On a snowy night when she was eighteen, the grand gate opened before her. An aged voice rang out above her: "From now on, he is your uncle." A noble and benevolent man then knelt before her...
Chapter 204 Separation
"It's already a mess, are you going to stir it up even more?"
"Did I mess things up? What did I do all this for? She actually seduced her adulterer to come to the old house, and you still say I messed things up?"
"Chen Yuehuai, I know you've always been very indulgent towards her, but indulgence has to have a limit. She has done something like this, do you still want to whitewash it all?!"
"How are you going to handle this matter? Give me a precise answer today, otherwise I won't give up."
Shen Sangsang lay on the bed, listening to the voice of Old Madam Shen, who was constantly aggressive outside.
There was no change in her facial expression; her gaze was just fixed quietly on the door.
Later, Madam Shen said something else, but Shen Sangsang didn't listen any more and began to wander in outer space.
I don't know how much time has passed, and it started to get quiet outside the door. When the door of the ward was pushed open, Shen Yuehuai walked in from outside.
Shen Sangsang immediately looked towards the door.
Shen Yuehuai stood at the door and looked at her, and Shen Sangsang, who was sitting on the bed, also looked at him.
When Shen Yuehuai walked to her bedside, he whispered, "From today on, you'll be on your own."
Those words seemed to be saying that this was the last time he would protect her, the last time he would forgive her for these things.
Shen Sangsang listened to his words without saying anything.
The ward was so quiet, so quiet that Shen Sangsang couldn't even feel any human voice in the room.
Shen Yuehuai didn't say anything more about this matter, because he had said everything he needed to say, and everything he shouldn't say. From now on, it was up to her to take care of herself.
This was his last bit of tenderness towards her.
Disappointed?
It would be a lie to say I'm not disappointed.
From the time he returned to China to the time they hastily got married, during such a long period of time, he had asked countless times late at night, how could this person become like this?
In the meantime, he actually thought about giving up on her, but every time in the end, there was always a voice in his heart telling her not to.
Don't worry, give her another chance.
Just give her... one more chance.
It was through these opportunities that his and her paths had reached this point.
It is even getting closer and closer to a desperate situation.
In fact, he had thought of ways to ease the relationship between the two, but... this was obviously no longer something he wanted to do.
Shen Yuehuai looked at the girl on the bed, her eyes devoid of any emotion.
"After you are discharged from the hospital, you can go back to the villa and live there."
He didn't say where he was going, but Shen Sangsang understood what he meant, and she raised her face to look at him again.
Shen Yuehuai stood quietly in her sight for a few seconds, and after a few seconds, he turned away from her.
But the moment he turned around, he paused again and looked at her again: "Calm down for a while. If you really can't figure it out, I will accept separation."
When Shen Sangsang heard these two words, she didn't react. She looked into his eyes, trembling slightly.
He looked a bit pitiful.
At least that was the case in Shen Yuehuai's eyes. He could not stand seeing her look pitiful. Although he was not sure whether she was as sad as she looked, he did not feel the slightest bit of sympathy towards her today. He just turned around and left the ward resolutely.
The room was very quiet, so the sound of his departing footsteps seemed particularly heavy and deep.
Shen Sangsang lowered her eyes and listened to his footsteps fading away. When the door was closed, she raised her face and her eyes fell on the door again.
Separation.
She pondered these two words in her mind.
It’s fine, she thought to herself, but she didn’t feel sad at all.
That afternoon, Shen Sangsang was sent back to their marital villa. Perhaps the servants here had heard about her, so every servant looked at her with a lot of emotions.
Shen Sangsang ignored their gazes and just walked upstairs step by step.
When she reached the bedroom door, she pushed it gently. Shen Yuehuai was not inside, and the room was filled with silence.
Shen Sangsang stood at the door for a while before walking into the room.
She told herself that she just needed to stay quiet and wait for the situation to develop.
She knew that Shen Yuehuai would eventually execute Zhou Shiran.
Even if he doesn't love her at all, as a man, he should not tolerate his wife acting out a love affair with another man. And what about Zhou Shiran?
Shen Sangsang knew that his side was not over yet.
He should have follow-up actions, right?
…
Zhou Shiran stayed at Ying's house for almost two days. After two days, Ying Nvidia asked him to go to the study.
After Zhou Shiran received the notice, he naturally went to the study. After arriving at the study, he called out, "Dad."
When Nvidia heard him say "Dad", he put a plane ticket on the table.
Zhou Shiran didn't understand at first. When his eyes fell on the check, he looked at Nvidia again: "What does this mean?"
"In a few days, you can go abroad and read more books."
Zhou Shiran frowned: "Is this what you mean?"
Ying Wei Da didn't expect that he would dare to question him at this time. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "You caused such a ridiculous thing, and you still want to stay in the country?!"
Zhou Shiran knew very well that this was not a decision made by Nvidia alone, and there must be other participants in this decision.
So, who is that person?
Shen Yuehuai? These two words popped up in his mind.
In fact, it is not difficult to let him go. For him, staying in the country is completely optional. However, there is one thing that makes it impossible for him to agree to leave at the moment.
He didn't argue, but reached out and picked up the plane ticket on the table and said, "I will leave, but not now. If you want me to leave, let me take care of everything I need to do first."
Ying Weida listened to his words, his eyes fell on his face, his brows furrowed. "Are you negotiating with me? What can you do?!"
Zhou Shiran still didn't argue or explain: "You don't need to care about me."
He said this and left the room with the plane ticket.
Ying Wei Da didn't expect him to be like this. He was so angry that he stood up from his chair, pointed at the person who left the study, and said, "I'm telling you, there is no room for bargaining in this matter. If you are asked to leave, you must leave--"
Zhou Shiran walked out of the study without looking back, then went straight downstairs and out of Ying's house.
Ying Wei Da, who was sitting in the study, heard footsteps coming down the stairs. He immediately chased after them. When he saw Zhou Shi Ran coming down the stairs, he asked loudly, "You rebellious son, where are you going?!"
