Chapter 194
After saying this, Old Lady Shen waited for Shen Yuehuai to answer her.
After hearing Old Lady Shen's question, Shen Yuehuai was silent for a few seconds. After a few seconds, he said, "There are doctors here who are taking care of her. She doesn't have any other major health problems."
His words were obviously a polite refusal.
After hearing her words, Mrs. Shen remained silent, with a look of obvious disappointment on her face.
Shen Sangsang stood there. After hearing what Shen Yuehuai said, her gaze naturally turned to Old Madam Shen. After looking for a few seconds, she retracted her gaze and lowered her eyes, thinking in her heart, is he going to take her back to the Shen family?
As she was thinking this in her heart, Xijie beside her spoke again: "Yue Huai, don't let your mother down... right, don't you think? After all, she has been arrogant all her life, and now it is rare for her to bow her head."
Mrs. Shen's face was naturally full of disappointment.
Xijie added, "When people get old, they just want someone to accompany them. Now she is also concerned about Sangsang... After all, her health is still relatively poor, which is worrying..."
Xijie's words made it seem that Shen Yuehuai, the son, was not doing enough. Even Shen Sangsang, who was standing beside her, understood the meaning behind them.
And how could Shen Yuehuai, who was standing there, not hear the meaning conveyed here?
There was no smile on Shen Yuehuai's face as he looked at his younger sister.
There was a pleading look on Xijie's face, as if she hoped she would fulfill this wish.
This really made it difficult for Shen Yuehuai to step down. After all, as a son, how could he refuse this rare opportunity of her submission?
He looked at his younger sister and said, "Why don't you ask her about this matter? If she wants to go back to South City with me, I won't stop her."
Shen Yuehuai handed the multiple-choice question to Shen Sangsang and let her give an answer.
When Shen Sangsang saw him looking at her, she thought to herself, if even he, as a son, couldn't wipe out his kindness, then how could she, as a daughter-in-law, wipe out this kindness of bowing her head?
Shen Sangsang thought about the cold atmosphere between the two of them during this period of time. He probably wanted her to go back, right?
Then, an idea came to her mind. After a while, she kicked the multiple-choice question back to Shen Yuehuai: "I don't know about this matter. If you want me to go back, I will go back too."
The reason why Shen Yuehuai put the decision in her hands was naturally because he hoped she would refuse, but he did not expect that she would answer him like this.
He looked at her expression, sensed a hint of anger in her, and knew that she was trying to defeat him.
He felt a little angry, and he added, "It's up to you, isn't it? But if you want to ask me, I think it would be best if you go back with Mom and live in South City for a while."
He gave his answer.
When Shen Sangsang heard his answer, she didn't struggle much and just replied: "Since you agree, I will go back to South City."
She said this.
Shen Yuehuai hadn't expected that she was addicted to gambling out of spite, so he naturally wouldn't indulge her too much. In his opinion, she was no different from being spoiled by him, so he naturally wouldn't give her any more chances. He said to Xijie, "Then let her go back with you."
After hearing this, Xijie immediately looked towards Old Madam Shen.
Old Madam Shen thought that bringing her back to South City would be a challenge, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly today. She wasn't too surprised, and she didn't act too anxious. After all, she knew her son well enough not to be fooled. Although she didn't understand why he agreed so easily today, she whispered, "Okay, then we'll go back together and let the doctor take care of her. If she wants to come over after she gets back, she can come over."
"Well, I'm sorry to bother you. I hope you can take good care of it."
Shen Yuehuai said this.
Madam Shen replied, "Why would you say that? Since I've already decided that she's my daughter-in-law, I won't say anything more. As for taking care of her, you should know that I've always loved her very much. Don't worry about it when you go back this time. There won't be any problems."
After hearing this, Shen Yuehuai only replied in a low voice: "Well, okay."
After Shen Yuehuai finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Shen Sangsang again.
Shen Sangsang had no reaction to his words.
Seeing that she still didn't respond, Shen Yuehuai turned his gaze to the servant beside him and said, "Pack up the madam's clothes and take them back."
