Chapter 252 See
She repeated the words again.
After she said this, Xu Jie stood in front of her without saying anything else.
Shen Sangsang felt that she should close the door forcefully and drive Xu Jie out, but after standing there for a few seconds, she finally said, "Let's go."
Xu Jie felt slightly relieved when she heard her words.
The reason why Shen Sangsang finally agreed to go there was not because of anything too complicated, but simply because she was grateful for her kindness in bringing her back to the Shen family.
Some things are just like this, gratitude is gratitude, hate is hate, gratitude and hate have always been two different things.
If it weren't for her, she would have died on that snowy night, and there would be no Shen Sangsang today.
She thought so in her heart.
Seeing that she agreed, Xu Jie naturally walked in front to lead the way.
Shen Sangsang followed behind Xu Jie.
The weather today was particularly dusty, and the hotel corridor was extremely quiet. Because of the carpet, even the sound of footsteps disappeared.
Shen Sangsang kept her head down the whole time, following behind Xu Jie.
After that, the two arrived downstairs and the car was already waiting at the hotel entrance.
She followed Xu Jie into the low-key car.
After the car started, Shen Sangsang looked out the window. Sure enough, it was snowing outside again. The snow kept falling down, and it was inexplicably bleak.
It was very cold outside, but the car was well heated. Shen Sangsang, who was sitting in the back seat, asked, "How did she... die?"
"She died of illness. You know, she was always in poor health. Of course, her age was also a factor."
"Did you suffer when you left?"
"Not really. He left very quietly."
"Um."
Shen Sangsang's gaze fell on the car window again.
Just one year, just one year, and a person's life has come to an end. This is something Shen Sangsang never thought of.
She felt an indescribable heaviness in her heart.
Xu Jie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also noticed her fatigue. He looked at her in the rearview mirror for a few seconds and asked, "Didn't you get enough rest?"
Shen Sangsang closed her eyes, the fatigue in her eyes became more and more obvious, and she did not answer Xu Jie's words.
Xu Jie looked at the expression on her face and naturally didn't ask any more questions.
The car continued to move forward, rolling over the snow. After driving steadily for half an hour, the speed finally slowed down. At this time, Shen Sangsang opened his eyes and looked outside, only to find that he had arrived at the gate of the Shen family's old house.
The gate was still full of parked cars, making it difficult to pass through, but their car did not go towards the gate, but towards another gate.
That door is a very hidden door, and people outside basically don’t know its existence.
When the car finally stopped in front of the small door, Shen Sangsang, who was sitting in the car, was silent and hesitant.
Xu Jie sat in the passenger seat for a long time, then turned her gaze to her and said, "Let's go."
Shen Sangsang responded again, and after a long time, she no longer hesitated, and decisively opened the car door and got out.
Because of the heavy snow, someone came to the door with an umbrella to meet them. After Shen Sangsang entered under the umbrella, she followed the man into the Shen family's old house.
When they arrived at the hall of the Shen family's old house, there was a mourning hall set up inside, and there were many guests who came to pay their respects. Of course, those people did not notice the appearance of Shen Sangsang.
Xu Jie said, "There are a lot of people here right now. Let the servant take you upstairs to rest for a while."
But Shen Sangsang said, "No need, I'll just see her once and leave."
Xu Jie looked a little surprised, but after hearing what she said, she naturally did not interfere with her decision.
Shen Sangsang just came to see her for the last time. She didn't think about having any involvement with the Shen family anymore. This might be the last time she appeared here in her life.
She walked towards the mourning hall like an ordinary mourner.
Xu Jie naturally did not stop her and just let her go.
However, when she was about to reach the center of the mourning hall, a person walked out of the crowd.
This person is Shen Yuehuai.
The moment Shen Sangsang saw him, she paused slightly.
The moment Shen Yuehuai saw her, his steps naturally stopped and his eyes fell on her face.
When the two looked at each other, everything around them suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were on them.
For a whole year, Shen Sangsang didn't know what expression to use to face him.
