Chapter 71: Jian Tong's Anger >

n Tong, how could you be so pathetic! Work, work, work You make it sound so noble. If someone didn't know better, they'd think you were deeply passionate about your labor and your job."Your job Isn't..."You said you interceded for me, did you Did you actually intercede Do you want to show how kind you are Jian Tong, the most unkind thing is you!"

Qin Mumumu stormed in, venting her anger as soon as she entered.

Are you sleeping with the big boss Since you're already with him, why are you still flirting with other men Xiao Heng is one example, and that foreigner just now is another.

Look at my throat, listen to it. If you plead for me, will my throat become so swollen and inflamed that I'll choke on water!

The doctor said my voice needs a long time to rest and even when it gets better, it won't be the same as before! You said you would ask for me, didn't you

I pleaded with you, I even apologized to you, but you claimed to help me intercede while doing nothing at all!

Jane, I've never seen such a hypocritical woman as you! Disgusting, putting on an act!

Jian Tong remained silent, not interrupting Qin Mumumu. Her expression was neither sad nor happy, angry nor resentful. A flush still lingered on her forehead. She slowly reached out and touched it, then suddenly looked up at the furious Qin Mumumu and said in a gruff voice:

"Aren't you living"

"What do you mean" Qin Mumumu was stunned, her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Jian Tong: "Jian Tong! Are you hoping I'm dead!"

A sharp scream pierced his ears, Jian Tong chuckled softly:

"Qin Mumumu, don't you think that you're suffering these things because of me"

"Wouldn't I have become like this if it weren't for you Wouldn't I have been expelled from Donghuang Do you know how difficult it is to be a student studying abroad, working odd jobs just to make enough money for tuition and living expenses Do you know how hard life can be"

Jian Tong felt an urge to laugh from the bottom of her heart:

"So, you know too, life isn't easy. Qin Mumu, life is hard, why do you still torment me"

"You can choose not to help me, but you promised to plead for me, yet you didn't, Jian Tong. If you weren't willing to help me plead, why did you make promises in front of me You want to appear kind and good, to earn my gratitude, but you won't even plead for me. Jian Tong, you are truly terrifying!"

Jane closed her eyes, she was exhausted. There was Mr. Caine before her, who disregarded her wishes and touched the wound she didn't want to be touched... That kiss, it wasn't just the scar on her forehead he touched.

Then Qin Mumumu came to pester and harass relentlessly, unreasonably. If it were any other time, Jian Tong would still be the timid and submissive Jian Tong she always was. But now, that wouldn't do.

She desperately needed some alone time, to hide away from everything and do nothing.

“Logically speaking, you wronged me first, and I could completely ignore your life or death.” Jian Tong said slowly, “If saying that you have an opinion of me becomes a reason for you to harm me at will, then I think I can also return what you’ve done to me to you.”

Moreover, Qin Mumu, do you think the reason why you are still able to stand before me unharmed is...

Chuckling softly, "Or perhaps you could irritate the big boss once more. Just see what means he'll use to retaliate against you next time."

Sometimes, you don't necessarily need to say so much.

If Qin Mumumu still doesn't understand, then she either truly doesn't understand, or Qin Mumumu herself doesn't want to understand.

"I, I don't know what you're talking about. Jian Tong, you're so strange, saying these nonsensical things. If you don't want to help, that's fine, but there's no need to say these random things to clear yourself of suspicion."

If you were to say the word "suspicion" to an ordinary person, it would probably just be the definition they learned in school. However, for Jian Tong, the word "suspicion" filled her with fear, disgust, and dread.

The complexion was turning gray-white at a speed visible to the naked eye. Taking a deep breath, he looked at Qin Mumu. Even his usually gruff voice sounded sharp. But her voice remained just as it always was—rough and grating. Even when sharp, it only felt oddly discordant.

"Suspect Qin Mumumu," Jian Tong was now furiously approaching Qin Mumumu, "Do you know what the word 'suspect' means"

Suspect

What is the suspicion

What do I need to clear my name of again

Have I hurt you

Was it me who reported you

Qin Mumumu, are you disgracing yourself

You're harming people, yet you've shown your hand. You've blundered and been caught by the company, and now you're blaming me for not interceding on your behalf Qin Mumu, who gave you such reckless audacity

"Who keeps giving you the power to push your boundaries again and again"

"You, you, …you…" Qin Mumumu was stunned. With every word Simple Tong uttered, she was forced to take a step back. Simple Tong advanced inch by inch, while Qin Mumumu retreated step by step. This Simple Tong before her… how was he different from the Simple Tong she knew

"Ah!!! Jian Tong! I knew it! I knew it! You were faking it! That pitiful look of yours, it was all an act!"

There are no men here, no Mr. Xiao, no big bosses. And I have been driven out of the Donghuang Temple. Do you think that you no longer need to put on an act in front of me Because no one can expose your true colors now

Jian Tong was stunned, staring at the woman... no, she was still a girl. He stared at her for a long time, and suddenly, he laughed. Unlike his previous silent smile, this time, he burst into laughter, a sound so grating that Qin Mumu covered her ears.

"What's so funny Have I been found out"

Jian Tong glanced at Qin Mumu, shook her head, and said slowly, "I want to rest. You should leave."

"You want to kick me out You're dreaming! You ruined my voice, the doctor said I need to rest for a long time to recover. Even if I recover, it won't be like before. Now you want to kick me out"

As Qin Mumumu raised her voice again, Jian Tong felt a lump in her throat... She used to have a good voice too, "Some things, there's no reason, no logic to explain. You just... temporarily lost your voice. You should be thankful that this damage isn't permanent."

She finished her cryptic sentence, not giving Qin Mumumu a chance to respond, and asked again, "Are you really not leaving"

"You can't get rid of me."

Jian Tong nodded, picked up her phone, and called Su Meng: "Meng Jie, I want to ask you to pass a message to the big boss. I want to take back my previous request for him to spare Qin Mumumu's life. For this, I am willing to pay any price."

Qin Mumumu listened, her pretty face paling, "Jian Tong, no!"

Jian Tong didn't hang up her phone. She glanced at Qin Mumumu, then said to Su Meng on the phone: "Mengjie, wait a moment."

Then, looking at Qin Mumumu again, he slowly asked:

"Do you finally understand what I was saying before"

Qin Mumumu's face was pale, and she nervously watched the phone in Jian Tong's hand. Although there was still unwillingness in her eyes, she nodded nonetheless.

Jian Tong said into the phone, "Mengjie, I'm sorry, about that thing I mentioned just now, I haven't thought it through yet, so let's not bring it up to the big boss for now."

Jian Tong spoke very slowly, but Qin Mumumu didn't have a chance to interject. Jian Tong's speaking speed wasn't fast, yet she wouldn't allow anyone to interrupt:

"Qin Mumumu, and I, we're just colleagues and roommates. I don't owe you anything. Have you ever thought about that From the very beginning, I don't owe you anything."

Whether or not I help you depends on my own willingness.t ultimately still compromised.Since Boss is so concerned about what happened three years ago, and that woman, then he should go investigate... I don't believe that woman is innocent.If that woman is...