When the servant next to him heard this, he immediately responded, "Yes, sir."
Afterwards, the servant went upstairs, and Shen Sangsang stood there without saying anything. As for Shen Yuehuai, his expression was very cold, and no one noticed the undercurrent between the two.
As for the servants who went upstairs, they moved quickly. After a while, they had packed up all of Shen Sangsang's clothes in the bedroom. There was almost no room for maneuver. When Mrs. Shen saw the servants carrying all the luggage into the car, she didn't say much, but whispered, "Let's go."
She turned around and, with the support of her younger sister, headed out first.
As for Shen Yuehuai, his eyes were still on Shen Sangsang. During these few seconds, he was still waiting, waiting for her to beg for mercy, waiting for her to say that she didn't want to go back.
But until the last moment, she still had a stubborn face.
Shen Yuehuai's gaze finally stopped focusing on her and looked towards the door.
At this time, Madam Shen had already gotten in the car, and Shen Sangsang was still standing in the hall. However, after Madam Shen got in the car, she stood there without any hesitation, and did not even turn her eyes to Shen Yuehuai. She turned directly and walked towards the door of the hall.
I got into the car without any hesitation.
Shen Yuehuai looked at her back as she got into the car and thought to himself, she's quite cool.
I hope she can maintain this kind of elegance until the end.
With a cold face, he walked towards the door.
After Shen Sangsang got in the car, it naturally started. Old Madam Shen, who was sitting in the car, lowered the window and said to Shen Yuehuai who came to see her off, "Then we'll leave first."
Shen Yuehuai replied in a low voice: "Well, then I won't send more."
Old Madam Shen waved her hand, telling him not to worry too much.
Afterwards, the car window rose up, and then the car slowly turned around, and then Shen Yuehuai turned around and left.
Shen Sangsang never raised her head from beginning to end while sitting in the car. It was very quiet inside the car because after the car left the gate of the villa, Old Madam Shen and the young lady stopped talking. The previous enthusiasm turned into nothingness at this moment.
Shen Sangsang knew that taking her back to South City was definitely not that simple, but as for why, she still had no idea.
She clenched her hands slightly into fists at her sides.
As for Shen Yuehuai, he stood there for a while. After watching the car leave, he turned around with a cold face.
The moment he turned around, Xu Jie's car arrived here. After the car stopped, he got out of the car. Seeing the people in the hall, he whispered, "Boss Shen."
When Shen Yuehuai heard his voice, he naturally stopped and turned to look at Xu Jie.
He thought for a few seconds and said, "Keep an eye on the old house."
Xu Jie didn't quite understand what he was saying, but after sensing the emptiness of the villa, he asked again, "Has Miss Sangsang returned to South City?"
Shen Yuehuai frowned coldly: "Yeah."
When Xu Jie heard this, she finally understood what it meant.
He was quiet for a few seconds and then said, "Okay, I know."
After Shen Yuehuai said this, he didn't say anything else, but went straight upstairs.
Xu Jie, who was standing downstairs, was looking at the back of the person upstairs. He was wondering in his heart why that person followed him back to Chen's house in Nancheng.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't go back. After all, if she returns to the Shen residence, will the old lady really like her?
When Xu Jie thought of this, her face darkened slightly.
Afterwards, he also left from the villa hall.
…
Shen Sangsang took a car and arrived at the airport with Madam Shen.
After arriving at the airport, they did not stay for long but boarded the special plane directly.
During this process, Madam Shen's attitude did not warm up at all like it did before in the villa, and she did not express her acceptance to her.
Instead, it became even colder.
Shen Sangsang followed her without saying much.
After they sat down on the plane, Mrs. Shen finally said to her, "I don't have anything else for you to do. Just do what you want to do."
This was the only sentence she had said to her during the entire journey, and after hearing his words, Shen Sangsang fell silent for a few moments before responding after a long while: "Well, I know."
Madam Shen entered the lounge of the plane, and Shen Sangsang naturally did not follow her.
After taking off, the plane flew directly to South City.
