ed leg. The elevator was going down, and with a "ding", the door opened at the basement level.She didn't go back to the office. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she limped hurriedly out of...Jian Tong had mentally prepared herself, perhaps Ding Nuan would make unreasonable demands, or maybe she'd ask Jian Tong to persuade Mrs. Jian to be more reserved. But what she hadn't expected was that Ding Nuan had this idea!

She didn't speak, but Ding Nuan became anxious, hurriedly clarifying to Jian Tong: "I don't want anything, really, I just hope Xiao Ou can appear in public openly..." 。

I don't want a single cent of the Jian family's money. 。As long as Xiaoou can find his biological family, that's more important than anything else. 。Jian Tong listened as Ding Nuann'ing said sincerely, “Mrs. Shen, just understand a mother’s selfish desires.” 。For a moment, there were no words to be said. 。Even Shen Xiujin beside him was very surprised. 。After hearing Ding Nuan's plea, he gave her a long, hard look. 。He cast a quick glance at the woman in his arms, her face emotionless. He knew she had already thought of everything he could have. 。

Now Jian is already in the hands of the children. Jian Zhendong is just living his retirement, letting Jian Shiou return to the Jian family to acknowledge his ancestors and return to his roots. This isn't just a matter of appearances. Once the Jian family officially acknowledges Jian Shiou as a member of the Jian family, then, in the future, entering the Jian family will be perfectly legitimate. 。Needless to say, as a member of the Jian family, being able to gain human connections in this circle is an advantage. Even if others don't consider Jian Shiou's face, they will give it some thought for the sake of the Jian family. Xiao Tong being his wife Shen Xiuqin gives Jian Shiou even more leverage; he can use this connection to receive many conveniences in the future. 。Not to mention, as long as he had the legitimate identity of a descendant of the Jian family, in the future, Jian Shiou would be able to rightfully claim a share of the Jian family's wealth. 。If this child is ambitious and wants to seize control of the Jian family, then in future family struggles, this child will have the Jian descendants as a smokescreen to hide their true intentions. 。

He took another deep look at Ding Nuan. This woman, she wasn't like she appeared on the surface, a delicate flower. She was much more cunning than that. 。Ding Nuan looked at Jian Tong's expressionless face, feeling a bit of fear in her heart. She lowered her head nervously and said in a dry voice: "Madam Shen, we, mother and son, don't want anything from the Jian family. Although I did wrong, please have mercy on me. I am also a mother. I only want my child to stand upright in front of people, not be called a bastard, and live with dignity. 。"Please... agree to my request!"

Jian Tong looked at Ding Nuan, but her thoughts had already flown far away. 。She thought a lot. 。Thinking back to the past, thinking about childhood, and even remembering Xia Wei Ming, whom I haven't thought about for ages. 。She thought about the teachings her grandfather had given her when she was a child. No matter how kind her grandfather was to her, whenever she became conceited, he would pour a basin of cold water on her, sternly reminding her: "You have an older brother; there is only one male in the Jian family." 。At first, she didn't understand. But after learning and seeing and hearing more, she came to understand. Once she understood, she no longer dared to be arrogant and complacent. Later on, she almost never mentioned Jian Shi Group again. 。

When her grandfather took her to meet a queen from another country, she understood that her grandfather expected her to always be glamorous and outstanding, shining brightly wherever she went, just like that queen. 。But that queen's elegance and demeanor were, in fact, maintained without ever touching on local politics. 。>> 。

She suddenly felt like crying, her heart aching with emptiness. 。But she dared not cry, for if she did, she truly wouldn't be able to continue deceiving herself. 。

Once she cried, she had to admit—for all these decades of her life, she, Jian Tong, hadn't been loved unconditionally by anyone, not even once. 。Slowly, Jian Tong's pale lips parted slightly, pulling into a faint smile—Grandpa loved her. 。Yes, yes. 。"Do you want your son to return to the family" She chuckled softly, her expression falling on Ding Nuan's face was inexplicably strange. Ding Nuan didn't know why, but under that gaze, she shivered slightly. But disregarding everything else, she nodded hurriedly: "I, I hope Xiao Ou can return to the Jian family. Only then can Xiao Ou stand tall in front of people" 。"You know..." Jian Tong's eyes were unruffled, staring at Ding Nuan's face. Her expression was strange and indescribable. She spoke very slowly: "What would happen to you if my grandfather were still alive" of the blue, the man suddenly spoke.While Jian Tong was taken aback, she looked at the air in front of her. For a moment, she felt like she had hallucinated.However, the hand behind her was resting o...
