Across from the residential area was an ATM. She inserted her bank card into the machine, and as the screen displayed the balance, Jian Tong clenched her teeth, fiercely withdrawing two thousand yuan.
Holding the money, she hailed a taxi. "To..." She only realized after getting in the car that in her rush to escape, she hadn't thought of a destination.
"Where to?" The taxi driver urged impatiently.
Where to go... Jian Tong was stunned, suddenly realizing that despite the vastness of the world, she had nowhere to go.
"Are we going or not? If not, get out. I need to pick up more fares," the driver frowned, giving Jian Tong a disdainful glance... Bad luck, not checking the almanac before leaving, and the first fare of the day was jinxed.
"...Sorry, I haven't decided where to go yet," Jian Tong said slowly, without any resistance to the irritable and harsh-speaking taxi driver, even apologizing somewhat meekly, making her appear extremely weak.
A second later, the driver's side of the taxi was knocked twice with a "tap tap", and then Jian Tong heard a cold, official voice outside the window saying, "Sir, please open the passenger side door of the taxi." The tone was very formal, devoid of emotion, and despite the use of "please", the attitude was very forceful... All of Shen Xiujin's subordinates had learned from him. Jian Tong excitedly yelled at the driver, "Don't open the door!" She said, "I'll give you money..." Suddenly... "Bang!" Along with a loud noise, the glass of the taxi window next to the driver's seat shattered into pieces. This sudden event startled not only Jian Tong but also the driver sitting in the driver's seat. "I...I'm going to call the police! There is no law anymore..." right? "Swish!" A stack of brand new red bills landed on the driver, visually estimated to be about ten thousand or so. Outside the window, a bodyguard in black with a bu
With utmost seriousness, she challenged him, "Shen Xiujin, you're too strong, too excellent, with so many enemies. Surely, you have no vulnerabilities. Most of all, your woman cannot be your weakness. Wei Ming is too fragile, she won't do. I, Jian Tong, am fit for the role!" Every time, he would berate her with contempt, "Lowly, coveting even what belongs to a friend!" But every time, she would retort with her head high, "Shen Xiujin, you're single now. Since when did Xia Wei Ming become your girlfriend? I, Jian Tong, will walk away from you!" Such a proud woman! "Please, return my money to me," came the humble plea of a woman in need. Shen Xiujin's face turned an iron blue... Was this really Jian Tong? That proud and confident woman? Abruptly grasping Jian Tong's wrist, Shen Xiujin dragged her towards his car. "My money, let me go. Without the money, I can't leave." The woman's voice lingered in his ears, darkening his already cold ga
Jian Tong stood restlessly in front of Shen Xiujin. Shortly after, someone knocked on the door. Shen Xiujin’s calm and magnetic voice lightly said, "Come in." Jian Tong nervously eyed the person entering — Su Meng, who had interviewed her three months ago. "Ms. Meng," Jian Tong murmured anxiously, sneaking a glance at Shen Xiujin reclining on a single-seater sofa, and then at the suddenly-arrived Su Meng. Her heart trembled, uncertain of what schemes the unfathomable man might have in mind. "Mr. Shen." Su Meng, dressed in a tailor-fitted white suit that did not lessen her allure, with the top two buttons tantalizingly undone, stood composedly in front of Shen Xiujin. "What instructions do you have?" Jian Tong sensed something odd in Su Meng’s demeanor towards Shen Xiujin, as if he were her big-spending boss… What Jian Tong didn’t know was that Shen Xiujin was indeed Su Meng's big boss. Having been in prison for three years, she was unaware that the wo
Jian Tong's head violently shook as she became increasingly desperate. "I refuse, Mr. Shen, I do not wish to transfer to the PR department," Jian Tong pleaded frantically, "I admit my wrongdoing, Mr. Shen, please let me go. I’ve already served three years in prison and paid my price. Just give me my bank card and I will disappear forever, I promise, never to appear before you in this life again." Jian Tong could do nothing but beg. She hadn't noticed the shock in Su Meng's eyes when she mentioned her prison time. Su Meng had only recently arrived in S City two years ago and wasn't a local, hence she wasn't aware of Jian Tong's past. But if it were the old employees who had been with Shen Xiujin for a longer time, they would have been well aware of Jian Tong's history. Shen Xiujin's eyes narrowed dangerously... Did she think she could escape? Not appear before him in this lifetime? "Heh," with a scoff, the man pulled out his phone and gave an o
