Chapter 149: I’m used to taking medicine and coffee doesn’t taste bitter anymore
Shen Zhichu got in the car with the windows closed tightly. It was autumn and the temperature was not low, but she broke out in a cold sweat.
The driver glanced in the rearview mirror, saw the sweat on her forehead and asked, "Are you hot? Do you want to turn on the air conditioning?"
"It's not hot." Shen Zhichu shook his head, clenching his fingers tightly, "I'm cold."
She was so scared that her whole body was cold. Yes, how could she not be afraid? She knew Shen Xiu Lihun, but she didn't expect that he would owe a huge sum of 10 million.
Ten million is just a small amount of money for Li Jingshen, but for Shen Zhichu, it is the straw that can break her life.
Shen Zhichu looked out the window, his face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice that would break at the slightest touch.
Shen Zhichu glanced at the time, it was only two o'clock, and she rushed over at three o'clock.
After all, he was too impatient. When he arrived at the destination, Shen Zhichu paid the fare and got off the car. This was a famous underground gambling city in Chengdu. Shen Zhichu had passed by here but had never been in.
The people who come here are mainly divided into two categories: rich people and poor people, two extremes.
Shen Zhichu did not go in immediately, but found a coffee shop to sit in and began to think about what she should do next. How should she negotiate with the people inside after she went in, and how did Shen Xiuli owe them money?
She had to raise five million in a week, but even if she drained all her blood and dug out all her internal organs, she still couldn't do it.
Shen Zhichu was used to hiding her joys and sorrows in public. She sat there calmly. It would be more accurate to say that she had lost her soul rather than thinking.
The scalding hot coffee was served to her, and she took it without thinking. She seemed not to feel the scalding heat of the cup until the waiter reminded her, and her hands were already red.
Facing the waiter's worried look, she just waved her hand and said, "It's okay."
Shen Zhichu is afraid of bitterness. In the past, she would only choose to drink coffee when she couldn't bear the work, but she would add a lot of sugar. The amount of sugar she added made others feel sick, but she felt that coffee would be bitter no matter how much sugar she added.
After being diagnosed with stomach cancer, she followed Qin Mo's advice and stopped drinking coffee. Now when she drinks it again, she feels that the coffee is not so bitter anymore.
After Shen Zhichu finished her coffee, she looked at the time and saw it was already five o'clock, so she called Li Jingshen.
After waiting for ten seconds, the call was finally hung up. Shen Zhichu thought of what Zhao Qian had told her in the morning that Li Jingshen had an important meeting in the afternoon.
Shen Zhichu pursed his lips and sent a text message to Li Jingshen, telling him that he had something to do and would be back late today.
After sending the text message, Shen Zhichu checked out and scanned the code to pay.
Shen Zhichu looked at the private room number sent by the other party on her phone and walked towards the dungeon. The place was very large and the rooms were winding. Worried about being late, she directly called a waiter to take her there.
Shen Zhichu arrived half an hour earlier than the agreed time, and the waiter knocked on the door.
After waiting for a while, the door opened from the inside, and a burst of singing mixed with the flirting sounds of a man and a woman came from inside.
The box was very large, with blue and purple lighting effects filling every corner. Shen Zhichu glanced inside hurriedly before formally looking at the man who opened the door in front of him.
Shen Zhichu's first impression was that the other person was very tall, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, with arms as big as her thighs, huge muscles, blood vessels protruding from the skin, and a terrifying aura all over his body.
Shen Zhichu calmed himself down and said calmly, "Where's Shen Xiuli?"
When Shen Xiuli said this, the other party knew who she was. The tall and strong man turned his head and said in a strong voice: "Boss, Miss Shen is here."
"Let her in." It was the voice on the phone.
The man made way aside: "Come in."
