Chapter 29 Chapter 29 "No money? If you don't have money, why don't you sell it?" ...
Three years ago.
To celebrate the group's 20th anniversary, Shen Changhe had been attending a lot of social events recently, and inevitably drank too much. When the celebration was over, he began to have frequent headaches and had to go to the private hospital under the Chuanhe Group for a check-up.
The doctor said his blood pressure was alarmingly high and recommended immediate hospitalization. Shen Changhe was admitted to a single VIP ward.
When he first saw Xu Nian, he thought she was no more than thirty years old. Her face was very beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Even Shen Changhe, who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Xu Nian was a very professional nurse. Even though she had to go into the ward more than a dozen times a day, she never chatted with him. She always said the same few words:
“Mr. Shen, it’s time to take medicine.”
"Mr. Shen, let me take your temperature."
"Mr. Shen, please ring the bell when the infusion is finished."
At first, Shen Changhe thought this was fine. He had had enough of those people who flattered him deliberately with ulterior motives and tried their best to get close to him.
But later he felt that Xu Nian was not good enough. She seemed too cold to him, and she always had a very professional smile on her face.
So after a routine checkup, he stopped Xu Nian as she was about to leave and asked her about her situation: "Is Ms. Xu married?"
Xu Nian smiled and said, "My daughter is already fifteen years old."
He looked a little disappointed: "I can't tell."
Xu Nian didn't say anything else, but just said goodbye to him: "Goodbye, Mr. Shen."
He felt inexplicably irritated, and after finishing the infusion, he went to the public terrace to smoke. He happened to meet Xu Nian and his colleagues who came here to bask in the sun after dinner.
He heard a lively voice in the distance asking, "Sister Nian Nian, you're in a good mood lately, aren't you? You look radiant and more beautiful than ever. My heart flutters just looking at you!"
Xu Nian was amused by her exaggerated description and admitted frankly: "I am indeed in a good mood recently."
The man asked, "Why? What good news happened? Sister Nian Nian, did you get a promotion? A raise?"
Xu Nian smiled and said, "My husband passed away last month."
Shen Changhe was choked by the smoke and was about to cough. God knows how much effort he put in to hold back the cough, but his lungs were burning.
Fortunately, I can still continue eavesdropping.
The lively voice suddenly became cautious: "Sister Nian Nian, I'm sorry, I didn't know."
Xu Nian smiled: "What's there to be sorry about? I'm really happy."
He didn't expect Xu Nian to be so interesting. Thinking of his past marriage, he seemed to be in a good mood when his wife died.
Now one of them has lost his wife and the other has lost her husband, aren’t they a perfect match?
Shen Changhe asked for Xu Nian's shift schedule and found out that the next day was her off duty. That afternoon, while she was doing her ward rounds, he extended an invitation: "Miss Xu, are you free tomorrow? I'd like to treat you to a meal."
He always likes to be straightforward and does not make any excuses for his behavior.
Xu Nian gave an apologetic smile: "Sorry, I have an appointment tomorrow."
Shen Changhe didn't believe it and thought it was just an excuse to reject him. The next day, he sent someone to follow Xu Nian, but he didn't expect that she was really dating someone.
The other person was an internist in the same hospital. After dinner, the two went to the movies and did not return home until the evening.
Shen Changhe was very unhappy when he saw the photos, and sent the internist's personal information to the hospital's top management. Soon Xu Nian's date disappeared without a trace, and the two had no connection from then on.
But then Shen Changhe discovered that Xu Nian had also disappeared from his sight.
He checked the reason for Xu Nian's disappearance, but he didn't expect that she herself requested to change the ward in charge.
Xu Nian was extremely sensitive to potential threats around her, thanks to Yao Qihang's mood swings over the years. She vaguely sensed that Shen Changhe was a dangerous person, so she quickly moved away from him.
The nurse who replaced Xu Nian was a young nurse. Although she was pretty, she was very noisy. After completing her routine work, she refused to leave. She kept chattering and trying to get close to him, trying to create some physical contact.
Shen Changhe knew very well what she wanted. When he was young, he would occasionally be interested in such flings, and they both got what they wanted. But as he grew older, he was very tired of such fleeting relationships.
Soon the nurse also disappeared from the hospital, and Xu Nian was transferred back to Shen Changhe's ward. Seeing him, he was still as kind and gentle as ever, but Shen Changhe could clearly sense the alienation beneath that gentle mask.
Although he really didn't want to admit it, the fact was obvious. He had taken the initiative once, but he suffered a Waterloo.
This instead inspired Shen Changhe's fighting spirit. He sent people to investigate Xu Nian's past and learned that she had suffered domestic violence for a long time. The other party was a complete bastard who was notorious for eating, drinking, gambling and whoring.
Shen Changhe finally understood how happy her husband's death was for her, but it was also hard to imagine that someone could be willing to lay hands on Xu Nian. She was so weak and beautiful, Yao Qihang was really cruel.
Shen Changhe turned to the end and finally saw the cause of her husband's death. He was stabbed in the artery by a neighbor in the same building and died despite rescue efforts.
Shen Changhe suddenly had a somewhat terrifying guess: could it be that Xu Nian and her lover had murdered her husband?
