abbed his foot: “Your Majesty’s foot, I’ve always been thinking about it.”Ning Shu looked at the person, feeling a little embarrassed and wanting to withdraw her foot.But then, he saw the Regent King...Ning Shu discovered that after these people learned he knew Li Yan, their attitude underwent a series of changes.

Especially Cheng Wu, his face kept changing colors as he went back. He specially took the initiative to walk over and said, "Ning Shu, I'll send you back. By the way, I want to ask you some things about my nephew's kindergarten. Would that be okay"

He was taken aback for a moment and politely replied, "Thank you, no need. As for the kindergarten issue, you can ask your nephew's class teacher, I might not be too clear on some aspects."

Cheng Wu wanted to say something more, but just then a sedan pulled up. The person who came out opened the car door and glanced at the young man and said, "Mr. Ning, Mr. Li told me to pick you up."

He then relented, offering a warm and affectionate smile: "I didn't lose my business card, did I Remember to keep in touch."

Ning Shu got into the car, and he knew why Cheng Wu had done this. It was nothing more than wanting to use him to get closer to Li Yan. He lowered his eyes and crumpled the business card the other party had just shoved into his hand again.

....

Ning Shu flipped over, last night Li Yan came back after drinking some alcohol and tossed him around for half the night. It was just that he felt, perhaps because of youth's delusion, that his waist and legs were a little more sore than before.

Li Yan had already gotten up, his long fingers drumming against his tie. He suddenly said, "The person you were with yesterday, are you close to him"

Ning Shu almost couldn't react, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about Cheng Wu"

Li Yan didn't know when he had stood by the bed. His deep, obsidian-like eyes stared at him, his expression unreadable as he asked, "Were you close in high school"

Ning Shu came back to her senses, shook her head, and honestly said, “We’re just acquaintances, not very close.”

Li Yan seemed somewhat satisfied with his answer, saying in a flat tone: "Since we're not familiar, there's no need to contact each other in the future."

Only after the man left did Ning Shu belatedly realize that Li Yan knew his schedule intimately. He couldn't help but furrow his brows, but the soreness in his waist made the young man pay even more attention to it.

He couldn't help but reach out and rub it.

Ning Shu originally thought that Cheng Wu was very likely to come to him recently, but strangely, ever since the day of the alumni gathering. His phone has become very quiet, not even a single text message has come in.

But Ning Shu did receive the news that her aunt was hospitalized. It was her long-lost cousin who called.

When the original owner was taking the college entrance exam, something happened at home. His aunt helped him handle the aftermath during that time, but his aunt's family wasn't well-off either and couldn't do much to help. Besides, she had two other children, and naturally, the children didn't like Ning Shu and wished he would stay as far away from home as possible. So, over the years, they haven't been in touch much.

Ning Shu knew the original owner remembered this kindness, so he thought about it and still went to visit the original owner's aunt.

Her aunt has been hospitalized for half a year now, undergoing chemotherapy, medication, and surgery. It's all taken a toll on the family. When she saw Ning Shu, she just wiped away her tears and asked if she had received the money Ning Shu sent years ago.

Ning Shu knew she was a good person, otherwise she wouldn't have secretly sent money to the original owner. But the original owner knew she had her own difficulties at home, so she returned the money to her cousin.

My cousin asked him to stop contacting their family, and the original owner felt a little guilty, so he hasn't contacted them in all these years.

Auntie's emotions shouldn't fluctuate too much. Ning Shu closed the door. The cousin across said, "Ning Shu, you also saw my mom's current situation. Do you still have a conscience You'd rather watch her suffer here. I already heard that you know Mr. Li from the Li Corporation, climbed high branches, and forgot how my mom helped your family back then"

His words were filled with righteous indignation, and the way he looked at the young man was as if he were staring at a white-eyed wolf.

Ning Shu said calmly, "I'll find a way to repay my aunt. But it was you who made me leave in the first place."

My uncle's face changed slightly, and then he said, "My mother's surgery costs hundreds of thousands of yuan. We don't have that much money."

Ning Shu also frowned and said, "I don't have that much either. I'll try my best to take out all my money."

"Your cousin couldn't help but say, "Don't you know Mr. Li He's so rich, hundreds of thousands wouldn't even be a small amount to him"

Ning Shu looked up at him and said, "That's his money, not mine."

His older brother muttered under his breath.

Looking at the young man, I just want to jump up and kill him.

....

When Ning Shu came back to the hospital, he couldn't find anyone in the ward. The nurse told him that the patient in this ward had been moved to a new ward.

He couldn't help but be startled, and was led by the nurse into a private ward.

Uncle's family was beaming with joy. Aunt lay in bed and, seeing Ning Shu, said with some trepidation, "Ningning, do you know the boss surnamed Li"

"Mom, I told you, Ning Shu is just a friend," Uncle said immediately. "Don't worry about this illness."

Auntie didn't pay him any mind and looked at Ning Shu, saying: "Perhaps I owe someone a favor, so maybe I should move back to my original ward."

