Chapter 37 A Chaotic Night
When Shen Shuang realized what Zhu Jin was about to do, she was completely dumbfounded.
She suddenly realized what was happening and began to struggle desperately.
But Zhu Jin was too strong; she couldn't possibly struggle against him.
Despite using all her might to kick and bite, Shen Shuang couldn't stop Zhu Jin.
And so, Shen Shuangmiao was finally exhausted and felt like her body was falling apart before she finally fell into a deep sleep.
...
When Shen Shuangmiao woke up again, she was still on that familiar big bed in the room.
She was in so much pain all over her body that she didn't even have the strength to move a finger.
I'm desperately trying to process everything that happened last night.
Shen Shuangmiao thought of Zhu Jin's frantic possessiveness, and how he repeatedly told her, almost in a fit of rage, that betraying him would never end well.
Shen Shuangmiao closed her eyes wearily.
From the day we got married until now, who has been betraying whom?
She has held onto their relationship for so many years, even though it was Zhu Jin who wanted to break up with her and marry Zhou Wu first.
Why should everything be pushed onto her?
Shen Shuangmiao was truly exhausted.
Everything that happened during this time feels like a dream lingering in my mind.
Just then, Fu Xuan called.
“Miaomiao, the last time we didn’t get the supplier to deliver the raw materials to the client on time, they brought it up in a meeting and said that our studio has unstable factors and can’t even do this kind of thing right, so they withdrew from our cooperation.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuangmiao's face turned even paler.
Zhu Jin is an investor in the company; with just a word from her, the partnership could fall through.
Shen Shuangmiao truly did not expect Zhu Jin to be so ruthless.
She didn't have the energy to overthink anymore, so she picked up her phone and called the director of the client's team.
The female director's voice carried a hint of apology as she softly said, "I'm so sorry, our superiors have temporarily replaced you. This is not something I can decide, so I can only apologize."
Shen Shuangmiao was momentarily dazed upon hearing these words.
She quickly said, "Could you give me half a day? I'll go to your office right now and talk to your manager!"
"Your presence is useless; we've already secured a new studio as our partner, ZW."
Upon hearing the name of the studio, Shen Shuangmiao felt dizzy.
Zhu Jin took away her cooperation opportunity and gave it to Zhou Wu.
He knew all too well how much he had sacrificed for this project, working tirelessly behind the scenes, making countless revisions, and even going on business trips to other places because of it.
Even so, Zhu Jin left without even blinking.
Who is she?
Is he just a tool that Zhu Jin uses to humiliate and torment at will?
Shen Shuangmiao got out of bed and picked up the clothes scattered on the floor one by one.
Some of the clothes had already been torn and deformed by Zhu Jin, but she didn't care. After getting dressed, she endured the discomfort all over her body and walked out.
The maid was cooking when she saw Shen Shuangmiao and smiled, her attitude towards her showing a different kind of attentiveness than usual.
"Madam, you're awake. Come down and have breakfast."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuangmiao glanced at her but ignored her.
Another doctor carrying a medical kit came in from outside and smiled when he saw Shen Shuangmiao.
"Madam, the master sent me here to examine you. He said you... cough cough, he said you've been pushing yourself too hard, so..."
Shen Shuangmiao didn't let him finish speaking, and instead looked straight ahead as she brushed past him.
"Sigh..." Before the doctor could say anything, he saw Shen Shuangmiao ignoring everyone and walking out in a daze.
Noticing that something was wrong with her, the doctor and the maid exchanged a glance and decided to call Zhu Jin.
Shen Shuangmiao was wandering the streets, unaware that her cell phone was ringing in her pocket.
She walked forward, thinking about the sweet five years she had spent with Zhu Jin, the recent dramatic changes, and the two years she had lived in pain and despair.
Shen Shuangmiao felt increasingly distressed and on the verge of collapse the more she thought about it.
She didn't realize she had reached the studio entrance before she suddenly went black and fainted.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
I heard worried calls from my ears.
Shen Shuangmiao could finally close her eyes with peace of mind.
She wanted to just fall asleep and never wake up again, not wanting to waste any time or energy in this world.
Because living is a form of torture.
Shen Shuangmiao kept plunging herself into darkness.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she opened her eyes again, she was somewhat dazed.
Everything before my eyes seemed to have completely changed.
All she could see was the white ceiling, with an IV drip bottle hanging above her head.
And... Fu Xuan, who was working nearby.
Shen Shuangmiao was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously called out to him.
“Fu Xuan…”
Fu Xuan stopped typing and looked up to see Shen Shuangmiao looking at him listlessly.
He rushed over and helped Shen Shuangmiao prop up her pillow, a complex mix of emotions and heartache flashing in his eyes.
How are you feeling now? Are you any better?
Shen Shuangmiao nodded, looking around in surprise. She never expected that she would faint and end up in the hospital.
She tried to sit up and asked, "Did I faint and end up in the hospital because of low blood sugar?"
Fu Xuan's eyes flickered, and his expression changed slightly, as if he didn't know what to say.
Shen Shuangmiao was taken aback and immediately sensed something was wrong: "What's wrong? Could I have contracted some incurable disease?"
"No, no, why would you think that? It's not an incurable disease, it's just..."
Mentioning this, Fu Xuan didn't know what to say. After a long while, he sighed softly, "The doctor said you were too tired and overworked yesterday. You didn't rest well or eat, so you were exhausted and fainted..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuangmiao understood what he meant.
A feeling of anger, shame, and embarrassment welled up inside me.
Shen Shuangmiao pressed her lips tightly together, unable to utter a single word, only lowering her eyes silently, feeling deeply humiliated.
Seeing that she was deeply affected by this incident, Fu Xuan felt sorry for her.
He spoke with difficulty: "How could this happen? You attended the exchange meeting alone yesterday, what happened?"
Shen Shuangmiao didn't want to recall that incident anymore, so she bit her lip and looked up at Fu Xuan.
"I don't want to tell you what happened. Please don't force me, okay? I'm begging you."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan's eyes flickered, and he nodded: "I'm not pressing you for answers. I'm just afraid you'll get hurt because you don't seem to be doing this willingly."
Shen Shuangmiao closed her eyes in pain.
Seeing her distressed state, Fu Xuan was at a loss for what to do.
He raised his hand and poured a glass of water for Shen Shuangmiao.
“I won’t interfere in your affairs, so let’s talk about work. It’s not just the project we’re currently working on; the next project has also been snatched away by ZW Studio. With Zhu Jin protecting her, we can only accept our fate.”
Shen Shuangmiao's eyes shifted slightly, and she murmured, "Admit defeat?"
