Chapter 645 - I Dont Need You Take Responsibility (5) (1/2)

She was being misunderstood by the man she loved. She was too embarrassed to tell him that she was poor and had only had 200 in her purse. She hadn’t been able to afford to foot his bill, so she had no choice but to take the money from his wallet.

She paused for a moment and then said, “Goodbye, Mr. Shen.”

Hanging up, her expression was calm once again.

It seemed that they had never been meant to be.

Although she was poor, her love did not carry a price tag.

What she wanted was a mutually respectful relationship, not be looked down on.

Four days later, Xia Yehua had recovered enough to be discharged and return home, where she would continue with her treatment.

Together with Qiao Lian and the rest, Xia Nuannuan returned to their family villa.

Qiao Lian prepared a guest room for Xia Nuannuan and left the girl to rest alone before she went to check on Xia Yehua’s condition.

Her condition had improved over the last four days, and she had regained sensation on the right side of her body. Even when she spoke, her words were clear. Overall, it was a great improvement.

After seeing Xia Yehua, she went to the study to look for Shen Liangchuan. As she pushed the door to the study, she saw that he was on a video conference with his back to her.

Song Cheng was on the screen reporting the latest developments, “… for Ambition’ s production, Lu Nanze has withdrawn his capital. But the production isn’t suffering any losses. The leading actress has been replaced by Best Actress Tang Ying. Apart from that, the other investments that you mentioned… Brother Shen, are we really moving in the direction of property investments? After all, it’s hard to predict market forces. What if we suffer a loss—”

Shen Liangchuan replied unhurriedly, “We’re investing for sure.”

Song Cheng felt at a loss. “Brother Shen, I recall that when I suggested other types of investments years ago, you said you were happy just by having enough to spend. But what are you doing now? Trying to make a quick buck?!”

Shen Liangchuan cast his gaze down and kept silent.

But he thought to himself that it had indeed been the case… before he met Lu Nanze.

He was happy with having just enough to spend.

But now, if he didn’t grow stronger, how was he going to protect her?

This time he had been able to depend on his childhood friends for help.
