re in great fear.Whoosh!Shen Xiuqin raised his head and glanced at the person on the bed. The person was still asleep, but their face, which was already pale, now showed fear and terror in their sleep...After his release from prison, Jian Tong first heard the term "Only Love Fund" from someone else. He deliberately did not inquire about it after being released.

"‘The Love Fund’… has nothing to do with me. My dad… the other people in the Jian family, will make it work and cherish it.”

After all, this "Love Fund" is not only her own heart and blood, but also the life's work of her grandfather. There's no reason why other members of the Jian family shouldn't cherish and love it.

She naturally assumed that the man in front of her suddenly chuckled: "Jian Tong, if I hadn't witnessed 'Only Love Fund' growing in your hands with my own eyes, I would almost think you were too naive, Jian Tong. You are thinking too well of the Jian family."

Upon hearing this, Jian Tong's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose: "What does Mr. Shen mean"

“Tonight’s banquet, strictly speaking, is an auction. And the host is the Jian family, and the location is also the Jian family villa.”

Jian Tong listened more and more, feeling something was wrong: "Auction... what"

It couldn't be...

"Your father and brothers are going to replace the chairman of the 'Only Love Fund' tonight, which means…"

“They are going to sell off the ‘Love Only Fund’!” Unprecedentedly, she interrupted Shen Xiuqin’s words, shouting loudly!

Shen Xiuqin no longer said much, got up, and said, "Go or not, it's up to you."

Jian Tong gritted her teeth... To be honest, she was afraid to go to such a crowded place, afraid to face the contemptuous glances of those familiar faces from the past, afraid to appear in front of people... But... but that was the 'Only Love Fund'.

"Come, I'll go with you." She had to see it with her own eyes, otherwise how could she bear it.

Shen Xiuqin nodded and beckoned to the stylists waiting on the side: "Her, I'll leave it to you."

Jian Tong sat on the sofa, letting those people smear her face... This trip was her own doing! 'Wei'ai Fund' was a gift from her grandfather. Even now that it was in their hands, she had to see with her own eyes how these "family members" were ruining her and her grandfather's hard work!

Like a marionette on strings, the stylist told her what to do, and she silently completed it all. Shen Xiujin leaned against the side, quietly watching everything unfold.

There was no glamorous makeup, but gradually, that woman's face took on the features of Jian Tong from before... It was strange, he actually still remembered what Jian Tong looked like back then. Three years had passed, and Wei Ming's appearance had become hazy and hard to recall. But the woman's look when she confessed, when she was angry, when she was proud, even occasionally arrogant... all of it was etched clearly in his memory at this moment.

She followed the stylist's advice and was about to change into a pure white dress.

"Wait a moment." Shen Xiu Jin spoke softly from the side. Jian Tong looked over, and the stylists also turned to look at him. Shen Xiu Jin moved his steps and walked to the long clothes rack that had been brought into the office along with the stylists. His gaze swept across the rows of colorful dresses, then suddenly reached out and picked one: "Wear this black one."

Jian Tong's gaze swept over the long dress in her hand, and she slowly reached out to take it.

Walking into the lounge near the office, after a short while, the door of the lounge was silently pushed open again. Shen Xiujin glanced over, his eyes flashed with astonishment in an instant... Not because of her appearance, but because this black mermaid gown, worn on her body, seemed to bring back the scene where she confessed her love to him in front of everyone eighteen years ago.

His eyes revealed a heart flutter he hadn't noticed before. Jian Tong felt increasingly uncomfortable under those scorching gazes. He waved his hand dismissively: "Let's go."

……

The car was driving on the road, but halfway through, it turned into an alley. The alley wasn't very big, just barely big enough for a car to fit through.

Not long after, they stopped in front of a handicraft workshop.

Shen Xiujin got out of his car with a carefree swagger, walked over to Jian Tong's side, and reached out to pull open her car door: "Get out."

"Mr. Shen, isn't the banquet at the Jian family" Jian Tong asked softly as she got out of the car.

The man had already taken her hand and was walking forward: “Before the banquet, there's something that needs to be resolved.”

When Jian Tong stepped into this workshop with a quiet, serene atmosphere, she realized it was no ordinary craft studio.

