Chapter 773: Saving Her Life
Editor: Henyee Translations
i Shu watched Tang i crying, her nose running, tears streaming down her face. She felt both heartache and helplessness, even subconsciously wanting to get up and comfort her.
But as she made a move, she was restrained.
The force wasn’t heavy, but it carried a strong sense of authority.
i Shu glanced slightly upward to Lu Si beside her, eting his cold gaze.
Lu Si returned her gaze, saying, “You just agreed to .”
Helpless, i Shu had no choice but to sit still. However, seeing Tang i like this, she couldn’t bear it.
She spoke up, “With my brother handling company matters, you should rest assured and take a break. Rest up and co back to help at the company when you’re better.”
Tang i sniffled. President i had helped her a lot, and yet she always seed to cause trouble for her. President i never blad her, always caring for her.
“I’m sorry, President i. I swear, I won’t cause you trouble anymore. After this incident, I’ve learned my lesson. I won’t have anything to do with them in the future. Such relatives are worse than having none at all.” i Shu’s tone was earnest, almost as if she were taking an oath.
i Shu couldn’t help but smile at her, sighing when she noticed the injury on her head.
This Tang i reminded her of herself in her past life. The ones who hurt her the most were her own relatives. Leaving aside her stepmother and stepsister, even her father had never shown her an ounce of compassion or care.
So relatives were indeed better off not existing.
“It’s a good thing to see things clearly. It’s a blessing in disguise. Listen to and go ho to rest.” i Shu smiled.
Her face wore a gentle smile, showing no signs of flaws, but Lu Si easily caught a glimpse of her inner thoughts.
She was still talking when she suddenly felt an itch in the palm of her hand.
i Shu tried to shake it off but failed. With annoyance, she glared at the person beside her.
eting her gaze, Lu Si didn’t show any fear. Instead, there was a hint of amusent in his eyes. He even smirked at i Shu.
A gentle breeze brushed past i Shu’s face, causing her to start slightly.
After realizing what had happened, the annoyance in her heart had long dissipated.
i Shu: “…”
Seriously? After facing this face for so long, I can still be swayed by its charm?
i Shu couldn’t help but inwardly scold herself.
Sitting not far away, Tang i saw the interaction between the two, montarily forgetting what she wanted to say.
She couldn’t relax at all, and just as she hesitated for a mont, she missed the perfect opportunity to retort.
i Shu was feeling awkward as well, so she simply didn’t look at Lu Si, allowing him to play with her hand, sotis scratching her palm, sotis pinching her fingers.
Like a child with ADHD.
For now, she needed to comfort Tang i and let her rest assured to go ho for recuperation. So, she temporarily decided to ignore Lu Si, focusing only on Jiang He and Tang i.
“I’ll give each of you a task.” i Shu said.
Upon hearing that there was a task, both of them straightened up, waiting for her to assign it.
i Shu was amused by their almost identical movents, squinting slightly as she observed them. Suddenly, she felt that the two of them, one sitting and the other standing, were quite compatible.
She thought for a mont and said, “Tang i, your task is to go ho and recuperate. This is the task I’ve assigned to you. A good worker shouldn’t refuse the tasks assigned by their superior.”
Tang i’s lips moved, but she couldn’t refuse after i Shu’s indirect request for her to rest. She couldn’t reject it after all.
In the end, she could only nod in agreent.
Jiang He eagerly looked at i Shu, waiting for her to assign him a task.
i Shu then said to Jiang He, “Your task is to supervise Tang i’s rest. If you find her still working at ho, call imdiately.”
As soon as she finished speaking, both Tang i and Jiang He were stunned in place. After a mont, they looked at each other, feeling a bit puzzled.
At this mont, Lu Si, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, “That’s settled then.”
Jiang He: “…”
Master Si, do you still rember that I’m your most reliable subordinate? Isn’t this task a waste of my abilities?
Of course, Jiang He could only think these thoughts silently. Voicing them would be akin to challenging his boss.
He valued his life; he wouldn’t dare.
After Lu Si finished speaking, he looked at i Shu earnestly and said, “When Jiang He isn’t around, I’ll stay at the hospital to watch over you. If I’m not available, let your brothers take turns to stay with you.”
i Shu: “…”
This was just like picking up a stone to hit herself in the foot.
i Shu’s expression froze for a mont. She wanted to argue further, but seeing Lu Si’s serious expression, she gave up. She wasn’t soone who couldn’t distinguish between right and wrong. If this could make Lu Si feel more at ease, then so be it.
She didn’t dwell on it any longer and looked at Tang i, asking her to recount the details of what had happened.
Tang i said that Liu Yue had emphasized before leaving that he had saved her life.
