Chapter 138 She had terminal cancer and was about to die.
In the evening, the atmosphere in the conference room became somewhat heavy.
Leaning against the table, Lu Zhenyu asked again, "Are you sure?"
Yaya on the other end of the phone kept kowtowing, "It's true, it's true, there are only ten million left in the account, and we need to distribute winter subsidies to ten thousand impoverished students soon, we really can't touch it."
Lu Zhenyu bit her lip and thought for a moment, "Then it will be from my personal account. You can take my U-shield to the bank first thing tomorrow morning to do it."
Shi Yiqiao, who was lying on the table pulling out her hair, immediately looked up and said, "No, Zhenzhen, I can't let you pay for it yourself anymore. If this continues, I'm afraid you'll end up homeless and begging for food."
Yaya agreed, "Sister Zhen, charity is a bottomless pit. No matter how rich you are, one person can't fill this bottomless pit. This is not a solution."
Even a person with a clear and strong heart would become impatient and irritable after witnessing such tragic casualties every day.
No matter what she did, Lu Zhenyu was at her wit's end. "Money can be earned back, but you want me to watch them freeze and starve to death..." She couldn't do it.
Looking at the girl with eyes full of guilt, Shi Yiqiao felt a little regretful.
Amnesia doesn't mean a change of personality. The fact that the kind-hearted Lu Zhenyu witnesses so many people dying in front of her every day, yet is helpless in the midst of it all, is what is wasting her life. Shi Yiqiao should have foreseen this.
He held his head in his hands and thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and slammed his hand on the table. "I'm going to find the Commandant."
Lu Zhenyu looked over sharply, her eyes wide with astonishment, as if to say, "Are you sure?"
Shi Yiqiao nodded, "We've been separated for four years, and I've long since moved on. Anyway, he has more money than he can spend. If he takes out a tiny bit of his wealth to do global publicity for the Si family, he won't lose out on this deal, and he'll definitely agree."
Business.
Lu Zhenyu had a light tuft of furrows between her brows.
She knew they had been dating for nine years, but she didn't know what kind of experience would make a girl think of a profitable deal that the man could accept when she went to ask him for help.
A loud bang suddenly erupted outside the camp.
Having spent years here, Shi Yiqiao has an extremely keen professional instinct. He immediately pulled off his coat from the chair and said, "They're probably fighting again, Zhenzhen. I have to go run some videos. You should get some rest."
After he finished speaking, he left with his team in a large group.
Lu Zhenyu couldn't sleep at all. More injured people were carried in from outside, and the Doctors Without Borders were too busy. Having spent several years working outside, Lu Zhenyu had accumulated some first aid knowledge and helped out.
It was too tragic; most of those sent were civilians who had been hit by the explosion or stray bullets.
Death is a common occurrence in this refugee camp; the youngest is still in his mother's womb, and the oldest is not even forty.
One, two, a dozen, twenty—this was the first time Lu Zhenyu had ever seen such a sight. The corpses were piled up in the back of a truck and sent to a mass grave to be burned.
The thin body bags were their last shred of dignity in a chaotic world.
She didn't know how the former three-time Golden Horse Award-winning actress, who used to enjoy the spotlight and be adored by stars, could still stay here for four years despite facing all that every day. In short, Lu Zhenyu couldn't sleep and tossed and turned.
Feng Manman called the next day at noon. Looking at the faces that were all incredibly dark, she thought she had called an African native.
The girls were pregnant, and they didn't want to tell her these upsetting things, but Feng Manman could guess what was going on.
Living on that prosperous and stable land in China, people seem familiar with the word "war" but are actually quite unfamiliar with it.
Who doesn't want world peace? Who doesn't want to be a great hero like Iron Man or Spider-Man?
"Seeing you two go off to save the world while I'm just loafing around at home every day, I suddenly feel like my life is such a waste."
Lu Zhenyu smiled, her white teeth making her face appear even darker. "We are saving the world, and you are creating it too. Being a mother is great; without mothers, there would be no world."
Just last night, she encountered a mother who had her leg blown off in an explosion while protecting her two-year-old daughter. She was bleeding almost to death and was begging them to give her daughter something to eat before being brought to the hospital.
