Chapter 453: Five Million Here, Leave My Son
Nowadays, if you search for "Chen Zhichu" on the Internet, you will no longer find the eldest daughter of the Shen family in Chengdu. The first one that pops up is a celebrity who has been in the limelight this year.
Shen Xiuli naturally saw it as well. He knew that his sister was dead, but whenever he heard the name "Shen Zhichu", he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart and would be stunned for a long time.
The year Shen Zhichu died, he didn't dare to come to the cemetery, because he forgot his mother's words and bullied Shen Zhichu endlessly, which caused her to leave this world so early.
After Shen Zhichu left, he was the only one left in the Shen family, without any relatives around him.
People only think of cherishing something when they lose it. He thought more than once about how good Chen Zhichu was in the past.
The first sound she uttered when she was just learning to speak was "Brother". But he was always angry and cold towards her, blaming her for his mother's death. He had never hugged her once in her life.
After Shen Zhichu inherited the Shen family, he became more and more dissatisfied with his sister. He called her an ungrateful person and used the most vicious words on her. During that time, he cursed her all day long, hoping that she would get sick and die soon.
Later, Shen Zhichu really fell ill, but she kept it a secret from anyone. He didn't even know how she got into the hospital to get the stomach cancer diagnosis. He didn't know when she had a miscarriage, and he didn't know when she got depression and was driven crazy by Li Jingshen.
What he didn't know was that the reason why Shen Zhichu was willing to stay with Li Jingshen even though he was hurt so deeply by Li Jingshen was because of him.
It was because Li Jingshen used him to threaten Shen Zhichu.
The funny thing is that he only learned all this from Qin Mo after Shen Zhichu's death. He had clearly bullied Shen Zhichu like that, and he was such a useless brother, so why did Shen Zhichu choose to protect him in this way?
Shen Xiuli couldn't help shedding tears when he thought of the past. In five days it would be Shen Zhichu's memorial day.
Time flies, and it has been four years since her death.
"Mom, I forgot the promise I made to you. I didn't protect her. I hurt her. If she were still here, she would definitely not forgive me, right?"
"Could it be your sister who is here to see you?"
Some people can apologize, repay, make amends and forget when they do something wrong, while there are other people who can only kneel in front of a tombstone and repent, suffering from guilt all day long.
Every time Shen Xiuli came to the cemetery, he would kneel for a long time and repent for the mistakes he had made.
"I abandoned her before. She asked me to save her, but I didn't even look back." If he had turned back in the underground casino that time, fulfilled his responsibility as a brother, taken Shen Zhichu away, and brought her to fight against Li Jingshen and protect her, Shen Zhichu would not have died without returning home.
Shen Zhichu was used to living in Chengdu. How did she get used to the hot summers and cold winters in J City? Her ashes were scattered in the sea. She was so afraid of the cold. Why did she think about the afterlife while she was still alive?
Qin Mo told Shen Zhichu a lot of things.
Shen Zhichu has never had a good day since she married Li Jingshen. On the day her father got into trouble and was sentenced, she didn't go out to fool around with other men. Instead, she was locked up in the bedroom by Li Jingshen. The internet cable was cut off and her cell phone was taken away. She was locked up in there for four whole days. Her stomach hurt so much that she had to eat toilet paper and painkillers to fill her stomach.
Qin Mo said that day, Shen Zhichu knelt in the heavy rain outside the court for half an hour. When she was sent to the hospital, she was covered in blood. He washed her stomach, and all that came out was bloody pulp. Shen Xiuli didn't know about this.
When Shen Zhichu was given a critical illness notice and her heart stopped beating, he was still outside drinking and cursing her to die quickly.
Shen Xiuli knelt on the ground with his head lowered. It was his curse that killed her.
Chen Xiuli looked at his prosthetic right hand and cried to himself, "It deserves to be broken. This is the punishment for abandoning her." He looked up at the two tombstones in front of him and the photos of his parents on them.