She had already let go of some things, so the word "hate" might not be appropriate when used to describe her face.
Then, all that remains is indifference and indifference.
She looked at his slightly pale and haggard face, and without any intention of greeting him, she withdrew her gaze from him and was about to walk past him.
But at this moment, Shen Yuehuai called out, "Sangsang."
The long-lost word "Sangsang" made Shen Sangsang stop again. Of course, she did not look back at him, but stood there for a full two seconds. She straightened her body and continued to move forward.
The onlookers in the hall subconsciously made way for Shen Sangsang when they saw him approaching. Shen Sangsang followed the path made by everyone and finally reached the center of the mourning hall, in front of the portrait of Old Madam Shen.
Shen Yuehuai stood there without moving. After she walked to the mourning hall, he did not look at her. The darkness drowned his face.
Just when no one spoke or moved, a servant in charge of the mourning hall walked towards Shen Sangsang and handed her three incense sticks.
When Shen Sangsang saw the three incense sticks, she thought for a few seconds and reached out to take them. Then, in front of everyone, she bowed three times to the portrait.
After the ceremony, the servant took the three incense sticks from her hand, and finally the three incense sticks fell into the incense burner in front of the portrait.
Someone seemed to be crying. I don’t know who it was. Maybe it was a relative of the Shen family, or maybe it was a servant at the Shen family’s old house.
After burning those three incense sticks, Shen Sangsang didn't stay here for long. She turned around and left.
When she turned to leave, a servant from the Shen family saw her off. Of course, the reason why he did that was just the way he would see off an ordinary guest.
During this process, Shen Yuehuai stood in the dark without moving, and did not even raise his face, so the people in the mourning hall could not see his expression at all.
Soon, around the time Shen Sangsang disappeared in the traffic in front of the Shen family's old house, order in the mourning hall gradually returned to normal.
Shen Yuehuai, who had been standing there motionless, finally moved twice in the dark, and then he left the mourning hall.
…
Shen Sangsang did not take the Shen family's car back to the hotel.
It was snowing heavily, and suddenly she just wanted to take a walk in the snow.
When she walked to the middle of the mountain alone, her eyes fell on the front. Suddenly, she stopped and exhaled heavily. In that second, a tear slid down from the corner of Shen Sangsang's eye.
However, she didn't care and continued walking forward.
She walked in the snow for more than two hours and finally reached the hotel after it was completely dark.
By the time she reached her hotel room, her legs were completely soaked and her feet were completely numb.
She reached out and took off the heavy snow boots on her legs, then she sat on the edge of the bed and fell into silence.
For some reason, she didn't want to move at all. She didn't want to take a shower, change her clothes, or eat anything, but she didn't want to move a finger.
But the reality is, she still needs to live, she needs to turn on the air conditioner, she needs to change clothes, and she needs to eat.
Finally, she got up from the bed and dragged her tired body to the bathroom. After taking a hot bath, she called the hotel front desk to order food. After finishing all these things in an orderly manner, Shen Sangsang found the TV remote control and turned on the TV in the room.
When entertainment programs appeared on the TV screen, the room instantly became much warmer.
Shen Sangsang coughed twice, then curled up in bed with a cup of hot water and watched TV.
This year, no matter which country's hotel she went to, the first thing she would do every night was to turn on the TV.
The sound of the TV seemed to dispel the loneliness.
Not long after, the hotel front desk brought her dinner, and Shen Sangsang curled up on the sofa, watching TV while stuffing mouthfuls of rice into her mouth with a spoon.
After finishing the meal, Shen Sangsang held a cup of hot milk and continued to curl up on the sofa watching the images on TV.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door. Shen Sangsang thought it was the waiter who came to collect the garbage in her room. She wanted to say no, but she was afraid of the smell in the room. She finally put down the milk in her hand and walked to the door to open it.
The moment she opened the door, she subconsciously took small steps back while standing at the door.
And the person knocking in front of her was also looking at her.
Shen Sangsang's first reaction was to slam the door shut, but she didn't. She didn't let herself react so strongly. She only asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong?"
