Gu Ming stood at the bar with his coffee and looked at the news on his cell phone in a daze.

Shen Su took the coffee and unintentionally glanced at Gu Ming’s cell phone screen. She could not help but take a few more glances at him.

Gu Ming put away his cell phone and turned to walk out.

He came to Zhili to discuss business today. He did not expect Shen Su to become Zhili’s secretary.

“Are you still sad?” Shen Su asked calmly.

Gu Ming stopped and did not turn around. He said calmly, “No, I’m just taking a look.”

Shen Su smiled. She walked in front of Gu Ming and took a sip of coffee. She raised her chin at Gu Ming’s cell phone. “Sometimes, you can only grow up after experiencing those heart-wrenching pains. Hence, we should thank everyone we meet as we grow up.”

Gu Ming lowered his eyes and pondered. When he looked up again, he raised the coffee cup in his hand at Shen Su. “That makes sense. At least to me.”

Shen Su smiled.

Gu Ming’s gaze wavered.

Shen Su was not a beauty in the standard sense. The lines on her face were a little tough. Coupled with her shoulder-length hair, she looked free and unruly, with an indescribable charm.

Shen Su raised her glass and clinked it with Gu Ming’s. “Speaking of which, we’re still very fated. Although this fate is a little awkward, since we can meet here, it means that we’ve already left the circle of life we used to live in and are no longer in the same world as them. What happens to them or to us is no longer relevant.”

Gu Ming smiled. “Are you comforting me?”

Shen Su shook her head. “Do 1 need to comfort you? I’m just stating the facts. At the same time, 1’11 make a concluding statement about our similar past.”

Gu Ming raised his glass and clinked it with Shen Su’s.

The two of them smiled.

“Did your work here go smoothly?” Gu Ming changed the topic. What happened in the past was in the past. What happened to Bei Le had nothing to do with him.

Shen Su sighed softly. “This job made me realize how shallow I was in the past. 1 was like a frog at the bottom of a well. Now, I’m willing to burn myself for this job and burn myself to ashes. I’ve found the meaning of life.”

Gu Ming looked at Shen Su and his eyes softened. He nodded. “I was seriously ill once. After 1 recovered, 1 went to work for President Mu. Only then did 1 realize how meaningless my life was in the past.”

The two of them, who were originally unrelated, sympathized with each other because of their past and their future. They regretted not meeting sooner.

After leaving the protection of the family, the two of them grew at an astonishing speed.

Bei Le’s fever reached 39 degrees Celsius, and her internal organs were burning. Shen Yu was so anxious that she was helpless. Bei Le was so sick, but Bei Cong didn’t allow her to send Bei Le to the hospital. Bei Le could only take some medicine at home and endure it. Shen Yu was so anxious that tears flowed down her face.

Bei Cong returned tiredly and hurriedly entered the room to see Bei Le.

“What should we do? Bei Cong, can’t we go to the hospital in secret? If the fever goes on like this, she’ll go crazy!” Shen Yu stomped her feet.

“No!” Bei Cong objected firmly.

“No, Mom, I can’t go to the hospital,” Bei Le said hoarsely, struggling to sit up.

Shen Yu hurriedly went forward to help her up. Bei Cong hurriedly handed her water.

Bei Le took two sips of water anxiously and panted. “Brother, let’s go see Sister!”

“Why are you looking for your Sister? You’re already like this. Why are you looking at her? That heartless person didn’t even come to see you!” Shen Yu said angrily.

Bei Le didn’t have the strength to argue with Shen Yu. She looked at Bei Cong and panted. “Sister—can treat illnesses—Ah!”

Her words enlightened Bei Cong. He slapped his forehead. “That’s right! How could I have forgotten about this? Doesn’t Bei Shuo know how to treat illnesses? Let’s go find her!”

He instructed Shen Yu, “Mom, hurry up and change Bei Le’s clothes. Let’s go and see Bei Shuo. It’s alright. You’re going to see your Sister after you come back from overseas and give her a gift. It’s a perfect excuse. Later, get someone to write about your sisterly relationship. It’s settled!”

Bei Le heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Bei Cong understood. A faint smile appeared on her lips.

Bei Shuo was going to be a doctor. A doctor-in-training was also a doctor. She would not leave her in the lurch! Moreover, even if she died, she had to die in the Mu Family. She was Mu En’s woman!

This time, Mu En gave her a large sum of money. She did not tell anyone.

Mu En had never mistreated her, except that he could not marry her. However, she firmly believed that Mu En loved her. It was just that her background was too low and his circumstances were too difficult. It was all fate..
