MTL - Gentle to the Bone-Chapter 27
Since returning from Jiangcheng, Shen Yansheng has been in a bad mood. Twenty-four hours a day, almost half of the time is spent in the studio, and sometimes I don't really want to go back at eleven or two in the evening.
That night, she worked overtime alone in the studio. Said to work overtime, in fact, lying in a daze by the window.
Acacia Road in the early morning is still lively, with people coming and going on the street, like a city that never sleeps.
When the store door was pushed open, she thought there were customers coming, so she was ready to receive customers, but when she turned around, she saw Lu Jingce.
After returning from Jiangcheng, she had been avoiding him for a while. In the past few days, I have been living in Wanwan for the reason of discussing work.
Seeing Lu Jingce at this moment, she couldn't tell how she felt.
I just feel that I haven't seen him for a few days. Is this person more handsome? Why was she unable to restrain her heartbeat when she saw him.
However, Lu Jingce seemed to be clearly dissatisfied with her. Seeing her eyes were a little heavy, he asked, "I'm not coming to you, are you not planning to go home?"
Shen Yansheng unconsciously squeezed the pen in his hand, tried to calm himself, looked at him and said, "Didn't I tell you, the studio is busy recently."
"You're so busy that you don't even go home?" Lu Jingce frowned at her, clearly showing that he had endured her for many days.
Shen Yansheng suddenly felt very tired. She stared at Lu Jingce for a while, then couldn't help but say, "Lu Jingce, when will we break up?"
When she said these words, Lu Jingce's face turned cold. He stared at her for a long time, perhaps out of anger, and the words he said were somewhat cruel, "Shen Yansheng, have you forgotten your identity? I spent hundreds of millions cleaning up the mess for your father. If you want to break up, break up?"
Shen Yansheng suddenly felt that her heart was stabbed with blood, she looked at Lu Jingce and said, "I didn't think so."
Lu Jingce said with a cold face, "You can break up if you want. Starting from today, three sticks of incense look forward to my early death, otherwise you won't want to leave me as long as I live."
Shen Yansheng looked at him quietly and said, "Yes, President Lu."
"..." Lu Jingce stared at Shen Yansheng calmly. He felt that his heart kept sinking and he wanted to say something, but his chest was blocked like a boulder pressing on it.
There is no one in this world who is more angry with him than Shen Yansheng.
He stared at her for half a minute, and finally turned around and left, slamming the door shut when he went out.
Through the glass window of the studio, Shen Yansheng watched Lu Jingce walk to the side of the road. When he got into the car, he slammed the door hard. Soon, the car drove away and disappeared from her sight.
That night, Shen Yansheng finally went back.
As Lu Jingce said, she was not qualified to leave him. He regarded her as nothing important. The important thing was that she was not qualified to leave him voluntarily.
When they got home, Lu Jingce was not in the living room, and Aunt Ping anxiously greeted her and asked in a low voice, "Miss Shengsheng, why haven't you been home these days?"
Shen Yansheng asked, "Is Lu Jingce back?"
Aunt Ping shook her head and said, "Not yet."
Shen Yansheng nodded and said, "Then I'll go to sleep."
She went upstairs, took a shower and went to bed.
When lying on the bed, she looked at the ceiling and suddenly thought a lot in her mind.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with Lu Jingce in this matter. It's her fault, she shouldn't be tempted by Lu Jingce.
She took it upon herself, and she couldn't blame Lu Jingce.
When Lu Jingce came back in the early morning, Shen Yansheng wasn't actually asleep, but she didn't want to face Lu Jingce, so she turned her back and closed her eyes to pretend to be asleep.
He heard Lu Jingce taking off his clothes by the bed, unbuttoning his cuffs, throwing his watch, and then the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
Shen Yansheng closed his eyes, and the words Xia Xiaoyue said were still reverberating uncontrollably in his mind.
She was suddenly curious, who would someone like Lu Jingce like? I like it so much that I have to find a substitute?
She finally understood now why Lu Jingce was willing to spend so much money to clean up the mess for her family.
Just as she was thinking, she felt Lu Jingce get on the bed, and then she was pulled into her arms. Lu Jingce was not gentle at all tonight, so he took off her skirt when he got up.
Shen Yansheng closed his eyes, did not say anything, and did not resist.
Lu Jingce fiddled with her for a while, as if he was finally annoyed, pinched her cheek, looked at her calmly, and said in a cold voice, "Shen Yansheng, am I being too kind to you?"
Shen Yansheng looked at him quietly and said, "I don't have any feelings, so I can't blame me."
Lu Jingce stared at her closely, wanting to ask why it became like this when he came back from Jiangcheng, but his pride did not allow him to ask. He looked at her for a long time, finally let go of her, got up and said, "You will really spoil the fun."
After speaking, he went straight out of the room and slammed the door shut.
