Chapter 2437 Two Women Meet

Zhao Shucheng didn't want Lin Yue to really drink too much. After all, he would have to support Lin Yue, and his body would be stained with the smell of perfume. When he returned home, he would definitely be questioned by Luo Yiren.

Lin Yue seemed to have realized what Zhao Shucheng meant, so she put down her wine glass and left the bar with Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng drove Lin Yue to the house he mentioned. Although it was not as big as the villa where Zhao Shucheng and Luo Yiren lived now, it was also a large flat.

After Lin Yue came in and saw the layout of the room, a hint of envy suddenly flashed in her eyes. This was the house she had always dreamed of, but to Zhao Shucheng it was just an empty house.

"That's the bedroom. There are toiletries and home clothes in there. They're all unworn. You can use them as you like. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."

"Thank you."

Seeing Zhao Shucheng preparing to leave, Lin Yue suddenly asked, "Is there any wine at home?"

"Wine? Let me think about it, there might be some, but it was given as a gift when I bought the house, and I also bought some myself. But I'm not sure if I can still drink it. I have to go and check it out."

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng went straight to the kitchen, opened the cabinet, and saw the wine stored inside.

"Lin Yue, do you drink red wine, beer, or white wine? Foreign wine?"

At this time, Lin Yue followed Zhao Shucheng to the kitchen and naturally saw a cabinet full of wine, red, white, and yellow.

"All of these? Are you collecting them? If so, forget it. They shouldn't be cheap, right?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Of course not. If it was a treasured or collected wine, I wouldn't put it here. I rented a wine cellar myself to store wine. The wine here is all for my own drinking."

Lin Yue held a wine glass and Zhao Shucheng held red wine, and the two sat on the sofa and drank together.

Seeing that Lin Yue was a little drunk, Zhao Shucheng said, "One last drink, don't drink any more. Although your tumor is benign, drinking too much is not a good thing."

"Can't you just let me get drunk for once?"

"You're already drunk."

"I'm not drunk. I know whether I'm drunk or not. Mr. Zhao, you know, I haven't been drunk for ten years."

"Just you, really? Have you never been drunk since Tang Xiaogang left?"

Lin Yue nodded, as if lost in memory, and said: "Yes, since that time, I have never been drunk again. That night I was drunk and had sex with Tang Xiaogang, but he disappeared. I told myself that I would never get drunk again and never give others such an opportunity again."

"Don't think I'm bragging. I can control myself. Every morning when I wake up, I feel like there are so many things weighing on my mind that I can't breathe. Sometimes I think about just passing out."

"But I can't do that. I have to hold on like this. As for the three men in my family, if I don't arrange things properly, they will make the house a mess. Also, if I don't consider anything, my colleague will become my boss in a minute."

"I'm just wondering, how am I worse than them? I'm smarter than them, more hardworking than them, more self-disciplined than them, and more rigorous than them, but why can't I be better than them?"

Seeing Lin Yue like this, Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Because of your self-discipline and hard work. There is an old saying that goes, the crying child gets the milk. And you didn't fight for your rights, so even if you do well, your leaders can't see it, or turn a blind eye, you won't have a chance to stand out."

"Yes, I have always believed that I can live a decent life on my own, I can achieve some success in my career, and I can pursue a happy life. But why is it so difficult to persevere?"

Lin Yue suddenly leaned back on the sofa and said, "I finally understand now. No matter how strong a person is, he can't change his fate. How does the saying go? A heart is higher than the sky, but a life is thinner than paper. I, that's me."

As she spoke, Lin Yue shed tears and said, "How could God be so cruel to me? Why was she so anxious to take me away?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "You are too pessimistic now. You must be drunk and it affects your thinking. Don't forget that your condition is benign. As long as you take medicine and take care of yourself after the operation, you will still be a healthy person in the future."

Lin Yue shook her head and said, "You make it sound easy, but my current family situation doesn't allow me to do this. Tang Xiaogang paid the down payment for our house, and I asked Ding Renjian to return the money to Tang Xiaogang, but he kept dragging his feet. I know that he doesn't have the money at all, and he was just lying to me."

