Chapter 12 Those who plant trees will enjoy the shade
The huge room suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that Xia Mingyue could clearly hear the sound of Li Jingshen flicking off the ashes of his cigarette, and bits of fireworks falling from his fingertips.
Xia Mingyue seldom saw Li Jingshen smoking, or to be more precise, Li Jingshen seldom smoked in front of her because he was taking care of her "poor health".
Xia Mingyue suddenly felt uneasy. She was very happy today because she accidentally saw the text messages in Li Jingshen's mobile phone last night.
Shen Zhichu wants to divorce Li Jingshen.
She also knew that Li Jingshen went to see Shen Zhichu this morning. Xia Mingyue originally thought that he was eager to get a divorce, but his gloomy look now seemed to indicate that this was not the case.
"Shen Jing, it's time to eat." Xia Mingyue forced herself to cheer up and told herself not to be afraid. The person Li Jingshen had loved for so many years was her, and she was not someone who could be snatched away by an arrogant and domineering woman like Shen Zhichu.
Li Jingshen came to his senses, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and walked to the dining table to look at the dishes prepared by Xia Mingyue.
In a short time, he prepared three dishes and a soup, including both meat and vegetables. The food looked good, but it was still a little inferior to Shen Zhichu's cooking skills.
Why did I think of that woman again... Li Jingshen clenched his teeth and pushed the image out of his mind.
Xia Mingyue sat opposite him, holding the bowl and eating in small sips, glancing at him from time to time. She moved her lips several times as if wanting to say something, but in the end she couldn't say it.
She felt uneasy and afraid, afraid that the answer she got from her questions would be completely different from what she wanted, and she was afraid of being disappointed.
Xia Mingyue is a timid woman who has devoted all her life's ambition to Li Jingshen. She wants Li Jingshen to marry her.
Li Jingshen was absent-minded today, even losing his focus while eating. Xia Mingyue noticed it several times and finally couldn't help but put down the bowl in her hand: "Jingshen, how was your talk with Shen Zhichu today?"
A handsome man even has beautiful hands. He holds the chopsticks and eats with extremely elegant movements. Hearing Xia Mingyue's question, Li Jingshen paused slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xia Mingyue bit her lower lip lightly and stammered, "Regarding your divorce from Shen Zhichu today..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the man's gaze in front of her turn cold, and her body felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on her. Xia Mingyue shivered uncontrollably, her eyes filled with timidity.
As if sensing her fear, Li Jingshen narrowed his gaze and said, "No divorce."
Is it that Shen Zhichu is unwilling to leave or that Li Jingshen is unwilling to leave? Xia Mingyue would rather believe it is the former.
"Depth of Field, you and Shen Zhichu are the real couple. I am at best just your lover. I used to hate third parties, but I never thought that one day I would become the person I hate the most. I feel so bad that I stole someone else's husband and wanted someone else's blood."
Li Jingshen doesn't like people who feel sorry for themselves, but he feels guilty towards Xia Mingyue, so he has a rare bit of patience towards her.
"Shen Zhichu and I signed an agreement. She volunteered to have her blood drawn. You don't need to feel sorry for her."
Xia Mingyue asked with a gloomy expression: "Shen Jing, if I get better and don't need Shen Zhichu's blood anymore, will you divorce her? And does what you said before about marrying me still count now?"
Faced with these questions, Li Jingshen could not answer any of them, or he did not know how to answer them. The emotions that had just been suppressed inexplicably rose again.
Xia Mingyue had been with him for so many years that she could tell at a glance what Li Jingshen was thinking. She concealed the disappointment in her eyes and said words of self-comfort.
“Depth of field, I just don’t want you to be forced to do things you don’t want to do because of me…”
Li Jingshen stood up suddenly and interrupted her: "I'm going back to the company to work overtime, so I won't be here for the next few days."
"Depth of Field..." Li Jingshen walked very quickly. When Xia Mingyue stood up to chase him, he had already left the restaurant.
The door made a loud bang, and she was shocked and didn't know how to express herself for a moment.
Xia Mingyue walked to the window absentmindedly and looked at the figure downstairs. She kept looking until she could no longer see the shadow and still stood there.
Why should the previous generation plant trees so that the next generation can enjoy the shade? She would rather cut down the tree than let Shen Zhichu get away with it.
…….
The first thing Li Jingshen did when he returned to the company was to prepare to acquire Shen's. His assistant Zhao Qian sent him a transfer record. He glanced at the amount, a total of 3 million.
"Did he sign all the documents?"
"Signed." Zhao Qian said, "Last night, a few of us got that guy named Shen drunk and asked him to sign anything he offered. After he sobered up, he didn't get suspicious and obediently transferred 3 million yuan to us."
Li Jingshen sneered. Except for Shen Zhichu, the entire Shen family is a bunch of idiots.
"Three days to get rid of him." Li Jingshen said concisely.
"Three days, Mr. Li, I'm afraid..." Zhao Qian looked distressed and embarrassed.
Li Jingshen gave him a look and told him to figure it out for himself. Zhao Qian immediately stopped talking after seeing this and said, "Three days is enough."
After giving the order, Li Jingshen returned to his computer desk. He was used to wearing a pair of blue light glasses to protect his eyes when he was looking at the computer. His fingers pressed the keys very quickly, and a white light appeared on his lenses.
Zhao Qian quietly left the office and stole a glance at Li Jingshen as he closed the door. An idiom echoed in his mind: a gentleman but a scumbag.
