Chapter 536 Shen Zhichu I'm dying
"Weren't you the one who tampered with the bungee jumping machine in the amusement park, trying to accidentally harm Bai Qiujing? And the brakes failed. Li Jingshen, you really keep changing my perception of you!"
He had gone to great lengths to do all those things to force her to come here, and now he was pretending not to understand. Who was he trying to show this to?
Shen Zhichu let go of her hand and pinched Li Jingshen's neck. She felt disgusted by the touch of his flesh.
Shen Zhichu's grip on him wasn't very strong, but it did make it hard to breathe. As soon as she let go, a stream of cold air suddenly rushed into his throat and chest, and Li Jingshen suddenly started coughing.
For a moment, the only sound in the air was Li Jingshen's coughing, which was heavy and suppressed. Each cough was louder than the last, and he coughed up blood.
He coughed and shed tears at the same time, looking quite sad, as if he had coughed out all the pain at once.
Shen Zhichu didn't even need to do anything. Just a look that couldn't be colder than it was could make him lose everything.
It turned out that she came here today for Bai Qiujing.
That’s right.
After all, in Shen Zhichu's eyes, he has always been a person who uses despicable means. First, he caused the Bai family to go bankrupt, and now Bai Qiujing is in trouble because of him.
Li Jingshen clenched his palms tightly, not caring about life or death. Now he could only laugh at himself, so pitiful that he had to use laughter to warm himself.
Li Jingshen said with blood in his mouth: "Shen Zhichu, I'm dying."
Shen Zhichu lowered her head to look at the bloodstains on the ground. When she heard Li Jingshen say "I'm dying", she didn't move at all. It was obvious that she had known it for a long time.
"So if you're going to die, you're going to drag everyone else down with you, right? If you die, no one around you will have an easy life, right?"
When she was diagnosed with cancer, all she wanted was to escape from Li Jingshen. Since they were going to divorce anyway, it would be nice for her to spend her last days alone, and die a clean death.
But Li Jingshen just wanted to make her dirty. Even if he was going to die, he wanted to mess up her life.
Li Jingshen's eyes were red, blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth, and his heart seemed to be dripping as well: "Chen Zhichu, I want to be good to you."
Shen Zhichu frowned and cursed under heavy breath: "Fuck your mother!"
The veins on Shen Zhichu's forehead were throbbing as she thought about the text messages on her phone and everything Li Jingshen had done. She wanted to reach out and pull Li Jingshen up and beat him up, and she even wanted to take out the knife in her hand and stab him to death.
Unfortunately, everyone is now staring at the Bai family, her, and Li Jingshen. If she kills Li Jingshen here, it may become a hot topic soon, and the Bai family will be implicated.
There is a saying that goes, don't bother with a dying person, because if he goes crazy before he dies, you may die before him.
She really had no way to deal with Li Jingshen, and he was very capable, and could really torture people to death.
Li Jingshen didn't say anything.
Shen Zhichu lives a cleaner and clearer life than him, like water, and he is a fish that depends on water for survival. In order to live comfortably, he polluted the water, and now, the water that allowed him to survive is about to drown him.
This fish is about to be drowned.
He had thought of countless ways to keep Shen Zhichu by his side, and he had also thought about not repeating the same mistakes, but the funny thing was that in the end, what kept Shen Zhichu by his side for a short time was still the same as before: hatred, suspicion, and vigilance.
"Chen Zhichu, it seems like we have never really gotten along well with each other." Li Jingshen stood up shakily with the help of the escalator. He was much taller than Chen Zhichu. Even though his body leaned forward slightly due to illness, when he stood on the higher step of the stairs and looked at Chen Zhichu, he was still looking down at him.
"I'm dying, can you please take care of me..."
Shen Zhichu frowned: "It's the doctor who should take care of you, not me. Besides..." She raised her lips with a hint of sarcasm, "The Shen Zhichu who was willing to take care of you is dead. You know better than anyone how she died."
She had no expression, and her words had no tone, but they made people feel cold.
She also thought about having a good talk with Li Jingshen, but Li Jingshen challenged her limits again and again, making her lose the energy to talk to him.
After being with Li Jingshen for so many years, she was rarely happy and even forgot how to laugh.
