Chapter 351 Li Jingshen Almost Died Here
The driver's door opened, and Zhao Qian got out. He looked at Shen Zhichu with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a while, he called out, "Madam."
Shen Zhichu frowned: "Zhao Qian, Shen Zhichu died in the fire back then. Even if she hadn't been burned to death, she and Li Jingshen would have divorced long ago. She really can't bear the title of your wife."
Zhao Qian buried his head, somewhat afraid to meet Shen Zhichu's sharp gaze: "I'm sorry."
This apology was, firstly, a slip of the tongue at the moment, and secondly an apology for his indifference as a bystander back then.
"Ms. Shen, what I'm about to say might be a bit harsh, but I still want to say that I hope you can give Mr. Li another chance. He truly knows he's wrong. He's been living a life worse than death for the past three years since you left. Last night, he desperately tried to find the hair tie you casually threw into the river and nearly died in the water..."
Shen Zhichu snorted, "That's such a pity."
Shen Zhichu's words were somewhat sarcastic and gloomy. "If you think it's excessive, then don't say it out loud. The injury is not on you, so how can you not know how painful it is? What right do you, a bystander who handed the knife, have to persuade me to forgive him?" These people apologized, but they never softened their hands when it came to hurting others.
Zhao Qian's face was stiff. Shen Zhichu spoke objectively. He really had no stance, but he had witnessed how Li Jingshen had survived the past three years, so it was inevitable that he would feel soft-hearted.
People's hearts are unfair, and his position has been leaning towards Li Jingshen from the very beginning.
"Miss Shen, I know that no matter what I do, I can't make up for the injuries you suffered. Back then, you drugged Mr. Li and damaged his stomach. In the past few years, his stomach problems have been so severe that he often bleeds. I asked him to seek treatment, but he refused, saying that he wanted to experience all the pain you suffered."
"Do you remember that time when you stabbed his palm with the silver fork? He has a permanent scar on his left hand, and the nerves have been damaged, leaving him half-crippled."
"He also pulled out all the nails from his feet and left hand, just like you did. He burned the word 'Chu' (first) on his left chest with a cigarette and stabbed his legs every day. He truly endured every pain you've ever experienced."
"Miss Shen, you should know that Mr. Li lost both his parents when he was young. Do you know how they died? They died in a car accident while trying to protect him. He was in the car with his parents' bodies for nearly three hours right before his eyes. When he was rescued, he was soaked in blood. From then on, he became afraid of water and couldn't swim."
"Boss Li grew up in a dark environment. He didn't know how to love, nor did he dare to love. That year, when he fell into the water, you saved him. Although you were just a blurry figure, he remembered it for the rest of his life. If Xia Mingyue hadn't appeared as an impersonator, you wouldn't have ended up like this. But despite this...Boss Li still fell in love with you. He agreed to exchange you for Xia Mingyue in order to divert the kidnappers' attention. Boss Li has too many enemies around him, and this was the only way to divert their attention from you and put you in no longer a threat."
"You lost your memory for a reason. When you were rescued, you had a mental breakdown and only hypnosis could save your life. The abortion was because you had stomach cancer and needed medication. He was also very upset after losing the child. He cried countless times holding the child's ashes. I've never seen President Li like this before. He was so flattering to someone, abandoning his dignity and kneeling on the ground."
"Miss Chen, do you know what he said most often in the three years after your death? He asked when he would grow old. He always remembered the last phone call you made to him, asking him to live to old age, so he lived in such pain and self-mutilation." When Zhao Qian said this, his eyes were suspiciously red.
Shen Zhichu chuckled and said, "Zhao Qian, you said so much, but you forgot that I didn't kill Li Jingshen's parents, but my father's death and the injuries on my body are inextricably linked to him. I saved him, and even if he recognized the wrong person later, that's not a reason for him to hurt another person. I admit that I was also wrong. I was wrong for insisting on marrying him. I should have helped him and Xia Mingyue back then. A scumbag man and a scumbag woman should have been born to be together. It was my poor eyesight and bad hands that ruined this marriage."
"Mr. Li has never loved Xia Mingyue." Zhao Qian retorted subconsciously.
