to think he had bad intentions, but he still lowered his head. "What are you doing?"
Su He suddenly sucked on his lips with a loud sound.
"Happy New Year's Eve, Sheng Jinyu."
"It doesn't snow often in Guangzhou, but I can watch it with you whenever it snows in the future."
Sheng Jinyu looked at Su He's pupils illuminated by the light, and felt the excitement surging in his heart, surging like a tide, and lasting for a long time.
He raised his hand and held Su He in his arms. The two hot bodies hugged each other in the cold winter, and both of them were warmed.
"Okay, let's watch it together."
