Then, when she turned eighteen, she was given as a gift to a powerful figure in the capital.
She kicked one of the wealthy men in the groin and was hunted down for two years.
Then, this wealthy man, who had sent people to hunt her down, was tricked by her; his company went bankrupt. He couldn’t bear the debt and committed suicide by jumping into a river.
Only then did her world finally find peace.
This was the first person to die indirectly because of her.
Jiang Nanshu realized what was happening; her stomach was burning with pain.
But she held back and even managed to smile at Xun Wu: “Come on, let’s drink. It’s on me today!”
“Are you out of your mind! Did that idiot come to your house again to annoy you? Damn it, he deserves to die, damn it.” Xun Wu cursed.
“I’ll take you to the hospital.” Xun Wu tried to carry Jiang Nanshu out.
But she pushed him away: “I’m fine, I’m perfectly fine. My stomach has healed. After today, we’ll put the plan… hiccup, on the agenda. Xun Wu, after we finish this job, you…you can leave.”
Xun Wu laughed in exasperation: “Where did you learn this ‘discarding the millstone after it has served its purpose’ tactic? Boss, I’m not trying to be mean, but so many years have passed, do you really still love that dead man that much? That idiot just mentioned him to you, and you got so heartbroken that you came here to drown your sorrows? I’m truly amazed that this ‘dead man literature’ has actually appeared in my life.”
“I’ve long forgotten him. What’s making me sad is something else, Xun Wu. Woo, woo, I think I’ve done something wrong.” Jiang Nanshu sobbed, looking at him with red eyes.
Xun Wu: “…”
He turned his head away, unable to bear watching, and said, “Don’t cry in front of me, damn it.”
This was the first time Jiang Nanshu had cried so bitterly.
So she could cry too. Xun Wu’s first thought was this.
He resignedly took Jiang Nanshu to the hospital and carried her for a while.
“Boss, you’re too thin. I feel so light carrying you. Tsk, tsk, eat more.” Xun Wu muttered, trying to persuade her.
Although Jiang Nanshu had long since fallen into a deep sleep, when she went to the emergency room that evening, they found out that she did indeed have a stomach problem.
Xun Wu stayed by her bedside, watching her receive her IV drip.
Which secretary was as dedicated as he was?
He was truly convinced; Jiang Nanshu absolutely had to give him a raise!
While he was lost in thought, Xun Wu was startled to hear Jiang Nanshu speak. Seeing that she was still unconscious, he frowned with unease.
He couldn’t resist leaning closer and heard Jiang Nanshu’s barely audible three words: “Lu Qingyan.”
Xun Wu paused, slightly taken aback.
Lu Qingyan? Was it a name he was eating?
…
More than half a year later, Jiang Nanshu had a dream.
The first thing she dreamed about was Lu Qingyan.
It seemed to be winter where he was. He was facing away from her, his figure even thinner.
His feet sank deeper and deeper into the snow.
Jiang Nanshu only realized when she got closer that he had come to the hospital.
Someone respectfully greeted him and led him inside. He remained expressionless throughout, simply following the person numbly.
Why did he go to the hospital?
Was he sick?
Jiang Nanshu wanted to follow.
But she found herself blocked outside, unable to get any closer.
Time ticked by. Three hours later, Lu Qingyan finally emerged.
He was wrapped up in a thick coat, with someone holding a large umbrella for him from behind.
Jiang Nanshu followed him the whole way, keeping just the right distance.