"It's ridiculous. We've been together for so many years, but we don't have any savings. We only have that old, run-down house, but three generations of our family have to live in it."

Zhao Shucheng said: "If it's just a matter of money, you don't have to worry too much. I can lend it to you first."

Lin Yue looked at Zhao Shucheng with drunken eyes and said, "No, I can't do anything to let my husband down."

Zhao Shucheng was speechless for a moment, thinking that Lin Yue was thinking too much. He was not a thief, so how could he think about such a thing? Even though Lin Yue was a little pretty, Zhao Shucheng could not take advantage of her.

"No, what are you thinking? I have a girlfriend."

"That won't work either. We'd be doing them a disservice if we did that."

Zhao Shucheng didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't seem to have said anything that would cause misunderstanding. How could Lin Yue imagine so many things?

"Lin Yue, you seem to be really drunk. I said I can lend you money, but you need to pay it back. You said before that you work in an advertising company and you are quite capable, but you have never been promoted. I am from a headhunting company and can recommend you to other companies to get a higher position and salary. Then you can easily pay back the money for medical treatment."

Lin Yue was stunned for a moment after hearing this, looked at Zhao Shucheng a little embarrassedly, and said, "Is this what you are talking about?"

"What else? What do you think I'm going to say? You really are drunk. Go to bed early. I'm going back too."

Having said that, Zhao Shucheng stood up without hesitation and left.

When she returned home, Luo Yiren saw Zhao Shucheng and hurried over to help him change his clothes.

But just after taking off Zhao Shucheng's coat, he suddenly put it close to his nose and sniffed it, but didn't say anything. Zhao Shucheng said: "Why don't you ask me what I did?"

"If you want to tell me, you will tell me naturally."

Zhao Shucheng knew that although Luo Yiren didn't ask, she actually wanted to know in her heart.

"Yiren, don't get me wrong. I was on my way to a party with friends, and on the way I ran into Lin Yue, the woman I met at the hotel before, the woman who was forcibly hugged by the man. She had something wrong, and I was curious and asked her what happened. I didn't expect her to jump into my arms and cry when she saw me."

Roy was skeptical, but after recalling what happened that night, he found that the taste was indeed very similar.

"I didn't say anything. You don't have to explain so much to me."

"I'm just worried that you might be imagining things. Actually, I have nothing to hide from you. If I really change my mind, I will tell you. I won't hide it. So if you have any questions in the future, you can ask me directly instead of holding it in."

Luo Yiren nodded and said, "I see. By the way, have you eaten?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "I really haven't eaten yet. Let's eat together."

The next day.

After Lin Yue woke up from the bed, she found that the place she was in was unfamiliar. She recalled for a long time before she remembered where she was.

She also thought of the conversation with Zhao Shucheng yesterday, and suddenly felt ashamed. Why would she say such words, and to a man she had only met a few times.

Lin Yue took out her cell phone and saw the message from Tang Xiaogang and many missed calls. After hesitating for a long time, she called Tang Xiaogang and said that she could not complete the remaining work. She asked Tang Xiaogang to contact the company and asked her boss to send someone else to contact him.

Tang Xiaogang wanted to meet with Lin Yue again, but Lin Yue declined, saying that she had something to think about.

At noon, Zhao Shucheng received a call from Lin Yue. Upon learning that she accepted his help, he directly transferred the money to Lin Yue, hoping that she could receive treatment as soon as possible and get out of her current predicament.

Luo Yiren saw Zhao Shucheng transferring money to Lin Yue, but she just glanced at Zhao Shucheng and didn't say anything.

Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Luo Yiren, saying, "Don't you have anything to ask?"

"If I ask, will you tell me?"

"Of course, we are a couple and may spend our lives together in the future. There is nothing we need to hide from each other."

Luo Yiren then turned to look at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Then why did you give her money, especially to someone you just met not long ago?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Lin Yue, I told you yesterday. She has a tumor, but her family and her husband just bought a house with a down payment, and they don't have the money for treatment. I happened to know about this, so I wanted to help."

