Chapter 74 -74: Poisonous Childhood Friend (Part 3)
Su Li: “I was thinking wrongly before, but I’ve corrected my thinking now. Isn’t that good?”
“You’ve cleared your thoughts, that’s good. Anyway, your mother and I will only ever have you as a daughter. If you can’t handle it yourself and later give everything to your son-in-law, wouldn’t that be the same as giving it to a stranger? My lifetime of hard work would then be wasted.”
“I know, Daddy.”

Su Li had just returned to her room after breakfast when her phone, decorated with a dazzling array of rhinestones, lit up.
The screen displayed “My Dear.”
Su Li realized that this should be the time when Shi Shen had been in contact with “Su Li” and they were likely in the ambiguous phase of their relationship.
Seeing the name she saved for Shi Shen indicated as much. Although they did not openly acknowledge it, in “Su Li’s” perception, both sides must have had a complete understanding, reaching the level of a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
After all, Shi Shen had never rejected her intimate actions, had he?
Which ordinary friend would hold hands while watching movies, cuddle together, kiss the other’s forehead, and so on…
Su Li let the ringtone echo around the room, glancing at it briefly before continuing to draw her eyebrows.
The phone screen went off and on, off and on, until it finally went silent.
Two days ago, Shi Shen had gone to the hospital to register for full-body organ donation. “Su Li,” wanting to stay consistent with her “boyfriend,” also signed a body donation declaration.
What a foolish girl—this world is never short of deep schemes.
Today, she originally had plans with Shi Shen, but now Su Li decided not to go.
It’s better to stay away from such toxic matters as soon as possible.
Su Li planned to visit the company, thinking it was better to prepare early since she’d decided to inherit her father’s business.
No matter how solid the theoretical knowledge in books is, it still requires practice.
“Ah Zhi, don’t go today, stay here with me, okay?” Ye Ruolan begged with wide, tearful eyes.
Her face pale, she pitifully clung to the hem of Shi Shen’s shirt, her eyes brimming with dependence, reluctance, and jealousy, all too evident.
Shi Shen tenderly stroked Ye Ruolan’s cheek, his face full of struggle.
“Xiao Lan, didn’t we agree on this?”

“As long as Su Li agrees to donate a kidney to you, I will cut off contact with her. Just bear with it a little longer, okay?”
Ye Ruolan’s face showed discomfort and pain. “But watching you talk about love with another woman, my heart feels like it’s being ripped into several pieces, hurting unbearably.”
Shi Shen also felt unbearable pain. “Soon, I know Su Li. She is a kind and soft-hearted girl.”
“Have you started to have feelings for her?” Ye Ruolan lowered her head, her thick eyelashes casting a shadow over her cheeks.
Her gaze hidden behind her eyelids was sinister.
Shi Shen pulled Ye Ruolan into his embrace, “How could that be?”
“Who do I love the most, don’t you know?”
“If it wasn’t for you, how could I go against my own conscience…”
Shi Shen’s words were cut off as he was startled by Ye Ruolan’s tearful face.
“Are you blaming me? If it weren’t for me, you would still be that sunny man, right?”
“Don’t worry about me anymore, let me die, I don’t want to live like this at all.”
Ye Ruolan cried louder and louder until she was hoarse, continuously pounding on Shi Shen’s chest while he held her in his arms.
Shi Shen dared not say anything more as he was deeply afraid of upsetting his girlfriend, and he could only embrace her tightly and keep apologizing.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it.”
“For you, I’m willing to do anything.”
Ye Ruolan said, “Ah Zhi, I’m dragging you down. That, Miss Su is a good girl. Why don’t you just be with her? That way… if something happens to me, I won’t have to worry.”
The last trace of hesitation in Shi Shen’s heart completely vanished amid Ye Ruolan’s tears.
A resolute look appeared in his eyes, and he promised Ye Ruolan, “Don’t worry, Lanny. I will definitely make you better. Then, you will have to wear the most beautiful wedding dress to marry me.”
Ye Ruolan smiled through her tears and said, “Okay, I promise you. If I get better, we’ll get married just like we imagined… I’ll even bear you several lovely children.”
At that moment, their tender embrace was suddenly interrupted.
Someone opened the door of the hospital room from outside.
Ye Ruolan’s mother appeared in front of them, holding a thermos.
The couple who were embracing quickly separated, and Shi Shen awkwardly smiled at Mrs. Ye.
Mrs. Ye’s expression was neutral as she put down the items she was holding, then turned to Shi Shen and said, “Xiao Shi, it’s not that I’m against your relationship. You just have to understand that there’s too much of a difference between you two. Lanny’s father will definitely not agree.”
“Auntie, I…”
“Auntie knows you truly love Lanny, and she is very touched. Her father’s current sentiment is that he wants to see how sincere your feelings for Lanny truly are…”
Mrs. Ye left her sentence unfinished, hinting her meaning, which Shi Shen understood. Seeing his girlfriend also looking at him expectantly, he struck his chest and promised, “Auntie, don’t worry. Lanny will definitely get better.”
Mrs. Ye smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and said, “Then I’ll leave it to you.”
After Shi Shen left, Mrs. Ye turned to her daughter and said, “The young man you found this time is quite different from your previous suitors.”
“Yes, he’s quite silly… Mom, besides Su Li who can donate bone marrow to me, can’t we really find any other sources?”
“Knowing that Su Li matches you was something your father found out by spending a lot of money. Otherwise, why would we bother matching you with that boy Xiao Shi…”
“The young man is good, but he’s just not right for you.”
——————
Shi Shen left the hospital with a heavy expression on his face.
Don’t be fooled by how well Ye Ruolan’s condition is controlled; this kind of illness can worsen rapidly.
He pulled out his phone, stared at the phone number for a long time, but finally pressed the call button.
He had a date with Su Li today, but with his girlfriend in such a state, how could he be in the mood for fun? He still had to force a smiling face.
But reality doesn’t change just because of his feelings. Shi Shen tugged at his own face, replacing it with a sunny demeanor, and wiped the worries from his face.
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Shi Shen made a few more calls, but the result was the same.
Shi Shen didn’t think that Su Li was deliberately not picking up; he assumed she might have been delayed by something.
After trying again and still getting no response, Shi Shen finally sighed deeply.
Right now, he really wasn’t in the mood for fun.
