Rose Manor

Chapter 106 It's All Retribution
No one reacted, including Fu Jichen. They subconsciously turned around when they heard the sound, only to see Shen Jia Nian standing there stiffly, half of his face turned white and the other half was red and swollen.

Seeing that Shen Jia Nian was like a puppet, Zhou Ruo frantically pulled her arm and shook her, using her as an outlet to vent all the painful emotions she had accumulated over the past few days: "Why are you so cruel, why don't you let him go, you want to Come on me for revenge, why do you want to harm A Che! He likes you so much, you..."

"What are you doing?!" Pei Fengnan's face turned dark and he shouted at his wife.

There are so many guests here, all of whom are from the circle. Which one of them is not a human being? When she mentioned "revenge", did she think the scene was not chaotic enough?
Sure enough, everyone looked puzzled and started whispering.

"What is Mrs. Pei talking about? I can't understand a word."

"Isn't that the one from the Shen family? She actually returned to Beicheng. She was in the news with the young master of the Pei family before. According to Mrs. Pei, the death of Mr. Pei is related to her?"

"How is it possible? The two of them are childhood sweethearts..."

"I see she just came with Fu Da. What's going on?"

"Tsk, the rumors may be true. I heard that the destruction of the Shen family is closely related to the Pei family."

"I don't want to talk nonsense."

Fu Jichen strode up to the two of them, rescued Shen Jia Nian from Zhou Ruo, and protected her behind him. When facing Zhou Ruo, his eyes were cold: "Mrs. Pei, I understand how you feel about losing your beloved son, but in public, please respect yourself. "

He didn't use honorifics to his elders, which showed that he was angry.

Everyone present turned their attention to him and Shen Jianian, as if they had glimpsed some shocking secret, and they were all stunned.

Zhou Ruo took a step back and looked at the tall and cold man in front of her with tearful eyes. She could not afford to offend the Fu family, but she was not willing to let go of the opportunity to question Shen Jianian.

Ah Che's only belongings are a mobile phone and a coat.

He took the phone to a technician to repair the data and learned that his last call before his death was to Shen Jianian.

The call was very short, and Shen Jianian might have said something that irritated him, causing him to lose hope of living.

To go to a place like that and race with others is simply to die.

At the beginning of the year, one night, Ah Che passed out drunk on the roadside in a bar. Someone called the Pei family, and she personally took the driver to pick him up.Ah Che was so drunk that he was unconscious, chanting Shen Jiannian's name and saying that he would pay her with his life.

As a mother, she felt heartbroken and helpless. She tried to persuade him for a long time after he woke up, but to no avail.

Recalling these, Zhou Ruo's heart seemed to be torn apart by life. Her eyes were red and she looked directly at Shen Jianian with eyes full of hatred: "Speak, what kind of poison did you give him to make him miserable?" He died, and even the bones were not found, tell me, did you do it on purpose?"

Zhou Ruo's expression felt strange to Shen Jianian.

In my impression of the past 20 years, she has always been an elegant and gentle elder. She would hug her and call her "Xiao Nian" affectionately, wipe the sweat from her forehead with her hands, and tell her with a smile not to catch a cold.

I have never seen her look haggard and hysterical.

At the moment when Shen Jia Nian was lost in thought, Zhou Ruo suddenly knelt down in front of her in public, walked around Fu Jichen and grabbed the hem of her clothes, shook his head and sobbed: "Auntie is wrong, I shouldn't have beaten you, please tell Auntie, Ah Che before he died. What did he tell you? Did he mention me? He...how could he bear to leave me and his dad?" She was a little dazed, and then she began to mutter to herself, "It's all our fault, God. If you want retribution, it will be retribution on us. It has nothing to do with my son. He was such a good child, why is he gone? My Ah Che..."

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.

The veins on Pei Fengnan's forehead twitched. For fear that others would think too much, he grabbed his wife and explained to everyone in a calm voice: "Please forgive me, since something happened to the child at home, my wife has been a little crazy."

He called a relative of the Pei family and asked her to help Zhou Ruo go down to rest.

