Chapter 234 If Not Suitable, Separate
Li Jingshen vented his anger on Shen Zhichu with a heavy sense of punishment. He did not take any safety measures and only realized it afterwards.
Shen Zhichu had stomach cancer and could not get pregnant. He stood up, quickly packed his clothes and walked out of the room.
Shen Zhichu lay on the bed, her body heavy and difficult to move even a finger. She lay on her side and watched Li Jingshen leave the room. When he came back, he was holding a glass of water and a pill in his hand.
"have eaten."
Shen Zhichu felt cold all over when he looked at the medicine in his hand. What kind of medicine could he take afterwards?
It’s better this way. If I accidentally have a child, I won’t be able to leave even if I want to.
Li Jingshen stood beside the bed with a cold expression, looking down at her. Shen Zhichu took a breath, gathered her strength, raised her right hand tremblingly, took the pill and put it into her mouth.
Normally, she would need to drink half a cup of water before swallowing a pill, but now she chewed it up and swallowed it with her saliva, leaving her mouth filled with the bitter taste of the medicine.
She couldn't help but dry heave, tears welling up in her eyes. She quickly covered her lips and looked up at Li Jingshen.
Her mouth was bitter but her heart was even more bitter. After the stress reaction subsided, she said stubbornly, "Don't worry, I won't spit it out."
Hearing her words, Li Jingshen's eyes flashed. He pursed his lips, but ultimately said nothing.
The phone on the bedside table vibrated twice. Li Jingshen looked over in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Shen Zhichu's phone.
He picked it up and opened it, and a VX message popped up on the screen. It was undoubtedly sent by Lu Tingchuan.
Shen Zhichu also saw it, and she waited silently for Li Jingshen to speak.
Li Jingshen blocked and deleted Lu Tingchuan in front of her, then threw his phone on the bedside table and turned away.
Shen Zhichu looked at his indifferent back. She always suppressed her emotions, even if she cried, she cried silently. She opened her mouth to call him.
"Li Jingshen."
Li Jingshen stopped but didn't look back.
Shen Zhichu continued: "Do you love me?"
"I love you, and I will only love you in this life, so don't even think about leaving me." Letting Shen Zhichu go would be worse than letting him die if she saw him with someone else.
He didn't dare look back for fear of seeing Shen Zhichu's cold and determined eyes. He raised his foot and walked out of the room this time and never came back.
Shen Zhichu heard the sound of a car driving downstairs. She buried her face in the quilt, and her eyes were stained with hot tears, burning with pain.
After a long time, Shen Zhichu stood up and took out a set of clean pajamas from the closet and put them on.
She had no extra energy, so she changed her clothes and fell back on the bed, where she stayed until seven o'clock in the evening when Mrs. Zhang came upstairs to call her for dinner.
Looking at the torn pajamas on the floor and the cake on the carpet, Mrs. Zhang suddenly fell silent.
Knowing that Li Jingshen and Shen Zhichu were arguing, he originally wanted to come over and mediate, but Li Jingshen's expression was too scary.
Butler Li went upstairs to observe for a while, and when he saw that the two were just arguing and not fighting, he went downstairs. After all, he was just a servant and had no right to care about his employer's affairs, not to mention that couples would quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed.
After Li Jingshen left, the housekeeper arranged for Mrs. Zhang and the others to cook.
Knowing what had happened upstairs, the housekeeper asked Mrs. Zhang to go up and check the situation because it was not convenient for him to go up alone.
…………
When Mrs. Zhang entered the bedroom and saw this scene, her heart ached. After hesitating for a moment, she still went in.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
Shen Zhichu said nothing.
Mrs. Zhang walked forward and gently lifted the quilt. Seeing the wound on Shen Zhichu's neck, she felt distressed, but she didn't know how to comfort him. After a long while, she whispered, "Madam, it's time for dinner. Can you get up?"
Perhaps it was the cold wind that rushed in when she lifted the quilt. Shen Zhichu felt a little cold, and she shivered her shoulders and finally reacted.
She raised her eyes, misty: "I can't get up, I have no appetite, and I feel uncomfortable."
Mrs. Zhang's heart was in a knot: "You still have to eat. I'll bring it to you later."
Shen Zhichu didn't say anything. If she didn't eat, it would make things difficult for them when Li Jingshen asked about it.
Mrs. Zhang sighed, went downstairs and brought the food up. Knowing that Shen Zhichu had no strength, she sat by the bed and fed Shen Zhichu with a spoon in her hand.
"Madam, please eat something. Don't starve yourself."
When Shen Zhichu saw the food handed to her, she lost her appetite and even felt like vomiting.
She shook her head and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to eat. Can I skip dinner today?"
Mrs. Zhang paused and shook her head: "It's okay to eat less, but you can't not eat."
Shen Zhichu opened her mouth, chewed numbly and swallowed big mouthfuls. After eating half a bowl, she couldn't eat anymore.
Mrs. Zhang put down the bowl, wet a clean towel and wiped her face, then tucked in the quilt.
"Madam, Mr. Li loves you. Don't overthink it. He's just angry. Husbands and wives always quarrel. The key is how to continue living after the quarrel."
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Shen Zhichu's lips. "What if I can't make a living?"
Mrs. Zhang: "Then we can separate. You can never wrong yourself if you wrong others."
Shen Zhichu closed her eyes. How could separation be so easy? She had only just discovered today that Li Jingshen was a paranoid person. He was unwilling to let her go, and she, who had lost her memory, could not even resist.
"Mrs. Zhang, can I hug you?"
Shen Zhichu opened her eyes and without waiting for Mrs. Zhang's answer, she reached out and hugged Mrs. Zhang's waist and rubbed her head against her.
Mrs. Zhang's heart softened, and she sat down according to her strength, gently stroking her head with her hand.
"Mrs. Zhang, do you think I'm useless? I'm living a shameful life?" She could do nothing and could only survive by relying on Li Jingshen.
Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "It's not shameful. It's rare to find someone as sensible as you."
Shen Zhichu is almost the same age as her daughter, and here she always treats Shen Zhichu as a junior.
Shen Zhichu is a beautiful and kind person. She never looks down on people just because they are servants. Sometimes she even goes into the kitchen to help with cooking. Because of her amnesia, she is very careful in her actions and is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. She is only 24 years old, but she has a calmness that does not match her age.
Shen Zhichu leaned on Mrs. Zhang's legs and tilted her head to look at her. The orange light shone on her face. Her face was gentle, and the care in her eyes made her feel a little warm.
She wondered if her mother would be like Mrs. Zhang.
Li Jingshen and Zhao Qian said that she was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage without parents.
She was abandoned.
Mrs. Zhang saw that Shen Zhichu was staring at her and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Shen Zhichu shook his head: “I just wonder if my mother will be like you.”
Mrs. Zhang was stunned and hesitated to speak: Madam, you…"
When Li Jingshen hired them to work here, he told them about Shen Zhichu's amnesia, but no one knew the specific situation of Shen Zhichu.
Shen Zhichu pursed his lips and smiled faintly: "I am an orphan and have never seen my mother since I was a child."
