Chapter 555 The Last Wish
At this time, Shen Zhichu realized that Li Jingshen really had cancer and was dying.
He lay on the bed, coughing with his mouth open. The white sheets were stained with blood. He was like a fish being chopping off a chopping board, powerless to struggle in the face of death. He could only open his mouth and rely on the last bit of oxygen to try to stay alive.
Shen Zhichu stood against the wall for a while, not knowing how long, but her feet were numb when the doctor came out.
One of the doctors kindly reminded him, "You can go in and see him, but be careful, he needs rest right now, so try not to disturb him."
Shen Zhichu went in and stood at the head of the bed, looking at Li Jingshen quietly.
What can you see in winter?
——Chen Zhichu, when you recover, I will take you to see the snow.
There is no snow in Chengdu.
——Then wait a little longer, go to the north to see the flowers, go to the south street to eat snacks, go to the east to visit the ancient city, and go to the south to see the sea, where you can see seagulls flying freely.
Li Jingshen's face looked very ugly, as white as a piece of paper. This was definitely not an exaggeration, he was really bloodless. The lights in the room were very bright, and the white light shone on his face with a transparent and fragile feeling. He seemed to be about to disappear. His lips were as red as lotus roots, and the drip was poured into his arm. She looked at his hand and knew it was very cold without touching it.
Li Jingshen woke up: "I still want to eat the meal you cooked today."
"You still want to eat? Aren't you afraid of death?"
“Afraid…” Li Jingshen smiled lightly, without opening his eyes, afraid to see Shen Zhichu’s cold and inhumane eyes.
He gently closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling, and a faint gleam of water appeared between the lashes. "But I'm dying soon, right? Since I'm going to die, I should eat more before I die. The more I eat, the more I'll remember the taste."
Shen Zhichu raised his eyes and looked out the window.
Li Jingshen suddenly asked: "What is it like when a person dies? Does it hurt?" What he actually wanted to ask was how much pain Shen Zhichu was in at that time, but he thought about it and realized that there was no point in asking. Apart from humiliating himself, he had no way of feeling the pain that Shen Zhichu was enduring at that time.
And...he was actually secretly afraid of the answer.
Shen Zhichu didn't think much about it. She answered whatever Li Jingshen asked, "It's painful before death, but consciousness will soon disappear. The last thing a person loses is hearing. Death is like a wisp of smoke, blown away by the wind. There is no resentment, no resentment, and no sadness. It's as peaceful as a breeze."
Li Jingshen pursed his lips and said nothing.
Shen Zhichu lowered her head again and saw the bare five fingers on his left hand, without nails. He had pulled them out after she died, and also saw the burns on his chest.
Shen Zhichu changed the subject and said, "I know that after I die, you tried to experience all the pain I suffered in my life, but it's really meaningless. It may be repayment for you, but repayment can only be called repayment if the other party truly receives it."
Li Jingshen didn't want to hear this.
He said, "After you died, I had a dream. I dreamed that you disappeared in a fire and said something to me. You said that since I was in the world, you would not come back."
"I do have such thoughts, but think about it, if I miss Bai Qiujing because of you, it will be a regret for my life, and I will be even more unwilling to do so. It will not be worth it."
Li Jingshen opened his eyes and stiffened for a moment.
"I'm thirsty."
Seeing that he was a patient, Shen Zhichu didn't bother with him and turned around to get him a glass of water to drink.
At noon, Chen Zhichu cooked some porridge, which was just enough for two people. It tasted light, but people who took too much medicine had thick tongue coating and could not taste anything at all.
There were still workers setting up the place outside. This time they brought a lot of roses and even laid a red carpet. Shen Zhichu was wondering if Li Jingshen had predicted the time of his death and was preparing for his death.
But shouldn't funerals be white? Why a red carpet? Even the flowers were red roses.
For some reason, Shen Zhichu suddenly remembered a video that was very popular some time ago.
——Black people carried the coffin.
Shen Zhichu asked, "Have you ever thought about how to arrange your funeral?"
Li Jingshen said with a bit of tiredness: "I'm already dead, so why would I bother to know what happens after death?"
"Where is Zhao Qian? Why don't I see Zhao Qian with you?" In Shen Zhichu's impression, Zhao Qian and Li Jingshen have always been together.
Zhao Qian has probably spent the longest time with Li Jingshen among all of them.
But she had been here for such a long time, and she hadn't seen him once. Could something have happened? Shen Zhichu couldn't think of it.
Li Jingshen replied, "I fired him."
Chen Zhichu laughed upon hearing this, and it was unclear whether the laughter was mocking or something else. "You can even fire Zhao Qian, so aren't you afraid that there will be no one to sweep your grave and trim the grass on your grave in the future?"
She had relatively little contact with Zhao Qian, and her only impression of him, apart from his work ability, was that he was loyal to Li Jingshen and would help him in everything regardless of his own values.
But it's not his fault. People have different perspectives on the environment, but they all try to survive better.
