Chapter 47 A different woman to take care of him
Zhu Jin has always suffered from headaches.
When we were working together in the studio, I was afraid she would suffer, so I took on several jobs to support her. That year, she suffered from the cold, overwork, and staying up late, which caused her to develop health problems.
In severe cases, she not only needs to take medicine, but also drink a tonic soup that she specially obtained from an old Chinese medicine doctor in order to relieve the symptoms.
She has rarely gone home in the past two years, but whenever Zhu Jin has a severe headache, her assistant will call to ask her for some nourishing soup.
Shen Shuangmiao always hoped that Zhu Jin could come back. Even if he couldn't come back, she didn't want anything to happen to him. So, after receiving the call, she would immediately go to the market to buy the freshest medicinal herbs, make soup for Zhu Jin, and then have her assistant deliver it back.
At that time, she comforted herself, thinking that Zhu Jin did not completely dislike her; at least when he was in pain, he unconsciously relied on her and sought her help.
For the past two years, she has still felt that the two of them are like inseparable comrades-in-arms, and that one day their relationship will be restored to its original state.
In retrospect, it was nothing more than her wishful thinking.
Zhu Jin enjoyed her care and the nourishing soup she cooked, but he also had another woman in his heart and was reluctant to divorce her.
It wasn't until he subjected her to two years of emotional abuse that she realized his feelings and heart weren't with her or her family, leaving her heartbroken and unable to bear it any longer, that the relationship finally ended when she filed for divorce.
Zhu Jin noticed Shen Shuangmiao's pause and saw her staring blankly at the painkillers; the anger in his eyes subsided slightly.
A faint hint of expectation, which even he himself was unaware of, flashed across his eyes.
Shen Shuangmiao placed the pain relief box on the table and then looked at him.
"Are you having a headache?"
Zhu Jin looked away and gave a soft hum.
"It's none of your business."
Shen Shuangmiao pursed her lips. "Of course I won't interfere, but since your pain is partly my fault, don't worry. I will take full responsibility."
Zhu Jin paused slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing, and his expression softened somewhat.
"you……"
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Shuangmiao took out her phone, quickly found Zhou Wu's number, and dialed it.
The call was answered, and Zhou Wu's gentle yet slightly surprised voice came from the other end.
"Miaomiao, why did you suddenly decide to call me?"
Zhu Jin frowned.
Shen Shuangmiao's tone was indifferent: "Miss Zhou, Zhu Jin's headache has flared up again. There is medicine here, but he needs to drink a special tonic soup to feel better. I will send the recipe to your phone now. You can make the soup for him from now on. It would be best if you could come over tonight to take care of him."
She didn't even bother to wait for Zhou Wu to say anything. After finishing her sentence, she hung up the phone, lowered her head, and quickly typed, sending the herbal medicine formula that she had memorized and could recite by heart directly to Zhou Wu's phone.
Finally, Shen Shuangmiao looked at Zhu Jin.
The gloom in Zhu Jin's eyes was clearly visible.
"The woman you like will come to take care of you soon." Shen Shuangmiao gave a faint smile.
"Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore, and I won't make you nourishing soup by hand anymore. Your headaches have nothing to do with me."
This time, Shen Shuangmiao didn't linger. She walked straight to the door, opened it, and disappeared from Zhu Jin's sight.
The door closed gently, shutting out those behind them.
The huge living room fell into a deathly silence.
Zhu Jin sat on the sofa, his face as if covered with ice, his eyes churning with intense emotions that he then fiercely suppressed.
He looked at the bank card and painkillers on the coffee table, as well as a message he had just received on his phone.
"How are you? Ah Jin, I'm coming right away!"
Zhou Wu's words were full of concern, but an unprecedented sense of irritation still overwhelmed Zhu Jin.
The headache became increasingly severe.
Zhu Jin's head felt like it was about to explode.
He took a deep breath, picked up his phone, ignored Zhou Wu's message, and dialed a number.
An assistant's voice came through: "President Zhu."
Zhu Jin's voice was low and cold as he said, "Go do something for me."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and his gaze returned to the screen.
His screensaver is a picture of the starry sky.
Zhu Jin thought of the time he and Shen Shuangmiao watched the starry sky together, and his eyes gradually darkened.
Soon, Shen Shuangmiao returned to the studio, her lips bearing a noticeable red tinge.
Fu Xuan was waiting to see her appear, so he anxiously went to greet her.
"President Zhao suddenly came to the studio. He insisted on waiting for you before discussing specific investment matters. You..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly noticed the unusual appearance of Shen Shuang's lips, and his expression darkened.
"Did Zhu Jin bully you again?"
Shen Shuangmiao was too exhausted to say anything more. She shook her head and walked wearily toward her office.
In the office, Zhao Mobai was sitting with his back to her. By the window.
Facing her sugar daddy, Shen Shuangmiao quickly perked up and put away her earlier fatigue and boredom.
She gave a polite smile and walked over.
"Mr. Zhao, I didn't expect it to be you. What brings you here again? Do you have any opinions about the investment?"
Zhao Mobai turned his head and gave her a half-smile, his gaze landing precisely on her lips.
"Looks like the boss of your studio has a pretty leisurely life, with time to go out and have romance?"
Shen Shuangmiao was taken aback, then realized what he meant.
She pursed her lips: "No, it's not what you think. Mr. Zhao, you haven't answered my question yet."
"No, there's no problem with the investment itself, it's just that the man..."
Zhao Mobai stood up.
He lowered his head and stared intently at Shen Shuangmiao.
"What do you plan to do with my investment? And what can you do to repay me in the future? We need to discuss many things in detail."
Shen Shuangmiao immediately stretched out her hand, gesturing for him to sit down.
"I'll make you some tea, let's have a good talk..."
Zhao Mobai interrupted her, smiling slightly, "Let me take you to the restaurant. I don't really like the atmosphere here. The soundproofing in your office isn't very good; I find it noisy."
Shen Shuangmiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Let's go then. I'll find a quiet restaurant now."
Zhao Mobai nodded and left first.
He strode out.
The employees in the studio all looked shocked.
As soon as the others left, they all surrounded Shen Shuangmiao, asking her questions.
"Wow, it really is Zhao Mobai! Is this for real? I'm not seeing things, am I?!"
"President Zhao actually came to our studio in person!"
Seeing their shocked expressions, Shen Shuangmiao was both amused and exasperated.
She chuckled, "There's no need for you to get so worked up. Mr. Zhao will be coming to our studio quite often in the future, and you might even have the chance to speak with him."
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of anticipation and joy.
Fu Xuan reminded them not to surround Shen Shuangmiao.
"Tell the boss to hurry over there, don't keep them waiting."
Shen Shuangmiao followed Zhao Mobai to the restaurant.
On the way, Zhao Mobai kept answering phone calls, using technical jargon that she couldn't understand, and seemed very busy.
Shen Shuangmiao was somewhat surprised.
What makes her so special that Zhao Mobai would put aside his work and make time to talk to her about investment?
Just as Zhao Mobai said at the banquet, he doesn't know how many investments he will close and how much money he will make in five minutes.
etc……!
Shen Shuangmiao suddenly paused, and for some reason suddenly thought of what Zhu Jin had said.
Zhao Mobai's investment in her was probably simply because he believed in her studio, rather than because of anything between them...
