Chapter 4: 4

Between adults, some things don’t need to be said too clearly. Although Shen Yansheng was slow, she was not a fool. On New Year’s Eve, when Lu Jingce said that she could ask him for help, but she had to exchange things with him, she understood what Lu Jingce meant.

Perhaps the reason why she did not agree at that time was because she still had expectations for Fu Shiyu. But when she was standing on the edge of a cliff today, the moment her fear came to an end, she suddenly understood that there was no one to rely on in this world.

At that moment, she suddenly figured out that there is no true love in this world. The so-called love is just the icing on the cake. When you are in trouble, everyone will leave you. Including your boyfriend who you thought would never leave you, but is the one who hides the fastest.

Since there is no true love in this world at all, then who is she with doesn’t matter. At least when she was most frightened and desperate, Lu Jingce would come to save her.

Even if he will get tired of her one day in the future, as long as she is not moved, she will not be hurt again.

Besides, only Lu Jingce was willing to help save her father.

She held Lu Jingce’s hand and refused to let go. She looked at Lu Jingce with sincere eyes and said, “Lu Jingce, I will be loyal to you.”

He stretched out his hand to gently touch the wound on Shen Yansheng’s forehead, and said slowly: “Shen Yansheng, I have spent so much time and effort, but I don’t want your loyalty.”

His meaning was unclear, Shen Yansheng guessed his words and looked at him sincerely, Said: “I will listen to you.”

Lu Jingce hooked his lips, took his fingers away from Shen Yansheng’s forehead, leaned his back into the chair, lowered his head slightly and closed his eyes, and said a little tiredly, “Sleep, tossing for a day, must be very tired”

That night, Shen Yansheng curled up in the quilt, facing out the window, and couldn’t fall asleep all night. It wasn’t until dawn, when she felt dizzy, that she gradually fell asleep.


When she woke up, it was almost noon, and Lu Jingce had already left. A middle-aged woman in her forties was standing beside the bed. Seeing her awake, she smiled and said, “Miss Shen, are you awake, are you hungry? I made the soup, let me serve it for you?”

Shen Yansheng looked at the other party with some doubts, “Who are you?”

The other party smiled and said, “I am the servant of the Lu family, and Mr. Lu was on a business trip early in the morning, so let me come over and take care of you.”

She said while opening the thermal insulation box beside the bed, “I just asked the doctor, you haven’t eaten much after the nutrient solution you have been on yesterday, so when you wake up today, you can eat something light to cushion your stomach. “

When she woke up, she was no longer so dizzy, she got out of bed with her body propped up, and went to the bathroom to wash up first.

She didn’t eat anything for a day, she really felt hungry, sat by the bed and simply ate something, then packed up and wanted to be discharged from the hospital.

Seeing that Shen Yansheng was about to be discharged, Zhang Ping was a little anxious for a while, and said, “Miss Shen, Mr. Lu explained that you should stay in the hospital for a few more days, observe it, and make sure there is no problem before you leave the hospital.”

Shen Yansheng said while packing her things, “It’s fine , I know my own body very well, and I’m all right.”

She couldn’t continue to stay in the hospital, and she didn’t go back all day yesterday, her mother must be very worried about her.

Zhang Ping was ordered to take care of Shen Yansheng, how dare she let her go, seeing that she insisted on leaving, she hurriedly went outside to call Lu Jingce.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Jingce just got off the plane and was sitting in the car about to head to the overseas branch. Hearing Zhang Ping’s words, he pressed his eyebrows with a headache and said, “Let her answer the phone.”

“Eh.” Zhang Ping responded. , hurriedly took the mobile phone back to the ward, handed it to Shen Yansheng, and said, “Miss Shen, President Lu wants to talk to you.”

Shen Yansheng couldn’t help but be stunned when she heard the words, and lowered her eyes to see Lu Jingce’s phone number displayed on the screen of the mobile phone. , She hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone and said softly, “Hello.”

Lu Jingce said, “Aunt Ping said you are going to be discharged from the hospital?”

Shen Yansheng took the mobile phone and walked to the window, ummed softly, and said, “I want to go back to the hospital to see my mother. She must be very worried because I didn’t go back all day yesterday.”

“Are you still feeling dizzy? Did doctor say you can be discharged from the hospital?”

Shen Yansheng pursed her lips unconsciously, and said softly, “I’m all right now. You saw it last night, I’m very clear, and it’s nothing serious.”

Lu Jingce rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, but he was too far apart. He didn’t care about Shen Yansheng, and said, “Ask the doctor to check you again. If the doctor confirms that there is no problem, then discharge from the hospital.”

Shen Yansheng didn’t want to contradict Lu Jingce, nodded and said, “Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yansheng obeyed . She asked the doctor to do a more careful examination for her, and when the report came out, she sent it to Lu Jingce, followed by a sentence, “Can I be discharged from the hospital?”

After a while, Lu Jingce sent a word, like gold, “En. “

Shen Yansheng put away the phone, picked up the bag and left the ward.

