Chapter 133: Stand Tall

an was her biological mother!To ask when one already knows, to feign ignorance... what's the point"Ahem... Mr. Shen really didn't tell you, did he Oh, Mr. Shen is really something else, how could he k..."From now on, you'll live here." Shen Xiujin brought Jian Tong back to the 28th floor of Donghuang and said, "I've already helped you resign from your current job. After joining Shen Shi, you'll work by my side."

"I'm doing a great job!" she glared, how dare he make decisions for her

“Is that so You think working with a smile on your face all the time is good Jian Tong, you're doing it willingly, and I don't want to force you to continue.”

Jian Tong wanted to laugh... What was the point of doing it now Who had made her go to the public relations department in the first place

Really… ridiculous!

"Mr. Shen, that's not what you said back then, was it You were the one who transferred me to the public relations department. Don't you remember" Jian Tong gritted her teeth and asked, "You told me to do it back then, so why are you unwilling to let me do it now"

Shen Xiujin swept a complex glance at Jian Tong: "Do you want to know" Jian Tong remained silent, and Shen Xiujin said faintly, "You'll know later."

"But I don't want to..."

"Jian Tong, are you happy when you do this work"

Are you happy...

she stammered.

After Shen Xiujin finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Jian Tong alone... This man was becoming more and more incomprehensible.

But there is one thing that has never changed.

He can do whatever he wants, and whatever he decides is what it is!

The most loathsome thing was that he… just like when he said she was guilty, she became guilty!

Even today, she is still powerless to resist!

"What... am I supposed to do!"

This afternoon, he was handling official business in his study while Jian Tong sat listlessly in the living room... As for what would happen next, she had made a decision.

Still have to... run!

My mind has already begun to plan.

Shen Xiuqin's actions were becoming increasingly strange. She didn't understand what he was doing, but she sensed danger, and she couldn't afford to waste time. She needed to carefully plan her next move.

In the evening, after dinner, he went back to his study and stayed there until nine o'clock before coming out.

Seeing the living room, Qingdan said lightly, "You sleep in the bedroom, I'll sleep on the sofa."

Jian Tong stood up silently and walked into the bedroom... The more he acted this way, the more frightened she became.

The next day

Jian Tong was dumped again, a set of clothes. Still at the entrance of Shen's Building, still forcing her to make a choice: “Walk in, come with me to the meeting, or turn around and leave, go back to Dong Huang's apartment.”

But just as Jian Tong turned to leave, Shen Xiuqin reached out and with a slight tug, pulled her into the doorway.

"Mr. Shen, you said I could choose for myself!"

"I said so." The man didn't seem to care.

"You don't keep your word," she said in a low voice.

"You can leave me now, turn around and go. It's the same either way."

How could it be the same! At this moment, she had already been dragged in by him. Then pair of eyes fell on her, especially since she was dragged in by "him"!

If she were to abandon him right now, turn and run away... She didn't have the courage. Under those pairs of scrutinizing eyes, she couldn't bring herself to leave this place and head for the roadside.

She buried her head deeper and gritted her teeth, following him closely behind. She thought to herself, as long as they got into the elevator, those stares and hushed whispers would disappear.

"Whether it's horizontal or vertical, it's still a knife. Jian Tong, lift your head up, straighten your spine, is that so terrifying"

Terrible, of course terrible!

Shen Xiuqin's hand fell on Jian Tong's back, exerting force and pressing forward. Jian Tong's back straightened up, just about to speak when he heard the man's low command: "Go."

Unconsciously, she obeyed the order. From beginning to end, the hand behind her never left her back.

He and she, just like that, walked through the hall, under everyone's noses, with a posture that seemed extremely ambiguous to outsiders, and entered the presidential elevator.

The moment the elevator doors closed, Jian Tong saw a pair of incredulous eyes staring at her. She was startled and almost reflexively lowered her head... If she were recognized...

Ding dong

The elevator came to a stop, and when the doors opened, though I resisted with all my might, I was still pushed out by Shen Xiuqin beside me, stiffly walking out of the elevator.

Upon arriving at the CEO's office, Jian Tong let out a huge sigh of relief. Unlike the stares she received along the way, there was no attention here, making her feel slightly more at ease.

"There are books there, go take a look. I'm going to a meeting."

Jian Tong was stunned as Shen Xiujin turned and walked out of the office, leaving her alone.

Looking around, the decorations here haven't changed much from three years ago. It's always been that man's style.

For two consecutive nights, she had slept in that person's bedroom and hadn't closed her eyes for a single moment. After collapsing onto the sofa, she succumbed to sleepiness soon after and lay slumped against it.

About an hour later, the door creaked open silently.

A man stood at the doorway. He saw a woman reclining on the sofa, fast asleep. He was surprised for a moment, then walked to the sofa and stood there, looking at the woman in front of him for a while. It seemed like she was a little cold, as the woman on the sofa slept restlessly, gradually curling up.

Long fingers unbuttoned the shirt and covered her. As he drew closer, a soft murmur was heard.

"A-Lu…"

His fingers that held the shirt paused for a moment, his brows furrowed with a frosty expression.

Still thinking about Lu Chen... It's truly a testament to her deep and abiding love.

It was almost ironic how the man's lips twitched into a humorless smirk.

Then what about Xiao Heng

What kind of relationship is there between Lu Chen and Xiao Heng, Shen Xiu Jin knows.

A gleam flashed in the man's eyes as he probed, "Is Alu...Lu Chen"

"Alulu... I'm sorry..."

Of course, little Jian Tong in his dreams wouldn't answer Shen Xiu Jin.

He frowned, then suddenly, Shen Xiujin stood up and walked out of the office. He went to a small meeting room nearby, took out his phone, and called Lu Chen: "It's me, Shen Xiujin."

A flash of surprise crossed Lu Chen's eyes, who was busy. "Mr. Shen never visits the Three Treasures Hall without a reason. Mr. Shen, please speak." He didn't waste any time and got straight to the point.

"What is your relationship with Jian Tong"

This question, when asked, is actually quite strange.

Lu Chen, a man so composed, was taken aback for a moment before saying, "We've met once."

Thinking to himself, how could Shen Xiu Jin suddenly ask him this.

The next second, I heard the person on the phone say: "Lu Zong's one-sided relationship is quite deep, so deep that Jian Tong mumbled 'Alu' in her dreams several times."

"Cough! Cough cough cough..." Lu Chen, who was drinking water, was startled and choked. He hurriedly said, "General Shen, you can't just say things like that. Ms. Jian is the person Xiao Heng likes. Friends' wives should not be violated. I, Lu Chen, haven't stooped to the point of seducing my good brother's woman."kness in his eyes at that moment.Without him speaking, she said, "Mr. Lu, let's go."She was about to leave when someone pulled her back, a voice devoid of emotion reaching her ears: "There was never a...
