Five years after my wife's death, she came back!

The old residence of a merchant.

Cheng Suyun sat on the sofa, listening to Meng's mother's tearful rant, and couldn't help but frown: "You've been talking for so long, but I still don't know what happened between Shuyan and Chenyan. How can I bring it up with Chenyan if I don't know the reason?"

Meng's mother wiped away her tears, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Shuyan knows that Shenyan has a little secretary by his side. You also know that Shuyan has been spoiled since childhood and has always liked Shenyan, so he used a slightly wrong method for a moment."

"What did she do?"

Meng's mother recounted Meng Shuyan's actions in a roundabout way, and Cheng Suyun fell silent.

So the girl she saw at the villa on the hillside that day wasn't Shi Ying? She was just Shang Chenyan's new secretary who looked like Shi Ying?

But that doesn't make sense. Shang Chenyan himself admitted that it was Shi Ying.

Cheng Suyun was in a real bind. Her life, which had been peaceful for five years, had suddenly become chaotic again.

"Suyun, I've never asked you for anything. Shuyan is my only child. Please put in a good word for us with Chen Yan. We can give up any company projects, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for Shuyan..."

"Where is Shuyan going now?"

"I told her to go abroad to relax and not come back for a while."

Cheng Suyun sighed and was about to agree when she saw Shang Haisheng come down from upstairs.

Although he was old, his voice was still very strong: "Currently, Shen Yan is in charge of the group. We can't interfere in the company's affairs, and we certainly can't interfere in Shen Yan's private affairs."

Meng's mother became anxious upon hearing this, but Shang Haisheng did not give her a chance to speak again: "Instead of coming here and trying to fool us, you should take Shuyan to apologize to Chen Yan properly and bring the young girl back to explain things clearly."

"Wang Ma, see the guests out."

Meng's mother was half-forced to leave. Cheng Suyun looked at the man sitting down on the sofa and frowned, saying, "Why are you being so heartless?"

Shang Haisheng sneered, "You're so soft-hearted. You're soft-hearted to everyone, but why aren't you a little soft-hearted to your son?"

"I..." Cheng Suyun was speechless for a moment.

"Don't you even know how old he is? He's been all alone for so many years. Now that he finally has someone he likes, you're helping outsiders to get rid of him." Shang Haisheng said with a hint of exasperation, "I really want to see what's going on in your head."

Cheng Suyun sat on the sofa with a sullen face: "Fine, fine, I don't care anymore. I won't get involved in his affairs anymore, okay?"

Shang Haisheng moved closer and sat down next to her: "You shouldn't have interfered a long time ago. You didn't care when you should have, and now he's almost thirty, why should you interfere?"

"Stop worrying about things. You're always worrying about nothing, and now you have more wrinkles."

Upon hearing the word "wrinkles," Cheng Suyun slapped his hand: "Shut up."

After leaving the store, Meng's mother called Meng Shuyan.

Judging by the time, she should have landed by now.

But no matter how she called or texted, she couldn't get in touch with him, and Meng's mother became extremely anxious.

She wanted to go back to find Cheng Suyun again, but the security guards at the door wouldn't let her in no matter what she said.

Shang Haisheng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, looking at Meng's mother anxiously outside, and frowned slightly.

The butler said from behind him, "The person has been locked up in a mental hospital, sir. What do you think about this..."

"Don't let this get out for now." Shang Haisheng pinched the bridge of his nose. "He's ruthless when he does things."

"If the Meng family comes looking for Madam again, should we send them all away?"

Shang Haisheng turned around and sat down in a chair: "From now on, don't let anyone from the Meng family in, and don't say anything more to Madam."

"Okay, I understand."

Shang Haisheng knew how Shang Chenyan dealt with the Meng family. He didn't think Shang Chenyan had done anything wrong. After all, how could one hold onto their position if they weren't ruthless?

Five years ago, he thought Shang Chenyan's methods were too mild, but since Shi Ying left, he has become much more decisive.

Shang Haisheng didn't know whether Shi Ying was good or bad for him.

*

When Shi Ying returned home, she felt a little uncomfortable looking at the cold and deserted house.

It seemed like Shang Chenyan's voice was always in my ears, along with the sound of Shang Nian running around in her little yellow duck slippers.

She threw her bag down and collapsed onto the sofa.

With a headache, Shi Ying curled up weakly on the sofa. In her dazed state, she felt as if she were enveloped in a thick fog, unable to see anything in front of her.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she seemed to hear the howling of the cold wind, and she also heard her own voice.

......

"Where are we going?"

When the harsh winter of Jiangcheng arrived, Shi Ying had just finished her postpartum confinement.

Shang Chenyan wrapped her up tightly, a fluffy scarf covering half of her small face, leaving only her round, bright eyes showing.

He walked hand-in-hand with the girl in the park, and hearing her complaining tone, he laughed and said, "Didn't you keep saying you wanted to see the first snow?"

Shi Ying looked up at the sky: "Will it snow today?"

"Yes." Shang Chenyan hugged her. "If it doesn't snow, I'll have someone make artificial snow for you."

Shi Ying punched him lightly: "How childish!"

"But now that we're out here, Niannian will cry if she can't see me at home."

Shang Chenyan put his arm around her shoulder: "You asked Pei Yanchuan to keep an eye on her. You've been holding her for a month now, shouldn't you spend some time with me too?"

Before Shi Ying could even mock him for being jealous of the child, she suddenly felt a chill on the tip of her nose.

She looked up and saw snowflakes falling from the sky, gradually turning from light snow to heavy snow.

"It's really snowing!"

Shi Ying excitedly pulled him across the wooden bridge and ran into the wooden pavilion in the middle of the lake.

The first snow in Jiangcheng fell heavily, and in no time, a thin layer of white frost accumulated on the already frozen lake surface.

Shi Ying reached out to catch the snowflakes, making her hands very cold, and then bothered Shang Chenyan, insisting on warming her hands with his neck.

Shang Chenyan lowered his head good-naturedly and let her do as she pleased.

He looked at the girl's smiling face, which was like a ray of light illuminating his life.

They got married and had a lovely daughter. From this moment on, his life would only get better and better.

Shang Chenyan also turned his gaze to the white expanse of the lake. He vaguely saw a small bird landing on the lake, clumsily trying to fly away, but its two little feet slipped.

"Yingying, look over there..."

He wanted to share it with Shi Ying, but when he turned around, the huge pavilion in the middle of the lake was quiet and deserted.

"Yingying?"

"Yingying..."

......

Shi Ying suddenly woke up with a start.

She sat on the sofa, the cool moonlight shining through the window into the dark room, illuminating her lonely shadow.

Lake Heart Pavilion.

First snow.

disappear.

Before leaving, Pei Yanchuan's words gradually matched the scenes in his dream.

In the silent room, Shi Ying could only hear the rapid beating of her own heart.

Is she Shang Chenyan's wife?
