Chapter 249 Alive
A month after Chen Zhou's death, the police found out the cause of his death.
Generally speaking, in such cases, homicide is basically ruled out, so the results come out quickly.
In order to maintain the Shen family's stock price, the Shen family naturally would not allow the shadow of Chen Zhou's death to continue to hang over them, so they naturally focused on handling the matter quickly.
Shen Jixing naturally wanted an answer, but what answer could he find?
Driven by family interests, his son jumped to his death in front of everyone. What answers can be found in this?
Chen Jixing also had to accept this matter.
After Shen Zhou's death, Zhou Shiran and Tan Yan were naturally subject to various police investigations that month.
Because the police could not find any conclusive evidence linking the two men to Chen Zhou's death, they were eventually released from prison after being detained for a month.
After Zhou Shiran and Tan Yan were released from prison, they returned to China as soon as possible to avoid media pursuit.
After the two returned to China, they acted very low-key and did not dare to stir up any more trouble.
But what about Shen Yuehuai?
Chen Zhou's death made him frown every day. Not only did a huge rift between him and Chen Jixing arise due to Shen Zhou's death, but there was also another problem that was difficult for him to resolve.
This matter is about Shen Sangsang.
He wondered how she would react.
When Su Nanxue heard about Chen Zhou's death, she immediately flew to the country where Chen Yuehuai was while she was on a business trip in South Africa.
After arriving in that country, she went to the hotel where he was staying that night and asked about Shen Zhou's death.
At that time, Shen Yuehuai had not dealt with work for two days, but was sitting quietly in the hotel.
He did not answer any of Su Nanxue's questions.
Su Nanxue then asked, "Yue Huai, is it true that Chen Zhou's death has nothing to do with you?"
At that time, everyone in the outside world was saying that Chen Zhou's death was caused by the internal struggle of the Shen family. After all, the man died in his place.
With such an obvious piece of information, how could people outside not speculate in this direction?
Shen Yuehuai still did not give any answer to Su Nanxue's question.
At that time, he and Su Nanxue had been separated for more than a year. He didn't want to talk about this with her. He was only thinking about how to return to China as soon as possible. He had to confirm the person's status.
After he calmed down the turmoil here and finished planning all the work here, he finally had the opportunity to return home.
This opportunity happened to be on the eve of the old lady's birthday. After two years, he finally finished all his work and flew back to China. He quickly checked her condition.
He thought she would cry in front of him.
I will come to him and tell him the truth.
If he did so, he would naturally guide her correctly on how to face the matter of Shen Zhou's death.
But who knew that everything was not what he imagined.
She didn't cry or tell him what was in her heart.
The night he landed in the country and returned to the Shen family's old house, what was waiting for him was an absurd calculation and sacrifice.
The girl he trusted actually dealt him a thundering blow with such a decisive attitude.
In fact, Shen Yuehuai still doesn't dare to think about that night. He has never been a careless person, nor has he ever been a negligent person.
That day, he was probably happy because he hadn't seen her for two years. He was also relieved because she had become much more stable and was not affected by Shen Zhou's death. So he never thought that there would be something wrong with the glass of wine she brought him.
While he was dealing with the guests in the room, he also had to deal with his old mother's joy at seeing him. However, his eyes would fall on her from time to time because she appeared beside him.
Even if his eyes didn't fall on her too obviously, he would definitely be paying attention to her.
He noticed the changes in her appearance, her personality, and her stature over the past two years.
I just felt that the little mulberry tree had indeed grown up.
So after drinking that glass of wine, he instantly felt his body getting hot.
He has always been a good drinker, and after drinking that glass of wine, he felt something was wrong. However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a few seconds, and he thought that it was probably because he hadn't adjusted to the time difference and was not feeling well, so he was not used to the alcohol he could drink today.
Sitting in the chair, he forced himself to adapt for a long time, but the further he went, the more dizzy he felt.
He could no longer hold on, so he stood up and said goodbye to the guests in the hall, said goodbye to his elderly mother, and returned to his room which he had not lived in for a long time. After arriving in the room, Shen Yuehuai's first reaction was to go to the bathroom to take a shower, but his body was hot and his head was dizzy, so he felt that even taking a shower was a luxury.
Finally, he fell on the bed, intending to relieve his physical condition.
But in the extreme silence, the door was opened. When Shen Yuehuai heard the door being pushed open, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Because he hardly had to look at the door to know who came in.
So he just called out a name: "Sangsang."
At that time, Shen Yuehuai really had no evil thoughts or ideas about Shen Sangsang. His mind was full of the mentality of raising a daughter, so he never put any defenses on her.
When he came in to find her, he just felt happy.
And she was also very well behaved. When she heard him calling her name, she answered immediately.
Shen Yuehuai felt quite relieved because it was her who came in. He was even thinking about asking her about her life in the past two years and many things he didn't know.
But when that person arrived at his bedside, he did not reminisce with him, nor did he show any joy at his return. He just whispered to him as before: "Uncle Shen, let me get you some clothes."
Her voice was faint in his ears.
Shen Yuehuai really had no strength left, and thought to himself that it would be better to let her take off his clothes, so that he wouldn't have to call the servants over.
To avoid a lot of hassles.
But when the girl came to his bed, she actually unbuttoned his shirt.
Shen Yuehuai felt that her body was very strange, and also felt that her movements were very strange.
However, he still had no doubts and only reminded her: "Sangsang, call the servant in."
He subtly reminded her of the differences between men and women, and that she shouldn't get too close to him like before.
