Chapter 404 I have a lot of candy that can always sweeten your heart

Various questions popped up in Lu Tingchuan's mind, like fragile soap bubbles rising to his brain, with various memory images reflected on them, instantly filling his entire brain.

Why is Li Jingshen suddenly interested in a substitute?

Why are she and Bai Qiujing together and have a close relationship?

Why was she holding the cat that Shen Zhichu used to hold?

Why can a person change so much in such a short time, as if he has become a completely different person?

Why did she say that the "Shen Qing" in the past was dead and she is now Shen Zhichu.

As the various problems are slowly analyzed, there is only one explanation.

This "Chen Zhichu" is the Chen Zhichu who was burned to death three years ago.

This absurd idea made Lu Tingchuan break out in a cold sweat on his back, and he felt a creepy feeling when the wind blew.

Lu Tingchuan couldn't find any other explanation except "resurrection from the dead".

What's more, Shen Zhichu made it clear to him from the beginning that she was no longer Shen Qing.

Lu Tingchuan couldn't describe how he felt right now. He felt a little empty and a little bloated.

What he had always wanted was Shen Zhichu, who was burned to death in the fire. She was not as cowardly, delicate, and crybaby as Shen Qing. Shen Zhichu lived with confidence, flamboyance, and pride. Only such a person could arouse his desire to conquer her.

Shen Zhichu and Shen Qing, the figures of these two people collided and merged in his mind. For the first time, he fell into confusion and didn't know what he wanted for a moment. It felt like a cat had crawled into his chest, scratching his heart and liver.

He covered his left chest which was beating violently. Shen Zhichu was back, but where was Shen Qing?

Is she never going to come back? Is there no one left to do his laundry and cook for him, no one to give him a massage when he has a headache, no one to tell him a joke when he's upset, no one to keep his eyes fixed on him? Is that right?

The hand covering the left chest involuntarily stretched up to cover the cheek, and warmth came from the palm of the hand.

Lu Tingchuan tilted his head back and rested it on the back of the chair.

Even he himself didn't know why he was crying. The sudden sadness always surged violently, almost breaking down the walls he had been pretending to erect.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet. When the space people are in is too quiet, they can't help but think more. As they think, they seem to think things through.

He had always treated "Shen Qing" as a substitute, but in the end he was the one being played. It was clearly him who threw her out, but he had been thinking about her for more than three hundred days.

In fact... he never wanted Shen Qing to leave him.

He might have been somewhat interested in Shen Zhichu at the beginning, and trained Shen Qing, who looked 50% to 60% like her, as a substitute. One reason was to satisfy his own selfish desires and curiosity, and the other was to use it to stimulate Li Jingshen.

To Shen Qing, he has always used the word "use"

When he gave Shen Qing to Li Jingshen, it was not because he was tired of playing with her. On the contrary, he became more and more concerned about this substitute. He was afraid that he would be the one who fell the deepest.

He grew up with Grandpa Li, and the sentence the grandpa often taught him was that emotions can become weaknesses.

Only when a person is ruthless can he become strong, and a woman will only become a stumbling block in his life.

Although he looked down on Mr. Li, he had to admit that what he said made sense. Didn't Shen Zhichu become a stumbling block for Li Jingshen in the past?

He had seen Li Jingshen in so much pain that he vomited blood. He had seemed bright and energetic for three years, but in fact his soul was broken. He had secretly sworn to himself that he would never follow Li Jingshen's path and become a person like him.

So after he realized his habit towards Shen Qing, he gave up this "habit" without hesitation and discarded it like a piece of trash. It took him a long time to slowly forget that strange feeling.

But after seeing Shen Qing's face, all his efforts were in vain.

He couldn't stand Li Jingshen approaching her, nor did he like her being held hands by other people.

When he decided not to treat her as a substitute and keep her by his side, just like in the past.

God suddenly played a huge joke on him and told him that the person he once discarded had a new soul and she could never come back.

Lu Tingchuan thought he had a good memory. He could remember who lent him a dollar when he was a child, but why did he only remember what Shen Qing said when he left now?

——Lu Tingchuan, I will never come back once I leave.

It turns out that once you give something away, you really can’t get it back.

Lu Tingchuan really didn't believe in superstition. How could a dead person be resurrected in someone else's body? He would rather believe that the little village girl was just sick, suffering from a serious mental illness that caused a split personality.

…….

Shen Zhichu sneezed several times in the morning. Her eyes, which had not rested all night, became even redder due to the stimulation. Tears stained the corners of her eyes, and she rubbed her swollen and painful eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a cup of steaming warm water in front of me.

"You definitely won't rest even if I tell you to." Bai Qiujing placed the cold medicine next to the water glass. "Take it to prevent a serious cold."

"I don't have a cold." Shen Zhichu's voice was still hoarse when he said this.

"You were sneezing a lot and you said you didn't have a cold. This medicine won't hurt you. It's autumn now and it's easy to get the flu, so it's good to take some precautions."

Chen Zhichu couldn't persuade him, so he held the cup of water with both hands and tested the water temperature, which was just right. Chen Zhichu was afraid of bitterness and didn't like taking medicine. If he could get over a minor cold with his resistance, he would try his best to get over it. He would only take medicine when it was so serious that it affected his sleep.

Shen Zhichu is not a pretentious person. Everyone has weaknesses. She is afraid of suffering and pain, but she is very patient.

Those who were afraid of suffering took anti-cancer drugs for three years, while those who were afraid of pain chose to burn to death in the fire.

For Shen Zhichu, those two hours in the fire were far less valuable than the seven years she spent with Li Jingshen.

No matter how patient a person is, one day he will be unable to bear the pain anymore.

But the taste of bitterness can be really accustomed to after eating enough. The small white pill was not bitter at all, and Shen Zhichu swallowed it with a sip of water.

