Chapter 91: Tear Hope to Shreds
oticed the tremor in the woman's hand, nor did anyone notice her desperately trying to control her body, that damn uncontrollable trembling.Jian Tong's self-deprecating eyes scanned over, taking in th...One hand suddenly gripped her chin, lifting it forcefully with a powerful grip. She was forced to look up, and the blade-like features of his handsome face were inches from hers!
Shen Xiujin's cold eyes fixed on her face, "Go to the hospital, or go to the bank. Jian Tong, I give you a choice."
His face was so close to Jian Tong that she could clearly see the fuzz on his face. There was a stubbornness and determination in her eyes: "I'm going to the bank." She said each word, refusing to back down even an inch.
"Even with one kidney, you dare to drink" The man's voice was cold and indifferent, a faint reminder: "Aren't you afraid of dying"
"I'm going to the bank!"
"Even if you risk your life, you still have to go to the bank"
She gazed at the man so close, her lips parted as she uttered in a flat tone, "Yes." This was not her first time gambling with her life, and besides, it was only two whiskeys. Her hand resting by her side unconsciously gripped the lapel of his suit jacket, a gesture she was unaware of, but one that the man saw clearly.
Her cold phoenix eyes lowered, skimming across the hand clutching his suit jacket collar. On the back of that hand, veins pulsed visibly.
His gaze fell back on the woman's face, his eyes unreadable... Staring at her, Shen Xiujin thought: This woman, what she loved most before was appearing in front of him from time to time, flitting in front of him every now and then, wishing he would look at her more. Even if he just glanced at her, her mood could improve for a whole day.
At what point, without him noticing, did everything change
Even if... even if it means giving up my life, I have to go to the bank, I have to escape from his side
In his obsidian eyes, something wild was brewing, churning restlessly. He stared intently at Jian Tong's face, his deep-set eyes becoming even more inscrutable and enigmatic.
"Jian Tong, are you really so eager to go to the bank" Are you really that eager to escape from me
This isn't right, it shouldn't be like this!
Only he could say "end" between them!
A pair of long fingers slid across the check from her hand, swaying it lightly: "What good would going to the bank do you The bank is closed. Can an ATM deposit a check"
Can ATMs accept checks ... Of course not!
The child was struck dumb with shock!
She stared blankly at the check between his index and middle fingers...The check she'd worked so hard for, was it just a piece of paper
So... she endured all that, just for this piece of paper
Suddenly, she raised her head: "Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen, I beg you. It's all money, it's five million, not a cent less, there's no difference, whether it goes into my bank card today or tomorrow, what's the difference"
She said, and was about to kneel: “Mr. Shen, I beg you, I’ll kneel down for you. I have nothing left, only these two knees. I offer them to you. I give you everything I have left, just say a word, and I'll be free! I can leave this place…”
"Click"
Shen Xiujin watched coldly, his finger snapping. The check between his fingers flew towards Jian Tong's face: "Is this your last possession Isn't freedom"
His knee Was that all she could give him now
Shen Xiujin's suppressed anger was difficult to vent... The last thing she could give him was those knees that were willing to kneel before anyone
Once upon a time, she gave him her infatuation and love. Whether it was infatuation or love, they were both radiant and precious, even to herself.
And what did she say today
The last thing you could give him is his knee
Damn knees!
She still wanted to leave him!
Forbidden!
Absolutely not!
He didn't understand why he wanted to stop her from leaving him. Deep down, the very thought of it made him want to go crazy.
He didn't understand the reason, but he absolutely refused!
No means no!
Jane turned pale... She understood, she understood everything.
"Freedom, little girl, you better remember this: Freedom, I say you don't have it, so you can't have it!"
Sue dreamed of driving, but her hands were shaking behind the wheel.
What kind of deep hatred would inflict such torment on a person.
"Sue, speed up." The man didn't even glance at the woman beside him. His bony fingers pulled out his phone and pressed the call button: "Get to the hospital immediately, she had some wine."
"Who"
"Little Jane."
The person on the phone exploded: "What She dares to drink Has she lost her mind"
"I'm taking her there now. Are you ready"
After finishing his words, Bai Yuxing on the other end of the phone wanted to say "He's not working today," but the person hung up directly.
Bai Yu Xing scrambled out of bed: "Damn it!"
What a damn mistake to have made such a bad friend!
Inside the car, Jian Tong picked up the check and stared blankly at it in her hand. Suddenly, she let out a light chuckle... Shen Xiujin, do you know
What did I go through for this check
"Dream Sister, open the window," a gruff female voice said slowly in the carriage.
Su Meng hesitated for a moment, then asked Shen Xiuqin from the rearview mirror.
In the back seat, Shen Xiujin’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, he glanced at Jian Tong faintly, and nodded slightly. Su Meng pressed a key, and the rear window slowly lowered.
She cautiously glanced in the rearview mirror, but that one glance almost made her forget to breathe!
The woman in the back seat remained calm, tearing the check in half. Then each half was torn into quarters, and those quarters into eights... The five hundred thousand dollar check was reduced to shreds in her hands. She balled up the paper scraps in her fist, extended it out the window, opened her palm, and let the wind carry them away.
Su Meng couldn't help but be shocked, her eyes wide: "Are you crazy! Don't you remember how you got this check! How could you just let it become worthless!"
Jian Tong's eyes didn't blink once, from beginning to end. Her face was frighteningly calm.
Upon hearing Su Meng's words, she slowly looked over and faintly uttered three words: "Not important."
It doesn't matter!
How could it not be important!
Su Meng was angry, but looking at the calm face of the woman in the back seat, he suddenly couldn't speak.
Yes, how could it not be important Being humiliated by former comrades, facing those you once knew with shame. In front of these old friends, who used to sit and chat over tea as equals, kneeling, crawling past shards of glass, squeezing through their pants, begging for mercy, even drinking and gambling their lives... How could it not be important
It is said that Jian Tong loves money and can do anything for it.
Is that really so
People only see her wagging her tail happily and picking up money on the ground, smiling brightly. They assume that smile is just a facade for her ugly face.
Would people ask her: Jian Tong, why are you doing this
Is she really okay Does it not hurt her
At this moment, Su Meng hated herself and resented Shen Xiujin... Jian Tong, she had personally torn apart hope. Su Meng dared not think about what kind of pain was hidden under that calm face at this moment, and how much effort it took to endure the pain and maintain such a composed appearance.
This fool, with what kind of mentality, tore up the check. Su Meng suddenly admired this woman... Everyone said that Jian Tong was humble and servile, but in their eyes, a woman who had nothing could be stronger and more enduring than most people in the world.
Shen Xiuqin's profound eyes fell on Jian Tong, "Why tear it off"
Jian Tong remained calm and composed: "It's just a piece of scrap paper."
She exerted all her strength, and received a blank sheet of paper.
Desperate, given up... Can it be alright now
She waited for him, weary of this game. Let her go free.
Before this, the inescapable chains, so tiring...dam Jian, "How dare I believe you"Suddenly, a fist flew towards him, "You're out of line!" Jian Zhen Dong remained composed, his face stern as he glared back."Zhendong, Zhendong, don't hit, don't hit!...
