Chapter 248 She Would Rather Be a Selfish Person
Although the Shen family had believed what Shen Xiaoxiao said about traveling through time, they still couldn't help asking, "You really didn't lie to us?"
"No, why would I lie to you?" Shen Xiaoxiao was helpless, but she also knew that they cared about her. "Even if I wanted to lie to you about this, I couldn't make up such a dramatic story." And this was true, so she didn't need to lie.
If it was really like what they worried about, she had an accident or was abducted, she was not the kind of person who didn't dare to face reality. On the contrary, she was a person who held grudges very much. Once she was given the opportunity, she would definitely turn the place upside down.
"Don't tell other people about this, just our family knows it." Shen Yingnan said seriously. Although this kind of thing was incredible, some people were eager for quick success and instant benefits, and it would be good for Xiaoxiao at that time.
"Well." Shen Xiaoxiao did not refute. She knew that there was no shortage of people interested in this aspect in this world. If other people knew about it, it might cause unnecessary trouble. She told her family because she knew that they were not harming her, and she also told them to reassure them.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I won't tell anyone anything." She had been away for so many years, and her old friends had long lost contact. She didn't bring her phone back, so it would be troublesome even if she wanted to contact them. It would be better to stay like this. She hasn't fully adapted yet. When she adapts, if she meets her old friends by chance, she will sit together. If she doesn't meet them, forget it. She doesn't plan to contact them.
After all, compared with them, her current image is completely older than them. If they take good care of themselves, she and them probably look like two generations apart.
And she has to think of an excuse to explain to them why she disappeared for so many years. Whether she says it or not is one thing, and whether they believe it or not is another.
Seeing her in this state, even if she says she is living a good life, they won't believe it, and they may even think that she is just being stubborn and just trying to save face in order not to be laughed at by them.
"Then will you travel through time again?" Shen Yingnan asked the question that everyone cares about. Since she can travel through time once, will there be a second time, or even a third time?
And she can still go back from there, which makes them think more.
"I don't know." Shen Xiaoxiao's voice is low, and it is hard to tell what she is thinking. She doesn't know if it will happen. After all, this matter has never been hers. She has no way to resist going back and forth, and she doesn't dare to guarantee whether she can go through.
The Shen family didn't say anything else, let her have a good rest, and they left.
"I think Xiaoxiao misses her children very much." Ruan Ruan frowned and said. From the vividness when she mentioned the two children, she could see that she missed her children very much. After all, children are always the most concerned by mothers. She can understand it. After all, she is also the mother of several children, and naturally understands this feeling.
But now the problem is that her children and husband are in another world, and they are tens of thousands of years away from them. How can they send her to see them? If they are in the same time and space, they must pick up people no matter how far away they are, but now it is not a question of far or not, but that both parties are not in the same time and space.
"We can't send her to see them." Shen Yingnan sighed. He really didn't expect such a fantastic thing to happen to his family. No wonder they have almost searched all over China for these years, but there is still no news. He never thought that she was not in this time and space at all, and he couldn't find her no matter how hard he tried.
If Xiaoxiao was to go to see them, Xiaoxiao would be destined to travel through time again. Not to mention whether they have the ability, he didn't want to. They had been separated for more than ten years and finally met. How could he be willing to let her leave?
And they didn't dare to guarantee that Xiaoxiao could come back like she is now after traveling through time. Even if she came back like this time, it would take more than ten years. How many more decades do they have?
If possible, he didn't want Xiaoxiao to leave at all. It's not like their family couldn't afford to support her. If she wanted, she could stay at home every day.
"Xiaoxiao travels back and forth like this, I think there will be another time." Ruan Ruan said softly. She didn't want Xiaoxiao to leave, but as Xiaoxiao said, she had no choice but to leave or come back. All she could do was accept it, but as a family member, she naturally didn't want her to go through that.
Shen Yingnan was silent for a long time before speaking, "No matter what, I hope she can live a good life. If I can't stop all this, all I can do is wish her well." After a pause, "If she is willing to stay at home all the time, I will always support her."
"Auntie Wang, Auntie Wang." Old Master Shen called Auntie Wang, who was in charge of cooking, over, "Cook more dishes that the young lady likes in the future."
"Yes." Auntie Wang quickly agreed. Auntie Wang had worked in the Shen family a long time ago. It can be said that she watched them grow up. She was worried for a long time when Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly disappeared before. She was also very happy that Shen Xiaoxiao came back this time. In fact, she would prepare two dishes that the young lady liked every day without the old man's instructions.
Every time she saw the young lady eating so happily, she was very happy. After so many years, the young lady's taste had not changed. She even enjoyed her meals more than before. She must have suffered outside. Thinking of this, Aunt Wang felt even more distressed. She cooked dishes that Shen Xiaoxiao liked to eat.
"I will go to Guoqing Temple to pay my respects tomorrow." Mrs. Shen said suddenly. In order to find Shen Xiaoxiao in the past ten years, she had knelt in all the temples. No matter how far or remote, as long as someone said that the place was efficacious, she would be there the next day. She will appear there, for no other reason than to seek her daughter's safe return.
It was also these ten years that transformed her from a firm materialist into a person who believed in gods and Buddhas.
It was after she went to Guoqing Temple to pay homage to Xiaoxiao that she appeared, so she wanted to believe that the Buddha had appeared, and she also believed that the Buddha had a way to solve this problem.
Although it was a bit selfish to do this, she was a mother and she didn't want to be separated from her child for more than ten years. She didn't know if she could bear the pain of separation, and no one could guarantee whether they would see each other again after this separation.
She just wanted her daughter to stay by her side. She knew she could not do that to the two children, but compared to her grandson whom she had not yet met, she only felt sorry for her daughter. As for the others... let her atone for her sins. Just don't take your daughter away from her.
Ruanruan's worry is not unreasonable. After all, no one can say for sure about this kind of thing. What if it happens? What if she really wears it again? What to do? Will it take more than ten years, or even a lifetime, to lose my daughter again?
If so, she would rather be a selfish person.
Others also knew that Mrs. Shen had appeared after she came back from Guoqing Temple. They selfishly wanted Shen Xiaoxiao to stay. Naturally, they also hoped that Mrs. Shen could find a solution at Guoqing Temple. They did not want to be worried all the time, or even Suddenly, the family disappeared again.
