393 Alley, reluctant to leave her alone
The demolition of Tsing Yi Lane has come to an end.
Urban modernization is like a giant wheel, running over it is like walking on the ground, and there is no piece of armor left.
What was densely populated a few months ago is now in ruins.
In just a few dozen days, hundreds of houses here have been demolished, and perhaps in another year, there will be many high-rise buildings here.
Everything came so quickly, silently and so dramatically, changing everything as if it were just overnight.
"Is it all demolished?" He Huan asked while standing in front of the large ruins.
Zhou Shen nodded: "According to the progress of the project, the foundation will start in February next year." β
She smiled, faintly, and the emotion couldn't be seen as sadness or anything else.
Zhou Shen just felt that He Huan, who was standing in front of the ruins, looked particularly thin and fragile.
Yes, fragile.
Although she was also a small person before, she never made Zhou Shen feel that she was vulnerable, she seemed to contain infinite strength in her body, and she could always resist when she encountered setbacks, but now she was standing in front of her, and suddenly let him see "vulnerable".
"My house was demolished too, right?" She finally asked the question.
Zhou Shen scraped his forehead with his hands and paid half a salary.
"It should have been all demolished, and there are some furniture and household appliances, and I will help you deal with it."
These are all trivial things, He Huan won't care, anyway, the house was burned down, and there was nothing valuable.
"Can you come with me to have a look?"
"Yes."
Zhou Shen saw that He Huan's mood was quite stable, and agreed to take her into the alley.
In fact, there are no alleys anymore, the walls of the alleys have been demolished, and the entire Tsing Yi Alley has become a wasteland with a level view.
There was no way, and Zhou Shen could only take He Huan's hand and carefully turn over the ruins.
Zhou Shen actually couldn't tell which location was He Huan's house before, but He Huan knew.
She always knew where her home was, even if it was a mess of ruins and ashes.
The two walked for a few minutes, Zhou Shen actually couldn't find the direction, and completely followed He Huan, and finally He Huan stopped in front of a ruin.
"Here we are."
"Arrived?" Zhou Shen raised his head and vaguely argued that this should be He Huan's previous house, because the ruins were littered with blackened door frames and window ridges.
"Do you know why I'm here?" He Huan stood in front of the ruins and asked Zhou Shen.
Zhou Shen didn't speak.
He Huan turned around again, facing away from him.
"My dad refused to sign the demolition agreement before his death, and even though you raised the compensation by almost 50 percent, he still refused to nod his head. The neighbors in the village called him stupid, but only I knew that he wasn't stupid, he was just waiting for my mom to come back one day. β
He Huan took a few steps forward, getting closer to the ruins.
Zhou Shen didn't squeak and listened to her.
"He knows that my mother's life in the Shen family has not been comfortable all these years. The Shen family still treats her as an outsider, because she didn't give birth to a child for Shen Yuelin, but Shen Yuelin won't let her give birth, because they all reached an agreement with each other back then. My mother entered the Shen family, yes, Shen Che and Shen Mingyue agreed, but the premise is that my mother can't have children with Shen Yuelin......"
Zhou Shen was stunned.
I never thought there would be such a story in this.
"Then your mother is willing to agree?"
"What if you don't say yes? At that time, she was bent on getting out of Tsing Yi Lane and living a rich life, so as long as she could marry Shen Yuelin and let her become Mrs. Shen smoothly, she could agree to anything. β
But what about the facts?
She did successfully become Mrs. Shen, but she only took on a false name, and even her subordinates may not take her seriously, and the Shen family can sweep her out of the house at any time.
Over the years, Jiang Xiuyu has suffered no less grievances in the Shen family than He Huan, and He Huan has seen them all in her eyes, but she is not sympathetic.
At the beginning, everything was her own choice, leaving behind her husband, who loved her deeply, who had just been in a car accident, and leaving this family.
"Actually, I do." He Huan looked back at Zhou Shen and smiled bitterly, "If it wasn't for my father forcing her to take me to the Shen family, my mother would never have wanted me." She was ready to abandon her husband and children, but what about over there? The rich family and big family she misses don't take her seriously at all. My dad knew that she was suffering there, so he kept guarding the home in Tsing Yi Lane. β
He Huan's eyes were vain, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to be looking into the distance.
"I remember one time my dad got drunk and told me he had leaked. He said that he would wait for my mother to come back, and my mother would one day be in the Shen family and couldn't survive, so he had to guard this place and guard this dilapidated house, so that at least my mother would have a place to hide when she had no way out, at least a home! β
It's a pity that Jiang Xiuyu is obsessed.
Maybe what she said when she went to the hospital to see He Hai that day, such as that she would not go back, such as that she would spend in the Shen Mansion until she died, these words made He Hai's half-life wait become a bubble.
In fact, he has long been born without love, and he can listen to Jiang Xiuyu say it himself, so that he can go thoroughly.
He Huan took a hard breath, the wind blew so hard that she pushed her messy hair behind her ears.
"My mother never understood that broken bricks and tiles are sometimes much warmer than a luxury house and a luxury car."