This was the first sentence she had spoken to him in a year.
The man standing in front of her looked even more tired as she said this: "I knew you would come back."
The man dressed in black with silk and linen hanging on his body only said this sentence at this moment.
Shen Sangsang didn't know why he knew she would come back, but it didn't matter.
She said, "So?"
Shen Yuehuai lowered his eyes, his face a mixture of fatigue and tenderness: "Sangsang, I'm glad you're back. At least it proves that you still have some feelings for the Shen family."
His voice was haggard.
Shen Sangsang didn't understand why he had taken time off from the mourning hall to come here, when there were a room full of guests.
Of course, this wasn't something she should worry about. She raised her head and said, "I'll leave again. This is my last time returning home."
But just as she finished speaking, the next second, Shen Yuehuai's hand grabbed her arm.
His hands were very big and cold, so cold that Shen Sangsang was stunned. She subconsciously raised her head to look at him.
Shen Yuehuai looked at the astonishment on her face. He held her hand but did not let go: "Don't go."
He uttered these two words in a low voice.
Shen Sangsang saw the trembling in his eyes. She had never seen him like this before.
She thought that the reason he was so outwardly emotional was probably due to the pain of losing his mother, but she had no obligation to share this grief with him. She added, "I came back for another reason, and that was to get our divorce certificate final."
A year ago, she left in a hurry and did not get a marriage certificate after the two signed the divorce agreement.
After a year, she knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer. This time she suddenly came back, firstly because of the death of Shen's mother, and secondly, to completely sever the relationship between the two.
When Shen Yuehuai heard her words, he pursed his lips tightly.
The pair of eyes looking at her were filled with a deep sense of vicissitudes.
Seeing that he didn't speak or move, Shen Sangsang pushed his hand away from hers after a few seconds. Then, she turned and went into the room, wanting to close the door.
But just as she was about to close the door, the person standing at the door suddenly stretched out his hand, and the door clamped directly towards the hand.
Shen Sangsang was startled and stopped moving her hands immediately. Then, she stepped back and looked up at the person in front of her.
Shen Yuehuai seemed to feel no pain, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips: "Does it have to be like this, Sangsang?"
His faint smile turned into a smile: "Of course, this is indeed an unfinished process. I respect your choice, but I think, are we not even friends anymore?"
"Friends, what friends?"
Shen Sangsang asked this question.
Shen Yuehuai looked at the person in front of him and felt that she had grown up a lot. She seemed to be much stronger this year and had become much darker. She was no longer as pale as before, and there was a bit more liveliness in her eyes and eyebrows.
He asked, "Is your insomnia gone?"
She didn't expect that he would care about her in this aspect, but she told him: "Okay, it's completely healed."
After hearing this, Shen Yuehuai's face flashed with a look of relief and joy: "That's good."
She said indifferently: "Hmm."
"What about the medicine? Are you still taking it?"
"I haven't eaten it for a long time."
"That's good."
He said the same thing again.
After a few words, the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Both parties were silent at the same time.
Shen Sangsang felt that he had lost a lot of weight. She didn't know if it was because he had been taking care of the funeral these days, or because of something else. She looked at him and wanted to say something else, but when the words came to her lips, she said, "Is there anything else to say?"
Shen Yuehuai knew clearly that he had been standing at her door for more than ten minutes. It seemed that it was indeed a bit inappropriate to stand in the hotel corridor in this posture. However, he did not want to leave. Instead, he looked at her and asked, "What about work? Have you found a job?"
He actually cared about this, and she didn't know whether she should respond to him.
But she didn't want to hurt him even more when he was in grief.
After tonight, she would leave tomorrow. There was no need to be too hostile. Instead, she replied to him seriously, "I've found a few jobs during my year abroad."
"Well, what about the money? Is it enough?"
Shen Sangsang looked at him: "That's enough."
She agreed to everything, but Shen Yuehuai didn't know what to say. He whispered, "If the money is not enough, I'll ask someone to give it to you."
"Need not."
