Chapter 115 Shen Qingshu Recorded
Tears streamed down Zhou Yuchu's face as she looked up at Zhou Qingze with a pitiful expression. "Brother, only you can help me now."
Zhou Qingze's Adam's apple bobbed as he stared into Zhou Yuchu's red, tear-filled eyes. "How do you want me to help you?"
“Chen Qingshu is fighting me for Siyan, and she’s even fighting me for my son…”
Zhou Yu's tone was initially weak and innocent, but the words he uttered were incredibly malicious.
"I know I can't beat her, but I'm really not reconciled. She stole the most important person in my life, so I'll make her taste my pain! I want everyone she cares about to leave her, and I want her to experience the feeling of being betrayed and abandoned by everyone!"
Zhou Qingze frowned. "The most important people around her right now are Qiao Xingjia and Wen Jingxi. Wen Jingxi has the backing of the country, and his family background cannot be ignored. We can't touch him."
After a pause, Zhou Qingze continued, "Qiao Xingjia has been getting close to Qin Yancheng lately. If I touch her, Qin Yancheng is determined to protect her, and I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."
“I know, I know this is difficult for you…” Zhou Yu stood up, knelt on the hospital bed, and slowly leaned closer with her soft body. “But, what if it was an accident?”
"What's the meaning?"
"I heard that our hospital has a medical team going to the mountainous areas for free clinics early next month. Isn't Qiao Xingjia on the list of participants?"
"The purpose of the free clinic is to enhance our hospital's image. If any medical staff members were to have an accident during the free clinic, it would be very detrimental to our hospital. Moreover, Qin Yancheng will also be participating in this free clinic."
"But recently, during the rainy season, the terrain in the mountains is treacherous. If there is heavy rain, isn't it normal for some accidents and casualties to occur?"
Zhou Yuchu moved closer to him, her tearful eyes looking so helpless. "Big brother, haven't you always wanted to make me happy?"
The woman's breath brushed against his neck as she spoke, and Zhou Qingze frowned, his Adam's apple bobbing. He took a step back, trying his best to control himself, "Xiao Chu, you don't have to be like this. I... I do want you to be happy, but I... I have no ulterior motives towards you."
Zhou Yu smiled, her soft body not completely pressed against him, but the two bodies were only a few millimeters apart.
“I know.” Zhou Yuchu smiled, her eyes alluring, like a fox spirit that sucks away a man’s yang energy. “But, my brother is doing this for my own good, always thinking of me. As a way of repaying him, I want to make him happy…”
The woman's fingertips slid across Zhou Qingze's chest, then down to his waistband.
Draw circles with your fingertips.
Zhou Qingze's breathing became heavy.
Crack-
The belt buckle was unbuckled.
Zhou Qingze's breath hitched.
Zhou Yuchu looked at him as he closed his eyes resignedly, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
...
Half an hour later, the ward door opened.
Zhou Qingze, dressed impeccably, came out and closed the door behind him.
He glanced around, his expression unchanged, though the lingering desire in his eyes had not completely dissipated.
A moment later, he walked away.
Inside the ward, Zhou Yu went to the bathroom and repeatedly washed his hands under the tap.
The sound of flowing water continued.
Zhou Yu raised his eyes and looked at the woman in the mirror.
The woman slightly curled her lips, her eyes filled with chilling murderous intent.
-
A week later, with the help of Sister Li, Shen Qingshu completed the repair of Mrs. Cheng's wedding dress.
When the wedding dress was delivered, Mr. and Mrs. Cheng were deeply moved to see it in perfect condition.
Mrs. Cheng held Shen Qingshu's hand and thanked her repeatedly.
"Miss Shen, it is truly rare and admirable that you have such a craftsman's heart at such a young age."
Shen Qingshu looked at the kind-faced Mrs. Cheng and smiled slightly, "Mrs. Cheng, you flatter me."
In the end, Shen Qingshu only accepted Li Jie's wages and the money for purchasing raw materials.
Mr. and Mrs. Cheng felt extremely bad about this.
Ke Chenqing insisted on not charging more money.
