Chapter 45 Chapter 46
Sheng Congsu took the evening plane back to Busan, and the continuous light rain on Bure Island finally turned into a torrential rain, and the icy rain fell on the fuselage like hail. In the dark night sky, there was no starlight at all, only the pitiful reading lamp in the cabin.
Everyone else was sleeping, only Sheng Congsu was still reading, and the cabin was so quiet, only the slight sound of him flipping a book remained.
It was the second half of the night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. The book in front of me is also seven, seven, eighty, eight. "The White Queen" by Philippa Gregory, the famous "War of the Roses" in England, three women are drawn into conflict. Sheng Congsu suddenly remembered that one of the side branches of the famous and huge Plantagenet Dynasty was the Lancastrian Dynasty, where Henry IV, Henry V and Henry VI ruled England on behalf of the Lancaster royal family for more than 6o years, which is the previous kings that Song Ru and my cousin once produced.
Who would have thought that in a poor family in the countryside, that beautiful little girl was actually a nobleman? She has suffered countless humiliations because of her money, and in the end she knows that she is the real aristocratic family.
Yuan Lang studied astrophysics at King's College, and his classmates included Mary of Lancaster and Mark Zhao, who was of Chinese descent. The boring college life and picturesque campus make many young people rush to the beam of love. And Mary soon fell in love with Mark Zhao, both of them were at a good age, inseparable, Mary even broke away from the family for the sake of the Chinese Mark Zhao, and she ended up wandering the world with her lover. Soon after graduating from college, they gave birth to a daughter, named Lily, and before a trip, the couple gave the child to their classmate and friend Yuan Lang. And it was on this trip that little Lily lost her parents.
Yuan Lang officially adopted this fatherless and motherless child, and Mary, who broke away from the family, left a trust fund for little Lily to grow up. And Mark Zhao's family has not heard from him, and since then, Xiao Lili has become like me, living in Dongwu Town with Yuan Lang and growing up.
After a dozen hours of long-distance flight, the sky changed from dark to bright. In the huge terminal, Sheng Congsu wore a black trench coat with an open placket and a classic Burberry scarf inside. The man is tall and long-legged, with a cold and hard face, and a pair of black sunglasses on his face.
When Sheng Quan saw him, he felt that he had seen a savior, and immediately ran forward, took his luggage and immediately said with a smile: "Seventh Prince, you can be regarded as back." ”
Sheng Congsu still spoke coldly, and it wasn't until he got into the car that he asked, "What about Langyang?" ”
Sheng Quan didn't know how to tell the person in front of him who spoiled his daughter to become a demon, the little lady had rebelled, and she shouldn't be too happy without her father.
An hour later, we finally arrived at Xiangjiang Villa on Jiangsu Road. This property is now in Song Ru's name, Sheng Quan is sitting in the co-pilot's seat, secretly looking at Sheng Congsu who is still sitting in the back seat very calmly from the rearview mirror. I really don't know what he's thinking.
The scenery by the window gradually became familiar, and he chose a place for thousands of times. Here, Sheng Congsu once held Song Ru and me again and again from the gate of the community to the house. When she was uncomfortable, it was the closest she was to him.
Sheng Congsu got out of the car, Busang had already arrived in the spring of March, the weather was gradually warming, and the wicker beside the boulevard began to pull out buds. It's a completely different scene from Scotland thousands of miles away.
Finally arrived outside the villa, Song Ru probably didn't know that the interior decoration of the villa was designed by him. By now, it's too late to say what you haven't said and what you can't say.
Today is not a weekend, Sheng Yang has already started school. Song Ru: I still stayed in the screening room on the second floor to watch a movie. The house is empty and quiet, and sometimes it's really creepy.
Song Ru I haven't opened my mouth to tell my daughter that she has divorced Sheng Congsu, and the custody of the child has belonged to her.
There was a sound downstairs, followed by the sound of shoes colliding with the stairs. Suddenly, a light came from the dimly lit screening room, and then the light grew stronger and stronger, and finally the door opened.
Song Ru I turned around, and she saw Sheng Congsu standing at the end of the light source against the light. His face was calm, his face was hard, and his long and narrow eyes revealed a sense of nobility.
"Do you have time? Let's talk. ”
After he said this, he closed the door. The room fell into darkness again, and Song Ru and I didn't speak, it was very quiet. Only in the old black-and-white movie not far away, the heroine said to herself: herday.
Handmade leather shoes stepped on the carpet without the slightest sound. Sheng Congsu quietly came to Song Ru and me like this, and he even sat next to Song Ru and me, sharing a piece of sand with her.