Ning Shu pursed her lips, walked over, and whispered, "It's fine, you can stay here."

Her aunt finally felt a little more at ease, happy that he had such a good friend. She then asked him how he was doing now, and Ning Shu chose the most pleasant things to say.

Uncle listened with a sour expression.

Ning Shu only found out later that Li Yan not only transferred the ward, but also specially invited a famous doctor to perform the surgery. When he came out, he hesitated for a moment, then made a call and thanked Li Yan.

Li Yan said indifferently, "You don't have to go to the hospital separately in the future. I will send someone to take care of her."

Ning Shu listened to the man's low voice, and for some reason, her heart felt like it had been hit hard.

He had just hung up the phone when a melodious and gentle female voice came from behind him: "Ning Shu"

Ning Shu turned around and saw a woman in a white dress standing in place.

Lin Mengjia smiled at him: "It's a coincidence, how are you here in the hospital"

Two minutes later, the two people sat on a bench in the hospital garden.

Lin Mengjia said, "My younger brother is sick, I came over to accompany him. What about you"

Ning Shudao: "My aunt is also sick."

After a brief chat, Lin Mengjia asked again, “Ning Shu, why haven't you been in touch with us all these years”

She said, "Do you remember Back then, when you were outside school, you helped me scare away a little hooligan. I still remember it."

Ning Shu fell silent for a moment, then said, “It’s what I should do.”

Lin Mengjia, however, looked at him with a hesitant expression. Then she clenched her fist and said, "You're different from before..."

Ning Shu felt a bit awkward. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I have something to attend to, so I'll go back first. Wishing your brother a speedy recovery."

Lin Mengjia stood up and said, "I'd like to treat you to a meal as a way of thanking you for what you did back then. Would that be alright"

Ning Shu didn't speak. Even if he was slow-witted, he could probably sense Lin Mengjia's attitude.

In the end, he agreed. If the other party really had that idea, they should have been upfront about it earlier.

Lin Mengjia smiled and said, "Okay then, see you Saturday."

....

As Li Yan said, he found a caregiver to take care of him and didn't have to worry about anything. However, Ning Shu would still go to the hospital to see him. Sometimes Li Yan would look at him gloomily and then say lightly, "Ning Shu, how come I didn't know you were so sentimental before They weren't bad to you, were they"

Ning Shu didn't know how to explain it to him. It wasn't that she was being heartless. She was just following the original owner's wishes and repaying this kindness.

A young man, carrying fruit, knocked on the door.

But the atmosphere in the ward was strange. When his aunt saw him, she hurriedly beckoned him over: "Ningning."

Ning Shu walked over and asked, "What's wrong Is the condition not ideal"

Aunt hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you very close friends with that friend"

Ning Shuxin felt a tightness in her chest, thinking she had figured something out. She nodded.

Aunt sighed and said, “That’s good, that’s good. We held you back.”

He smiled and said, "You should get well soon."

When Ning Shu stepped out of the house, she heard voices from outside: "...the conditions are so good, who wouldn't agree It's only a fool..."

"You said, why would President Li do this... what's he after..."

"He was about to say '...a grudge against Ning Shu...' when his older brother, caught sight of the young man and quickly stopped himself."

Ning Shu couldn't quite hear what they were saying, and it didn't sound like anything good anyway. He didn't stay long, glanced at the time, and realized it was almost time to meet Lin Mengjia.

Then he walked out of the hospital.

Then, she took a taxi to the place Lin Mengjia had mentioned. When Ning Shu arrived at her destination, she realized it was an old store from when the original owner was in high school, selling desserts, coffee, and snacks.

Lin Mengjia sat in her seat, wearing a very pretty dress.

Ning Shu walked over and politely asked, "I'm not late, am I"

Lin Mengjia quickly shook her head and said, "No." She took the menu and looked at it, saying, "I remember you like this..."

Ning Shu followed her gaze without interrupting. Actually, that was the original owner's taste, not his.

Lin Mengjia smiled shyly and said, "I remember you used to order this and bring it to the classroom often."

They sat face to face for a while, most of the time Lin Mengjia was reminiscing about high school. She bit her lip and then said a little nervously, "Ning Shu, over all these years, how many girlfriends have you had"

Ning Shu looked over and opened her mouth, saying: "One." She lowered her eyes and said: "He is talking now."

Lin Mengjia almost knocked things over, her face turned pale. She forced a smile and said, "Then she must be very excellent."

Ning Shu softly hummed in response.

He silently apologized to her in his heart. He wasn't intentionally lying; sometimes people need to tell white lies.

....

And at the same time.

The driver gave Li Yan a call and hesitated, "Mr. Li, after Mr. Ning came out of the hospital today, he met a woman." great."Ning Shu gave her a gentle smile.Originally seated in the main seat, Pei Sinan raised his eyes and looked over, giving a faint glance at the young man who was just retracting his smile. His ey...
