Chapter 230 Is it so difficult to trust each other?
"You deserve a lover who will care for you tenderly, not someone who hangs up on you without even listening to your explanation." Lu Tingchuan added, "If you're with me, I'll give you plenty of freedom and won't interfere with your social life. At the very least, respect and trust are essential."
Shen Zhichu's face darkened. She knew better than anyone what kind of person Li Jingshen was, and there was no need for an outsider to care about him.
"Sowing discord is useless to me."
Lu Tingchuan's lips curled up into a playful smile: "Whether it's to sow discord or not, you'll know when you get back."
Shen Zhichu's brain is not as flexible as before, but that doesn't mean she is stupid.
From what Lu Tingchuan said, she could almost conclude that his approach to her was definitely not love at first sight but had other purposes.
Shen Zhichu stared at her phone with a pale face. She looked at the cake in front of her. It tasted sweet and was very appetizing at first glance, but her stomach seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't eat anything.
How to comfort a man when he is angry?
Shen Zhichu fell into this problem. She was at fault for what happened today. She shouldn't have lied to Li Jingshen and said she was eating alone.
Shen Zhichu called the waiter and ordered two matcha cakes to take away.
"You're not eating anymore?" Lu Tingchuan looked at the table in front of her. She had only taken a few bites of the beef on the plate, a little of the appetizer, and basically didn't touch the soup.
"I'm full, thank you for your hospitality." Shen Zhichu took out the card and said, "We'll split the bill for this meal. No one's treating anyone else."
This shows that he has made up his mind to draw a clear line between himself and Lu Tingchuan.
Lu Tingchuan looked at her cold attitude and said nothing, but his brown eyes became deeper.
Shen Zhichu took the cake to pay the bill, but was told at the front desk that he didn't have to pay for the meal because Lu Tingchuan was the owner of the place.
Shen Zhichu turned around in surprise, and saw Lu Tingchuan standing behind her and winking at her.
"Will you transfer the money to me?"
"Yes, give me your account."
"Why would you bother me? Just add me on WeChat."
Lu Tingchuan took out his cell phone. It was the WeChat account that Shen Zhichu had just registered. There was only Li Jingshen in it. She hadn't posted anything, and her circle of friends was clean with no privacy.
Shen Zhichu scanned his VX account and transferred the money to him.
"Okay." Lu Tingchuan clicked the payment button. Knowing he couldn't keep her, he said, "I'll take you home. It's still raining outside."
"No need." Shen Zhichu's expression was cold.
Lu Tingchuan didn't force it. After watching Shen Zhichu leave, he took out his phone, flipped to the message page, and clicked on the top message.
When he saw the photos sent by the other party, he curled the corners of his lips, then found a few photos with more ambiguous angles, saved them and sent them to Li Jingshen.
It was purely a coincidence that he met Shen Zhichu today. He didn't expect to have such a big gain. He wanted to see how Li Jingshen would react when he received these photos.
Could he really not mind at all and believe what Shen Zhichu said? Was there no barrier in his heart?
When Lu Tingchuan saw the other party receiving the text message, he sneered, his eyes shrewd and clear, and put the phone into his shirt.
…….
At this time, Li Jingshen was handling work in the group president's office. Because of the phone call he had just made to Shen Zhichu, he was feeling guilty and uncomfortable.
He couldn't read a single word on the computer screen. His temples were throbbing with pain. He sat on a leather chair, supporting his head with his left hand and holding an unfinished cigarette in his right hand.
The phone on the desk suddenly vibrated, and Li Jingshen tilted his head slightly to look over.
When he saw the name on the text message, his deep black eyes became even darker, looking gloomy and without a trace of warmth.
He opened the text message, and when he saw the photo inside, every cell in his body seemed to be ignited.
There are five photos in total, and the people in the photos are Lu Tingchuan and Shen Zhichu.
Judging from their intimate actions in the photos, they seemed to be a loving couple. In the hospital, the man leaned on Shen Zhichu's shoulder, and in the western restaurant, the two of them sat at the couple's table. There were also photos of Shen Zhichu and Li Jingshen on vx.
In addition to anger, Li Jingshen's eyes were filled with indescribable complexity, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Is this what Shen Zhichu meant by watching a movie alone? Eating alone?
He really couldn't imagine that even though Shen Zhichu had lost his memory and his brain had become dull, he could still lie so flexibly!
What he could not have imagined was that Lu Tingchuan would be with Shen Zhichu.
