Chapter 21

Yu Huai looked at his bulging clothes without moving his hands. “Old people are like this when they get old. You can let me do the acupuncture points I pierced, or you can rub them more often. You also have to pay close attention and observe them. If there are any changes, go to the hospital.”

Xu Jiangshu smiled and said, “Comrade Yu, I showed the prescription you wrote to the old doctor at the hospital. He said it was brilliant. With your skills and abilities, why can you only be a nanny? I think Comrade Yu will become a renowned doctor in the future.”

Yu Huai stretched out his hand to catch the gentle breeze in the air, “Thank you for your blessing! I will definitely do my best!”

Soon they arrived at No. 99 Pingjiang Road. Xu Jiangshu parked at the door. Yu Huai jumped out of the back seat, reached out to take the things, and thanked him with a smile: “Thank you very much. It’s a blessing that you showed up in time, otherwise I would have come back drenched in sweat carrying so many things.”

Yu Huai was holding the vegetables and fish in one hand and expressing her feelings exaggeratedly, with a sincere face. She had met very few people who showed kindness to her in this world, and most of them were exchanged by her for something of equal value. Even in the past, it was the same. The maintenance of a relationship depends on the efforts of both parties to give to each other, whether it is emotional value, money or interests.

For someone like Yu Huai, who comes from a not-so-good family, she has to weigh the pros and cons of what a boyfriend can bring to herself and to others. But at the same time, she longs for pure, passionate and deep love.

This kind of love can be anything, friendship, romance, or something else.

As long as the person on the other side can take this step braver than her, Yu Huai will definitely not let that person down.

Sometimes, Yu Huai would be amused by her own naive, little girl thoughts. After constantly denying herself, she would devote all her energy to her work.

Xu Jiangshu… was very good. There was even some tenderness in his eyes when he looked at her. Tenderness… tenderness. It had been a long time since I saw tenderness in someone’s eyes. It was only when I was a child and my parents were still by my side that it appeared.

You see, even the fatherly and motherly love that should be innate in this world will be transferred, not to mention other things.

But when facing Xu Jiangshu, Yu Huai always feels a little ashamed, no matter whether he is the Yu Huai of the past or the Yu Huai of the present.

She secretly told herself that they were all human beings, they all had one nose and one eye. She worked so hard and was so outstanding, so why should she feel ashamed of herself?

But she grew up in an extremely realistic world, and was influenced by the big dye vat of this world. Her parents kicked her around like a rolling ball. When she grew up, she found boyfriends either because of her youth or because she was a disciple of a famous doctor. When breaking up, she said the most heartbreaking words without any scruples.

She is a burden.

She is not well off and has no one to support her, so why does she have such unrealistic dreams?

A person’s destiny is determined at birth, and the biggest dividing line between people is amniotic fluid.

Even though Yu Huai knew that life would eventually return to zero, you have been slowly looking for yourself since childhood, getting confused, making mistakes, and then suddenly realizing that in the end you are actually looking for your original self.

But what’s the use of that?

Xu Jiangshu still looked at her with a look that Yu Huai couldn’t stand.

He propped up the bicycle and said, “It’s okay. I’ll leave this bicycle with you. I don’t use it much, so you can use it for the time being.”

“Huh? Really, there’s no need.”

Xu Jiangshu shrugged his shoulders like her and walked forward quickly. Yu Huai took two steps forward, but he was carrying too many things in his hands and his steps were not as big as his, so he soon fell behind.

Xu Jiangshu turned around and waved to Yu Huai with a smile, “Wait for me to come back and get it in two days!”

The man’s handsome face was particularly dazzling in the sunlight, so bright that Yu Huai could hardly open his eyes.

She couldn’t help laughing.

On the second floor, a man standing in front of the window watched quietly, the cigar in his hand burning forward little by little. The smoke floated up, blurring his entire face, and the curling white smoke wrapped around the man’s outline like spider silk.

When the smoke rings passed over the amber pupils, a cold light flashed as if a poisonous snake spitted out its tongue. The Adam’s apple rolled up and down with the movement of puffing and puffing, forming a dangerous arc at the neck.

He suddenly chuckled, and the mist from between his teeth blended with the smoke from the cigarette, which seemed a little chilly in the bright sunlight. His eyes were like poisoned blades, piercing through the swirling smoke and piercing the woman downstairs accurately.

Yu Huai carried the things into the kitchen, then went out to push the bicycle in and to the parking lot at the back, far away from Chi Xu’s collection of ten colors of cars. No one knew where he got so many colors of cars in this era.

She circled the bicycle twice, feeling a little happy. She reached out and wiped the dirt off the frame.

Brand new.

At noon, Aunt He prepared another full banquet. Chi Xu came down from upstairs and had a simple meal. Then she came down to eat at a certain time. After the meal, she patted her butt and left. When would she, Yu Huai, be able to live such a life?

After cleaning up the food, Yu Huai ate two large bowls of rice with the leftovers. In fact, they could have cooked them again, but Aunt He felt it was a waste. Not only Aunt He felt it, but Yu Huai also felt it, especially for some dishes, which Chi Xu didn’t even pick up with a chopstick.

After eating, Yu Huai rolled back to his nest to sleep. However, halfway through his sleep, there was a knock on the door, and Aunt He’s voice rang out from outside, “Xiao Yu, wake up. Mr. Chi asked you to go to the study on the second floor, Xiao Yu?”

Yu Huai turned over and sat up, rubbed his face dejectedly, put on his clothes resignedly and went upstairs.

After knocking on the door, a voice came from inside, and Yu Huai went in. She stood obediently at the door, “Boss Chi, what do you want to talk to me about?”

Chi Xu didn’t know what he was looking at, and without raising his head, he said, “Wait a moment.”

Yu Huai waited for more than ten minutes, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she couldn’t help but shout again, “Mr. Chi?”

Chi Xu then raised his dignified head and tapped the table lightly with his fingers, “Can’t you even wait for this little while?”

Yu Huai understood that this grandson was deliberately torturing her here.

This man is ill again.

Yu Huai chuckled dryly, “Mr. Chi, it’s not that I don’t want to stand, it’s just that my useless body can’t stand. You can see how small I am. If I suddenly faint after standing for a long time, wouldn’t that cause you more trouble?”

Chi Xu leaned back in his chair and tapped his hands twice on the table. “Then come here and help me organize the information.”

Yu Huai hurried over and said, “Boss Chi, I’m the best at organizing information. What do you want to organize?”

Chi Xu pointed at the pile and said, “Arrange them from the beginning to the end according to the contract type and the signing time.”

“No problem, leave it to me!” Yu Huai rolled up his sleeves and assured Chi Xu, then was about to go out with the pile of contracts.

Chi Xu reached out and hooked her collar and pulled her back, “Where are you going?”

Yu Huai said innocently, “I won’t bother Mr. Chi anymore. I’ll go downstairs.”

Could Chi Xu not understand what she meant?

“Right here.”

He leaned slightly to the side and stretched out one leg, “Sit up and I’ll tidy it up right here.”
