Chapter 95: You've Paid Your Debts
he day three years ago when she stopped at the wrought iron gate, her elder brother on the other side, separated by that very door.And today, she once again stepped through the gate that had once sepa...After hanging up the phone, Jian Zhen Dong got out of bed abruptly and put on a robe from the side.
Mrs. Jian sleepily asked her husband, "What's the matter"
"What's the matter" Jian Zhendong's anger was sky-high: "Your good daughter, she became a prostitute!"
Boom!
Mrs. Jian's ears were struck like a thunderbolt, suddenly!
>
Right, she must have misheard.
"Master He called personally, He Wu saw with his own eyes, that wicked girl, is now selling smiles at Dong Huang!"
Mrs. Jian couldn't sit still any longer: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Xiao Tong has such a high sense of self-esteem, she would absolutely not do such a thing! Could it be that the child from the He family, got it wrong"
"Grandfather He called personally. What do you think" Jian Zhen Dong's face turned ashen.
"What are you doing out so late" Mrs. Jian grabbed her husband's wrist, holding on tight: "Zhending, what could you possibly be doing out this late"
Jian Zhen Dong is in his late forties, but he is well-maintained and full of energy. His temples are slightly gray, but it doesn't detract from his masculine charm; instead, it adds a mature flavor that comes with the passage of time. It has to be said, Jian Zhen Dong is a man with masculine charm. Looking at him now, one can only imagine how dashing he must have been in his youth.
But at this moment, Jian Zhendong's face, though etched with the marks of time, was still undeniably masculine and charming, but now clouded with gloom.
Gritting his teeth, he raged, "Three years ago, that bastard brought disaster upon the Jian family, turning them into the laughingstock of Shanghai."
After three years, finally things had calmed down and the Jian family was back to its former glory. But this wretch ran off to Dong Huang to become a prostitute! He made the Jian family the laughingstock of all Shanghai. What kind of demon refuses to let go of the Jian family!
What have I, Jian Zhen Dong, done to deserve this To give birth to such a wretch!
Murder, framing, or betrayal against her childhood best friend!
She fell in love with Shen Xiujin, and she couldn't lay a finger on Xia Weiming either. She didn't even think about it, Xia Weiming was the person Shen Xiujin had his eyes on! This bastard! For her own sake, she disregarded the entire family!
Now that he's out of prison, he doesn't repent, but instead becomes even more depraved. He has actually fallen so low as to sell himself for money to the Eastern Emperor!
"Zhendong, calm yourself, perhaps...perhaps she also has her reasons." Madam Jian wore a face of bitter resignation. "Jian Tong is my own daughter after all," she continued, "Zhendong, think about it, since childhood, little Tong has always been proud and arrogant. How could she possibly sink to the point of becoming...becoming, that kind of woman who does such immoral things"
Mrs. Jian would not believe it no matter what, her own child would go to the Dong Huang and sell smiles.
"Zhendong, this matter still needs to be investigated clearly. We can't just rely on He Wu's one-sided words."
Jian Zhen Dong let out a cold snort: “I'm going to have someone investigate this thoroughly. See what kind of trouble this bastard has brought upon the Jian family.” With that, he waved away Mrs. Jian's hand forcefully and turned towards his study. "I'm sleeping in the study tonight."
He coldly threw out a sentence, leaving Mrs. Jian alone with a bitter face.
Jian Zhen Dong went to the study, took out his phone, and directly dialed a number: “That bastard is out of prison. You help me check, her whereabouts after she was released from prison, as well as what happened after she was released. Check as much as you can, I want to know everything.”
And He Wǔ and his group, after failing to get their way from Shen Xiūjīn, were reprimanded by him and then "personally" sent back home by Shen Yī and the others.
Shen Yi asked in confusion, “Boss, since you despise Miss Jian to such an extent, why are you still willing to stand up for her”
A trace of self-doubt flashed across the man's deep eyes, but it was gone in an instant, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch. He didn't even realize it himself. His dark eyes narrowed, and he spoke in a cold, indifferent tone: "I punish whoever I want because I don't like them. It has nothing to do with that woman."
