Chapter 608 You Go Accompany Li Jingshen Tonight
Shen Qing was flattered, but she quickly calmed down and was not overwhelmed by the surprise.
She shook her head: "No, I'll stand and wait for you to finish eating before I eat."
"Come over when I tell you to." Lu Tingchuan's tone became heavier.
For someone like Shen Qing, it's really a waste of good temper to use it on her.
Shen Qing went over obediently, not daring to get too close to Lu Tingchuan, and could only sit at a distance to his side.
"Eat it."
Shen Qing eats very slowly. Most of the time, she will wait for Lu Tingchuan to finish his meal before she eats what he has left. Food will get cold if left for too long. Shen Qing is a frugal person. As long as it can be eaten, it is fine. She doesn't want to waste electric heating equipment.
She had long been accustomed to this lifestyle, because she had lived like this in the mountain village for more than ten years, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After dinner, Shen Qingyi saw Lu Tingchuan put down his chopsticks, so she quickly put them down too.
Lu Tingchuan glanced at her and asked, "Are you full after eating so little?"
"Eat...I'm full."
"Eat every meal well. Your body is your own. There was a person who developed stomach cancer because he was often hungry."
There was someone before? Who was that person? Shen Qing didn't dare to ask more.
"I'll go wash the dishes."
"Wait." Lu Tingchuan stopped her, "Sit down first. I want to tell you something."
Shen Qing didn't know what Lu Tingchuan wanted to say to her. She had never been able to guess what he was thinking, but after being together for so long, his expression at this moment told her that it was definitely not a good thing.
Her heart couldn't help but beat faster. Shen Qing sat down tremblingly, her hands on her legs, waiting for Lu Tingchuan's words.
"You're going somewhere tonight."
"Where?"
"International Hotel Room 4503, someone will deliver the room card later. A man named Li Jingshen is staying there tonight. You will be with him for the night."
Shen Qing's pupils suddenly shrank, and she was in a daze. She watched Lu Tingchuan's mouth opening and closing. She could clearly hear his voice, every word, but when they were put together, it was so confusing.
Lu Tingchuan wanted her to accompany another man tonight? Why?
As if he had guessed the question in her mind, Lu Tingchuan said, "I trained you to be Shen Zhichu's substitute in order to contain Li Jingshen. Otherwise, why do you think I went to so much trouble to keep you by my side?"
He easily tore apart all her fantasies of the past few days and made her see the bloody reality. She knew that she was a substitute, but the substitute she thought of was the person Lu Tingchuan liked.
She is very mean. Shen Qing knows that she is very mean, has no ambition, and is a disgrace to humanity. Obviously, the other party humiliates her and hurts her, but she still likes him so shamelessly and even thinks about him.
A substitute...even if it's just a substitute...
She didn't want to be a stand-in, but she couldn't help herself. Lu Tingchuan coaxed her with a white dress. She was just so useless.
Tears welled up in Shen Qing's eyes as she tried hard to breathe, like a fish thrown ashore, severely lacking oxygen and trying to breathe through her mouth. She couldn't cry anymore. She was already so useless, she couldn't... couldn't embarrass herself again.
"Is it okay not to go?"
"No." Wei Liao added, "I have plenty of ways to make you appear in that hotel. Will you listen?"
She was obedient again. She practiced the piano obediently, did housework obediently, put on makeup like Shen Zhichu obediently, wore those red dresses she didn't like obediently, and was so obedient as a qualified substitute, but he... still didn't want her. So the meaning of being obedient was to be abandoned by her again and again, right?
"Remember the contract we signed? You must listen to me."
At that moment, Shen Qing's fate was determined. Only she was stupid enough not to know that she sold her life for a little money.
Lu Tingchuan's serious tone and calm intonation told her that he was not here to play, and no matter how she resisted, she would be sent to another man's bed.
Shen Qing felt disgusted with herself for the first time. There was no point in crying. People who didn't care about you would only get more and more annoyed when they saw your tears.
"Okay, I'll go. What time will it be tonight?" Lu Tingchuan didn't expect that she would accept her fate so quickly.
Lu Tingchuan said, "A driver will come to pick you up at 8 o'clock. You just need to put on makeup like Shen Zhichu and imitate her expressions."
"I understand." After a moment of silence, Shen Qing took out his phone and searched for Li Jingshen's name. The man's resume popped up. He looked as good as Lu Tingchuan, but he was a bit colder than Lu Tingchuan. Just through the photo, one could feel the alienated aura.
The most obvious thing in the information is that, apart from the industries under his control, the richest man in Chengdu, what also attracts attention is the column at the bottom, which is marked in enlarged red font.
——Deceased wife: Shen Zhichu, only beloved, never married.
It turns out that Shen Zhichu is this man's wife. Shen Qing's eyes became more and more sore. She didn't know whether she envied Shen Zhichu for having this relationship, or felt sorry for herself. As her substitute, she couldn't even get that one ten-millionth of her goodness.
Shen Qing suddenly laughed out loud, and the smile he forced out was uglier than crying.
Inexplicably, Lu Tingchuan didn't like her laughter like that. He frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"I didn't expect Mr. Lu to want to accompany a man like this. I'm not at a disadvantage at all. He's rich and handsome. I'm taking advantage of him. If he wants me, I will definitely thank you."
"Bang!" Lu Tingchuan slammed the table and stood up, looking at Shen Qing fiercely.
If it were the old Shen Qing, she would have been scared by him halfway, but now her heart was dead, what could she use to scare him? She was still laughing, laughing so hard that her stomach hurt and tears streamed down her face. She raised her head and looked at Lu Tingchuan, tilted her head and asked curiously.
"Mr. Lu, are you angry?" What are you angry about? Didn't you want to send me out? What right do you have to be angry?
Lu Tingchuan looked into Shen Qing's misty, lightless eyes. His anger suddenly dissipated, turning into a hint of panic. He was so panicked that he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his heart, but he couldn't do it... A voice in his heart stopped him. He could only clench his fists and grit his teeth and said, "Just know that I'm doing this for your own good."
He kicked the chair next to him, knocking it over, took two steps, and then paused: "I won't be back at noon, so you don't have to make my lunch. Someone will notify you in the evening."
I don’t have to make your lunch... No... I mean you won’t be able to eat the food I cook from now on.
Shen Qing had been sitting in her original position. When she saw Lu Tingchuan go out and heard the sound of a car engine outside, she knew that he was gone. Only then did Shen Qing reach out and wipe away her tears.
Just leave him like this... It was a mistake in the first place. I can't still be obsessed with him just because he helped me in the restaurant, right?
