epended on how much impact this heavy bomb he'd left behind would have.Thinking of Jian Tong, Lu Chen's expression was a little complicated, with a hint of apology in his eyes. "...I'm sorry, Jian Ton...The next day, all major newspapers, the headline shocking news!

— The mysterious heir of the Jian family, seeking revenge!

—— Qianjin's low-key return is to save Jian Shi from danger, or is there another purpose

— Shocking news! The Jian family has undergone a sudden change in leadership. There's turmoil within the group, and no one in the Jian family is available. Chaos reigns supreme!

---- Amidst riches beyond imagination, the Jian family's daughter disregards familial ties and wields life and death with her own hand!

This eye-catching headline, almost overnight, dominated the front pages of major newspapers.

An insider revealed that Jian Mo Bai, the young master of the Jian family, is critically ill. He has been diagnosed with leukemia. The only person whose bone marrow matches his is Miss Jian, but she refuses to donate it to her own brother!

For a time, Jian Tong's negative news stories outnumbered the positive ones about her.

Shen Xiujin had just gotten up, and on the dining table downstairs, the housekeeper had already prepared breakfast. As usual, several copies of major newspapers were laid out on the table.

At a glance, Shen Xiujin angrily threw the newspaper aside. His face was ashen, and he gritted out through his teeth: "Investigate! Find out who did this!"

Shen Er had been waiting quietly by the side.

At that, he nodded curtly.

The man beside the dining table, his face was so grim it couldn't be worse. He glared at the newspaper lying on the floor, and almost fire could be seen in those beautiful phoenix eyes!

He went to great lengths, using every trick and temptation he could think of, to finally coax the person back to City S. Before he could even begin his grand plan to win her back, these damned sons of bitches showed up to cause trouble. He hadn't even had a chance to use his honeyed words or his act of self-sacrifice!

If he pushed people away again, Shen Xiujin would have no second chance to find someone!

Shen Er stood beside him, clearly hearing his Boss's gritted teeth. A chill ran down his spine.

Since Shen Yi had made a mistake, he was ignored and never given important tasks by Shen Xiujin again. He was almost like a background character, adding nothing to the story. Shen Xiujin severely punished Shen Yi, but didn't drive him away. Others didn't understand why, but Shen San and those who continued to work beside Shen Xiujin knew the truth. Whether it was Shen Yi, Shen Er, or anyone else,

Although they are subordinates working for Shen Xiujin, they grew up together as companions from a young age.

Three years ago, Shen San gradually replaced Shen Yi and, together with Shen Er, became Shen Xiu Jin's right-hand men.

Shen Xiujian's eyes were full of danger, his face turning iron-grey as he called Xicheng: "Check the front page of today's newspaper for me. Find out who pulled the strings. And do me another favor." Shen Er might not be able to find out more than Xicheng here.

Xichen was still asleep when a phone call woke him up. His voice was still groggy, but he jumped out of bed in surprise and said incredulously:

"Did I hear that right When did you, Ah Xiu, ever become so polite to your brother" He even used the word "help" in a good-natured tone.

Shen Xiujin frowned. If this matter wasn't related to Jian Tong, he would have hung up on this guy right now. He was feeling uncomfortable the whole time they were talking politely. Without good temper, he said:

"From now on, nothing about Jian Tong should be reported in the newspapers."

Xichen's head was spinning, his phone buzzing incessantly with a cacophony of missed calls.

"Hmm... What's going on"

Xi Chen was still drowsy from sleep just a moment ago, but suddenly he jolted awake. Could it be…

Hurry and shouted, “Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu, quickly bring today's newspaper in for me!”

Lu Bo was the steward of the Xi clan.

Because of the special nature of the Xi family's business, the Xi family never lacked daily newspapers from major news agencies. Soon, a stack of newspapers was placed on a wooden tray and put on Xi Chen's bedside table.

Before it even settled, Xi Chen had already "whooshed" and grabbed the newspaper, quickly skimming through it.

Actually, there's no need to look hard. It's right on the front page, very noticeable!

Chen didn't need to read through each one from beginning to end. Just by looking at the titles, he instantly understood why Mr. Shen was in such a bad mood this morning.

Resist the urge to roll my eyes... Mr. Shen, only when he encounters that woman will he get this nervous. He said it himself, Mr. Shen today asked him to do something, and he actually politely said "one more favor" to him.

For a moment, a myriad of emotions surged through me... Everyone said that Shen Xiuqin changed Jian Tong's life, but in reality, it was Jian Tong who, like warm water simmering a frog, day by day, changed Shen Xiuqin completely.

……

When Jian Tong opened the door, Shen Xiuqin was already dressed neatly and stood at her door.

The moment the door opened, Jian Tong was still startled and took a step back by the person standing at the entrance.

Suddenly, an iron arm wrapped around her waist. She could clearly feel it, like a pair of iron pincers, tightly gripping her waist, causing every inch of her skin to ache.

"Let me go, Mr. Shen," the woman said calmly, her tone so even that one would think the man she was currently in close contact with was merely a stranger she'd brushed past on the street, nothing more than an accidental collision.

The stars in a man's eyes dimmed, for this was the feeling of being rejected by someone you loved. He had once, with disdain, refused this woman too. Back then, she must have felt this indescribable pain.

The man's dark eyes were welling with bitterness.

But, compared to bitterness, he preferred seeing her. Her laughter, the disdain in her eyes as she looked at him, the disgust on her face. Suddenly! The arm around her waist tightened its grip, the man silently lowered his gaze... It was good that she was right before him... Not a dream!

He tightened his arms, a pair of iron arms, tightly imprisoning her between them. Sensing the resistance of the person in his embrace, he also, at this moment, clearly felt the bitter pain coming from his heart. But, what could compare to — she was still by his side, sleeping in his arms, could anything be more fortunate and happy

"Don't move, okay" His voice had become hoarse at some point. The man held the woman, his large hand gripping her small head. "Just like this, let me lean on you for a while. Okay"

She hesitated, the hand that she had intended to push away. Was it her imagination

She absurdly felt that the man before her was begging her at this moment.

Shen Xiujin begged her

Shen Xiujian begs Jian Tong

Joke!

What a joke!

This man, strong enough to beg others

She felt both ridiculous and curious, wondering what game this person was playing.

During that moment of stunned contemplation, the hand she extended froze mid-air, forgetting to push him away.

In that brief moment of stunned silence, the man finally relaxed his tense heart—he was truly afraid she would push him away.

If so...

The man slammed on the brakes!

He didn't dare to think about that "what if".

He embraced her tightly, so tightly that it seemed as if he would melt her whole being into his flesh and blood.

Gently, he rested his jaw on the soft crown of her head, the man closing his eyes with satisfaction... This was good. This time, it wasn't a dream.

The scent of shaving cream on his jaw drifted into her nostrils, a uniquely cool fragrance that belonged to this man. At this moment, Jian Tong's eyes were filled with an indescribable complexity.

She thought she understood Shen Xiujin, but at this moment, she couldn't understand him at all. What did he want to do now

Those terrible memories surged in like a tidal wave, flashing before her eyes. Suddenly, she felt suffocated and overcome with pain.

That's enough!

That's…enough!ow did he find out!This matter, apart from her and the finance director, no one else knew!The finance director, absolutely couldn't ruin his career. After all, knowing that Jian Zhen Dong had taken th...