Shen Sangsang sat in the plane, looking out the window, she looked at the layers of clouds.
She felt as if she was living in the clouds and mist, and she was in a daze.
However, she was not very clear about what she was thinking.
Two hours later, the plane she was on slowly landed at Nancheng Airport.
After the plane landed, Mrs. Shen came out of the lounge.
The moment Shen Sangsang saw her, she immediately walked towards her. After reaching her side, she whispered, "Grandma."
The word "grandma" made Old Madam Shen frown slightly. She looked at her and said, "Grandma?"
Obviously, she is not very satisfied with this title.
She asked again: "Aren't you married to Yue Huai? Why is she still your grandmother?"
Mrs. Shen's expression did not seem particularly aggressive. She just waited quietly for her to change her words.
That expression seemed to say that if she didn't change her words, she didn't know the rules.
After Shen Sangsang heard her words and felt her gaze, she was silent for a few seconds and didn't speak.
Madam Shen's eyes, which were not very sharp to begin with, began to change subtly at this moment.
"You don't agree with me, or you don't agree with your current identity." She asked calmly: "You don't agree with your identity, do you think our Shen family has made you feel ashamed?"
Shen Sangsang said softly: “No.”
"No, then why don't you change it? I thought so much time had passed, you would have changed everything that should have been changed."
Shen Sangsang had never said those two words, so until now, she didn't even know how to pronounce them.
But under Madam Shen's gaze, she finally called out, "Mother-in-law."
Although "mother" and "mother-in-law" mean the same thing, the closeness and distance between them are completely different.
When Mrs. Shen heard her name, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
Xijie was watching from the side, but Mrs. Shen was not angry at her address after all. Instead, she walked past her with a calm expression.
Seeing the old lady about to walk forward, Xijie thought for a few seconds and then said to comfort her, "It's okay. The old lady is not angry. Once you get used to it, it won't be too late to say those two words."
This little lady has become extremely gentle today.
Shen Sangsang listened but didn't say anything.
Afterwards, airport staff came outside the plane to pick up Madam Shen. Shen Sangsang stood there for a long time, and naturally had no choice but to follow them out of the plane through the aisle.
The group got on the car again under the escort of the airport staff. This time they were going directly back to the Shen family's old house. However, before returning to the Shen family's old house, they had to rest for a while in the airport lounge.
Because we just left the airport on a separate shuttle bus.
After the shuttle bus left the apron, they were led by staff to the lounge for lunch.
Shen Sangsang naturally had lunch with Old Madam Shen in the lounge, but she didn't eat much. Because they were worried that Old Madam Shen would be tired from the flight, the staff at the airport arranged a hot spring for her to soak in.
Madam Shen had the habit of taking a bath again, but before she went to the hot spring, she asked Shen Sangsang, “Do you want to soak for a while?”
When Shen Sangsang heard her question, she whispered, “No, I’ll just rest here for a while.”
She still didn't show much intimacy in front of her, and Old Madam Shen naturally didn't seem to be very close to her either.
Hearing her words, he just said with a calm face: "Well, whatever you want."
Having said that, she left the lounge accompanied by her younger sister.
Shen Sangsang stood there, watching her leave.
Afterwards, Shen Sangsang naturally waited here for her to come back from the hot spring.
This process is quite long. After all, elderly people like them are slow to move, and they have to soak in hot springs, drink tea, and smell the fragrance. You can imagine how long this period of time is.
Shen Sangsang sat on the sofa in the lounge and actually dozed off and fell asleep.
Time passed minute by minute, and Shen Sangsang was awakened by the noise. After waking up, she immediately looked towards the door.
She thought they had returned from the hot springs, but after she looked at the door for a few seconds, the door was pushed open and the people who walked in were airport staff.
The staff member said to her, "Mrs. Shen, Old Madam Shen hasn't finished her hot spring bath yet. They're still fumigating her with moxa."
After hearing this, Shen Sangsang said in a low voice: "I understand."
But she added, "Take me there."
The airport staff nodded and said, "Okay."
After a while, we arrived at the hot spring place.
