Chapter 122 It’s never him you hate (p. 12)
Not long after Jiang Ming was driven away, Zhou Huai came over and knocked on the door of Shi Ning's office.
Shi Ning looked up and saw that he had opened the door and walked in. He gave him a questioning look, "Is something wrong?"
"Are you planning to starve yourself to death and die in love with Mu Shaochen?"
Zhou Huai raised his hand and tapped the watch on his wrist. It was already past twelve o'clock.
Shi Ning raised his head and glared at him, "If you can't speak, you don't have to speak."
What sacrifice for love?
Mu Shaochen will not die!
There is no need for her to die for love.
But in my heart, I still felt a lot depressed because of Zhou Huai's unintentional words.
She thought of seeing Mu Shaochen in pain these few times.
When she didn't know it, she didn't know how many times she had experienced such torture.
Thinking of this, she couldn't pretend not to know with peace of mind.
Seeing his hook, Shi Ning felt uncomfortable. Zhou Huai hurriedly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Auntie, please stop crying. If my mother knows that I made you cry, I will be doomed."
"Who's going to cry?"
Shi Ning continued to glare at him.
She won't cry, why should she cry?
"Okay, okay, you're not crying, I just want to cry. Can I go to dinner now?"
Zhou Huai quickly coaxed her.
Shi Ning also felt that he was a little unreasonable, but he was really in no mood to go out.
He just shook his head and said, "I won't go. Come back and bring me a copy."
"Okay, what do you want to eat?"
Zhou Huai saw that she was not very interested, so he didn't force her.
Shi Ning was confused for a while and didn't think about what he wanted to eat. "Whatever, I can eat anything."
Zhou Huai's lips moved, but in the end he said nothing and turned around to go out.
After he left, Shi Ning was the only one left in the office.
At this moment, the sudden ringtone of the cell phone rang.
Seeing a series of unfamiliar numbers, her heartbeat paused for a moment.
She took a deep breath to steady her mind before pressing the answer button.
"Girl..."
The gloomy voice and the familiar opening words made Shi Ning unconsciously tighten her fingers holding the phone.
She pursed her lips, walked to the sofa and sat down.
He pulled another pillow over and held it in his arms, feeling a sense of security.
Every time she heard Shi Zhentian's voice, her skin would automatically wake up to the pain of subcutaneous injections.
"Is Mu Shaochen's condition much better now?"
Regardless of whether she responded or not, Shi Zhentian's confident and proud voice sounded again.
"no!"
Shi Ning's face was sullen and his tone was cold, "Your medicine is useless at all. He will still feel uncomfortable and unable to eat."
"I told you that the medicine will take a month to cure him. It's not a magic pill, it can be cured after just a few meals."
Amused by her angry words, Shi Zhentian still patiently explained.
After all, Shi Ning was his most successful and a suitable experimental subject.
He still has this bit of patience.
"It didn't help at all and his symptoms didn't get any better."
Shi Ning continued to deny.
"Don't lie to me. I know more about my own medicine than you do."
Shi Zhentian's voice suddenly turned cold, "Do you still want the antidote? If so, go to the cigarette factory on Tianyuan Road in the north of the city by yourself before dark tomorrow. If you don't want Mu Shaochen to die, you'd better not give it. I’m playing tricks!”
Shi Ning frowned and wanted to bargain, "I'm not a fool. When the time comes, if you let someone take me away, won't Mu Shaochen still not be able to get the antidote?"
"You can choose to believe me or not. You only have this one chance."
Shi Zhentian laughed darkly and cut off the phone without giving Shi Ning a chance to speak.
This girl was full of evil intentions, and he never thought of convincing her.
It was just two choices before her that forced her to make a choice.
After hanging up the phone, Shi Ning stared at the phone in a daze for a while.
Soon, her cell phone rang, waking her up from her reverie.
When she lowered her head and saw the number displayed on her phone, her heart froze for a moment, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
She had an intuition that Mu Shaochen seemed to know that she had just spoken to Shi Zhentian.
Swallowing, she answered the phone.
"what are you doing?"
The man's melodious voice came through the microphone, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness.
Shi Ning's nose was sore, but he still tried to keep his voice calm, "There is something wrong with a work that the company is planning to adapt. I came to the company to deal with it."
She lowered her gaze and stared at her left hand on her thigh.
The slender fingers were sickly white, and the light shone through the window, making them almost transparent.
She clearly saw that her fingers were trembling slightly, to an almost invisible extent.
"Is that done?"
The man's unintelligible voice came from the microphone and hit her eardrums.
Shi Ning was lying.
In front of him, her acting skills have always been very good.
If he hadn't personally monitored the conversation between her and Shi Zhentian just now, he might have really believed it.
However, he had already obtained another way to contact Shi Zhentian from Zhang Zhonghai.
He would not give the other party a chance to hurt Shi Ning.
"I just communicated with the author. The other party is looking for evidence to prove his innocence. It should be able to solve the problem."
Shi Ning's eyes flashed and he briefly revealed the progress here.
Mu Shaochen was noncommittal and did not ask any further questions.
But he suddenly changed the subject and said, "I'm going to find you. I'm almost at your company now. Come out for a moment."
Shi Ning was startled, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed, "Okay."
Anyway, there is nothing going on at the company in the afternoon.
After hanging up the phone, she sent a message to Zhou Huai, telling him not to bring her food.
Zhou Huai seemed to be playing with his mobile phone, and the message came back quickly, [You heartless woman, you are not going to run away again, are you? 】
[Don’t say it so harshly. I am giving you a chance to shine and realize your self-worth. 】
While sending messages and arguing with Zhou Huai, Shi Ning stood up, picked up his bag and coat and walked out of the office.
[Thank you, I don’t really want to be a light bulb. 】
Zhou Huai really wanted to open Shi Ning's head and see what kind of structure it was inside.
Everyone could see that they liked her, except this very nervous woman.
But it's precisely because she didn't see it that he can continue to be her best friend, right?
"Sir, the three delicacies soup and spicy rabbit you want to take away are ready. Can they be delivered to you now?"
There was a knock on the private room door, and the waiter walked in with a smile.
"No need to take it out, I'm not full yet, just bring it to me."
Zhou Huai ground his back molars and gritted his teeth.
It's not like he couldn't finish it.