Three days had passed, and Jian Tong had been transferred to the Public Relations Department, yet she hadn't earned a single penny. Glancing at the time, it was the bustling hours of the night. The entire Public Relations Department was eerily deserted, with only her left in the lounge. Her colleagues had all gone out on assignments. Truth be told, in Donghuang's Public Relations Department, everyone seemed to be making substantial earnings. Those who came to Donghuang
"I..." She opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to refuse, but in the darkness, Shen Xiujin's lips quietly curved into a smile... He had said it: the proud Miss Jian couldn't let go of her dignity, enduring such humiliation. "So, if I really pick up all the money on the ground within a minute, it all becomes mine? And you will give me an additional reward of fifty thousand yuan?" The word "not" that was supposed to follow her "I" just couldn't be spoken. Before her eyes, she saw again that simple, kind-hearted girl in prison, her longing for dreams in her dying moments. In the midst of changing thoughts, Jian Tong forcibly changed her mind... Dignity? Did she have any left? Now, Jian Tong had nothing—no family, relatives, friends, or past. All she had left was herself. What need was there for dignity! The young master chuckled: "Of course, my word is my bond." A hint of mockery flashed in his eyes as he looked down disdainfully at the woman
Outside the private room, Su Meng appeared from around the corner, looked up, and her eyes sharpened instantly. She walked quietly to the door of the private room and asked, "Luna, what are you doing?" A cold voice suddenly came from behind. Luna, who was outside the private room, was startled and turned to see who was behind her. Recognizing the person, her pretty face became uncomfortable, "Nothing, I wasn't watching anything..." Luna was the "princess" of private room 606, where the young masters came without requiring her service, instead, it was Sister Meng who personally sent a newly-arrived cleaner into the room. Driven out of the private room, Luna was naturally disgruntled. There was no one around, so she cautiously pushed the door open a bit to peek inside through the crack. What she saw made her eyes widen, and she silently ridiculed Jian Tong as utterly worthless. Su Meng let out a cold laugh; she had asked "what are you doing," not "what
Shen Xiujin is Su Meng's boss, and Su Meng cannot tell Shen Xiujin's fault. But when he looked at Jian Tong, he felt sad for her. How did this woman offend her boss and receive such cruel treatment? Su Meng’s eyes showed confusion as she watched Jian Tong limping away, holding on to the wall, one foot deep and one foot shallow. The money and bank cards in hand have become a hot potato. Su Meng turned around and left, rushed into her office as fast as she could, and stuffed the bank card and all the money into the safe in her office. Only then did she feel that her palms were no longer as painful as a soldering iron. . When Su Meng turned back to box 606, she almost bumped into Shen Xiujin as soon as she opened the door. "Mr. Shen." Su Meng called out respectfully, and Shen Xiujin responded with a "hmm" and walked around Su Meng. When Su Meng first entered the box, those young men from the capital were still talking about, "That
My name is Shen Lu. I was named by my grandfather, who, from my experience as a child, is not a good person. Let's not talk about other things, let's talk about my name, his own name is very nice, but he had to make my name so strange. Whenever I protested to my grandfather, he always said, "If it's your father's fault, it's because he's not a girl, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten this name. Obviously, he was the one who gave me such an ugly name, but in the end, he blamed it all on my dad. Ah, speaking of which, I forgot to introduce myself. My grandfather, Shen Xiujin. I heard he was particularly charming when he was young. My grandmother, Jane Tong. I sometim
In the hospital, the door to the ward was pushed open silently, and this time, Shen Er didn't act as a messenger. When Bai Yu Xing hurriedly came, he saw that woman. He didn't say anything, and Su Meng pulled Bai Yuxing along with her as they retreated into the corridor, the door opening and closing. The door opened and closed. The man on the hospital bed, lying on his side, fell into a dream. I don't know what was in his dream, but his tightly knit brows showed that he hadn't slept soundly. The hand resting on the bedding, wearing a wedding ring. The woman approached slowly, eventually stopping in front of the man's hospital bed. Clearly visible eyes, her sight fell on the ring between the man's fingers. &