Song Ru's expression suddenly became cold, and she even wanted to leave when she got up. Sheng Congsu saw this sign and grabbed her hand as soon as he could.
She didn't move, she stiffened. Only a soft sigh was heard. Then Sheng Congsu's voice seemed extremely tired and said slowly: "Little me, I'm also tired." ”
"Let's watch a movie together. Do you have to watch movies when you fall in love now? ”
After Sheng Congsu finished speaking, he immediately got up and walked to the DVD player to pick up a movie. He spoke as he picked, as if he was admonishing: "I'll pick her up today and talk to her about the future." You don't have to worry, but you need to pay attention to your safety these days, you don't seem to be in good health. ”
He picked and chosen, and finally picked a British movie. "Don't Let Me Go" adapted from the novel. Behind the youthful and beautiful cast is a painful and sad storyline.
knew the ending earlier, and had already set the trajectory of life, and no matter how much he struggled, it was in vain.
It's like the love he's been looking for for for decades.
In the picturesque English countryside, the little friends are slowly growing. Sheng Congsu gently took Song Ru's hand. He held her tightly, not allowing her to escape at all.
"Last question, why are you crying? Why? ”
Song Ru and I suddenly remembered that night, that sketch, that photo. Her shameful and ugly secret. What kind of feelings did Sheng Cong look like under his angry face?
Sheng Congsu sighed, and he said, "It's come to this point, and it's okay to tell me the answer, little me." ”
Song Ru still didn't reply, and she felt that the hand he was holding quietly was slowly letting go. The movie has come to the end, and it is really the sentence at the beginning of the film: I never thought that our lives have been tightly intertwined, and they will be separated all of a sudden, if I had known, maybe I would have grasped them more tightly and not let the invisible force break us apart.
Sheng Congsu finally let go of her.
He seemed to laugh at himself, and then said with a smile, "If you hadn't said it, I thought you might have loved me a little too." Why else would you cry, and cry so sadly? Look, do you think we're pathetic? If I could, go back seven years ago, and I would be able to tell you that I actually like you too, do you want to think about it. ”
Sheng Congsu stood up, and the ending song of the movie had already begun to sound in the screening room, and in the quiet and sad tune, Sheng Congsu nodded in greeting, and then left.
Song Ru: I felt that there was a place in my heart that suddenly became empty. She obviously hated him so much, for so many years, she hated him so much that she stabbed him in the heart. But at this moment, she actually felt lost and confused.
And this confusion and loss, Yan zhòng to her heartache.
The ending song ends, and all that remains in the screening room is the sound of her breathing. One after another. Song Ru remembered that seven years ago, Sheng Congsu was still a noble guest to her. But this well-dressed guest will help her cook and mop the floor. He would say that girls shouldn't do such rough work, unlike Li Mubai, who would just sit and watch her uncleily.
Why, why is it the way it is? Obviously very good and very good people, after all, they carved bloody traces in each other's lives in the wrong way, and in the end they were scarred.
Sheng Congsu walked out of the door of the screening room and went to the study to pack his things, Sheng Quan stood aside to help, and he didn't even dare to come out, and then he followed Sheng Congsu to the cloakroom to pack up his clothes.
The old housekeeper went upstairs, and he heard Sheng Congsu instruct him: "I'll take some of these things away a little, and you can throw away the rest." ”
"Little Seven. I...... I want to retire. ”
Sheng Congsu finally stopped what he was doing, and he glanced at the old housekeeper standing in front of him, who was older than himself in the Sheng family's service and study. Sheng Congsu's cold side face finally cracked.
"You are still needed here. You are also needed. ”
The old housekeeper shook his head and sighed: "Xiao Qi, I'm confused." There are some things that she is too ruthless. ”
It is self-evident who this "she" refers to.
Sheng Congsu closed his eyes: "No need to say more." ”
He went downstairs all the way, followed by the old butler and Sheng Quan. For the first time, the villa, which had never been visited by strangers, was ringing the doorbell by two strangers.
They introduced themselves as criminal police officers in civilian clothes, and said that there was a murder case that required Sheng Congsu's cooperation in the investigation.
Sheng Congsu nodded and followed them without even looking at them. He followed the police all the way out of the door, and it was still the same tree-lined path. On this road, he has hugged Song Rume countless times, and their family of three has also walked here quietly.
Song Ru I was standing on the balcony on the second floor, at this time the sun had set, full of fiery red sunset, and the sunset on the horizon. But it's the color of a drop of blood.
She watched him leave, all the way away.
