Standing in the empty elevator, Cheng drawing looked gloomily at himself against the wall of the elevator, and his heart was as calm as dead ash.
In fact, she knew very well that the old lady didn't do anything wrong and even gave her a good chance to solve the problem of her mother's medical expenses. However, she still had resentment in her heart, complaining that the other party had forced her into a loveless marriage.
Because she was too obsessed with things, she didn't even realize that the elevator went past the floor she was going to go to to the first floor.

Only when the elevator door opened with a ding did she come back to her senses.
She pressed the button of the upper floor without saying a word and was about to go upstairs again, but the elevator door was not closed for a long time.
"Miss Cheng, do you want to get out of the elevator or not?" A familiar and magnetic voice rang out. Only then did Cheng drawing realize that Shen Muxi was standing at the door of the elevator. In front of him, Shen Muxi was grabbing a trouser bag with one hand and pulling the elevator door with the other. He was tall and handsome, with a faint smile on his face.
Why was he here? And what a coincidence!
Cheng drawing replied indifferently, "No, I don't."
"Then I'll go in." Shen Muxi stepped in.

However, when he stepped in, Cheng drawing squeezed his way out from beside him. Obviously, he didn't want to take the same elevator as him.
"Aren't we going up together?" Shen Muxi raised an eyebrow at her.
However, as soon as Cheng drawing turned around, he arrived at another elevator.
Shen Mubai pressed the close button and pressed the number on the top floor. The elevator went straight to the top floor. When he walked into the director's office, Old Madam Shen was smiling and planning his and Cheng drawing's wedding.

