Chapter 645: I Don’t Need You Take Responsibility (5)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
She was being misunderstood by the man she loved. She was too embarrassed to tell him that she was poor and had only had 200 in her purse. She hadn’t been able to afford to foot his bill, so she had no choice but to take the money from his wallet.
She paused for a mont and then said, “Goodbye, Mr. Shen.”
Hanging up, her expression was calm once again.
It seed that they had never been ant to be.
Although she was poor, her love did not carry a price tag.
What she wanted was a mutually respectful relationship, not be looked down on.
–
Four days later, Xia Yehua had recovered enough to be discharged and return ho, where she would continue with her treatnt.
Together with Qiao Lian and the rest, Xia Nuannuan returned to their family villa.
Qiao Lian prepared a guest room for Xia Nuannuan and left the girl to rest alone before she went to check on Xia Yehua’s condition.
Her condition had improved over the last four days, and she had regained sensation on the right side of her body. Even when she spoke, her words were clear. Overall, it was a great improvent.
After seeing Xia Yehua, she went to the study to look for Shen Liangchuan. As she pushed the door to the study, she saw that he was on a video conference with his back to her.
Song Cheng was on the screen reporting the latest developnts, “... for Ambition’ s production, Lu Nanze has withdrawn his capital. But the production isn’t suffering any losses. The leading actress has been replaced by Best Actress Tang Ying. Apart from that, the other investnts that you ntioned... Brother Shen, are we really moving in the direction of property investnts? After all, it’s hard to predict market forces. What if we suffer a loss—”
Shen Liangchuan replied unhurriedly, “We’re investing for sure.”
Song Cheng felt at a loss. “Brother Shen, I recall that when I suggested other types of investnts years ago, you said you were happy just by having enough to spend. But what are you doing now? Trying to make a quick buck?!”
Shen Liangchuan cast his gaze down and kept silent.
But he thought to himself that it had indeed been the case... before he t Lu Nanze.
He was happy with having just enough to spend.
But now, if he didn’t grow stronger, how was he going to protect her?
This ti he had been able to depend on his childhood friends for help.
But favours had to be returned.
And what could he really give in return?
His buddies believed in him. He attracted capital, they invested.
Even if there were no kickbacks, or even if they lost that money, it was nothing to them.
But he could not use their money without a clear conscience.
He had to use this money to make more money, so that there was at so value in their investnt. At least, it had to be a real investnt.
It was also so that the people who laughed at them would now shut their mouths.
Without explaining all of this, he simply told Song Cheng, “You may go now.”
Without another word, the latter obediently exited the video conference.
Qiao Lian stood outside the door, biting her lip as she heard the exchange between the two n.
She understood everything that he had not said, everything that was between the lines.
He was willing to make changes for her.
Hence, she had to work hard too.
Silently, Qiao Lian retreated. She did not enter the study, but went back to the master bedroom.
Only when she was back in the master bedroom did she take out her cell phone.
It had been almost half a month since she had resigned from her job. During this ti, too much had happened at ho, to the point that she had failed to think about her own future.
But now...
It was ti for her to think about what she could do.
She didn’t want to be a person who had to depend on Shen Liangchuan, like a parasite. She had to grow stronger too.
The team’s training was being well taken care of by the team leader now. As for her, she had to start looking for a job.