After leaving the hospital, Aunt Ping still followed her. Shen Yansheng was afraid that her mother would think too much when she saw, so she turned to Zhang Ping and said, “Aunt Ping, go back. I’m going to the hospital to see my mother now. It’s not convenient for you to follow me.”

“This…” Zhang Ping was a little embarrassed.

Shen Yansheng guessed that she was afraid that she would not be able to get along with Lu Jingce, and said, “Don’t worry, I’m all right now, Lu Jingce’s side, I’ll explain to him myself.”

Zhang Ping hesitated for a while, but in the end she nodded and didn’t insist on following. .

Shen Yansheng called a car at the entrance of the hospital. It was noon when she arrived at the Municipal People’s Hospital. When she walked to the door of the ward, she saw her mother standing beside the bed pouring water.

She hurriedly walked in, took the water bottle from her mother’s hand, and said anxiously, “I’m here, you go to bed quickly.”

Last night Shen Yansheng had already sent a text message to her mother, saying that she had something to do temporarily, and she would come back to the hospital this morning. .

Zhou Xiuyun originally thought that her daughter was delayed by some personal affairs, she was not too worried, but now she saw a piece of medical gauze on her daughter’s forehead, she immediately became nervous, turned her daughter’s body, and saw the medical gauze on her forehead and couldn’t help frowning tightly, “What’s the matter? What happened?”

How would Shen Yansheng dare to tell her mother that she was kidnapped yesterday, she helped her to sit on the bed, and said, “It’s okay, I was not careful, fell down and injured my forehead.”

Zhou Xiuyun didn’t have any doubts, but she was so distressed, she held her daughter’s face, “Why are you so careless? Are you seriously injured? How did you fall?”

Shen Yansheng said with a smile: ” When I got up to go to the toilet at night, I accidentally tripped over a stool. It wasn’t serious, it just broke a small hole, and it was all right after taking the medicine.”

Zhou Xiuyun felt distressed, frowning tightly, “Be careful, What should I do if your face is damaged?”

Shen Yansheng smiled and reassured her mother: “It’s not that serious, it’s just a small injury.”

She helped her mother to lie down on the bed, and asked with concern, “The doctor was here, right ? What did he tell about your health? How are the indicators? Does the wound from the operation still hurt?”

Zhou Xiuyun shook her head and said, “It doesn’t hurt much anymore, and the indicators have recovered well.”

Speaking of which, Zhou Xiuyun took her daughter’s hand , looked at her seriously, and said, “Sheng Sheng, can you help me get discharged from the hospital? My health has almost recovered, so I can go home and recover. I live in the hospital every day and spend your money. It’s a lot of psychological pressure.”

Shen Yansheng couldn’t help frown when she heard the words, and said, “What is your money, my money, isn’t my money also your and dad’s money? Don’t worry about money, I saved some money from work a few years ago. , and some savings. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body, and when the family matters are resolved, our family will be reunited.”

Mentioning this, Zhou Xiuyun eyes turning red again, she raised her hand to wipe her tears , choked up and said, “The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I don’t know if your father is doing well.”

She looked up and looked out the window, only to feel that in this winter, the sky in Beicheng was exceptionally gloomy.

Shen Yansheng also followed and looked out the window, the Beicheng in the cold winter, the sky was gray, and don’t know when it will be really clear.

The day Lu Jingce returned to China was already the end of January.

At that time, Shen Yansheng had already discharged her mother from the hospital, and the mother and daughter moved back to the textile factory on Minghua Road.

The house is too dilapidated, and because it is a bungalow, it is extremely damp. Shen Yansheng had some regrets on the first night she lived in. She shouldn’t have rented such a poor place to save money.

She doesn’t mind herself, but her mother just had an operation, and the house is wet and moldy. If she lives for a long time, it will be bad for her health. She blamed herself in her heart, but Zhou Xiuyun saw it very openly and said with a smile: “What’s the matter? At this point, it is already a blessing in misfortune to have a shelter from the wind and rain.”

Sitting for dinner, when they said this, they suddenly became silent, and the two thought of their father together. She and her mother can still sit here to eat now, but don’t know how her father is doing.

There are still a few days before the New Year, and the weather is getting colder and colder. She don’t know if her father’s winter clothes are enough. This new year must be the most difficult one in her life.

In the evening, Shen Yansheng took care of her mother and went to bed first. She sat in the living room and drew a design drawing. During this time, too many things happened at home. She had not worked for too long. When she picked up the brush, she only felt that every stroke that fell was too stiff and soulless.

In the early hours of the morning, the phone next to me suddenly vibrated. She put down her paintbrush, picked up her phone, and saw that it was a WeChat message from Lu Jingce.

She opened it and saw that there were only two words on WeChat, “Are you asleep?”

Shen Yansheng replied, “Not yet.”

After thinking for a while, she added another sentence, “How about you?”

Lu Jingce’s call come over. She picked it up quickly, lowered her voice, “Hello.”

Lu Jingce said, “Come out.”

Shen Yansheng couldn’t help but be stunned when she heard the words, a little unbelievable, “Now? Where are you going?”

