Chapter 743: Reunion
Rong Qingqing nodded in agreement, "Thinking about it this way, your fears are indeed justified, because strictly speaking, this catastrophe also stems from one of your family members."Rong Qingqing pushed away Shen Jue’s hand from her knee, pulled up a chair, and sat back beside the two of them.
"When the accident happened, you pushed him out of the car. Fortunately, he survived but lost the use of his legs and became disabled, relying on a wheelchair for mobility. You went into the water with the car; the local police gathered forces to search underwater, but they never found you. It was the rainy season, the river current was swift, and everyone searched for a long time but couldn’t find you or even the car."
In that car accident, Shen Jue narrowly escaped death.
After waking up, he had to face the cruel reality of losing the ability to walk and becoming disabled, as well as the blow of his father’s disappearance. It was a massive shock for Shen Jue.
So later, Shen Qiao told Rong Qingqing that Shen Jue was terribly gloomy when he first came out of the hospital, emanating an air of despair and unpredictability, with eyes looking dark and foreboding.
And he didn’t like to speak or leave his room.
During those times, even Shen Qiao, his younger sister, was very afraid of Shen Jue.
"The one who orchestrated that car accident was your half-brother, and it was indeed for the sake of the company. Last year, Shen Jue uncovered the entire truth and has already sent your brother to prison," Rong Qingqing smiled, "It’s quite surprising to see you here; now you can come home with us."
Perhaps mentioning Shen Jue’s name triggered some memory in Father Shen.
Father Shen abruptly looked up at Shen Jue, "Did I call you Ah Jue?"
It was only at this point that Shen Jue responded with a hum.
Rong Qingqing looked at Shen Jue, who seemed slightly awkward, and felt a slight heartache for him.
At that time, Shen Jue and Father Shen were in the accident together. At the critical moment, Father Shen pushed Shen Jue out of the car, unhesitatingly handing the chance of survival to Shen Jue.
Over the years, Shen Jue might even harbor guilt because of it.
Today, suddenly encountering the father he believed had perished, Shen Jue’s emotions must be tumultuous right now.
He was always someone who would suppress and restrain himself, so he showed no visible signs and remained expressionless.
"Maybe it’s fate, guiding Shen Jue and me to come and bring you home, Dad," Rong Qingqing said with a smile.
Then, unable to contain her excitement, she rubbed her hands together and grinned, "Why don’t we take a photo with the lucky big clod and send it to Mom and Qiaoqiao and them?"
The father and son were both quite sullen, and Rong Qingqing had to pull them out the door, one in each hand.
The signal in the small fishing village was unstable, so after Rong Qingqing took the photo, she transferred it from the camera to her phone and immediately sent it to the family group chat.
Rong Qingqing: Shen Jue and I found Dad! We’ll bring him home soon. [Photo]
Due to the poor signal, sending the message and photo was slow. Rong Qingqing didn’t know when they would successfully be sent, so she didn’t wait. After sending the photo, she put her phone away, dragging Shen Jue along, and had Father Shen guide them around the village to say goodbye to the people there.
As a missing person, Father Shen had to complete numerous formalities to return home, so Shen Jue and Rong Qingqing couldn’t leave the fishing village right away.
Because of the bad signal, Rong Qingqing was quite carefree about it all, sending the message, then leaving her phone alone, worrying about nothing.
