Chapter 251 She Knew Better Than Anyone Else

nto her current state 。 。Lu Chen was inexplicably terrified. He had known his best friend for over a decade, and he had never heard such words from him before, “You can just…” 。He still believed his...Clutching her phone, her hand trembled like autumn leaves. Xi Chen had never seen such a woman before. Her sorrow needed no words; just sitting there was a scene of autumnal heartbreak.

Mrs. Jian always felt a tightness in her chest, a feeling she didn't quite understand. This was a new emotion for her, one she had never experienced before. What worried her most was——

"Little one, how are you Mr. Shen—"

"Mr. Shen will let Mr. Jian off—" The woman on the rattan chair closed her eyes, interrupting Mrs. Jian's hurried question. A touch of joy appeared on Mrs. Jian's face for a moment, "Little Tong, I knew you..." were the softest-hearted.

But Jane, I'm the head of this household.

"What!" Mrs. Jian was struck dumb with shock, her exclamation ringing out like a thunderbolt, piercing the tranquility of the Erhai River bank. She pointed a finger at the woman on the wicker chair, eyes closed and oblivious to everything, her disbelief palpable.

"How can you!"

"I can," Jian Tong said slowly.

"This is unfilial! You, you, you--take advantage of the fire!"

Mrs. Jian was so angry that her chest heaved.

The woman on the wicker chair, just a faint smile, that smile was extremely shallow, but it made Mrs. Jian's teeth itch.

"I thought you were someone who didn't care, but it turns out you are the most ambitious! You want to take over Mo Bai's inheritance!" Mrs. Jian only had the phrase "Jian family, I am in charge" in her mind. She was flustered and pointed at Jian Zhen Dong: "Your father wouldn't agree! You've made a wrong calculation!"

"Hmph~" Jian Tong let out a cold snort, slowly opening her eyes and fixing her gaze on Mrs. Jian:

"Go back and ask Jian Zhen Dong, does he want to be the glamorous old patriarch of the Jian Group in S City, or does he want to end up penniless and burdened with debt, a poor wretch"

Jian Tong stared coldly at Jian Fu, his pale lips, which were rarely harsh towards others in Jian Fu's memory, continued, "I also say this to you, Jian Fu."

I'm in charge now. You are still Mrs. Jian of the S City wealthy circle, and Jian Mo Bai is still the young master of the Jian family. Your monthly salary will remain the same as before, not a single cent less.

His medical expenses would never be lacking. Mrs. Jian's monthly expenses were 50,000 yuan.

If Mrs. Jian and Mr. Jian are unwilling, the Jian family will become a history of S city from now on. Mrs. Jian, being so intelligent, should think for herself what is the most beneficial choice.

Mrs. Jian's ears buzzed!

But what scared her even more was Jian Tong's eyes — bloodshot and wide with fear!

Jian Tong waved her hand: "Go back and think about it. Ask Mr. Jian, let's go."

She was exhausted, utterly exhausted, watching Mrs. Jian flee in a huff, a flash of triumph in her eyes!

They took her few remaining treasures, not asking but forcing her. She knew it was wrong, that she shouldn't, yet she couldn't refuse!

Now, she could take this family, the one who was like her own life, the Jians. She looked at where Mrs. Jian had already left… Dear Mr. Jian, Mrs. Jian, Young Master Jian, do you feel pain

Those eyes, bloodshot and filled with both elation and despair… a despair that was also exhilarating!

Shen Group

Office of the President

"It's her." He sat across from his desk, listening quietly to the phone call.

He was certain, it was her—Jian Tong.

At this time, the bell rang again.

Xichen is calling.

On the phone, Xi Chen only said, "Mrs. Jian used the late Mr. Jian, they used Mr. Jian's... name. So… despicable!"

The man's eyes were flat: "I guessed it." That woman, she didn't even care about Jian Mo Bai's life or death. What else in the Jian family was worth her caring about

This phone call, seeming like a plea for mercy, to that woman, was a decision of increasing difficulty.

His heart ached inexplicably. His phoenix eyes drooped, filled with loneliness. That woman... he'd pushed her away again.

Knowing it's wrong, yet doing it anyway.

Loss, and coercion.

He just wanted to hold on tight, no matter what... even if it meant confinement!

He would keep her by his side, for life. Even if he died and went to hell, suffering the tortures of the eighteen levels of hell, he wouldn't let her go.

