Chapter 193: Further Harm

ack and looked at Xiao Heng: "Young master, the old man is getting older. Just nod your head and agree to the old man, okay"On Xiao Heng's handsome face, there was a stubborn refusal to admit defeat....The car arrived at Jian's house and drove through the big iron gate. Jian Tong got out of the car, "Mengjie, you go back first. I want to catch up with Mrs. Jian."

Su Meng's eyes moved, her gaze landing on Jian Tong's plain and unassuming face... She chuckled lightly: "This won't do. Leaving you alone at the Jian family, I wouldn't be able to explain to Mr. Shen."

Jian Tong's throat tightened: "You..."

“I’ll go in with you.” Su Meng closed the car door while walking calmly to Jian Tong’s side, reaching out to put her arm around Jian Tong’s shoulder. She lowered her voice and said in Jian Tong’s ear, a voice only they could hear: “Don’t worry, I’ve worked under Shen Xiujin for so long, I know how to handle things. Besides… I belong to Shen Xiujin, would they dare touch me”

As he spoke, he laughed and put his arm around Jian Tong's shoulder, walking forward.

Mrs. Jian had already come out to greet them: "Little child, you're here! Oh And Miss Su is here too"

"Where are the things" Without any unnecessary chatter, Jian Tong, along with Madam Jian, entered the house and, upon arriving at the Jian residence, asked.

"What is it" Mrs. Jian paused slightly.

"Identity card."

Jian Tong said calmly that she came to the Jian family today just to get her ID card back and take this opportunity to slip away from Shen Xiuqin's watchful eye.

Mrs. Jian suddenly realized, "Oh, oh, your ID card! It's in the drawer of my dressing table, I'll get it for you in a moment. Have some hot tea first. It's so cold outside, have some hot water, don't catch a chill."

Mrs. Jian shouldn't have been distracted, but today's upcoming event still lingered in her mind, causing her to lose focus.

At a glance at the tea water brought over by the maid, Jian Tong's gaze fell back on Mrs. Jian's face: "Mrs. Jian, why don't you go upstairs and get your ID card"

Mrs. Jian looked toward Jian Zhen Dong, as if she couldn't make a decision on her own. After he nodded, she pointed at Jian Tong and said, "Okay, I'll get it for you."

Mrs. Jian went out and came back quickly, just holding her ID card downstairs. She lovingly chided Jian Tong: "You child, why are you so eager to get your ID card back How can you not trust your own parents"

Your father went to great lengths, sneaking around and trying every trick in the book, just to fulfill your request. He couldn't let Mr. Shen suspect a thing. He finally managed to get you a new identity after much difficulty.

At this moment, Mrs. Jian's eyes were kind and gentle. If one didn't know her well, they might really think she was a kind and loving mother.

Su Meng stood aside, her heart a maelstrom of complex emotions.

Besides other things, just to say that when Jian Tong simply asked Madam Jian for an identity card back, Madam Jian still secretly looked at Jian Zhen Dong and asked his opinion.

This… where is a family!

They are basically no different from outsiders.

Jian Tong snatched the ID card quickly from Madam Jian's hand... Madam Jian's feigned love and concern, she had long since dared not expect. At this moment, hearing them in her ears, she only felt a piercing and ironic sting.

She cast a glance at the ID card in her palm, a self-deprecating smile flickering in her eyes.

Ah, so this is why Jian Zhendong was able to fool everyone and evade that man's scrutiny... On his ID card, in the name section, there were two large characters written: Shen Tong.

What did she change her surname to

With a light chuckle, she suppressed the twinge of bitterness in her heart. She raised her eyes and glanced at Jian Zhen Dong lightly, "Why 'Shen' surname specifically"

Jian Zhen Dong whispered. He couldn't truthfully tell her, because a highly respected senior had said: Since that woman married into the Shen family in life, a woman of the Shen family should be loyal in life and death, and even after death, she should remain loyal to the Shen family. Of course, even as a ghost, her identity card would read... last name Shen.

This is what the venerable elder said.

Jian Zhen Dong still remembers, when he brought Jian Tong's request - to find a way to get a new ID card, and go see the revered elder - the elder personally said this with coldness in his eyes.

At that moment, it was decided. Jian Tong, would not live long.

The elder's word was law.

The elder's attitude was also straightforward: The Shen family could accept Jian Tong as their daughter-in-law, and Jian Tong could be on the throne of the generations of Shen's wives, but only a dead Jian Tong could sit on the throne of the Shen's wife.

Jian Zhendong hesitated for a moment. After all, she was his own biological daughter. Unlike what happened years ago, this time, he would be the one to send his daughter off himself.

But... Jian Zhen Dong ultimately made the decision he believed was best for the Jian family.

Sacrificing a daughter who was no longer considered part of the family...

"Boy, would you like to meet the hooligans who put you in jail all those years ago" Jian Zhen Dong didn't answer Jian Tong's question, but instead suddenly brought up those hooligans.

Want to see me

Jian Tong lowered her eyes, hiding the irony in them... What if she saw him What if she didn't

Can time travel backwards

Can her kidneys come back

Have you ever had those dark days

She isn't heartless, she is just too much pain.

"Oh, dear husband, that matter from back then was a real scar for Little Tong. How could you bring it up so bluntly in front of her" Mrs. Jian suddenly chimed in, walking over affectionately and picking up the tea from the side table:

"Little one, don't panic, there's no need to rush into a decision. Have some water and think slowly, there's no hurry."

