Chapter 119: Calm Before the Storm

, who is rich, handsome, learned and intelligent, of course he wouldn't be like those commoners, queuing up to play in broad daylight.""Without a stage, how can I possibly show off the charm of little...“Alright, just call Mr. Xiao over. When he arrives, we can also have him take a look at his so-called good friend and see if they really care about his feelings.”

Jian Tong wanted to laugh, this man, how could he think that his thoughts were his own And how could he think she didn't want to tell everything to Xiao Heng

Oh... About in this man's eyes, she is a shameless woman!

"You..." Kane's eyes changed, becoming even more disgusted: "You really make me sick. You say I don't care about Xiao Heng's feelings, but when you say that, it proves that you don't care about his feelings either. Xiao Heng truly cares for you with all his heart. It's a shame he entrusted himself to the wrong person."

Jian Tong thought to herself: Yes, I entrusted it to the wrong person.

"I agree with you, Mr. Cain."

Kane didn't expect Jian Tong to admit it so openly!

Indescribable rage! I can't bear to see Xiao Heng treated this way!

"Don't get cocky! I will definitely make him see what kind of woman you are! You, like a tumor, I won't allow such a menace to stay by my friend's side and harm him!"

After finishing, he let go of her hand.

……

Jian Tong and Kane almost arrived at the private room back to back.

Xiao Heng's eyes flickered, and as Kane just sat down, he looked up and met Xiao Heng's deep gaze.

"There's no smell of smoke on you." Xiao Heng's thin lips moved, his icy gaze fixed on Kane across from him.

He said he was going for a smoke, but there wasn't a trace of cigarette smell on him. He returned to the private room shortly after Jian Tong, and coupled with Kain's previous seemingly targeted remarks towards Jian Tong, Xiao Heng recalled that Kain had also followed Jian Tong out of the room before.

For a moment, his face grew even colder.

Lu Chen stood beside her, his hand holding the coffee cup paused at his lips.

"I just went to say hello to Miss Jian, after all, we met at the Donghuang and are somewhat acquainted, wouldn't you say"

Xiao Heng narrowed his eyes: "I know she works for the Donghuang, you don't have to be so cryptic."

Kane almost laughed, directly, his long fingers took out a cigarette case and in front of Jian Tong, with a click, lit a cigarette, taking a slow puff.

Xiao Heng raised his chin further and said to Kane, "Do you want to go outside for a smoke"

What did you just do

He said, when has Caine ever cared about other people's opinions

Lu Chen looked at something amiss, he stood up immediately: "I remember, I have something to do. I just had a little bit of wine, Kane, can you drive me"

Without further ado, he pulled Kane up and said, "Ms. Jane, let's get together again next time."

After the person left, Xiao Heng turned around and meticulously examined Jian Tong from head to toe: “What did he do to you”

"No."

"Then what did he say to you"

It was just a greeting.

Xiao Heng frowned and looked at her, clearly not believing this nonsense.

Gian Tong didn't bother to argue, he believed whatever he wanted.

"Things have been quite complicated for me lately. But the situation is improving a little, my child. Just wait until I've sorted everything out, and then I can take you away from the Donghuang."

Leaving the Donghuang... For a moment, she was tempted.

But leaving Donghuang wouldn't be so easy if it were that simple. She would have left long ago.

Shen Xiujin refused to let her go, even if she left Donghuang, that person would still be able to find her. Besides, the only identity card that could prove her identity was in his hands. Leaving now meant she had no ID, making it impossible for her to move freely.

……

After Kane left, he didn't go home first. He made an appointment with a socialite at a cafe and chatted for a while. When he left, the socialite nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you. I'll let your friend see that woman's true face. But you promise me...well, one night of pleasure, don't forget."

Cain chuckled softly, leaning seductively close to the heiress's ear: "Of course, how could I possibly stand her up when she's as beautiful as Miss Wei"

Her heart pounded, captivated by Caine's mesmerizing features and his low, seductive voice. “Alright then,” she stammered, unwilling to part ways. "I’ll get it done tomorrow night. Be there, okay Wouldn't want someone claiming I failed later."

"How is that possible Miss Wei is stunningly beautiful and exceptionally capable. Of course, I believe in Miss Wei's ability to handle this. Besides... even if things go wrong, a beauty like Miss Wei is someone I can't afford to miss."

This made Miss Wei incredibly happy.

"Well then, best wishes for success to Miss Wei." As he spoke, turning to leave, a flash of disgust crossed Kane's hazel eyes. He refused to linger and left early.

……

Late at night

Xiao Heng didn't tell Jian Tong why he wanted her to take leave.

"Mr. Xiao let me take a leave, just to bring me here to ride the Ferris wheel" Jian Tong looked incredulously at the giant Ferris wheel in front of her.

"Come on, I promised you, I'd take you for a ride on the Ferris wheel."

Xiao Heng's hand reached out, but Jian Tong warily took a step back.