"Grandma, what makes you so happy?" Shen Muxi walked to the opposite side of Old Madam Shen and sat down with his long legs crossed leisurely.
"Guess?"
"Is everything normal with today's physical examination results?"
"I'm happier than this." Old lady Shen smiled like a thief.
Shen Mu looked at her and then at Sister Zhang. Sister Zhang said with a smile, "The old lady has already persuaded Cheng drawing to marry you, Young Master Murong."
"Oh, no wonder that woman cried so hard that her eyes were swollen like peaches." Shen Muxi put down his legs and rolled his eyes.
"What are you talking about? It's like I'm bullying her." Old lady Shen was unhappy.
"Isn't that the case?" Shen Muxi asked in reply. He remembered Cheng drawing's resolute face when he rejected him.
"It can't be considered bullying her." Old lady Shen sounded a little guilty. Then she asked with a smile, "Have you seen her?"
Shen Muxi nodded.
"Did you tell him that you are the one she is going to marry?"
"She didn't even bother to look at me." Shen Muxi looked at Old Madam Shen. "Didn't you tell her?"
"I wanted to say it, but she didn't give me a chance." Old lady Shen looked innocent. At the beginning, she asked if Heavenly Painting loved Shen Muxi or not. Cheng drawing said that he didn't love her, but she was worried that she wouldn't agree, so she didn't say it was Shen Muxi. She casually said it once. It seemed that Cheng drawing was talking nonsense. When she wanted to say it just now, Cheng drawing seemed to be indifferent to marrying a nobody.
"You said that you didn't want to marry her, but you agreed so soon. Really." Shen Muxi rolled his eyes angrily.
Old lady Shen took a look at the time, got up, pushed Shen Muxi out of the office, and urged, "It's time to get off work. Go and invite her out for a meal to cultivate our relationship."
"I'm not going." Shen Muxi grumpily broke free from her hands.
"Hmm?" The Old Madam looked at him coldly. "Have you forgotten how you promised me?"
"..."
The department where Cheng drawing worked was on the sixth floor. When the elevator passed the 15th floor from the top floor, a young and beautiful female nurse came in from the door. The nurse was holding a bunch of bright red roses in her arms. She smiled gently and looked happy.
When she stepped into the elevator and saw Shen Muxi leaning lazily against the wall of the elevator, she stopped smiling and put on a surprised look.
"This man... is too handsome? Is he a hospital staff? Or...?"
While the young nurse was in deep love, Shen Muxi smiled charmingly at her and said, "Miss, aren't you going to set the floor down?"
Only then did the young nurse come to her senses. She quickly withdrew her gaze and turned to press the floor button. However, what surprised her was that the light on the button on the sixth floor was on. That was to say, the handsome man in front of her was on the same floor as her.
"What a coincidence. I'm also going to the sixth floor." She chuckled.
"Have we met before?" she asked hesitantly. Why did she feel that the handsome man in front of her was so familiar?
"I've seen it before." Shen Muxi nodded. If she liked to read the newspaper, she should have seen it. His eyes fell on the roses in the young nurse's arms, and he smiled. "Is it a gift from my boyfriend?"
"No, it's not..." The nurse shook her head.
"I can't let this handsome guy know that I already have a boyfriend. I can't."
Shen Muxi suddenly leaned over. Before the nurse could react, he reached out and took out one from the rose bunch. He put it between his nose and sniffed it. "The flowers are very beautiful. Thank you."
When the nurse was about to say that if he liked it, she could give him the whole package. The elevator door opened with a "ding" sound, and Shen Muchen took the lead to step out.
The young nurse unconsciously quickened her pace and followed him. When she finally got close to Shen Muchen, she was stopped by two young nurses who came over and joked, "Oh, Dr. Peng sent roses to Tian Lin again. I'm so envious."
"That's right. Not only is Doctor Peng well-educated, but he is also the best for his girlfriend in the world." Another nurse said enviously.
If it had been in the past, Ms. Tian Lin would have been complacent because of the envious looks of her colleagues. But today... looking at Shen Muxi who had gone far away, she couldn't wait to sew their mouths with needles and threads.
As he had just left his post, he immediately resumed his position. It was inevitable that he would be discussed.
Cheng drawing ignored the bad voice around him as usual. The heart in his body, which had gone through the vicissitudes of life, had long been as quiet as still water. In the case that he could even betray his body and soul, his reputation was nothing.
As if in a fit of anger, the newspaper that had been printed with her and Shen Muchen's photo was lying motionless at the corner of the table.
"Tianhua, let's go eat together." Her colleague, Qin Li, called out.
"We also want to go together," Xiao Song and Fangzi said at the right time.
"Okay, I'll treat you." Cheng drawing smiled at them.
In this big office, there were still some colleagues who really cared about her.
It had been two or three years since she had worked with them, because she had never invited them to dinner in the company. It was really inappropriate.
Soon, she would marry the grandson of the chairman of Gracee Group. She did not have to worry about her mother's medical expenses, nor did she have to pay rent or rent. She could still be the ruler of Gracee Group. It was beautiful to think about how to drive away all those ugly nurses.
However, her vision blurred little by little...
Was she crying? No, such a beautiful future was in front of her. How could she cry?
She closed her eyes and tried hard to force the tears in her eyes to fade away.
The fragrance of roses wafted into her nose. It was faint, familiar, and strange...
They were familiar with each other because Lin Yuan always gave her a big gift before they got married. The reason why they were unfamiliar with each other was that since they got married, they hadn't received any roses from Lin Yuan for three years.
"Dear, what do you want to eat for dinner?" A magnetic male voice sounded.
Cheng drawing suddenly opened his eyes. The first thing that entered her eyes was a delicate red rose, followed by a handsome face that she did not want to see again in her life.
What did he call her? Dear? In front of so many doctors and nurses?
"What are you doing here?" She looked at him coldly and asked in an angry tone.
"There's no need to ask. Of course, I'm here to pick you up from work." Shen Muxi handed the rose in his hand to her with a charming smile. "It's for you."
On the other side of the office, in the nurse's office, Tian Lin's arms, which were holding the roses, tightened little by little, and her face was stiff. She had never expected that Shen Muchen would come to find Cheng drawing.
"Isn't this the man called Shen Muchen in the newspaper?" A young nurse asked in a low voice.
Tian Lin suddenly understood. No wonder she felt that this man was familiar. It turned out that he was the man in the newspaper who only showed his side face and Cheng drawing was in love.
Cheng drawing took a deep breath. Although she was trying very hard to control her anger, she still couldn't bear it anymore. She grabbed the rose from Shen Muchen's hand and slammed it on his face. She said coldly, "Get out of here! Right now!"
The rose's thorns tore through the skin on Shen Muchen's face.
Shen Muxi frowned and thought, "This woman... is really violent and difficult to deal with."
"Get lost!" Cheng drawing roared at him. As he pushed him out of the door, he shouted angrily, "If you come here next time, I will definitely call the police and make you suffer."
"Hey... I can go by myself. You don't have to push me. I said I can go by myself... Why are you so barbaric? When you were in bed, you were a gentle woman, but when you got under the bed..."
There was a "bang" sound.
While his colleagues were discussing in surprise, Cheng drawing slapped Shen Muxi in the face. Of course, she didn't hit him this time. After the raised palm hit his palm in the air, he seized it.
He did it on purpose. He deliberately punished her and made her unable to lift her head in front of her colleagues. Cheng drawing understood.
Wasn't this damn man willing to give up until he destroyed her completely?
She looked at him and gritted her teeth. "Can I really make you happy and satisfied by destroying a woman who has no skin?"
"You're a maniac. Whoever marries you in this life will have bad luck." Shen Muxi shook off her hand and turned to the elevator.
Looking at his back as he left, the nerves in Cheng drawing's body finally relaxed. He turned his head and glanced around. There were quite a number of onlookers.
Before Shen Muxi came, she could still firmly say that all the articles were fabricated, and the photos were all taken for justice. But now, after Shen Muxi said those words, even Xiao Song and Fangzi would not believe her anymore.