After that day, Lu Jingce had been staying in the study and never came back. Shen Yansheng wouldn't ask him where he was going, and the two of them had a complete cold war.
Maybe it was a disappointment in love, but Shen Yansheng's career was very smooth. He made a lot of money in the first quarter of the new year. He discussed with Wanwan to set up a company and become a clothing brand.
When you are busy at work, you will forget your emotional sadness. During that time, Shen Yansheng was almost in a numb state, his mind was full of work, and he rarely thought about Lu Jingce.
She thought she didn't care that much, but when she was free, thinking of Lu Jingce still made her heart ache.
She didn't tell anyone about what happened in Jiangcheng, including Wanwan. So when Xie Rin asked Zhou Wanying what was going on with Shen Yansheng, Zhou Wanying also shook her head and said, "I don't know, Sheng Sheng won't tell me anything."
Xie Rin couldn't help but snort.
Zhou Wanying asked, "How is Lu Jingce doing recently?"
Xie Rin said: "What can I do? I have known him for so many years, and I have never seen him so bad tempered."
Zhou Wanying didn't know what to say for a while.
Xie Rin sighed, pinched Zhou Wanying's earlobe, looked at her, and said, "Emotions are really hurtful, right?"
Zhou Wanying looked at him, nodded lightly, and said, "Yes."
March 17th was Shen Yansheng's birthday. She stayed in the studio very late that day, and she was not even in the mood for her parents to call her home for dinner.
Sitting in front of the window and looking at the stars in the night sky outside the window, I suddenly thought of Lu Jingce for no reason.
Since the quarrel that night, the two have not been in contact with each other for almost a month.
Thinking of this, she picked up her phone and opened Lu Jingce's WeChat habitually.
The last time the two sent WeChat was during the Chinese New Year. At that time, she was in her hometown in Yuzhou, and Lu Jingce gave her a large New Year's red envelope.
She stared at the WeChat page for a while, and unconsciously touched the input box with her finger, wanting to send something, but her finger stayed on the screen for a long time and didn't know what to send.
After a long silence, I finally closed WeChat, locked the phone screen, and got up to turn off the lights.
After closing the store, it was almost early morning when I left the studio.
But she didn't want to go home at all, and she didn't want to go back to her parents. She strolled along the street alone, and walked into the tavern that He Wanwan often went to.
She sat down, ordered something to eat, and a bottle of wine.
Maybe it was because of her bad mood. After a few glasses of wine, she got a little drunk and lay on the table, crying unconsciously.
Because it was very late, the proprietress was a little worried and asked, "Miss Shengsheng, what's the matter with you? Do you want to call someone to pick you up?"
Shen Yansheng shook her head and buried her face in her arms, not wanting others to see her cry.
The proprietress was still a little worried, so she went down and called Zhou Wanying quietly.
Zhou Wanying received a call from Sister Mei in the middle of the night, saying that Shen Yansheng was drunk at her place and was very worried. She got up and wanted to change her clothes to pick up someone. Xie Rin grabbed her and said, "Don't go, I'll give it to Lu Jingce. Call up."
As he spoke, he took the phone from the bedside table and dialed Lu Jingce's number.
At three o'clock in the morning, when Lu Jingce drove to the tavern mentioned by Xie Rin, he saw Fu Shiyu sitting next to Shen Yansheng through the car window. In Fu Shiyu's arms.
He stared at it for a while, and there was a sneer in his voice.
Why did he come back from Jiangcheng? Shen Yansheng seemed to have changed his personality.
He looked at the two people from a distance, with a mocking sneer on his face, but he didn't know why he felt extremely bitter in his heart.
Fu Shiyu and his friends were having dinner at this tavern tonight. They sat in the box. Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave, he encountered Shen Yansheng drinking alone.
He was a little worried. He sat down and wanted to take her home, but Shen Yansheng refused, and didn't even want to say a word to him.
"Sheng Sheng, it wasn't that I didn't want to help you at the time, you know, I wasn't officially in charge of the company at that time, my parents forced me to break up with you, I quarreled with them at home, and my father froze all my property directly. my bank account, and I stopped my cell phone and prevented me from contacting you."
Shen Yansheng was very upset by Fu Shiyu's arguing. She finally raised her head and looked at him sarcastically, "Fu Shiyu, now is the 21st century, not the old time when you had to rely on letters to deliver news. If you really want to find me, you will find me. No? Did your parents chop off your hands or your feet?"
"Sheng Sheng—"
"Okay!" Shen Yansheng said annoyed: "Don't talk to me anymore, I'm really sick of seeing you now."
After she finished speaking, she picked up her bag and got up, strode out.
After coming out of the tavern, far away, I saw Lu Jingce's car parked on the side of the road.
She couldn't help but froze, and through the car window, she saw Lu Jingce sitting in the car smoking a cigarette.