"A Ferris wheel" She didn't want to ride it

Jian Tong warily looked at Xiao Heng: "Mr. Xiao... I'm sorry."

I'm sorry, all I have left is "I'm sorry" for you.

Xiao Heng was stunned for a moment, then after a while, a smile suddenly appeared on his serious face: "It's okay, we won't be riding today, but one day, we will ride the Ferris wheel together." These words were full of meaning.

Jian Tong didn't speak. She looked up at the sky and said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm a bit tired. Could you send me back to my dormitory"

At this, Xiao Heng gave Jian Tong a deep look, and finally, his magnetic voice sounded: "Good."

I waited under Jian Tong's dormitory building.

"I have something to say to Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, I don't..." I don't like you.

"Wait a minute!" The man in the driver's seat suddenly called out, "I have a phone call. Jian Tong, get out of the car first."

"Mr. Xiao, why won't you let me finish speaking" Jian Tong's gaze fell on Xiao Heng's face. She had heard his phone ring many times before, but there was no sound just now. He lied and said he had a call coming in—besides not wanting her to finish speaking, she couldn't think of any other reason.

"Jian Tong, get out of the car. There are a lot of things going on at home and at the company lately, I'm very busy," he said, but seeing Jian Tong's stubborn expression, his heart softened, and his expression also softened. "Little Tong, if there's something you want to say, wait until I finish these things, okay ... It won't take half an hour... Okay"

His gaze held hers, almost pleading. Jian Tong's heart trembled. Logic told her she should be clear right now. But... she looked into the exhaustion and pleading in this young boy's eyes. Those words that had been brewing for so long couldn't seem to leave her lips at this moment.

With a light sigh, she said nothing and got out of the car silently.

The next day

Jian Tong was on her way to work in the evening when suddenly several cars drove past her and stopped within seven or eight meters in front of her.

Amongst the screeching brakes, Jian Tong's eyes widened gradually as she gazed at the familiar faces emerging from the car.

"Hey Isn't this Jian Tong" The leading woman, with delicate makeup and high heels, walked towards Jian Tong, her face trembling: "It really is Jian Tong, the legendary figure from Shanghai in those days. But," the woman wrinkled her nose, "how did you become like this I remember your dazzling presence back then."

Jian Tong of course recognized the woman before him—Wei Sishan.

More familiar faces gathered around.

"Eh eh It's really Jian Tong! You said this was Jian Tong just now, and I didn't believe it. Now that I take a closer look, it really is Jian Tong."

But Jian Tong... how did you become like this

"That's right, Jian Tong Jie."

"Still calling me sister You have the nerve to have a 'sister' who's been in prison" Wei Sishan chuckled, as if she suddenly remembered something and quickly asked Jian Tong with concern, "Jian Tong, when did you get out of jail How did you get out Why didn't you tell us At least we used to play together. When you came out, say something to us so we could give you a welcome back."

Jane's face paled... This kind of thing, does it need to be exposed and washed by the wind She raised her eyes and looked at Wei Sishan. She clearly wanted to humiliate her, to embarrass her.

"It's okay, since we met today, let's make up for the welcome dinner today." Wei Sishan said, putting her arm around Jian Tong's shoulder: "Come on, Jian Tong, everyone has prepared a welcome dinner for you today. Let's go, go, go."

"I'm not going!" Jian Tong gritted her teeth, refusing to go with Wei Sishan and the others.

"How can this be, how can you not go This is a welcome banquet prepared for you, how can it work without the protagonist" Wei Shanshan said again, half-dragging Jian Tong towards her car and stuffing her into the back seat: "Jian Tong, this way, you're not giving your sisters face, are you"

"While saying that, she took out her phone: "If you don't give your sisters face, I'll post this video."

Saying that, he held his phone up to Jian Tong's face.

Wow!

Jian Tong couldn't believe her eyes, staring wide with shock: "How did you get this! How do you have this! How did you get this video!" Her face drained of all color: "Give it to me! Give it to me!"

Wei Sishan tossed the phone in her hand to another person. "Want to snatch it Go ahead, snatch it! If you take this one, I have a backup." Saying that, she sneered and crossed her arms, clearly looking at Jian Tong as if she were a joke. "Just tell me, are you going to give your sisters face Will you come to this welcome banquet or not"

To go, or not to go

Jian Tong's face turned ashen: "Damn it! You have the backup"

"This... well, it depends on your performance at the banquet."

"This video... how did you get this" Every scene of humiliation in the video ripped open old wounds in Jian Tong's heart. This video was like reliving those three years of her life all over again.

"You don't need to know that." In fact, she got it by chance as well.

"What do you want to do today"

Wei Sishan smiled and said, "What are you doing You'll know when you get here." She said again, "Who told you to be so poor and want to become a phoenix Don't blame me, I'm just following orders."

"Given a mission by someone…Who is he" any emotion. 。"You... besides my money, did you... ever truly have a moment of sincerity towards me"When Kane asked this question, the expressions of several people changed. 。Shen Xiujin's eyes sudde...
