Gentle to the Bone
Chapter 4:
Between adults, some things don't need to be said too clearly. Although Shen Yansheng was slow, she was not a fool. On New Year's Eve, when Lu Jingce said that she could ask him for help, but she had to exchange things with him, she understood what Lu Jingce meant.
Perhaps the reason why he did not agree at that time was because he still had expectations for Fu Shiyu. But when she was standing on the edge of a cliff today, the moment her fear came to an end, she suddenly understood that there was no one to rely on in this world.
At that moment, she suddenly figured out that there is no true love in this world. The so-called love is just the icing on the cake. When you are in trouble, everyone will leave you. Including your boyfriend who you thought would never leave you, but is the one who hides the fastest.
Since there is no true love in this world at all, then who is she not with. At least when she was most frightened and desperate, Lu Jingce would come to save her.
Even if he will get tired of her one day in the future, as long as she is not moved, she will not be hurt again.
Besides, only Lu Jingce was willing to help her save her father.
She held Lu Jingce's hand and refused to let go. She looked at Lu Jingce with sincere and sincere eyes, and said, "Lu Jingce, I will be loyal to you."
Lu Jingce looked at her, and the corners of his lips gradually brought up a slightly mocking smile. He reached out and gently touched the wound on Shen Yansheng's forehead, and said slowly, "Shen Yansheng, I have spent so much time and effort, and it is not your loyalty that I want."
His meaning was unclear, Shen Yansheng speculated on his words, looked at him sincerely, and said, "I will listen to you."
Lu Jingce hooked his lips, took his fingers away from Shen Yansheng's forehead, leaned his back into the chair, lowered his head slightly and closed his eyes, and said a little tiredly, "I slept, after a day of tossing, I am very tired."
That night, Shen Yansheng curled up in the quilt, facing out the window, and fell asleep all night. It wasn't until dawn, when she felt dizzy, that she gradually fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was almost noon, and Lu Jingce had already left. A middle-aged woman in her forties was standing beside the bed. Seeing her awake, she smiled and said, "Miss Shen, are you awake, are you hungry? ? I made the soup for you to taste?"
Shen Yansheng looked at the other party with some doubts, "Who are you?"
The other party smiled and said, "I'm the servant of the Lu family. President Lu was on a business trip early in the morning. Let me come and take care of you."
As she spoke, she opened the thermal insulation bucket beside the bed and said, "I just asked the doctor, you haven't eaten much of the nutrient solution you have been losing yesterday. When you wake up today, you can eat something light to cushion your stomach."
Shen Yansheng slept last night, and when she woke up, she was no longer so dizzy. She got out of bed with her body propped up, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
She didn't eat anything for a day, she really felt hungry, sat by the bed and simply ate something, then packed up and wanted to be discharged from the hospital.
Seeing that Shen Yansheng was about to be discharged from the hospital, Zhang Ping was anxious for a while, and said, "Miss Shen, President Lu explained that you should stay in the hospital for a few more days, observe it, and be sure that there is no problem before you leave the hospital."
Shen Yansheng said while packing up: "It's okay, I know my own body very well, I'm fine already."
It is impossible for her to stay in the hospital any longer. She didn't go back all day yesterday, and her mother must be very worried about her.
Zhang Ping was ordered to take care of Shen Yansheng, how dare she let her go, seeing that she insisted on leaving, she hurriedly went outside to call Lu Jingce.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Jingce just got off the plane and was sitting in the car about to go to the overseas branch. Hearing Zhang Ping's words, he pressed his eyebrows with a headache and said, "Let her answer the phone."
"Hey." Zhang Ping responded, and quickly returned to the ward with her mobile phone, handed it to Shen Yansheng, and said, "Miss Shen, President Lu will let you answer the phone."
Shen Yansheng was stunned for a moment when she heard the words. She lowered her eyes and saw Lu Jingce's phone number displayed on the screen of her mobile phone. She hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone and said softly, "Hello."
Lu Jingce said, "Aunt Ping said you are going to be discharged from the hospital?"
Shen Yansheng took the mobile phone and walked to the window, softly "um", and said, "I want to go back to the hospital to see my mother. She must be very worried if she didn't go back yesterday."
"Are you still dizzy? Did the doctor say you can be discharged?"
Shen Yansheng pursed her lips unconsciously, and said softly, "I'm all right now. You saw it last night. I'm very clear-headed, and it's nothing serious."
Lu Jingce rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, but he was too far away to control Shen Yansheng, and said, "Let the doctor do another examination for you, and the doctor will confirm that there is no problem and then discharge the hospital."
Shen Yansheng also didn't want to contradict Lu Jingce, nodded and said, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yansheng obediently asked the doctor to do a more careful examination for her. When the report came out, she sent it to Lu Jingce, followed by a sentence, "Can you be discharged from the hospital?"
After a while, Lu Jingce sent a word, like gold, "En."
Shen Yansheng put away the phone, picked up the bag and left the ward.