Xi Chen suddenly laughed: “But Jian Tong is certainly not a vegetarian. Jian Shi, she wants to be the boss. You didn't see Mrs. Jian's face then, it was a sight!”

Only the face of Old Master Jian could make Xiaotong call me. They dared to bring up Old Master Jian, so they must know that woman has a temper,” Shen Xiujin said in a low voice: “She wants to be the head of the Jian family, and she should.”

Now, being part of the Jian family is more than she could ask for. This means she has to leave behind that simple life by Erhai Lake and return to S City. Returning to S City also means she'll have to re-enter society. That way, he can keep her by his side forever.

Xi Chen understood Shen Xiu Jin's little plans. With a chuckle, he said, "Don't push people too hard." Then he hung up.

He let out a low chuckle: “Old Master Jian doesn’t truly care for her.” Why would that woman, call just because of Old Master Jian's insincere kindness towards her

"To call her stupid or simply out of touch" On this point, he disagreed with Jian Tong.

With a sudden "whoosh," the man across from him stood up abruptly. The chair behind him creaked slightly, and his towering figure loomed over Land Mingchu, casting him in shadow.

"Neither stupid nor oblivious." Shen Xiujin's cold eyes fell on Lu Mingchu's face, his gaze indifferent:

Do you think the child really can't see through it

"Or was it that for over a decade she couldn't tell whether Old Master Jian's goodness came with strings attached"

"Why then..."

Shen Xiujin's eyes grew deeper, gradually climbing with a profound pain:

She understands, she understands everything.

She never speaks.

When the old madam was alive, he didn't speak; when she passed away, he remained silent.

She just had to run 'Wei Ai' well — that was the only hope Old Master Jian had for her, the only thing he hoped she would do well as a member of the Jian family.

"The only thing "Yiqi" hoped for, and the only thing she could do, was to love. Grand Elder Jian's domineering nature wouldn't allow Yiqi to manage anything about the Jian family, so he gave her a "love only."

Lu Mingchu was a little angry: “You also understand the old master Jian’s intention. It wasn't kindness towards her, but rather charity in the name of love. Is that considered kindness She just weakened herself for such an Old Master Jian” He couldn’t accept it!

One is to feel that such a simple child is too stupid.

Second, she thought it was strange that she would be so cold and unwilling to yield to him, yet so easily submit to Mr. Shen!

Shen Xiujin's lips curled into a light smile, cold and disdainful. Lu Mingchu raised his head, just in time to meet the disdain in Shen Xiujin's eyes.

He didn't have time to be angry. The other party raised their eyebrow lightly and said:

She knew, you could see through everything she did.

But that was one of the few sunny days in her life.” From then on, Shen Xiuqin only felt a tightness in his throat and a pain in his heart, for her, for that foolish woman.

She knew it wasn't pure, she knew it was conditional, yet she still dove headfirst into it. Just like with him, knowing loving him would be tiring, that foolish woman, back then, also plunged in headfirst. From then on, it marked the beginning of her suffering.

He, Shen Xiujin, is the beginning of all the hardships that Jian Tong, that foolish woman, has endured.

This lifetime, pamper her to the bone, he is willing.

Lu Ming was initially shocked, his heart trembling uncontrollably... Someone knew it was a lie, yet still offered their sincerity

Is there really such a person in this world

He couldn't help but believe it!

She only remembers the good things about Old Master Jian, not the bad. In her eyes, there is only the good in Old Master Jian. Do you really think she's naive and ignorant!

"Lu Mingchu, the woman I fell in love with, was just like this." The man's thin lips curled up, his eyes warm and proud.

Sheng Xiujin's annoying voice echoed in Lu Mingchu's ear: "What about you Lu Mingchu, what do you love"

Bang—

Thunder in my ears!

And you Lu Mingchu, what is it that you love!

What did I love Lu Mingchu walked out of Shen Xiujin's office in a daze, not knowing how he got there. He ignored everyone who passed him on the way and stepped into the elevator. He didn't come to his senses until the elevator door opened with a "ding" at the underground parking lot.

In Lu Ming's initially vacant eyes, a spark of light gradually reignited—Wan had arrived in her life. She no longer needed to envy Shen Xiuqin for their mutual understanding; her past was beyond her reach, but her future was not set in stone.

He's just... late. 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...
