Chapter 40 A pile of waste
There was something like a "decorative painting" placed on a pile of waste. Li Jingshen went over and turned the painting over, and was stunned when he saw it.
That's not a decorative painting, it's clearly his and Shen Zhichu's wedding photo.
He had some impression of this wedding photo, but he remembered that he had broken it and asked Shen Zhichu to take it out and throw it away. How come it appeared here intact now?
Did she secretly frame it and hide it later? If she'd kept it hidden for four years, why was it now thrown in with the trash?
Li Jingshen couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. During this period of time, he had been denying Shen Zhichu's changing feelings for him, but now seeing this abandoned marriage certificate, he had to admit that Shen Zhichu had really given up her feelings for him.
In the past, he always scolded Shen Zhichu for being cheap, and he was confident that Shen Zhichu would be cheap for the rest of her life. He never thought that Shen Zhichu would not love him one day. This day really came unexpectedly.
Li Jingshen gripped the photo frame tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white.
As soon as Shen Zhichu came out, she saw him standing in front of the pile of waste. When she got closer, she could see clearly what Li Jingshen was holding in his hand. It was their wedding photo.
Shen Zhichu said: "I couldn't bear to throw it away before, but now I'm moving and have no place to put it. I'm really tired of looking at things like this that are just for show and bring back bad memories."
"So you're going to throw it away now?" Li Jingshen's already sinister eyes became even colder. It was as if there were two drops of ink in his obsidian pupils, so deep that it was unfathomable.
"Wouldn't it be annoying if I just left it here instead of throwing it away? Don't you like it too?"
Don't you like it either? Yes, he doesn't like it. He doesn't like Shen Zhichu and doesn't like this wedding photo. Just like Shen Zhichu said, it will bring back a lot of bad memories for him. Things that should have been thrown away in the first place should not be kept now.
The two of them confronted each other silently, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Fortunately, there was a knock on the door at this time.
Chen Zhichu went to open the door, and this time it was a scrap collector who came, holding a hemp rope and pulling a trailer.
"Girl, where are the scraps you don't want?"
"It's inside, uncle, please go in first." Chen Zhichu stood aside to make room for the uncle to pull the cart in.
"Let me help you get the rope."
The old man waved his hand and said, "No need. I can do it alone. Just don't mind that I'm dirty."
Everyone who lived here was rich, and he was not clean when he collected scrap. Every time he went to collect waste, he would be met with contemptuous looks. But this time, there was no such thing. The little girl was beautiful and kind, and was very polite to him.
Shen Zhichu invited him in and poured him a cup of warm water. After drinking the water, the old man started to work. Looking at the pile of waste, his eyes lit up slightly. This was worth a lot of money.
"Don't you want these?" the old man asked the man in front of him.
Li Jingshen's expression was slightly cold, and he didn't reply. Shen Zhichu on the side replied: "Well, that's all for now. I'll call you after I move."
The old man replied "OK" and sorted the waste one by one. When he was about to pick up the wedding photos, Li Jingshen, who had been standing aside without saying a word, suddenly spoke.
"Leave the wedding photos."
Shen Zhichu, who was helping to sort out the waste, looked up at Li Jingshen. Li Jingshen felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by her. There was no reason to take back what he had said. Even he himself didn't know why he kept the photo, but now he had to find a reason.
"We haven't divorced yet, and we don't even have a wedding photo at home."
Shen Zhichu directly interrupted his excuse: "It didn't happen before, but it worked out just fine, didn't it?"
Li Jingshen's face turned cold: "Chen Zhichu, do you need me to remind you of what I said to you in the hospital?"
Shen Zhichu had a faint smile on her face. She bent down, picked up the wedding photo on the ground, and carefully placed it on the coffee table.
She remembered everything Li Jingshen said, and remembered it very clearly. He asked her to be obedient. Okay, then she would be obedient.
The old man quickly packed up the waste and pulled it out in carts. Shen Zhichu took the broom and swept the floor, bending over. She was wearing a loose T-shirt today, and when she bent over, the collar fell down, revealing two protruding collarbones.
It seemed that her body had not recovered yet. After a while, a layer of sweat appeared on her face.
