Tong has such a high sense of self-esteem, she would absolutely not do such a thing! Could it be that the child from the He family, got it wrong""Grandfather He called personally. What do you think"...Shen's Building

A black Bentley rolled to a stop, first stepping out was a long leg, followed by Shen Xiuqin gracefully getting down and walking around to the passenger side, opening the door.

Shen Xiujin narrowed his eyes, looking at the woman in the car who remained silent and uncommunicative throughout the journey. He didn't urge her, patiently waiting for the woman in the car to make her own choice.

Even now, Jian Tong still didn't know why, at that moment, she had conceded to him, changed into the suit he had prepared for her, and obeyed his orders.

A wave of self-loathing washed over me—hating this incompetent self, hating this self that didn't even dare to resist!

As it neared work time, the number of Shen Industries employees coming and going increased. Jian Tong couldn't stand those furtive, curious gazes, so she gritted her teeth and got out of the car.

As she got off the car, the eyes of those entering and exiting Shen's Building became even more curious and eager, almost nervously dropping their heads and burying them deep in their chests, as if trying to avoid being seen by anyone... She was afraid of so many people, afraid of these gazes. It was like someone who had lived in darkness for a long time suddenly walked outdoors and came into contact with the sunlight. They wouldn't feel warmth, only blinding light. The same principle applied here.

Shen Xiujin walked in the front, Jian Tong following behind. As Shen Xiujin entered the main entrance of Shen's Building, he suddenly stopped, turned sideways, and looked back at Jian Tong.

That woman hesitated at the doorway, unwilling to move past it, to cross that threshold, that line of defense.

Shen Xiujin narrowed his eyes… Back then, this woman walked into his company, even into his office, with such arrogance and confidence.

Xia Wei Ming has always been shy, it's never been Jian Tong.

Today, the past remains in our memories, while reality is no longer what it used to be.

He remembered her after prison, her humiliation in front of everyone, and last night's near-perfect defense posture, the scene where she cried out "Don't hit me" in fear...

If, in those three years, she had lost something important, he thought, he must help her find it back... If, by bringing a smile to her face, was how Xiao Heng loved her, then helping her regain her lost dignity and pride - that was his way of loving her.

"You can walk in and come to the meeting with me; or you can turn around now and go back to your residence." Shen Xiujin scanned Jian Tong lightly: "I'm not joking, and I won't stop you."

Jian Tong bit her lip, staring at the man across from her, trying to read his intentions from his face. But Shen Xiujin always kept a stoic expression, and even more so now with his calm and indifferent gaze, she couldn't decipher anything.

Two choices... huh

She was still half-buried, only using the corner of her eye to carefully scan the surroundings. Those people were also stealthily peering at her, their curious eyes, at this moment, felt like raging beasts to her. She cautiously glanced at Shen Xiuqin in front of her again.

Raise your ears, to those hushed voices, rustling with whispers and murmurs, and those curious glances tinged with disdain...

"Who is this woman, why is she so timid..."

"How could Mr. Shen know someone as petty as this…"

"Look at her, she's wearing a designer outfit, but it can't hide her poverty..."

Sporadic sounds, though not fully audible, gave me a general idea.

Her face was deathly pale, her head buried low, lips clamped tightly shut, tasting a hint of metallic blood.

Shen Xiujin's gaze remained fixed on her, while the whispers and murmurs around them, Jian Tong could hear them, he naturally heard some too, but Shen Xiujin didn't rebuke those people. He just had a pair of eyes, focused intently on Jian Tong...Back then, Jian Tong was fearless of words. She had arrogantly said to him: Why should I care about the opinions of someone who is inferior to me

And today's Jian Tong, whether these gazes or these words, to her, are like ferocious beasts and a raging flood, capable of drowning her with ease.

Those disdainful eyes, those mocking words... Turning around, Jian Tong ran, limping to the roadside and hailing a taxi.

Shen Xiujin did not go to stop her, quietly watching the woman hail a taxi and leave.

Thin lips pursed, beckoning with a finger behind him. Shen Yi leaned in, and Shen Xiujin moved his lips close to Shen Yi's ear in a low voice: "Go follow her. Also, pay for her taxi fare; she doesn't have any money on her."

"Yes, Boss."

Shen Xiujin glanced at where Jian Tong had left, then turned and walked in. His long, narrow eyes flashed a gleam for a moment: She escaped today, but there's tomorrow.

……

As soon as the meeting ended, Shen Xiujin immediately left the company.

A Bentley drove into Jian Tong's residential complex, following the address to find Jian Tong's dormitory.

Knock knock.

"Who" the person in the house asked.

The man outside the door remained silent and, raising his finger again, knocked on the door twice.

The door opened: “Who... how is it you”

"How can it not be me" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

Jian Tong pursed her lips, wanting to say something but ultimately held back. She asked somewhat awkwardly, "Mr. Shen... you're here, is there anything"

"Won't you invite me in for a cup of tea"

"There is no tea at home."

Plain water is fine.

"Come in."

Shen Xiujin ignored Jian Tong's unwillingness and stepped into the house.

“I’ll get some water…” The woman hung her head and walked towards the kitchen, but suddenly she was grabbed by the arm. Shen Xiuqin’s low voice cut through the air like steel as he said, “No need, pack your things and come with me.”

"Where to I don't need to pack, let's just go."

As soon as he looked up, the man gave a half-smile: "What I mean is, pack your things. You won't be living here anymore."

"... Where would she live" Panic surged through her. If she didn't live here, where else could she go

"Live with me." Shen Xiujin said, each word clear and distinct.

Jian Tong froze in place, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears.

“Mr. Shen, I live here, it’s pretty good.”

Shen Xiujin didn't answer her, he raised his wrist to glance at the time: "You have fifteen minutes to get ready, after that, I'll take you away." After saying this, he glanced at her and added a reminder: "Whether or not you're ready."

"Mr. Shen, this is authoritarianism! You're being unreasonable! I live here perfectly fine and I don't want to move." I definitely don't want to live with you!

Shen Xiujin said calmly, "What you want to say most is that you don't want to live with me, right"

When Jian Tong heard this, he suddenly turned pale!

Seeing her like this, Shen Xiujin let out a light chuckle: "It seems I was right." The smile on his face vanished the next second, replaced by a cold look in his eyes: "One quarter of an hour. No room for negotiation."thsA lump formed in her chest, and she stared hard, refusing to blink. She was afraid that if she blinked, the tears would come streaming down uncontrollably!Why bother… so many excuses!“Want ‘love on...
