Chapter 447 Chapter 447 Being Seen
Suddenly the wind started to blow and the sky gradually darkened, as if a heavy rain was about to fall.
The lush branches were swaying in the afternoon wind.
Even through the thick floor-to-ceiling glass windows, you can still feel the power of the strong wind outside.
Shen Qinghuan walked forward and sat down opposite Ren Shuyan.
Ren Shuyan looked up at her, took out an old notebook from her bag, and handed it to her, saying softly, "I heard from my father that the things recorded in this notebook are all what he wrote in high school and college. If you have time, you must take a good look at it."
“Miss Shen, I really envy you. You have always been in Si Nian’s heart and have never left.”
As Ren Shuyan spoke, her nose couldn't help but feel slightly sour.
She lowered her head, her eyes were red, but she tried very hard to smile, as if she didn't want Shen Qinghuan to see the sadness in her heart.
Shen Qinghuan's eyes fell on the notebook in his hand.
She remembered it very clearly. When she went to Zhou Sinian's house with him for the second time, Zhou's father took her to Zhou Sinian's room and showed her the notebook. She just casually flipped through a few pages at that time. Who would have thought that only half a year later, the notebook would be back in her hands.
"Ms. Ren, whether you believe it or not, in my heart, Zhou Sinian has always been my neighbor brother."
In fact, now that the person is gone, it’s useless for her to say anything.
Ren Shuyan chuckled and said, "Look! What you can get easily, I can't get even if I spend my whole life. So, Miss Shen, I really envy you."
Shen Qinghuan was silent.
She didn't know how to respond to Ren Shuyan's words, and she couldn't respond.
Many times, what is honey to one person may be poison to another. Zhou Sinian's kindness to her is like a huge burden that makes her feel suffocated.
Shen Qinghuan picked up the water cup in front of her, took a few sips, then raised her head and looked at Ren Shuyan seriously, "Ms. Ren, why did Si Nian do that? I remember the last time I met him, he told me that you and her were getting married soon, and I smiled and asked him to send me an invitation..."
She pursed her lips and tried hard to force a smile.
Ren Shuyan lowered her head and chuckled.
"Depression, severe depression. In fact, he has been suffering from depression for years. He was recovering for a while, but somehow it relapsed again and developed to a severe state before his family noticed."
Shen Qinghuan was stunned for a moment. He opened his mouth slightly, but no sound came out. He only felt a stuffy feeling in his chest.
After a pause, Ren Shuyan continued to her own words, "I later found out why he agreed to marry me. It was because he had long since given up wanting to live. He knew I really wanted to marry him, so he helped me fulfill this wish."
“Miss Shen, Brother Si Nian is gone, he will never come back, and I will never see him again.”
As she spoke, tears unexpectedly rolled down her eyes.
As if she was worried about being seen by Shen Qinghuan, she quickly turned her face away and reached out to wipe the tears from her cheeks.
Shen Qinghuan didn't know how to comfort Ren Shuyan. She felt like a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"Ms. Shen, I haven't read the diary he left for you. There's not a single word in it." Ren Shuyan said seriously, "You may not believe what I say, but it's true."
She said, taking a deep breath secretly.
"I have to go. There are still many things waiting for me to deal with at home. His mother's health is not very good. I have to take care of her."
"Well, see you someday."
…
Ren Shuyan left the cafe.
It started to rain outside. At first it was just a drizzle, but then the rain got heavier and the sky got very dark. The roaring thunder and lightning like sharp swords intertwined.
Shen Qinghuan sat quietly in the booth, her fingers gripping the water cup tightening silently.
She didn't know how to describe her mood at this moment. She just felt a tightness in her chest and a little breathless.
Before she saw Ren Shuyan again, she had wondered if it was fake or a prank. But when she saw Ren Shuyan, she was completely certain that her neighbor's brother was really gone.
The bitterness buried deep in her heart was like a flood bursting through a dam, rushing through her body.
She covered her eyes with her hands, tears seeping through her fingers.
After a while, Shen Qinghuan's emotions gradually calmed down. She pursed her lips and tried hard to dispel the gloom.
The cell phone in my bag suddenly rang.
She picked it up, took a look at it, and then put it to her ear: "Hey!"
"Huanhuan, how are you? Did you meet Miss Ren?"
Li Meng had seen how rude Miss Ren was, and she was really worried that Shen Qinghuan would be bullied by her.
Shen Qinghuan nodded gently and said, "Yes, she has gone back."
Li Meng was stunned for a moment, a little bit confused, "Just left? She didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"
Shen Qinghuan curled her lips helplessly and said, "Well! After handing the things to me, she chatted for a few more words and then went back."
"Huanhuan, please accept my condolences!"
"I know! I, I'm not really sad, I just feel that he was so young, how could he leave so suddenly! The last time I saw him, he said he would send me an invitation..."
Shen Qinghuan's voice choked again, and she covered her eyes with one hand.
Li Meng didn't know how to comfort her. For a moment, she fell silent and could feel her sadness through the screen.
"It's raining outside. How about I pick you up? Let's eat out tonight? We're going to that private club run by Beichuan. Isn't their food not available for takeout? Then I'll take you there to eat."
Hearing Li Meng's words, Shen Qinghuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Going to the private club opened by Shi Beichuan to eat? Was she sure? What if she ran into Su Nian again... But after thinking about it, Shen Qinghuan no longer hesitated.
"Okay! Let's go to his house for dinner, but I'll be driving here, so you don't have to come pick me up. We can just meet at the club."
"I'd better take a taxi to your place! It's raining so hard now, do you think I can trust you, a pregnant woman, to drive by yourself?"
Shen Qinghuan smiled slightly, with warmth in her eyes, "Okay! Then I'll wait for you here, you can take a taxi over."
After the call ended, she sat in the lobby waiting, feeling extremely bored.
Suddenly, a noisy quarrel broke out, sounding particularly harsh in the quiet hall.
Shen Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked over.
In a corner of the coffee shop, I saw Li Mingzhu arguing with a middle-aged lady. The middle-aged lady raised her hand without hesitation and slapped her hard. Then she sneered and said, "Miss Li, since your parents won't teach you how to behave, why don't I teach you on their behalf?"
After the middle-aged lady finished speaking, she raised her hand sharply and slapped Li Mingzhu hard.
