tence exploded in Jian Tong's ears!Xia the Butler's words, one after another, left her no time to think.Her expression was blank, and for a long time, she didn't come back to her senses……Xia Wei Ming…...Open your eyes, a pale room.

"Awake"

"Xi Chen"

She blinked her eyes several times, adjusting to the bright sunshine outside the window. She didn't ask why she was in the hospital.

Memory fragmented, now waking up, those fractured memories, bit by bit recovering.

She remembered, it was Mrs. Jian.

He slowly asked the person beside him, "Where is she"

"Ashu is not here."

"I asked, Mrs. Jian."

Xi Chen, upon hearing this, was instantly filled with rage:

"In your heart, is Ah Xiu not even as good as a Jian Fu" He sneered: "Jian Tong, have you ever truly loved Shen Xiujin"

If you've loved, how can you be so indifferent

Upon hearing this, Jian Tong couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity welling up inside him.

She looked at Xi Chen intently, her gaze unwavering.

"What are you looking at" Xichen was actually embarrassed and angry to be stared at. What kind of look was that

He didn't think his words were particularly funny.

The woman on the bed retracted her gaze from him, her eyes gazing through the window.

"I'm talking to you! Can't you hear me" Xichen was inexplicably agitated. Her expression... her expression!

He couldn't put his finger on it, he didn't know what exactly he disliked about Jian Tong now.

It's just that looking at this woman named Jian Tong right now, I feel inexplicably agitated.

But though he was restless, a glance from the corner of his eye fell on the woman in bed, and suddenly he froze. He felt as if her world was encased in a glass dome, with an invisible barrier in the air, separating everything outside from within.

It's outside, can't get in.

Inside, I don't want to come out.

Then, there appeared such a strange and jarring sight.

The woman in bed quietly gazed out the window at the sky. The man in bed stared blankly at the woman beside him.

Finally, Xi Chen let out a long sigh and conceded defeat. He finally understood that anyone who dared to compete with this woman in terms of endurance or perseverance would surely lose miserably.

The first to speak up was Xi Chen, who took the initiative:

"How long were you unconscious"

He picked up an apple, slowly peeling it, and said:

"This is the third day."

"You should have woken up by now, there wasn't really anything wrong. I don't know why I can't wake you up." Maybe you're just too tired

Ashu stayed by your side in the hospital for two days and two nights. Last night, he received a call and hurriedly borrowed Mr. Lu Wu's private plane to rush to City S.

Lu Wuye, Jian Tong has heard of this name. He's a prominent local tycoon with a bad temper and is not easy to get along with.

To her surprise, the man hastily borrowed a private jet from Master Lu... Her brow furrowed slightly, and in her usually placid eyes, a hint of worry flickered that outsiders wouldn't notice.

Xi Chen saw that she remained unmoved, so angry he wanted to throw the apple in his hand away. Or perhaps, she hadn't understood yet—Shen Xiu Jin was in big trouble!

"Aren't you worried at all

"Have you stopped caring about that person's safety at all" Xi Chen put down the apple and stared at the woman in bed, unwilling to miss even the slightest expression on her face.

"Shen's."

Boom~

A bolt from the blue!

In the woman's placid eyes, a look of astonishment.

The behemoth, Shen Shi, is about to change hands

The Shen clan's empire, that person's empire, is about to collapse

Chen's, that person's entire lifeblood!

Her fingers, unconsciously, gripped the bed sheet tightly.

Xi Chen keenly perceived the fluctuations in her heart and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

If she truly didn't care about Xiu anymore, Xi Chen would even go to any lengths to make her "die unexpectedly".

Yes, she had gone through hardships, but Xi Chen wasn't a good person to begin with. Even if everything was unfair to her, if only her death could redeem Ashu, Xi Chen would do it without batting an eyelid.

So-called partiality is roughly like this.

No matter how good someone is, if they don't care, it means they don't care.

The other party is also bad, he is also good, and he must be good.

"For the past few years, Ah Xiu has been searching for you like a madman.

"

He said that he would walk every place he could reach, even if it meant walking until his death, he would never give up looking for you.

He worked day and night, his business empire constantly expanding.

Even during those rare moments of respite, he spent every last one searching for someone throughout the length and breadth of the land.

"Jian Tong, the person he has always thought about, is you."

Jian Tong was suddenly irritable and snapped at Chi Chen:

"What are you telling me for! What does it have to do with me"

It sounds like he, Shen Xiujin, is a great romantic, deeply in love with me.

I only beg him, let me go.

"Parting ways is the best outcome for us, no hard feelings."

What about now

Send someone like Xi Chen over as a spokesperson

What else was she hiding What was it about her that Shen Xiujin couldn't get out of his mind, something he desperately wanted to possess

Let him speak!

"Xi Chen, look at me! Look at me!" She sprang up abruptly, a faint flush rising on her pale face as she gasped for breath. She pointed to herself:

Over these years, I've let you guys mold and shape me however you wanted. If you wanted me to be a certain way, that's how I became.

Anyone, even an individual, can whip out a stack of bills and tell me: "You, Jian Tong, take this money and make us happy."

