Chapter 83: From Hell to Earth, Pushed Down Again

ses. I don't have much money, but I still paid for your medical bills. And you're still relentless, Jian Tong, just tell me, how much money do you want, so that you'll stop talking nonsense"Jian Tong..."Child, you're changed."

Jian Tong's expression faltered slightly: "Meng Jie..."

“Little one, haven't you noticed The expression on your face is no longer stiff and monotonous. Before, all I could see on your face was lifeless woodenness." Su Meng looked at Jian Tong: "But now, you make me feel more like a living person."

Jian Tong opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

"Little one, who made you so alive Was it Kane" Su Meng's face held no blessing for Jian Tong. It instantly turned solemn and she angrily scolded Jian Tong:

But he is not well-intentioned!

So, is this really a good thing

She saw the changes in Jian Tong, but it was a man with impure intentions from the start who approached Jian Tong and caused those changes.

Jian Tong didn't speak.

Su Meng angrily spat out a mouthful of foul air: "Little one, promise Dream Sister, don't see him again, Dream Sister will change your dormitory for you today."

“No!” Jian Tong almost immediately raised her head and shouted, but as soon as she did, she saw Su Meng looking at her with disappointment. She clenched her fists tightly, “Meng Jie, I don’t want to change dormitories. Meng Jie, I promise you, once I raise five million, I won't see this person again.”

Su Meng hated iron for not becoming steel, gritted her teeth and said, "Jian Tong, don't regret it!" She glared at Jian Tong with hatred and growled. Su Meng didn't want to see Jian Tong again, so she raised her foot and strode out of the office.

Alone at her desk, Jian Tong stood there, Su Meng's voice echoing in her ears. A bitter taste filled her mouth... She knew, of course, that Kane wasn't simply being friendly. Though she didn't know why he was approaching her, it was obvious.

But I'm greedy too, and I want to feel that kind of real, visceral sensation. Cain carried a different purpose in her heart. Of course, she knew she should stay away from this dangerous man... But his appearance made her feel like she was still alive, like she was really living.

Those wounds, once unapproachable and unbearable to touch, can now endure the pain of being caressed.That scar, which used to be off-limits even a single touch, has reached a point where it can withstand the pain of being touched.

Then what about that person Couldn't they also gradually fade away from the depths of her heart, regardless of love or hate... Couldn't they, like the scar on her forehead, become something that no longer held any weight

Cain… she knew this man was poison, but even as poison, she had consumed him. Not out of love or fondness, but because… she had been living in a hell without sunlight for too long. She had grown accustomed to the darkness. And her heart, it started to greedily desire what it was like to live under the sun, just like an ordinary person.

She knew, lately, she was becoming more like a living person than a walking corpse. She knew this change all started with Cain appearing at her dorm door every night and the kiss on her temple as he left.

The deadline agreed upon by Kain and Shen Xiujin was approaching. On the second-to-last day, as Kain was preparing to leave as usual, a gruff voice stopped him: "Wait a minute."

"Um Is there anything else"

He turned to look at the silent woman behind him. Although she didn't say a word, the weight of her thoughts from these past two days was etched on her face. He didn't ask, knowing she would open up when she was ready.

"I..." Jian Tong stood before Kane, her palm slick with sweat. The clammy feeling made her even more nervous.

"What is it Miss Jian, it's okay, just tell me. I'm listening."

The man before her was sufficiently gentlemanly, sufficiently elegant, but Jian Tong at this moment, standing before him, opened her mouth, yet couldn't utter the words that had been swirling in her mind for so long.

"Miss Jian, if there's nothing else, I'm tired today and will take my leave."

Kane was about to turn away.

As he tightened his sleeves, he looked down. A hand was clutching at his sleeve. Cain followed the hand upwards, and suddenly!

His eyelids twitched slightly.

The woman before him, one hand gripping his sleeve, the other pushing back her bangs to reveal the vicious scar. She turned her head away, saying nothing at all.

But actually, she has already expressed her meaning.

Kane's hazel eyes narrowed slightly, then after a long pause, his thin lips parted softly, "What do you want"

A low voice, slow and asking.

Jane's face, illuminated by the dormitory lights, was somewhat pale. She still didn't look at Kane directly, turning her head away, she just used one hand to rake her hair back from her forehead, exposing the grotesque scar on her brow clearly in Kane's sight:

$500,000, Mr. Kane... I want it, advanced from tomorrow's disbursement.

Kane understood. This woman was using tomorrow's kiss to exchange for an advance of half a million dollars.

Suddenly, Cain laughed: “Game over, Miss Jian. You are…worthless.”

When she abandoned her stubbornness and yielded to him, when she proactively softened, "The most valuable thing about you is these scars that can't be touched, the most alluring thing is also this. But now you use them to make money, they can no longer attract me. So, Miss Jian, I originally thought you were a very interesting woman, it turns out, you are just like everyone else," Cain's stunning face flashed with sarcasm: "Too common."

Kane didn't even say goodbye, he just vanished from Jian Tong's sight.

While Jian Tong wasn't deeply disheartened by this setback.

She just stood silently at the doorstep. The cold wind in the hallway blew on her face, but she seemed to feel nothing... Toward Kane, she had no love, not even... She could ask Kane for money by selling herself, but she couldn't ask Xiao Heng.

It's just... Jian Tong touched her forehead, suddenly feeling a mixture of amusement and absurdity. The most valuable thing she possessed was still that which he had given her.

She glanced again at the empty corridor, then suddenly let out a soft laugh, speaking to herself: "Even if it were poison, I would drink it, because it would allow me to feel for a moment that I was still living in the sunshine."

Gian was grateful to Caine, who pulled her from hell and into the human world. Later, he pushed her back down into hell.

She said, it's okay.

It was her greed that led to this. She knew she could only live in hell for the rest of her life, yet she still dreamed of living under the sun.

Keane was the poison, yet she relished it. Was she too greedy, too desperate for that which belonged to the living, for the blood and tears she had been denied for three long years

So....

"You deserve this, Jian Tong," she said to herself. A reformed criminal would always bear that mark. Look, forgetting one's duty, coveting what isn't theirs, there will never be a good ending... Why couldn't she ever learn!

Just...

"Money, oh money, it's so hard to come by..."

Tomorrow, Shen Xiujin will come to find her, right

Kane left, feeling a bit bored.

"Kean, I want to change targets," and as always after every hunt, Kean told his friend Lu Chen.cted her affairs in an official manner and did not conceal anything.What did she do this timeThis question was a bit strange, but Su Meng understood Shen Xiujin's implication. President Shen was askin...