Chen Zhichu sneered, "Isn't this even more of a scumbag? He walks through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on him, loves no one, yet he's forcing two women to stay together, two-timing them. He's a scumbag, openly and clearly."
Zhao Qian remained silent: He seemed unable to refute.
"Miss Shen, I've told you so much just to tell you that President Li loves you. He kneels here because he has tasted all the pain you've suffered."
"So?" Shen Zhichu looked mocking.
Zhao Qian didn't expect that after he said so much, Shen Zhichu still had no extra reaction.
After a two-second pause, Shen Zhichu said, "Just because he knows he regrets it, I have to forgive him? Just because he loves me, I have to accept him? How can such a wish come true in the world? Zhao Qian, I see that you understand him, care about him, and feel sorry for him. Why don't you just be with him? I wish you a long and happy life together."
Zhao Qian was choking with a breath stuck in his throat, unable to move it up or down, and his expression looked a little ugly.
Shen Zhichu stared at him with amusement, the smile on the corner of his mouth was bright and eye-catching, the smile was gentle and generous, considerate and reasonable.
"Please do your duty as a bystander. If you still want to persuade me to forgive him, why don't you first destroy your family and your wife and children and see if that happens?"
Zhao Qian pursed his lips and looked at Shen Zhichu, not saying anything for a long time.
There is no empathy in this world. The so-called empathy is nothing more than watching the fire from the other side of the river.
Shen Zhichu gently placed the umbrella on her shoulder, raised her foot and left the spot, and said something as she passed by Zhao Qian.
"I've already paid back what I owed him, including the principal and interest, and he'll never be able to repay what he owes me. I want to see Nian Nian within three days. Also, since you know I'm back alive, please tell Li Jingshen to transfer the alimony after the divorce. No more, no less, exactly 800 million."
The car that Shen Zhichu called came over. She lifted the hem of her skirt and went up to shake off the rain as much as possible from the umbrella, then wrapped it in a plastic bag and held it.
The driver glanced in the rearview mirror and asked curiously, "What's going on? Why is there someone lying on the ground? I think I saw blood."
Shen Zhichu leaned back in the car seat, looking at the scenery outside the window with a faint gaze, and the corners of his lips lowered.
It's funny... She just treated him the same way Li Jingshen treated her in the past, but he couldn't stand it so quickly.
I remember that she had been hungry for four days, but she knelt for a full half hour.
There was wind and rain outside the car window, and the leaves were rustling.
…
Zhao Qian helped Li Jingshen up: "Boss Li, I tried my best."
Li Jingshen was obviously in so much pain that he was unconscious. He kept repeating the same words: "Chen Zhichu, don't leave..."
Blood was still flowing from his mouth. He leaned against Zhao Qian, his upper body twitching. His already pale face looked like a piece of old paper after being drenched by the rain, and his lips were bloodless. He looked so lifeless that if I hadn't been able to feel his faint breathing, I would have thought he had frozen to death here.
Zhao Qian carried his cold body, hurriedly put Li Jingshen into the car, and sent him to the city hospital.
The results of the examination were naturally very serious. Li Jingshen had been running a high fever since last night. He woke up before dawn this morning and the first thing he did was to ask where Shen Zhichu was. He wanted to find Shen Zhichu.
Fortunately, when leaving yesterday, Zhao Qian secretly sent someone to watch this part, so he knew it the first time Shen Zhichu left the house and got in the car.
Li Jingshen insisted on coming, so Zhao Qian had no choice but to take Li Jingshen to the cemetery with the car keys.
Without Li Jingshen's instructions, Zhao Qian just sat in the car and watched, watching Li Jingshen kneeling and kowtow in front of Shen Zhichu. The car was soundproof, so he couldn't hear the two of them talking, but he could roughly tell what the result would be by looking at Shen Zhichu's expression.
To Zhao Qian, Shen Zhichu was already dead, having died in the fire. Even if he came back to life, he would not be the same Shen Zhichu.
Everyone understands the truth, but unfortunately Li Jingshen doesn't.
Zhao Qian didn't expect that the blow from Shen Zhichu would be so great that Li Jingshen almost died here.
Li Jingshen not only had a high fever, but also had a perforated stomach, inflamed throat, damaged vocal cords, and even heart problems. He was sent to the emergency room as soon as he entered the hospital.