Lu Jingce: “Just got off the plane, accompany me to have a meal.”

Shen Yansheng hesitated for a few seconds, but he still didn’t dare to refute. She went back to the room to change clothes, took the keys and mobile phone and went out quietly.

When she came out of the house, he could see Lu Jingce’s car parked at the entrance of the alley in the distance.

She walked over, pulled the door of co-pilot and got into the car.

It has been almost half a month since the last time she saw Lu Jingce, Shen Yansheng turned to Lu Jingce with a smile, and asked, “Did the business trip went well?”

The smile on her face meant too much to please, Lu Jingce didn’t like it very much, and his eyes fell on the wound on Shen Yansheng’s forehead.

Half a month later, the stitches on Shen Yansheng’s forehead have been removed, but it still looks a little red, and don’t know if it will leave a scar.

Seeing Lu Jingce staring at the wound on her forehead, she subconsciously raised her hand to touch it and said, “The doctor said that the marks will gradually fade in a few months.”

She worried that Lu Jingce would be too ugly, and added, “If you don’t I like it, I’ll go to the barber shop tomorrow to cut a bang to cover it.”

Lu Jingce glanced at Shen Yansheng when he heard the words, he couldn’t help frowning, and said, ” No.”

Shen Yansheng nodded obediently and said, “Okay.”

After Lu Jingce started the car, it was silent all the way. The car drove out of Minghua Road and headed in the direction of Yanghuai Road.

It was already early in the morning, and the area of Yanghuai Road was still very lively, with neon flashing.

Lu Jingce took Shen Yansheng to a private restaurant in an alley deep in Fandu.

Lu Jingce was obviously a frequent visitor here. As soon as he entered the door, the boss greeted him enthusiastically, “Mr. Lu, you are here.”

Lu Jingce said “um” and took Shen Yansheng to the private room.

The boss came in to pour tea in person, and Lu Jingce handed the menu to Shen Yansheng, “Let’s see what you like to eat.”

Shen Yansheng subconsciously said, “I ate last night.”

Lu Jingce didn’t force her to order, he put down the menu, raised his head and said to the boss, “As usual”.

After the boss left, Shen Yansheng looked at the restaurant’s environment and said, “I used to come here often to eat, but I didn’t expect such a restaurant to be hidden deep in this alley.”

“Yes, you can try it later.”

Shen Yansheng nodded, pursed her lips and smiled at Lu Jingce.

She sat under the light, and the wound on her forehead was more obvious because of her pale skin. Lu Jingce stared at her for a while, then suddenly said, “Come here.”

Shen Yansheng was stunned for a moment, and asked, “What?”

Lu Jingce looked at her and said, “You are so far away from me, are you afraid that I will eat you?”

Shen Yansheng’s ears were inexplicably warm, she stood up and sat beside Lu Jingce.

As they got closer, Lu Jingce raised his hand and pinched Shen Yansheng’s chin. Shen Yansheng suddenly became nervous, her whole body was stiff, and her body even trembled.

But Lu Jingce didn’t actually plan to do anything. He just wanted to see the wound on Shen Yansheng’s forehead clearly. Seeing Shen Yansheng’s nervousness, he didn’t know whether to feel funny or angry, so he deliberately teased her, “Is it so scary? It’s not that I can do anything I want to you?”

Shen Yansheng bit her lip unconsciously, she opened her eyes and couldn’t help but ask, “My father’s business…”

Lu Jingce didn’t like Shen Yansheng’s always making deals with him about her father’s business, and he was suddenly disappointed. , let go of Shen Yansheng, and said lightly: “Since I promised you, I will do it. But this is not a trivial matter, nor can it be solved in a day or two.”

Shen Yansheng suddenly felt a little lost, she lowered her eyes and said softly: ” It will be New Year’s Eve in a few days.”

Lu Jingce glanced at her, his brows darkened, but he didn’t know what he was thinking at that moment.

After dinner, Lu Jingce sent Shen Yansheng home.

At the entrance of the alley, Shen Yansheng unfastened her seat belt and was about to get off the car when Lu Jingce suddenly said, “I will have someone come to help you move in a few days”.

Lu Jingce glanced at the dark alley outside the car window, then looked at Shen Yansheng again, and said, “Do you really plan to live in this kind of place forever? You just want to live, I don’t want to come to this broken place second time”.

Shen Yansheng pursed her lower lip unconsciously when she heard the words. She could hear Lu Jingce’s overtones. With his identity, it would be a lot of face for him to come to her once, so how could she expect him to come to this kind of place to look for her every time.

Knowing her current situation, she was not qualified to negotiate terms with Lu Jingce. She nodded and said, “Okay.”

Then she added, “Then I’ll go back first.”

Lu Jingce gave a light “um”, but did not get out of the car to send her off.

But he didn’t drive the car away immediately. After Shen Yansheng got out of the car, he took out a cigarette from the armrest box, sat in the car and smoked half a cigarette, and only extinguished it when he saw Shen Yansheng entering the house safely. Restarted the car, turned around and drove away from Minghua Road.
