“...”"A few days ago, I forgot something I had just bought in my dorm room and hurried back. That's when I found you lying on the ground unconscious. I immediately rushed you to the hospital. I can't...In the partnership and care between French De Menville and Shen Xiuqin, she chose the latter.

Vivian was furious when she heard this and called Jane, "Are you crazy, Jane Don't you know what the situation is at JIan’s right now"

Okay!

Even if we were to assume that the Jian family was at its peak, making friends with Miller would have been an absolute win-win situation for them.

Jane simply didn't answer right away. She was taken aback: "How did you know about Miller"

Vivian sneered: "Little one, I know what you're thinking."

It's a shame you got that wrong this time.

Kane Ferrell has visited the company in person before.

I would never just give your contact information to anyone.

When he came to look for you, I noticed he seemed rather flustered. Upon inquiring further, I learned that the reason for his haste was due to something about Millar.

Mírfar's whereabouts were always uncertain, so when he did appear, it was a rare and valuable opportunity.

When I checked again, it was Kane Feroch who told me you didn't want to go.

Vivian said impatiently, “Child, if you are sick, then even if you want to go, I won't let you.”

But you are now better.

Why

Vivian asked with a hint of authority.

Jian Tong pursed her lips, "It's nothing, I just don't want to go."

"What on earth are you thinking!" Vivian shouted, then hung up the phone.

Twenty minutes later, at the front door of Jian Tong's home, a frantic doorbell rang.

She thought it was her takeout delivery, so she went to the door and opened it. As soon as she opened the door, Vivian rushed in, looking flustered.

"Child, I don't believe you have no reason to make such an irrational choice." She was so angry her mouth was on fire, she picked up the teacup from the table and poured it straight into her mouth.

Before I could even take a sip, the teacup was snatched away.

Vivian stared at the person who came, a slight surprise in her eyes, "Mr. Shen"

When Jian Tong knew about Shen Xiuqin being shot and seriously wounded in Rome, Italy, she just knew. Later, when Jian Tong came back, Shen Xiuqin naturally recovered from the danger and returned to S city.

She was just surprised to see this person in Jian Tong's temporary home.

"Mr. Shen," she immediately reached out her hand in a businesslike manner.

“This is TongTong’s cup, you are not allowed to drink it.” The man stared at her distantly, clutching the teacup in his hand defensively, preventing her from taking it.

Looking at Shen Xiujin like this, Vivian suddenly felt a strange sense of amusement. She looked at the man strangely. Jian Tong unobtrusively blocked Vivian's line of sight: "Go back first, there are things to discuss when you arrive at the company."

Vivian's surprise flashed across her eyes before disappearing. She looked at Jian Tong... Was she trying to get rid of me

"Child! I can't wait that long.

Today you must tell me the reason why you are letting go of such a great opportunity This is not like you.” Jian Tong was capable of working day and night for work, she would never let go of such a good opportunity. For Jian Shi, this chance to turn danger into safety was just abandoned.

There must be some reasons I don't know about.

"Tongtong, Ashu is cold," the man's childish voice interrupted Vivian's thoughts.

Hearing these childlike coos of endearment, she almost dropped her jaw.

Jian Tong had already grasped Shen Xiujin: "Go back to your room first." He pressed his voice, muttering darkly.

She could only coax Shen Xiujian back to the bedroom first. After all, the fewer people who knew about this kind of dementia, the better. She never expected Vivian to suddenly show up at her house.

It's not that I don't trust Vivian, it's just that the fewer people who know about this, the safer it is.

"Little one, he... isn't Mr. Shen, is he" Vivian was shrewd and had already noticed something was off. She reached out and grabbed Jian Tong's arm, her other hand making a gesture to her temple as if to say "something's wrong with your brain."

"No..."

"Tong Tong, you're cold, Xiu is so cold."

Jian Tong almost wanted to throw this troublesome creature out of the house.

"No way, he's really here..."

"Enough, Vivian." Jian Tong's face darkened.