"Jane Tong, Erhai, is not a pure land. The peace you think you have is just your escape." Su Meng said gruffly. She shouldn't have said these words, but she saw something that being an insider didn't see. It was said that the onlooker knows better, and maybe that wasn't true. But she saw, Jane Tong's hesitation. Three years ago, when she helped Jane Tong escape, she genuinely wanted her to live a peaceful life. In three years, not only time had passed, but also her maturity. Because of this maturity, she is also constantly reflecting. In the end, three years ago, to help Jane Tong escape, this matter, in the end, right or wrong. Vaguely, she thought, she did wrong.&
"So you came today just to discuss the old man with me?" On the hospital bed, the man laughed softly, disbelief clear in his eyes, "Lu Mingchu, the old man is not afraid of my death, he still has a grandson who can inherit his throne." Lu Mingchu laughed sarcastically: "Shen family's dirty land, you think I want to go back?" "You don't want the Shen family?" Shen Xiujin coldly said, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you." "Shen's ah," Lu Mingchu's sight, swept past Shen Xiu Jin, looked far away from the window, "is a good thing, I do want, you will give?" "If I don't give it, won't you grab it too?" "With you, I will definitely grab it." Lu Mingchu put his ambition, in the open, "But if you die, I won't grab it with her." Shen Xiujin narrow
Lu Mingchu rushed to the Shen family's old mansion. "You ordered this, didn't you?" Unexplainedly, he drank to the Shen old man who was leisurely drinking tea. "You ran to ...... for no reason is this attitude towards grandfather?" Elder Shen put down the tea in his hands and his old face sank. "It was you who instructed Butler Xia to do that, right? Otherwise, how could Butler Xia not dare right?" "What summer housekeeper what instructed?" "Jane Tong's car accident, you were behind it, I'm asking you this, right!" Lu Mingchu was furious. When Elder Shen heard Jane Tong's name, his face clouded over, "What? You still want to go against your own grandfather for her?" "That m
For three days in a row, that person never set foot in this house again. Shen San and Shen Si are like door gods, one on the left and one on the right, expressionless. The original residence was almost destroyed, she stepped into the Shen family residence again, deep courtyard, no birds and flowers, the housekeeper was very dedicated, everything had been arranged. Except for Shen San and Shen Si, she didn't even have anyone to talk to. No, even Shen San and Shen Si did not speak to her. As for the housekeeper at home, when he saw her, he was always respectful and courteous. Her ears, became ornamental, her mouth, also became ornamental. The servants in the house, some familiar faces, some new faces, but no matter who they were, when they saw
The time is approaching for Jane Mo Bai to receive a bone marrow transplant. He had already changed into his surgical gown, and Mrs. Jian was accompanying him. "Mor Bai, don't be nervous, nothing will happen." Mrs. Jian comforted, but her son was silent. Looking at her son's thinning cheeks, she ruthlessly scolded Jane Tong again in her heart. "If it wasn't for meeting the kind person who succeeded in matching the type, Little Tong that girl is too not, almost killed you." Jane Mo Bai seemed to be annoyed: "Mom! You stop it!" "Eh? What's wrong with this child of yours? Mom's heart is aching for you, why are you yelling at me?" "Mom, don't talk about Little Tong like that ag
Day by day, the man cooking, cooking, work, they will bring the woman in their own side, always under their noses, just like a love sweet couple. People's eyes, to Jane Tong, with envy. The most important thing is that you have to be able to get a good deal of money to be able to get a good deal of money. After a few days, the circle will know. Some people lamented: Jane Tong, the Jane family, can be considered to have made a head start, think years ago, she chased after Shen Xiu Jin that time, but took out the strength of the three men of desperation. Others agreed: she got what she wanted now. One weekend day "I want to go see him." "Who?" "...... my brother."&nbs
Jane Tong languidly turned awake, woke up, a room dim, she Shan Shan climbed up, walked to the living room, not surprised at the living room, warm light, the man sitting on the sofa to watch TV figure. In the living room, the TV was on low, as if she was afraid that the sound would be too loud and wake up the sleeping man. The corridor came some slight footsteps, the man turned to look. Two people, then the line of sight collided together. Both seem to have no great ups and downs of emotions, as if it is an old married couple, but also as if it is a tacit understanding, who did not break this strange peace. As if, each other peace and quiet. The man stood up straight away, walked to the bar, slowly and methodically reheated the meal and placed it on the bar. &nbs