"Mom and Dad, I really know I was wrong..."
………
On the morning of the 23rd, Shen Zhichu and Bai Qiujing went to Haidu. They were still wearing down jackets before boarding the plane, but they took them off as soon as they got off the plane.
The average temperature in Haidu is 25 degrees, which is neither too cold nor too hot. Bai Qiujing had informed his mother in advance, and as soon as he got off the plane, he saw someone coming to pick him up.
It was the first time for Shen Zhichu to celebrate Chinese New Year at someone else's house, and it was also the first time for her to have so many people accompany her during the New Year. On New Year's Eve, she was finally not alone counting down the time.
Bai Qiujing was worried that Shen Zhichu would not be able to get used to living there, so Haidu arranged another house for him so that he could move back in after the Bai family paid their New Year's greetings.
When we arrived at the Bai family's house, Bai's mother was arranging New Year's goods. The Christmas tree they ordered had just arrived in the yard, and the servants were installing colorful lights on it.
There are a lot of decorations to put up for Christmas. Bai's mother likes colorful colors, but for the Chinese New Year, bright red is more festive. The couplets and lanterns have arrived, and we are just waiting to put them up.
Shen Zhichu slept for a while on the plane and didn't feel sleepy after getting off the plane, so he pulled Bai Qiujing to go and put up couplets and window decorations.
A star should be hung on the top of the Christmas tree, and it should be hung on the same day.
Christmas Eve and Christmas were both spent at the Bai family. Bai's mother was very warm to Shen Zhichu, but Bai's father never looked at Shen Zhichu straight in the eye.
Shen Zhichu noticed something was wrong early on, but he pretended not to know.
Bai Qiujing also has a younger sister, Bai Wanwan, and Shen Zhichu rarely talks to her.
I felt uncomfortable the first time I went to Bai Qiujing's house. Perhaps it was because I cared too much about the opinions of Bai Qiujing's family, and I seemed a little restrained in everything I did.
As soon as Christmas was over, Bai Qiujing took Chen Zhichu to another apartment to spend time alone.
One day, Bai Qiujing was called away by a phone call. Shen Zhichu was reading at home alone when the doorbell rang.
Chen Zhichu stood up and walked over. Instead of opening the door immediately, he looked outside through the peephole. It turned out to be Bai Qiujing's father and his sister Bai Wanwan.
What were this father and daughter doing here? Were they here to see Bai Qiujing? But their expressions looked off.
Shen Zhichu didn't think much about it. Since they were already here, he couldn't just close the door and not let them in. Shen Zhichu turned the doorknob and opened it.
"Hello, Uncle Bai." Shen Zhichu took the initiative to greet him, turned his gaze to Bai Wanwan, and nodded, "Wanwan."
Father Bai sneered coldly.
Shen Zhichu was confused. She could feel that Bai's father was hostile to her from the first time she met him, but she didn't know what she had done wrong.
This time, without Bai's mother around, Bai's father seemed even more hostile.
Father Bai has a strong aura, and his eyes reveal wisdom and majesty. Bai Qiujing's eyes are somewhat similar to his.
Shen Zhichu asked, "Would you like some tea?"
This Shen Zhichu didn't seem surprised at all that he was coming here, as if he had guessed it long ago. Father Bai took Bai Wanwan in with a deep voice.
After entering the house, Father Bai sat on the sofa and looked at Shen Zhichu who was fetching water to make tea. His tone was quite disdainful: "Miss Shen, your trick may have fooled my wife but not me. But I didn't expect you to be able to trick my little bastard so quickly and let him take you back to the Bai family in such a short time."
It seems that the purpose of coming here today is not simple. Shen Zhichushui did not answer and walked slowly to the other end of the sofa and sat down.
"Is this all Mr. Bai told me?"
Father Bai took out a check from his coat and put it on the coffee table: "Here is five million, leave my son."