"Is that so?" Luo Yiren looked at Zhao Shucheng with some doubt.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "That's right. Of course, I don't deny it. It's all because Lin Yue is a beauty and she's also an acquaintance of ours. If it was a stranger, I probably wouldn't help her so much. If it was an ugly girl, I might only help her in a limited way."

Seeing that Luo Yiren seemed to be a little upset, Zhao Shucheng rubbed her hair and said, "Of course, more importantly, Lin Yue's ability is not bad, and she is just wasting time in the current company. If I help her this time, I can add some business to the company in the future. Maybe I can pay the money back and even add new connections to the company."

Although Luo Yiren felt that what Zhao Shucheng said was a bit far-fetched, after hearing what Zhao Shucheng said about the emotional entanglement between Lin Yue, Ding Renjian, and Tang Xiaogang, she also felt a little sympathy for Lin Yue.

She couldn't help but think of the complicated relationship between Zheng Qiudong, Lao Bai, and herself when she was in college. At that time, she fell in love with Zheng Qiudong first, and then Zheng Qiudong worked hard to succeed, and she was moved by Lao Bai's perseverance.

If Lao Bai had no health problems and Zheng Qiudong was arrested for suspected pyramid schemes, she might have faced a similar dilemma as Lin Yue. Maybe she would break up with Lao Bai and choose Zheng Qiudong again. Or maybe after marrying Lao Bai, she would waver again because of the appearance of Zheng Qiudong.

This made Luo Yiren feel deep empathy for Lin Yue, so she not only did not think that Zhao Shucheng's help was ill-intentioned, she even took the initiative to ask to follow up on Lin Yue's affairs in the future and asked to visit Lin Yue in the hospital.

Zhao Shucheng had no objection to this. He was not afraid of her knowing about his relationship with Lin Yue. Moreover, he felt that Lin Yue and Luo Yiren were in similar situations. Perhaps if they had more contact, Luo Yiren would change a lot.

Lin Yue went through the hospitalization procedures by herself and even made an appointment for the surgery. When she was hesitating whether to tell Ding Renjian and the others, she unexpectedly saw Luo Yiren coming into the ward.

At first, I thought she was the patient's family member, but when I saw Luo Yiren walking towards me, I felt that this woman looked very familiar. Then I remembered, wasn't this the woman who was with Zhao Shucheng that day?

Thinking of this, Lin Yue suddenly felt guilty. Although there was nothing innocent between her and Zhao Shucheng, she was now living in Zhao Shucheng's house, and even the money for her medical treatment was given by Zhao Shucheng. Could it be that Luo Yiren noticed something and came here to catch them cheating?

Just when Lin Yue was hesitant, Luo Yiren smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Lin, I'm Luo Yiren, Zhao Shucheng's girlfriend."

Lin Yue smiled and nodded, saying, "I know. We met outside the hotel that day. Don't get me wrong. There's nothing going on between Zhao Shucheng and me."

Luo Yiren smiled and said, "I know. After listening to what he said, I felt that I used to be very similar to you, so I came to see you and see if there is anything I can do to help."

As he spoke, Luo Yiren looked inside the ward. It was an ordinary ward, and Lin Yue was sharing a room with other patients.

"By the way, didn't your family come?"

Lin Yue shook her head and said, "I haven't told them yet. I am also hesitating whether I should tell them. After all, if they knew, they would definitely be very flustered, and I haven't figured out how to explain the origin of the money."

Luo Yiren smiled and said, "There's nothing to worry about. We are friends now. You can say that I lent it to you."

Maybe the relationship between women is so wonderful, two people talk as if they have known each other for a long time. Especially when they were both in a dilemma because of two men, they have more common topics.

Lin Yue tentatively asked Luo Yiren if the person she loved most was her first love, but she got an unexpected answer. Luo Yiren was indeed unforgettable about her first love Zheng Qiudong, but the person she loved most now was her current boyfriend Zhao Shucheng.