Fu Shiyu followed and took her arm from behind, "Sheng Sheng—"
Shen Yansheng threw it away in disgust and looked back at him, "Don't pester me anymore."
She strode forward, walked straight to Lu Jingce's car, opened the passenger door, and sat in.
She looked at Lu Jingce and wanted to say something, but Lu Jingce's face was cold, as if he didn't even want to see her.
She shut her mouth wisely, bowed her head and fastened her seat belt.
Lu Jingce started the car and drove on the road silently.
There was no words all the way, and the atmosphere in the car was freezing.
Twenty minutes later, the car drove into the yard.
Lu Jingce parked the car and slammed the door to get out first.
Shen Yansheng followed silently from behind, and only after entering the room did Lu Jingce stop.
Seeing Lu Jingce stop, Shen Yansheng stopped unconsciously and looked at him.
Lu Jingce looked back at her, his face was cold, and his eyes were strange, and he said, "Shen Yansheng, I can even tolerate you cheating on other men, but Fu Shiyu, try it."
Shen Yansheng was a little anxious and explained: "I have nothing to do with him, just happened to meet him."
Lu Jingce looked at her coldly and said, "You'd better be. I won't do anything to you, but if I want to kill the Fu family, I have a way. Don't feel bad when you get there."
After he finished speaking, he went straight upstairs, leaving Shen Yansheng with an indifferent back.
Shen Yansheng looked at Lu Jingce's back, and suddenly felt aggrieved, her eyes turned red, and tears fell instantly.
When Lu Jingce went upstairs, Aunt Ping hurriedly came forward, helped Shen Yansheng to sit on the sofa, and brought her a tissue. She couldn't bear it, and persuaded bitterly, "Miss Shengsheng, what can't you think about? President Lu usually How nice to you, why do you want to…”
After speaking, he sighed and said, "No matter how nice Mr. Lu usually treats you, he is still a man. Which man would allow a woman to cuckold him, you really..."
Having said that, Aunt Ping sighed again, not knowing what to say.
However, Shen Yansheng was always silent, and his eyes kept staring at the direction upstairs. Her eyes were red, and her heart seemed to be riddled with holes. She was ten times more sad than breaking up with Fu Shiyu at the beginning.
That night, Shen Yansheng didn't go back to the room to sleep. She was so tired from crying that she curled up on the sofa and fell asleep in the middle of the night.
The next morning, when Lu Jingce came down from the upstairs, he saw Shen Yansheng curled up on the sofa, looking like a small figure, his face was pale and bloodless.
He couldn't help frowning, went downstairs, walked to the kitchen, and said to Aunt Ping, "Go wake Shen Yansheng and let her go upstairs to sleep."
Aunt Ping hurriedly put down the things in her hand, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help but say, "Mr. Lu, are there any misunderstandings between you and Miss Shengsheng? Last night, Miss Shengsheng cried very sadly, and I felt distressed when I saw it. "
Lu Jingce didn't respond and said, "Go and ask her to go upstairs to sleep and cook her a bowl of noodles. Yesterday was her birthday."
When he was done, he turned around and walked out.
When I walked to the door, I thought of something, looked back at Aunt Ping, and warned, "Don't say it was me."
"Yes." Aunt Ping nodded quickly.
Lu Jingce had been busy all day, and it was almost ten o'clock when he came home at night. He must have been very angry with Shen Yansheng recently, and from time to time he has a terrible headache.
Entering the room, sitting on the sofa, just about to light a cigarette, she saw Aunt Ping coming downstairs with a tray.
The food on the tray hadn't moved. He glanced at it, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Aunt Ping also looked worried and said, "Miss Sheng Sheng refuses to eat, she hasn't eaten all day."
For a moment, Lu Jingce only felt pain in his temples, he dropped the cigarette in his hand, got up and went straight upstairs.
Walking into the bedroom, he saw Shen Yansheng lying on his side on the bed with his back to the direction of the door.
He walked to the bed, stared at the back of her head, and said coldly, "What? Going on a hunger strike?"
"Think I'll set you free if you go on a hunger strike?"
Shen Yansheng closed his eyes, was silent for a long time, and finally sat up from the bed.
She put on her slippers and almost resigned herself to going downstairs to eat.
However, when he passed by Lu Jingce, he suddenly grabbed his arm.
She looked up at him, held back her grievance, and said, "I listen to you in everything, what else do you want?"
Lu Jingce looked at her pale face, his face sank, raised his hand to touch her forehead, the tentacles were so hot, he couldn't help frowning, "You have a high fever, why don't you call a doctor?"
Shen Yansheng looked at him, the grievances accumulated in the bottom of his heart suddenly overwhelmed the sky, and said, "Forget it if you die."
Lu Jingce glanced at her and said, "Even if you die, my name will also be engraved on your tombstone."
Shen Yansheng looked at him with red eyes, pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Lu Jingce said, "Go to bed and lie down. I'll have someone call a doctor."
