e turned cold in an instant: "Keep an eye on him.""Yes."Lu Ming, didn't you know it when you first said you didn't know"Boss, what about those hooligans""Leave them be, I don't have time to deal with...Xiao Heng was beaten again by Old Master Xiao. When he went in, he was wearing a clean white shirt. When he came out of the old house, the white shirt was stained with blood.

The Butler, Lao Li, chased after him: "Young Master, here you go."

Xiao Heng swept his gaze to the ointment in Old Li's hand, the coldness in his eyes dissipated a little, and he reached out to take it: "Thank you, Uncle Li."

The butler hesitated for a moment, before calling out to Xiao Heng as he was about to get in the car: "Young Master, you... what's the point of this again"

"Uncle Li, you don't understand."

"It's just a woman... There will be many more if the young master wants them."

There are many women, but there is only one Jian Tong.

"Sigh... The old master would never allow a woman like that into the Xiao family's gates. Young Master, why insist so The one from the Shen family isn't easy to get along with, and you haven't had any experience with Xiao Industries before. Taking over now is a major taboo in the industry. "

Master, to have reached this point today is truly astonishing. Your progress has surprised even your old master greatly.

"But young master, let me, Old Li, act my age for once," Butler Old Li said, "When you were a child, young master, no matter what, you always loved to compare yourself with that boy from the Shen family. Both the elders of the Xiao and Shen families saw this."

Master, you lost a lot when you were young.

Now, both the young master and that boy from the Shen family have grown up.

Old Li didn't show any mercy to Xiao Heng at all, bluntly asking: "Young Master, I presume you've already experienced the methods and capabilities of that person from the Shen family. "

Of all the generations of the Shen family, Shen Xiujin was the most ruthless and venomous. Yet, this person possessed incredible ability and intelligence. What's even more perverse is that this person was also the most heartless.

"Master, this sort of person, if you can't befriend them, then you shouldn't make them an enemy. This is something Master, you should already know."

Know but not do.

To knowingly commit a mistake is the most wrong thing to do.

And their young master, such a clever person, made a mistake he shouldn't have.

Old Li couldn't help but harbor resentment towards the woman named Jian Tong in his heart.

Xiao Heng's hands on the steering wheel gradually tightened as he listened to Lao Li's words... He looked up and smiled, asking the butler Lao Li, "Uncle Li, do all think I will lose"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Heng asked this way. For a moment, Lao Li was stunned and speechless: "Young master... it's not what you think..."

Xiao Heng let out a light chuckle: "Uncle Li," he glanced at the bloodstain on his shirt sleeve, "Grandfather's cane is quite painful when it lands on you. But if I were to give up that idiot, it would hurt more than a hundred canes from Grandfather."

"With that, he started the engine and waved to the astonished butler, Old Li: "I know that right now, it's difficult for me to beat Shen Xiujin. But luckily, hard work can make up for shortcomings. The current situation isn't too bad. Although I haven't made up for the previous losses, things have improved... Uncle Li, it's not time for me to give up yet."

Lao Li's face was complex. "Young Master, that girl named Jian Tong, is she really the one who can make you disregard your grandfather's anger, the pressure of the company, the pressure of the shareholders, and the pressure of the entire Xiao family Is it worth risking everything for her"

Xiao Heng's lips curled slightly, almost without hesitation: "Worth it." He was extremely firm: "Li Shu, I have something to do at my company, so I'll leave first."

The car drove away slowly. Xiao Heng's lips curled up, and he thought of Jian Tong again. He touched his thin lips. This was the first woman to make his heart beat so fast after kissing her... There were many women in the world, but Jian Tong was the only one.

For her, he could withstand the pressure from his family, the pressure from his company and shareholders!

Never! Give up!

His heart, just like this speed, was surging! … Shen Xiujin, so what!

……

Half a month later

Jian Tong once again saw Xiao Heng. He had become much thinner, but he seemed more energetic, especially the excitement in his eyes at this moment.

"Come on! I'll take you somewhere." Without a word, he pulled the person into the car.

Where to

"You'll know when you get there." He added, "Take leave tonight."

“...”

"Just for today, okay"

"..." No good.

“Ugh... I’m so unlucky. I treated someone to so many bowls of beef noodle soup… but that person doesn't know how to be grateful, tsk tsk tsk, what a ingrate.” The man in the driver’s seat muttered to himself as he drove, his voice loud enough for Jian Tong to ignore it.

"Oh... It's a shame so many bowls of beef noodles went to waste, inviting someone to eat them for nothing."

Jian Tong continued to be silent, offering no opinion.

“Beef noodle soup… beef noodle soup… you died so pitifully, you know People say that if someone eats something from you, they owe you a favor. That woman is too ungrateful, she ate so many bowls of my beef noodle soup and wouldn't even take a day off to thank me.”

"...Jian Tong felt a surge of 'blood boiling' excitement, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time, at least not since Xiao Heng had disappeared. Her emotions hadn't been this volatile."

"My beef noodles..."

Jian Tong gritted her teeth, finally...

"Actually..." she spoke softly, the man beside her, his eyes lighting up... She was finally talking... "Actually... I don't like beef noodles."

On the side, the man’s upturned corners of his mouth suddenly froze, with a moment of awkwardness tugging at them: “Cough, cough… What did you say I suddenly went deaf and can’t hear! Hear, not, see!”

"I said," Jian Tong's eyes flashed a hint of helplessness, "I promise you, I'll take leave tonight. But you have to tell me, what are we going to do"

As soon as she finished speaking, the man in the driver's seat beside her immediately turned his head in surprise and asked her, "Really Really"

"...Didn't Mr. Xiao become deaf"

"Temporary deafness. It's better now."

Even Jian Tong, who had few emotional fluctuations and lived a somewhat numb life, could not help but twitch her face. She hurriedly lowered her head again, gazing at her nose and her heart.

Xiao Heng's eyes swept over this scene, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Jian Tong remembered again: "Mr. Xiao, you haven't told me why you want me to take a leave of absence. What are you going to do"

As they were talking, the car suddenly braked and came to a stop.

"Here we are." Xiao Heng pulled a smile at her lips: "Get off, you'll know soon enough."

Jian Tong looked puzzled. Xiao Heng had already gotten out of the car and walked around to her side, opening her door: "Xiao Tong, get out."

Jian Tong glanced at the building before her. It was an old factory transformed, not opulent at all... She let out a sigh of relief in her heart. Xiao Heng had already made up his mind and, without further explanation, took her hand and walked inside.

After going in, I realized that this place was a casual teahouse.

"Child, the Black Forest cake here is very delicious. Let's order one later and you can try it."

As Xiao Heng spoke, he led Jian Tong toward the innermost private room.

Jian Tong simply thought Xiao Heng was having another whim, taking her out for sweets.

When they reached the entrance to the private room, Xiao Heng's eyes sparkled as he said to her, "Let me introduce you to my best friend from when I studied abroad."

At hearing this, Jian Tong immediately became nervous: "I don't..."

With a swoosh, Xiao Heng had already pushed open the door of the private room: "Xiaotong, come here, let me introduce you. This is Lu Chen and Kane, my best friends from when I studied abroad."

The door opened, and three pairs of eyes were stunned.

In an instant, Jian Tong's face turned ashen!out in the open.“Actually,” she pondered for only a few seconds before deciding to ask, “If Mr. Kane is available, could he tell me about the matter regarding the internal affairs of Jian Shi that he...
