This woman, she deserves better
Jian Ning noticed that his gaze was always on his own mother, and was extremely unhappy. But he knew that this was not the time to go against him, so he could only clench his teeth and endure it.
"Thank you, Uncle Ren." Jian Ning replied, choked with emotions.
"Xiao Ning, does Shang Jin know about Zhang Zhikun?" Ren Dehua was smiling, but his eyes were locked on her, not wanting to miss a single emotion on her face.
Jian Ning was startled for a moment before reacting. He pouted and nodded unhappily, then complained: "Because of this, he even scolded me fiercely."
As for how she scolded him, Jian Ning did not say anything, but just let Ren Dehua guess, and as for the result, it was not what she said.
Seeing that Jian Ning's expression did not seem to be fake, Ren Dehua pursed his lips and thought for a while, then continued to ask: "Do you want to leave him?"
Leave? Jian Ning's heart was beating wildly. She wanted to nod her head, but she was unwilling.
Ren Dehua saw her hesitation and smiled, "Xiao Ning, no matter why you're not willing to leave Shang Jin, don't forget that you're a member of the Jane family, so don't get too close to Shang Jin."
However, in Jian Ning's eyes, his earnest words were not filled with much sincerity, but instead, it was as if he was warning him of something.
Jian Ning pretended not to understand, and bitterly laughed, her eyes becoming moist.
"Uncle Ren, there are some things that I cannot decide on. I believe you have also seen what kind of life I live in front of Shang Jin."
He did not believe Jian Ning's words. Based on his many days of observation, he could see that there was a lot of ambiguity between the two of them.
However, Ren Dehua would not be the person to cause trouble, he did not want to see the two of them together.
Ren Dehua took a deep breath and spoke in an unhurried manner: "Xiao Ning, you are by Shang Jin's side, has he allowed you to come into contact with the matters of his company?"
A trace of ridicule flashed past Jian Ning's eyes. As expected, she still wanted to get some things from me.
She looked up at him, confused. After pouting for a long time, she finally shook her head.
"I don't know anything about him, and I've never seen him on business."
"Then what do you do every day?"
Since Ren Dehua didn't get the result he wanted, it was inevitable that he would speak a little louder, and when he looked at Jian Ning, his tone was no longer as amiable as before.
Jian Ning's expression darkened, and self-deprecatingly said: "I am only a plaything given by father, acting in front of others, and then what good days will there be in the future?"
As for the bitterness behind it, she believed that he would be able to understand it before she said it out loud.
Sure enough, Ren Dehua's face stiffened, the ridicule in his eyes was clearly seen by Jian Ning.
He stood up impatiently with his back facing her. "Since you're fine, then I'll head back first. Take good care of yourself."
"Take care, Uncle Ren."
After he left, all the mockery was on his face.
She sat down beside Wen Lengyun, tenderly laid on her body, and pulled her hand.
"Mom, did you see that? These people all wanted to use me. If they didn't want to take advantage of me, then they wanted to be connected to Shang Jin. If I didn't notice, my daughter would definitely have been tricked by him."
Thinking about the consequences of being deceived by Ren Dehua, she could not help but shiver.
If she really was tricked by him, not only would she not be able to take it back, her own life would also be in danger.
Jian Ning suddenly thought of something, turned pale with fright, and quickly ran with her bag.
On the way back, she kept on calling Shang Jin with her phone. However, after calling him a few times, no one answered her call.
When she finally reached Jingshan Villa, she immediately took off her shoes and ran inside.
"Where is Shang Jin, quickly tell me."
When she saw Song Ge walking down the stairs, she anxiously rushed in front of him to stop him and ask.
Song Ge looked at her suspiciously, then looked up the stairs.
Jian Ning understood what he meant and frantically nodded his head to thank him. He threw his shoes on the floor and went upstairs with a "deng deng" sound.
Song Ge, who was standing behind her, frowned. He was completely confused by her lack of sense of propriety.
"Shang Jin, quickly open the door! I have something to say!"
She pounded on the wooden door hard, waiting for Shang Jin to open it for her.
Her palm was already slightly swollen, and it was stinging, but she had neglected it.
Shang Jin slowly walked out of the room. He was wearing a black pyjamas, his hair was still dripping, and without the loneliness of the day, there was an additional tinge of the allure of darkness. However, Jian Ning was in a rush, and did not notice it.
"What's wrong?"
