Shen Xingzhi knew that happiness is something that comes from comparison.
Many people yearn for something but cannot have it, like Rong Bing, like Liang Jia...
She looked at the caregiver's scarred arms and didn't know how to comfort her.
Besides cursing the man as a beast, she also expressed her strong desire for the public welfare psychological counseling program to start immediately, as so many women need psychological support.
"Big sister, I don't know what to say. Abusers deserve to die a horrible death. You made the right decision to come out; safety is the most important thing," Shen Xingzhi said through gritted teeth.
"Fortunately, I learned some skills back in my hometown, which are now useful in the big city," the caregiver said optimistically. "I feel like I've come back to life after leaving that place. Although I live alone now, I'm happy every day."
"Mmm." If it weren't for her injuries, which hurt at the slightest touch, Shen Xingzhi would have loved to hug her older sister.
She wanted to do something for the caregiver. She didn't need to work anymore. She remembered that the caregiver kept watching a video on her phone, a video of a little girl.
"Big sister, is that child you look at every day your daughter?" Shen Xingzhi suddenly understood. Before, she thought the caregiver worked in Tiancheng and probably rarely came home, so she missed her child and would look at her from time to time. Now it seemed that she didn't dare to go back and probably hadn't seen her since coming to Tiancheng.
"Yes, I haven't seen her for two years. I don't dare to go back." The caregiver had seemed nonchalant while telling the story, but her eyes reddened and her voice choked up when she mentioned the child.
“My little Ruo, I’m so cowardly, so scared. I don’t dare to go back to see her. She was only this big when I left. She must have grown taller by now.” Tears streamed down the caregiver’s face.
Shen Xingzhi felt a pang of pain in her heart upon seeing this.
"Big sister, maybe I can take you back after I'm discharged from the hospital." Shen Xingzhi still needed Rong Yan's help with this matter, as Rong Yan knew many people.
"Really?" The caregiver wiped away her tears.
Then she talked about her own experiences, which brought tears to Shen Xingzhi's eyes.
When Rong Yan arrived, she sensed that the atmosphere in the ward was not good.
Thinking something was wrong, she asked, "Xingzhi, did you fail the check? It's okay, take your time."
Shen Xingzhi shook her head and told Rong Yan about the caregiver.
Before Shen Xingzhi could speak, Rong Yan patted the bedside table and stood up: "You beast, big sister, don't be afraid, I can help you, I'll help you get the child out."
As expected, Rong Yan had the same idea as him.
The caregiver thought she had met a benefactor. She never expected that two years later, in a strange city, she would actually meet such kind people. She chose to believe them.
Yu Wenhao came to relieve Rong Yan after get off work that evening.
He thought he saw that Shen Xingzhi's eyes were red.
"Xingzhi, have you been crying? What happened? Your eyes are all red," the attentive man asked.
Yu Wenhao's words moved Shen Xingzhi even more. Just as the caregiver said, many people never meet someone who truly cares for them in their entire lives. Yu Wenhao is thoughtful and has a good personality. Shouldn't you hurry up and marry him?
The caregiver nodded to Shen Xingzhi and left the ward.
There were only two people left in the room.
Shen Xingzhi reached out and touched Yu Wenhao's face: "You've worked hard these past few days."
Yu Wenhao was confused: "What's wrong, Xingzhi? I'm not tired at all. I'm happy to be with you."
“I’m really emotional today, Wenhao. I don’t want to wait a minute longer. Let’s get our marriage certificate,” Shen Xingzhi said proactively.
"Huh? But I haven't formally proposed to you yet. Although I've already stolen your household registration book, I wanted to propose to you after you were discharged from the hospital." Yu Wenhao had been preparing for this, but Shen Xingzhi was injured, so it wasn't the right time for him to speak.
"I don't want to wait any longer. Let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow. I'll go in my wheelchair." Shen Xingzhi knew she wasn't acting impulsively.
“Xingzhi, I must give you a proper proposal ceremony, can you wait until you recover?” Yu Wenhao didn’t want to do it so perfunctorily. He knew why Shen Xingzhi suddenly had this idea.
During this time, he had taken meticulous care of Shen Xingzhi, and Shen Xingzhi had thanked him many times. He must have been moved by her words, which is why she impulsively said she wanted to get a marriage certificate. However, he did not want Shen Xingzhi to marry him because he was moved.
"Don't you want to marry me?" Shen Xingzhi asked, seeing Yu Wenhao's hesitation.
“No, Xingzhi, I know you’re thanking me for being with you all this time, but I really don’t need your thanks, because I’m happy just being with you.” Yu Wenhao explained repeatedly, “I’m not trying to make you happy, but I’ve genuinely felt happy from the bottom of my heart during this time I’ve been with you in the hospital.”
"So you're afraid I'll marry you out of gratitude, not love?" Shen Xingzhi immediately understood the meaning behind Yu Wenhao's words.
"Yes," Yu Wenhao said.
Shen Xingzhi spoke frankly: "I'm not lying to you, there's an element of being moved. I've never felt so at ease before. Because you're here, I feel at ease. Your companionship has only strengthened my resolve. Most importantly, I like you."
“I don’t want things to end so hastily, Xingzhi. I won’t run away. I don’t want anyone but you. I’ll propose to you as soon as you’re better, okay? I’m already preparing. Some things are all in place.” Yu Wenhao held Shen Xingzhi’s hand.
"Okay, Wenhao, we'll never be apart again."
——
After leaving the hospital, Rong Yan called Fu Jingsheng, who was still working overtime. Rong Yan turned her car around and drove towards the suburbs.
Fu Jingsheng inspected the day's work, from the workshop to the post-processing department to the administration department, leaving no detail unattended.
You always need to pay more attention to a newly established company.
After finishing Rong Yan's call, the man's phone rang again.
This time it's Ge Tian.
“President Ge,” Fu Jingsheng called out.
“President Fu, we’re already quite familiar with each other. You can call me Lao Ge or not. I have some good news and some bad news to tell you. Which do you want to hear first?” Ge Tian asked.
Fu Jingsheng paused, his fingertips twitching. Bad news. Could it be that there was really a problem with his cooperation with Ge Tian?
"Bad news," Fu Jingsheng said.
"The bad news is, you're probably going to be in for a lot of trouble from now on," Ge Tian continued, keeping everyone in suspense.
"There's a problem with the order? We need to fix it?" Fu Jingsheng blurted out.
“The order is fine, but we have an even bigger order coming up that requires ten molds. The drawings have already been sent to your email. The deadline is very tight; we need to deliver within a month. Are you confident you can complete it?” Ge Tian said.
"This is the bad news?" Fu Jingsheng breathed a sigh of relief. "So the good news is that it brought me a new order?"
"clever."
"Let me look at the blueprints and give you an answer."
“Okay, once I’ve made up my mind, I’ll bring the contract over right away.” Ge Tian was even more anxious than Fu Jingsheng.
After hanging up the phone, he said to Li Yun next to him, "Well, Lao Li, you're really going all out! Why can't I meet a benefactor like you?"
“Isn’t this also an additional production line for you?” Li Yun retorted.
"Yes, yes, thank you. I'll treat you to a night out at the club."