It's a pity that now her father is gone, and the house is gone.
He Huan closed his eyes, tears falling.
Zhou Shen could feel the sadness on her body even if she stood so far away, and her small body standing in front of the ruins looked lonely and fragile.
"He Huanβ" he walked over and grabbed her shoulder.
He Huan glanced at him, his red eyes were full of tears.
"Zhou Shen, I don't have a father anymore, I have no relatives, I don't have a home......"
She looked at Zhou Shen with those eyes that became more and more pure black after crying, and she almost killed him.
Zhou Shen couldn't help but hug her into his arms and kiss her forehead and nose lightly.
"It's okay, you still have me."
Because of these words, He Huan turned around and hugged Zhou Shen's waist and cried bitterly in his arms.
It's good to have you, it's good to have you.
On the way back from Tsing Yi Lane, He Huan received a text message from Shen Che.
"I know you've been strong since you were a child, and the deceased is gone, take care of yourself."
Simple words, but gave He Huan some warmth and courage.
She knew that Shen Che did not appear at her father's funeral from beginning to end, and she also mentioned it to Zhou Shen on the day that Shen Yuelin and Jiang Xiuyu came to mourn, only saying that Shen Che was on a business trip and couldn't come back, so he didn't come, but this reason could not be established, He Huan knew that he was avoiding him.
After reading the text message, He Huan typed a line of words on the screen word by word: "Brother, thank you, I will take care of myself." β
After losing, she pressed the "send" button.
The news quickly spread to Shen Che's mobile phone, and when he saw that she still called him "brother", the corners of his mouth were raised, and he couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in, between sour and happy, but one thing he could be sure of was that each other's mood at this time was extremely calm and comfortable.
After the funeral, He Huan rested at home for a few days, anyway, the semester was almost over, and the school was also suspended for review, Zhou Shen saw that her face was too bad, so she was not allowed to live in school again a year ago, and sent someone to move her textbooks back from the dormitory and let her review at home.
Because of his father's sudden death, He Huan must have been in a bad mood during that time.
During the day, in addition to studying and practicing, she rarely goes out.
Zhou Shen was very busy at the end of the year, and it took three or four days to go on a business trip.
In the past, no matter where he went, no matter how long he stayed outside, he would not be in a hurry, anyway, he was alone wherever he went, so it didn't matter if he stayed in a hotel or at home, but now it was different, now he had a concern in his heart, knowing that He Huan was at home alone.
The girl was in a trance all day, and he was not at ease when he stayed outside for a few more days, so he rushed back non-stop after the work was done.
In the middle of January, Zhou Shen needed to go on a business trip again, and this time he went to Germany, and he needed to stay there for almost a week as planned, and it was almost the end of the month when he came back.
The night before leaving, Zhou Shen didn't go to work in the study, but sat on the edge of the bed and watched He Huan help him pack his luggage.
In the past, he did all these things by himself, and since He Huan moved in, she would occasionally help him arrange these trivial things.
Recently, she has been traveling frequently, and she happened to be idle, and gradually she did more and more, and finally it was all up to her.
"I checked, it's winter in Germany now, and the weather is very cold, I'll help you bring a few more velvet jackets, and the coats are all thick..."
Finally, I buttoned it up, and it didn't seem like the box was very full, and I should still be able to stuff something in.
"Don't bring a down jacket anymore, anyway, the down jacket won't hit anything, and you can still wear it when you go out at night." She talked to herself, and ran to the dressing room to pick out a dark down jacket.
Folded, compacted, and stuffed into the box bulging, and couldn't be stuffed in.
He Huan was a little anxious, Xiao Zhang was flushed, and finally he could only take out the sweater coat that had been folded and put it all together, put the down clothing at the bottom of the box, and then press other coat sweaters with a little weight on it, and finally buckle the buttons of the box belt......
As a result, the button couldn't be buttoned again, He Huan was a little discouraged, his hand clenched his fist and knocked on his clothes a few times, the force was too strong, and the neckline of the pajamas on his body was removed, revealing the pink neck and chest inside.
Zhou Shen sat on the edge of the bed and watched, watching her small figure running in and out of the room, busy for him, and there was a burning desire in her heart.
Maybe he has been living alone all these years, and he comes to everything by himself, and occasionally someone can move him for a long time by doing something insignificant, not to mention that this person is still his wife and his lover.
"Don't get it." Zhou Shen walked over and pinched He Huan's arm and pulled her up from the top of the box, "Let it go, I'll buckle it myself for a while." β
"But..."
"No, but!" His tone suddenly became domineering, his back palm supported her back, and he ripped open her pajamas with one hand, which was empty, all her delicate body.
He Huan was so frightened by him that he couldn't breathe, but he buried his head and gently bit her shoulder.
trembled, grinded, and fell on the bed with He Huan in his arms......
In the joy of confusion, he pinched her waist and asked, reluctantly cherished her lips, and asked in a hoarse voice: "I don't want to go alone, you will come with me tomorrow morning!" β
