Chapter 54 - 54 Five Years Later, Face to Face
54 Five Years Later, Face to Face
Since she did not know how long this journey would take, Sang Qianqian packed two full suitcases of clothes.
Wen Xu helped her drag her luggage, and Sang Qianqian went to open the door. Yun Li called her at this time.
“I’m in a hurry to go to the airport. No, I’m not on a business trip.”
Sang Qianqian was truly anxious. “I don’t have time to explain it to you now. I’ll tell you in detail another day.”
She hung up the phone and opened the door.
Outside the door, Shen Hanyu’s face was extremely dark as he looked at her coldly.
Sang Qianqian trembled in fear and slammed the door shut.
No, no, she must’ve opened the door the wrong way. How could Shen Hanyu be outside her door?
“Sister, what’s wrong?” Wen Xu was dragging his suitcase with his head down and didn’t notice the door.
“No, nothing.”
Sang Qianqian sighed silently and opened the door again.
The person was still there, but his face seemed to have darkened even more.
Wen Xu’s face darkened. “Shen Hanyu, you’re pretty good at finding your way here!”
Shen Hanyu’s gaze slowly swept past the girl in front of him and the two huge suitcases that Wen Xu was pushing behind her.
His dark eyes were filled with overwhelming emotions, and Sang Qianqian shivered subconsciously.
His face was extremely cold, and his eyes were extremely dark.
The nightmare that she hadn’t thought of for many years flashed across her mind once again. It reminded Sang Qianqian of the way he looked at her in the dream. It was an indescribable feeling.
Sang Qianqian swallowed her saliva with difficulty and tried her best to smile. She tried her best to remain calm as she said, “Alright, long time no see. Why are you… here?”
Shen Hanyu stared at her expressionlessly. “Why don’t you ask yourself?”
Sang Qianqian’s hair stood on end. This sentence was exactly the same as what she had heard in her dream!
In her dream, she asked him why he wanted to take revenge on the Sang family. This was how he answered her: “Why don’t you ask yourself?”
She took two steps back almost instinctively to keep a safe distance from Shen Hanyu.
Shen Hanyu’s eyes turned even colder when he saw her reaction.
Knowing that Sang Qianqian was still alive, Shen Hanyu was overjoyed and rushed over without any delay.
Who would’ve thought that not only did she fake her death, but she also wanted to continue running away?
Even at this time, she didn’t say a word of explanation and continued to pretend to be confused, avoiding him like the plague.
The anger of being deceived and tricked all these years burst out in an instant, almost breaking his chest.
Shen Hanyu suppressed his anger and said, “Why did you lie to me?”
Sang Qianqian knew that she was in the wrong, so she didn’t dare to look at Shen Hanyu. “I-I have my own difficulties…”
Wen Xu couldn’t hold it in any longer. He pulled Sang Qianqian behind him and looked at Shen Hanyu coldly. “Shen Hanyu, why are you so fierce? Didn’t my sister fake her death just to deceive you? Why did you chase us all the way here to question us?”
He sneered. “If we really talk about it, my sister doesn’t owe you anything back then. She took a knife for you and almost lost her life. She survived and doesn’t want to have anything to do with you anymore. What’s wrong with that?”
Shen Hanyu was slightly taken aback, and his gaze on Sang Qianqian deepened with an indescribable meaning.
“You don’t want to have anything to do with me? Why?” he asked in a deep voice.
Sang Qianqian pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer. This question was difficult and couldn’t be explained in a few words.
However, Wen Xu didn’t care so much. He continued, “Why? You have the nerve to ask why? Shen Hanyu, my sister grew up in Ming City. The Sang family’s business is all in Ming City. But in the end, the Sang family had to sell their business and leave. My sister didn’t dare to return to Ming City for five years. I had to fly between Yuecheng and Ming City. Can you guess why?”
Wen Xu said hatefully, “Isn’t this all because of you? You still have the nerve to ask why?!”
Shen Hanyu’s pupils contracted, and even Guo Muyang, who was standing behind him, was completely dumbfounded.
Previously, he had thought that Shen Hanyu was looking for the whereabouts of the Sang family to confirm whether Sang Qianqian was still alive. He had thought that Hanyu had missed Sang Qianqian too much and that he had gone mad.
Who would have thought that this investigation would actually lead to news of Sang Qianqian and that she was really alive?
But how could Hanyu be related to the Sang family’s move from Ming City and Sang Qianqian’s fake death?
Back then, didn’t Sang Qianqian… like Hanyu?
Shen Hanyu’s gaze shifted from the girl who had her head lowered in silence to Wen Xu. “Wen Xu, I don’t understand what you mean,” he said coldly.
“If you don’t understand, then I’ll tell you. Your mother died in the Sang family’s hospital. Although it was an accident by the nurse, it’s hard to guarantee that the Shen family won’t harbor any thoughts of revenge. That’s why the Sang family had no choice but to leave.”
Wen Xu said, “Because of you, my sister often wakes up from nightmares. Shen Hanyu, do you really not know how unlikable you are?”
Sang Qianqian pulled Wen Xu back. “Wen Xu, stop talking.”
“What can’t I tell him? Sister, don’t be afraid. You’ve been hiding from him for five years. There’s no need to hide from him in the future. Let’s make everything clear today!”
When Wen Xu thought about the past few years, he felt really aggrieved. Not only for Sister Qianqian and the Sang family but also for himself.
Originally, if the Shen family hadn’t caused such a ruckus, he and Sister Qian would’ve studied abroad together and returned to Ming City together after their studies.
They didn’t even need to fly here and there to see each other. As for the Sang family, they didn’t need to live in a foreign land and start all over again.
This reasoning sounded outrageous. However, Shen Hanyu knew that Wen Xu’s words weren’t baseless.
Back then, when Sang Qianqian was in his arms and her life was hanging by a thread, she still begged him not to blame the Sang family and not to make things difficult for the Sang family.
Shen Hanyu did not know why Sang Qianqian was so certain that he would be able to make things difficult for the Sang family.
However, even if Sang Qianqian had not blocked the blade for him, he would not have gone as far as Wen Xu had said.
Sang Pengcheng had always been kind to the Shen family, but Sang Qianqian…
How could he take revenge on the Sang family?
Shen Hanyu was silent. The anger in his heart gradually faded and was replaced by an indescribable bitterness.
He had thought that since Sang Qianqian was willing to protect him with her own body, she would at least treat him differently.
Before he came, he had thought of many possible reasons behind Sang Qianqian’s fake death and departure.
However, he had never expected that Sang Qianqian simply did not want to have anything to do with him.
All those years of suffering and obsession seemed to have become a joke in an instant.
Even though his emotions were fluctuating violently, Shen Hanyu’s face remained calm. “This is your reason?”
He looked at Sang Qianqian firmly. “In your heart, am I that unreasonable and unable to distinguish right from wrong?”
Since things had come to this, it was indeed better to make things clear.
Sang Qianqian raised her eyes and met his gaze calmly. “I don’t know, but I really don’t dare to risk my family’s lives. After all, everyone has seen what the Han family has gone through.”
