Chapter 498 Finale
Time flies, the years pass by like a shuttle.
In a blink of an eye, Shen Nian and Shen Yu are already ten years old, and it is Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que's seventh anniversary.
During these years, Meng Zhizhou and Sang Xiaomian gave birth to a daughter and named her Meng Suisui, which means peace and security throughout the years.
Meng Yiyang and Wen Wan gave birth to a fat boy who just turned two years old this year and is still learning to speak.
The child was born prematurely and the doctor said his chances of survival were slim.
Fortunately, the child was very strong and managed to survive.
Meng Yiyang named him Meng Qingyou, which means pure and clean, and blessed by heaven.
As for Meng Tinglan and Qiao Shu, they haven't had enough of their life as a couple yet and have no plans to have children for the time being.
With the addition of two children to the family at once, including Shen Nian and Shen Yu, Meng's mother and father no longer had the energy to urge them.
It was Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que's seventh anniversary, and the two planned to have a little fun. So they asked Wang Xiao to pick up the two children from school and send them directly to Meng's father and mother.
As a result, the child disappeared.
Wang Xiao waited at the school gate for a long time, until all the students had left, but he didn't see any sign of Shen Nian and Shen Yu.
When they received the call, Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que had just got on the highway. When they heard that their child was missing, the couple lost all interest and immediately turned back.
Because they were not sure whether the child had gone somewhere to play mischievously, the couple did not rush to call the police, but secretly sent people to search the city.
Meng Zhiyi went back to his old ways and hacked into the surveillance network near the school, but couldn't find any clues.
The two children seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
Just when the couple was getting anxious, Meng Zhiyi received an anonymous message.
[The child is fine, don't worry, he will be back later. ]
Meng Zhiyi looked solemn and tried to find out who sent this message through various means.
The result was nothing.
Even the system said that the information was encrypted and it could not decrypt it.
At that time, in a park on the other side of the city.
Shen Nian and Shen Yu looked at the two people in front of them curiously.
"You look like the same person." Shen Nian stared at the gray-haired grandmother in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he said in surprise: "I remember, it's my great-grandmother!"
Shen Yu's face was serious. He reached out and pulled his excited sister: "Dad said that grandma has passed away. She is not."
Old Madam Shen and A Che looked at the two children in front of them, their eyes full of love.
Neither of them could have imagined that one day they would be able to see Shen Que and Meng Zhiyi's child.
"I'm your great grandmother." Old Madam Shen squatted down and looked at them lovingly: "I'm very happy to see you."
"But aren't you dead?" Shen Yu could sense that the two people in front of him had no ill intentions.
Old Madam Shen: "Just think of it as Grandmother coming by chance just to see you."
Shen Nian tilted her head: "Mom misses you very much, why don't you go see her?"
Madam Shen: "Because our fate has ended, entanglement will only bring disaster."
Shen Nian didn't understand what this meant.
Shen Yu didn’t quite understand either.
A Che stood behind Old Madam Shen, frowning and looking at them with a smile.
Shen Yu: "Then why did you bring us here?"
Old Madam Shen reached out and touched the two children's cheeks, and said softly, "Accompany grandma for a while."
"Oh." The brother and sister nodded obediently, and then went to Old Madam Shen's side, one on the left and one on the right.
She held the children on both sides and said, "This one is called Grandpa."
"Grandpa."
"Yeah!" Ache's eyes were filled with tears and he nodded repeatedly in response.
Old Madam Shen didn't take the children anywhere, but let them sit with her on the grass beside the artificial lake in the park.
A Che prepared some snacks and fruits for them and listened to them chattering about everything that had happened to Shen Que and Meng Zhiyi over the years.
"Mom often took us to burn incense for our great-grandmother, and also took us back to the Shen residence to show us photos of our great-grandmother and great-grandfather."
"My grandpa and grandma also live in the Shen residence. My grandpa always likes to tell us stories about my great-grandmother."
"And, grandma's room is still there. It's full of grandpa's and your things."
"Mom said that we will meet again on the other side of the world after a long, long time."
"So now is the long, long time later that mom mentioned? Because of this, we met."
Old Madam Shen looked at the setting sun reflected on the lake, sparkling like a fiery red fish floating on the water.
Listening to the children's innocent words, the two of them answered patiently until the last ray of sunset fell.
"My dears, it's getting late. It's time to go home."
Old Madam Shen and A Che were both reluctant to leave.
But their time has come.
When they sent the child to the doorstep, it was already dark. Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que, who had already returned home, could not wait any longer.
"Baby, can you tell grandma a message?"
The brother and sister nodded.
Old Madam Shen touched their heads and said something in a low voice.
"Did you remember that?"
The brother and sister nodded heavily and said in unison: "Remember!"
Madam Shen patted their buttocks gently and pushed them forward: "Okay, let's go home."
For some reason, the brother and sister suddenly felt like crying.
"Grandma, Grandpa."
The two men turned around and rushed over, each holding one.
"We're already at the doorstep, why don't you go in and see Mom and Dad?"
Old Madam Shen's eyes were filled with tears as she gently consoled him, "We will meet again. We will meet again."
At this moment, the smart lock on the door rang.
Shen Nian and Shen Yu turned around and saw Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que walking out.
"Dad, Mom."
"Look, it's grandma..."
The brother and sister turned around and wanted to point at the two people just now, but found that they were nowhere to be seen.
Meng Zhi was so anxious that she didn't even pay attention to what they had just said. She ran over and hugged them to check them.
"Where did you go? Do you know that your mother is worried sick?"
Shen Nian blinked blankly, pointed to where Old Madam Shen was just now and said, "Why are Grandma and Grandpa gone?"
Meng Zhiyi: "What did you say?"
Shen Yu spoke at this time and told them everything that happened when they sat in the park with Old Madam Shen for the whole afternoon.
Meng Zhiyi looked surprised and turned to look at Shen Que.
Shen Yu: "By the way, grandma also asked us to tell mom something."
Shen Que asked, "What?"
"Look at my past, look up to spring with me, the bright future is coming true, and the years are peaceful and tranquil."
The child's tender voice rang out, but in Meng Zhiyi's ears it seemed as if she heard the voice of Old Madam Shen.
Grandma wanted to tell her that no matter how many gains and losses and regrets there were in the past, she should let them go and greet the new future with a brand new attitude.
She came back hoping that everything would go well for her.
Meng Zhiyi raised his head and looked at Shen Que, and their eyes met.
Fireworks suddenly lit up in the night sky, dazzling and eye-catching.
Just like the broad road under her feet, paved with flowers and heading towards a bright future.
She will eventually move towards her own brilliance.
And we will be happy in the end.
