Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 551 - 506: Jun and Your Liangsheng Ending, Middle Part: Characters 2
Wendy squinted as she looked at Jian Liangtong. After a while, she lifted her lips in a cold smile, said nothing, and turned around to walk into her own office.
The arc at Jian Liangtong’s mouth dropped the moment Wendy’s figure disappeared from her sight.
Those who were hiding in their offices watching the "show," now came out, standing in the hallway, their eyes shining as they stared at Jian Liangtong.
"Indeed, the older the ginger, the hotter the spice. Look at Sister Wendy’s skill in playing people, it’s exquisite."
"What do you understand? Sister Wendy is magnanimous, feeling pity and wanting to help her out. But she doesn’t appreciate it, looking down on the girl’s role and suffering for her ego."
"I found it strange earlier, how a manager just starting out suddenly had resources pouring towards her like they grew legs. Now I understand."
"Understand what?"
"Yeah, what do you understand?"
"Hmph. Can’t you see? Those who can’t, just look at her face carefully... fox spirit."
"...Heh, understood."
"Now she must have been abandoned by the big boss, in anger, the resources are running away like they have legs, aren’t they? Ha."
"..."
Voices from all directions rushed towards Jian Liangtong like a flood.
Jian Liangtong’s face was as pale as paper; her thin body looked frail and trembling slightly.
If this flood came any more fiercely, she might be swept away mercilessly.
"Sister Tong, let’s go."
A firm hand gripped her arm tightly at that moment.
Jian Liangtong’s lashes quivered slightly and she slowly lifted her head, vaguely seeing Xu Jiaren’s chiseled face through her blurred retinas.
She squeezed her palm forcefully and gave Xu Jiaren a smile, "Mm."
Jian Liangtong’s whole body was weak.
Her legs felt as if stepping on cotton, sinking into nothingness.
So as soon as Jian Liangtong took a step, her entire body leaned towards Xu Jiaren.
Xu Jiaren was startled, hesitated for a moment, then reached out to support Jian Liangtong’s arm.
It took nearly fifteen minutes to get out of the GR Building. Though Jian Liangtong seemed to be moving forward, actually, she had no strength at all, relying on Xu Jiaren’s firm hold to walk out.
After walking a certain distance away where the building could no longer see them.
Xu Jiaren’s expression suddenly tightened. He helped Jian Liangtong quickly walk to a roadside bench and sat her down, looking at her pale and weak face with concern, "Sister Tong, are you all right?"
Seeing her own pale weakness in Xu Jiaren’s eyes, Jian Liangtong’s eyes moved slightly and she smiled at him, "I’m fine."
"Really okay?"
Xu Jiaren asked worriedly.
Jian Liangtong shook her head, "Really fine. You go get busy..."
At this point, Jian Liangtong suddenly stopped.
Now all the collaborations have been terminated, what is she asking him to be busy with?
Jian Liangtong’s fingertips tightened in her palm, apologetically glancing at Xu Jiaren’s face clouded with hidden disappointment, just about to say something.
Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of a black Bentley parked nearby. The moment the man seated at the driver’s seat with deep eyes gazing over appeared in her pupils, Jian Liangtong’s fingers curled up in her palm, uncontrollably trembling lightly.
The events of that night at Houtan echoed in her mind like alarms. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
That person said, be prepared mentally, because she’s going to have bad luck.
Jian Liangtong’s dark eyes trembled.
If, if it’s really him controlling everything behind the scenes...
Jian Liangtong suddenly clenched her hands together, like a person in a sealed space severely lacking oxygen, striving hard to breathe.
Xu Jiaren saw Jian Liangtong’s whole face intensely contorted, her hands gripping each other so tightly it looked as if she’d twist her own fingers off before she’d stop.
Xu Jiaren gasped secretly, shocked, as he looked at Jian Liangtong, "Sister Tong, you seem off. I better take you to the hospital."
"..." Jian Liangtong lowered her head, shutting her eyes tightly, her hands and legs stiffened as if cramping.
After a while, she spoke, her voice unexpectedly hoarse, "It’s fine, I’ll be okay after sitting for a while. You go ahead."
"But..."
"I want some peace." Jian Liangtong didn’t raise her head, her voice hoarse with a trace of breakdown.
"..."
With furrowed brows, Xu Jiaren looked at her worriedly.
Though Jian Liangtong kept her eyes shut, she knew Xu Jiaren hadn’t left.
Slowly loosening her interlocked fingers, Jian Liangtong gradually lifted her pale face, a flicker of distraction and confusion in her eyes as she looked at Xu Jiaren, "You go ahead. I’ll think of other ways, and I’ll notify you all if there’s any news."
Xu Jiaren’s eyes showed a hint of depression, "Sister Tong, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. In this world, there are many unfortunate things happening every day, far worse than our current situation, there’s always something."
