d with interest, along with a hint of the blood-red excitement of a hunt gone too far.A slight upturn of his lips told those familiar with him that he was undoubtedly in high spirits.Anyone who has se...In the morning, he left. And Jian Tong, though she was in her prime, had lived like an old woman of seventy or eighty.

On a sunny winter day, she laid out a lounge chair, a blanket, and a hot water bottle to warm her hands and feet. She sat on the porch and basked in the sun.

Have become a person like a withered tree.

The mansion got a new housekeeper. The new housekeeper was serious, just like Xia Guanjia. Early in the morning, one could hear the new housekeeper and Xia Guanjia exchanging duties.

All of them had spent most of their lives as butlers. They were meticulous in everything they did, leaving no room for criticism. However, beneath the surface calm, there was a hidden competition.

Faint whispers of conversation drifted from the direction of the two caretakers, one old and one new.

Few words, but not simple.

Jian Tong just stared straight ahead. As for whether the handover was successful, Jian Tong didn't care.

And who knows what kind of silent, unspoken exchange was happening between you two.

A rustling sound came from behind her. She glanced sideways and saw a familiar figure, slowly getting up from the reclining chair. She opened her mouth lightly: "Xia Butler, come with me."

A gruff, understated voice successfully halted Xia's housekeeper. Turning, a flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes, but he hardened his resolve and followed the woman walking slowly ahead.

She walked to a secluded spot and stopped at a corner. Summer Butler easily followed this lame woman, step by step. Perhaps it was the resentment in his heart, or perhaps curiosity about what she wanted to say to her creditor, he kept close behind.

In short, Xia Guanjia followed silently. When she stopped at a corner, Xia Guanjia stood there with her.

"What do you want to do" Xia Guanjia looked at Jian Tong with suspicious eyes, his face full of hostility and apprehension.

Jian Tong, upon seeing this, let out a gentle smile... This person, was there any need to be afraid of her, a cripple, doing him harm

There is a sense of absurd mockery that is unparalleled.

“Why are you laughing” Her laughter, for some reason, irritated Summer Butler. Summer Butler blushed with anger: “Do you think you’ve won Do you think you’ve replaced Wei Ming So you laugh gleefully in front of me Jian Tong, you’re nothing but a substitute for Wei Ming!”

His face contorted in rage, and he remembered what had happened in the grove of trees behind the rose garden yesterday… It had only been four years since Wei Ming had passed away!

Xia Guanjia said those words, a pair of old eyes staring intently at the woman's face, wanting to see pain, heartache, from this face. But the woman before him seemed to ignore his words completely, reaching out with a hand as if it were nothing: "Give it to me."

"What" Summer Butler was puzzled.

With a slight chuckle, she raised her eyes to glance at Xia the Butler, her dry lips moving slightly: "Something in your pocket."

Xia Guanjia suddenly widened his eyes, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Facing the nervous Xia Guanjia, Jian Tong gently shook her head: "Give it to me. I know you wanted to throw it into my rice bowl while everyone was distracted this morning." She said calmly, "I saw it with my own eyes."

Xia Guanshi's cheeks twitched constantly, his eyes bulged and glared at her fiercely, he snarled:

"You want to make a complaint You want to tell the master Go ahead, sue me! Anyway, you already killed Wei Ming, and the master didn't do anything to you. If you hurt me too, the master won't do anything to you either! Go ahead and complain! I'm not afraid of you!"

A heart long numbed by indifference stirred slightly at Summer Butler's words. But the feeling was fleeting, quickly replaced once more by its familiar numbness and apathy.

She merely raised an eyebrow, casting a meaningful glance over Butler Xia's face, etched with resentment. She... said nothing at all.

At this point, she could still distract herself by thinking: how was Shen Xiujing going to treat her, Jian Tong What made the old man think that Shen Xiujing had "taken something from her"

Original, three years in prison, and scars all over his body, crippled legs, and an incomplete body... as well as a heart that had fallen into hell and the dead silence of oblivion, it turned out that all this was called "not doing anything to her" in his old eyes!

