Chapter 24: Marriage
"Are you calling me?" Shen Sangsang asked while standing on the second floor.
"Yes, Mr. Chen asked me to take you to the cemetery." Xu Jie stood downstairs and looked up.
This is a family event. Now that she is married to Shen Yuehuai, she naturally has to attend his nephew's death anniversary.
She asked again: "Are we leaving now?"
"Yes, Miss Sansan."
Chen Sangsang and Xu Jie looked at each other, forming a twisted rope in the distance between them.
There was a icy look in Xu Jie's eyes.
…
Ten minutes later, Shen Sangsang got into the car with Xu Jie.
The weather today was not very good. Shen Sangsang looked out the car window and saw an extremely gloomy sky. Everything outside looked gray, as if all the buildings were covered with a thin layer of dust.
Shen Sangsang and Xu Jie didn't speak to each other. The car was moving forward very quickly. After a while, the car arrived at the foot of a mountain.
As soon as the car stopped, Xu Jie got out and opened the door for Shen Sangsang.
Shen Sangsang glanced at him while sitting in the car, and soon she came out.
When she stood outside the car, she looked up and sighed in her heart that this kind of weather was indeed very suitable for mourning people, and there was a kind of strange and sad beauty.
At this time, two cars drove over.
Shen Sangsang turned around when she heard the sound of a car.
It was Shen Yuehuai and Old Madam Shen who got out of the car one after another.
Shen Sangsang first looked at Old Madam Shen, but it was obvious that Old Madam Shen ignored her existence.
She then looked at Shen Yuehuai again.
Shen Yuehuai had already walked in front of her: "You didn't wake up this morning, so I didn't wake you up. Let's go."
He spoke lightly, his brows were not quite relaxed, but still gentle.
Shen Sangsang lowered her head: "I did sleep very deeply yesterday, I thought you would wake me up."
"It's a good thing to sleep a little longer in the morning. Are you still dizzy?"
He was much older than her, and she used to call him Uncle Shen, but now that his status had changed, he was already a standard good husband in front of her.
In response to his concern, she said slowly: "Well... the dizziness is not bad."
While the two were talking, Old Lady Shen went up the mountain first. There was already a senior monk waiting there.
Shen Yuehuai said to her, "Let's go up the mountain first."
He walked forward, and Shen Sangsang followed behind him with a meek look.
Old Madam Shen, who was walking in front, looked at Shen Sangsang's well-behaved appearance with a cold expression and snorted in her heart.
Seeing how much care her son took for her, she could only reluctantly put away the coldness on her face.
The group walked up the mountain, and after walking for a while, a senior monk came down the mountain to greet them.
Finally I came to a tombstone.
There was a photo of a young boy on the tombstone. His face was 60% similar to Shen Yuehuai, but the boy looked much more immature.
In such a wealthy family, emotions were always calm and peaceful, and few people spoke sadly. Old Madam Shen only gave a simple order to the servants: "Please burn incense."
After receiving the instructions, the servant immediately put down everything he had brought and took out the offerings and some paper money.
All the things were neatly placed in front of and behind the tombstone, and the servants lit incense.
Today, Old Lady Shen asked the monk to come because there was an important matter, which was to arrange a ghost marriage for her grandson Chen Zhou.
Shen Sangsang listened to their discussion and instantly raised her head to look at them.
Because Shen Zhou died too young, although Mrs. Shen felt regretful about her only grandson, she was afraid that his lonely soul would affect the family's feng shui, so she decided to take this bad measure.
For such a prominent family, family honor comes first.
Shen Sangsang listened to the discussion ahead with a cold brow.
This process lasted for about three minutes, and the weather began to get colder and it started to drizzle.
Shen Yuehuai took a look at the weather and said to his mother, "You are not feeling well. It is cold on the mountain. Go down first. Otherwise, it will rain heavily if you are late."
Madam Shen thought for a few seconds and said, "That's right. I'm really old and can't stand the cold."
Old Madam Shen had no intention of staying here for long, so she said goodbye to the monk and prepared to go down the mountain.
Things have been discussed almost completely, so there is no need to stay. Shen Yuehuai looked at Shen Sangsang and said, "Let's go."
Shen Sangsang nodded and continued to follow him.
…
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Mrs. Shen was about to get in the car.
At this time, Shen Sangsang, who was supposed to follow Shen Yuehuai into the car, said, “Uncle Shen.”
As soon as she said this Uncle Shen, everyone present turned to face her, including Shen Yuehuai who was about to get in the car.
"I happen to have nothing to do today. Can I go back with grandma?" Shen Sangsang asked in a low voice.
Shen Yuehuai frowned slightly, obviously he didn't want her to have contact with Old Madam Shen.
When Mrs. Shen on the side heard what Shen Sangsang said, the expression on her face was also a little surprised.
During this process, Shen Sangsang only looked at Shen Yuehuai.
Shen Yuehuai thought for a few seconds under her gaze, then said, "Then I'll ask Xu Jie to pick you up this afternoon."
He only let her stay at the Shen family's old house for one afternoon.
Shen Sangsang replied obediently: "Okay."
Then she turned around and got into Mrs. Shen's car.
Shen Yuehuai was still standing at the car door. At this time, Xu Jie walked to his side and called out in a low voice: "Mr. Shen." It seemed as if he was reminding him of something.
Shen Yuehuai looked at Xu Jie for a long time, then said calmly, "Get in the car first."
After the two of them got into the car, Xu Jie said, "Boss Shen, it's not safe to let Miss Sangsang go to the old lady."
Shen Yuehuai's hand fell on his brow, he lowered his eyes and whispered, "Let's see what she wants to do."
