Chapter 348

as did Jian Tong. They simply continued to pore over the files.Awkward, with a touch of harmony.An eerie atmosphere, no one dared to break.Ultimately, it was Jian Tong who couldn't hold back first."M...Falling in love with him was my mistake, falling deeply for him... so I gambled away half my life.

Jian Tong suddenly raised her head, her eyes red: "Meng Jie, half a life, isn't that enough"

Chapter 290: Meeting Again

Is half a life enough!

Su Meng opened her mouth, but no words came out.

It hurts a little, others say, it's all in the past, why hold on to grudges.

Just like those households hidden under the red lanterns, under countless lights, there are many stories from many families.

Usually, the one who is wronged and mistreated also has to "be" forgiven.

Look, I've already apologized. Why do you still hold a grudge You're so vindictive and petty. You're not generous at all.

Then bystanders, righteous and indignant, look, he's already apologized, what more do you want Can't you be a little kind

But those pains, only those who have experienced them can truly understand.

Su Meng looked at Jian Tong, who was heartbroken. She wanted this fool in front of her to be happy.

But fools are not truly foolish. Fools are more awake than anyone, and more steadfast than any one person. Otherwise, Su Meng couldn't imagine how they could have endured going from heaven to hell overnight, being condemned by everyone.

After going through all those things, how many people can continue to live without changing their original aspirations.

Even himself... Su Meng abruptly picked up his glass and gulped it down in one go.

Even she herself... hasn't changed, has she

Jian Tong picked up her bag and, as she left, cast one last lingering glance at Su Meng: "Meng Jie, you said, in this world, who truly understands whom"

The question is nonsensical.

Su Meng couldn't understand: "You..."

"In this world, one may not even understand themselves." Su Meng looked at the woman standing in the doorway and calmly told her, "Mengjie, your boss thinks he understands me."

"Su Meng opened her mouth, wondering why she felt the topic was getting closer and closer to an indescribable feeling. There was a strange feeling of palpitations."

She stared at the door, and she saw the woman smile faintly: "He's wrong."

"Creak," the door opened and then slammed shut. In the next room, Su Meng stood frozen at the table, her heart pounding in her chest. There was only the lingering scent of Pu-erh tea; apart from that, it seemed as if Jian Tong had never been there at all.

After Jian Tong left, Su Meng stood there for a long time, lost in thought, pondering every word she had said before leaving.

I felt like the fool had already made some decision.

Jian Tong walked out of the club, the night wind blowing against her skin. She pulled her coat tighter and shivered, looking up at the sky and whispering softly, "It's so cold."

The valet parked the car for her.

"Just leave it."

"Okay, Ms. Jian."

She called out to the parking attendant who was about to leave: "Wait a minute, please drive the car to the parking lot."

"And you"

"I don't feel like driving tonight. I'll come back tomorrow to pick it up."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The parking attendant came and went, returning the car keys to Jian Tong.

She hadn't taken the subway or a bus in a long time.

Tonight, I especially want to take the subway and be squeezed on the bus.

The time displayed on the watch, 8:30 p.m., night was approaching, but the street was still bustling with people.

The ebb and flow of people, the sounds of footsteps and conversations brushing past my ears, each one passing by.

There is an almost envious emotion in her eyes.

The subway transfer to the bus didn't drive away the loneliness she had imagined. Still, she was alone.

Still, my mind is heavy with thoughts.

Still, I can't escape this damn cage.

Incoming phone call ——

She picked up her phone, glanced at the caller ID, her eyes grew serious, and she pressed her thumb down. A hint of tension and anxiety flickered in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Jian, we've done all we can."

On the phone, a formulaic female voice spoke smoothly and effortlessly.

But a week ago, didn't you say there was a suitable one

"Ms. Jian, I'm so sorry, we contacted that person as quickly as possible, but unfortunately, when we found him, he had been in a car accident and passed away."

"It was just released today. We've done our best." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jian Tong subconsciously tightened her grip on her phone: “So, are there any suitable ones in his family”

"I'm sorry," a woman said formally over the phone.

Jian Tong fell silent.

"Ms. Jian Ms. Jian Are you alright"

Jian Tong suddenly came to her senses: "It's alright, about your payment, I will transfer it to the account you provided without a penny less."

"Ms. Jian, please rest assured, since you've found us, we will do our utmost to help. Believe me, there must be more than one successful case in the world where someone like your brother could find a compatible match."

Okay, thank you.

She said it lightly, knowing that this kind of opportunity wasn't something that could be had just by asking.

Even if so, would Jian Mo Bai be able to wait

Putting down her phone, she slowly reached for the back of her waist. The scenery outside flew by quickly; she couldn't make out what was outside, just a blur. The most dazzling thing was the colorful lights along the roadside.

Slowly, closed his eyes.

got off the car

There's still a distance from where she lives.

She walked in that direction, very slowly, very slowly. There were certainly reasons for her difficulty walking, but also a resistance in her heart.

After walking for a while, my legs started to ache.

A cold wind whistled past her back, “whoosh,” a sudden hard brake, a black Maybach pulled up beside her.

She frowned... how could anyone drive like that.

The car door, and he opened it with a smooth motion.

"Ms. Jian, please come with us."

She glared at him, "It's dark out. Can you see with sunglasses on"

That person chuckled softly, "As long as I can see Ms. Jian in person."

"What if I said no"

Then I could only “invite” Miss Jian onto the car.

Jian Tong coldly looked at the man: "Shen Yi, Shen family's rules, those who betray, what will be the end"

"Miss Jian, you know, you have the surname Jian, while I at least have the surname Shen."

"Heh~" Jian Tong sneered with a light laugh, glanced over, and asked, "Shen Yi, who are you working for now"

"Shen Yi, at least he shares the same surname as the Shen family, so naturally he does things for them. Miss Jian, why bother asking knowingly." Shen Yi's face was filled with impatience: "Well, I still have work to do, Miss Jian, think it over yourself, whether you obediently get in the car or if someone needs to 'invite' you in."s speaking when Jian Tong suddenly raised her head and shook it, looking at Su Meng, "I don't know." Su Meng was stunned... didn't know... what did that meanAs if understanding Su Meng's astonishmen...