She glanced again at the old butler's sinister face, her heart aching with a sense of injustice as she was completely ignored... She didn't argue with Butler Xia because she knew she couldn't win. And even if she did, what good would it do

Could time possibly break its own rules just because she won, and rewind for her

She lightly pursed her lips and extended her hand towards the old butler again. “You don’t want me to be carrying his child, just like you, I don’t want it either.” She said, “Bring the things over.”

Summer the Butler was startled, "I don't believe it!"

"Believe it or not. But when the new butler gets everything in this manor running smoothly, once he's got his hands on everything, you won't find an opportunity to strike."

"You really don't want to bear a child for the Shen family I don't believe it! How is it possible that there would be a woman who wouldn't want to give birth to a Shen child!"

At the very least, he knew Wei Ming would never refuse.

Wei Ming wouldn't refuse, why would this woman refuse

More noble than Wei Ming More aloof than Wei Ming

Wei Ming couldn't refuse, how could this scoundrel refuse

Jian Tong let out another light chuckle, she stopped speaking, turned and left. She walked with a limp, one foot deep and the other shallow, moving very slowly, but her back was incredibly dashing.

Summer Butler's grayish-yellow eyes flickered, "Wait a minute!"

Two steps caught up, a small bag of oiled paper in his hand, handed it to Jane Tong: "I don't believe you!" he said fiercely as he gave it.

Jian Tong didn't say a word. She opened the oiled paper, revealing a white pill inside, the size of a soybean. She shoved it into her mouth without even taking a sip of water, letting it dissolve little by little on her tongue. The bitterness filled her mouth... But no matter how bitter, it was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.

The oiled paper fell to the ground. She walked forward, saying as she went, "In the future...prepare more."

Summer Butler stood there like a statue, unable to speak for what felt like forever. She couldn't believe it, she...she...she actually took the emergency contraceptive pill right in front of her!

At this moment, Xia Guanjia unexpectedly had an idea in his heart: Wei Ming was not as good as her. She didn't care about wealth, honor, status, or position.

The moment the idea came up, Summer Butler was furious!

"Okay, okay! I'll make extra for you! Definitely extra!" It's so good, it might prevent you from having kids anymore!

The new steward's last name was Wang. Jian Tong walked towards the eaves of the corridor, and Steward Wang walked straight up to her with a thick coat in his hand. "Madam, where are you going"

As he spoke, he draped the large cloak hanging from his wrist over Jian Tong's shoulders: "Master is concerned for you and specifically instructed me to ensure your warmth."

She smiled, but there was no spirit in it: "I'm tired, I'm going upstairs to rest."

"What would madam like to eat at noon"

"You guys eat first, I want to rest. At noon, don't bother me."

Jian Tong went upstairs, but Wang, the housekeeper, took out his phone and called the new master to report: "Madam seems very tired and didn't allow us to disturb her at lunchtime. She also had no appetite for lunch."

"Mm, I understand. You've done well." A low voice came from the phone, "Just make something light and nourishing for lunch. As for your wife, she'll eat it."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the two people in his office: "Don't you have anything else to do"

Bai Yu walked with his hands in his pockets, "I have the whole day off. I have plenty of time."

Xi Chen crossed her legs: "Let's get together at noon."

Shen Xiujin's black eyes flashed with a fleeting light, and he gave a sly smile: "Alright."

It's almost noon.

Two roars echoed from the CEO's office of Shen's Building:

"Shen Xiujin! You beast!"

Xi Chen's chest heaved as he stared at the pile of files on his desk. Bai Yu xing held a post-it note in his hand, which read: "So idle, sort out the files on your desk and let me know after you've finished reading them."

"Beast!"

Bai Yuxing ripped the note in his hand to shreds and threw it in the trash: "Damn Shen Xiujin, he ran off!"i Chen chuckled softly, "What is it, Yu Xing Are you hoping he goes to the Donghuang to do something"Bai Yu walked over and gave Xi Chen a glance. "There are plenty of stories here, Xi Chen. You haven...