But when he saw that the neighbor who committed the crime was only sixteen years old, his doubts were dispelled. Xu Nian would not be so desperate as to eat anything.
He also sent people to investigate Xu Nian's financial situation and found out that Yao Qihang had owed a large sum of money from gambling during his lifetime, and all the debts were transferred to her. Although Xu Nian's salary was more than 10,000 yuan, most of it was used to repay the interest, and she lived from hand to mouth every month.
Shen Changhe was not afraid that she didn't care about him, he was only afraid that she had no weaknesses.
Soon the debt collectors came to the hospital. They blocked Xu Nian on the terrace and forced her to pay back the money immediately.
Shen Changhe was watching the show not far away at the time. He heard Xu Nian's voice trembling as he said, "We agreed before that we would repay the loan in installments. I will pay you on time every month."
The leader sneered and said aggressively, "We're short on money lately. Find a way to pay back the money quickly, or we'll have to bother you every day."
Xu Nian was in a difficult situation. Yao Qihang had been squandering money and was heavily in debt over the years. His relatives knew Yao Qihang's habits very well and had long kept their distance from his family. How could they raise millions in such a short period of time?
Xu Nian could only plead with them: "Can you give me some time? I really don't have any money."
The debt collector suddenly became ferocious: "No money? If you don't have money, why don't you sell it? Don't you have a daughter? I heard she is as beautiful as you, I think she can also be sold for a good price."
Several people laughed obscenely, but Xu Nian was no longer weak. He stared at them fiercely and said, "If you dare to touch my daughter, I will never let you go."
They had heard this kind of threat hundreds and thousands of times, and it should have been of no concern to them. However, Xu Nian's eyes at that time were so terrifying, as if he would really fight them to the death if they dared to make a move.
The leader said embarrassedly: "If you don't want us to touch your daughter, then find a way to pay us back quickly. Don't exhaust our patience, or it will be too late to cry then." After saying that, he finally led his men away.
A moment later, Shen Changhe heard the suppressed sobbing. She stayed on the terrace for a long time before returning to the nursing department.
When Xu Nian came to check on her again, there was no emotion on her face. Even when Shen Changhe deliberately held her hand when the needle was removed, Xu Nian pulled it away without leaving a trace, but she still refused to bow to him.
This is so weird.
Shen Changhe sent someone to check again and found out that Xu Nian was preparing to sell the old house they lived in. Although the location was average and there was no elevator, the school nearby was very good and the agent had already brought several groups of people to view the house.
It turns out there is still hope.
Xu Nian originally thought that her house would be easy to sell, but she didn't expect that there was no good news from the agency. The debt collectors came to the hospital to block her every two or three days. Everyone in the hospital knew that Xu Nian owed a high-interest loan.
She knew the repercussions of this incident were extremely negative, and she lived on thin ice every day. Finally, she was called to the director's office, where the head of the nursing department said to her sternly, "Xu Nian, you're an old employee of this hospital. I don't want to sound harsh, but if you can't resolve your personal issues quickly, resign immediately."
This was the moment of despair. Xu Nian couldn't imagine how he would be able to pay off the remaining debt and support Xia Xia's schooling if he lost this job.
She was a very strong person, but under such great pressure, she finally couldn't help crying. Halfway through her tears, she received a call from a colleague who asked her, "Sister Nian Nian, where have you been? It's time to check on Mr. Shen."
She quickly wiped away her tears and entered the ward.
Shen Changhe saw that her eyes were red, and it seemed that she had been crying for a long time, but she pretended to be fine. She still took his blood pressure neatly and made a note in the nursing file: "Mr. Shen, your blood pressure has been very stable recently. I think you can be discharged soon."
Shen Changhe looked at her leisurely: "Actually, I could have been discharged a long time ago."
Xu Nian was slightly stunned.
Then he smiled and asked, "Miss Xu, do you know why I'm still here?"
She clenched the pen in her hand: “I guess Mr. Shen has other physical problems that need to be checked.”
Shen Changhe suddenly held her hand: “Is there anything wrong with my body, Miss Xu can check it out in person. In return, I can help you solve some small troubles.”
Xu Nian didn't want to sell himself out like this, but he was already at his wit's end and couldn't think of a better solution.
She gradually relaxed her resistance and let Chen Changhe push her onto the bed. The man showed a satisfied smile on his face and began to unbutton her clothes.
Xu Nian looked at the door of the ward anxiously: "Someone else will come in."
Shen Changhe was already kissing her neck: "No, no one will come in until you leave."
Maybe it was because she was wearing a nurse's uniform and they were in a place like a hospital, but Shen Changhe was more excited than ever. Xu Nian's figure was too good, and she didn't look like she had given birth to a child at all.
Even though the bed was not big enough, he still had a great time and Xu Nian was not able to leave until midnight.
After that, the debt collectors did not come again.
She originally thought that it was just a one-time deal with Shen Changhe, and that she would see him again as he was before.
However, Shen Changhe couldn't stand her serious look, so the next day, while Xu Nian was taking his temperature, he pulled her onto the bed again and said, "Please, Miss Xu, check my body again."
