Chapter 58: Hidden Pain

h me Aren't you afraid I'll sell you" Jian Tong smiled, "Mengjie, I'm not worth much..." 。“ She said in that soft, gentle way that she wasn’t worth much, which made Su Meng, who was leading the way...The slender fingers touched the scar.

The feeling of fingertips pressed against it, rough and uneven.

When he first touched the scar, Shen Xiujin's fingertips felt as if they had been burned.

"With a body missing parts like that, Shen Xiujin, honestly, how could you bear to do it" Bai Yuxing said half-seriously and half-jokingly before the call ended.

On the phone, the man seemed not to be listening to Bai Yu's words at all. His thumb rubbed gently over the rough scar. Suddenly, he made a strange movement, covering the entire scar with his palm.

He stared intently at his own hands, as if studying something deeply.

Bai Yu Xing's call remained connected. Bai Yu Xing listened to the silence on the other end of the line. It was incredibly quiet, as if the person on the other end had forgotten to hang up.

However, Bai Yuxing didn't hang up the phone proactively. He picked up a cigarette from his bedside table, "crackle," lit it, and savored the taste of nicotine. At this moment, the man on the other end of the phone suddenly said out of the blue: "Longer than my palm."

"What" Bai Yu walked was taken aback, but after three seconds, he reacted, "Oh, you're talking about the scar on her waist" After all these years of friendship, he could guess what Shen Xiuqin meant just like that.

"Longer than your palm, huh" Bai Yuxing took a heavy drag of his cigarette, exhaling a cloud of white mist after.

"Well, that means the doctor who operated on her initially was very unskilled, terribly so...." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Well, let me put it this way, when I was in medical school, the first time I practiced removing a kidney on a specimen pulled out of formaldehyde... the incision wasn't that long.

What does this mean

"This means, very likely... no, definitely, the doctor who operated on her, maybe, doesn't even have a medical license. You know Black Knives That kind."

Black Knives, a group of people without medical licenses.

"Take a picture of her scar," Bai Yuxing said again.

Shen Xiujin hesitated for a moment, but Bai Yuxing said: “I just want to take a look at her scar. At least I can see something you can’t, some real things that are hidden. Want to know”

Bai Yu xing let out a mouthful of white mist: "If you want to know, take a picture."

To be honest, he didn't think he could persuade Shen Xiujin. Shen Xiujin was solitary and cold. At least throughout his life, he hadn't seen Shen Xiujin yield for any reason. Apart from Xia Wei'ming, he really hadn't seen Shen Xiujin care about anyone else.

Oh… In fact, even if it was Xia Wei Ming, Bai Yu Xing didn't think she really cared. At most, he just included Xia Wei Ming in his own circle.

But Bai Yu didn't think it was Shen Xiuqin's fault. These people rarely truly cared about a woman. To include a woman in their circle was already a form of recognition.

"Wait." Bai YuXing hadn't actually expected Shen XiuJin to really send him a photo. He had just casually mentioned it, but before he could laugh and move on from the topic, the person on the other end of the phone suddenly said those two words.

"Hiss～" Bai Yu's hand holding the cigarette dropped, burning his other arm resting on his thigh. The sudden burn was so painful that Bai Yu gasped.

Damn it, scalded! "Wait a minute, what did you say"

As soon as the words left my mouth, a notification for an unread text message suddenly rang from my phone. "Uh..." Could it be that Shen Xiujing really took a picture and sent it over

He hurriedly reached out and opened it... It was really a photo of a scar, truly "just" a scar photo — a ferocious scar, the photo showed nothing else!

Looking at the photo, Bai Yu realized something strange — he felt that Shen Xiujin didn't want him to see more than just a sliver of Jian Tong's exposed skin.

After studying the high-definition photo of the scar several times, he was even more certain.

"Did you finish watching it Did you see it clearly" Suddenly, Shen Xiujin's voice on the phone wasn't very happy. Bai Yuxing coughed twice and hurriedly said, "I finished watching it, I saw it clearly."

"What did you see"

“I can tell the surgeon who operated on her was using a black knife. They sutured it three times, and it’s crooked. They didn’t even hire a doctor with a medical license. Saving money like this makes me strongly suspect that these people don't use anesthesia when they operate.”

Shen Xiujin's jaw tightened, Bai Yuxing's words involuntarily conjuring a dark scene in his mind: a struggling woman pinned to an operating table... His heart suddenly contracted violently!

"Who is it..."

"Don't you already know who it is" Bai Yu walked straight to the point, interrupting Shen Xiujin. "You can't blame them. Don't you know that your attitude towards Jian Tong and the intentions you showed have determined the poor woman's situation these past three years"

Bai Yu xing was deliberately being sarcastic today, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, the scar you see today might only be the tip of the iceberg in Jian Tong's three-year prison sentence,"

When she was still Miss Jian, you didn't know what she had gone through. She was locked up in that place where there was no sunlight, and you wouldn't even know what happened to her during these three years. You have no idea how she spent these three years.

When these words left his mouth, Bai Yu Xing himself was taken aback. Suddenly, he understood how that once arrogant and confident Jian Tong had become the timid figure he saw before him. Suddenly, he felt a sense of understanding.

Then I thought about how, earlier today in front of Jian Tong, I had said all those things expressing my disappointment and blaming her for changing. Now that I think about it, I was just talking from a position of comfort and didn't really understand what she was going through.

Shaking my head: "When I took her to the doctor before, it wasn't serious. I don't know what caused it, she suddenly fainted again."

But I suggest you take her to the hospital now. Drowning, fever, fainting, these things happening one after another... Don't even mention her sickly weak body; even a healthy person couldn't handle this kind of back-to-back torment.

"Take her to the hospital. Her body needs a good rest."

"Okay, I'll drive her to the hospital now."

"Okay, then I'll head to the hospital now."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xiujin went quiet.

Shen Xiujin stood by the bed, looking at the woman on it. In his mind echoed Bai Yuxing's words: "Don't you know, your attitude towards Jian Tong, your expressed willingness, decided Jian Tong's situation for these three years"

Is that so

He knew full well: that's how it was.

But he never expected that one day, he would see such a hideous and grotesque scar on her body, making him want to kill.

Unable to make sense of this jumbled mess of emotions, Shen Xiujin bent down and helped the woman on the bed straighten her clothes. Turning around, he rummaged through the closet for a large woolen coat and wrapped it tightly around her. Only then did he realize that the person who usually appeared slightly plump was actually so thin underneath.

He bent down, holding her in his arms. When Jian Tong was conscious, he always carried her; only when she was unaware could she receive the princess carry that every woman craved.

The elevator arrived at the first floor with a ding, and the doors opened.

A strikingly handsome and tall man, holding a petite figure in his arms, walked through the opulent hall of Donghuang. He passed under layers of curious, inquisitive, envious, and jealous gazes, his long legs taking him out the door.tly, his body trembling imperceptibly. His dim eyes flickered once before disappearing again. He replied in a stoic tone:"The master was talking about Miss Jian, wasn't he" Xia Guanjia picked up the g...
