Chapter 66 Return to Hometown
What he said seemed quite right! But she felt extremely sad, as if she had been stabbed by a sharp blade.
Shen Qinghuan remembered very clearly that after her father was buried, her mother took her to the police station to discuss compensation. She sat quietly beside her mother and watched her mother bargain with the perpetrator. In the end, the perpetrator's family reluctantly gave them 1.2 million in compensation.
One million and two hundred thousand is his father's life!
Later, her mother sent her to her grandfather's house, and she never saw that woman again.
When she asked about her grandfather, he just said that when she grew up, her mother would come back to see her.
At that time, she didn't know that her grandfather had woven a white lie for her. In fact, the moment the woman took the compensation and left, he had already decided to abandon her. Because the woman said that she was a burden, and if she continued to follow her, she would not be able to pursue her own happiness.
After a while, Shen Qinghuan slowly raised her head and looked at Jiang Yu with an elusive sadness in her eyes.
"You're right. The living must continue to live, and they must try their best to live well."
She forced a smile and turned to look out the window.
Jiang Yu frowned at the mocking face, his patience draining away. He said, "Shen Qinghuan, Li Dazhu's son is dead. All I can do is try to compensate him financially and give him a decent job that's less strenuous."
Shen Qinghuan took a deep breath and clenched her fingers tightly, her nails almost digging into the tender flesh of her palm. It was obviously painful, but she seemed not to feel it, and her expression was a little dazed.
After hesitating for a moment, she said calmly: "Jiang Yu, I know that Li Dazhu's son is dead, and I also know that the dead cannot be resurrected. I just..."
Shen Qinghuan opened his mouth slightly, and his throat was choked.
"I'm sorry!" She put her hand on her forehead, feeling terrible. "Lao He, could you please pull over for a moment? I need to get some fresh air."
He Xian was stunned and hesitated.
He did not answer Shen Qinghuan immediately, but looked up at the rearview mirror, hoping to get some instructions from his boss's face.
But to his disappointment, Jiang Yu didn't even think of giving him any instructions. He just kept looking at Shen Qinghuan.
Seeing that He Xian didn't say anything, Shen Qinghuan naturally knew that he was taking Jiang Yu's feelings into consideration. After all, Jiang Yu was his boss. How could he dare to act on his own if his boss didn't say anything!
But she couldn't stay there for even a minute, her chest felt so stuffy it felt like it was going to explode.
"Can I ask Lao He to stop in front for a moment? I want to get off." Shen Qinghuan turned his head and looked at Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu felt that she was being unreasonable, and a slight dissatisfaction instantly arose in his heart. His expression unconsciously turned ugly. He said in a calm voice: "Shen Qinghuan, if you feel uncomfortable or dissatisfied with me, you can tell me, instead of being like this now, you are like this..."
Shen Qinghuan was still very calm, her eyes were unperturbed. If it were in the past, she would have quarreled with Jiang Yu long ago.
She gathered her thoughts, forced herself to calm down, and said calmly, "I just got out of the car to get some fresh air."
Seeing Shen Qinghuan insisted on getting off the car, Jiang Yu sneered, his face extremely gloomy, "Lao He! Stop by the side of the road!"
He Xian's heart was shocked, and he responded, "Okay! Mr. Jiang."
After he finished speaking, he slowly stepped on the brakes and parked the car steadily on the side of the road.
Shen Qinghuan didn't even glance at Jiang Yu. She picked up the handbag beside her, opened the car door and walked out without hesitation.
With a "bang", the car door was slammed shut again.
Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly, and his handsome face was now as cold as if it had been frost-hardened.
"Drive!" he ordered in a cold voice.
Feeling the low pressure inside the car, He Xian was so frightened that he dared not say a word. He had to start the car and leave as quickly as possible.
Shen Qinghuan didn't walk far, but stopped at a bus stop not far away.
She walked to the bus stop and took a look. She was surprised to find that there was a bus here that could reach the community where she used to live with her parents. A faint smile unconsciously appeared in her eyes.
Instead of walking forward, she sat down at the bus stop and waited for the bus.
The wind started to blow, and the fallen leaves were falling in a flurry. It was a bit cold. Shen Qinghuan unconsciously wrapped her coat tightly around her and shrank her neck. She glanced in the direction of the car from time to time. She seemed to be getting a little impatient waiting.
A silver private car suddenly stopped in front of her.
The tightly closed car window slowly lowered, revealing a warm and familiar face. He said, "Miss Shen, where are you going? I'll take you there."
Shen Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses belatedly. Her soft red lips curled up slightly, and she said softly, "Don't bother me, Doctor Zhou. It's very convenient for me to take the bus."
"Get in the car! It's really cold out here. If you catch a cold, it won't be worth it!"
It was obvious that Zhou Sinian was determined not to leave unless she got in the car.
