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 73 Shen Zhichu is not a dead thing
After Xia Mingyue moved back into the villa, Shen Zhichu started applying for jobs. Strangely, she applied to more than a dozen companies online but not a single company sent her a message.
She couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with the system. Shen Zhichu got up early, made breakfast, and changed into formal clothes.
Li Jingshen went downstairs for breakfast and saw her dressed up, so he asked, "Are you going out?"
Shen Zhichu lowered his head to drink his porridge and replied, "Go out for an interview."
After a few days of silence, Li Jingshen almost forgot about Shen Zhichu's plan to go out for work. However, didn't he let Zhao Qian take care of it? Why would someone ask Shen Zhichu to go for an interview?
Shen Zhichu glanced at the time, quickly finished her porridge and went out. After Li Jingshen saw her off, he called Zhao Qian and asked him to keep an eye on Shen Zhichu and not let her find a job.
Zhao Qian was puzzled by Li Jingshen's behavior, and as a bystander he was also disgusted by such behavior.
Shen Zhichu is a 24-year-old adult. If she is locked up at home and not allowed to go out, it will destroy her ability to function as a member of society in the long run.
Li Jingshen wanted Shen Zhichu to be a housewife, but it also depended on whether she was willing.
Shen Zhichu took over the Shen family at the age of eighteen. She presented herself as a female elite to the outside world. Such a person would never be willing to be a canary trapped in a cage.
Li Jingshen also understood this truth, but looking at Shen Zhichu's beautiful face, thin body, and losing the Shen family, what could she do if she went out?
He felt angry just imagining Shen Zhichu working outside. He would not allow and could not tolerate Shen Zhichu contacting other men outside and peeping at others unscrupulously.
At this time, Li Jingshen had begun to realize that Shen Zhichu treated him differently, just like buying a painting. At first, he just bought it for decoration and appreciation, but later he accidentally discovered that the painting was an antique, so he wanted to hide it for fear that it would be stolen.
He was so overbearing, but he forgot that Shen Zhichu was a person, not a dead object, nor a painting for him to admire.
Shen Zhichu went out to look for a job. Whenever she saw a suitable company recruiting, she would fill out her resume and go in. However, every time before it was her turn, the other party would say it was over.
It was acceptable once or twice, but if she kept hitting a wall, even the dumbest woman would notice something was wrong.
Not finding a job has actually ruined my health. I've been out in the sun looking for a job for half a month. I feel weak from the sun and feel nauseous and want to vomit.
Shen Zhichu initially judged that she had heatstroke. In addition, she herself suffered from stomach cancer, so it was normal for her to feel nauseous and vomit. Shen Zhichu did not take it to heart.
I thought I would feel better after going back to rest, but I didn't expect that the smell of cooking fumes made me want to vomit even more as soon as I entered the kitchen to cook.
She really couldn't muster the energy to cook so she handed it over to Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang didn't say anything but her face showed dissatisfaction.
Xia Mingyue and Aunt Wang finally prepared dinner together, which included steamed fish and braised pork, plus a vegetarian dish and chicken soup.
Li Jingshen came back from get off work and looked around but didn't see Shen Zhichu. His eyes couldn't help but become deep: "Where is she?"
Xia Mingyue went over and hooked her hand with his, saying affectionately, "Chen Zhichu might not be feeling well today, so I'll make dinner."
Li Jingshen glanced at the food on the table. It was delicious, but he just couldn't muster up an appetite.
Xia Mingyue didn't notice Li Jingshen's inner thoughts at all, and kept stuffing chopsticks into Li Jingshen's hands: "Jingshen, you haven't eaten my cooking for a long time. Try it and see if my cooking skills have improved."
Li Jingshen looked at the dishes on the table and didn't know which dish to pick up. He tightened his fingers and finally put them down: "You eat first, I'll go upstairs to see her."
The smile on Xia Mingyue's face was a little forced. She pursed her lips, but before she could say anything, Li Jingshen got up in a hurry and went upstairs.
