change just like that!"I don't remember."Shen Xiuqin's silent sorrow... He gazed at her.He was so earnest, so anxious, only to be met with a "I don't remember"I've never felt this kind of pain before...The Jian Group is going to be finished!

This piece of news has been spreading like wildfire in City S recently.

"Shen Xiujin, that man..." In a private gathering of wealthy individuals, after a few glasses of yellow liquor had loosened tongues, someone brought up this matter.

"Tsk tsk, too heartless. At least Jian Zhen Dong was his old father-in-law."

Lu Chen smiled without saying a word, smoking at the banquet. The smoke rings rose and fell in white wisps.

He couldn't stand these kinds of banquets, yet in this business circle, the required socializing was something he had to endure even though he disliked it.

As for all this food on the table, after drinking too much, you're just like an old woman at the market.

"Lu Zong, you've smoked half a pack already. The atmosphere is lively, why don't you chat with everyone" The bald man, who was drunk, still wanted to go up and get close to Lu Chen.

"You said I was listening," Lu Chen subtly moved half an inch to the side, subtly dodging this bald man's fat claws.

But no one, not even with all the people at the table, could have guessed that Lu Chen would show up.

As soon as the topic of baldness came up, people around him chimed in: "Hey, Mr. Lu, you're a promising young man with great potential. Compared to us old folks, you're much stronger."

Among us, you and Shen Xiujin are about the same age. You tell me, what's Shen Xiujin like

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen narrowed his eyes. The smoke swirled around him, obscuring his sharply defined face, making it difficult to see clearly.

“Oh…” Lu Chen let out a light “oh,” as if he didn’t care. His long fingers, holding a cigarette, lightly tapped it, and the ashes fell down. “Shen Xiujin ah. Quite a capable person.”

Others at the table were still looking at him, waiting for his next words, but Lu Chen fell silent.

Gone

Is that it

The Bald Man said with some disappointment: “He’s quite capable, just too cruel.”

"He's a ruthless person." Lu Chen took a puff of smoke and replied casually.

"That's right, Lu always thinks so too. Jian Shi is a listed company after all, he Shen Xiu Jin doesn't even remember old feelings He's at least his wife's family!"

Lu Chen suddenly stood up: “Uh I think I had a bit too much to drink today, I’m not feeling well. Gentlemen, please continue.”

"Why are you leaving already It's only a few o'clock!"

Lu Chen became increasingly impatient. These people, who appeared respectable and well-mannered on a daily basis, were all prominent figures with high social status. When facing their subordinates, they put on an act of authority and reprimanded them in a calculated manner, each one vying to outdo the other in their performance.

This wine is really something when you have too much of it, wow.

Lu Chen smiled faintly and left, pulling open the door to the private room and was about to walk out.

Before I even stepped out, I stopped dead in my tracks. In the hallway, I saw a familiar figure.

He was three or five meters away from this private room.

He wasn't too sure, so he tentatively called out, "Mrs. Shen"

The person in front of him ignored him.

In the private room, all the bigwigs at the table stopped what they were doing. Regardless of what they were doing before, they all turned their heads and stared in one direction.

"Mrs. Shen Which Mrs. Shen"

The bald man voiced everyone's unspoken question.

On the table, the digital tycoon's face contorted into a bizarre expression... Could it be He had just mentioned Shen Xiujin, couldn't he be "that" Mrs. Shen

Lu Chen ignored the group of half-drunk big bosses behind him. The more he looked at that back, the slower his steps, the limping leg, taking one step deep and one step shallow toward the elevator. Seeing that he was about to enter the elevator, he suddenly felt anxious and hurriedly shouted:

"Jian Tong"

That figure suddenly stopped, Lu Chen's heart became even more certain.

Behind the scenes, a table full of people were not calm: "No way..."

The woman slowly turned around.

Lu Chen's face broke into a genuine smile. "It really is you! When did you come back"

Jian Tong was called out. When she saw the person, she hesitated for a moment, "President Lu"

Lu Chen didn't hesitate, strode out of the private room. Jian Tong stood at the elevator entrance. Lu Chen walked over and looked up and down at this woman, a look of delight in his eyes: "You disappeared for three years."

Jian Tong hummed softly, lowering her eyes, a hint of sarcasm in her gaze... Yes, three years.

