Chapter 235: Attacking the Heart is Paramount

eighteen years ago.His eyes revealed a heart flutter he hadn't noticed before. Jian Tong felt increasingly uncomfortable under those scorching gazes. He waved his hand dismissively: "Let's go."……The c...Lu Mingchu's eyes turned cold, "Am I looking for death Why am I 'looking for death'"

Because I took something you wanted

"Hahaha... you're still the same, haven't changed at all. How many years have passed You're still stubborn, still prejudiced, still selfish!"

Every word he uttered carried an endless chill. Clearly, he had a face that bore a resemblance to the person across from him, with similar features and eye contours, long and cold. His brows were arched high, almost reaching his temples, and his dark eyebrows were as thick as midnight. He… looked so familiar!

But, Lu Mingchu regarded the person opposite him as the greatest evil. If words could hurt people, he would have wanted to cut Shen Xiujin a thousand times and ten thousand times, making him a human pig!

Unexpectedly, Shen Xiujin was not enraged. His calm eyes looked over, "Stubborn, yes. Fanatical, yes. Selfish, yes." His thin lips pressed down fiercely, and he sneered back, "But, what does it have to do with you!"

His words were forceful, domineering, just like him!

Never admit defeat, never bow your head. From the beginning, you have always been an emperor, looking down on everyone.

Even though, facing him, the other person had a face that was strikingly similar to his!

Lu Ming's hand, which was hanging by his side, clenched tightly!

With eyes that seemed to spew flames, he raged, he fumed, and said:

"The way you treated her, the way you treated that woman, when she loved you, you didn't cherish it, you took her for granted. You didn't ask questions, you just sent her to prison!"

Do you really not know

Don't you truly know, in that place, it grinds a person's humanity away

She got out of prison. She doesn't want to see you. She put aside her dignity, and she's doing the kind of work a former lady wouldn't even touch - cleaning!

Don't you truly understand, she just wants to draw a line between herself and the past, and from before, and that foolish child who used to love you

You disregarded her wishes, you humiliated her, in front of the cleaning lady she was and that last shred of dignity she held onto... No! You wouldn't want to, would you Who are you

You're talking about the resolute Shen Xiujin!

You are the head of the Shen family, the one who can change a person's life trajectory with a single decision or word!

No one has ever been able to defy you, how could she

She's a reformed criminal, a woman you used to look down on, a woman who, in your eyes, was sentenced to death long ago!

She — Jian Tong!

How can I disobey you!

Hello!

You don't want her to refuse to submit to you completely.

You exhausted all means, forcing her into complete submission.

What about it then

In the end, you successfully extinguished her last shred of dignity.

Thank goodness!

He couldn't stand it anymore!

Finally, she managed to escape.

Lu Mingchu's speech sped up, the sarcasm in his eyes growing increasingly mocking: "Shen Xiujin, congratulations to you, you successfully drove away the woman who once loved you most in this world! Congratulations, congratulations~ I must give you a big gift another day."

The sarcasm in the words, it's impossible to hide.

Xi Chen originally wasn't prepared to get involved. He remained silent, hiding in the dim corner of the hall, leaning against the wall, quietly watching everything—this was Shen Xiu Jin's own business. The only help he could offer was to help Shen Xiu Jin find the person he loved. As for the rest, it was best if he stayed out of it.

But, at this moment, Xi Chen's body, which had been relaxed, instantly tensed up. The usually carefree peach blossom eyes were now filled with a rare coldness. He rushed forward in one swift stride. His movements were too fast, too quick. Zhao only saw a figure rush past, and in the blink of an eye, that figure stood behind Mr. Shen.

Xi Chen took a step forward, silently reaching out to help his friend in front of him.

Suddenly raising his head, his peach blossom eyes, like blades, shot towards Lu Mingchu:

"Everyone knows Lu is a master of intrigue. Today, Xi has learned a lesson."

Unprepared for the attack, the blade pierces the heart!

Lu Mingchu! You are indeed not an ordinary person!

As usual, with his strong willpower, Ashu wouldn't have been swayed by Lu Mingchu's intentionally provocative words.

But... Xi Chen carefully glanced at the man in front of him, a fleeting worry flashing in his eyes... Ashu, it's been a long time since he had a good rest. Over the past three years, he has become a workaholic, almost squeezing a week's worth of work into three days. It's understandable if it happened a few times, but for the past three years, Ashu has been like this... Just to free up four days a week, he ran all over the place, searching for a shadow that was completely silent.

After coming to the ancient city of Dali, I haven't slept for several days.

Now, he finally found the person he had been longing for, the one he had thought about for three years. But the woman he had yearned for for three years was flirting with another man right in front of him, showering him with affection...That man was still Lu Mingchu!

Even an iron person can't stand it!

Xi Chen narrowed his eyes, gazing at Lu Mingchu across from him... This man was brave and cunning, with a mind incredibly complex. Not to mention, this was exactly what he had expected all along!

Xi Chen supported Shen Xiu Jin, the man in front of him turned his head and looked at him, shaking his head.

But those bloodless lips couldn't convince Xi Chen—this man, as he himself said, was "fine".

Glancing down at Shen Xiujin's feet, the two feet were staggered half a step apart... If it hadn't been for his timely support just now, would Ah Xiu still be able to pretend here

Although she didn't believe it, she still let go of the arm of the person in front of her. She just stood behind Shen Xiujin, her cold gaze locked on Lu Mingchu opposite her.

"What kind of schemes, both yang and yin, did Xi Da Shao come up with Lu Mingchu wouldn't resort to those things. "

Before, when I heard others say this, my heart was filled with kindness, and I saw goodness in everyone.

His heart was filled with malice; he saw evil in everyone.

Xi Chen's face changed. This was veiled criticism, too obvious. He was about to retort sarcastically when a voice cut in:

"So, you claim to be good" Shen Xiujin glanced at him lightly. Though he didn't show mockery on his face, there was a hint of sarcasm in his words: "A good person would do such things like stealing chickens and dogs"

He said, “Lu Mingchu, if you are kind, then it is also hypocrisy.”

Lu Mingchu suddenly shot Shen Xiujin a murderous glare:

"Shen Xiujin, after so many years, you haven't changed at all! "

"Do you know why you've ended up like this"

Lu Ming chuckled coldly: "Because you are selfish! Just like that woman from back then!"

All these years, I thought you'd change. Seems I overestimated you.

After all, you were born from that selfish and self-serving woman. You still carry the blood of that selfish and self-serving woman!

As soon as these words were spoken, Xi Chen's face changed color first!

Scoffed, "Lu Mingchu! Shut your mouth!"

Before Xi Chen could finish his sentence, a gust of wind swept past him!

His heart skipped a beat, he reached out quickly, but still couldn't grab that person!

"Lu Mingchu! You're courting death! I'll grant your wish!" A chilling voice roared.elicate 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: "...
