Chapter 243: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng
Chapter 243: Triggering Secrets
Regarding Zhan Chen's situation, he didn't hide anything from her.
Including the purpose behind what his mother did.
Someone who never left any troubles behind couldn't have accidentally let someone live, especially in such a tightly secured place.
It was all arranged by Sheng Qinghua.
Finding a weapon to kill Zhan Chen, eliminating this person who posed a hidden danger. Sheng Mingsi confronted his mother, and she vehemently claimed that everything was for him!
"How could I harm you! Do you know that Zhan Chen is now wanted worldwide? A country is searching for him everywhere. Keeping this person is a huge risk! How could it not have an extremely negative impact on our Sheng family consortium? I took care of the matter you couldn't handle. Did I really do something wrong?!"
"I wanted to save a life, and you killed him. You never knew what I truly wanted to do. I gave up on the family business. Mother, you are the one most suited to wield power."
Sheng Mingsi was ice-cold, his gaze coldly emphasizing, "Set me free."
Sheng Qinghua seemed to see his father for a moment—the person she brought out of the orphanage, who eventually betrayed her. Her eyes blurred. Had she really done something wrong?
Had everything been a mistake?
She swept everything off the table beside her, emotionally shouting, "Go! Just go! Don't come back anymore!"
...
After learning about everything, Jiang Chenchen couldn't help but feel even more upset.
Why was her birthday always so painful?
Zhan Chen still left.
Sheng Mingsi severed ties with his mother, something she didn't want to see.
Before leaving, she bid farewell to her friends and went to see Mrs. Sheng.
Leaving the old house, Sheng Qinghua stood by the window, looking down at the departing figure. The person who had always been proud, unwilling to bow down, now had tears overflowing from her eyes.
...
Sheng Mingsi decided to become a doctor in a small place where resources were scarce, and medical conditions were poor. He wanted to atone for his mother's sins; she had too much blood on her hands.
At the same time, he gave up on having Jiang Chenchen go with him.
"Chenchen, you haven't graduated yet. Decide how to live your life after you graduate."
Jiang Chenchen couldn't imagine living in this city without him. "Ah Si, I can't bear to be without you. I don't want to stay here alone."
"Chenchen, don't worry. I've arranged everything. You'll stay at Mingmei's house this year. She's my sister and your sister. Whenever you want to see me, just give me a call, and I'll be there immediately."
Sheng Mingsi's reassurance couldn't make her feel better. How could he appear immediately when they were so far apart?
It wasn't that she couldn't live without him; she was just afraid.
She hugged him, tears wetting his shirt. "Ah Si, you must wait for me."
After Sheng Mingsi left, Jiang Chenchen devoted herself to her studies, rarely socializing or going out.
The place she visited the most was the old house, checking on the elderly couple.
The tree in the yard had grown taller, and she often climbed to the top, looking up at the azure sky.
Just lost in thought.
Time passed minute by minute, and a year went by quickly.
On a rainy day, when she descended from the tree, she suddenly felt a strange sensation.
Stronger than any previous occurrences.
The old lady handed her an umbrella, cautioning her to be careful not to get wet in the rain.
Jiang Chenchen glanced at the old lady and asked tentatively, "Is there something buried here?"
The old lady shook her head in surprise. "No, what could be under here? Could it be those snakes again?"
The rain was too heavy.
Suppressing her doubts, Jiang Chenchen helped the old lady into the house.
When the rain stopped, she fetched a shovel, dug beneath the tree, and found a dull gray metal box buried deep. It looked inconspicuous.
Opening the box, she found only a dim and lifeless ring inside.
Like an unwanted relic.
Jiang Chenchen had never seen this object before, but it felt strangely familiar.
She picked up the ring, and as soon as it touched her finger, the ring seemed to come alive. A force flashed from it for a moment and then dimmed again.
She stared at it for a while.
Holding the ring in her palm.
The secret was hidden here, and no one else could use it except her.
Leaving the old house, she returned to school. Quickly packing her things, she took two days off and then bought a ticket to the city where Sheng Mingsi was.
After taking the train, she still had to take a bus to a remote town. After a long journey, she finally arrived.
It was a hospital in the town, and Sheng Mingsi was examining an elderly patient.
The rain was still pouring. The weather had turned chilly, and it was already dark by four in the afternoon.
Jiang Chenchen stood outside, pushing her suitcase, watching him. It had been a long time since she had seen him. The last time was during the summer vacation. He seemed to have lost weight. His skin remained cold and pale, lacking warmth.
He was seriously diagnosing the elderly person, and she was deeply engrossed in watching him.
When a nurse passed by, she glanced at Jiang Chenchen, noticed that she was soaked, and recognized her. The nurse called out to her and then shouted inside.
"Dr. Sheng, your girlfriend is here."
This was well-known gossip in the town hospital. The prestigious and handsome Dr. Sheng had a girlfriend who was equally beautiful. Their outstanding appearances made them stand out, and it was impossible not to notice when they were together.
Sheng Mingsi heard the voice and looked up at the door. When he saw Jiang Chenchen standing there, he paused for a moment. The black light in his eyes flickered slightly. He suppressed the indescribable emotions of suddenly seeing her and let her in.
Then, he draped his coat over her, whispering, "Wait for me for a while."
He handed her a hot water cup and continued with the examination.
After the elderly patient left, he closed the door, stood up, and touched Jiang Chenchen's face.
"Why did you come suddenly? You're all soaked. You might catch a cold."
Jiang Chenchen looked up at him, rubbed his palm against her face, and said gently, "Don't worry; I won't get sick. I just really, really missed you and had some news to share, so I came."
Sheng Mingsi didn't believe her when she said she wouldn't get sick. He went to get a dry towel and wiped her hair. Casually, he asked, "What news?"
"I found an item to return to my grandmother's house."
"What?"
This news made Sheng Mingsi pause in the middle of wiping her hair. There was a fleeting astonishment in his black eyes, but he quickly suppressed his emotions. He asked her, "Do you know where your grandmother's house is?"
"Yeah, as soon as I touched the item, I received all the relevant information. Although it sounds strange, I've checked related information. Beyond Earth, there are other planets and star systems."
Jiang Chenchen said as she put down the water cup and took out the ring. "Although it's unbelievable, my mother is not a human from Earth. This ring is the tool that allows me to go back."
