<p>Old Man&apo works

Chapter 22 She Avoids Him

    

t a high school dropout working as a janitor. We come from two different worlds. The only reason we are together is because of work, sharing a dormitory arranged by the company."We are clearly distinc...As the sun set, the afterglow of the sunset streamed into the ward.

Su Meng stood up and gently looked at the bed. The woman on the bed was pale and sickly, curled up under the covers in the warm glow of the setting sun.

Just as they were about to leave, Jian Tong in the bed suddenly opened her eyes and mumbled:

"Sister Meng, I have to pay off my debts. I have nothing left. I only have myself. Can I use myself to pay"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Su Meng's heart felt like it had been pierced, a mixture of emotions swirling within her.

Those who are sick are muddled, their hearts and eyes full of paying off debts... Su Meng couldn't believe that such a person would do such a dirty thing.

Jian Tong said, everyone was scolding her for being low-class... Jian Tong low-class If Jian Tong is low-class, then who in the world is noble

This foolish woman, her pride is admirable!

Back then, I would still cry silently when alone, even considering suicide. But Jian Tong, that foolish woman, endured all of this without a word.

And those words from others, that Jian Tong sold her dignity to earn the money, this woman had never looked at it twice before handing it over to herself. Others didn't understand, but Su Meng did... This foolish woman gave up her dignity, not for money, but for freedom.

That man, Shen Xiujin, restricted a foolish woman's freedom with five million.

This five million dollars, for this foolish woman right now, is an astronomical sum, firmly shackling her.

And at this moment, Jian Tong, this silly woman, was using all her strength to break free from the shackles.

An egg hitting a rock, knowing full well that it will end up with a bloody head, yet still charging in recklessly... Mr. Shen, aren't you going too far

As night deepened, Su Meng returned to the East Emperor Entertainment.

Just entered the office.

"What about her"

"President Shen Who are you asking about" Su Meng hadn't expected Shen Xiujin to grace her office with his presence today, waiting for her inside.

"Jian Tong, where is she"

Don't mention Jian Tong, or Su Meng would inexplicably get angry.

Facing her was her boss, and he was ruthless. No matter what she thought, she couldn't show it.

Suppressing the fire in her stomach, Su Meng reluctantly said, "Jian Tong is on leave today."

"Go get her," the man on the sofa said indifferently, "Who allowed her to take leave Five million earned, right"

Su Meng gritted her teeth and emphasized, “Mr. Shen! Jian Tong is sick!”

"You seem quite displeased with me"

"No." Su Meng's face changed, and she quickly said, "Jian Tong fell ill last night in the employee dormitory. If I hadn't arrived in time, she would have been in danger. When the ambulance took her to the hospital, she had a fever of 42 degrees. The doctor said that if we had been any later, it would have been too late."

Shen Xiujin's heart moved. Upon hearing that the woman was ill, his black pupils constricted suddenly.

One, two, three... "Whoosh!" Shen Xiujin's tall figure suddenly stood up.

Without a word, he got up and walked out of the office. As he passed Su Meng, he asked, "Which hospital"

Uh... Mr. Shen, what do you mean

Su Meng subconsciously said, "The First People's Hospital, inpatient department room 7012." In order to give Jian Tong a good recuperation environment, and Jian Tong's condition was not very good at the time, according to the doctor, the intravenous drip had to be hung for several days before it could recover thoroughly. Su Meng didn't want to save money, so she arranged a ward for Jian Tong.

Su Meng watched Shen Xiujin's retreating figure and suddenly called out, "Mr. Shen, I just came back from the hospital. When I left, she had just fallen asleep." The implication was to tell Shen Xiujin not to go, so as not to disturb Jian Tong's rest.

"In a bit, I'll go over today's work and then bring her some soup." Su Meng added.

Shen Xiujin's long legs didn't stop, "You don't need to go, I'll have someone bring her soup."

So then... Mr. Shen, what exactly do you mean Su Meng looked at the back of Shen Xiujin disappearing around the corner with a strange expression.

……

Outside the Dong Huang Entertainment Building, Shen Xiuqin got into a car and made a phone call: "Bai Yu, you help me run to 'Zhenkuai Restaurant' and buy some light porridge. Deliver it to ward 7012 in the inpatient department of the First People's Hospital."

“Um… who is sick”

"Don't ask so many questions, just buy it," Shen Xiujin suddenly remembered something and ordered over the phone, "Deliver it within half an hour."

"Damn! Am I Superman now Flying over there" Half an hour, Bai Yu Xing almost exploded when he heard what Shen Xiu Jin said. He even wanted to complain to Shen Xiu Jin on the phone, but the other party mercilessly hung up.

Hello!

Bai Yu walked down the stairs quickly after putting on his clothes at random.

As she went downstairs, she called "Zhencang Zhai" : "...That's right, I want all of those. I'll pick them up in fifteen minutes. Hurry up." After hanging up, she began cursing Shen Xiujin's ancestors eighteen generations over and over again in her mind.

Who got sick It's such a big deal that even Shen Xiujin is involved, making such a fuss about it.

It's just that back then when Xia Wei Ming was sick, Shen Xiu Jin wasn't this flustered.

……

Shen Xiuqin walked into Jian Tong's ward. Seeing that Su Meng chose a single room, he nodded in his heart... Su Meng knew how to do things.

Heaven knows Su Meng wasn't giving Jian Tong a good ward because of Shen Xiu Jin.

Long legs strode toward Jian Tong's sickbed, the man gazing at the woman on the bed. The complexity in his dark eyes was something he hadn't even noticed himself.

Shen Xiujin had never thought that after three years, a person could change so much.

The once delicate and pretty face had become somewhat unrecognizable. Her skin, dull and lacking its former radiance, hinted at the features of the former Miss Jian, but it was no longer the same captivating presence.

Swollen under-eye bags, eyebrows with messy hairs, chapped and dry lip edges, rough skin... all in just three years!

At this moment, the person on the bed stirred slightly, turning their head. The fringe covering their forehead slid down, revealing a scar that had been hidden beneath it.

Shen Xiujin's eyes instantly sharpened, he frowned and stared at the unsightly scar for a long time, he couldn't help but reach out his hand, just as his fingers touched Jian Tong's forehead scar, the woman on the bed woke up.

In a flash!

Flee in terror from that hand!

How could he come What does he want again!

Shen Xiujin's face was displeased.

Avoid him

Unconvinced, Shen Xiujin reached out to Jian Tong again... "Whoosh!" Jian Tong almost instinctively grabbed the blanket and burrowed her head deep under it.

Shen Xiujin looked at the woman huddled under the blanket with anger burning in his eyes. His face was frighteningly cold!

This damn woman, she's really hiding from him!

Standing still, gazing at the huddled form beneath the blankets, one could faintly see the blanket trembling.

After hiding under the covers, Jian Tong started to regret it. She wondered why she had hidden in there in the first place. If Shen Xiujin wanted to find trouble with her, hiding wouldn't do any good, not even if she hid in outer space. What use was hiding under the covers anyway

Shen Xiujin suddenly pulled open Jian Tong's blanket with a whoosh. His voice was suddenly icy and sharp, his thin lips moving slowly, word by word: "Are you hiding from me"d this have to do with her missing shoes"Well~Didn't I just say You fainted in Su Meng's place, you wouldn't think that I carried you to my bedroom and called a doctor for you, would you""Is it Meng J...
