Chapter 51
Ou Doudou's wedding ended, and Yu Shu did not stay long in Yunnan. She returned to Rongcheng the next day.
In the study of the main bedroom in her apartment, there was a built-in safe that used to only hold the property certificate. Now it was stuffed full with jade.
Feeling happy~
Money came too fast and easy. In addition to feeling happy, there was also uneasiness and anxiety. Yu Shu would sometimes feel dizzy, as if she was not stepping on solid ground but clouds and fog that could dissipate at any time, making her fall hard from high above.
So, donating 1.8 million can help relieve the shock.
In the past few months, Yu Shu did not stop doing charity work. On one hand, she found comfort and a sense of reality from charity work. On the other hand, she did not know why she suddenly had such good fortune, but doing good deeds is always right.
After simply tidying up, Yu Shu went to the hospital to see Yu Feng.
Yu Feng was getting better. He no longer needed crutches and could walk briskly. He still had a slight limp but it did not affect his daily life. He and Uncle Zhang were now like brothers, calling each other brothers. They got along very well with each other.
They had lunch at a restaurant near the hospital. Afterwards, Yu Shu went to a beauty salon to treat herself.
She got full body treatment from hair care to pedicure, and even had chiropractic adjustment. Her bones made crisp cracking sounds under the chiropractor’s manipulations, accompanied by piercing pain coming out from the bone marrow. When Yu Shu got off the massage bed, she had almost lost sensation from the pain.
Yu Shu often heard people say “It’s amazing to be good-looking!”. Now she really wanted to say, being good-looking is truly, truly amazing! Let alone the huge expenditure, just the painful process is unbearable for ordinary people. Like Yu Fanxing, meticulous maintenance every day for decades, at least 10 hours a week at the gym.
Not just a couple days or months, but decades.
The price of beauty.
Feeling weak, Yu Shu took out her phone and sent Shen Youlin a message on WeChat: I’m back, want to have dinner together tonight?
Shen Youlin: [Video]
The video showed a furry Samoyed. It was wearing an Elizabethan collar around its neck, whimpering as it lay in its dog bed. Its eyes were full of indignation. Behind the camera, Shen Youlin called out “Dou’e”. The dog got up and responded to its name.
Yu Shu: Is Dou’e sick?
Shen Youlin: Cut ties with his three thousand lovers
Yu Shu: *speechless*
Yu Shu: Come out for dinner. What do you want to eat?
Shen Youlin: Anything is fine, you decide.
Where to eat was unimportant at all. Shen Youlin had an angelic smile on his face.
Dou'e couldn't help but shudder. When he lost his balls, his dad smiled just like that.
Since she was already at the beauty salon, Yu Shu made full use of the services and had the makeup artist doll her up.
She finally decided on a Western restaurant for dinner. Shen Youlin arrived late. Before he even sat down, he threw Yu Shu a gift box.
"This is for you."
Yu Shu caught it and pushed the gift she had prepared for him across the table: “I also prepared a gift for you.”
Shen Youlin raised his eyebrows when he saw the exquisite and gorgeous little box in front of him but did not say anything.
"Let's open them together." After Yu Shu spoke, she opened her gift box.
"Ah—"
"Hahahahaha..."
Screams and loud laughter rang out almost simultaneously, attracting frequent glances from others in the restaurant.
Yu Shu covered her nose without saying a word, her shoulders shaking violently. There was white flour on her hair, face and body. There was also flour on the floor around her feet, along with an open gift box containing a red spring-loaded boxing glove. When the box was opened, the glove shot out and hit her on the nose bridge.
"Hahaha... That's to teach you a lesson for making that sour face at me. You know you were wrong now, don't you?" Shen Youlin sat back leisurely in his chair, extremely smug.
He had planned this while in Hainan. The necklace he gave her earlier was to lower her guard. Thinking of this, Yu Shu couldn’t stop trembling.
"Okay, we're even now. I'll treat for this meal." Shen Youlin happily announced and rang the bell to call the server. "What do you want to eat?"
"Don't pretend. I won't fall for it."
She still did not react. Shen Youlin pretended to stay calm: "Come on, I was just joking..."
Yu Shu lowered her hand covering her nose. There was a patch of bright red blood in her palm that caught the eye.
Yu Shu raised her head. Her nose bridge was red and swollen. Her eyes were filled with tears that she tried hard not to let fall.
It was unclear whether those were tears of pain or something else.
Shen Youlin cursed, "Is your nose prosthetic?! So fragile."
Yu Shu ignored him. She took some napkins and wiped the flour and blood off her face. Just then the server came over. Yu Shu's voice slightly trembled, "Can you call me a car, thanks."
Shen Youlin panicked completely: "I...I didn't know it would be so powerful... I... I tested it beforehand. It wasn't supposed to hurt..."
Without even glancing at him, Yu Shu picked up her handbag and left. Shen Youlin grabbed her arm: "Let me take you to the hospital!"
"No, thanks." Yu Shu pried his hand open and walked away without looking back.
"Damn!" Shen Youlin messily ruffled his hair in frustration and kicked over the dining table. The clinking sounds of falling plates and glasses rang out.
"It's fine. No bone damage, just soft tissue contusion. Don't worry, it will heal in a few days. Just pay attention to preventing infection and don't get the wound wet. When it heals, your nose will look as nice as before." The doctor kindly reassured Yu Shu after examining the X-rays.
Yu Shu touched the gauze on her face without much fluctuation in her tone as she thanked the doctor.
As soon as she came out of the consulting room, Shen Youlin stuck to her: “How is it? Is it serious? What did the doctor say?"
Yu Shu ignored him and kept walking forward. Shen Youlin persistently followed behind: “I really didn’t mean it. I didn’t know it would be so bad, I...I’m sorry.”
"I'm sorry." Shen Youlin lowered his head looking like an abandoned puppy, closely following her.
Yu Shu still did not pay any attention to him. When she reached the hospital entrance, she took out her phone to call a car.
"Let me give you a ride home!" Shen Youlin spread out his arms to block her way, "I'll take you home. Otherwise for every car you call, I'll chase away one."
Yu Shu looked at him expressionlessly. She knew he would really do that.
Shen Youlin felt unnerved by her gaze. He tugged at the hem of her clothes with two fingers, "Alright?"
Yu Shu walked towards his car. Shen Youlin hurriedly went forward and eagerly opened the car door for her.
