Chapter 178: Marrying A Rich Lady (11)

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. “What is the matter?”

“You didn’t lose your memory.” Ming Shu gave a slight smile. “What exactly are you planning?”

Who would give up two million so easily?

Qin Che passed the medical certificate to her. “It’s written here in black and white, do you think I…”

Qin Che swallowed back the unfriendly words he was going to say and restructured his sentence: “Don’t you believe the medical certificate written by the doctor?”

Ming Shu put down the certificate and smiled gently. “It’s okay, let me play along with you.”

Qin Che glanced at her. “Do you really… want to break up with me? Is our relationship giving you a lot of trouble?”

Ming Shu grinned. “Yes, it’s torture to be with you.”

“I don’t know how I treated you before, but I promise that I will be good to you from now on.” Qin Che held Ming Shu’s hand and squeezed it slightly. His face was full of sincerity.

“Okay, give me five million first.”

Ming Shu started counting in her heart. When she reached number three, Qin Che nodded his head. “Okay, as long as you don’t break up with me.”

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.

…

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. “What happened?”

Who touched my chef?

Jiang Duo slowly focused her gaze on Ming Shu’s face.

When she recognized her, Jiang Duo felt like a drowning man who seized his last lifeline and started crying. She stuttered, “Xiao Li, it wasn’t me. It really wasn’t me.”

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 colleague’s 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.

“Xiao Li, you must believe me. I didn’t do it.” Jiang Duo cried profusely.

No one believed her.

She didn’t know what to do.

Ming Shu reluctantly took out her last sweet and stuffed it into Jiang Duo’s mouth.

The bitter taste in Jiang Duo’s mouth dispersed.

“Sweet?”

Jiang Duo nodded her head.

“Smile then.”

How could Jiang Duo smile at this point in time?

Ming Shu placed her arm over her shoulder. “What happened has already happened. Crying will not make people believe in you, and it will not solve the problem.”

Jiang Duo asked tearfully, “Do you believe me?”

“You make such nice food. Of course, I believe you.”

Jiang Duo heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Someone was still willing to believe her.

Although the reason… was a bit weird.

“What should I do?” Jiang Duo asked Ming Shu.

“There are two ways.” Ming Shu pointed her finger and shook it. “Call the police or prove your innocence.”

“Call the police…” 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 cupboard’s position was too coincidental. In the end, all the evidence would be against her…

Ming Shu looked at Jiang Duo’s 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?

“I… How do I prove my innocence?”Jiang Duo looked at Ming Shu.

“You can’t.”

Jiang Duo stared helplessly at Ming Shu.

“You have no witnesses,” 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.

“Come, eat this when you finish crying.” 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.

…

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 Che’s room, Qin Che called out to her.

“What?” Ming Shu popped her head in.

“Where did you go to buy food…” Did you go to the Pacific Ocean to buy food? Qin Che stopped himself from saying that. “I’m hungry. Where’s the food you bought?”

“I ate it.” Ming Shu patted her stomach.

Qin Che: “…”

Ming Shu closed the door and brought Jiang Duo to Nan Youyou’s ward. Jiang Duo was in a daze.

Only Shen Yuanzhao was in Nan Youyou’s room. The curtains on the door weren’t 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 Youyou’s distressed face.

Shen Yuanzhao hesitated and patted Nan Youyou’s head gently.

Jiang Duo’s face was already pale but got even whiter when she saw the two of them hugging.

“Xiao Li… let’s go.”

“Not going in?”

Jiang Duo shook her head and hastened Ming Shu along. “Let’s go.

Ming Shu grinned and asked, “You like Shen Yuanzhao?”

Jiang Duo startled and glanced at Ming Shu shyly. She bit her lips and denied it softly. “No.”

She didn’t have the courage to like someone like Shen Yuanzhao. What right did she have to like him?

Ming Shu didn’t say anything and brought Jiang Duo to Qin Che’s 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 didn’t 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.

“Xiao Li, he is…” Who?

“My brother,” Ming Shu answered.

“Boyfriend,” Qin Che corrected her.

Jiang Duo was confused. So which one is it?

“Ignore him, his brain was damaged in an accident.” Ming Shu pointed to her head.

Jiang Duo looked at the bandages on Qin Che’s head and understood. She nodded her head. Poor thing. He’s so handsome but his brain is damaged.

Qin Che: “…”

She just casually brought someone inside and said such things about him. What’s more, she didn’t get him any food.
