Chapter Fourteen: Zhuzhu's Delicate Fragility
As the knife drew near, Lü Jiahao disregarded everything else. He knew Shen Yuzhu was truly going to attack him; her eyes were like those of someone looking at a dead man. Shen Yuzhu was truly terrifying that night.
She truly deserves to be called her own daughter.
From the moment she started the job transfer, she was plotting how to break up this family and how to avenge her mother. Everyone was part of her scheme.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that this girl was a bit strange. His eyes darted around, and he immediately hunched over and bowed to Shen Yuzhu, begging for mercy.
"Yu, Yuzhu, Daddy knows he was wrong, Daddy really knows he was wrong. Please forgive Daddy, please forgive me. I'll give you money. Aren't you going to the countryside soon? I'll give you all my money, okay?"
"I have several boxes of large yellow croakers in a hidden compartment in my study. Really, go and see. There's a raised switch under the desk. Just press it and you'll see."
"We are father and daughter after all. I feel guilty towards your mother and your grandparents. I did love your mother back then, really. She was so good, how could I not love her? Yuzhu, please let your father go, please, please!"
"You lowlife, you don't deserve to love my mother, Lü Jiahao! You're a beast who won't give up until you get what you want! I don't have a father like you. My surname is Chen!"
Shen Yuzhu had been acting mad all night and was now completely exhausted.
Those who hurt others hurt themselves. Shen Yuzhu was heartbroken. She couldn't imagine how painful her mother's death must have been. It was only in this life and the next that she truly learned the cause of her mother's death.
Holding the jade bracelet on her wrist, it took her a long time to calm down.
The screams from the Shen family had already woken up the neighbors in the nearby compound. Zhou Congsheng, who was wandering around the compound, naturally heard them as well. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he thought he also heard Shen Yuzhu's voice.
Suddenly, all the lights in the Shen family's house were turned on, and the screams became clearer. Zhou Congsheng rushed to the Shen family's house, shook the door a few times, but couldn't push it open, so he jumped over the wall and went inside.
When I got to the second floor, my heart was in my throat.
Shen Yuxia was holding a knife and was desperately stabbing Shen Yuzhu in the neck.
He immediately pounced on Shen Yuzhu's side, kicked the knife out of Shen Yuxia's hand, knocked Lü Jiahao unconscious with a punch, and then slapped Zhong Fu and Shen Yuxia to the ground with two slaps.
Seeing Shen Yuzhu with her disheveled hair and a disheveled appearance, I felt extremely sorry for her.
“From, from birth, they must run.”
Shen Yuzhu fainted as soon as she finished speaking.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already noon the next day. She had an IV drip in her arm. Zhou Congsheng was sitting by her bedside. When he saw her wake up, he hurriedly stood up.
"Sister Yuzhu, are you alright? How are you feeling? Doctor, doctor, she's awake! She's awake!"
Zhou Congsheng had a light stubble on his chin and his hair was a bit messy. He stared at her intently, as if afraid she would suddenly disappear.
Shen Yuzhu blinked, shook her head wearily, paused, and then tried to sit up. Zhou Congsheng quickly helped her put a pillow behind her back.
"I'm fine, just a little thirsty. What about Lü Jiahao and the others...?"
"They've been taken into custody. Right now, the most important thing for you isn't to think about them, but to take care of yourself. Oh, and here's a thermos containing Mom's food, as well as some food that Aunt Hou and the others sent. If you're hungry, I can get you some."
"Okay, sure."
Seeing Shen Yuzhu's pale face, Zhou Congsheng felt extremely uncomfortable.
The doctor arrived quickly, asked some questions, and then examined her body.
There's nothing seriously wrong, just a few whip marks on my body. They're not too severe, but I still need to apply medicine.
Shen Yuzhu thanked him, and when she turned her head, she saw Zhou Congsheng's worried face.
"What's wrong?"
"Given your current condition, how about I talk to the educated youth office and let you go to the countryside once you've fully recovered?"
"No, oh, I'm fine. I'll leave tomorrow. You've only just been promoted to regimental commander and it's your vacation period. Don't let me give people something to talk about; it won't be good for you or Dad."
Zhou Congsheng felt a little disappointed when he heard her refuse, but his eyes flickered slightly when he heard her still calling him "Dad".
She's really something else. She's incredibly nice to both her parents, but she's all smiles and then becomes polite and distant towards him. He really can't figure her out.
After finishing a bowl of soup, Zhou Congsheng finally felt a little relieved.
"I'll go wash the dishes. You rest for a while. If anything happens, call the nurse and I'll be right back."
"good."
Watching Zhou Congsheng's retreating figure, Shen Yuzhu smiled slightly. He really did look like a married man now.
After lying in bed all morning, she rubbed her stomach, lifted the covers and got out of bed. When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Zhou Congsheng standing in the washroom with a bowl in his hand. She smiled and was about to go closer when she heard someone talking to him inside.
"Sheng-ge, washing dishes? Tsk tsk tsk, I've never seen anyone so attentive to you before. What, do you like Shen Yuzhu that much?"
Zhou Congsheng looked up and glared at him, then said coldly, "Are you alright? Zhuzhu is still lying in the ward. I have to go back and take care of her."
"Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu, why don't you call her Sister Yuzhu anymore? Hey, not to be mean, but Brother Sheng, Shen Yuzhu is pretty, but she's not... Why are you trying to be nice to her? If you ask me, my cousin is a great girl. She's a doctor at your military hospital, and she and you are a perfect match. Why don't you consider her?"
Shen Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her eyes to look at the ground.
Zhou Congsheng unconsciously rubbed the edge of his bowl with his hand, his face dark as he looked at the person opposite him.
"Don't let me hear that again. Also, your cousin has such a big mole between her eyebrows. Every time she talks to me, I feel like Erlang Shen is staring at me. I almost bowed to her. What does she look like? Is it spit on my face?"
Shen Yuzhu: "........."
Those lips of yours, one lick and you could poison yourself!
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. But I'm here at the hospital today on behalf of the Public Security Bureau to ask Shen Yuzhu a few questions. Let's go!"
"Go ahead and ask her if you want, but be careful with your tone. Zhuzhu is delicate and can't handle being spoken to loudly right now. Don't scare her."
Xie Guoliang: "......."
If you involve Shen Yuzhu, your cerebellum will shrink!
The two returned to the ward together. Shen Yuzhu was already lying down. When she saw Zhou Congsheng return with someone else by his side, she feigned surprise for a moment before turning her attention back to Zhou Congsheng.
That kitten-like, longing gaze made Zhou Congsheng's heart ache terribly at the thought of her going to the countryside!