On both sides, there are all kinds of jewelry. There aren't many, but each piece is unique and well-crafted.

I couldn't help but be amazed: "Is this little shop a side business of some international master artist"

Even if she had been to prison, Shen Xiujin could erase her identity and past, but he couldn't erase the vision that Old Master Jian had cultivated in her since childhood. This was the foundation built up from a young age.

“I said this morning when I woke up, how did I hear the magpie chirping on a branch It turns out that Young Master Shen has arrived, how could Young Master Shen have time to visit my little shop” A woman walked out from inside. Her features were both deep like those of a Westerner and soft like those of an Easterner. And her clear and proper Mandarin Chinese already indicated that the woman who came out from inside was a mixed-race beauty.

Jian Tong silently sized up this mixed-race beauty, and the mixed-race beauty was also sizing her up.

Shen Xiujin didn't answer the question from this suddenly appearing mixed-race beauty. He gave a wry smile, pulling his lips into a smirk and retorted sarcastically:

These days, can you still hear magpies calling from the branches Alice, do you know what a magpie looks like

Originally, the mixed-race beauty's name was Alice. Jian Tong retracted his gaze from Alice.

"Shen, who is she" Alice questioned suspiciously, her gaze flickering between their intertwined hands. Suddenly, the light in her eyes dimmed.

Sheng Xiujin ignored her, took out a checkbook and pen from his bosom, and scribbled two lines on it, placing it on the crystal table beside him: "I remember you have a teardrop-shaped blue sapphire ornament. I'll buy it."

Alice froze... then glanced again at his hand clasped with Jenny's, a strange light flickering in her eyes.

She glanced again at the amount on the check on the crystal table, her eyes narrowed. Then, she raised her head: "Shen, you're really generous." Turning around, she went into the inner room. When she came out again, she was holding a box in her hand.

When Alice stood before Jian Tong, she smiled softly and said, "You must take good care of this set of jewelry. It is very, very precious. Until now, I have never thought about selling it to anyone else." Her expression softened even more:

"If it wasn't for Shen wanting it, I wouldn't have taken it out."

Jian Tong glanced at Alice in front of him... Why did she feel that Alice held a grudge against her And this sentence, more pointedly

A hand reached out from the side, taking the box from Alice's hand and placing it on a nearby crystal table. It picked out a sapphire teardrop necklace and put it around Jane's neck, saying in a nonchalant tone, as if unbothered:

"The jewelry in this box, I bought it, it's hers. She can wear it, keep it, or dispose of it as she pleases. I won't interfere."

The implied meaning is: My woman, the things I buy and give her, I don't interfere with how she disposes of them, let alone you.

Alice's mixed-race beauty flushed with crimson and green, her eyes betraying an uncomfortable flicker.

"Ahem... Shen, you haven't introduced me yet. This... Miss, is she from which wealthy family"

Shen Xiuqin pulled Jian Tong's wrist and took off the blue sapphire bracelet from the box, putting it on her. He then took out a pair of earrings.

"I'll put it on myself." Jian Tong hurriedly stopped him, but Shen Xiu Jin dodged her outstretched hand. "Don't move," he said. Right in front of Alice, he put the earring on Jian Tong himself.

Until that ring...

"Don't hide." He held her hand tightly, the ring slipping on, point by point.

Jian Tong's eyes were a mixture of complexity... This scene had appeared countless times in her dreams, yet she never expected that when "dreams come true" today, the excitement she once felt would be gone.

And Alice, from beginning to end, found it most embarrassing.

As for Alice, Shen Xiujin didn't feel sorry at all. He gave money, she delivered the goods, a straightforward transaction. They had only met at a jewelry auction, nothing more than mutual appreciation of talent. Just mutual appreciation... There were plenty of talented jewelry designers in the world besides her.

Before today, this woman was clever enough to never show him the slightest hint of flirtation.

However, since you've made your intentions clear today, there's no need to continue contact. phone. While rushing after the man in front, he asked: "Boss, what happened"In the elevator, the man's thin lips were tightly pressed together, not uttering a word. Only his hawk-like eyes, sharp an...
