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 251
The year Shen Sangsang left, she traveled to many places and saw many landscapes. In the end, she lived in the country where Shen Zhou jumped to his death for several months.
During those months, she learned about the local customs and culture and tried the local specialties. Later, she went to the Shen family's casino and the building where Shen Zhou jumped off.
She suddenly understood why Shen Yuehuai had no time to come back in those two years.
In that barren country, this place is the only prosperous place.
She looked up at the high-rise buildings built by the Shen family. Looking at this vast expanse of decadence and extravagance, she fell into a silent silence.
She didn't know why she came here, maybe she wanted to fulfill a dream of hers.
She wanted to know what the place where Chen Zhou got lost was like, and how cruel the place where she lost her love was.
When she saw everything here with her own eyes, she found that if she were a sinking boat, she might not be able to withstand everything here.
After all, that's human nature.
Suddenly, she was completely and utterly relieved.
Later, she left that place and went to another country to continue her journey.
Later, she traveled to several countries, like a dandelion seed drifting in the wind. After wandering for a whole year, she returned home on the last day of the year.
On the day she returned to China, she got off the plane covered in dust, looking like a modern beggar.
After two in the morning, she finally found a hotel to stay in.
When she opened the door to the hotel room and her eyes fell on the familiar Chinese text, she was overwhelmed by a huge sense of loss.
She didn't know why, but she just felt extremely tired, the kind of tiredness that made her not even have the energy to speak.
She looked at the empty room and the familiar domestic decorations. Finally, she mustered up the remaining strength in her body and closed the door behind her.
The moment the door closed, she walked step by step towards the bed in the middle of the room, and finally, she fell on the bed.
The moment she fell on the bed, she opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling above her head, tears streaming down her face.
After a long while, she took her cell phone out of her pocket and clicked on a piece of news.
It was a black and white news story.
It was the news of the death of Mrs. Shen from the Shen Group.
In fact, she had seen this news before boarding the plane.
When she opened her phone again, she found that the whole country was filled with this news.
Shen Sangsang couldn't describe her feelings. She used to hate this person so much, she used to despise this person so much, but at this moment, she couldn't help but want to cry.
She thought of that snowy night, and the pair of wrinkled hands that led her back to the Shen family.
These hands had stroked her hair and gently held her hands.
It’s just that feelings are such a mysterious thing. The deeper the love was, the more hurtful the hatred will be afterwards.
She knew very well that the owner of those hands must have hated and cursed her until the moment of his death.
And what about her?
She should have been happy about the death of the Shen family, but she wasn't. She wasn't at all. She just felt sad.
The heavy sadness enveloped her entire heart, even making her feel a little breathless.
The black and white fonts hurt Shen Sangsang's eyes. Finally, she put the phone away from her eyes and then fell into a deep sleep.
…
She should never set foot on this land again.
The next morning, Shen Sangsang woke up with this thought in mind, but the moment she opened her eyes, she looked at the sunlight outside the window and fell into deep thought.
After about five minutes, she finally climbed up from the bed. When she got off the bed, she walked to the mirror cabinet in the bathroom to wash up, but when she raised her face, she saw her red and swollen eyes.
She gave herself a mocking smile in the mirror.
After Shen Sangsang took a refreshing hot bath, she changed her clothes and left the hotel room.
She took a taxi to the Shen family's old house, where there was a lot of traffic. It was New Year's Day, but the walls of the Shen family's old house were covered with white cloth.
The cars lined up in a long queue at the door were all hung with white cloths.
Shen Sangsang remembered such a scene, or it appeared when Mr. Shen died?
She didn't expect that the scene would happen again after so many years.
How would Shen Yuehuai feel?
Shen Sangsang sat in the rental house, her eyes looking towards the gate of the Shen family's old house.
She was too far away from the other side and her sight could not reach the inside of the door at all.
At this time, the driver asked: "Today is the day of Mrs. Shen's funeral. What is your relationship with the Shen family?"
The Shen family is well-known in South City. Even the driver knows that the Shen family is holding a funeral. Facing the driver's inquiry, Shen Sangsang thought for a few seconds before moving his pale lips and saying, "It doesn't matter. I'm just a spectator."
When the driver heard this, he said, "What's so good about a dead body? The traffic is so congested, we should leave early, otherwise we won't be able to leave later."
There was a heavy snowfall in the South City today. The snow on the road here was dug out bit by bit by hand.
Shen Sangsang knew that there would be another snowstorm, so she whispered to the driver, "Then let's go."
When the driver heard her words, he quickly turned the car around, and at the moment the driver turned around, a person walked out of the Shen family's gate.
The man was wearing black clothes and black pants, standing at the gate. His face remained the same, but he looked extremely thin.
There was no expression on his face, so his expression was particularly cold.
Shen Sangsang, who was sitting in the car, naturally saw him, but it was just a glance, and she quickly looked away. Why did she look away? It was because the person standing at the gate was looking straight at her.
Shen Sangsang didn't know if it was her illusion or she was overthinking it. She even subconsciously held her bag in front of the window to block the view.
The driver was frightened by her sudden action. He immediately looked at her and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Only then did Shen Sangsang realize how strange her actions had been. After hearing the driver's words, she immediately looked at him and said hurriedly, "Oh... the snow outside is swaying."
When she looked out the window again, the man had disappeared at the gate, leaving only a few bodyguards standing there.
The car also drove down the mountain at this time. She sat in the car, thinking to herself that she must be overthinking it. How could he know it was her, and among so many cars.
That glance must have shown that she was overthinking it.
Afterwards, Shen Sangsang calmed down and looked out the car window. The car drove all the way back to the hotel where she was staying.
After arriving at the hotel, she was cold all over, but instead of turning on the heating, she sat on the sofa in a daze.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. After hearing the knock, Shen Sangsang still did not react until the voice of the cleaning staff came from outside the door: "Hello, room service."
Shen Sangsang finally reacted. She stood up from the sofa, walked to the door and opened it.
The moment she opened the door, she saw Xu Jie.
Shen Sangsang subconsciously stepped back.
After a few seconds, she whispered, "What's wrong?"
Her voice was extremely cold, as if she was asking an uninvited guest, and this person was indeed an uninvited guest.
In response to her question, Xu Jie also whispered: "Boss Shen said you are back and asked me to come to your place."
Shen Sangsang was certain that he had indeed discovered him when he saw him at the Shen residence before.
She was confused as to how he had found her.
She frowned, and after a few seconds, she pursed her lips.
Xu Jie continued, "Did you come back because of Madam Shen's death?"
How is it possible? Shen Sangsang immediately refuted in her heart, but after the refutation, her heart was silent.
Xu Jie looked at her: "Boss Shen said that he wants you to come over."
"Why did you ask me to come over? It's unnecessary, right?"
"Madam Shen actually said your name in those few seconds after she left."
Shen Sangsang's originally tense face froze when she heard Xu Jie's words. Then, her gaze fell on Xu Jie's face for a long time.
Xu Jie whispered, "Just think of it as... a final send-off for her."
Shen Sangsang didn't want to have any connection with the Shen family at all, but sometimes, people always have some inexplicable feelings, and she couldn't completely put aside those inexplicable feelings.
She said in a low voice: "That's not necessary."
