Chapter 309 Perfect. Finally, he's gone

ust let her go," Bai Yuxing said, seeing Shen Xiujin remain silent. He added.To his surprise, upon merely suggesting this, Shen Xiujin's attitude became highly suspicious. He immediately changed his...Ignoring the dejected expression of the person beside her, Jian Tong washed up briefly, grabbed her bag, and left.

Vivian had been busy at the company all day. She arrived at the office early with the contract she had made with Damon, but when it was lunchtime, she found that the woman was still working hard in the CEO's office.

She thought it was only because of her collaboration with Damon that the woman had been overly invested, busy with work until the afternoon when she learned from the secretary department that Jian Tong had asked the secretary department to take all the documents, big and small, from the company recently, to her.

Vivian felt something was off. The CEO's office door was slightly ajar. She went to knock, but the moment her hand touched it, the door swung open. That's when Vivian realized that woman had dedicated every ounce of her energy to work.

"Jian Zong," she pushed the door open and strode in, a hint of anger in her voice: "This isn't right. I know Jian Shi has many problems, but didn't we already get the contract from DeMen Can't you relax a little"

"Not Damon." The woman, busy with her work, signed the documents in her hand without raising her head and responded faintly.

"Not Dermot" Vivienne frowned. "Not Dermot, what are you doing"

"Alright, Vivian, you're dismissed."

That woman still hadn't looked up as she spoke.

Looking at the woman wholeheartedly dedicated to her work, Vivian felt a mixture of anger and heartache. She slammed her palm down on the desk, "I heard from downstairs that you haven't even eaten your lunch."

"I'm not hungry. I'm going out."

The woman said coldly.

Vivian was taken aback. Since following this woman, she had never been treated like this before.

"Man is iron and rice..."

"Get out." The woman said again in a hushed tone, only then lifting her head from a pile of files to glance at Vivian across from her.

"What happened"

Vivian pondered for a moment, finding something amiss. When had this woman ever treated her like this "Little one, I can go out, and I understand you're busy with work, but at least spare some time to eat a meal."

"I said, I'm not hungry."

Vivian frowned: “If you don’t eat, I can’t explain it.”

Vivian, exasperated by Jian Tong's obstinate attitude, suddenly blurted out.

"An explanation" Jian Tong raised an eyebrow. "What kind of explanation To whom What explanation is needed"

Vivian only then realized she had let it slip, but a quick retort was in order. Since things had progressed to this point anyway... and besides, she didn't feel the need to keep secrets for anyone.

“Before Mr. Shen went to Italy, he asked me to personally supervise your daily meals and make sure you eat on time and at designated places. Although he’s not doing well now, since I promised him, I have to take responsibility for making sure you eat on time and at designated places.”

Jane was already feeling flustered, and hearing that person's name again only made her more agitated. "Am I your boss or is he Vivian, remember your place."

As soon as she finished speaking, her own face turned pale. She realized that her words had been too harsh.

"... Jian Tong"

"Go out."

"Did something happen" Deep down, she still understood this woman.

"You told me, maybe I…"

Jian Tong suddenly slammed her fist on the table and stood up. She understood Vivian's intentions, that Vivian was trying to help her, but at this moment, she couldn't bear the constant nagging: "Get out."

She stood up, went around the desk, and grabbed Vivian's arm, pulling her toward the door.

"Don't do this," Vivian said, "There's nothing that can't be solved. Is it Shen Xiujin Tell me, maybe I can..."

“You can’t!” Those comforting words could only make her more agitated now. Jian Tong only felt a buzzing in her ears, and those concerned voices became arrows, piercing her one by one. She finally couldn't bear it anymore and raised her voice, shouting.

She didn't want to hurt Vivian, but she didn't want to hear Vivian mention that person's name again.

She just... wanted Vivian to be quiet, wanted peace and quiet, wanted a pure environment.

“It’s Shen Xiujin… right…”

Jian Tong suddenly slumped her shoulders, clutching Vivian's sleeve tightly with both hands, her head drooping dejectedly. She suppressed her voice and whispered, "Vivian, please just let me be quiet... okay"

Though he spoke softly, his words couldn't hide the plea within them.

Vivian was stunned, suddenly coming to her senses. She wished she could slap herself twice! Look at you, usually so astute, how could you be so foolish now!

Looking at the woman's dejected expression, Vivian opened her mouth but said nothing. She turned and pulled open the office door, leaving.

In the office, the woman did not return to her workstation to resume her work with full dedication. She stood there motionless, her face as pale as paper.

She stood there so quietly, like a petrified pillar. After about a quarter of an hour, from outside the office, just beyond the door, a light clatter was heard as a meal was set down.

Knock knock

A faint knock sounded, and the person outside didn't say much, just silently reminding: "It's time for dinner."

Then there was silence again.

Inside the door, the woman stood for a long time. She didn't know how long it had been before she raised her hand, pulled open the door, and bent down to pick up the meal left at the threshold.

Whispering to the empty air, "Vivian, thank you."

But no one heard.

He walked to the back of his desk and opened his lunchbox. He ate slowly, bite by bite, but couldn't taste anything. Even the most flavorful food tasted bland and tasteless.

Time flew by, and the sky outside darkened.

She glanced at the time; it was almost quitting time, yet she couldn't bring herself to go back to that house.

Xi Chen didn't call her all day. She thought about the threatening words she had said this morning, they must have worked, they were afraid too.

After finishing all the files on the desk, finally, there was no more reason to dawdle and delay going back.

left the company quietly.

The car drove into the underground parking garage, she slowly rode the elevator, reaching her floor, standing outside her own door, gazing at the closed door in front of her with a complex expression.

Slowly reaching out, I gently placed my hand on my own left chest. Through the fabric of my clothes, I could clearly feel the frantic beating of my heart.

She opened the door, a room plunged in darkness, she let out a sigh of relief... it seemed Xichen had taken the person away.

The next moment, a sudden wave of sadness washed over me again.

She quickly stopped herself from feeling that way.

I flipped the light switch, and warm light filled the living room.

She looked into the living room, there was no one on the sofa... That person used to love to curl up on the sofa.

Dropped the backpack and slowly walked to the bedroom. Turned on the bedroom light, but the bed was empty.

Turning, she slowly walked out of the bedroom and around to the balcony.

On the balcony, there stood a lonely telescope.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The material was icy cold, without a trace of warmth.

She wanted to seek out the rhythm of her heart at this moment, but she found herself bewildered and hazy.

As she walked past the living room again, passing by the bar counter, she suddenly stopped. There was a table set with food, quietly standing before the bar counter. She stared at it for a long time, then reached out and touched the edge of a bowl... It was cold, devoid of even a trace of last night's warmth.

Yes... he's gone, how could anyone still bring her hot food.

That's right... he's gone!

"Good, finally gone," she said.

But he picked up the chopsticks and ate the cold food, bite by bite.

The living room's, the bedroom's, the bathroom's, the balcony's... She turned on all the lights in the house, warm light, spilling over every corner of this vast house.

But she, frowned... always felt that something was missing.d Master Shen and Old Master Jian, should best be buried with the two old masters in the ground.As for her, she'd rather not speak of it.The third day after surgeryIn the intensive care unit, the man...