But who knew that the man's hand not only did not stop, but actually climbed onto his bed.
Shen Yuehuai still can't remember what happened between the two of them that night.
That night still remains like a nightmare in his memory.
The only fragments of his memory were of him possessing him like a beast.
His body, his brain, and his limbs were completely out of control, and his entire body was greedily absorbing all the heat from that body.
That night, he was like an unrestrained demon.
He had never seen himself so out of control.
When his body finally fell exhausted on her, the person under him finally lost all strength and fell asleep due to the pain and his tossing and turning.
By the next morning, the room was full of servants and guests from the Shen family.
After Shen Yuehuai sobered up, he naturally knew that there was something wrong with the wine that night, but it was too late.
He became a beast who destroyed her innocence. The flowers he carefully watered were destroyed in his hands.
That day he actually thought about why she did this. He thought of many reasons that day. Maybe she made a big mistake because of her mischief, or maybe she wanted to punish him for not coming back for two years, so she took out her anger on him in this way.
He even thought that maybe he was drunk and forced himself on her that night.
Various speculations piled up in his mind and finally turned into three words.
She hates him.
When he clearly sensed her feelings for him, he couldn't even give himself extra time. Without any preparation, for her innocence, he married the girl he raised and always treated as a child.
Even though he knew clearly at that time that he had no romantic feelings for her and that he only treated her as a child, he did so for her innocence and to appease the outside world's public opinion against him.
He had to make this choice.
On the day they got married, he secretly thought to himself that he would forgive everything she had done, and as long as she didn't do anything out of line again, he would take care of her for the rest of her life and be responsible for her future.
Even if there is a huge difference between the two and there is no love between them, he will take responsibility.
Just consider it as a way to atone for the cause of Shen Zhou's death.
He thought about a lot of things, but he never thought... that he would fall in love with her.
…
Shen Sangsang's entire body seemed frozen in ice. She stood there for a long moment without reacting. Shen Yuehuai, who was sitting at the desk, looked at her quietly for a long time before saying, "This is how it is. I never thought that a decision of mine would lead to Shen Zhou's death, nor did I ever think that things between you and me would become like this. Of course, I never dispute that Shen Zhou's death was caused by me, so I never wanted you to know the whole story. However, I know that you are the type of person who won't give up until you get to the bottom of things. Now you can finally know everything."
How was Shen Sangsang going to digest everything he had just said?
For her, she couldn't digest everything he just said.
She even trembled uncontrollably after hearing all the causes and consequences.
Shen Yuehuai watched her body shaking. After a few seconds, he stood up and walked to her side. He put his hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her body.
But the moment his hand touched her shoulder, she reacted very strongly, and almost the next second, she pushed his hand away.
The moment Shen Yuehuai's hand was pushed away by her, he immediately raised his eyes and looked at her.
At this moment, he was not angry at all. Instead, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he asked softly: "Do you have the answer in your heart?"
When Shen Sangsang learned all the truth, she felt like a clown, digging up an unworthy truth for an unworthy person.
She can accept the fact that Chen Zhou betrayed her, did not love her that much, and even fell in love with someone else, but can she accept the truth of Chen Zhou's death?
Of course she couldn't accept it.
This inability to accept is due to her morality and ethics, regardless of whether it is because of Chen Zhou as a boyfriend or her stupidity.
All of this was unacceptable to her.
She actually got entangled with another man for a man who didn't love her. She actually ruined her wonderful life for a man who was not worthy.
Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, but she didn't say anything. She just pursed her lips tightly, so tightly that the sobs couldn't even leak out from the gap between her lips.
She could only try her best to support her body and make herself look less embarrassed.
After a long while, she managed to hold onto her voice and said three words: "Thank you."
After she said these three words, she turned away from him resolutely.
Shen Yuehuai stood there, watching her resolutely leave, the faint smile on the corner of his lips gradually faded.
After Shen Sangsang arrived downstairs, she stood at the gate of the Shen family villa and slowly looked up at the sky.
When she saw the raindrops falling from the sky, she discovered that the sky was bright.
It was the first time in so many years that she felt bright.
She actually felt an inexplicable sense of relief in her heart.
So, she exhaled deeply, smiled at the sky and said: "Chen Zhou, you are the one who has wronged me, and I have done my best for you. Goodbye."
Afterwards, she walked into the rain without any hesitation.
After that, her figure disappeared in the drizzle and her whereabouts were unknown.
…
The next morning, Shen Yuehuai received an email. When he sat in the living room and opened the email and saw the divorce agreement inside, he knew clearly what her answer was.
In fact, all this was consistent with what he had guessed in his heart.
He knew her personality too well, and he didn't marry her because she liked him.
From the beginning he knew clearly why she married him.
Now that the truth has come out, how could she still stay with him for a man who is not worthy?
Shen Yuehuai looked at the divorce document in silence for a long time. Finally, he picked up a pen on the table and wrote his name on the divorce agreement.
One year of marriage, one child, half of her life, that was enough.
He was willing to give her freedom.
Quickly, he picked up the pen on the table and wrote his name on the divorce agreement.
…
On the third day, Shen Sangsang got the divorce agreement with his signature. She carefully put the agreement in a folder. After that, she packed her things and left the hospital.
The servant wanted to stop her, but she didn't receive any instructions to stop her, so she finally chose to watch.
Shen Sangsang carried a small piece of luggage and walked straight out of the ward.
When she walked outside, she looked up at the sky again, and she smiled in her heart and thought, Shen Sangsang, you can finally live for yourself.