……
In the hospital
Bai Yuxing gave Jian Tong a final check, "Alright, you can be discharged. Jian Tong, please don't joke about your own life anymore."
He didn't originally intend to tell Jian Tong these things, but for some reason, Bai Yu Xing looked at the woman who was burying her head and not speaking, and suddenly remembered the conversation in Shen Xiu Jin's bedroom on the 28th floor of Dong Huang that day.
Glancing at Jian Tong, Bai Yu xing said, "Since you've been released from prison, just live a good life. The past is the past, and what you owed has been repaid. Although... three years in prison can't make up for a human life. But... you have also lost a lot."
The woman who had been keeping silent, suddenly raised her head slowly, “Has everything that needed to be repaid... been repaid”
Perhaps it was a hallucination, but Bai Yu walked heard a hint of... mockery in that rough, unpleasant voice
He cast a dubious glance downward at Jian Tong, a thoughtful glimmer in his eyes: "You... what do you mean"
A barely perceptible twitch of her lips, Jian Tong lowered her head faintly: "It's nothing."
Bai Yu's eyes were filled with even more confusion... Could he have misheard just now
"In the future... just follow Shen Xiujin's lead. You can lessen your suffering."
Jian Tong smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
Everyone believes she is guilty, everyone believes she is a murderer, everyone believes her three years were atonement...Oh, who will tell her what crime she committed And for what sin was she atoning
Everyone felt that Xia Wei Ming died unjustly, she died innocently, and everyone thought that Jian Tong deserved it... one by one, they cursed her for being cruel... But did any of them really see her kill, did she kill Xia Wei Ming
A wave of fatigue washed over me.
She's been...extraordinarily tired lately. Jian Tong raised her hand, rubbing her temples, trying to alleviate the fatigue that weighed on her body.
"There's... actually, Shen Xiujin is quite..." He was about to say something more, but then he thought better of it. Bai Yuxing stopped abruptly and changed the subject: "It's fine now, just be a good person in the future."
Upon hearing this, Jian Tong's fingers dug into her palm, almost tearing the flesh. Suddenly, Jian Tong raised her head, her eyes fixed on Bai Yuxing, and asked:
"Bai Yu Xing, if I said that Xia Wei Ming's death had nothing to do with me, three years ago, I didn't plot against Xia Wei Ming, would you believe me!"
"If I said that three years ago, Xia Wei Ming brought it upon herself and deserved her bad luck, would you believe me!"
"If I say that Xia Wei Ming has been complaining to me privately the whole time that she doesn't like Shen Xiu Jin, would you believe me!"
"If I said that Xia Wei Ming was the most shameless one, the one who deserved to go to hell, would you believe me!"
Her voice was rough and unpleasant, but also extremely urgent, as if she was eager to persuade Bai Yu to agree and gain his trust. Bai Yu stared straight at the woman in front of him. Her eyes were too clear, too firm, making people unconsciously trust her!
But!
"Jian Tong, I originally thought that three years in prison would only shock you, making you timid and lacking dignity. But I didn't expect that after three years, upon your release, you have become so repugnant! ...No, perhaps this is your true face all along!"
Yes! This is your true face. All these years, you've successfully deceived everyone!
If this isn't your true self, how could you have done such a cruel thing three years ago!
"Jian Tong, I take back my sympathy for you."
Bai Yu xing looked at Jian Tong's eyes, a coldness and indifference that didn't resemble looking at a "person" at all. After speaking, he turned and strode towards the door.
Reaching out to grab the doorknob, Bai Yu pulled it open with force. His eyes narrowed suddenly!
A gust of icy air hit him as he stepped outside.
Shen Xiujin!ant to say much.Jian Tong was about to leave, Su Meng called out, "Wait." She took off the necklace around her neck and the ring on her hand, and stuffed them into Jian Tong's hand. "No matter where y...