Mr. Cheng also felt that it would be a bit too offensive to insist on using money to measure the craftsman's achievements.
So Mr. Cheng gave Shen Qingshu a business card, a gold-embossed business card, a symbol of Mr. Cheng's distinguished status.
"Miss Shen, if you need anything in the future, just call this number, and I will agree to any conditions."
Mr. Cheng's gold-embossed business card is not something anyone can get their hands on.
Shen Qingshu accepted the business card with both hands and nodded solemnly, "Thank you for valuing it so much, Mr. Cheng. I will accept the business card."
Mr. Cheng nodded with satisfaction, "It's good that Miss Shen has accepted it. My wife and I are relieved."
Looking at the two elders in front of her, Shen Qingshu felt increasingly close to them.
At that time, none of them knew that one day in the future, this business card would become Shen Qingshu's life-saving key.
...
At five o'clock in the evening, Shen Qingshu was packing her things when her phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
She hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Miss Shen, it's me."
Shen Qingshu frowned. "Who is it?"
"Zhou Yuchu".
Shen Qingshu paused for a moment. "Is something the matter?"
“Let’s meet,” Zhou Yuchu said.
Shen Qingshu replied coldly, "Just talk on the phone if you need anything."
“It’s hard to explain in a few words over the phone.” Zhou Yuchu paused for a moment, then said, “I have a recording that I think you, Miss Shen, would find very interesting.”
"Is that so?" Shen Qingshu coldly curled the corners of her lips. "I'm not familiar with Actress Zhou, so how would she know what I'm interested in?"
"It's about Siyan!"
“Fu Siyan?” Shen Qingshu sneered. “I’m not interested in him at all.”
Zhou Yu seemed a little anxious. "Shen Qingshu, don't think you can rest easy just because Siyan doesn't want to divorce you! He's only staying for Siyu!"
"Oh." Shen Qingshu said indifferently, "I'm recording right now. I wonder if Zhou Yinghou's staunch fans are interested in this kind of gossip, that she's a mistress and still dares to harass me, her soon-to-be ex-wife?"
"You!..." Zhou Yuchu still had some idol image to maintain. She wanted to curse but couldn't. The next moment, the phone hung up.
Shen Qingshu saved the recording of the call.
She pressed record the call the moment she realized it was Zhou Yuchu calling.
Zhou Yuchu always liked to put on an act in front of her. Although it didn't cause her any harm, it felt like there were always flies buzzing around her, disturbing her peace and making her feel disgusted and annoyed.
Shen Qingshu used to think that staying away was the best approach, but now she realized that Zhou Yuchu had no self-awareness whatsoever. Simply tolerating and avoiding him would only embolden him.
Therefore, she will not tolerate it anymore.
However, she wouldn't deliberately try to fight Zhou Yu.
If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.
Shen Qingshu believes that Zhou Yuchu will eventually suffer a terrible backlash!
…
I have a dinner appointment with Qiao Xingjia tonight.
Before six o'clock, Qiao Xingjia's car arrived downstairs.
Wen Jingxi also came along.
Seeing Wen Jingxi sitting in the back seat, Shen Qingshu fastened the passenger seatbelt and turned to look at him, "Are you alright?"
"I'm being discharged from the hospital today!" Wen Jingxi proudly raised his chin. "Even Dr. Qin praised my amazing recovery!"
Shen Qingshu smiled and said, "Yes, youth is indeed a good thing."
"That's right!" Wen Jingxi asked impatiently, "What are we having for dinner tonight? I've been eating nothing but bland soup for almost half a month, tonight I'm going to have a good meat feast!"
"How about we go to that Cantonese restaurant we went to last time?" Qiao Xingjia suggested. "One of you just got discharged from the hospital, and the other is pregnant. The food there would be more suitable for you!"
Shen Qingshu smiled and said, "I'm fine with anything."
"I'll listen to A-Shu," Wen Jingxi said generously. "Our two goddaughters are the most important!"
Qiao Xingjia rolled her eyes at him through the rearview mirror, "What if they're all sons!"
"Pah, pah, pah!" Wen Jingxi exclaimed anxiously, "They must all be daughters! And they all look like A-Shu's daughters!"
