Chapter 104 Human Life
It was the staff who came in pushing the breakfast. The staff did not say anything, but placed the breakfast on the table very quietly.
Shen Sangsang was sweating all over last night, so she went to the bathroom to take a shower. After Shen Yuehuai finished washing up, he waited for her at the dining table for dinner.
After Shen Sangsang came out of the shower, she looked at Shen Yuehuai who was sitting at the dining table. She then walked towards the dining table and sat down.
She asked, "Why are you here?"
Hearing her words, Shen Yuehuai put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at her: "I was supposed to come tomorrow."
Shen Sangsang understood what he meant by this sentence.
And Shen Sangsang fell silent again in response to his words.
Shen Yuehuai knew that she would not say anything else, so he spoke again: "I received the cake that day."
"As long as you like it."
"Why did you leave that day?"
He asked her.
"No reason."
She lowered her head and stirred the milk in the cup with a spoon, and the sugar cube spun at the bottom of the cup.
Shen Yuehuai nodded and said, "You always spent my birthday with me in the past, but I was busy with work in the past two years and couldn't go back home. I thought you had forgotten my birthday this year."
Shen Sangsang lowered her eyes the entire time, and responded to his words lightly: "I don't know what to give you. I didn't know what you wanted before, and now I don't know what you need even more."
"It's okay. I'm happy as long as there's cake."
He said this.
Shen Sangsang didn't know whether he was being polite or not.
Shen Sangsang still didn't have much energy. She looked at the cup of coffee in front of her, but she had no appetite to drink it.
Shen Yuehuai looked at her like this and asked again: "Were you scared yesterday?"
Shen Sangsang stopped the spoon in her hand.
Shen Yuehuai added: “I remember when the old man died, you were like this too, and you even had a fever in the middle of the night.”
Shen Sangsang suddenly raised her head and looked at him, asking, "Why does such a place exist?"
Her face was very serious, as if she was questioning him, as if the life was in his hands.
Shen Yuehuai looked at the expression on her face. He thought for a while and then whispered, "This is a legitimate business. All the procedures at home are legal."
"But why did people die?"
She asked.
"It's just greed."
He said it lightly.
Greed.
She chewed on these two words, and then asked, "If this place didn't exist, how could he enter?"
"Snakes are poisonous. Countless people die from snake poisoning every year. Why haven't they been wiped out by humans?"
He asked her.
Shen Sangsang looked at him and said nothing.
Shen Yuehuai said calmly, "Because the world is like this. It allows everything to grow and exist. It's either black or white. Adults have to pay the price for their decisions, even you and me."
His eyes were calm. "The man who died yesterday was no exception. It was just his personal choice."
"Yeah?"
Shen Sangsang asked in a low voice.
Shen Yuehuai replied to her with certainty: "Yes."
"So, as a member of the Shen family, Shen Zhou was no exception and could not escape, right?"
When Chen Zhou was mentioned, Shen Yuehuai's face remained calm, but after a few seconds, he still replied to him: "In this regard, everyone is equal, from beggars to billionaires. This is his choice, and we can't save him. But... as long as you don't touch him."
Shen Sangsang's expression became increasingly cold: "Who can resist temptation?"
"Sangsang, there are so many people in the world. We are not God and cannot be their masters."
But in Shen Sangsang's eyes, they were sitting high on a platform, looking at the piles of corpses in the casino, and those people's families were broken up. But what about them?
I guess all they can see is profit.
Of course, she didn't say these words out loud, because if she did, it would seem a bit pretentious.
So she lowered her head and ate her breakfast with tasteless taste.
Shen Yuehuai looked at her expression and knew what was in her mind, but he didn't say anything.
After finishing the meal, Shen Yuehuai said again: "Just take a good rest these few days."
She really didn't have the energy to deal with all those things right now, because she knew about the man who jumped off the building, and it would take some time to deal with it.
She held the spoon, closed her eyes, and whispered, "Hmm."
…
Zhou Shiran received a call as soon as his plane landed in City B.
Zhou Shiran frowned and replied, "How come someone is already dead after just arriving?"
The person on the other end spoke to him at length, and Zhou Shiran could only reply, "I know, I know."
He hung up the phone, hailed a taxi and rushed over there.
While sitting in the car, he was still thinking to himself that he must do this project beautifully, not for others to see, but for those people from the Ying family.
Zhou Shiran's hand tightly grasped the phone, he thought of Shen Yuehuai...
A few seconds later, he picked up his phone and made another call. After the call was connected, he greeted humbly through the phone: "Director Shen, it's me, Zhou Shiran."
"I heard you were in City B today, so I came here today too and wanted to visit you. Is that convenient?"
Zhou Shiran thought he would agree to his visit, but who knew the person on the other end would reply, "Let's meet again when your father comes."
After hearing this, Zhou Shiran thought for a few seconds and could only respond in a low voice: "Okay, then I'll wait for my father to come, and then I'll visit you."
The other end of the phone hung up, and Zhou Shiran naturally put the phone down from his ear. Then, he looked forward and looked at this side.
This city can be said to be completely the territory of the Shen family, and the Shen family is willing to cooperate with the Ying family in this project purely out of respect.
Zhou Shiran was very clear about the power of the Shen family and also knew who was in charge of the Shen family now.
After the car stopped at the Caspian Hotel, a valet came to greet him and then helped him with his luggage. Zhou Shiran walked in with a swagger.
But after walking inside, he saw several policemen investigating.
He glanced at the policemen.
They were probably investigating the person who jumped to his death from Caspian, and there were family members crying around.
Zhou Shiran cursed the man as an idiot in his heart, and thought to himself that gamblers are the least worthy of sympathy.
He turned away from the group of people and went to check in.
When he finished the formalities and was about to get on the elevator, he saw a man.
Manager of the South City Caspian store.
The moment Zhou Shiran saw her, he wondered in his heart, why is she here?
Just as he was wondering, the elevator door opened and he could only look away and walk into the elevator.
Shen Sangsang looked at the scenery outside the window. At this time, Shen Yuehuai walked to her side and asked in a low voice: "What are you looking at?"
Shen Sangsang said nothing.
At this time, Shen Yuehuai also glanced downstairs and said, "Let's go out for a walk."
Shen Sangsang didn’t want to go out.
Shen Yuehuai's hand fell on her shoulder: "Let's go for a walk in the garden?"
Without waiting for her to agree, he said again: "Let's go."
