Chapter 307 This life won't be too long.
Shen Qingshu glanced at her indifferently. In public, Shen Qingshu had never given Jiang Ruomi a kind look. "What? Are you disappointed?"
Jiang Ruomi also acted as if she was used to being rebuffed by Shen Qingshu, and even shamelessly insisted on getting closer to him.
"I'm happy for you, Qing Shu. You see, Jin Que treats you very well. Don't throw tantrums and upset him anymore. N country has polygamy, so let's get along well, okay?"
Shen Qingshu gave a cold laugh and walked to sit down in the seat furthest away from her.
Seeing this, Jiang Ruomi lowered her head in frustration, looking extremely aggrieved.
Wang Chunmei brought Shen Qingshu a bowl of bird's nest soup.
Jin Que said, "The toxins in your body have been mostly cleared out. Next, you should eat some nourishing foods."
Shen Qingshu sneered, "What's the use of any good treatment? What if you decide to poison me one day if you're unhappy? Jin Que, are you satisfied with me as your guinea pig?"
Jin Que choked, his expression darkening slightly.
Seeing this, Jiang Ruomi quickly said, "Qingshu, don't say that about Jin Que. He still loves you very much."
Shen Qingshu gave a cold laugh, picked up the soup spoon, and lowered her head to drink the bird's nest soup.
Jiang Ruomi looked at Jin Que, "Don't blame Qing Shu, she didn't mean it..."
“You don’t need to worry about our affairs from now on.” Jin Que looked at her. “Your task is to take good care of yourself and the child in your belly.”
Jiang Ruomi pursed her lips and nodded.
Because of the tense atmosphere, none of the three ate much at breakfast.
After finishing her bowl of bird's nest soup, Shen Qingshu went upstairs first.
After she went upstairs, Jin Que also went out.
Jiang Ruomi was the only one who slowly finished her breakfast.
It was half an hour later when we finished breakfast.
Jiang Ruomi wiped her mouth, touched her stomach, stood up, covered her mouth, and yawned. "I'm a little sleepy, Aunt Wang. You tidy up, I'm going back to my room to catch up on some sleep."
Wang Chunmei: "Okay!"
Upon reaching the second floor, Jiang Ruomi did not return to her room.
She went to the small sunroom outside.
Shen Qingshu was waiting for her here.
"Sister Qingshu," Jiang Ruomi called softly.
Shen Qingshu turned around.
The two locked eyes.
"Ruomi, I promise Jin Que I'll hold a wedding."
Jiang Ruomi was taken aback. "Are you really sure?"
"Hmm." Shen Qingshu looked at her. "I misunderstood you before, and I want to apologize to you."
“There’s no misunderstanding.” Jiang Ruomi smiled bitterly. “I really like Jin Que.”
“You like him, but you know his position is wrong.” Shen Qingshu walked over and took her hand. “Ruomi, you are very brave. I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I hope you remember that no matter what, try your best to protect yourself and live.”
Jiang Ruomi sensed something was amiss.
"Qingshu, what do you mean by that?"
"It's nothing." Shen Qingshu smiled lightly, "I just feel that Jin Que's thoughts are hard to fathom. I'm afraid that one day he might suddenly go crazy and do something extreme to hurt you."
“At least until this child is born, he won’t touch me.” Jiang Ruomi lowered her head and stroked her slightly protruding belly. “Sister Qingshu, do you know? He’s going to move.”
Shen Qingshu lowered her eyes and stared at her stomach.
She is also a mother and has experienced these things.
Because she had been through it all, she couldn't persuade Jiang Ruomi to give up the child.
Besides, the child is already formed.
It is already a living, breathing life.
"Sister Qingshu, can I tell you a story?"
Shen Qingshu looked at Jiang Ruomi and could roughly guess what she was going to say.
She walked over and sat down on a woven wooden chair.
"You speak, I'm listening."
Jiang Ruomi, supporting her pregnant belly, walked to the window, gazing at the scenery outside. Her voice rang out softly and slowly—
"Twenty-four years ago, the fifth child was born to a family in a slum in the port city. The father had hoped for a son, but it was still a daughter. The mother was disliked by the father because of this. Three of the girl's four older sisters were sold by the father, and the other died at the age of 14 because she couldn't afford medical treatment. The girl's mother didn't want her youngest daughter to suffer the same fate as her sisters. She risked being beaten to death to save up some money and sent the girl away when she turned 18..."
"Later, this girl entered the entertainment industry, starting as an extra and working her way up to a small degree of fame, becoming a big star and winning awards. The girl was finally able to bring her mother out of that slum. However, after learning that the girl had become famous, her father attempted to blackmail her."
He called the girl and threatened to kill her mother if she didn't return the 50 million. The girl's mother, not wanting to implicate her daughter, committed suicide.
Shen Qingshu suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Ruomi.
Jiang Ruomi turned around and met Shen Qingshu's gaze; her eyes were red.
"Sister Qingshu, my father favored sons over daughters. Actually, my mother gave birth to a son for him, but he was addicted to gambling. The boy was only three years old when he took him to the casino. Because he was so focused on gambling, the boy ran away. The casino was right next to the pier, and the boy fell into the sea and drowned. When the fishermen pulled him out, he was already dead. But the most ridiculous thing is that, even though he was the one who didn't take good care of his son, he had a fortune teller tell him that my mother's birth chart was incompatible with the boy's. From then on, he used this as an excuse to abuse my mother..."
Shen Qingshu frowned as she looked at her, her eyes also showing reluctance.
Jiang Ruomi smiled and said, "But he's dead. Jin Que's men killed him for me."
Shen Qingshu was taken aback.
“So I don’t hate Jin Que.” Jiang Ruomi said with a smile, “I don’t care whether he loves me or not. He wants a child, so I will have one for him. I know he’s not a good person, but at least in my life, he was a good person once.”
“Everyone has their own choices and stance.” Shen Qingshu looked at her seriously. “As long as you know what you’re doing, that’s enough.”
"And what about you, Qing Shu?"
Shen Qingshu frowned. "What's wrong with me?"
"What brings you back this time?"
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and stared intently at Jiang Ruomi.
The two stared at each other, and a deathly silence fell over the surroundings.
After a long pause, Shen Qingshu said, "I came back because I've accepted my fate."
Jiang Ruomi frowned. "Resign yourself to your fate? You mean, you plan to stay by Jin Que's side for the rest of your life?"
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and remained silent.
Her silence was the answer.
However, her life is not going to be very long.
