Chapter 290: Death Comes While Engagement is Underway
What does it feel like when a person is overly emotional? Shen Zhichu slumped in her wheelchair, crying and laughing like a madman, her throat itchy and her stomach uncomfortable. She lay on the armrest of the wheelchair with her mouth open, mixed with salty tears on her face, laughing until she vomited.
She was born in an accident. Her mother risked her own life to give birth to her. Ever since she could remember, what she faced most was the disgusting and hateful looks from others, which reminded her all the time that she was carrying a life and that she should not have appeared in this world.
But... has anyone ever asked her if she is willing to stay in this world?
She hated herself more than anyone else. If she hadn't met Bai Qiu who carried her home at the amusement park more than ten years ago, she might not have lived this long.
Lu Tingchuan gave her two choices: one was to rescue her and let her stay with him, and the other was to die in an accident.
Shen Zhichu chose the second option without hesitation, but what kind of accident would she die in?
Chen Zhichu didn't know either. She had always been afraid of pain, but in the past twenty years, she seemed to have experienced the pain of several reincarnations.
Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder what other people were like at 26. Were they preparing for postgraduate studies? Or in love? Married? Or already had a healthy baby?
Anyway, I won't be like her, injured from beginning to end, her family destroyed, her hands and feet crippled, and she imprisoned in a wheelchair because of the person she loved wrongly.
I really hope that all kind people in this world can be rewarded, and not die early like her without ever truly having happiness.
In this world, there is only one pitiful person like her.
Shen Zhichu looked at the foggy sky. Cloudy days make people want to sleep. This winter, there will probably be no snow...
Chen Zhichu listened to the sound from the TV and took a nap with his eyes closed.
Mrs. Liu closed the bedroom door before leaving. The sound insulation was so good that she couldn't hear even the slightest movement outside.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Li Jingshen and Xia Mingyue appeared on TV. They were a perfect match. Li Jingshen was wearing a black suit. On the day of his engagement, his brows were furrowed, and he had a stern face facing the people who came to congratulate him.
On the other hand, Xia Mingyue, who was following him, had a beautiful smile on her face. She was wearing a high-end dress and a set of jewelry worth tens of millions. She was bright and dazzling. Xia Mingyue's figure could not compare to Shen Zhichu's in the past. If she had to say the most attractive thing about her, it would be her long legs.
Xia Mingyue was wearing a red fishtail skirt with a slit up to her thighs. Her legs were slender, long and fair. She held a red wine glass in one hand and naturally and intimately held Li Jingshen's right hand with the other hand. She leaned her head on Li Jingshen's shoulder and confidently greeted all the flashes.
This bright and confident look is very similar to the original Shen Zhichu.
"I didn't expect the mayor to come." Xia Mingyue's eyes were filled with excitement. She gently tugged at Li Jingshen's hand and asked, "Jingshen, will your grandfather come?"
Compared to the mayor, she was more looking forward to seeing Mr. Li. Mr. Li's status was much higher than the mayor. As long as he came, her position as Mrs. Li would be secure.
Li Jingshen didn't miss the greed in her eyes. He pulled his hand back in disgust. His throat tightened as he loosened his tie. "He won't come. Besides, you're an orphan left behind by a servant. Who would take you seriously?"
If you have high aspirations and want to enjoy something that does not belong to you, it also depends on whether you have the destiny to enjoy it.
Xia Mingyue's face was extremely ugly. Li Jingshen's words "an orphan left behind by a servant" were like a slap in her face. She felt ashamed and embarrassed. She had been with Li Jingshen for so many years and tried every means to wash away this stain, but now Li Jingshen turned it out and threw it in her face.
Xia Mingyue could hardly hold back the smile on her face: "Li Jingshen, do you hate me so much?"
"Hate?" Li Jingshen looked at her calmly, his eyes filled with sarcasm as if mocking her arrogance. "I don't need to hate you, I just feel a little disgusted and uncomfortable. It's like a fly in a bowl of rice. It's not disgusting if you don't see it, but it's disgusting when I find it after I put it in my mouth. And before that, I praised the rice for being delicious. Do you understand?"
Xia Mingyue gritted her teeth, she didn't want to understand at all!
The engagement party was going on as scheduled. Li Jingshen followed the procedure impatiently, looking at his watch from time to time, hoping that it would end quickly.
After being humiliated, Xia Mingyue took some time to recover, but the smile on her face looked forced.
At this time, a man walked in from outside. There were many people at the scene, and the sudden appearance of a person would not attract much attention.
But Xia Mingyue happened to see him, and the smile she had just maintained collapsed instantly. Her face turned pale and cold sweat broke out: How could it be him? Why did Lu Tingchuan come here!
The person Xia Mingyue feared the most was undoubtedly Lu Tingchuan. This man's methods were extremely perverted. As soon as she saw him, she felt pain in her legs.
Xia Mingyue didn't dare to make a sound and quietly hid beside Li Jingshen.
Li Jingshen noticed her abnormality, and his eyes randomly glanced in a certain direction and finally fell on one place. His hawk-like eyes burst out with a cold light.
Lu Tingchuan took a glass of red wine from the waiter and raised it to Li Jingshen from a distance, looking relaxed and contented.
Li Jingshen's eyes flickered and he ignored him.
It’s 11:30, and there’s still half an hour until the climax of the engagement banquet…
In a villa on a remote island dozens of kilometers away, thick smoke was billowing everywhere. Shen Zhichu was woken up by the smoke while taking a nap.
There was a sizzling sound outside the house. Shen Zhichu smelled gasoline mixed with the smell of gas. Her eyelashes trembled. She didn't expect that the way Lu Tingchuan arranged for her to die was to be burned to death by fire.
Her throat was already itchy, and now the smoke choked her and she couldn't stop coughing. There was an explosion outside the house, the ground shook, and the bedroom door was shaky and would collapse soon...
Shen Zhichu was no longer afraid of death, she even looked forward to this day, but a cat's cry disrupted her thoughts.
Nian Nian ran out from under the bed, running around and screaming in fear. Shen Zhichu's pupils shrank slightly, and his originally excited heart suddenly turned cold.
