Shen Jinxi felt it wouldn't do. Fu Jingshu was not a good person and didn't deserve Mommy. He puffed out his cheeks and said, "I like Auntie Qing, but to have her as my Mommy, I don't think it's okay."
"Why?"
Fu Jingshu was curious.
Shen Jinxi hummed and rolled over, lying on the bed, fiddling with his little fingers. "Look, Auntie Qing is pretty, but the prettier a woman is, the harder she is to handle! Beautiful roses all have thorns!"
Fu Jingshu's mind conjured up Shen Qing's beautiful face. She was indeed beautiful.
He had seen many women, all with their own charms, but Shen Qing's beauty was still unparalleled.
"Daddy, I think I'd rather not have a Mommy," Shen Jinxi, a little imp, deliberately put on a scared look to make Fu Jingshu listen to him. "The previous Mommy was not good to me at all. I think it's fine without a Mommy. I only need Daddy!"
The little guy's big eyes blinked, filled with sincerity.
Hearing Shen Yaoyao's name, Fu Jingshu's expression darkened slightly. He whispered, "Since you don't like it, then forget it."
Shen Jinxi hadn't expected him to give up on the idea of a Mommy so easily, which made him unhappy.
That stinky man, he really isn't a good person!
Likes come fast and go fast, what a player!
He huffed, rolled over, and closed his eyes, ready to sleep and ignore him.
Fu Jingshu frowned slightly. The child's resistance to the topic of a new Mommy must have been because Shen Yaoyao had hurt him. For a moment, he hated Shen Yaoyao even more.
As for Shen Qing...
He slowly closed his eyes. For some reason, that woman's face in his mind became clearer and clearer.
He opened his eyes, a trace of annoyance flashing in his eyes, forcefully pushing the woman's face away before he slowly fell asleep.
The next day, Shen Qing arrived at work early. As soon as she entered Fu's, she went straight to Fu Jingshu's office. Thinking she would get the special medicine, her mood improved, and she smiled, "Master Fu, good morning."
Fu Jingshu glanced at her indifferently. "Mm."
Such a cold attitude?
Shen Qing paused but didn't mind. "Master Fu, I'm here to get the special medicine. You should have prepared it, right?"
Fu Jingshu didn't answer. He slowly signed his name on the document, closed it, then pulled open the drawer and placed a palm-sized box on the table.
Shen Qing opened it. Inside was a syringe filled with a transparent liquid. This was the special medicine that could save Zhang Xiaotao's brother. She closed the box and took out a card from her pocket to hand over.
"Here, the price we agreed on, every penny is in the card."
Fu Jingshu raised his chin slightly, gesturing for her to place the card on the table, but he didn't reach out to take it.
"Master Fu, are you going to take this money or not? If you want it, take it. If not, I'll take it back." Shen Qing asked with a half-smile. This man was truly strange. Yesterday he was following her and faking illness, so why was he now afraid of her like a tiger or leopard?
Fu Jingshu paused, seemingly not expecting her to ask so directly. "Chenchen said that beautiful roses all have thorns."
Shen Qing was speechless. "So that's why you're keeping your distance from me?"
"Yes."
Seeing his serious expression, Shen Qing couldn't help but feel amused. "Alright, since Master Fu wants to keep his distance from me, I won't shamelessly cling to you. I have things to do today, so I'll take my leave."
She eagerly took the special medicine and prepared to go to the hospital to find Zhang Xiaotao.
When she arrived at the hospital, she took the special medicine directly to the ward, but in the corridor, she saw patients peeking out their heads, looking towards the staircase, as if there was something exciting happening.
She walked closer and finally saw what was going on.
Several men had cornered Zhang Xiaotao in the stairwell.
"Zhang Xiaotao, are you going to pay up today or not?"
"Boss, this girl looks pretty good. Why don't we take her to the club? She's not a super beauty, but she's like plain porridge and small dishes, someone will like her."
The boss was tempted and began to size up Zhang Xiaotao, his gaze like that of a butcher evaluating pork, filled with consideration and scrutiny, as if appraising her worth.
Zhang Xiaotao's face turned pale with fear. She pleaded, "No, I'll pay you back. Please give me more time. My brother needs surgery now. After my brother's surgery, I'll go and earn money. I will definitely repay you!"
The boss refused to listen to her excuses. "Can you afford to repay it? You owe us two hundred thousand, and with compounding interest, it's now five hundred thousand. Zhang Xiaotao, if you can produce fifty thousand yuan right now, I'll believe you."
Zhang Xiaotao's legs went weak, and she sat on the ground.
Five hundred thousand?
Even if she sold herself, she couldn't afford it!
The boss directly reached out to grab Zhang Xiaotao. Seeing that she was still holding a bowl of medicine, he snatched it and poured it into a flowerpot. Zhang Xiaotao got up from the ground to stop him.
But the boss shoved her away, and her back hit the wall. She bit her lip in pain.
"Hmph, what medicine are you still taking? Your sickly brother should have died long ago. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have come to us for a loan. Now you'll come with us. When you pay us back is no longer up to you."
The boss reached out to grab Zhang Xiaotao. Just as he was about to touch her, his backside was kicked, and he fell face-first onto the ground.
The younger brothers beside him were startled and glared angrily at the woman who suddenly appeared. "Who are you to dare lay a hand on our boss? Are you tired of living?"
Shen Qing didn't bother with them. She kicked each of them, sending the men tumbling onto their boss.
He had already hit his chin on the ground, tears welling up from the pain. Now, he was heavily slammed from behind, and with a yelp, he almost couldn't catch his breath.
The younger brothers quickly scrambled up and helped their boss, but they didn't dare to act rashly.
Judging from the woman's skillful and fierce movements, she was a martial artist. They hadn't even seen how she made her move. They had encountered a tough opponent.
Shen Qing helped Zhang Xiaotao up, brushed the dust off her, and looked coldly at the group of men supporting each other. That kick just now was still too light.
The boss clutched his chin and gritted his teeth. "I'm warning you, you'd better not meddle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman took a step towards him. He instinctively took a step back, only to feel his chin hurt even more.
Shen Qing scoffed disdainfully. "You owe him money, so you pay him back. That's not a reason to bully people. You like bullying people so much, you probably haven't tasted what it's like to be bullied."
She stepped forward with a cold smile. Although the younger brothers were timid, they still wanted to protect their boss. As a result, she knocked them down one by one with a punch.
The boss tried to fight back, but she grabbed his hands and pulled him towards the flowerpot. She kicked his knee, and with a bang, the man knelt on the ground.
She placed her knee on his back, forcing the man to bend over, his face almost buried in the soil of the flowerpot.
"What are you doing?"
"I think your brain is also quite ill. Then you should eat all the medicine you poured out. Don't waste it."
