Chapter 127 President Li is so nice to you
Li Jingshen coaxed people like he would coax a kitten or puppy. To him, Shen Zhichu's hoarse anger was like blowing air.
"Who's messing with you?"
"Okay, okay, since you didn't make a fuss, just eat. If you don't want to eat the candied haws, then don't eat it. I won't buy it for you in the future." He thought Shen Zhichu liked it very much.
…….
Li Jingshen did not insist on taking Shen Zhichu to the movies. Shen Zhichu was not in good spirits and felt sleepy after dinner, so he took her back.
As soon as she got in the car, she leaned back in the seat and closed her eyes. The reason for her current sleepiness was because of the medicine prescribed by the psychiatrist. Taking too much of the medicine was bad for the body, but not taking it would not be able to control the condition. All medicines are toxic, so she could only reduce the dosage gradually.
She didn't wake up when they got home. Li Jingshen wanted to carry her inside, but she woke up as soon as his fingers touched her waist.
Like a conditioned reflex, she stared at him warily with a pair of eyes. Li Jingshen saw all kinds of expressions in Shen Zhichu's eyes, including fear, terror, indifference, vigilance, confusion, but the only thing missing was the joy that was once the most abundant in her. Li Jingshen was stunned by her stare, and then a feeling of emptiness came over him, as if his heart was bitten.
"I saw you were sleeping very soundly, so I thought of carrying you up."
Shen Zhichu didn't appreciate his kindness and staggered out of the car to open the back door to get the gift.
I slept in the same position all the way, and my body was sore, especially my neck. When I tilted my head back, my bones creaked.
When Li Jingshen backed into the garage, Shen Zhichu had already taken out the key and opened the door. She went straight to the bedroom on the second floor and took out the gifts in her hand one by one.
They were not valuable things, but the fact that the child made them showed great thoughtfulness, and this was the first time she had received so many gifts.
The slightly complicated handicraft was completed by several children. Shen Zhichu took out a palm-sized wishing bottle filled with colorful stars made from various plastic tubes. Shen Zhichu shook the bottle and saw a small ranking word on the base of the bottle.
The names of these children were written on each gift, indicating that they were made by them.
Shen Zhichu felt warm in her heart. She put the gifts one by one into the drawer under the cabinet. At the last one, she saw a pair of exquisitely designed "candied haws" earrings.
Shen Zhichu took it out and saw the words "Bai Qiu" written on the bottom side of the box.
They were just two ordinary words, but she was at a loss, as if a big hand had grabbed her heart and was tightening little by little.
If this happened a month ago, Shen Zhichu would never have dared to believe that she would care so much about a big fool whom she had only met once.
…….
The maid hired by Li Jingshen moved into the villa. Her name was Zhou Xiao, she was 23 years old, a college graduate, and had been independent since childhood due to a poor family. There was nothing she couldn't do. She had originally gone to Li's company to interview for a secretary position, but was poached by Zhao Qian to work here as a maid. The career gap was so different that it was simply a waste of talent.
"What method did Zhao Qian use to trick you into coming here to work as a maid?" A good college student came here to work as a maid. The only thing Shen Zhichu could think of was: she was deceived.
Zhou Xiao looked nonchalant when talking about this: "What else could it be? Of course it's the money. Being a servant here for a month is more than twice what I make working in the company."
The servants that Li Jingshen hired at a high price were not only capable of cooking and cleaning, but more importantly, they could chat with Chen Zhichu to relieve his boredom.
Zhou Xiao was cooking in the kitchen according to the nutritional recipes prescribed by the hospital. She was a good cook and was good at asking questions, so she understood Shen Zhichu's taste and dietary restrictions in just one day.
"Miss Shen, I really think that President Li treats you very well. There were rumors that President Li had a sweetheart and that marrying you was just a marriage of convenience for the wealthy, but now I don't think so at all."
There was a TV on in the living room, but Shen Zhichu was flipping through a book. She wasn't paying attention to anything. When she heard Zhou Xiao's words, her fingers stiffened: "Don't you feel anything?"
Zhou Xiao replied, "That's right... If he didn't love you, he would probably divorce you. I've been here for a few days and I feel that President Li is very attentive to you. He often asks me about you and what I did during the day. He also asked me about the holy places for couples to date. I think he decided to take you out for a walk during his break."
She saw Li Jingshen's feelings for Shen Zhichu, but she felt that Shen Zhichu didn't like Li Jingshen as much as people said on the Internet.
Shen Zhichu listened quietly, and only said after listening: "So, in your eyes, this is love? Being nice to someone?"
She said this in a very soft voice, almost without emotion, with her eyes half closed and an expression of complete silence.
Zhou Xiao nodded blankly, her voice stuttering: "Isn't it... isn't it?"
After hearing this, Shen Zhichu couldn't help but sneered, his voice extremely cold and sarcastic: "Do you know why he invited you here to be a servant?"
"Because you are sick, President Li asked me to take care of you, talk to you more, and urge you to eat and take medicine." Isn't this good?
Shen Zhichu asked again: "Then do you know how I got sick?"
Zhou Xiao didn't answer. Of course she didn't know about these things. She saw on the Internet that Shen Zhichu was ill. She didn't ask about the details. After all, mental illness was not a good word.
"I was seven weeks pregnant when Li Jingshen threw me off a building and caused a miscarriage. Afterwards, he brought another woman to the hospital and discussed how many children I should give birth to for his lover to raise, like he was discussing an animal. My life was worse than death, worse than a dog!"
"It's actually like this..." Zhou Xiao's ears were buzzing, and she couldn't believe that things were like this.
What happened between her and Li Jingshen couldn't be explained in just a few words. Shen Zhichu put down the book in her hand: "So don't say anything good about him in front of me, it will only make me more disgusted with him!"