Shen Qingshu and Qiao Xingjia exchanged a glance.
Qiao Xingjia suppressed a laugh and deliberately provoked Wen Jingxi, "If you really only have sons when you give birth to them, won't Teacher Wen, who's a doting father to his daughters, cry?"
"Qiao Xingjia!" Wen Jingxi instantly bristled, "Don't say such unlucky things!"
Qiao Xingjia and Shen Qingshu couldn't stop laughing.
Along the way, thanks to the presence of Wen Jingxi, a lively and cheerful person, the atmosphere inside the car was quite pleasant and relaxed.
Upon arrival, the three entered a private room, sat down, and ordered food.
It's not the weekend, so the food came out pretty quickly.
Wen Jingxi ate heartily, too busy to say a word.
It's clear that being hospitalized for half a month really made him crave food.
"I'm going to some remote mountain village to undergo my tribulation the day after tomorrow!" Qiao Xingjia sighed, biting her chopsticks, utterly despondent.
Shen Qingshu paused, then looked up at her, "Are you leaving the day after tomorrow too?"
"What do you mean, 'you also'?" Qiao Xingjia frowned. "Where are you going the day after tomorrow?"
“I’m going to Changsha. My teacher recommended me to participate in the filming of a cultural relics promotional video.” Shen Qingshu glanced at Wen Jingxi.
"I've heard about it." Wen Jingxi swallowed the beef jerky in his mouth and said, "This promotional video is even sponsored by the state, which is a good thing! Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things at the studio!"
Shen Qingshu was initially worried that Wen Jingxi would mind, but seeing his reaction, she knew she had overthought it.
"A promotional video made by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage? Does that mean you're going to be famous?" Qiao Xingjia looked at Shen Qingshu with starry eyes.
"It's not that exaggerated. It's just a promotional video. I'm not a celebrity, how could I become famous?"
"Your job is so much better!" Qiao Xingjia sighed. "Unlike me, sigh! Just thinking about going to some remote mountain village makes me lose my appetite!"
Shen Qingshu asked, "How many days will you be gone?"
"At least a week!" Qiao Xingjia picked up her teacup, took a sip, and put it down. "I really didn't want to go, but Zhou Qingze personally asked me to go, so I couldn't refuse! Fortunately, Dr. Qin is also going, so having an acquaintance to look after each other makes me feel less hopeless!"
"If Dr. Qin is going too, then I'll feel a little more at ease," Shen Qingshu said.
"Why do you say that?" Qiao Xingjia looked at her suspiciously. "Don't you have some unrealistic expectations of Qin Yancheng?"
Shen Qingshu gave her a meaningful look, and seeing that she had no idea that Qin Yancheng had feelings for her, she didn't say anything more.
When it comes to matters of the heart, it's best for the people involved to figure it out themselves.
Moreover, Qiao Xingjia is a staunch advocate of not getting married.
Shen Qingshu knew that Qiao Xingjia had no interest in dating. If she knew Qin Yancheng's thoughts, it might be a burden for Qiao Xingjia.
Therefore, it's best to let things take their natural course.
…
The rainy season has begun.
On the day of departure, it rained incessantly.
Shen Qingshu called Qiao Xingjia before boarding the plane.
Qiao Xingjia's group just boarded the bus, and they'll depart once everyone arrives.
Shen Qingshu reminded her, "The weather has been bad lately, so you must be careful in the mountains. Don't go out at night. You have a rash and impulsive personality, so even if you have to go out during the day, be sure to go with a colleague. Never go out alone, understand?"
"Okay, okay, you're even more nagging than my mom!" Qiao Xingjia said, both amused and exasperated. "I'm not saying anything more, the bus is about to leave."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingshu put away her phone and turned to walk towards the security checkpoint.
Suddenly, a thunderbolt ripped across the sky, and in an instant, the rain intensified.
Shen Qingshu paused, then turned to look outside the airport.
In the rain, the windshield wipers of the temporarily parked vehicles swung wildly as passengers hurriedly ran into the airport.
Shen Qingshu remained motionless for a long time; for some reason, her eyelids were twitching violently…