Just as she swallowed it, she saw a hand stretched out in front of her. She put down the cup and looked at the candy in Bai Qiujing's hand.

"If you take a piece of candy after taking medicine, it won't taste bitter."

Shen Zhichu took the candy from her hand. It was orange-flavored soft candy, sour and sweet. Her mouth was not bitter to begin with, and now her mouth was full of sweetness as she chewed the candy. She unconsciously looked at Bai Qiujing's two faintly visible canine teeth, and remembered the candied haws that were handed to her when she was a child.

——"Little crybaby, stop crying after you finish eating the candied haws. Big brother will carry you home."

Shen Zhichu couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips: "Very sweet, thank you Qiu Jing."

"It's good to be sweet. I have some candy here." Bai Qiujing turned sideways and lifted up his shirt pocket to let Shen Zhichu see it, which was filled with colorful fruit candies.

"You still want it?"

Shen Zhichu shook his head: "No, I can't quit eating sugar if I eat too much."

"Why do you want to quit?" Bai Qiujing didn't understand what he meant. He took out another candy and put it in Shen Zhichu's hand. This time, it happened to be a hawthorn flavored candy. "It's so happy to like something."

Yes, being liked is such a happy thing.

Shen Zhichu held the candy in his hand, but instead of tearing it open and eating it, he placed it on the table where she could see it at any time.

…….

Mr. Liu of x Entertainment was still waiting for Shen Zhichu's response. No matter how strong his arms were, he couldn't twist her thighs. If Shen Zhichu was obedient and did what he said, he would be merciful and not care. If she dared to disobey and neglect him, hmph...

Mr. Liu snorted twice, not taking Shen Zhichu seriously at all.

Thinking carefully, Shen Zhichu was very good-looking. Mr. Liu stroked his chin and wondered whether he should teach Shen Zhichu a lesson, such as getting him drunk and sending him to his bed.

Her figure must be particularly charming in bed, and her face is obviously used to seduce men.

The reason why Mr. Liu has not touched Shen Zhichu is largely because of Shen Zhichu's previous financial backer - Lu Tingchuan.

These power-oriented men all have one characteristic, which is a strong desire for control. Even if something they don't want is thrown away as trash, it is not someone else's turn to take it away.

Therefore, Mr. Liu has been envious over the years, with thousands of ideas in his mind, but at most he just thought about it and didn't dare to act.

But recently he found that Chen Zhichu was getting more and more handsome, and her looks were far better than Xia Yanyue's, which made him feel itchy.

Lu Tingchuan has ignored Shen Zhichu for so long, obviously he looks down on her, and that Bai Qiujing is probably just playing with her.

Mr. Liu lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth while YY, with his eyes closed, as if Shen Zhichu was already lying on his bed, until there was an impatient knock on the door.

Mr. Liu shuddered, came to his senses, and looked very unhappy.

"Come in."

The office door opened, and the public relations manager, vice president, agent, heads of other departments, secretaries, assistants... At a glance, a large group of people were standing at the door.

"Mr. Liu, something happened."

"What happened? What are you doing here instead of going to work?"

The vice president held shares in the company. Although not as many as Mr. Liu, he still had a lot of power. At this moment, his face was gloomy and heavy: "Go online and check the trending searches yourself!"

Mr. Liu felt uneasy. Usually, if there was anything, he would call him or have his secretary tell him. This situation had never happened before.

Everyone in the room looked unhappy. Mr. Liu took out his cell phone, which he had accidentally set to silent mode. When he unlocked it, the screen was full of messages and missed calls.

At this moment, he had no time to care who called him, he clicked on Weibo.

He muttered, "What could it be? Isn't it just the Shen Zhichu incident? Was it her own fault that she posted the cat abuse incident online? It has nothing to do with anyone else?"

At this time he was still deceiving himself until he clicked in and saw the number of times he was mentioned. It could no longer be displayed with clear data, and there were only red dots in a row.

Mr. Liu clicked on a random post out of fear, and it turned out to be a Weibo post by Shen Zhichu.

A total of three new Weibo posts were posted.

The first one is a video recording.

Secondly, they collected evidence of various crimes committed by X Entertainment Company. Any one of these crimes could send the company's CEO to jail for several years.

Article 3, attached termination agreement.

Mr. Liu looked over and only read the evidence pointing out x Entertainment's crimes. The content was too long to read in one go, but the regulations were clear and the evidence of the crime was conclusive.

Mr. Liu glanced at the sending time, twenty minutes ago.

"Does PR eat shit? Why didn't you immediately reduce the popularity of the trending searches?"

The PR manager lowered his head and let him scold him. After Mr. Liu finished scolding him, he said, "It can't be lowered."

"What's so hard to get down? Give me the money!"

"Mr. Liu, we're out of money."

"Who the hell are you trying to fool? How can such a big company be out of money?"

The Vice President said, "Not only is there no money, but the company is now in debt. The stock price has been falling this morning. As early as a month ago, someone maliciously acquired the shares and drove up the price just to short sell them today. Now, because of Xia Yanyue, the company's stock price has continued to fall. The losses have reached hundreds of millions, and it can't be saved."

The phone fell to the ground with a thud.

"Who is behind this hostile takeover? Why did we only find out now?"

"A.W Group, a new company, a group I've never heard of."

Mr. Liu's face turned pale. When did Shen Zhichu get involved with such a person? And how did her termination contract come about?

There are many doubts that cannot be explained, but one thing that is certain is that all of this was done by Shen Zhichu. She started to set up this chess game a long time ago.

"Mr. Liu, what should we do now?"

What else can they do? What awaits them now is that the company will go bankrupt and be acquired by [A. W]. In addition, they will face jail time. It is not possible to find anyone to take the blame for this.
