Chapter 318: Chapter 318 Rare Clarity in the Human World_1
 

Everyone was mocking Shen Yishu, and he was too embarrassed to cry anymore.

He wiped his tears with a tissue, looked at me again, and said,

“I’m not drunk, just feeling uncomfortable inside, so I had a couple more drinks… My heart feels so constricted! I know others are blessing you, but I can’t. Because I see your helplessness, your resignation!”

There are so few clear-headed people in this world.

I never expected that one of the clearest among them would be Shen Yishu.

I interrupted him with a smile,

“You’re overthinking it! Don’t assume you understand me so well; in fact, you don’t know me as well as you think you do. Young man, focus on your own business, and leave mine to me.”

My words seemed to have hit him hard.

He looked deeply into my eyes, then fell silent.

On the way back, Wenya asked me,

“If you’re just trying to spite Gu Yuanzhou, I can understand that. But if it’s out of spite or sympathy for Ding Yinuo, I think you’re taking a risk. Truth be told, I admire Ding Yinuo, but what I care about more is the lifelong happiness of my sister.”

So I told Wenya about Ding Yinuo’s past.

Wenya said,

“Don’t bother with those stories—I know all about high school; such things can’t move me.”

“Oh, there’s something you don’t know about… and that’s Shiqi!”

“What, Shiqi!?”

Next, I recounted everything that had happened between Shiqi and me over the years, and finally added,

“What really made me decide to get the marriage certificate with Ding Yinuo was what I found in his hand. He is Shiqi! All these years, he’s been by my side as a master, helping and guiding me! Over all these years, he’s the only one who has done this. Compared to him, Gu Yuanzhou’s past love is worthless.”

After hearing this, Wenya also remained silent for a long time,

“Ah, what you have is true love. Look at me and Su Peisheng. It’s just pretentiousness from two old singles!”

“Not necessarily, I think Lawyer Su is a decent man! If you think there’s a spark, go for it!”

I was being honest. Although sometimes Su Peisheng could be abrasive, his values were upright, and he had genuine intentions toward Wenya.

Perhaps being together was the best choice for them.

Maybe for fear that I would be lonely and sad, Wenya stayed with me a long time.

Late into the night, she was originally going to take me back to Xishan Residence, but I went to the hospital instead.

After our wedding, I couldn’t let him spend it alone.

I always had this feeling that Ding Yinuo could sense me.

My wedding night with Ding Yinuo was spent in the hospital.

I sat by his side, looked out at the star-filled night sky, and told him, word for word.

“Anuo, we’re married now. From today on, I’m your wife! From now on, I’ll take care of you…”

“Anuo, wake up soon. Look at how many stars are shining for us tonight.”

“I wish so much you could open your eyes and talk to me!”

“Anuo, do you really have the heart to leave me alone like this? If you can’t bear it, then wake up. I need your company!”

There was so much I wanted to say.

But at that moment, I couldn’t say anything. I know life is long, and I know I need to take care of him for a long time, but I’m willing!

In the morning, while I was performing acupuncture on Ding Yinuo.

Shen Yishu came again.

He packed breakfast for me…

“Eat something first! Look at you, dripping with sweat and probably skipping breakfast, right?”

Shen Yishu handed me a towel, then flipped through a book on traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture on the table.

He remarked,

“I used to hear that love could change everything and thought it was a lie, but now it seems it’s true. Love can turn a female designer into a doctor.”

I took the towel to wipe my sweat; I really didn’t have time to eat breakfast in the morning.

Mainly because there wasn’t enough time, taking care of someone is tough, especially when that someone is a patient, requiring even more energy.

I was indeed very hungry…

Sitting down, I opened the breakfast Shen Yishu had packed—steaming hot mini beef pancakes and snow ear mushroom soup.

Shen Yishu also started discussing his business proposal.

“We’ve been cooperating with female live streamers to promote products, and the sales aren’t bad, but it’s only feasible in the mid to low-end market, not the high-end.”

“That’s fine, the mid to low-end market has larger volume. If it can be done well, it would also be a viable path.”

After breakfast, Shen Yishu helped me to turn Ding Yinuo’s body.

In the end, I walked out of the hospital with him.

I’ve had many friends and helped many people.

But Shen Yishu is one of the very few who has stayed by my side, earnestly lending me a hand all this while.

Afterward, he returned to his company, and today I had to talk business with a client.

For some reason, my left eyelid kept twitching today, giving me a bad premonition.

At first, I wasn’t clear on what the problem was.

It wasn’t until I sat down to talk business over drinks with the client that, seeing Gu Yuanzhou sitting among them, I realized where the trouble lay.

Anywhere Gu Yuanzhou appeared, I never had peace.

I ignored him, pretended not to see him, and continued negotiating with the client.

In fact, I had been tracking this client for a month already.

Some big clients need a long time to be tracked before a contract can be signed.

And today was crucial because this client would be going abroad for several months, making it difficult for me to see him then.

“President Zheng, you’ve seen our product and its quality is right here… Since we are so sincere, why not consider signing the contract now?”

After the third round of drinks, seeing that the client had also drunk quite a bit, I thought it was the right moment to seize the opportunity when he was in high spirits and get his signature so I could leave.

Unexpectedly, before the client could respond, Gu Yuanzhou stood up.

“Sincerity? Miss Song, I don’t think you show any sincerity at all. President Zheng has drunk several glasses while you haven’t drunk a single one, where’s the sincerity in that?”

I rolled my eyes at Gu Yuanzhou, not speaking doesn’t make you mute…

But it wasn’t convenient for me to say that outright, so I smiled indifferently,

“President Zheng and I are friends, it’s not as superficial as Mr. Gu implies. Not all relationships need to be proven by drinking.”

Gu Yuanzhou didn’t pay attention to me anymore, however, and instead said directly to President Zheng,

“How about this, work with Zhenyi Company. For the same product, same quality, we’ll give you a price 50% below Tianjiao’s quote.”

Gu Yuanzhou’s attitude shocked me; cooperating with such a major client, our profit margin wasn’t even 20%, yet he was offering a price even lower than our cost price.

This could only mean one thing— he was intentionally operating at a loss to struggle for attention, in other words, he was deliberately causing trouble. I had to find a way to deal with him.
