re you done"The cold voice was completely different from the Jian Tong Xiao Heng had known before. Touching his aching left cheek, a hint of anger crept onto his handsome face. "Making a fuss Who's ma...In the crowd, one person could no longer hold back and stood up: "Jian Tong! He lied to you! From beginning to end, he never told you a single true word! You really just forgave this man so easily"

The woman who had just walked away had to stop. In her ears, she heard a familiar voice, the same one from years past. Back then, in the darkest period of her life, this voice was her only glimmer of hope. She once thought it came from an angel.

She came to a halt, slowly turned around, and met the gaze of the person who had walked out from the crowd... Finally, she spoke. She had thought that no matter what, this person wouldn't say a word today.

If that were the case, she would erase the thought she had speculated earlier.

It's a pity, things didn't go as planned.

The woman gazed at the man in the crowd with a faint look in her eyes: "This morning, before I went to Jian's place, I never expected that I would meet Shen Xiujin at the Shen Group."

"Then how..." the man asked urgently, his words cut short.

The woman smiled calmly at the man who had just walked out of the crowd.

"Similarly, I never expected to meet Mr. Xiao here."

Without looking back, he left.

Xiao Heng stared blankly at that departing figure.

She didn't directly accuse him, but she gave him a sharp reprimand... You, Xiao Heng, why are you at the Shen residence Why are you here by such a coincidence

Lu Ming had meticulously planned all this. Xiao Heng, could you possibly say you weren't involved

Xiao Heng wryly smiled... That woman, her heart has always been as clear as a mirror.

In that position, she couldn't help but admire: "Beautiful counter!" However, a simple sentence exposed his most unsightly side, laying bare the ugliness within him.

The elevator door chimed clearly, many eyes watched as the woman stepped inside, and the door silently closed.

The door to the Shen's meeting room was truly filled with a palpable sense of low pressure.

"Are you satisfied" Shen Xiujin's face was cold, his eagle-like eyes piercing the crowd and landing on Old Master Shen: "Grandfather, are you satisfied"

I did all this for this grand performance. Now that the goal is achieved, are you satisfied

Xi Chen stood behind Shen Xiu Jin, united against their common enemy.

Lu Ming's jealousy twisted his words: "No one forced you to pretend to be crazy or stupid, no one forced you to deceive Jian Tong. The moment you deceived her, you should have thought about the consequences."

It's not your grandfather who caused this situation, it's you, Shen Xiujian!

Chapter 314: Just Throw It Away

The woman on the sofa slept restlessly. Soon, a thin line of beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

In a dream

One moment it was scenes of her life as a child in the old Jian family house, with her grandfather still alive and well. The next, she was passionately pursuing Shen Xiujian. Then again, it was the scene of her at her peak at eighteen, a time of unparalleled glory.

The scene changed, showing her imprisoned in misery.

For a moment, the image of Ah Lu's foolish girl dying flashed before her eyes again. The scene shifted once more, showing her released from prison. Despite her hardships and struggle for survival, she was still unable to escape that person.

In the dream, there were still her parents, but they were mostly blurry.

"Tongtong, Axiu will accompany Tongtong for life and always want Tongtong to be happy."

A pure and innocent voice sounded.

She suddenly opened her eyes, staring at the snow-white ceiling. For a long time, she was dazed and confused, finally realizing that what had just happened was nothing more than a dream.

The woman stood up from the sofa. The sliding door to the balcony was ajar, and wind whistled through the gap, sending a chill down her spine. She shivered involuntarily, realizing she had broken out in a cold sweat without noticing.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, but she sat on the sofa as still and serene as a meditating monk. She was completely motionless, lost in thought like a sculpture.

This dream felt so real, it was like a replay of her entire life.

From prosperity to decline.

From proud and fearless, to trembling and afraid to face anyone.

Thanks to this dream, she remembered many things.

When she was little, her grandfather Jian was still around. She didn't understand much back then, she only knew that her grandfather was strict with her, but he was also very kind, even better than her own parents.

In the blink of an eye, she reached the age to start school and enrolled in the same elementary school as her older brother.

Her grandfather didn't make a big fuss sending her to school. Her brother had always received more care and affection from their parents, so each day for them was quite different.

Her brother has a driver from home to pick him up and drop him off, but she wouldn't ride with her brother to school.

When she first started school, she didn't stand out in any way. After only a few days, she was targeted by bullies at school. During breaks, she would be cornered in the restroom and subjected to various pranks.

Grandfather's requirement for her was that she wasn't allowed to use her family background to oppress others. If she had the ability, she should handle those who bullied her herself.

But at that time, she was small and weak. Senior students often bullied people in groups.

She would come home every day with some bruises. Those senior bullies, while mean-spirited, weren't stupid; they specifically targeted areas covered by her clothes.

Therefore, neither the grandfather nor the housemaid noticed anything.

Until one day, after dinner, she went upstairs to do her homework as usual. Her brother silently blocked her at the stairwell and dragged her into his bedroom. He pulled her school uniform collar down to her shoulders. She still remembers how angry she was at that time, her whole body felt dizzy, and she angrily scolded her brother without holding back.

She still remembered when her brother secretly took out the first-aid kit from under the bed and applied medicine to her silently. At that time, she was sulking because of shame and unwillingness for others to see her humiliated state, so she sarcastically mocked her brother, telling him to mind his own business and not to report to their grandfather. didn't seem to care about the business at all."Of course... business is important, right" The woman said insincerely in a slow voice, afraid that Zhao Zhao would unleash another attack. She used her...
