Chapter 537 Li Jingshen is rarely humble
It was getting dark outside, and Shen Zhichu stood in front of the French window on the second floor, looking out at the road leading to the gate.
How is Bai Qiujing now? She drugged him, so he might still be asleep at this moment, or he might have discovered that she was gone.
Would he be angry when she left without saying goodbye? Had he signed the divorce agreement on the bedside table, or had he torn it up?
Shen Zhichu suddenly found it difficult to stand steadily. Her legs went soft and she squatted on the ground by the window. She curled up on the ground like an abandoned puppy. It was obviously her own choice to leave, but at this time she looked so pitiful.
In winter, the birds in the south do not come out. Occasionally, a few turtledoves fly down from the trees and land on the ground. After a short stay, they fly back to a tree where they are safe enough.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jingshen came to call Shen Zhichu downstairs to eat. He was wearing an apron, and facing Shen Zhichu's expressionless and extremely indifferent face, he still kept smiling.
"Go downstairs to eat."
Shen Zhichu looked up at him, and the more he looked at Li Jingshen's face, the more fake it became, to the point of making him sick.
"Now that I'm here, can you please let the Bai family go and return the funds you stole from them? And Bai Qiujing...if you dare to hurt him, I will definitely die before you."
Li Jingshen was a dying man, so it was useless to ask him to pay with his life. To Li Jingshen, Shen Zhichu was more important than his life.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Zhichu finished speaking, Li Jingshen's face stiffened briefly, then he chuckled lightly, his eyes a little dazed.
"Don't worry, I've already stopped my actions with the Bai family. Things will be back to normal in less than a month. I'll also make up for the losses. After all, you can't take the money with you after I die."
Even though he knew that he couldn't take anything with him when he died, he still insisted on tying up Shen Zhichu before he died.
Shen Zhichu sneered: "I hope you keep your word."
Li Jingshen raised his hand and glanced at his watch: "Let's go downstairs and eat. You haven't had lunch yet. If you're too hungry, you'll easily get stomach problems."
Shen Zhichu followed him downstairs and glanced at the table. Surprisingly, all of them were her favorite dishes, and the aroma was overflowing.
It is really unexpected that Li Jingshen can cook and make such a finished product.
Shen Zhichu sat on the chair, picked up the bowl of rice in front of her and started to eat. It was impossible for her to be hungry. She had suffered from stomach problems, and there was only a small difference between stomach problems and stomach cancer. She knew how unbearable it was.
Even if she doesn't get a stomachache from hunger, she won't mistreat her body. Now she is in a tug-of-war with Li Jingshen. As long as Li Jingshen dies before her, she will win.
That being said, she just had no appetite. No matter how much the food was cooked to her taste, she would find it tasteless when she thought that it was cooked by Li Jingshen.
Li Jingshen sat aside and watched quietly as Shen Zhichu swallowed the white rice mouthful by mouthful, rarely picking up the dishes on the table, as if they were made just to please him.
Li Jingshen picked up some spicy and sour potato shreds and put them in her bowl: "Eat some vegetables."
Shen Zhichu paused while eating. She stared at the shredded potatoes in the bowl for a long time, then suddenly picked up the bowl and poured all the remaining food into the trash can.
"No more."
Li Jingshen also knew that his conscious action just now had made Shen Zhichu unhappy.
If it were the old Li Jingshen, he might have directly pushed Shen Zhichu's head into the bowl and let her eat it. He would not allow anyone to waste his "kindness". Even if it was poured into the trash can on the ground, someone had to pick it up and eat it.
But now, seeing Shen Zhichu's impatient face, Li Jingshen seemed at a loss and didn't know how to explain.
"I just saw that you didn't pick up any food, and I was worried that you wouldn't eat well." The impatience in his voice was clear.
"I won't serve you any more food. You didn't eat lunch. Eat more."
Shen Zhichu said in a harsh tone: “I am full just by seeing you. If you really want me to live well, you should stay away from me.”
Li Jingshen said, "This is the only thing I can't do. Shen Zhichu, whether you think I have ulterior motives or ill intentions, I did all this for you. I just don't want you to be let down or deceived again, just like the two-faced Qin family did back then."
Chen Zhichu said in a cold voice, "So, should I thank you? People's hearts can't stand the test. Without your scheme, they could have always been good to me. It's you who made me deserted by everyone."
Li Jingshen: "I admit that I designed it, but if it weren't for me, there would be others. There are many people who are more difficult to deal with than me."
Shen Zhichu frowned slightly, looking at Li Jingshen who was blushing and trying hard to "explain". This man was actually "modest" for a rare moment.
"Don't be so modest. I've lived for so many years, and I've never met anyone more difficult than you."
The sarcasm in Shen Zhichu's words was like the needle on a hedgehog piercing his heart, making him want someone to reach out and pull it out. In fact, if he thought about it carefully, it was indeed his selfishness that played the largest role.
But if I don't say this, it seems like there is no reason to keep Shen Zhichu.
Just like what your parents often say to you, “I’m doing this for your own good,” it seems like it’s for your own good, but in reality, in many cases they are just trying to better control you under the guise of doing what’s best for you.