Jian Tong took the tea and casually positioned herself in front of Su Meng: "Meng Jie, it's time for me to take my medicine. My bag seems to be in your car. Could you please get it for me"

It wasn't that she was overthinking things, but...she felt something was off before she left, but...she couldn't resist the allure of an ID card!

But, being willing to take risks and gamble was her own choice, not something Su Meng should shoulder for her.

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't leave the mansion without Su Meng, she wouldn't have called Su Meng over in the first place to get involved in this mess.

Su Meng took a deep look at Jian Tong...

Mrs. Jian's face paled for a moment, then the next second a smile appeared on her face. She picked up another cup of tea and quickly handed it to Su Meng: "Miss Su, you should drink some water too. It's cold outside, driving here must be tiring Have some water. It's freezing out there. Just ask someone to get your bag from the car, no need for you to go yourself."

Little Tong's lips tightened momentarily, just about to take the cup of tea from Su Meng, but Su Meng had already politely taken a cup of water and sipped it gently in front of Mrs. Jian: "Thank you."

Jian Tong was stunned... She was a little nervous. But... Su Meng distrusted the Jian family more than she did, and, as Su Meng said, having worked under Shen Xiujin, she had seen both the black and white. Su Meng was wary of the Jian family and would definitely be wary of this cup of tea. I'm afraid Su Meng had her own plan.

I held it in, ultimately saying nothing at all.

Mrs. Jian urged, "Little Tong, why aren't you drinking It'll get cold if you don't drink it soon."

Jian Tong, hearing this, glanced at the tea in her hand...No matter what Su Meng's plan was, she had no interest in drinking the tea prepared by the Jian family. She said lightly, "There's no need to bother, I don't really like tea." Then she put down the teacup, "Mengjie, let's go."

"He stood up while speaking, lowering his head to look at Su Meng beside him. "Mengjie, what's wrong with you"

Before she could even scream, the next second, someone suddenly appeared behind her, covering her nose with a handkerchief. “Ugh! Ugh!” She suddenly understood what was happening, and before she fainted, she looked disappointedly at Mr. and Mrs. Jian.

Before she slipped into unconsciousness, she had one thought... Thank goodness, thank goodness she hadn't stopped Meng Jie from drinking the tea just now. If the tea was fine, then it was fine to drink it. But if the tea was poisoned...drinking the tea was the only way to save Meng Jie's life.

According to that "good father" of hers, who was very wary of Shen Xiujin, Su Meng would have fainted before she did. Jian Zhen Dong wouldn't dare to kill Su Meng. As long as Su Meng is alive, he has many excuses to use. If Su Meng died, Shen Xiujin, that ruthless person, would definitely investigate to the bottom of it.

And just as she stood up, though it seemed Meng Jie had been caught, she clearly saw Meng Jie's hand hidden beside her, making a light "hooking" motion.

Mengjie was conveying a message to her - assuring her everything was fine.

After she arrived at the Jian family, no matter what she ate or used, she paid special attention and didn't touch anything. But even with such carefulness, Jian Tong never thought that now, this couple, her biological parents, had already reached a point where they didn't even need to hide it.

"What should we do" Mrs. Jian looked nervously at the two people who had fainted in front of her, pointing to Su Meng and asking Jian Zhending, "What should we do about her"

She belongs to Shen Xiujin, and she drank the tea and fainted. Go call Wei Shu over.

Although Mrs. Jian was flustered, she immediately followed Mr. Jian's instructions.

After Jian Zhen Dong finished speaking, the burly man who had just been behind Jian Tong, used a handkerchief soaked in ether to cover Jian Tong's mouth, had already carried the unconscious Jian Tong like a sandbag. He put Jian Tong into a large sack big enough to fit an adult, and then carried the sack with the person inside back onto his shoulders.

An old man with white hair walked behind Mrs. Jian, Jian Zhen Dong pointed at Su Meng who was unconscious: "Take her away and make it look like a 'car accident' death."

Jian Tong still underestimated Jian Zhen Dong's ruthlessness. To say that Jian Tong didn't inherit all of Jian Zhen Dong's countless vicious schemes would be an understatement.

With a "car accident", Su Meng's death became unquestionable.

Mrs. Jian trembled, clutching Mr. Jian Zhendong's wrist tightly. Her fair skin was taut with veins, and a hint of pity lingered in her eyes:

" Zhen Dong... we're doing this, doing this... are we really going to do this"

“Do you think I want this” Jian Zhen Dong impatiently scratched his hair: “What can I do now Outsiders see our Jian family, rich and glorious, but don’t you know that our Jian family has reached a desperate moment … She is still my daughter. If it wasn't for a last resort, how could I be so ruthless”

"But..."

“No buts! You must remember! Everything we do is for the Jian family! For our son! If the Jian family goes bankrupt, Mo Bai will be nothing! Can you bear to see the Jian family go bankrupt, and Mo Bai, who was once a high-ranking young master, suddenly fall from grace and become a down-and-out stray dog”

What's the point of her living like that Neither human nor ghost, we helped her find release.

Uncle Wei, with his white hair, was also moving the unconscious Su Meng into her car. Jian Zhen Dong's words almost made Su Meng wake up prematurely!

It's too shameless!out of the car, Su Meng held onto Jian Tong's hand tightly, as if trying to transfer her courage from their intertwined palms to Jian Tong. She looked at Jian Tong very seriously before pushing the do...