A fierce look flashed in Li Jingshen's eyes. He grabbed the phone and smashed it against the wall. The phone fell to the ground and the screen was smashed to pieces.
He pushed the chair behind him and walked out the door. Just at this moment, Zhao Qian came over with documents. Seeing Li Jingshen's gloomy face, he subconsciously stopped.
"Boss Li, where are you going?"
"go back."
"But there's an important meeting this afternoon..."
"Pushed it." He wanted to go back and question Shen Zhichu why she lied to him. She knew very well that what he hated most was deception.
Li Jingshen paused, and just when Zhao Qian thought he had changed his mind and wanted to continue working, Li Jingshen picked up the phone with a broken screen on the ground.
"Go to a cell phone store and pick out a cell phone. Have it delivered to my office tomorrow morning."
"...Okay." Zhao Qian secretly glanced at the phone that Li Jingshen was holding. It was broken into pieces like this. You can imagine how angry he was.
Although Li Jingshen is strict at work, he never gets angry. This is obviously because of family matters.
Zhao Qian thought of Shen Zhichu.
As soon as Li Jingshen left, Zhao Qian had no choice but to postpone the meeting and reschedule it.
…….
Shen Zhichu stood at the entrance of the shopping mall to take shelter from the rain and hail a taxi. A cold wind mixed with drizzle blew, and Shen Zhichu trembled. She held the cake in her hand firmly.
Sweets can make people happy. I just hope Li Jingshen won’t be too angry after eating the cake.
Shen Zhichu wanted to go directly to Li's to find Li Jingshen, but she didn't know where Li Jingshen worked.
After hesitating for a moment, she anxiously called Li Jingshen.
The call was connected, and after a few seconds of waiting, the other party answered the call.
"A Shen, I brought a cake. Where is your company? I'll come find you."
"No need, go home and wait for me." After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Shen Zhichu to answer.
Shen Zhichu stood there in a daze, the cold wind kept blowing towards her, but she didn't feel cold, because the part of her heart was much colder than her skin.
There was a sour pain in his heart. Shen Zhichu gritted his teeth, and his eyes turned red because of the grievance.
She had originally been confident that Li Jingshen would trust her and respect her, but now his attitude had changed, leaving her unsure of his intentions. She felt caught off guard. In a game of ever-changing circumstances, momentum always waxes and wanes, and people always feel hesitant and timid in the face of uncertainty.
Chen Zhichu exhaled a breath of foul air, and her heart felt heavy as if a stone was placed in it, always making her feel chest tightness and discomfort.
The taxi stopped at the door. Shen Zhichu checked the license plate number and walked out of the mall, carefully holding the cake in his arms.
The distance from here to home is very short, and it only takes a few minutes to get there by taxi.
Butler Li stood at the door holding a teacup and looking into the distance. When he saw Shen Zhichu coming back, his eyes lit up: "Madam, you are back. Have you taken your medicine?"
"have eaten."
The housekeeper looked at her red, frozen fingers and hurried over. "Madam, what are you holding in your hand?" He stretched out his hand and said, "Let me help you get it. You can go back and take a hot bath."
Housekeeper Li is old enough to be her father, and everyone in this room is very kind to her. Since Shen Zhichu has no relatives, she treats them as her own.
Looking at the gentle smile on Butler Li's face, Shen Zhichu felt less cold. She shook her head: "Uncle Li, I can lift it myself."
"Oh well."
Shen Zhichu brought the cake back to the bedroom and placed it on the bedside table.
She didn't take a shower, but just wiped her wet hair with a clean towel and then changed into pajamas.
People with cancer are very weak and cannot withstand wind, rain, or cold. In addition, not long after she took the medicine, her head became dizzy and she couldn't help wanting to sleep.
I was free now, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. I could hear nothing except the sound of rain outside.
Chen Zhichu sat on the edge of the bed, lowering her eyes to look at the dark carpet on the ground. She took off her shoes and stepped on it barefoot. The soft touch made her nerves relax a little.
Shen Zhichu tilted his head and was distracted for a moment, then got into bed, covered himself with the quilt and flipped through his phone.
No one called her or texted her. She looked at the time. It was two o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Jingshen got home from get off work at six o'clock. After Shen Zhichu confirmed that his phone was not on silent mode, he set an alarm for four o'clock.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a luxury car drove into the villa and parked in the parking lot outside the door.
Li Jingshen pushed open the car door and walked out. He pursed his lips tightly, his face gloomy and angry, and his dark eyes seemed to be filled with a snowstorm that was about to erupt.