Shang Jin blocked the door as he spoke with a cold and displeased expression.
"Ren Dehua might be planning something, he doesn't have good intentions."
Jian Ning gasped for breath, holding her chest, she said seriously.
That's it? The corner of Shang Jin's mouth raised in disdain, and he vaguely lifted Jian Ning's chin with one hand.
"I knew about this on the first day. You only reacted now?"
However, looking at how eager she seemed to be trying to tell him something, it seemed that she was really worried for him. Shang Jin's mood immediately became better, and he lovingly touched the top of her head.
"What's your reaction?" Jian Ning uncomfortably took a step back, and really couldn't understand Shang Jin's reaction.
Shang Jin was in a good mood as he spread out his hands, and joked: "You're so concerned about me, could it be that you have some ulterior motive towards me?"
"..." At this time, he was still in the mood to joke.
"Alright, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
Jian Ning was startled, she did not understand what Shang Jin meant.
"Why?"
Shang Jin pushed the wheelchair himself as he walked in. Jian Ning followed closely behind as he watched's back uneasily.
"If he doesn't have any ambitions, then he wouldn't be Ren Dehua, it's just that you're too stupid, and got deceived by his appearance."
Jian Ning shook his head in disbelief, as he voiced out the puzzlement in his heart. "He clearly knew that Jian Xingfeng was the one who gave me to you as a plaything, why did he approach me?"
Hearing the two words "plaything", Shang Jin's face sank. It was obvious that his patience was not good.
"He met you at the party, but the rumor was that you and I met before the party. That day, he just wanted to confirm your position in my heart."
Hearing his explanation, Jian Ning suddenly realized what was going on.
Pointing at Shang Jin, he nodded his head repeatedly.
"I can see now that he did it on purpose that day."
"..."
Towards such a slow person, Shang Jin was speechless.
"If there's nothing else, you can go back now. I don't want to see such a stupid person wandering in front of me."
"..."
Jian Ning opened her eyes and glared at him, but under Shang Jin's disdainful gaze, she instantly became aggrieved, and looked at him with tears in her eyes.
skipped past Jian Ning and headed straight for the study room.
"Tsk, petty, there will be a retribution one day."
Only after Shang Jin left far away did she dare to mutter softly.
However, her previous worries had disappeared. She felt her entire body relax as she skipped back to her room.
Shang Jin watched Jian Ning leave through the gap in the door, and could not help but laugh out loud.
This woman.
Song Ge looked at him suspiciously, and then looked at Jian Ning who only had a single back figure, and he didn't know what she had said to Shang Jin just now.
"Tomorrow, the news will have to disappear. I don't want to see it again."
"Yes."
There was a huge change in Song Ge's heart, and his face revealed confusion as well.
Shang Jin smiled gently, rubbed his chin and lazily leaned on the wheelchair.
"This woman is worthy of a better method. Her methods are too child's play."
Suddenly, Song Ge felt a chill, could it be that the boss was going to show his might, that Jian Ning had angered the boss again?
Shang Jin raised his head slightly, seeing Song Ge's face filled with contemplation, he casually swept his gaze over, and did not say anything more.
On the other side, Jian Ning also felt a burst of cold air approaching her, she immediately turned around with her two hands in front of her chest, looking around cautiously, but there was nothing going on.
Back in her room, she took the information that Zhang Zhikun gave her and sat on the side of the bed in a daze.
The contents of the brown paper bag were so thick that her hands were trembling and she didn't have the courage to open them.
Jian Ning took a deep breath, closed her eyes, found an opening, and slowly opened it.
"Mom, please forgive me. I just want to get involved in your past."
When she opened it, she was still muttering to herself.
The moment she opened it, she opened her eyes with extreme nervousness. However, the things within caused him to suck in a breath of cold air.
The black-and-white photo was exactly the same as the one they had when they were married.
One could vaguely see the scene of luxury, champagne, wine, flowers, bustling with excitement.
She depicted Wen Lengyun on it with infatuation, warm tears flowing from her eyes.
"Mommy, were you happy at that time?"
Jian Ning muttered softly, her heart was filled with pain, she held onto her chest, and placed the photo on the bed, quietly staring at it.
The picture on the bed moved, and then it was quiet again.
Jian Ning perked up and took out all the pictures, forcing herself to look through all of them.
She had lost all her strength. She laid listlessly on the bed with her hands covering her face. Her shoulders were slightly twitching.