After leaving the hospital, Aunt Ping still followed her. Shen Yansheng was afraid that her mother would think too much when she saw it, so she turned to Zhang Ping and said, "Aunt Ping, go back. I'm going to the hospital to see my mother now. It's not convenient for you to follow me."
"This..." Zhang Ping was a little embarrassed.
Shen Yansheng guessed that she was afraid that she would not be able to communicate with Lu Jingce, and said, "Don't worry, I'm all right now. As for Lu Jingce, I'll explain to him myself."
Zhang Ping hesitated for a while, but in the end she nodded and didn't insist on following.
Shen Yansheng called a car at the entrance of the hospital. It was noon when he arrived at the Municipal People's Hospital. When he walked to the door of the ward, he saw that his mother was standing beside the bed pouring water.
She hurriedly walked in, took the kettle from her mother's hand, and said anxiously, "I'm here, you go to bed and rest."
Shen Yansheng had already sent a text message to her mother last night, saying that she had something to do temporarily and would come back to the hospital this morning.
Zhou Xiuyun originally thought that her daughter was delayed by some personal affairs, but she was not too worried, but now she saw a piece of medical gauze on her daughter's forehead, she immediately became nervous, turned her daughter's body, and saw that on her forehead. The medical gauze couldn't help frowning tightly, "What happened? What happened?"
How dare Shen Yansheng tell her mother that she was kidnapped yesterday, she helped her to sit beside the bed, and said, "It's alright, but I accidentally fell and broke my forehead."
Zhou Xiuyun had no doubts, but was so distressed that she held her daughter's face, "Why are you so careless? Are you seriously injured? How did you fall?"
Shen Yansheng smiled and said, "It was when I got up at night to go to the toilet, and I accidentally tripped over a stool. It wasn't serious, it just broke a small hole, and it's fine after taking the medicine."
Zhou Xiuyun felt distressed and frowned, "Be careful, it hurts your face, what can you do if you break your face."
Shen Yansheng smiled and reassured his mother: "It's not that serious, it's just a small injury."
She helped her mother to go to bed and asked with concern, "Have you seen the doctor today? How are the indicators? Does the surgery wound still hurt?"
Zhou Xiuyun shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt much anymore, and all the indicators have recovered well."
Speaking of which, Zhou Xiuyun took her daughter's hand, looked at her seriously, and said, "Sheng Sheng, can you help me discharge from the hospital, please, my body has almost recovered, I can go home and raise it, like this every day Living in the hospital, spending your money, I'm under a lot of stress."
Shen Yansheng couldn't help frowning when she heard the words, and said, "What is your money, my money, isn't my money also yours and dad's money? Don't worry about money, I saved some from work a few years ago, and I still have some savings. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body, and when the family matters are resolved, our family can be reunited."
Mentioning this, Zhou Xiuyun couldn't stop her eyes from turning red again. She raised her hand to wipe her tears, and choked up, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I don't know if your father is doing well."
She raised her head and looked out the window, only to feel that this winter, the sky in Beicheng was extremely gloomy.
Shen Yansheng also followed and looked out the window, the Beicheng in the cold winter, the sky was gray, and I don't know when it will be really clear.
The day Lu Jingce returned to China was already the end of January.
At that time, Shen Yansheng had already discharged her mother from the hospital, and the mother and daughter moved back to the textile factory on Minghua Road.
The house is too dilapidated, and because it is a bungalow, it is extremely damp. Shen Yansheng had some regrets on the first night he lived in. He shouldn't have rented such a poor place to save money.
She doesn't mind herself, but her mother has just had an operation, and the house is wet and moldy. If she lives for a long time, it will be bad for her health.
She blamed herself in her heart, but Zhou Xiuyun saw it very openly and said with a smile: "What's the matter, at this point, it is already a fortune in misfortune to have a shelter from the wind and rain."
The mother and daughter were sitting facing each other for dinner. When they said this, they were suddenly silent, and the two thought of their father together. She and her mother can still sit here to eat now, but I don't know how my father is now.
There are still a few days before the New Year, and the weather is getting colder and colder. I don't know if my father's winter clothes are enough. This new year must be the most difficult one in my life.
In the evening, Shen Yansheng took care of her mother and went to bed first. She sat in the living room and drew a design drawing. During this time, too many things happened at home. She had not worked for too long. When she picked up the brush, she only felt that every stroke that fell was too stiff and soulless.
In the early hours of the morning, the phone next to me suddenly vibrated. She put down her paintbrush, picked up her phone, and saw that it was a WeChat message from Lu Jingce.
She opened it and saw only two words on WeChat, "Are you sleeping?"
Shen Yansheng replied, "Not yet."
After thinking for a while, he added another sentence, "How about you?"
As soon as the information was sent, Lu Jingce's phone number came. She picked it up quickly, lowered her voice, "Hello."
Lu Jingce said, "Come out."
Shen Yansheng couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the words, a little incredulous, "Now? Where are you going?"
Lu Jingce: "Just got off the plane, accompany me to have a meal."