For three years, then another three, she couldn't escape this mire. After enduring countless hardships and using every trick in the book to finally break free, she now finds herself willingly returning to it.

Outside the VIP room, several audience members were gathered. They were all the big shots who had just been in the room and were now staring at the woman at the elevator entrance as if she were a ghost.

The bald man said, "He really is 'that' Jian Tong!"

"How could you..." Lu Chen didn't know what to say. This woman seemed different, but if he looked closely, she was still the same Jian Tong who had been cautious and careful three years ago.

At first glance, she felt in her heart that the woman before her was different.

I can't quite put my finger on what's different.

It seems that compared to three years ago, there's an added indifference, a lack of concern

Normally, with this kind of her, at first glance, she seems more carefree than three years ago.

But why did he feel that the woman's sorrow seemed to have deepened

"Whatever President Lu wants to ask, I know." The woman's eyelashes fluttered, then a light smile curved her lips: "President Lu, why bother asking. You will understand later." Her gaze made Lu Chen feel strange. He felt that the light smile in her eyes was too fake.

But everyone said that, he asked all the questions he could think of, effortlessly, with a single sentence, he shut him up.

Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, then said: Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

"You... remember Cain"

The woman's face blanched rapidly, only for a fleeting moment before she masked it. So fast that Lu Chen thought he had misseen, his narrow eyes grew a layer of depth:

"Kane Ferrell, you met him at the Eastern Emperor." He didn't want to bring up the Eastern Emperor if he could help it, after all... He glanced at the woman across from him: "He's always been regretful and wanted to apologize to you. It's just that later on, you disappeared. Everyone couldn't find you."

For the past three years, he has had a knot in his heart, constantly regretting that thing.

He returned to his country. When he left, he asked me to tell you, if I ever see you again, to say sorry for him.

For a long time, there was silence.

Lu Chen thought she would cry. After all, being humiliated like that, anyone would be hurt, wouldn't they

Or one might generously say, it's already passed, nothing to make a fuss about.

"Who is Kane"

When she said these four words, Lu Chen was stunned.

But he was certain this woman must remember a man like Kane.

Now, with just four words, he dismissed him and Caine, and with them, Caine's remorse.

Keane is a true playboy, an excellent hunter, only his target is women.

"Kane…" Lu Chen still wanted to say something.

Jian Tong interrupted him: "Mr. Lu, if you want to talk about personal matters, I think it's unnecessary."

If it's about business, Mr. Jian is indeed very sincere and cooperative with Mr. Lu.

This... she managed to fend him off with just a few words... Wait a minute! Jane

Lu Chen's narrow eyes flashed. "You represent the Jian family now" She could speak for the Jian family

Jian Tong, equals to, only love.

But she, has always been unable to get close with the Jian family.

This is a secret known to everyone in Shanghai.

Grandfather Jian's love was too thin, too cold.

Jian Tong reached out and tucked a strand of her long hair behind her ear: "In my hands, I control over 51% of the shares in Jian Group." The woman extended her hand, her slender wrist so thin it seemed alarmingly fragile: "Mr. Lu, please take care of me from now on."

Lu Chen was shocked beyond measure!

She... just came back like that

From the corner of his eye, Lu Chen saw that wrist and silently reached out to grasp it. "General Jian,"

Outside the private room, most of the bigwigs' drunken stupor had worn off. Each of them gaped with their mouths wide open, staring at the woman by the elevator entrance, their expressions ludicrously comical.

Jan, has the master changed

What time did it happen

They didn't hear a word about such a big event!

"Look at that woman, turning to walk into the elevator: 'Does Jian Zhen Dong have the heart to send a Jian family member away with a bow'"

Though bald, he might truly be "smart to the top". There wasn't a trace of intoxication in those eyes that had always been blurry with alcohol. His shrewdness as a businessman allowed him to almost guess everything – what had happened to the Jian family.

"Shen Xiujin was ruthless, and this wife of his was also a ruthless person." Stealing the ancestral property from their elders wasn't the act of a kind person, it was the action of someone who hated that family to the core.

Tonight, the entire S city upper circle knows—Jian Tong from the Jian family is back.r. Shen, the old patriarch of the family, was amusing himself with a bird when he received a phone call, which interrupted his enjoyment. He immediately became annoyed: "Rushing around like that even...
