Chapter 601: Chapter 688: If You Truly Died, I Would Not Live Alone
Shi Yu didn’t even give Shen Cheng a chance to reach for the glass, he snatched the glass from Feng Jiu Mei’s hand, placed it on the table, and pulled Shen Cheng to stand up, "We’re going home to rinse."
Wen Wan brought fruits to the balcony at this moment, and seeing that the two were leaving, she couldn’t help frowning, "Why are you leaving without having dinner?"
"We’ve already eaten."
As Shi Yu led Shen Cheng out, he looked back at Feng Jiu Mei and Wen Wan when they reached the doorway, and coldly said, "Mom’s stomach isn’t good, don’t let her eat too much."
Feng Jiu Mei nodded, "Mm, I know."
Wen Wan’s bad stomach was due to long hours and irregular meals when the company was first established, which led to her developing a gastric problem that had been with her for over a decade.
At that time, Feng Jiu Mei had not yet left the Shi Family, so she knew about Wen Wan’s condition and was always worried about her health.
On the way home, in the car.
Shen Cheng seemed to remember something, turned her head to look at the man who was attentively driving, and asked, "Is your brother’s real name Feng Jiu Mei?"
Shi Yu said it wasn’t, glanced at her, then returned his gaze forward without sidetracking.
"What are you asking for?"
His deep voice carried a hint of jealousy.
"Nothing much, just asking casually."
Shen Cheng turned her head to look out the car window, with an indifferent expression that really seemed like she was just asking casually.
After the car had driven a long distance and Shi Yu had been quiet for a while, he suddenly spoke up: "Shi Mei."
Shen Cheng was startled by his voice and turned to look at him.
"Shi Mei."
He repeated it.
"Hmm."
She responded, her voice even-toned and her calm face unchanged.
"Feng Jiu Mei is a name he used to conceal his identity, and the Charming Nine Sect is a formidable organization he founded. The subordinates within the organization not only hide the Sect Leader’s identity but also mislead others. That’s why I searched for him for nine years and yet could never pinpoint his whereabouts."
Hearing him say this made Shen Cheng slightly frown, "What about that time I was kidnapped? How did you find me? And how did you know Feng Jiu Mei and Shi Mei were the same person?"
The car slowed down gradually, and Shi Yu also slowed his speech, "Do you remember the time he had us make a choice?"
Make a choice?
Shen Cheng nodded, "I remember. He made us choose among countless glass bottles; some contained life, some death, and some a fate worse than death."
Shi Yu paused for a moment, then started to speak, "The handwriting on the notes inside the bottles, was his."
"So you recognized his handwriting and guessed his identity? Guessed the password for Charming Nine Sect?"
"Yeah."
"And you also knew back then that he wouldn’t kill me, right?"
Instead of answering her question, Shi Yu withdrew one hand from the steering wheel to hold her hand.
"Even if I didn’t know back then, I would have gone to rescue you without hesitation. If you truly died, I wouldn’t want to live either."
Word by word, he spoke resoundingly.
If you truly died, I wouldn’t want to live either.
These words, like a brand, were etched deeply onto Shen Cheng’s heart.
Even if one were to carve her heart into pieces with a sharp knife, they could not scrape away the vow he had made.
Shen Cheng gripped his hand back, looked at the surging stream of traffic ahead, and slowly curled her lips, "Knowing you wouldn’t bear to let me die alone, I am not afraid."
