Chapter 113 The Onset of Illness
When Jiang Zhi went out, he glanced at Shang Yanjing's mother, Shang Li.
The woman had a pretty face, and Shang Yanjing looked very much like her.
However, the gloom on her face all year round made her look worried.
There is always something on my mind.
"Your illness cannot be taken lightly."
She remembered the girl in the next bed who bit her tongue and committed suicide during a manic attack.
During a manic episode, the body is actually out of control.
Jiang Zhi recalled that the girl seemed to be smiling every day, but she had no idea what had stimulated her that night to make her act like that.
After the incident, Jiang Zhi was scared for a long time.
Shang Li stared at Jiang Zhi's face, and her hand holding the cup of coffee suddenly tightened.
"I have no intention of prying into your secrets. Don't worry, we won't see each other again."
Jiang Zhi walked out.
Shang Li pressed the cup in her hand, and soon the cup shattered to the ground.
The warm coffee soaked through her dress.
But at this moment, she couldn't feel anything.
She thought that as long as she hid it well enough, no one would be able to discover her illness.
She no longer remembered how she developed this disease. Was it when she discovered that Jiang Nengjie had lied about her identity, or when she saw Jiang Nengjie kissing another woman, or...
My head was buzzing, and for a moment, I couldn't find the source to resolve it.
She knew that this time, the attack was about to begin again, even though every time it occurred, it almost took his life.
However, even taking medicine cannot cure it.
Because from the beginning to the end, she was the only one trapped here.
She has already failed miserably, and she absolutely cannot bear to see Shang Yanjing continue to fall into depravity. He should seek a marriage alliance instead of giving up his life for a woman.
I shouldn't end up like her, living such a miserable life.
Just about to get up and leave.
"Sister, it really is you."
Ding Juling walked in with a custom-made handbag on her shoulder and a smile on her face.
"What are you doing here?" Shang Li turned around after hearing the extremely familiar voice.
The moment he saw Ding Juling's face, Shang Li's eyes were suddenly filled with anger.
Ding Juling was wearing high heels, and her heels made crisp sounds as they touched the ground.
But every step he took was a step directly on Shang Li's heart.
Shang Li is beautiful. Even though she is in her forties, she still has charm, exactly the same as when she was young. Time has taken special care of her and has left no trace.
And her indifferent look made Ding Juling even more jealous.
"Sister, I came all the way here to see you." Ding Juling's eyes fell on the woman's face. "But you look like you don't welcome me. Sister, after all these years, you still won't forgive me?"
Shang Li didn't even raise her eyelids and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Since childhood, she has been a typical lady from a noble family, quiet and elegant. The most extreme thing she encountered was that she broke up with her family because of Jiang Nengjie and was determined to marry Jiang Nengjie.
But it turned out that she failed miserably in the end.
"Sister, I know you don't like me, but no matter what, you were the one who stole my man first. Originally, Brother Neng and I were childhood sweethearts. Since we were young, the adults agreed that I would marry him. It was you who came out and interfered, and we ended up like this."
"Really?" Shang Li raised her eyes and asked coldly.
"Sister, I know you don't believe it, but it's the truth. Otherwise, how could he agree to marry me in the end?"
"Back then, he lied to you about his identity because he was just playing with you, a rich girl. I've heard that you're very picky, but I never thought you'd fall into this worldly trap and even fall in love with a man with no status..."
Snapped--!
Shang Li slapped her directly.
After the fight, her fingers were still shaking. She tried her best to hide the strange feeling, but she couldn't stop it.
Red marks quickly appeared on Ding Juling's cheeks, and a hint of disbelief flashed in her eyes, which was then replaced by anger.
She didn't expect Shang Li to fight back so directly, which was very different from the gentle sister she remembered.
After all, when she climbed onto Jiang Nengjie's bed that day, Shang Li didn't beat her like this.
She is patient and self-controlled.
That's why she was dumped by Jiang Nengjie in the end.
"You...you dare to hit me!" Ding Juling's voice became sharp because of anger.
Shang Li just looked at her coldly, without any regret.
"You asked for it."
Ding Juling tightly grasped the strap of her handbag and tried hard to control her emotions. She knew that now was not the time to argue with Shang Li.
"Okay, sister, it seems you still can't let go of the past. But..."
Shang Li raised her brows slightly, "What do you want to say?"
"I came here today to tell you that Jiang Nengjie..." Ding Juling's voice suddenly lowered, as if she was choosing her words carefully.
Shang Li's heartbeat quickened. Although she tried to remain calm, she could not completely hide the turmoil in her heart.
"What does he have to do with me?" There was a barely perceptible tremor in Shang Li's voice.
Ding Juling took a deep breath and said slowly, "Sister, Brother Neng is not in good condition now. What happened between you two has never happened..."
Shang Li's heart sank suddenly. She knew that Jiang Nengjie's health had always been a problem, but Ding Juling's words gave her an ominous premonition.
"That's enough!" Shang Li's voice revealed a hint of nervousness. She was afraid that if she heard any more, her heart would get out of control.
Ding Juling looked at Shang Li with complicated eyes.
"He... he's very ill. The doctor said he might... might not have much time left."
Shang Li's face turned pale in an instant, and an indescribable pain surged in her heart. Although there was an insurmountable gap between her and Jiang Nengjie, she couldn't suppress her emotions when she heard the news.
"That's his own fault." Shang Li's voice was firm and urgent.
Ding Juling nodded, she knew that her goal had been achieved.
"Sister, it's been so many years, it's time to let it go. What Brother Neng did was unfair to you, but no matter what... so many years have passed, you should let it go."
"I can't get over this, Ding Juling. I will never be on the same page with you on this matter."
He made himself so miserable.
Finally, can all these troubles be solved with just one sentence?
There are such good things in the world.
The coffee stains and broken cups on the ground seemed to foreshadow the coming storm.
A broken mirror can never be reunited.
The woman's eyes were fixed on Shang Li.
Those eyes revealed some indescribable feeling, "Sister, why do you have to trap yourself here? You appear here, haven't you forgotten what happened between you and Brother Neng? No matter how deep you hide it, you are only deceiving yourself."
In Shang Li's heart, the suppressed emotions surged like a tide.
