Miss, you are my future wife

Chapter 238 Xiao Shenyao's Redemption
*This chapter is also called "Trapped on the Other Side of Freedom"

"The two of us, are we... not together anymore?" Xiao Yao probed further.

"Why did you come up with such an idea?" Shen Jie's face was a little red, of course not from shyness, but from anger.

A little bit of a taste of shame and anger?Xiao Yao thought.

He didn't speak, just looked at Shen Jie meaningfully, just like that.

The young man wanted to tell Shen Jie about the photo album of his daughter that he had accidentally seen, the composition paper inside, and all the clues of getting along with each other in the past few months, and...

In the end, he chose silent deterrence and said nothing.

The long-term absence of myself in the future no longer needs further proof. Since it is not a death, then why...

Xiao Yao is determined that today he must get a reasonable explanation.

"Do you think that since you are married to a wealthy family, I won't have much affection for you, and this marriage is just a matter of each getting what he needs, sharing the same bed and different dreams?" Shen Jie said quietly.

Xiao Yao shook his head lightly.

Indeed, earlier, he had such worries, even when he first saw Shen Jie's condescending and aggressive look, he was even more convinced of this conjecture.

However, all of this disappeared with Shen Jie's pounce just now.

"Then, do you think you have changed your mind?" Shen Jie seemed to be able to see through Xiao Yao's thoughts.

Xiao Yao still shook his head, denying this conjecture: "That's not right, according to common sense, if the future me is really the kind of heartless person who abandons his wife and daughter, Changsheng shouldn't be so close to me, and you see After me, even if they still pounce on me, they will probably slap me a few times."

"My husband has been so smart since he was a child." Shen Jie praised him with a sincere expression, but she was holding back a giggle.

"There is another possibility," Holmes continued to deduce, "I am a good father and husband, but you made some principled mistakes that I am sorry for, so I chose to leave. In this way, you and Changsheng are still possible for me. There will be feelings, and there is no position to blame me...?"

Shen Jie was a little startled, and after a few seconds, she began to laugh loudly, pounding her stomach on the table.

"You... you... imagine yourself a green hat... is this... so fun?"

"Well, is it okay?" Xiao Yao said with some embarrassment: "But your hilarious problem has not changed for 30 years."

"No...no..." Shen Jie said, "It's been a long time since... I've been so happy."

Xiao Yao helplessly waited for her to laugh enough, and there was a little pampering in her narrowed eyes.

Considering the huge reverse age difference between the two people, this picture looks a little weird.

When the laughter finally stopped, Xiao Yao reached out and pressed the back of Shen Jie's hand: "Let's do it."

Shen Jie raised her head and looked at the pure eyes of the young man: "You must know?"

"I must know today." Xiao Yao nodded, expressing his determination in words.

Shen Jie lowered her head and thought for a while, as if she was planning something.

"My husband, Tian Yun's father, Shen's son-in-law, Xiao Yao, you are still in jail." The woman's eyes were fixed on the table.

Xiao Yao was taken aback suddenly.

The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive and serious.

...But when you think about it carefully, this answer is really fucking reasonable.

And I had guessed and guessed a lot before, but I never thought about this possibility, and I really entered the blind spot of thinking.

"What crime did I commit?" After a long silence, Xiao Yao finally remembered what he should ask.

"Xiao Yao is not wrong, Xiao Yao is not guilty!" Shen Jie suddenly became agitated again: "The biggest crime in Xiao Yao's life is to enter the Shen family for me..."

Xiao Yao was quite depressed at first, but when he saw her like this, he quickly comforted her.

After Shen Jie calmed down, she whispered, "You took the blame for my father."

"What—" Xiao Yao opened his mouth wide: "That damned guy! Me, for him?"

"I," Shen Jie said sadly, "I've been persuading you for a long time, but you insisted on doing this and leaving our mother and daughter behind—you're right, when we meet, I should give you a hard time. Say more."

"No, wait a minute," Xiao Yao tried to organize his thoughts: "That guy—your father, what did he do?"

"People who have achieved that level of business have completely clean hands, do you believe it?" Shen Jie chuckled with some disdain: "It's just to see when the opponent catches the handle..."

"...That makes sense." Xiao Yao said, "But why the hell would I do such a thing?"

"Because the Miwei Group couldn't live without a father at that time," Shen Jie said sadly, "I don't have that ability, and you don't have that prestige, and that dude Daoming can't even count on him. No one in my Shen family has enough money." The ability to pick up this burden - if Dad falls, the group will fall to the board of directors..."