She has tried her best to control her emotions: “I loved him, I never deny that.”

Throughout my life, I, Jian Tong, have only ever loved Shen Xiu Jin. I have never had feelings for anyone else.

But you can't take advantage of my love and mistreat people like this!

Her words were sharp and forceful, each syllable laced with gritted teeth!

You can't take advantage of my love and bully me!

Xi Chen's heart was deeply shaken!

He had never sat down with Jian Tong like this before, in such a formal and private conversation.

Over the years, he'd only seen this woman and Shen Xiujin's infatuation.

A few years ago, she was so busy chasing after Ah Xiu. She was running around like crazy.

Then that's what happened.

In the following years, she was afraid of Ah Xiu and couldn't even avoid him.

He's fine, and Yu Xing is fine too. It seems like from the beginning to the end, they both have been indifferent to this woman. Whether she loves them or fears them, it makes no difference to them.

He and Yu Xing only watched coldly until she ran away, then Ashu went crazy.

Then he didn't say anything to Yu Xing, but in his heart, he held a grudge against this woman. It was her fault that the aloof and cold Xiu became what he was now, neither human nor ghost.

Even after obtaining that surveillance video.

He and Yu Xing were also cold spectators from beginning to end. They didn't see the hopeless look in her eyes when she got out of prison, they just watched silently from the sidelines, muttering a few words of regret: "Ah, that once proud and famous Jian Tong on Shanghai beach, how could she become so timid and withdrawn."

But Jian Tong was right in front of him, screaming at the top of her lungs, "You can't just take advantage of my love and mistreat people like this!" Xichen knew that "you" included not only Shen Xiujin, but also him and Yu Xing.

Just this sentence alone is enough to show that this woman clearly understands the thoughts in both his and Yu Xing's hearts. She sees through how he and Yu Xing force her to submit, how they pressure her into compromise, how they push her to muddle through and blindly follow Shen Xiu Jin, muddling through her life just like that.

"Xi Chen," Jian Tong took a deep breath, she was calmer now: "What do you think, me and that person, what kind of ending should we have"

Xi Chen opened his mouth and wanted to say, "Live a good life."

Jian Tong interrupted him:

"If I were smart enough, I should just obey him, be a puppet, and not know what he had in mind. In short, whenever he wanted me, I would obediently comply, and when he got tired of me, I'd have to scram again."

Thus, he got his wish, and you are all satisfied.”

Xichen was stunned... It turned out that she, who seemed to care about nothing, actually understood everything.

"Xi Chen, flesh wounds heal.

"The wounds in one's heart, no matter how well they heal, will always leave scars." She gave a smile more heartbreaking than crying:

"How can I possibly face that person normally again!"

At this moment, facing this question, Xi Chen was speechless. All his sophistry and favoritism seemed pale and powerless under the gaze of this woman's eyes, which held a pain that could well up and overflow.

You called me, how do I face that person

How to forgive

How to accept

How… unbelievable!

Who knows what tricks that man wants to play next He said he hates her, saying how the dead person wasn't you. He said you don't deserve it, saying that you have to atone for Xia Wei Ming even while you live.

Aha~ She's still alive.

Yet, both his body and mind were so exhausted that he could barely muster the love. He also didn't have the energy to hate anymore.

But between her and that man, things had become hopelessly tangled, a messy knot impossible to unravel.

What was once desired is now feared.

The woman in bed closed her eyes...a wry smile, Ah Lu, there's no paradise in this world, even Erhai Lake isn't safe.

S City

A man returned home at night, having been awake for a long time. His eyes were bloodshot and he was drenched in the cold dampness of his journey. In the old Shen family mansion, he found the elderly head of the Shen family playing chess.

"Why do this"

His face, aside from the bloodshot eyes that spoke of sleepless nights, was as still and placid as a mirror. He gazed across at the old man, his expression utterly indifferent.

He didn't even look, the one playing chess with the old man was Lu Mingchu who had fought with him a few days ago at the guesthouse by Erhai Lake.

"You don't love the mountains and rivers, you only love beautiful women. Then what do you want with the Shen family Am I your only grandson"

Shen Xiujin did not get angry. He looked at the old man playing chess, as if weighing his words.

"Suit yourself." After a moment, the man said nonchalantly, his gaze falling on the elder with an unreadable indifference:

"If you have the guts, come and take the Shen Corporation from me."

He's been working day and night these past years, only thinking about constantly expanding his business map. Only this constant busyness and expansion can fill the void in his heart, but it's still not as much as that woman.

But, it's better than nothing.

However, he focused on fighting at the front while forgetting that after expansion, it's necessary to manage and stabilize the rear.

Gazing at the old man, Shen Xiujin turned and left without looking back... He never expected that the person who had set fire to the backyard was his own grandfather.

As for what Lu Mingchu wanted, he wouldn't give him any of it.

Whether it's Shen or Xiao Tong.ried hard to conceal his feelings, his raspy voice still revealing his urgency: "I see~ You're apologizing for him."He hated the woman's silence; he couldn't hear her voice!Her silence made him want t...
