The business people finally left after talking for a while and the room became quiet.
Ming Shu grabbed a chair and sat beside Qin Che.
Qin Che steadied his emotions. âWhat is the matter?â
âYou didnât lose your memory.â Ming Shu gave a slight smile. âWhat exactly are you planning?â
Who would give up two million so easily?
Qin Che passed the medical certificate to her. âItâs written here in black and white, do you think IâŚâ
Qin Che swallowed back the unfriendly words he was going to say and restructured his sentence: âDonât you believe the medical certificate written by the doctor?â
Ming Shu put down the certificate and smiled gently. âItâs okay, let me play along with you.â
Qin Che glanced at her. âDo you really⌠want to break up with me? Is our relationship giving you a lot of trouble?â
Ming Shu grinned. âYes, itâs torture to be with you.â
âI donât know how I treated you before, but I promise that I will be good to you from now on.â Qin Che held Ming Shuâs hand and squeezed it slightly. His face was full of sincerity.
âOkay, give me five million first.â
Ming Shu started counting in her heart. When she reached number three, Qin Che nodded his head. âOkay, as long as you donât break up with me.â
Did he just agree?
Is his brain damaged?
Qin Che immediately asked someone to send a check over and signed on it. He then passed the check to Ming Shu.
Ming Shu looked at the number of zeros on the check and sighed. What comes around goes around. Some old sayings really held some truth.
Yesterday, we were still on different sides⌠today, he rushed to give me money.
âŚ
Ming Shu left the hospital to buy some snacks and bumped into Jiang Duo.
There was blood on Jiang Duo and her face was white as she ran out of the hospital, distracted.
Ming Shu immediately grabbed Chef Jiang. âWhat happened?â
Who touched my chef?
Jiang Duo slowly focused her gaze on Ming Shuâs face.
When she recognized her, Jiang Duo felt like a drowning man who seized his last lifeline and started crying. She stuttered, âXiao Li, it wasnât me. It really wasnât me.â
Ming Shu took a look at the bright and sunny sky and led Jiang Duo into the hospital.
This afternoon, Jiang Duo had an argument with a colleague. After lunch, the colleague came back and left the office because someone was looking for her.
Nan Youyou came to look for a document and went to the colleagueâs table. The cupboard beside her suddenly fell down and she was cut quite seriously on her shoulder by some sharp objects that fell together with the other items.
Shen Yuanzhao came back and sent Nan Youyou, who was bleeding profusely, to the hospital.
However, someone accused Jiang Duo of damaging the cupboard in order to get revenge for the colleague whom she had an argument with. However, Nan Youyou unexpectedly arrived and got implicated.
âXiao Li, you must believe me. I didnât do it.â Jiang Duo cried profusely.
No one believed her.
She didnât know what to do.
Ming Shu reluctantly took out her last sweet and stuffed it into Jiang Duoâs mouth.
The bitter taste in Jiang Duoâs mouth dispersed.
âSweet?â
Jiang Duo nodded her head.
âSmile then.â
How could Jiang Duo smile at this point in time?
Ming Shu placed her arm over her shoulder. âWhat happened has already happened. Crying will not make people believe in you, and it will not solve the problem.â
Jiang Duo asked tearfully, âDo you believe me?â
âYou make such nice food. Of course, I believe you.â
Jiang Duo heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Someone was still willing to believe her.
Although the reason⌠was a bit weird.
âWhat should I do?â Jiang Duo asked Ming Shu.
âThere are two ways.â Ming Shu pointed her finger and shook it. âCall the police or prove your innocence.â
âCall the policeâŚâ Jiang Duo muttered.
Would it be useful? She was alone in the office at that time and there was no camera inside. There were many items in the cupboard and she had touched them before.
She had argued with someone, and the cupboardâs position was too coincidental. In the end, all the evidence would be against herâŚ
Ming Shu looked at Jiang Duoâs expression and knew that she had guessed the results of calling the police.
Nan Youyou made such a big move this time. How could she let Jiang Duo off so easily?
âI⌠How do I prove my innocence?âJiang Duo looked at Ming Shu.
âYou canât.â
Jiang Duo stared helplessly at Ming Shu.
âYou have no witnesses,â Ming Shu continued.
Right, she had no witnesses.
She was alone in the office the whole afternoon.
Whichever option she chose, Jiang Duo would always be at the losing end.
Jiang Duo got discouraged and started sobbing.
She let out all her emotions, from the accusations to all the bullying she had to endure, and cried uncontrollably.
âCome, eat this when you finish crying.â Ming Shu passed a steaming hot bun to Jiang Duo.
Jiang Duo turned her grief into appetite and started chomping down on the bun, stuffing herself till her mouth was full. Her eyes were red and it made her look like a rabbit.
âŚ
Jiang Duo stopped crying after eating the bun and wanted to see Nan Youyou.
She was in the VIP ward. Ming Shu had to bring Jiang Duo up as normal people were not allowed inside.
When they walked past Qin Cheâs room, Qin Che called out to her.
âWhat?â Ming Shu popped her head in.
âWhere did you go to buy foodâŚâ Did you go to the Pacific Ocean to buy food? Qin Che stopped himself from saying that. âIâm hungry. Whereâs the food you bought?â
âI ate it.â Ming Shu patted her stomach.
Qin Che: ââŚâ
Ming Shu closed the door and brought Jiang Duo to Nan Youyouâs ward. Jiang Duo was in a daze.
Only Shen Yuanzhao was in Nan Youyouâs room. The curtains on the door werenât closed and they could see inside.
Nan Youyou was talking to Shen Yuanzhao and Shen Yuanzhao suddenly hugged her. From their position, they could see Nan Youyouâs distressed face.
Shen Yuanzhao hesitated and patted Nan Youyouâs head gently.
Jiang Duoâs face was already pale but got even whiter when she saw the two of them hugging.
âXiao Li⌠letâs go.â
âNot going in?â
Jiang Duo shook her head and hastened Ming Shu along. âLetâs go.
Ming Shu grinned and asked, âYou like Shen Yuanzhao?â
Jiang Duo startled and glanced at Ming Shu shyly. She bit her lips and denied it softly. âNo.â
She didnât have the courage to like someone like Shen Yuanzhao. What right did she have to like him?
Ming Shu didnât say anything and brought Jiang Duo to Qin Cheâs room.
Jiang Duo looked at the person lying on the bed and stared for a while. She seemed to remember that she had met Xiao Li in a hospital.
The man on the bed was as handsome as Shen Yuanzhao⌠but it was two different kinds of handsome.
Anyone that could stay here was either rich or powerful.
She didnât know that Xiao Li knew someone so incredible.
Qin Che was afraid that he would say the wrong things and decided to keep quiet. He looked down and stared at the cellphone he just got.
âXiao Li, he isâŚâ Who?
âMy brother,â Ming Shu answered.
âBoyfriend,â Qin Che corrected her.
Jiang Duo was confused. So which one is it?
âIgnore him, his brain was damaged in an accident.â Ming Shu pointed to her head.
Jiang Duo looked at the bandages on Qin Cheâs head and understood. She nodded her head. Poor thing. Heâs so handsome but his brain is damaged.
Qin Che: ââŚâ
She just casually brought someone inside and said such things about him. Whatâs more, she didnât get him any food.
