Chapter 5
"Miss Xu, I'm sorry, with your current condition, you probably can't dance anymore." This was the countless times I heard a doctor say this.
After leaving the hospital, it started to drizzle outside.
A classmate sent a message: "She told you in person, there is no chat record, you should understand." "Well, I know, there is no way to sue." I stood in the rain under an umbrella, sighing softly.
The grievances were suppressed in my heart but turned into ashes before they could ignite.
A black Rolls-Royce passed through the rain curtain and silently stopped in front of me.
The window rolled down, revealing Shen Wangjin's face.
The fine rain obstructed our vision.
I only heard him say lightly, "Xu Shichu, get in the car." I didn't expect him to come specifically to pick me up.
He was very busy, even dealing with work while in the car.
"What did the doctor say?" he asked when he had a moment.
"Well," I pretended to be relaxed, "I'm doing fine, recovering well." Shen Wangjin glanced at me and asked, "What's wrong with you?" He could tell.
The smile on my face froze for a moment, I tugged at the corners of my mouth and said lightly, "Oh, nothing." After speaking, I lowered my eyes, afraid that he would see my teary eyes.
"Xu Shichu," Shen Wangjin put down the phone, "look into my eyes." I remained silent for a moment.
The anger and grievances that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly burst out.
"Mr.
Shen, from now on...
I can't dance anymore..." I forced a smile, "They all think I took money from the Jiang family, but it was Lin Shan who deceived me." "And I just found out today." "If we had parted ways peacefully, perhaps this accident could have been avoided." "I could still continue dancing..." Shen Wangjin stared at my pretended calm face, his gaze gradually turning cold.
"Xu Shichu, are you happy being deceived?" My words were stuck in my throat, for a while, I lowered my head and tears started to fall.
"I'm sorry." "It shouldn't have been you." Shen Wangjin fell silent for a while, "It's their fault." Raindrops fell, creating ripples one after another.
They couldn't be dispersed for a long time.
Suddenly, I felt like today wasn't so bad after all.
At least someone still believed in me.
Shen Wangjin dropped me off at the entrance of my building and said before leaving, "Don't worry about your legs, I'll find a doctor." "Thank you—" Shen Wangjin's expression was indifferent, "No need." The car drove away.
As I was going upstairs, I received a call from an old classmate who said they wanted to bring me some local specialties.
I went back to the entrance of the community, and soon after, I saw her getting out of a taxi and running over.
"Hey, do you know that because of what happened between you and Jiang Zhihuai a few days ago, the class chat group exploded?" As soon as we met, she started gossiping with me.
"What?" "They bet that in less than half a month, you will reconcile with Jiang Zhihuai." "Are you kidding me?" "Someone saw him argue with Lin Shan, it must be because of you.
Don't you plan to meet Jiang Zhihuai?" I should actually meet him.
I need to transfer the money back to him.
I need to return the dirty water he threw at me.
In response to her teasing gaze, I said, "I will talk to him, there are some misunderstandings between us." My classmate smiled, "Exactly, just talk it out." I smiled, then turned my head and saw a black Rolls-Royce not far away.
It was Shen Wangjin.
Hasn't he left? Holding an umbrella, I called out, "Shen—" The car suddenly started and drove away in the distance.
My curious classmate came over, "What happened?" "It's nothing...
Probably he didn't hear me..." In the following days, I suddenly became busy adapting to the new work environment.
Coincidentally, my boss sent me to Shen Wangjin's company for business negotiations.
When the work was done, I met Shen Wangjin coming out of a meeting room.
I was just about to greet him, but his gaze brushed past me.
Instead, the secretary politely nodded at me.
"Miss Xu, Mr.
Shen asked you to wait for a moment." "Okay..." As I watched his retreating figure, I felt inexplicably uneasy.
In the evening, the secretary came in, "There's a banquet tonight, Mr.
Shen asked if you would like to attend.
If you're tired, I can send you home." "It's okay, I can go."
