When Shen Li saw his marriage partner in front of him at the Civil Affairs Bureau, with a tall figure and a look that kept strangers away, his jaw almost dropped.

Fortunately, he’s not an old man!

She looked up at Gu Jingcheng blankly, blinking her eyes, and couldn't help but look him up and down.

The suit he was wearing was meticulously maintained and it was obvious that it was worth a lot of money.

He is so generous and has a face like that, so there must be no shortage of girls chasing after him, but he is so anxious to find someone to marry.

Is there something wrong?!

She suddenly felt like regretting it, thinking that such a good thing would never happen to her, and was afraid that it might be a new scam.

But if he wasn't a scammer, this money could have saved her from the dire situation.

So Shen Li asked tentatively: "Um, Mr. Gu, your last name is Gu, right..." Shen Li said uncertainly and took out the agreement and took a look at it.

Gu Jingcheng lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl in front of him. She looked very thin, but her features were very pretty and charming.

If she were thrown into the university campus, I wonder how many boys' youth would be ruined.

I don’t know where Chen Lingdong found it.

"Do you have any concerns about the agreement?"

Gu Jingcheng spoke in a calm tone, but it sounded cold.

Shen Li smiled and gave him a tentative kiss: "The compensation written here...should be transferred to my account now, right?"

Shen Li asked cautiously. If he refused to pay after getting the certificate, then Shen Li would not only end up losing more than he gained.

Gu Jingcheng looked at her with deep eyes, without any emotion, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, which could not be noticed if you didn't look carefully.

I was originally worried about other things, but if Shen Li was someone who valued money very much or really needed money, then things would be much easier.

Gu Jingcheng turned to Chen Lingdong and said, "Transfer the money to her."

There is no more superfluous word.

"Also, if this is done, the person who introduced the couple will get a commission, right?" Shen Li asked.

She pursed her lips and looked at Gu Jingcheng and Chen Lingdong with her eyes wide open, then continued in a low voice: "This is... how I introduced myself..."

Chen Lingdong stood aside, looking at the girl in front of him with a little surprise.

She loved money so much, and I felt that she was going too far, and I immediately disliked her.

More importantly, she was afraid that Gu Jingcheng would get angry, so she carefully observed his reaction.

Gu Jingcheng didn't react much after hearing this, he just nodded slightly to Chen Lingdong.

Chen Lingdong understood immediately, and said to Shen Li with a professional fake smile: "The money will be in your account soon, please check it, Miss Shen!"

Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that the person would agree so readily.

While getting a number and waiting in line, Shen Li's heart was pounding. He kept flipping through his phone and couldn't help turning his head to peek at Gu Jingcheng who was sitting two seats away from him.

I have to say, this guy is handsome. He doesn't look very old, tall and handsome. Just looking at him makes people happy.

He just didn't look like someone who was easy to get along with. She didn't dare talk to him much because of his cold look, and he only said a few words throughout the whole process.

When taking the photo, the photographer was stunned. Are they here to get married or to get divorced?

The first time I saw a newlywed couple coming to get their marriage certificate, they were so far apart from each other, like two strangers.

In fact, they are just two strangers!

"Please come closer, the newlyweds. We are taking wedding photos. We are already out of the picture."

Shen Li smiled awkwardly at the photographer, moved aside, and observed Gu Jingcheng's reaction.

He was very calm, without any extra expression on his face. He looked down and moved towards Shen Li.

Shen Li's palms were almost sweating as she held the phone. Gu Jingcheng saw Shen Li's embarrassment. She seemed a little afraid of him. She wanted to speak but only slightly raised her lips.

He moved his position so that their shoulders gently touched each other.

Gu Jingcheng asked the photographer: "Is this okay?"

"Hey, good, come on and smile."

Gu Jingcheng looked normal, and Shen Li glanced at him secretly.

Just seeing such a face, she started to blush.

The next second, she looked at the camera and unconsciously revealed a sweet and somewhat shy smile.

Since you have to take photos anyway, it won’t hurt to take good-looking ones.

Once the seal is sealed, the matter is finally settled.

