Chapter 183: The Secret of the Tombstone
Sure enough, early the next morning, Shen Nian and the housekeeper drove to the downstairs of Shen Guantong's house, Shen Nian made a phone call to Shen Guantong, and then walked out of the car and stood on the side of the road to smoke.
Looking around, Shen Nian couldn't help frowning, he never thought that his daughter would live in such a place, and the evil smell coming from the sewer pipes came from all around.
There were many people sitting downstairs playing chess and poker, and when they saw a luxury car driving by, they couldn't help but turn their heads and secretly look at Shen Nian who walked down from the car with their spare eyes, their eyes full of disdain.
It seemed that Shen Nian's arrival broke their original peace, Shen Nian looked at the hot eyes around him, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, half of the cigarette was smoked, and then he threw it to the ground, and used his dark and shiny leather shoes to crush the cigarette butt that had not dispersed.
When he got to the car, Shen Nian leaned his head on the back of the chair, stretched out his right hand and pushed the glasses up, rubbed his swollen temples, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out.
I can't help but think of the way I struggled when I was young, and the place where I lived in this kind of environment is not a community, because it is completely open, not to mention the danger, and the evil smell emitted around him every day makes him unable to sleep.
One day on his way to work, he met a gorgeously dressed woman who spoke elegantly, and when he saw her wearing gold earrings and necklaces, Shen Nian secretly made up his mind.
It was at that time that he underwent a major change in his thinking, and when he saw such a graceful and luxurious woman, with a beautiful face and a graceful figure, he stepped forward to talk.
She was different from others, when she saw a waiter in a restaurant, everyone was disdainful, but she was smiling, staring at Shen Nian in front of her with her eyes, and her words were gentle.
Finally, under Shen Nian's soft grinding and hard bubbles, this woman was taken down, and the two quickly held a wedding, but Shen Nian had only one purpose at that time, nothing more than wanting all the family property of this woman.
And this woman is Shen Guantong's mother, after the two got married, Shen Nian's attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees, from that diligent teenager to a prodigal son.
The happiness she didn't enjoy at the beginning all erupted in a crazy revenge after the two got married, and her family originally disagreed with the marriage, thinking that the disparity between the two families was too big.
But she married her without hesitation despite everyone's opposition, and the two didn't even have a decent wedding, but ordered two of her favorite dishes in a small restaurant.
Time passed, this woman left with hatred, waited for Shen Nian for a year, but the one she changed ended up without a problem, but she never complained about Shen Nian until he took Lin Yu's mother and daughter back.
At that moment, her heart was like a knife, looking at Shen Ruoruo, who was about the same age as herself, she chose to forbear and retreat, she didn't want a child of the same age as Guan Tong to be born without a father.
Therefore, she chose to retreat, chose forbearance, chose to quit, and finally died with hatred half a year after giving birth to Shen Guantong.
As soon as he recalled this past, Shen Nian's mind seemed to have thousands of poisonous insects eating away at his brain at the same time, making him feel painful.
The most unbearable thing for Shen Nian is that as Shen Guantong gets older and older, he looks more and more like that woman, every time he sees Shen Guantong's face, Shen Nian remembers his muddy days.
This woman, like a ghost, has been hovering in Shen Nian's mind, becoming a knot that Shen Nian can't untie in his life.
He didn't hate Shen Guantong, but hated her mother, and her existence seemed to always remind him how humble and embarrassed he was.
It is precisely because of her, no matter how successful she is, no matter how respectful others are in front of him, she will poke his backbone behind his back and say: Do you know? Shen Nian is a soft rice man who started by women.
And Lin Yu is different, Lin Yu has no parents since she was a child, and she works hard outside, she was originally a waitress serving dishes in a restaurant, her eyes when she looked at Shen Nian, they were full of love, and they were all lovely.
Such a woman made Shen Nian instantly arouse a man's possessiveness and protectiveness, when he tentatively pulled Lin Yu's hand, she didn't dodge, and at that moment, their love burst out like this.
Looking at that woman again, she never had the word defeat in her eyes, which was a fatal blow to a macho Shen Nian, and Shen Guantong just completely inherited this from her mother.
Just when Shen Nian was still thinking about something, the car door was pulled open with a bang, Shen Nian was so frightened that his body trembled, he sat up and looked at the back seat, and Shen Guantong sat quietly in the back.
"Coming?"
"Hmm!"
The father and daughter were like two strangers, there was no warmth in their words, but there was some hostility, Shen Guantong looked out the window quietly, his brain was running rapidly.
And Shen Nian secretly observed the expression on Shen Guantong's face through the rearview mirror, as if he had something to say, but he wanted to say something.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the place, Shen Guantong frowned slightly, isn't this still the old residence of his mother who came with Shen Nian and them last time?
Shen Nian raised his head and pointed in the direction not far behind the mountain: "There, is your mother's tombstone." Shen Guantong listened, frowned slightly, and did not say a word.
What kind of attitude did this Shen Nian have towards his mother, even after she died, she was not buried in the ancestral grave of the Shen family, but was hastily buried behind her own small courtyard.
"Let's go check it out. Shen Nian said, waving his hand at Shen Guantong, Shen Guantong nodded, walked up in the direction of the hillside, and sure enough, he saw the graves overgrown with weeds around him.
It's just that when Shen Guantong saw his mother's tombstone, he was stunned, his mother's tombstone was wordless, and there was not even her name, Shen Guantong subconsciously turned his head and looked at his father.
Is it just because he doesn't love her, so he doesn't even deserve a name in this world?
At this time, Shen Nian seemed to see through Shen Guantong's thoughts: "This is your mother's last wish, saying that she wants to guard you here and grow up with you, saying that there should be no words on her tombstone, and she said that it is a secret that belongs to the two of you at this time." ”
The secret of the two of us? Shen Guantong couldn't help frowning, what is the secret between himself and his mother? His mother died just half a year after he was born, what consensus could he reach with his mother at that time?
Shen Guantong stared at the tombstone in front of him with some puzzlement, and did not say anything for a long time.
