Jiang Zhi suddenly paused, her eyes fell on her wrist. The light in the car was bright, and the beads on her hand seemed to be naturally formed.

As if it belonged to her naturally.

"Do you know the origin of this string of beads?"

Jiang Zhi raised her eyes. The old lady in front of her was not dressed elegantly. She was just wearing a new Chinese style long gown and trousers. She had an intimacy that made people want to get closer.

"This string of beads is a family heirloom passed down from the Shang family's ancestors. It's priceless and a symbol of the Shang family's status. Wearing it represents the Shang family's supreme power and glory, and it signifies the fate of the Shang family's heir. For generations, no one has ever given this string of beads away. You are the first..."

But Shang Yanjing gave her this bracelet on the night they met. He said that night that it was just an ordinary string of beads and not valuable.

Her eyes darkened, and suddenly, she felt her wrist burning hot.

It turns out that he loves Jiang Zhi so much that he can even give up these things.

In an instant, for some unknown reason, Jiang Zhi felt a strange feeling in her mind, and there was a fire in her chest, which made it difficult for her to breathe.

The old lady saw Jiang Zhi's pale face and said, "Why? You don't know? I thought he could even give you his life. I should have told you all this long ago."

"What do you mean?" She pulled her bag, feeling uneasy for a moment.

"You didn't know that he rushed into the fire to save you?"

At this moment, Jiang Zhi could not hear any sound.

She thought of the suffocating feeling that day and the familiar warm embrace that she shouldn't have admitted to.

After all, three months is enough time for people to get to know a person clearly.

Jiang Zhi lowered his eyes, and for a moment, he just stood there frozen, without any reaction for a long time.

"I'm not unreasonable. At first, I did think someone like you wasn't worthy of her, so I put a lot of thought into you and wanted to drive you away from him. But I've never seen Ah Yan risk his life for a woman like this."

The old lady sighed, somewhat helplessly. "Well, this is probably the fate of us merchants. I've observed you for a few days, and you're indeed different from others. Jiang Zhi, I hope I'm not wrong about you this time... People can't see the future, but for now, I hope you can love him well. He's... suffered a lot."

She raised her eyes. She didn't know Shang Yanjing's past.

There aren't many rumors about him in Jiangcheng, except for those about business.

He is so mysterious, so mysterious that this person has gone beyond the description of being godlike and omnipotent.

Jiang Zhi never really understood him.

"I'm sorry, Miss Jiang. I deliberately made you misunderstand Mr. Shang that day. That incident had nothing to do with Mr. Shang. He was completely unaware of it. The old lady and I deliberately..."

Jiang Zhi didn't know how she got out of the car, nor how she entered the studio, and she didn't know that the scene of her entering the car had been photographed.

These words were on her mind all day.

It was not until after get off work that Jiang Zhi called Shang Yanjing.

"Hey?"

The call was connected quickly without even asking her to wait.

She clenched her fists and took a deep breath. "That day...were you the one who saved me in the fire?"

"...Now that you think about it, you realize you have no conscience?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

But it couldn't make Jiang Zhi relax. Instead, it felt like a huge stone was pressing down on his heart.

She did not doubt what Old Lady Shang said. After all, she had no need to lie.

Momentarily speechless.

I heard his voice for a long time.

"I didn't ask you to be responsible for me."

"Shang Yanjing." She interrupted him, "I will marry Lu Yan."

There was silence for a few seconds.

"I know."

Jiang Zhi's breath was caught in her throat, and the emotions in her heart became increasingly uncontrollable. She was afraid of being addicted to them and unable to extricate herself. "Since you know this, don't do such boring things anymore, and don't..."

Stop being nice to her like this.

"Don't contact me anymore. I'm afraid he'll think too much." She darkened her face, pursed her pale lips, and spoke in a cold voice.

She didn't allow herself to fall in love, but Shang Yanjing was getting deeper and deeper into it. She had to cut off this relationship immediately and not get entangled with him any more.

"Jiang Zhi, have you ever liked me?"

Jiang Zhi, "No."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone, lowered her eyes to look at the beads on her wrist, and took them off.

She called an express delivery within the city and had it delivered to the group in Shang Yanjing.

When Qian Ze came in with the express box, there was a strong smell of cigarettes in the room. Shang Yanjing rarely smoked in the office, but today... looking at the situation, it didn't look good.

"This is a courier from Miss Jiang."

"Open."

Qian Ze opened the box under the man's gaze and looked at the bracelet inside. "Master, I have returned the bracelet you gave to Miss Jiang."

The man clenched his fists. Was he planning to break up with her?

"I just heard from the old lady's servant that she went to see Miss Jiang this morning, and Miss Jiang suddenly broke up with you... Could it be that the old lady said something to her?"

Shang Yanjing had a sneer on his lips, and Jiang Zhi's words echoed in his mind.

But she couldn't get rid of him.

Now, he will never let go.

……

When He Min came into Xia Qianqian's ward carrying a fruit basket, the room was very quiet, with only Xia Qianqian there.

A few days ago, Xia Qianqian's affairs caused a lot of uproar in the group, but He Min still didn't believe it. In her heart, Xia Qianqian was kind and gentle, and it was impossible for her to be the daughter of a murderer. She must be someone with the same name and surname.

She had seen Lu Yan and Xia Qianqian get along privately, so what they said about using children to get to the top was completely false. She had seen the marriage certificate of Xia Qianqian and Lu Yan.

Before, Lu Yan was really nice to Xia Qianqian.

But... I don't know what happened suddenly that caused Xia Qianqian to have a miscarriage.

These days, He Min comes over almost every day after get off work. It can be said that she is the only person in the entire studio who has some contact with Xia Qianqian.

"Qianqian, how do you feel today?"

Xia Qianqian looked at the woman who came in, frowned slightly, and tried to force a smile, "Minmin, you are so busy at work every day, you don't have to come to see me every day, I have a nurse here to take care of me."

He Min took the basket of flowers and fruits from the side and placed it on the bedside table.

"What orders does the studio have now? However, I heard today that ZJ Group seems to be withdrawing the lawsuit. Tell me, how did Jiang Zhi convince Mr. Shang to withdraw the lawsuit?

Speaking of her, I saw her this morning getting into a luxury car with a license plate... the number four eights. When she got out, she looked lost. Do you think she's being kept? Everything she wears, uses, and wears seems pretty expensive, but she's only just started working. Where does the money come from?
