Chapter 474 How Should We Say Goodbye?
Si Yao was choked with sobs and couldn't speak. Her tears flowed like rain, and her tears fell into the fire. The hissing sound, the grievances accumulated in her heart, had nowhere to be expressed.
She didn't understand. She had lived for thirty years, why did someone want her dead? Be it Si Zhen, Guan Shanshan, Ao Guangxiao and Hu Wei from MRT Logistics, they all wanted to kill her!
But what did she do wrong?
She never had such big ambitions. When her mother passed away, she studied hard, went abroad to study, graduated early, and found a good job on Wall Street.
If Si Xuezhong had not asked her to return to China, she might have become a well-known investment consultant now.
But even so, she returned to Jiangcheng City and lived a stable life teaching at Jiangcheng University, which she felt was a good life.
But why didn't God let her go?
If it weren't for Su Yang, she would have died long ago. How could she kneel here and burn paper for Huang Yun...
She cried heartbreakingly and was in great pain. Su Yang hugged her and patted her shoulder.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Si Yao threw herself into Su Yang's arms. She hadn't cried like this for a long time. The burning flames, with their scorching temperature, danced wildly with the wind, but she didn't feel hot. She only felt waves of warmth that drove away the bone-chilling coldness in her body.
I don’t know how long I cried until the fire went out. Then Si Yao wiped her tears and stood up.
Su Yang patted the dust and snow off her body and said, "We will come to see Auntie every year from now on. Don't cry, or your face will be frozen."
He wiped Si Yao's tears.
Si Yao nodded with red eyes. No matter how strong she was, she was still a woman after all.
Dong Zhendong's secretary had already walked a long way away. It was really uncomfortable for him to stay there, but it was also not convenient for him to walk with Dong Zhendong. He could only stay away from him, shivering with cold, and stamping his feet to keep warm.
After putting out the fire, Su Yang took Si Yao and walked towards the path outside the forest.
Dong Zhendong and Si Ruyun, who had walked a long way, walked back slowly.
The two stood in front of Si Ruyun's Maybach, without taking another step forward, in silence...
“No matter how long the road is, it will eventually end.”
Dong Zhendong looked at Si Ruyun and spoke with a smile.
Si Ruyun took a deep breath and looked at Dong Zhendong. For just a moment, her thoughts seemed to go back to thirty years ago. She looked at Dong Zhendong with a rare smile on her face. She slowly said, "Then how should we say goodbye?"
There was an indescribable complexity in Dong Zhendong's eyes, but he still smiled.
"Just like when we first met!"
Si Ruyun slowly stretched out her hand, and this moment seemed to be gradually overlapping with that night more than thirty years ago.
"Hello, my name is Si Ruyun."
Dong Zhendong also stretched out his hand and shook hers tightly.
"Dong Zhendong."
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Si Ruyun let go of her hand first, then turned around, opened the car door and got in.
Dong Zhendong exhaled, and the breath formed into a white mist in the air. With a tired smile on his face, he turned to look at his secretary who was standing far away and looking at him with a thermos cup in his hand.
"Xiao Sun, let's go, everyone must be getting impatient waiting!"
Xiao Sun hurried over: "Hey, here I come!"
Dong Zhendong took a few steps, then turned around and looked at Su Yang: "Su Yang..."
Su Yang smiled bitterly and stood up straight.
Dong Zhendong raised his hand and pointed at him: "This is now a barren mountain and wilderness, and it is true that there are collapsed and flooded areas, but I will give you three years, and you must give me a brand new Sili Village!"
"As long as you can do this, I will forgive what happened today!"
Just as Su Yang was about to refuse, Dong Zhendong interrupted him: "You brought a group of us here over mountains and ridges, and all you see is a few broken hilltops and stinking water bubbles?"
"If you refuse, then go down and apologize to everyone in person!"
"Developing Daqing Mountain is something our generation failed to do. Now it's your generation's turn. This is a beautiful mountain and water, and it shouldn't be buried like this. Think about it carefully and then answer me."
Su Yang scratched his head. He only wanted 30% of Songjiang Construction's shares in Si Ruyun's hands. Who knew how it became related to the development of Daqingshan.
But three years is still plenty of time.
"Okay, I promise, I'll make this place look brand new in three years!"
"But you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone else, especially Mayor Jiang, about how I tricked everyone into running away to the ravine!"
Dong Zhendong smiled but said nothing. He stopped talking and just walked down the mountain with his secretary.
As for Su Yang, Si Yao is still here, so let him go back with Si Yao.
Si Yao watched Dong Zhendong go down the mountain, then she turned around and looked at Su Yang: "You are so brave, how did you think of inviting Mr. Dong here?"
Su Yang smiled bitterly: "It was a coincidence, plus he wanted to come, so I just went with the flow."
While the two were talking, Si Ruyun had already started the car, turned it around, and drove down the mountain.
Su Yang's face changed: "Boss Si, Boss Si... Aunt, don't leave yet, let's talk about Songjiang Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., Aunt!"
Si Ruyun ignored them and drove right past them and went down the mountain.
Su Yang slapped his thigh fiercely: "This woman is not trying to default on her debt, is she?"
Si Yao sighed: "Originally I could take a car down the mountain, but now I can only walk with you. Let's go. We have just reached Sili Village. It will take time for you to ask someone to send a car over. Why don't you come to my house and stay for a while."
Su Yang sighed. He really did not gain anything but ended up losing the rice. In all his time in the business, he had never suffered such a big loss.
Not only did he not get the shares in Songjiang Construction, but he was also assigned such a crappy job, but he didn't dare to refuse.
The two walked along the mountain road, all the way down, until they reached the cement road. After walking another eight or nine hundred meters down, Si Yao stopped outside the door of a three-meter-high wall.
She blew a breath of hot air onto her hands, and seeing Su Yang's somewhat surprised look, she explained, "The wall wasn't this high originally, but later on people always wanted to come and see it, so my dad had someone build a high wall, and the things placed inside are all the things he and my mom had when they first got married."
"Every year after I sweep the graves, I come here to clean up."
"It's strange, this house has people living in it, it's full of life, so it won't collapse no matter how dilapidated it is. But if no one lives in it, no matter how well it's built, it will still leak today, crack tomorrow, and the walls will collapse tomorrow."
Si Yao said as he unlocked the door.
Su Yang followed her and walked in. In front of him was a large courtyard, framed by walls and pillars. It seemed like a world of its own. He was secretly amazed. It was the first time he had seen such a large courtyard.
There are three tiled houses in the yard. The one facing the front is the main house, and the two next to it are one wing room and the other should be a warehouse.
Si Yao pointed to the wing room and said, "My aunt and second uncle used to live here, and my parents lived in the main room. It's very cold outside. Come in and sit for a while. Although it's not warm, it can at least block the wind."