She dislikes people saying that someone has a problem with their brain. For some reason, she just doesn't like it.

But seeing that Vivian already knew, there was no need to explain further. Explaining more would only make things worse.

She pressed her lips together and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water for him. Then she went back to the bedroom to get a thick coat: “You’re sick, so lie down and rest. Who told you to come out”

Vivian stared at him with wide, incredulous eyes. Jane gestured for her to sit down.

She stared at Shen Xiujian, who was quietly drinking water on the side, her eyes wide with disbelief. She then sat down on the sofa. As astute as she was, she immediately grasped one thing:

"Child, you wouldn't have given up the chance to get close to Michael just because of him, would you"

Jane remained silent.

Vivian exclaimed, "Jian Tong, are you doing this for him Are you crazy!"

Jian Tong first turned to Shen Xiu Jin and said, “You go back to the bedroom first, be good.” That person reluctantly replied with an “oh” and left.

She then said:

He's sick, with a high fever. I can't leave.

"He's sick, and you just give up on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" Vivian laughed bitterly:

"He only has a fever!"

Vivian's anger grew with each word, her voice rising in fury. Her chest heaved with indignation:

He is sick, someone can take care of him.

We can send him back to the Shen family.

There are so many ways, yet you chose to stay for him.

Do you know, what you gave up wasn't just an opportunity to get close to Miller.

What you are giving up is an opportunity for all JianShi employees!

You made the entire Jian Shi team give up a light and easy path, choosing instead a difficult and risky one.

"Child, you have disappointed me this time."

If she did not know the true nature of Jane's problem, she would not be so anxious now.

Seeing an ultimate shortcut appear, yet so easily saying no to it and just not taking it.

Jian Tong fell silent. Vivian sprang to her feet:

"Child, you've been possessed! You've gone mad! Don't you forget what he did to you before!" Vivian watched Jian Tong's face suddenly pale. She realized she had spoken the wrong thing, but at this moment, more than anything else, there was anger towards Jian Tong's unwillingness to fight back:

Every single thing he did to you is unforgivable. What could possibly make it worth giving up the chance to see Miles Has he even apologized to you for any of it

Has he ever told you he loves you

Besides, who knows when he'll be able to recover to normal given his current state

"Are you going to take care of a child for your whole life!"

Every word is like a knife, striking at the vital points!

Jian Tong's slight frame trembled imperceptibly, her palm instinctively clenching the sofa cushion to prevent herself from collapsing...After that, the words she had buried in her heart, the realities she had tried to avoid, were mercilessly laid bare before her by Vivian.

With her head hung low, she seemed devoid of any soul.

Slowly, raising his head, "Vivian, if he recovered consciousness, I would rather be cold to him."

The awake Shen Xiujin, I loathe him, and can never forgive him. I only wish that when I meet this person again in my life, it will be in the underworld.

If this person were the Shen Xiuqin who was awake, grievances and hatred would be a matter between the two of them. She hated him, resented him, and he would have to bear it all.

But this man was oblivious, consumed by resentment. He had forgotten, but it had become her burden alone. She hated him, resented him, and he couldn't understand why. She stumbled, asking her why she disliked him so much, but she couldn't possibly lay bare those past sordid, oppressive events before a child with only an eight-year-old's understanding… Even at the very least, she couldn’t do that.

He wasn't clear-headed, this disoriented Shen Xiuqin wasn't the past Shen Xiuqin. This hazy Shen Xiuqin used every way he could think of to be good to me, even if it was childish. But it was him being good to me, Jian Tong, regardless of anything else.

I admit, I have become greedy.

Yearning for the warmth of an eight-year-old child. Vivian... what do you want me to do Push away the few "warmths" I have with my own hands"

"It is I who choose to hate and resent, but that resentment belongs to the one who is awake, not an eight-year-old child."s tall frame pressing down."Get out! Get out of here!" Her cheeks were trembling uncontrollably, and she reached out to push him away.Naturally, it was effortlessly caught and pressed against the top...
