Chapter 121: This is a Trap
ai River bank. She pointed a finger at the woman on the wicker chair, eyes closed and oblivious to everything, her disbelief palpable."How can you!""I can," Jian Tong said slowly."This is unfilial! Yo...Jane was genuinely unsure why she felt so resistant to cooperating with this performance today, in front of these people.
No, she clearly knew.
Deep down, there was an indomitable pride that could never be extinguished, no matter how many setbacks she faced. And these people before her, three years ago, what were they like in front of her
She held such disdain in her heart. Three years later, she was unwilling to face their scornful gazes and ridicule before them.
So what if she's still a mess She did it, she ultimately succeeded. She didn't end up falling flat on her face the way they wanted... that's enough.
Deep down, her pride prevented her from cooperating with these people's performance. She was perfectly aware of the reason why.
At this moment, Jian Tong heard Wei Sishan's evasive words. She didn't argue with Wei Sishan, nor did she ask her why her words didn't count and she went back on her word.
She had been imprisoned, learned humility, lost a kidney, but not her mind... The initiative was in Wei Sishan's hands, and she controlled the discourse.
You go to an American and reason with them, they give you a lecture on morality. You reason with them using morality, they give you another lecture on logic… Similarly, she reasons with Wei Sishan, Wei Sishan gives her conditions, she gives Wei Sishan conditions, and Wei Sishan reasons with her. All because... Wei Sishan controls the narrative!
But, conditions, still need to be said.
"What will it take for you to delete this and give me the backup"
Wei Sishan's heart felt at ease... Jian Tong was just suited to groveling before me, a murderer. What qualifications did he have to look at me with such defiance
"You're...doing just fine now." Unbidden, Wei Sishan handed her phone to Jian Tong. "Do you want a backup of this video Go ahead. You," she suddenly pointed at a middle-aged man with a large belly and bald head sitting on the sofa, "go flatter him."
Jian Tong's shoulders trembled... She slowly turned her head, looking at Wei Si Shan, unable to believe her ears, hearing something.
And the latter, with a smirk, smiled even wider: "I heard from He Wu and the others that you're now in the 'service industry'. They also said...that you... are short on money"
"嘖嘖～We've known each other for so many years, sisters shouldn't neglect you," one person pushed the box to Jian Tong's face, "ka cha" with a sound, the box opened, revealing a box full of red banknotes... red and eye-catching!
"Just show us your 'skills', sisters also want to open their eyes and see the 'service level' of former Miss Jian."
A piercing voice entered Jian Tong's ears. The woman hung her head, her nails digging deep into her flesh, using all her strength to suppress the surging anger... There was also a hint of helplessness in her anger... It turned out that no matter how she defended the little bit of self-respect left, she could not change one reality in the end - she was just a prisoner numbered "926", nothing else!
"Jian Tong, don't forget, the videos on my phone can be uploaded at any time. If I upload them to Weibo, Moments, or even Instagram, what do you think will happen"
Jian Tong gritted her teeth hard, her face not looking good, and the hand drooping at her side clenched tightly!
Wanting to struggle with all my might, to strive with every ounce of strength! But I find that no matter what I do, it all ends in futility... This helplessness is beyond despair!
I can't help but feel discouraged... No matter how hard I struggle, it seems pointless... A silent despair arises in my heart, gradually spreading to every part of my body!
She closed her eyes, and the hand she had been clenching so tightly finally relaxed in despair.
Her gaze fell back on Wei Sishan's face, and she said clearly, word by word:
"Miss Wei, are you sure, this time, if I follow your instructions and hand over all the backups to you, you guarantee that they won't be leaked"
Wei Sishan was about to continue acting aloof and coldly snort, wanting to belittle Jian Tong and tell her she had no right to decide all this, that she had no choice but to do as she said. Just as she let out a cold snort, ready to speak those words...
"Miss Wei, everyone has secrets unknown to others. If this time, you're playing me again, I swear to God, I will — definitely — kill you!"
Hiss!
Wei Sishan gasped, her eyes almost unable to look away from the woman's face, even for a second!
Wei Sishan's heart was pounding wildly, trembling with fear... Jian Tong, that wretched person, actually meant what she said!
This was the meaning Wei Sishan read from Jian Tong's unyielding eyes!
Wei Sishan was stared down by Jian Tong's eyes, and she took a step back in fright. Feeling embarrassed, she immediately put on a stern face trying to regain her composure:
"Hmph~ What do you think you are! Jian Tong, I'm not like you, I wouldn't be so shameless... I just said, you entertained us sisters with your performance, and of course I'll give you what you want."
Despite her righteous indignation, wasn't she the one who just reneged on her word in front of everyone
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Jian Tong's eyes.
She remained silent, only nodding her head in agreement: "Fine, Miss Wei means what she says." She didn't want to owe another life, but just now, she had genuinely felt the urge to kill Wei Sishan!
Raising her head again, a smile that was more formulaic than genuine appeared on her unremarkable face as she addressed the middle-aged man on the sofa:
"Sir, I don't drink, I don't sell myself, but everything else is fine."
Around, there were gasps of shock and disbelief... No one here believed that the once arrogant Miss Jian would say such things.
Simply… utterly despicable!
I don't know where Wei Sishan and her group of people found their extras. This middle-aged, bald, potbellied uncle had never seen such a scene before in his life. Everything that just happened had completely dumbfounded him.
"This, this…" He panicked and blurted out the truth: "Miss Wei, you only said you'd be an extra... Where's the cameraman"
It was obvious that what was happening now had exceeded this middle-aged man's capacity to accept. He looked at Wei Sishan with embarrassment, blinking his eyes: "Miss Wei... you're clearly intimidating that young lady."
Wei Sishan suddenly shouted, "Shut up! You're taking advantage of me, aren't you You don't want your 'performance fee' anymore"
"This…" Thinking of the high performance fee, almost a month's worth of his salary, the uncle who was called to be an extra, looked conflicted and reluctant.
Jian Tong's heart was clear—today, it was a setup...a setup specifically targeting her.
>
"This...this..." The amateur uncle hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to do. His head got hot and he blurted out, "My foot, it's been very sore recently, would you mind giving it a rub"
Suddenly, silence fell upon the surroundings. Pairs of eyes, full of anticipation, were fixed on Jian Tong, waiting with bated breath for her next move.
And Jian Tong, even with her head bowed, could clearly feel those ardent gazes. Her face maintained a standard smile throughout as she knelt on one knee under everyone's scrutiny, removing the shoes of that middle-aged man on the sofa and placing his feet on her own knees.
Boom!
Everything exploded!
"Wow! What did I see!"
"Good...how degrading!"on the hospital bed. On his familiar face, she saw a completely unfamiliar expression—one of carefulness, like a child who had done something wrong."Big sister, did I make you unhappy"Jian Tong's thro...