The remaining matters were also coordinated by Chen Lingdong and Shen Li.

He left Shen Li's contact information and asked Shen Li to follow the agreement and keep it strictly confidential.

There was nothing she needed to do anymore. She was free and only needed to wait for the right time to notify her to get the divorce certificate.

Shen Li was hoping for this. After the two of them left, Shen Li also went to the hospital.

In the ward, Chen Pingan fell asleep on the bed.

Shen Li tiptoed over and saw that he was sleeping soundly, and her heart was relieved a little.

Looking at Chen Pingan, who was tortured by illness, he no longer looked like the young man full of vigor and vitality in the past.

After adjusting his mood, Shen Li went to the office to see the doctor.

After coming out of the doctor's office, Shen Li sat weakly on a chair in the hospital corridor, digesting the bad emotions.

Xiao Hui came over and sat down beside him, and comforted him softly, "Shen Li, are you okay?"

Shen Li forced himself to cheer up and shook his head: "I'm fine, thank you, Xiaohui, I've caused you a lot of trouble."

"What are you talking about? Just come to me if you need anything."

The two were high school classmates and had a good relationship when they were in school.

Because of some family connections, Xiaohui stayed in the hospital after graduating from university.

Shen Li, who originally had the opportunity to pursue graduate studies, also left school and went to a private rehabilitation center, even though that was not her original plan.

Although it is a bit regrettable, fortunately the salary and benefits are good, and Shen Li can also have time to do part-time work, which is a more suitable choice for her.

If Chen Ping'an had not suddenly fallen ill a year ago, everything might have been different.

Xiao Hui thought about it, and finally asked: "To be honest, there is no need for you to push yourself like this. After all, you are not siblings."

Yes, the two have no blood relationship at all.

To be precise, Chen Pingan was picked up by Shen Li.

Shen Li has been in an orphanage since he can remember. When he was 10 years old, he found Chen Pingan rummaging through a trash can and snatching food from a stray dog ​​on his way home from school.

It was already late autumn, but he was only wearing a thin piece of clothing, which was dirty and torn.

Shen Li took out the bread that the school distributed at noon and gave it to Chen Pingan, and Chen Pingan followed her all the way back to the orphanage.

The two are not related by blood, but they are closer than siblings. Fourteen years have passed in a flash.

Shen Li smiled and didn't blame Xiaohui for saying that.

What she said was just what most people would think, and her starting point was to consider her own situation. After all, she was really overwhelmed by Chen Ping'an's illness.

"It doesn't matter whether we are related by blood or not. He is my brother!" said Shen Li.

Xiaohui didn't say anything else. Someone called her in the ward, so she left in a hurry.

For the next half month, it seemed as if Chen Lingdong and Gu Jingcheng had never appeared.

If it weren't for the red book with the stamp and the real money in her account, Shen Li would have suspected that she was dreaming.

Chen Ping'an had already been discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate. He only needed to return to the hospital for follow-up visits on time.

Shen Li was counting the money, and the money in the card really gave Shen Li and his brother a moment of respite.

After paying the medical bills and repaying part of the money I had borrowed previously, there was not much left.

All the money I saved before was spent on medical treatment.

Chen Pingan came out of the kitchen, holding two bowls of noodles and placed them on the coffee table in front of Shen Li.

Looking at the sad-looking Shen Li, Chen Pingan said, "Sister, why don't I drop out of school and not treat this disease.

The tone was so normal, as if he was discussing tomorrow's weather with Shen Li.

Shen Li paused and slapped the pen in her hand on the small notebook in front of her: "Chen Ping'an, if you dare to say such words again, don't call me sister anymore."

Chen Pingan knew that Shen Li was really angry, so he coaxed her with a smile: "I was wrong, I was wrong. Come eat and try your cooking skills. It's a pity that I don't become a chef."

He knew how to make Shen Li happy. Shen Li put away the notebook, and they each had a bowl of noodles, talking and laughing while eating.

While eating, Shen Li received a call from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello. Who is this?"

"Ms. Shen, I'm Gu Jingcheng. Do you have time to meet me?"
