Chapter 350

d-blooded You're forcing my hand! Shen Xiujin!But I'm curious, beneath that cold-blooded and vicious heart, encased in this icy shell, is it also cold Or...perhaps burning with a fierce heat.At the so...I'm worried you have a small stomach and might not be able to eat much, or that it might burst if you try to eat too much.

"Grandpa," Jian Tong's clear eyes flashed with a glimmer, "I wonder if you like going online in your free time."

"What are you doing with this useless thing!" the old man said with a frown.

"There's a widely circulating joke online, grandpa, let me tell you about it" Jian Tong ignored the old man and said to herself:

There was a girl watching a romance drama. The plot was about a CEO falling for an ordinary girl, but his mother disapproved. However, the CEO loved her so much that he refused to let go.

Then the CEO's mother privately met Cinderella. As soon as they met, she pushed out a check for ten million and said, "As long as you leave my son, this ten million is yours." Cinderella was unwilling...for love.”

"So you're going to learn from Cinderella too"

"Don't be hasty..." Jian Tong blocked him: "Grandpa, guess what that girl in the TV drama said when she saw this plot"

She wasn't actually expecting an answer from the old man. Continuing, she said, "People say that if she were in this situation, she'd take a check for ten million and leave without hesitation. With ten million, what kind of young beefcake couldn't she get"

"So, what about you Jian Tong, are you going to take the things and leave"

Jian Tong chuckled lightly, her eyes twinkling as she looked up at the esteemed Mr. Shen: "That young lady chose to accept ten million because she didn't have ten million."

Jian Tong's eyes crinkled with a deeper smile: "Grandpa," she said, her lips curving into a faint smile, "I do."

"You..."

She interrupted the old man again, lowered her head and pointed at the black box on the table with her finger: "This is the condition you offered me... unfortunately," she suddenly raised her head and met Shen Lao's gaze: "I have them all."

"More importantly, can you convince Shen Xiujin!"

Whether to go or not was never her decision to make.

Besides, for Old Master Shen to do this... it was a humiliation.

Chapter 292: Testing

"So you're going to learn to be Cinderella from the television drama... for love" Old Master Shen's withered face seemed to smile and frown as he looked at Jian Tong.

It's clearly mocking Jian Tong's "love".

Jane chuckled wryly... The only love she had ever taken seriously in her life, the one she'd dreamt would end like a fairytale, had become a laughingstock in the eyes of others by accident.

It's just… I apologize, Old Master Shen. A flash of determination appeared in her eyes. Old Master Shen's intentions were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

To get rid of her, this old man had millions of ways, no need to choose the dumbest one.

Besides, if the only purpose was to get her to leave, why choose this particular time

Why not do it earlier or later, but precisely at this time

Jian Tong's gaze, without a trace, swept across Shen Yi behind Old Master Shen. Her mind raced. Since Shen Xiu Jin appeared at Erhai, there had been no sign of Shen Yi.

And since she returned to city S from Erhai Lake, she hadn't seen Shen Yi's figure at all.

This indicates that Shen Yi is not valued, and has even been half-raised and half-exiled.

Since Shen Yi was by Shen Xiu Jin's side, he and the other nine were together with Shen Xiu Jin since they were young. From Shen Yi to Shen Shi, they had a bond forged through growing up together that ordinary people couldn't understand.

Even if Shen Yi was no longer favored by Shen Xiuqin, the other nine people might not necessarily stop interacting with him privately.

She naturally wouldn't believe that Shen Er and Shen San would betray Shen Xiuqin.

But since they grew up together, it's hard to say Shen Yi wouldn't notice something off from the actions and demeanor of the nine people.

Furthermore, Shen Xiujin has not appeared in public for some time.

And Shen Er and Shen San, they also disappeared. While Xi Chen was in charge at the company, but Xi Chen's surname is Xi, not Shen. More or less, Shen Xiuqin should show his face.

No wonder...no wonder Su Meng would be suspicious.

Su Meng would start to doubt, could Old Fox Shen's perception be inferior to hers

She looked at the box on the table. The old man's purpose was to test her.

Three years ago, she had gambled nearly everything and frantically fled from Shen Xiujin's side.

Mr. Shen was very good at understanding people's hearts. Three years ago, the person who would do anything to escape from him, now Mr. Shen deliberately offered generous terms to let her leave. This should have been a dream come true.

If something were to happen to Shen Xiujin, then she could leave without any hesitation.

On the other hand, if she chooses to act impulsively today and takes the terms offered by Old Master Shen and leaves at night, it means—Shen Xiujing, something really happened.

Because only she was not under Shen Xiuqin's control, could she leave so recklessly.

Otherwise, as long as Shen Xiujin is still well, he won't let her leave.

Jian Tong had been thinking about what would happen tonight ever since Shen Yi stopped her.

Until she entered the old Shen residence and saw Old Master Shen, she was still guessing. But when the box was brought to her, she thought Old Master Shen was going to drive her away.

But the things inside the box were increasingly alarming — Old Mr. Shen was too generous.

"Grandpa, you understand better than anyone," Jian Tong said calmly. "What I just said... you should go persuade your grandson."

She spoke softly, her clear eyes revealing no trace of falsehood. On Old Mr. Shen's face, marred by wrinkles, she saw a flicker of rigidity... A slight curl of her lips, it seemed, she was right.

"Are you really not leaving

"

Consider this carefully.

Six years ago, how was he to you.

How did you, from a pampered princess, become a convict All the suffering you endured during this time was inflicted upon you by him.

Without him, Jian Tong, you're still the shining pearl of Shanghai.

"Don't you hate him"

Jian Tong said bitterly: "So, I did everything I could to escape."e last moment, it came back.Holding the book in his hand, he slammed it shut. The sound of the book closing was no less than that of something being smashed. With a dull thud, “Bang!” the book closed....
