Chapter 93 Annulled Engagement
With only two weeks left until the Lunar New Year, a major event has spread throughout the capital.
The marriage between the eldest son of the Ji family and the eldest daughter of the Shi family was unilaterally canceled by the Ji family.
Shi Bin and Song Zhihua visited the Ji family several times, but the Ji family was determined not to let Shi Yue into their home, and even refused to see them.
Shi Yue became depressed and self-harmed several times.
All the knives in the Shi family's knives had been put away; there wasn't a single sharp object left.
Song Zhihua felt sorry for her daughter: "Yueyue, tell Mom, what exactly happened?"
Shi Yue's eyes were vacant, and she didn't say anything, as if she had lost her soul.
That day, Shi Xing returned home after hanging out with a group of friends.
Shi Bin and Song Zhihua went to a business exchange meeting, leaving only the maid and Shi Yue at home.
The maid had prepared dinner and was ready to take it up to Shi Yue.
Shi Xing took it: "I'll do it. I'll go check on my sister anyway."
Shi Yue's bedroom door was ajar, and it was pitch black inside.
He knocked on the door: "Sis, I've brought you dinner."
"sister?"
I called out again, but there was no response.
Are you asleep?
Shi Xing pushed open the door and went in.
Shi Yue's eyes were tightly closed, and her face had an unnatural bluish-white tinge.
Even if Shi Xing was slow to react, he would realize that something was wrong.
My gaze was fixed on the medicine bottles scattered on the floor in her hand.
His pupils contracted: "Sister!"
...
With the New Year approaching, the capital city is enveloped in an atmosphere of pre-New Year preparations.
Aunt Cui started cutting paper snowflakes early in the morning.
Although ready-made window decorations are sold in stores nowadays, the older generation prefers this traditional folk custom and likes to make them themselves.
Yuelan exceeded its annual work plan before the new year, and all employees started their annual leave yesterday.
Shi Yang was bored out of his mind and cut paper snowflakes with Aunt Cui in the living room.
The weather is nice today; the golden sunlight shines through the window, warming us all.
Naifu stretched lazily, changed her posture, and continued sunbathing.
It was Shi Yang's first time cutting paper snowflakes, and she cut them crookedly and ruined several of them.
Aunt Cui taught her very patiently.
Although he hadn't quite grasped the essence of it, Shi Yang still enjoyed the feeling of this slow-paced life.
This peaceful and tranquil moment was interrupted by an urgent and piercing telephone ring.
"Hurry! I'm dying!"
Shi Yang went out without even changing her clothes.
When they were still a few steps away from the ward, Lu Qingqing's voice, which sounded like a pig being slaughtered, came out.
"Be gentle, doctor! Be gentle! It hurts! Help, Mommy—"
When Shi Yang went in, the doctor was setting her bones.
Lu Qingqing, tears streaming down her face, said, "Shi Yang, you've finally come."
Shi Yang looked down and saw that Lu Qingqing's ankle was bruised and swollen like a big pig's hoof.
Taking advantage of her distraction, the doctor forcefully set the bone, and Lu let out another soft cry of pain.
The doctor rubbed her ear and put a cast on it.
The deer asked pitifully, "Doctor, when will I get better?"
"A broken bone or tendon will take a hundred days to heal; you should take good care of yourself."
She was pushed to the ward in a wheelchair by Shi Yang.
"How could he suddenly break a bone?"
Speaking of this, Lu Qingqing's face turned red with anger, and she said through gritted teeth, "It's all because of that Meng Yaozhu. He's like he's blind. The road is so wide, yet he insists on driving right into my face!"
After listening for a while, Shi Yang realized that Meng Yaozhu was the newly appointed boss of her company.
During her lunch break, Lu Qingqing went to the underground parking garage to check the tires. She had noticed that the tires were leaking air when she drove over that morning.
Before she could even react after getting behind the car, she was hit and thrown into the air by a black G-Class.
She clutched her buttocks in so much pain she couldn't speak. Meng Yaozhu slowly got out of the car, frowning as he looked at her: "Sorry, you're too young, you didn't see it."
Lu Qingqing was so angry that she pounded the bed. She was so agitated that she pulled on her foot and cried out in pain.
"He's definitely getting revenge on me!"
"What retaliation? What grudge do you have against me?"
Lu Qingqing said, word by word, "Report! To! Me! That! He! Was! Slept!!"
Pfft—
Shi Yang was taking a sip of water when he suddenly spat it out.
He casually wiped his face, not caring about his appearance, his eyes gleaming: "Tell me more."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a noise came from the doorway.
"Reporter Lu, President Meng has come to see you,"
A man in a suit and tie entered the ward. He had handsome features and a cold, indifferent expression.
The assistant placed the bags of supplements and gift boxes on the ground, and then took out a check: "Reporter Lu, I am very sorry that this happened and that you have suffered so much. This 500,000 is Mr. Chu's token of appreciation."
To be honest, the assistant felt wronged by the money. Their car was backing up normally in the underground parking garage when reporter Lu suddenly darted out from their blind spot. Her car was small, and she was even smaller, so they didn't see her at all.
By the time the brakes came on, it was too late; Reporter Lu had already been thrown into the air by the rear of the car.
Lu Qingqing said irritably, "Trying to bribe me? The big boss is really rich..."
Meng Yaozhu frowned, and his assistant immediately understood. He crumpled up the check and wrote a new one: "Keep this million to take good care of your health. Mr. Meng will cover all hospital expenses."
Lu glanced at it a few times, silently counted Lynn's zeros in her mind, and after confirming that none of the zeros on the check were missing, she cleared her throat and said reluctantly, "Alright, it's not easy for anyone, I understand that President Meng didn't do it on purpose."
Meng Yaozhu sneered: "Now that I've settled my debt to you, what about the debt you owe me? You said it wasn't intentional that night, didn't you?"
Realizing it was inappropriate for him to remain present, Shi Yang left the ward, and Meng Yaozhu's assistant followed him out.
Only Meng Yaozhu and Lu Qingqing remained in the ward.
Lu Qingqing's usually defiant face showed a hint of embarrassment: "I already said it was an accident, and besides, didn't I give you the money?"
"Two hundred yuan to get rid of me? Lu Qingqing, who gave you the guts?" Meng Yaozhu said coldly.
Lu glared at him angrily: "Why do you, a grown man, keep dwelling on these trivial matters? We were both drunk that night and not quite right in the head. Besides, aren't you upset?"
Why are you acting like she's ruined you?
Meng Yaozhu: "..."
That night, there was a company social event, and Lu Qingqing accompanied Meng Yaozhu to attend. Meng Yaozhu drank too much, and his assistant happened to be absent that night.
Lu Qingqing could only settle him in the hotel. As a result, she also drank quite a bit. After all, it's normal for adult men and women to have some things happen.
Who knew that when Meng Yaozhu woke up the next day, his gaze towards her was so cold that he wanted to freeze her into ice.
"You dare touch me?"
Lu Qingqing was so angry she laughed. She was a young, unmarried woman, and before she could even say anything, he was already acting like he was going to die.
He sneered, "I slept with her, and the experience was pretty good."
As she spoke, she took two hundred yuan from her wallet and threw it to him: "Mr. Meng, the money and goods are settled, so please don't hold it against me."
Then, under the man's murderous gaze, she calmly left the hotel.
On her way home, a gust of cold wind woke Lu Qingqing up completely.
Realizing she had just said something she shouldn't have to her boss, she nearly died on the spot.
For the next few days, she wished she could bury herself in the ground and hide at the company.
