no more ties to each other. What do you say"At first, Jian Tong was stunned, then shocked. A pang of pain still spread through her chest, and before her brain could recover its rationality...One after..."He Fengbei, what's your opinion" The man's dark eyes turned to He Laozi beside him. The old man's face was clearly flushed with anger, but he had to bear it with humiliation.

It was obvious to everyone that with Shen Xiuqin's formidable abilities, it was a blessing for Old Master He to remain unharmed. He Fengbei leaned on his cane, clutching it tightly in his palm, which trembled incessantly against the ground. In the end, he remained silent.

Jian Tong's eyes flashed with surprise, and she looked up at the man beside her... What did this man mean

Shen Xiujin lowered his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Jian Tong's face. The corner of his thin lips twitched slightly, "Jian Tong, what are you going to do"

What should she do

Jian Tong knew all too well that Shen Xiujin would never suddenly show kindness. Even though when Shen Xiujin asked this question, everyone around him was shocked and the surrounding discussions buzzed with “Wouldn’t President Shen be standing up for her”, Jian Tong understood too clearly the man standing beside her at this moment.

If he were a good person... how could he end up in such a situation!

Because I know it well.

Jian Tong abruptly closed her eyes, two forces tugging at her heart within. She needed to make a decision, she knew it; she had to make a decision... This man was forcing her hand!

How is she

Grandpa's love wasn't pure, but she was still grateful to him. Without him, she would have ended up like those countless daughters who relied on their parents and were eventually used as bargaining chips in arranged marriages. Without him, she wouldn't have seen such a wide world, nor would she have lived that hard yet fulfilling life before going to prison.

Born into a wealthy family, she enjoyed the superior life that outsiders envied. However, this also meant losing certain things, especially for girls. Her grandfather gave her the opportunity to choose, considering not only the interests of the Jian family but also his kindness towards her. She deeply treasured and was grateful for all of it.

Suddenly! She opened her eyes, her gaze still firm. "Mr. Shen, please lend me four hundred million."

The man around her shoulders, his lips curled in a delightful arc, his eyes flashed with admiration... If she were like these people, thinking that she had done something good by standing up for her, helping her win back "Only Love," then she wouldn't be Jian Tong!

A voice crossed Shen Xiujin's mind: Sure enough, no matter how this woman changes, deep down she is still the same Jian Tong.

If she were to directly ask him, to have him help her reclaim "Only Love"... then she would truly have become someone else.

But...

"Four hundred million... what are you offering me I'm a businessman, not a charity, Jian Tong. Think it through, what do you have as collateral Hmm"

The man asked leisurely.

What can I offer as collateral ... Jian Tong looked at the man in front of her with a complicated expression. After gritting her teeth, she made up her mind: "From now on, I will obey Mr. Shen's every command."

This is like signing a selling contract!

When Shen Xiujin heard this, he was delighted. But seeing the woman in front of him tense up all over and looking incredibly nervous, Shen Xiujin said cheerfully:

"Okay. Thanks."

Jian Tong's expression remained tense, not daring to relax. "Thank you, President Shen," she said. After finishing, she turned and looked at Jian Zhen Dong: "I want to get back what belongs to me, four hundred million, to buy 'Wei Ai'."

She gazed at Jian Zendong, her eyes no longer holding warmth.

Jian Zhen Dong was speechless at the moment, he was very embarrassed. At this time, the beast was standing behind Shen Xiu Jin, but just now 'Wei Ai' had already been given to Old Master He. He was caught between a rock and a hard place, not daring to offend Shen Xiu Jin, who knows what kind of relationship this beast has with Shen Xiu Jin

It wasn't just Jian Zhen Dong who didn't understand. At first, everyone thought that Shen Xiu Jin brought Jian Tong back to the Jian family today was just to humiliate her. But they didn't expect that at the moment when He Wu was about to make a move, he would stand directly beside Jian Tong. Just when everyone thought that Shen Xiu Jin was going to support Jian Tong,

Hearing that Jian Tong asked Shen Xiujin for money again… If I really want to support Jian Tong, if Shen Xiujin truly has some unspeakable relationship with Jian Tong, why would he ask for money

At that moment, everyone was confused about the relationship.

Jian Zhen Dong didn't understand, but he didn't want to offend Shen Xiu Jin either. His eyes caught sight of Lao He, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said: "This, little one, as you just saw, 'Wei Ai' has already been bought by Lao He."

When the family heard this, they immediately thought badly of Jian Zhen Dong in their hearts. They didn't want to offend him themselves, so they let others do it for them.

Jian Tong's gaze shifted to Old Master He: " 'Wei Ai' was built by me and my grandfather. Today's matters, the He family has no need to get involved. Old Master He is a wise man, so it's better to let go."

She didn't even want to utter a word, directly causing Old Master He to abandon his 'only love'.

Master He was full of anger, but when his eyes landed on Jian Tong behind the young boy, a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling yet not smiling stared at him, making him feel extremely stifled. "I, He, won't fight with a child," he muttered bitterly. "It would be embarrassing to say it out loud!"

This already made their stance clear.

Jian Tong's gaze fell once again on Jian Zhen Dong's face: "Three years ago, the Jian family's decision was so resolute, with not a shred of room for compromise. The truth of the matter, are they truly afraid of being implicated, or are there other reasons You and I both know."

Now that we've come to this point, it's unnecessary to bring up the past.

Mr. Jian, I'm here today only because "Wei Ai" was a gift from my grandfather. Although he regrets that I'm not a boy, his love and care for me are genuine. "Wei Ai" is only in my hands, so my grandfather can rest in peace.

I just want to ask Mr. Jian one question: Four hundred million, will 'Wei Ai' give it to me or not

At this very moment, everyone present seemed to see the undisputed Ice Rose of Shanghai Beach in this skinny and ugly girl before them.

Although she asked with her mouth, "Will you give it to me", her decisive attitude clearly showed that she was determined to take it by force if he didn't.

Jian Zhen Dong's face flushed red and white, a spectacle indeed, like a palette of colors. Before so many people, he was cornered by his own daughter, who he had publicly disowned, her questions forcing him to squirm under the weight of shame.

"He couldn't get off the stage. Jian Zhen Dong glanced at the people around him; their expectant eyes made his heart ache even more."""Come here, yes, a little closer," she beckoned with a smile, kind and approachable like never before. In eight-year-old Shen Xiujin's mind, she was just a gentle and friendly older sister,Look, the...