Shi Yiqiao, who was standing next to him, suddenly made a "Huh?" sound and stared blankly at the remittance information sent by the bank.
Startled, she walked over to Lu Zhenyu and asked, "Manman, did you transfer this 50 million to me?"
A sweet voice came from the other end of the line, "Yes, but it's not just me, my sister-in-law too. We chipped in. They said supplies are tight, so you can use these first. If it's not enough, we'll ask our husbands for more."
Shi Yiqiao was so moved she almost cried, but then she felt guilty. "I feel like I've become a money-guzzling beast. I hope I won't really drain you all dry in the end."
Feng Manman laughed, "If you really have the ability to spend tens of figures, I, Feng Manman, will pat my chest and respect you as a real man."
Then she added, "Oh right, didn't you say it's going to get colder where you are? My sister-in-law and I prepared some things for you two, and my second brother took them with him. They should arrive tomorrow."
Lu Zhenyu, who had been resting with her eyes closed, opened them. "Jin Zhou is coming?"
Feng Manman grinned mischievously, "Your apprentice is being used as cannon fodder over there, how could his master not go and check on him? It just so happens that he's leading troops on an exchange trip, so he's just dropping by to see you."
Shi Yiqiao had just received 50 million from Feng Manman a second ago, and less than half an hour later he received a special grant from Lingdun Group.
A huge sum of money was transferred in ten installments to ten accounts belonging to Shi Yiqiao and Lu Zhenyu.
Siwei was in a good mood tonight. He swirled his wine glass as he slowly made his way to his private jet, constantly on the phone.
"Hey, did my ex-girlfriend need your help?"
The voice on the other end was hoarse, "Your ex-girlfriend's name is Lu Zhenyu?"
Commandant, "..."
Okay, he knew it.
He casually asked again, "How much did you transfer over there?"
Upon hearing the number the other party quoted, the man froze in the aisle. "How many? Ten? Why do you have more than me?!"
A soft voice came from the other end, "Because I love Zhenzhen."
Si Wei laughed, "Heh, you make it sound like I don't love..." He paused for two seconds, then realized what he'd said and suddenly yelled into the microphone, "I don't love anyone!"
The anger came inexplicably and subsided just as quickly. After a while, she slumped onto the sofa, feeling weak all over, and opened the voice message sent by Shen Jingsi: "Take care of Zhenzhen for me."
Commandant, "You really aren't going?"
He spent money and effort, but not only did he not rush to ask his wife for a reward, he also used his name and didn't even show his face.
A voice came from the other end: "I'm not going."
Si Wei frowned, took a small sip of wine, and said, "I'm telling you, have you been keeping someone on the side all these years?"
Otherwise, why would he be going to New Zealand every few days? He used to go see Little Pearl, but now that she's gone, he's going to see ghosts.
Looking at the little one being resuscitated in the glass chamber, Shen Jingsi, who hadn't slept for days, looked exhausted. He closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and said in a hoarse voice, "You know about this. Don't spread it around, or Zhenzhen will get jealous."
He made a joke, but there was no hint of joking in his tone.
Siwei rolled his eyes. "I can't be bothered with you, but let me tell you, I heard that Feng Lao Er went too. You'd better figure it out yourself."
If this had happened before, Shen Jingsi would have definitely asked him what he was doing.
But ever since that night when the girl opened her heart to him, he has been able to remain calm whenever he hears the name "Feng Jinzhou".
"That's good. With him gone, he can take better care of Zhenzhen."
Siwei gasped twice, "Huh? I just don't understand, when did you become so tolerant and magnanimous?"
In the past, anyone who dared to get even half a meter close to Lu Zhenyu would pretend to be respectful and humble to avoid upsetting her, but would secretly find an opportunity to teach them a lesson.
"Shen Jingsi, something's not right with you."
Something's not right.
The officer couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong, but there was definitely something wrong with the person.
"You...you're not sick, are you?"
Shen Jingsi paused for a moment, then asked, "What illness?"
"Brain tumor, liver, lung, stomach, breast, pancreatic cancer?"
Otherwise, Siwei really couldn't imagine how a man who used to be so unrestrained and arrogant could become so... cautious, dull, and humble.
After a moment of silence, "You're right, he has terminal cancer and will die soon."
Commandant, "..."