"Which one is Daoming?" Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie.

"My brother, your brother-in-law." Shen Jie replied strangely: "Ah, I forgot, he wasn't born in 04, no wonder you didn't know—he was from 05, yes, in 05."

"You are a person in 87, and you have a younger brother in 05?" Xiao Yao confirmed cautiously.

Shen Jie shrugged: "This is not something I can choose, right?"

It seemed that she really didn't like this brother very much.

Xiao Yao originally wanted to say some witty words like "four pests in the water area" to brighten up the atmosphere, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say: "So, how long is my sentence left?"

"It's hard to say, the result of the plea bargain at that time was that you pleaded guilty in exchange for 40 years in prison." Shen Jie told Xiao Yao: "Now we can only operate such things as commutation of sentence, bail, and medical parole."

"The co-author isn't in Huaxia?" Xiao Yao was shocked: "I remember that our country has been here for at most 20 years, and there will be no time to come again."

"Well, in Mississippi, you may have to be deported after you get out of prison, and you may have to squat again when you come back..."

Xiao Yao's eyes darkened, and he lost hope for his future life.

"Don't be nervous, we've been trying to find a way to operate," Shen Jie told Xiao Yao: "Where do you think I've been these past few months? I've been staying in Midi, and besides doing business with Americans, I can also To find time to visit you, and to run your medical parole..."

"How many people did your father kill..."

"In short, our whole family hasn't given up on you, you know?" Shen Jie didn't answer Xiao Yao's murmur directly, but just squeezed the back of his hand: "Our whole family is waiting for you to come back."

"Is it too late for me to break up with the 17-year-old you?" Xiao Yao half-jokingly asked.

Shen Jie didn't speak, but just shook Xiao Yao's hand.

Seeing that Xiao Yao was still looking sullen, he said, "There should be time!"

"Oh," Xiao Yao sighed, "is this my life?"

"Okay, don't be depressed," Shen Jie said: "Now you know why Yunyun and I are unwilling to tell you. It's you who insist on knowing, so what can you do if you know? It just increases troubles."

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Actually, it's better than I expected. I really thought I was dead, and even more serious, I broke up with you."

"Ah?" Shen Jie said: "Being separated from me, is it more serious than dying?"

"Yes." The young man hesitated for a moment, and gave an affirmative answer: "For me, it is like this."

Shen Jie was a little moved.

It has been a long time since she heard such a sincere confession from anyone.

Even if someone would say such a thing to her, she would just laugh it off, ignore it and take it seriously.

However, Shen Jie could tell from her years of experience in the workplace and the skill of seeing people that young people were serious.

"I..." Shen Jie said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Now that we have the ability to travel through time, maybe we can change all of this?" Shen Jie asked tentatively.

"I don't know, I don't know." Xiao Yao said it twice.

……

There was another long silence, and then the two rushed to speak at the same time.

Shen Jie immediately shut her mouth and signaled Xiao Yao to speak first.

"No, I just want to change the subject." Xiao Yao said.

"You can ask anything you want." Shen Jie replied gently.

"As far as I know," Xiao Yao said while recalling, "Shen Jie and you have talked on the phone several times, and the things that Tian Yun and I met, and the things about the space-time channel, have always communicated and reported with you, including—— "

"I know what you want to ask," Shen Jie told Xiao Yao, "Actually, before I came back to see you and saw Tian Yun call your father one by one, I always regarded this whole thing as a... well, say Prank maybe inaccurate, um, a game to play with my daughter, so to speak?"

"You...game...?" Xiao Yao moved his nostrils in confusion.

"Think about it, if you are so busy in the United States, and suddenly your daughter calls you from thousands of miles away, saying that the mirror at home has become a space-time channel, what will be your first reaction?" Shen Jie reminded.

"I... I understand." Xiao Yao said: "If it were my parents, they would definitely not believe such words--such a simple thing, I can't think of it, and adults are the same. I thought you would believe it, even Shen Jie..."

"I have never talked to you, but the things that Shen Jie talked to me on the phone are all information that may be obtained from Tian Yun or other sources," Shen Jie explained: "The reverse is also true. Similarly, what Tianyun and I said about you, I think you can also find out..."

"In that case," Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie, "Why didn't you tell her to stop her delusions, or stop playing pranks on you?"
