Chapter 140: Pride Imprinted on the Soul

ous under the light: "Shen... Mr. Shen..." Yes, it was dangerous!That man now exuded an aura of extreme danger. She didn't know what she had said wrong to anger him. To herself, she muttered: "Jian To...The short story was so captivating, it drew a crowd and caused a stir.

"Nonsense! My grandfather is my biological father. When have I ever insulted him!" Jian Zhen Dong roared in anger!

"You don't have any! You know Grandpa cared most about 'Wei Ai' in his lifetime. Would he be pleased if you sold 'Wei Ai' to someone else! "

You're humiliating Grandpa!

"Eighty million! Eighty million! Jian Zhen Dong, have you never seen money before! Eighty million, you sold off Grandpa's 'Only Love Fund,' the one he had so much hope in! You said Grandpa would be pleased Are you insulting Grandpa's intelligence, his morals, his abilities!"

She cursed, from the depths of her being. Her hatred was a tangled mix of complex emotions!

She called this man her father, yet he was so disappointing!

"Beast! Is this where you get to speak!"

"What does 'Only Love' have to do with you, an outsider How should I deal with it"

Jian Zhen Dong was also furious, glaring at him: "If we're really being honest, if the old man were still alive, he would have been driven to death by your disgraceful act!"

Jian Tong's whole body trembled. Jian Zhen Dong had actually hinted, in front of everyone at this gathering, that she, Jian Tong, was no longer part of the Jian family. He had even painted her as a murderer, an ex-convict released from prison!

It is said that family ugliness should not be publicized... Oh, wait, didn't Mr. Jian already say so, his daughter Jane is an "outsider"!

Gritting her teeth, could she refute it How could she refute it What grounds did she have to refute it!

A wave of fatigue washed over her. She closed her eyes, then opened them again. The faint glimmer in her eyes dimmed for a moment before brightening once more as she forced herself to perk up.

"Mr. Jian, if Grandfather were still alive, he would protect me with his life because he would always trust me!"

Jian Tong's eyes flashed with inexplicable tears. Under the flickering lamplight, everyone's attention was focused on this farce. No one noticed that the woman, one of the main characters in this incident, was becoming increasingly pale.

Jian Mo Bai had always stood on the side, but for some reason at this moment, he walked over: “Stop making a fuss.” He walked to Jian Tong’s face, only a distance of two or three meters apart. His handsome face was full of dark anger:

"Stop making a scene. Do you want our Jian family to follow you and become the laughingstock of City S"

Once upon a time, your grandfather doted on you and pampered you. He kept you by his side and personally taught you, but the wise old man, despite his brilliance throughout his life, never expected to be wrong about someone. He always said that you were the most outstanding one in the Jian family for generations, but he was ultimately mistaken about you.

I don't think Grandpa ever imagined, in his death, that you would do such things. If he knew what you were doing down there, would he still trust you Would he still protect you

Child, don't always think that someone will protect you. The situation you are in today is the result of your own reckless decisions.

Jian Tong was trembling with rage, but after Jian Mo Bai finished speaking, she calmed down instead. She raised her head and looked quietly at the handsome young face in front of her. Suddenly, she chuckled:

"I never knew you were so jealous of me. Grandfather raised me and taught me himself, and you think I'm favored and took your place"

"Little Jian, do you think I took everything that should have belonged to you" She suddenly felt like she didn't really understand these "family members" she had lived with for over twenty years.

"My grandfather gave me a chance, but he also gave you one. That summer was so hot that even eggs dropped on the ground could be fried. My grandfather made both of us copy Buddhist scriptures under the shade of a tree. "

But you're a playful kid who's afraid of the heat and can't sit still. You ran inside to play video games in the air conditioning.

I'm afraid Grandpa will scold you, so I copied my part and yours.

"Jian Dashao... From the moment you got up from your desk under the shade and ran inside to play video games in the air-conditioned room, you gave up on the opportunity yourself."

Little Tong recounted the past: “But grandfather thought you were the eldest grandson of the family, and the eldest grandson should be in charge. Later, the things he taught me, he would also have the tutor teach you. Grandfather's notes on doing business, he asked me to memorize them for a week and then hand the notes to you.”

You ended up gathering dust in a forgotten corner of the bookshelf.

My grandfather taught me personally, but you have this same thing that I have!

But as we grow older, our abilities become more distinct.

My grandfather was afraid that I would neglect family ties and fight over the inheritance in the future. So, in that year, he established the "Only Love Fund." Do you think the "Only Love Fund" had a lot of money flowing on the surface at the time

My grandfather made a bet with me. He had me swear that if "Vi Love" became successful before my coming-of-age ceremony, then "Vi Love" would be given to me as an eighteenth birthday gift, the only asset I could get from the Jian family. But there's a good thing about it: marital autonomy.

But in other words, if 'love' is dead, then I'll obediently go through with the marriage and get a dowry. I won't think about anything else.

Jian Da Shao, you stand here today, what qualifications do you have to blame me, to accuse me of taking everything from you

Grandpa always gives you what is already well-established. Grandpa, however, gives me what I have to cultivate myself!

Why do you get the fruits of years of hard work without having to lift a finger Why, after all my efforts, countless sleepless nights, and endless socializing, my life's work ends up being auctioned off here, in this place I've called home for over twenty years!

Such a secret, until today, Jian Tong just said it!

Everyone present was shocked!

Once upon a time, everyone saw how much Old Master Jian loved Jian Tong. He even took her to meet the princess of a certain country, but he didn't take his own grandson... Everyone thought that Old Master Jian was spoiling Jian Tong.

But from what Jian Tong said today, it seems that Grandpa Jian truly dotes on this granddaughter. That's why he raised her so well. But no matter how much he loves her, he didn't intend to give the Jian Group to Jian Tong.

And those wealthy second and third-generation heirs, the young masters, were also dumbfounded...

Shen Xiujin's black eyes were profound and unfathomable, staring straight at that woman... She no longer had her former vibrant beauty, graceful figure, or past pride. But at this moment, she radiated an ethereal glow.

After hearing those words that just left her lips... Shen Xiuqin's heart pounded like thunder. For the first time in his life, he looked into someone with all his being, seeing right into their eyes and soul!

More than ever, she understood. Her pride, her head held high, her spine straight as an arrow, and that confident expression always plastered on her face - none of it stemmed from the late Mr. Jian's doting love or his legacy of billions. Nor was it solely a product of her own abilities. It was something deeper, a brand etched onto her very soul, a self-respect and confidence that ran through her veins.ons were too intense, swirling within her. She wasn't her usual self. But she couldn't help it, couldn't hold back the pain, couldn't resist the tide of unbearable past images rushing in!Why!Why did y...
