Chapter 229 Those Years
After Shen Sangsang came out of the hospital, she walked to the hospital gate and got into a car.
It was a car that took her to Shen Yuehuai. After getting in the car, her eyes fell on the window, watching the scenery pass by one by one in front of her eyes.
After about half an hour, the car arrived at the Shen family villa.
From the moment she got out of the car, she felt that everything here was so strange.
She stood at the gate for a long time, as if she had made some decision, and then she walked into the villa.
The whole villa was very quiet, with few servants around. Shen Sangsang walked all the way to the second floor. When she reached the door of the study, she paused slightly. At that moment, a voice came from inside. It was Shen Yuehuai's voice: "Come in."
After hearing this voice, Shen Sangsang did not hesitate any longer, but pushed the door and walked in. Soon, she stood in front of Shen Yuehuai.
And Shen Yuehuai seemed to have been waiting for her in the study for a long time. After she came in, he raised his face and looked at her.
Shen Sangsang stood in front of him, her expression not sad, but half-dead and resolute.
Shen Yuehuai stared at her face, looking at the color on her face: "It seems that you have recovered well in the past few days."
Shen Sangsang heard this but didn't express much, only saying: "You said you would tell me everything."
He looked at her, never expecting that one day they would stand on opposite sides like this.
It was only a room away, but it was no longer as close as before. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.
"I didn't expect that things would come to this point, and you still want to know."
"I am a person who knows that even if I die, I will die."
Shen Yuehuai looked at her and nodded. He said softly, "As expected of you, I taught you."
As soon as he said this, the room fell silent.
Shen Yuehuai didn't want to say too much, so he whispered, "How much do you know about Shen Zhou?"
If he had asked her this question before, Shen Sangsang could answer with certainty that he was a kind person and the only ray of sunshine in his Shen family.
He is clear, unlike Shen Yuehuai who is like fog.
He treated her very well and gave her a lot of expectations.
But... when things came to this point, all these answers became a joke.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shen Yuehuai thought for a few seconds and then continued, "Sangsang, I used to value this nephew very much, but... things didn't go as I wished. In a family like this, people are destined to change. I never thought that you and him would develop into a romantic relationship."
When he said this, his brows were slightly furrowed. Obviously, he still couldn't accept this matter.
"You've asked me many times why I didn't come back for two years. If I had known those two years would make us so unfamiliar with each other, and turn you into what you are now, I think I wouldn't have left no matter how important the job was. Unfortunately, things in this world are always so out of our control, and there's no such thing as foreknowledge. God always takes us by surprise."
There was always a frown lingering between his brows.
He paused for a few seconds, as if recalling something. After a long moment of recollection, he spoke again in a calm voice, "Two years ago in the spring, to develop the family business, I explored overseas markets. That place was a very important part of the family's territory, and it was also a turbulent time. After the old man passed away, the family was always embroiled in a dispute over equity. You should know how complicated the relationships in the Shen family are. My eldest brother, Shen Jixing, and I don't have the same father and mother, but half-sisters. This alone is enough to create a lot of rifts between us."
"I've never cared that much about the equity dispute. The Shen family's power position is open to anyone, at least that's what I thought at the time. Unfortunately, my eldest brother had different ideas. He had his own calculations and plans. He was striving to put Xiaozhou in power. As his uncle, I was happy to help him take that position. But I felt he was still very immature and his mind was unstable. He needed some practice. Who knew... it was this thought that made him hate me, his uncle."
"However, I always thought he was a healthy person. He just lacked experience. It wasn't until your sophomore year that I discovered your relationship with Xiaozhou."
As he said this, his eyes looked straight at her.
When Shen Sangsang saw his gaze, her expression slightly stiffened.
"Do you know under what circumstances I found out?" Shen Yuehuai did not rush to speak, but paused here.
Shen Sangsang had always thought that he didn't know about her relationship with Xiaozhou, but she didn't expect that he would know about it during her sophomore year.
"You wrote a letter to Xiaozhou, but you sent it to the wrong address and it ended up in my hands."
Shen Sangsang didn’t know that there was such a thing here, something she was completely unaware of.
She clenched her hands quietly at her sides.
…
It was winter one year, Shen Yuehuai had been away from home for a whole year, and that was also the year she didn't send him any greeting cards.
That day was Christmas in a foreign country. Even in such a poor and chaotic place, Christmas is still an extremely important day.
After a whole day of meetings, Shen Yuehuai returned to his residence, which was the only five-star hotel in the area. He lived in the top-floor suite. At that time, he stood by the window, looking at the scenery outside, thinking in his heart whether he should make a phone call back and tell the little girl in China... Christmas... is here this year.
His mind was racing, and he turned away from the window. Because his cell phone was not with him, he was too lazy to look for it. He just sat down on the sofa, picked up the landline, and made an overseas call back to China.
I called, but no one answered.
Shen Yuehuai guessed this would happen, because she was very angry with him for leaving and hadn't spoken to him on the phone for a whole year.
So when Shen Yuehuai heard the disconnection sound on the phone, he finally put down the landline receiver in his hand. Then, a smile could not help but appear on his tired face. What he thought in his heart was, this little kid is so smart and has a bad temper.
At that time, he was in a pretty good mood. Even if the person didn't answer his call, it didn't affect the joy in his heart when he thought of her.
However, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
Xu Jie walked in from outside.
Xu Jie was still a bit immature at that time. He walked up to Shen Yuehuai and whispered, "Boss."
Shen Yuehuai looked at him, the smile on his lips did not disappear, he asked: "What's wrong?"
