Shen Zhichu loved him wholeheartedly for sixteen years, yet she was asked to leave empty-handed, just to make room for the "white moonlight" in his heart.
Li Jingshen thought he would...
Chapter 545 She is our relative
Li Jingshen has already accepted his fate. In Shen Zhichu's eyes, no matter what he does, he is evil at heart.
Since she has already determined that he is a bad person, he will not be able to change her mind no matter what he does.
Besides, only in this way... would Shen Zhichu stay with him for a short time.
He doesn't care whether the means are good or bad, as long as they work.
He is domineering, possessive, and... fanciful and daydreamy...
Li Jingshen tidied up the carpet, walked out of the bedroom with the bowl in his hand, went downstairs and put the empty bowl in the sink. He took a breath, and couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, his mind full of Shen Zhichu's hateful gaze.
He returned to the study, which was filled with many books and documents, all left by Shen Zhichu. There was a lot of dust on the bookshelf, with only one clean spot, where there was a photo album.
Li Jingshen skillfully took down the photo album and looked through it one by one. He had looked through it so many times that he even memorized the order in which he put the photos.
This photo album was the one he brought back from J City. It contained photos of Chen Zhichu at different ages, including their wedding photos.
After reading it from beginning to end, Li Jingshen opened the drawer under the desk and took out his cell phone. He had left it there for a week without charging it after it was turned off.
Li Jingshen found the charger and turned on the phone. Calls and text messages kept popping up on the screen. Li Jingshen turned on the Do Not Disturb mode, cleared the missed calls, and checked the text messages.
One of the messages appeared in front of him, it was sent by Bai's mother.
——Talk in person.
Li Jingshen looked at the four short words "people" with an unclear emotion. After a long time, he made a phone call and arranged a time.
The next morning, when Shen Zhichu was still sleeping in bed, footsteps were heard outside. The sound stayed at the door for a few seconds, and then there was the sound of the door opening.
Shen Zhichu was startled awake and turned his head, his eyes clear without a trace of sleepiness.
"I have to go out for something today, please stay at home."
Shen Zhichu asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will escape if you want to go out?"
"You came here voluntarily, why should I worry about you running away?" Besides, if Shen Zhichu really wanted to leave, he couldn't stop him.
At this critical moment, Shen Zhichu will not leave.
"where did you go?"
"I'm going out to buy something and will be back soon." Li Jingshen kept staring at Shen Zhichu while speaking, wanting to receive her response.
For a moment, Shen Zhichu wanted to go out with Li Jingshen. She had been here for a week and wanted to go out and see Bai Qiujing from afar.
But what's the point of seeing it? She has already signed the divorce agreement. Who knows, there may be no relationship between her and Bai Qiujing now.
She was afraid of facing Bai Qiujing's various looks. Even if she had no expression on her face, she didn't know how to respond.
Li Jingshen waited for a long time, but did not receive a response from Shen Zhichu. "I'm leaving now. I've made breakfast. Remember to come downstairs and eat. I don't want to force-feed you like I did yesterday."
This time, Shen Zhichu watched Li Jingshen leave. She didn't even look back until the door closed. She didn't come back to her senses until she heard the sound of an engine outside.
Li Jingshen drove out and went to a teahouse. He had made a reservation in advance last night. He went in and told the front desk directly, and a waiter would lead him to the private room.
Bai's mother arrived early and ordered tea and some pastries. It was obvious that she had not even had breakfast.
Seeing Li Jingshen, Bai's mother stood up. She was obviously the elder, but she seemed so embarrassed in front of the younger generation.
"Have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten." Li Jingshen replied coldly, then moved out of the chair and sat down, asking directly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Ever since Li Jingshen's parents died, she has been cold to everyone in the Li family. Bai's mother wanted to make it up to him and tried many ways, but Li Jingshen didn't appreciate it. He only went to her house for dinner because he had something to do.
Bai's mother looked at him now, and for a moment she didn't know how to call him.
If they call each other by name, they don't seem that close, and if they call him Mr. Li, they don't seem that distant either.
The sunlight outside gradually came out. Li Jingshen lowered his head and nodded his red robe. His voice and expression were very cold, making people afraid to approach him.
After the waiter brought the tea set and brewed tea, Bai's mother spoke. She picked up the folder beside her and opened it, revealing a stack of documents inside.
"This... take a look."
Li Jingshen took it, glanced at it, and looked at it with an unclear look: "What do you mean?"
What Bai's mother took out were all the shares of the Bai family's industries. As long as Li Jingshen signed, the Bai family would immediately change hands.
Bai's mother said slowly, "You suppressed the Bai family before, didn't you want us to choose between the family business and Zhichu? After discussing it with our family, we decided to use all the Bai family's assets to exchange for Zhichu. I know she disappeared for so long and it's with you. You are the only one who has the means to prevent us all from finding her."
Li Jingshen raised his narrow eyes slightly and stared at Bai's mother: "You are really willing to use the Bai family's decades of assets and 80 billion to exchange for an insignificant person?"
"She is not an insignificant person. Zhichu is our family. For our family, this money is nothing."