The suspicion in everyone's eyes slowly turned to sympathy. Not only did Mrs. Zhou give away the white-haired person to the black-haired person, she was still the only son in the family who lost, and no one could bear the change.

Fu Jichen took Shen Jia Nian away.

The rain outside was falling hard, and water splashed on the ground. Qu Mo saw the two people coming out from a distance, and came to catch them while holding an umbrella.The space under the umbrella is limited and cannot accommodate two people.Fu Jichen took the umbrella from his hand and held it above his head. He put his arm around Shen Jianian's shoulders, pulled her close to him and protected her under the umbrella.

Qu Mo ran back to the car in the rain and turned on the wipers.

When the two people came and sat in the back seat, he silently turned up the temperature of the air conditioner and drove out.

Fu Jichen told Qu Mo: "Go back to Yunding Palace first and then go to the company."

Hearing his voice, Shen Jianian came back to his senses and knew that he had work matters to deal with, so he said, "I have nothing to do. I will send you to the company first and then I will go back."

Fu Jichen was indeed very busy, so he did as she said.

The car changed direction at the intersection ahead and drove towards the Junshan Group Building.

The car was quiet for a while. Fu Jichen looked at Shen Jia Nian, raised his hand, and gently brushed her cheek with the pad of his thumb. His face became a little gloomy: "Let Aunt Cheng find some medicine for you to apply when you get home."

The purpose of bringing her here to pay homage to Pei Che was to let her say goodbye to the people and things in her past, but she didn't expect to get a slap in the face for nothing.

"I know." Shen Jianian lowered his eyelashes.

Seeing her dejected look, Fu Jichen hugged her into his arms, gently touched the top of her head with his chin, and said nothing, silently giving her a sense of peace of mind.

After nearly an hour's drive, we arrived at the Junshan Group headquarters building.

Realizing that Fu Jichen had to leave, Shen Jia Nian consciously withdrew from the warm embrace without waiting for him to say anything. She straightened the hair that had fallen on her face and turned to look at the towering buildings outside the window.

Although she grew up in Beicheng, this was the first time she passed by Fu's headquarters building. It was much more grand than Shen's office building, and it seemed that she couldn't see the top at a glance.

It's extremely cold at high places, and Fu Jichen is in such a position, so he doesn't know how much pressure he will be under.

"Would you like to go up and have a look?" Fu Jichen watched her looking at the building outside in ecstasy, and invited him with a smile on his lips.

Shen Jianian looked away and turned to look at him, slightly curved her lower lip: "No, you go up."

Fu Jichen paused, held her head with his big hand, leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead, reminding her again: "Don't forget to apply medicine on your face."

Shen Jia Nian watched him get out of the car and walk up the steps. His figure turned behind the glass door and got further and further away.

The car restarted, and Qu Mo heard a soft voice coming from the back seat: "Don't go back to Yunding Palace yet." Then, she reported her address.

Qu Mo thought for a while, it seemed like a cemetery?
He didn't ask any further questions and followed her instructions to drive to the cemetery, stopping halfway.

Shen Jianian opened the car door, turned sideways and held up an umbrella, got out of the car and walked into a flower shop that was open on the roadside, and bought two bouquets of flowers, one lily and one daisy.

Back in the car, she patted the rainwater that accidentally caught on her clothes: "Let's go."

After driving a little further, we reached our destination. The car parked under a cypress tree. At first glance, we could see long steps, and above the steps was the gate of the cemetery.

Qu Mo was sitting in the car with his hands on the steering wheel. Through the sometimes clear and sometimes blurry windshield, he saw Shen Jia Nian holding two bouquets of flowers in one hand and holding an umbrella in the other as he slowly walked up. His figure was particularly thin.

Guessing that she wouldn't be able to come out for a while, Qu Mo lit a cigarette and took two puffs when his boss called and asked, "Is she home?"

Qu Mo choked on the smoke and reported his current location truthfully.

There was silence on the other side of the phone. After a while, he said slowly: "Wait until she comes out and send her home safely."
