are too impetuous.""You!" You're not being rash, you Shen Daye are the real deal! That's enough."Have a meal and eat your fill, then you'll have the energy to play with the kitten."Bai Yu xing listene...“Speaking half-truths,”

Mr. Shen was testing her, she knew it.

Facing this old fox of a grandfather, she didn't dare to relax for a moment.

Yes, three years ago you went to great lengths to finally escape to safety, out of his sight.

Jian Tong, now, an opportunity lies before you.

As long as you take the box on the table and then leave this city, disappearing without a trace... You'll be truly free." Elder Shen's voice was hoarse, each word he uttered seemed to grip people's hearts, stirring up their deepest desires.

Jian Tong quietly pinched her own leg meat... It really was tempting. It made her heart flutter.

Glancing at Old Master Shen, I almost... got swayed by him.

A thin film of sweat coated his forehead, Jian Tong nonchalantly shook his head:

"I dare not."

A single "I dare not" brought a trace of disappointment to Old Master Shen's eyes.

"Grandpa, why are you making things difficult for me If you truly want to help me, it would be better to have a good talk with your grandson instead."

Facing him… I'm afraid of him, you understand."

A "I'm afraid" and a "I fear him" had already shaken the conjectures in Old Master Shen's mind.

"Are you really not leaving This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." But the old man was still probing, not giving up.

Little Jian Tong didn't know what she felt in her heart. When she indirectly stated that Shen Xiu Jin was still well, there was a fleeting disappointment in Old Master Shen's eyes... He was her dear grandfather after all!

In the story, Cinderella doesn't leave because of love.

“I won’t leave because I’m afraid,” she said, lifting her head to give the old man a bitter smile. “If he refuses, I can’t escape at all. You see, I ran away for three years, but in the end, I meekly returned to S City, back under his watchful eye.”

On the old man's face, etched with wrinkles, his thin lips were tightly pressed together. His stern gaze fell on Jian Tong, as if he wanted to see through her.

The more Jian Tong nonchalantly rejected him, the more he pretended not to care about his proposal, the more his heart pounded. Could it be that he was overthinking things...

Of course, Shen Xiujin was his grandson, once his most beloved grandson, but this grandson was disobedient and too domineering.

The Shen family were powerful, of course that was good, but... more forceful than even his old self... Old Master Shen's turbid eyes grew cold.

Looking at the woman standing in the hall again, I found her increasingly annoying. Since I couldn't find out anything about her, she was useless to me.

"Well then, this old man won't say much more." He asked the old steward beside him, "What time is it"

"Grandpa, it's almost twelve o'clock."

"Oh—" The old man sighed softly, already standing up with his cane: "It's so late, why didn't you remind me it was time for rest. Don't let this happen again."

The words seemed to carry a hint of reproach.

The old butler lowered his eyebrows and smiled kindly: "Yes, I've taken note of that."

People leave, tea grows cold. Jian Tong was left alone in the Shen family's old house reception hall just like that.

Shen Yi walked forward and said, "Please."

Jian Tong followed Shen Yi wholeheartedly, right out of the Shen residence. The night wind hit her face, sending shivers down her spine.

Behind her, stood the tightly shut doors of the old house... Really... A wry smile played on her lips.

Chapter 293: Unspeakable Love

In this location of the Shen family's old house, it is impossible to get a car here.

Walk along the road until you reach a fork, that's where you can see taxis driving past on the street.

Jian Tong dragged her weary body forward, step by step. Old Master Shen didn't even bother with the pretense of civility, letting her leave this situation. Most decent families would have helped out with something like this anyway.

Mr. Shen simply ignored her, not even sending a car to see her off.

After leaving the Shen family's old house, Jian Tong slowly walked along this private road towards the fork.

"Just a moment."

Behind her, someone called out. She turned and looked back.

A car slowly drove up and stopped beside her. The window rolled down, and Shen Yi's head poked out: "I'll give you a ride."

He’s so kind…… Jian Tong quietly looked for a while, then raised a light arc: “Then thank you.”

He got into the car silently, opening the door and sliding in.

Shen Yi started the car and drove out of the junction smoothly, onto the highway.

Until the car reached the highway and traffic thinned out, in the backseat, Jian Tong rubbed her aching waist: “Go on.”

The driver's hand on the steering wheel stiffened slightly, "What"

Jian Tong chuckled lightly: "I thought you bypassed Old Mr. Shen, drove after me, and claimed to give me a ride for another reason."

"What reason could I possibly have to send you back and then have you suspect me"

"Miss Jane, is your mind always so heavy"

"Really You're really just going to send me back" She didn't believe it, not one bit.

In the car, a moment of silence.

Jian Tong watched the streetlights whizzing past outside the window. Since Shen Yi didn't say anything, why should she ask

What needs to be said, will be said.

For a long time

"How's the boss doing lately"

A hint of understanding flashed in Jian Tong's eyes... Sure enough, it wasn't that kind.

Then you should ask him. After all, your surname is Shen.

Shen Yi was silent for a moment, then said: "Miss Jian, you are very smart, I have to admit that.

I chased you out not just to send you home.

I have many questions I'd like to ask Miss Jian privately. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance yet.

"You ask."

"Wei Ming...Miss...do you still remember her"

Jian Tong's finger trembled, "Of course." She slowly raised her head and looked at the back of the driver's head.

The streetlights outside cast flickering shadows on her face. In the faint light filtering through them, her expression remained calm, devoid of any spark or emotion.

"Miss Wei Ming is dead."

"Hmm."

She gave a faint reply.

Shen Yi's shoulder trembled slightly.

Jane simply remained indifferent.

Miss Wei Ming was subjected to such humiliation at the time of her death.

"

"Uh huh."

With his back turned to Jian Tong, Shen Yi's eyes were slightly red., I care just as much about my work.Just like he treated his job as his wife."Sir, it's the young master of the Du family..."Before he could finish his words, a faint voice came from behind the smoke-...