Shen Zhichu was too lazy to think about it. She was obviously used to Li Jingshen's various operations.
Looking at the people who were still busy setting up outside, Shen Zhichu asked: "What have you been doing these days? Why did you hire so many workers? Also, what's going on with the red carpet outside?"
Li Jingshen said: "Chen Zhichu, just know that I won't harm you."
Unable to hold back, Shen Zhichu sneered: “You said it as if you are not harming me now.”
After the words fell, both of them fell silent.
After a while, around five in the afternoon, an RV drove in and brought a wedding dress for Shen Zhichu to change into.
The wedding dress was designed by Li Jingshen before. After seeing it, what else did Shen Zhichu not understand? He was so angry that his scalp itched.
Although he had seen it on Li Jingshen's bucket list a long time ago, it was not until it was actually in front of him that he deeply felt the physical discomfort.
She finally understood what was going on with the layout outside. Li Jingshen had turned this place into a wedding venue.
"Li Jingshen, do you find it interesting to be like this?" Shen Zhichu rushed in angrily, only to see Li Jingshen propping himself up and leaning against the head of the bed, looking at her with dull eyes, like two puddles of stagnant water, not like a living person.
"I can cook, but I can't wear the wedding dress you gave me and put on the ring! Bai Qiujing and I are already legally married. We have the marriage certificate and the wedding rings. The only thing left is the wedding banquet. And now you're stepping in. He and I haven't divorced yet. Do you really like being the third party?"
Li Jingshen has been walking on the edge of the law for a long time, so he probably won't listen if you talk to him about whether second marriage is illegal.
Shen Zhichu directed all her shouting at Li Jingshen, but Li Jingshen just twitched his eyelashes slightly and pretended not to hear her roar.
But the next second, after seeing the tears overflowing from the corners of Shen Zhichu's eyes, his heart shrank suddenly.
He had clearly sworn in his heart that he would never let Shen Zhichu cry in front of him again, but he was the one who made her cry.
"Li Jingshen, can you please stop being so entangled and let me go?"
She was really tired. Before this, Shen Zhichu really didn't think so much. At most, she thought she was accompanying Li Jingshen to wait for death, but she never expected that Li Jingshen would be so ruthless. When the doctor said that he didn't have much time left, he still had the mind to prepare the wedding dress and decorate the wedding scene.
He wanted to die, so he tied her up with him.
What’s the difference between this and a ghost marriage?
In her previous life, she missed the person who truly loved her, ruined her life, and ended up in a miserable end. God finally gave her a chance to stand by Bai Qiujing with a clean record. She didn't want to have anything to do with Li Jingshen anymore.
Li Jingshen glanced at Shen Zhichu's red eyes, then turned his head and looked out the window: "Shen Zhichu, this is the last thing. If you satisfy me, I will agree to let you go. You can keep the ring or not. Just try on the wedding dress and show it to me. It won't kill you to wear a piece of clothing."
"I don't believe you."
Just five words, but the lethality is no less than a curse. This is the lesson Shen Zhichu learned, and it is also the seed of "doubt" that Li Jingshen cannot destroy in his entire life.
"Second marriage is illegal. I can't force you to get married. Besides, you know my body. I've really let it go."
Li Jingshen said the word "let go", but his eyes did not mean that.
Shen Zhichu didn't know whether he should believe him or not. Li Jingshen never kept his word when he said something nice.
Li Jingshen coughed a few times: "The computer in the study contains Li's secrets, the password is 0521. There are also some documents in the safe. If you take these things, I will no longer be able to do anything to you." He handed over the Li family's weaknesses just to make Shen Zhichu trust him.
Shen Zhichu calmed down at this moment. She went into the study, turned on the computer and found a lot of confidential information inside. Li Jingshen put them together and was not afraid of being stolen. If these documents were taken by someone with ulterior motives and sold to the rival family, the loss to the Li family would be huge. With the current situation of the Bai family and Shen Zhichu's [A. W Group], working together would be enough to move this mountain.
Shen Zhichu was stunned when she looked at the document. She really didn't expect Li Jingshen to hand over such a secret to her.
These were enough, and as for what was in the safe, Shen Zhichu didn't check it.
Shen Zhichu could just copy these and take them away, but she wasn't sure if Li Jingshen had any backup plans, such as planting a dark hand around Bai Qiujing and his family.
In addition to worrying about Bai Qiujing, Shen Zhichu was most worried about Bai's mother and Bai Wanwan. The two women were powerless, and it was not impossible for them to kidnap them if they really had the heart to do so.
Shen Zhichu walked out and asked, "Will you really let me go if I put on that wedding dress?"
"right."
"I want an exact time."
"Before tomorrow."
Li Jingshen's eyes didn't look like he was lying. Shen Zhichu walked out and closed the door of the room lightly. Li Jingshen knew that she agreed.
The makeup artist came over when she saw Shen Zhichu, “Miss Shen, Mr. Li asked us to put on your makeup and take a few photos. Do you have any ideas?”
"casual."
