Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World
Chapter 357 (midnight)

Chapter 357: 357 (midnight)

Song Shiqin walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at the familiar face and let out a gentle sigh. He took Chu Jin’s hand and said in a heavy tone, "...what am I to do with you?"

These days, he had been completely unable to find any news about her.

He had utilized all of his connections, yet came up with nothing.

It was as if she had evaporated from the world, vanishing without a trace.

They say no news is good news, but at the same time, isn’t no news also the worst news?

Still, he didn’t want to face the facts, nor was he willing to do so.

He did not want to be indebted to her for a lifetime either.

So, even though he knew the person in front of him was not the one in his heart, he still preferred to live in this illusion.

At least—

She had a face, similar to hers.

At least—

She could make his life a little less regretful.

With that, it was enough.

Song Shiqin had always presented himself with the tough image of a military man, leading a life of danger and violence, never showing such expressions even when faced with death on the battlefield. But now, he was truly scared.

"Where am I?" Chu Jin slowly opened her eyes, her voice somewhat weak.

This was not an act; she indeed felt weak. Having dieted excessively and having eaten little at noon, she felt limp all over.

Without strength, dizzy and vision blurred, even her lips had started to peel from dryness.

Pitiful and endearing.

It was easy to stir the protective instincts of men.

Seeing her awake, Song Shiqin’s eyes brightened, and he asked somewhat nervously, "You’re awake, this is the hospital. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"Mr. Song..." Chu Jin withdrew her hand, and with a hint of confusion, asked, "Why are you here?"

"I know about everything. Don’t worry, I will definitely help you get justice," Song Shiqin’s voice was somewhat somber.

"Thank you," Chu Jin said softly.

On the surface, she appeared normal, but inside, she was extremely agitated.

Her plan had succeeded.

Now, Song Shiqin was completely unguarded against her.

"Hungry? I’ll go buy you something to eat." Song Shiqin suddenly remembered the doctor’s words, anemia, malnutrition...

Chu Jin did not refuse but simply said, "That would be trouble for you."

She was indeed hungry.

"There’s no need for politeness with me." Song Shiqin couldn’t help but reach out and touch her cheek; the face overlapped with the one in his memory, as if, she really had come back.

Good, she was still here.

Chu Jin instinctively turned her head away, her tone cold, revealing rejection, "Mr. Song, show some respect."

With men, it’s always best to keep them wanting more.

What you can’t have always stirs desire.

Otherwise, once the novelty wear’s off, they won’t take you seriously.

Chu Jin was very clear about this.

Moreover, with the head of the Mo family setting a precedent, as for Song Shiqin...

Keeping him on the hook for play was not bad either.

She quite liked her life now. In the past, a man like Song Shiqin was beyond her wildest dreams.

The Chief Commander of Hua Nation!

A man with high status and power, several ranks above her father’s.

If her father knew that even the Chief Commander was circling around her, he would definitely regret his decision back then.

He would probably be green with regret.

His own daughter certainly couldn’t bring him this glory!

Now, to her, what was the Chief Commander?

The Chief Commander was just a man she had rejected and didn’t want.

Just thinking about it was incredibly satisfying.

Song Shiqin’s hand stiffened, then he withdrew it somewhat unnaturally, "I’ll be back soon, wait here for me."

"Okay," Chu Jin uttered softly.

Almost as soon as Song Shiqin had left, Chu Jin’s phone rang.

It was a call from Teacher Wu.

The general message was to inform Chu Jin that she could rest for a day tomorrow, but she must come to school the day after as it was both the school’s centennial celebration and the day the television station would interview her.

She was advised to use the rest time at home to prepare for how to respond to the journalists’ questions.

By taking the opportunity of the centennial celebration, the school was promoting itself through the interview.

The principal’s intention was also very clear; to label South Bridge No.2 Middle School as a century-old prestigious school.

To make South Bridge No.2 Middle School famous throughout the China mainland.

When Song Shiqin took her from the school, he had an officer inform Teacher Wu, so she was aware of Chu Jin’s hospitalization.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Jin’s lips curved into a pleased smile.

The day after tomorrow.

As long as she got through tomorrow, she would not be far from becoming famous throughout the China mainland.

Three television stations would come to interview her.

And they were all high-rating major networks.

Being on TV for the first time in her life, she couldn’t help but feel excited.

Song Shiqin left the hospital building and drove to a well-known restaurant, where he stood at the bar and ordered some dishes rich in iron and protein.

Just after he finished ordering, his phone rang. Frowning, he answered the call, "Hello, it’s me."

The low voice carried a deep sense of authority, making the cashier at the bar instinctively shrink back.