"Li Jingshen, maybe you love me very much now, but love... is not worth mentioning compared to the hurt you once caused me. Your love is worthless and only makes me look cheap." Shen Zhichu stretched out his right hand, revealing the diamond ring on his ring finger.
"You always beg me to give you a chance to mend your ways, but I've clearly given it to you many times. You gave me a ring twice, once for thirty yuan and once for tens of millions. Both times were inappropriate. Haven't you ever thought about the reason?"
Buying an unsuitable ring and blaming others for having problems with their hands is what I'm talking about. This is what I'm talking about. It's people like Li Jingshen who are unrepentant.
Shen Zhichu continued, "You've tolerated me time and time again, forgiven me time and time again, and you've let me down time and time again. Now you're using such dirty tricks to force me here, and you still want me to take care of you. Am I your mother? Why should I take care of you?!"
Every word seemed heartbreaking, but Shen Zhichu said it in the calmest words. She could face Li Jingshen with a calm heart now because she had lost all hope in the past.
"Now that I'm here, what are you going to do? Do you still want to treat me like you did before?"
Li Jingshen: "If you think so, then so be it."
Anyway, Shen Zhichu had already regarded him as a villain who could achieve a goal without using any means, although this was indeed the case.
He had no idea why Shen Zhichu knew that he was sick and dying, and how he misunderstood that he wanted to kill Bai Qiujing.
He had only one thought in his mind: since this was the only way to make Shen Zhichu stay by her side for a short time, then let her misunderstand. She hated him anyway, and that hatred was neither more nor less. He could completely bear the ending he had.
Li Jingshen ignored Shen Zhichu's hateful gaze: "Just like you said, I am a dying man and I can do anything. You also know that I am ruthless. I might even take someone with me when I die. During the time I die, you are not allowed to go out here. You can only live under my nose."
He knew very well that this was the only way for Shen Zhichu to stay by his side. Although his stay would not be long, the more he could see her before he died, the better.
All he was doing now was just a last-ditch struggle, but Li Jingshen was a man who couldn't help but make a last-ditch struggle. He had walked into a dead end and couldn't get out.
Li Jingshen watched Shen Zhichu's hands moving inside his down jacket, and could vaguely see the shapes of the things inside: a cell phone, and another thing, the handle of a knife had already been exposed.
Shen Zhichu was capable of stabbing someone with a knife. Back then, she had stabbed his palm with a Western cooking tool.
At that time, her hands were still disabled and she couldn't even hold chopsticks properly, but she could hold a knife in both hands and stab it through his palm. Shen Zhichu was a timid person who was afraid of the dark, thunder, and a lot of blood, but she could stab him with a knife without blinking an eye.
In fact, he knew from that time that they would never be able to love each other like other lovers.
He is confident, but he still has self-awareness. However, when people are in extreme pain and know that something cannot be made up for no matter what, they will deceive themselves.
Shen Zhichu came here today with the hope of dying early and being reborn soon. She only understood 70% of what Li Jingshen said. The most despicable people are invincible, and she really had never seen anyone more despicable than Li Jingshen.
The blood on the corner of Li Jingshen's mouth had not been wiped clean yet, his eye sockets were sunken and he had heavy dark circles. He looked weak as if he was made of paper, as if he would break if someone pulled him lightly.
If Shen Zhichu really wanted to kill him, she could definitely do it, but she couldn't guarantee whether Li Jingshen had any backup plans, nor could she guarantee that she could escape legal responsibility.
Shen Zhichu really couldn't tell whether Li Jingshen's feelings for her were possessive or obsessive. If she really loved him deeply, she also liked someone, but not like him.
Up to this point, Shen Zhichu hadn't thought about trying to figure out what he was thinking.
…
Chen Zhichu settled down in Bancheng. She didn't feel unfamiliar when she returned to the place where she had lived for several years. However, she changed her room a bit. She didn't plan to live in the master bedroom that used to be the couple's wedding room.
There was a floor-to-ceiling window in the room. Shen Zhichu stood there looking at his own shadow, touching the ring on his hand and looking at the photos on his phone.
She turned her phone to Do Not Disturb mode for a simple reason: she didn't know what to say to Bai Qiujing when he called her.
She is like a turtle. When something happens, her self-protection instinct is triggered and she retreats into her shell.