Shen Yansheng hesitated for a few seconds, but still did not dare to refute. She went back to the room to change clothes, took the keys and mobile phone and went out quietly.
When he came out of the house, he could see Lu Jingce's car parked at the entrance of the alley in the distance.
She walked over, pulled away the co-pilot and got into the car.
It has been almost half a month since the last time I saw Lu Jingce, Shen Yansheng faced Lu Jingce with a smile and asked, "Is the business trip going well?"
The ingratitude of the smile on her face was too obvious, Lu Jingce didn't like it very much, and his eyes fell on the wound on Shen Yansheng's forehead.
Half a month later, the stitches on Shen Yansheng's forehead have been removed, but it still looks a little red, and I don't know if it will leave a scar.
Seeing Lu Jingce staring at the wound on her forehead, she subconsciously raised her hand to touch it and said, "The doctor said that the marks will gradually fade in a few months."
She worried that Lu Jingce would be too ugly, and added, "If you don't like it, I'll go to the barber shop tomorrow to cut a bang to cover it."
Hearing this, Lu Jingce glanced at Shen Yansheng, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "Don't do it."
Shen Yansheng nodded obediently and said, "Okay."
Lu Jingce started the car and was silent all the way. The car drove off Minghua Road and headed in the direction of Yanghuai Road.
It was already early in the morning, and the area of Yanghuai Road was still very lively, with neon flashing and lively.
Lu Jingce took Shen Yansheng to a private restaurant in an alley deep in Fandu.
Lu Jingce was obviously a frequent visitor here. As soon as he entered the door, the boss greeted him enthusiastically, "Mr. Lu, you're here."
Lu Jingce gave a "hmm" and took Shen Yansheng directly to the private room inside.
The boss came in to pour tea in person, and Lu Jingce handed the menu to Shen Yansheng, "Let's see what you like to eat."
Shen Yansheng said subconsciously, "I ate it last night."
Lu Jingce didn't force her to order, he put down the menu, raised his head and said to the boss, "Old rules."
"Hey." The boss responded with a smile, poured the tea and hurriedly went down to help place the order.
After the boss left, Shen Yansheng looked at the restaurant's environment and said, "I used to eat here often, but I didn't expect such a restaurant to be hidden deep in this alley."
Lu Jingce said with an "um", "This one tastes good, you can try it later."
Shen Yansheng nodded and smiled at Lu Jingce.
She sat under the light, and the wound on her forehead was more obvious because of her pale skin. Lu Jingce stared at it for a while, then suddenly said, "Come here."
Shen Yansheng was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What?"
Lu Jingce looked at her and said, "You are so far away from me, are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Shen Yansheng's ears were inexplicably warm, she stood up and sat beside Lu Jingce.
As they got closer, Lu Jingce raised his hand and pinched Shen Yansheng's chin. Shen Yansheng suddenly became nervous, her whole body was stiff, and her body even trembled.
But Lu Jingce didn't actually plan to do anything. He just wanted to see the wound on Shen Yansheng's forehead clearly. Seeing Shen Yansheng's nervousness, he didn't know whether to feel funny or angry, so he deliberately teased her, "Is it so scary? It's not that I can do anything I want. give me?"
Shen Yansheng bit her lip unconsciously. She opened her eyes and couldn't help but ask, "My father's business..."
Lu Jingce didn't like that Shen Yansheng always made deals with him about her father's affairs, he was suddenly disappointed, let go of Shen Yansheng, and said lightly: "Since I promised you, I will do it. But this is not a small matter, and it is not a day. It will be resolved in two days.”
Shen Yansheng suddenly felt a little disappointed. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "It will be New Year's Eve in a few days."
Lu Jingce glanced at her, his brows were a little deep, but he didn't know what he was thinking at that moment.
After dinner, Lu Jingce sent Shen Yansheng home.
At the entrance of the alley, Shen Yansheng unfastened his seat belt and was about to get out of the car when Lu Jingce suddenly said, "I'll have someone help you move in a few days."
Shen Yansheng was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, she raised her head and looked at Lu Jingce in surprise.
Lu Jingce glanced at the dark alley outside the car window, then looked at Shen Yansheng again, and said, "Do you really plan to live in this kind of place forever?"
He added: "You just want to live, and I don't want to come back to this bad place a second time."
Hearing this, Shen Yansheng pursed her lower lip unconsciously. She could hear Lu Jingce's overtones. With his identity, it would be a lot of face for him to come to her once, so how could he expect him to come to this kind of place to look for her every time.
Knowing her current situation, she was not qualified to negotiate terms with Lu Jingce, nodded and said, "Okay."
He said, "Then I'll go back first."
Lu Jingce gave a light "um" and didn't get out of the car to send him off.
But he didn't drive the car away immediately. After Shen Yansheng got out of the car, he took out a cigarette from the armrest box, sat in the car and smoked half a cigarette, and only extinguished the cigarette end when he saw Shen Yansheng entering the house safely. Restart the car, turn around and drive away from Minghua Road.
