Chapter 67 She Was Driven to a Dead End

manipulate! Although he seems to be cooperating with me on the surface..." 。"But I know, he's secretly guarding against me!" Ji Siyan poured out her feelings, deep and helpless. 。 Ji Yunheng, howeve...Ji Yasan raised her eyes to look at Tong Yimo and replied, "Your future married life might not be very smooth!"

"No one's marriage life is perfectly smooth sailing, you know!" Tong Yimo smiled knowingly.

Jiyashen immediately put the cards away, with an indifferent expression on her face, retorted: "Things like this, if you believe it, there is; if you don't believe it, there isn't. You are right not to believe it!"

However, the next second, Ji Ya Shan changed her face again, pulling out a red rope from somewhere and placing it in front of Tong Yi Mo.

Tong Yimo looked at the rope, which was very finely crafted with complex patterns woven beautifully. She asked, "This bracelet is so pretty, where did you buy it"

"I knitted this myself, and even had the priest bless it at church! It's specially for breaking bad luck, you know. Since your marriage isn't going well, why not buy one to break the curse" Ji Yanshan smirked and asked boldly.

Actually, the silk bracelet that she made for her savior last time was also woven by herself. However, she felt that what she had made herself wasn't high-end enough and was afraid that her savior would dislike it, so she lied and said it was woven by a famous artisan.

Tong Yimo picked up the bracelet and put it directly on her left wrist, asking, "How much"

"How about this, you treat me to a meal. This bracelet is for you!" Ji Yasan smiled faintly.

"Looking at your beautiful rope, I'll treat you to this meal," Tong Yimo said with a smile.

"Are you that easily fooled" Ji Yanshan said with a smirk.

Tong Yimo put on the bracelet and held up her hand, shaking it under Ji Yasana's eyes. She smiled brightly: "Seeing that your bracelet is so pretty, I willingly let myself be deceived!"

Actually, she didn't know why she would get along so well with this girl.

From the moment they met, Ji Yanshan smelled a very faint fragrance on Tong Yimo, and this fragrance was very similar to the scent on the blue silk bracelet of her savior.

"Let's be friends! Hello, my name is Ji Yasan, I'm seventeen and a half!" Ji Yasan introduced herself while extending her hand to Tong Yimo.

Tong Yimo looked at Ji Yashen's outstretched hand and, without hesitation, shook it, smiling slightly: "Hello, my name is Tong Yimo. I'm a year older than you!"

"You women from the countryside, do you all get married earlier" Ji Yanshan asked bluntly.

Tong Yi Mo didn't mind Ji Ya Shan describing her as "country bumpkin" at all, because, first, she didn't think being from the countryside meant she was inferior to others, and second, she didn't feel that Ji Ya Shan was discriminating against her.

Ji Yanshan just speaks frankly and openly, she's not a bad person at heart.

Tong Yimo replied with a broad smile, “I guess so! But it’s not definite, personal factors decide.”

"If you were ever short on money, would you humiliate yourself by being supported by a handsome, rich, married man" Ji Yasan suddenly asked with a dejected air.

Tong Yimo was taken aback. Looking at Ji Yashen's youthful face, which still had a hint of baby fat and skin so smooth it felt like porcelain, she couldn't help but blurt out, "No!"

She has indeed had experiences of being short on money and urgently needing it.

However, at that time, she chose to get married through an arranged date, marrying herself off to get some dowry money back to repay her parents' debts.

That was the most extreme path she could have taken, but if at that time, there had been such a married, wealthy, and handsome man who wanted to support her, she would have refused without hesitation.

Perhaps, each person approaches the same thing with different methods, perspectives, and backgrounds.

This is the case for Jia Shan.

At that time, she only had that one choice, and only that shortcut available.

It was her biological father, along with his "legal wife," who pushed her to this desperate situation.

“If, at that time, your mother was ill and desperately needed money to save her life, and it was too late, she would die. And in that situation, only that man could give you so much money at once. Would you still refuse” Ji Yasan pressed step by step, her eyes flickering with an unspeakable sadness, as if she were talking about the pain in her heart.

Tong Yi Mo was stunned, looking into Ji Ya Shan's eyes. Her attitude was no longer as resolute as before: "I... I don't know... but... I think... it should be possible to talk... to borrow from that man, it doesn't necessarily have to be taken care of by him..."

Ji Yanshan raised her eyes slightly and met Tong Yimo's gaze, a cold sneer on her lips: "Well, if there was something to discuss, the other party wouldn't have made such a request."

Tong Yimo lowered her eyelids, falling silent in an instant.

"Let's keep in touch, okay" Ji Yasan's demeanor shifted, and she was no longer so gloomy.

Tong Yimo looked at Ji Yasan again, smiling and nodding.

So, in the end, they exchanged phone numbers.

After lunch, Tong Yimo accompanied Ji Yani in the restaurant for a while before sending her back to school on the way.

Before parting, Ji Yanshan looked seriously at Tong Yimo and said: "You are the first person who is willing to be friends with me. I will cherish you!"

"Well, I'll cherish you as a friend too." Tong Yimo waved her hand and smiled with contentment.

Ji Yanshan smiled, her eyes sparkling. With a backpack slung over her shoulder, she turned and ran into the school gates.

Tong Yimo watched Ji Yashen walk into the school, and at the same time she sighed with emotion, this Binjiang No. 1 Middle School was really much bigger than her high school in Xizhen.

Each person has their own destiny, but she wouldn't give up just because her life was difficult.

She has also experienced low points in her life, but she did not give up on herself.

Land King Properties Building, under the Cold Chain Group.

In the General Manager's office, Leng Zhucheng learned that his older brother, Leng Yeshen, had entrusted a 500 million project to their uncle, Leng Yefeng, and felt very uncomfortable inside.

In the past, if there were projects worth hundreds of millions at headquarters, the general managers of internal subsidiaries would first lead their teams in a fair competition. Only the winner of the competition would be eligible to take responsibility for that project.

But, Big Brother hasn't officially taken office yet, and he directly assigned the project to his uncle. What does that mean

Although Leng Zhùjǐng was unwilling to accept this, he had nowhere to vent his frustration. He could only secretly complain in his heart.

He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but ever since his older brother retired from the military and entered business, he felt that the actual power of the subsidiaries under Cold Group was slowly being reclaimed by his brother, bit by bit.

Under the Cold Group, there are three major subsidiaries: TianShi, DiLi, and RenHe, which are responsible for various business areas of the Cold Group.

And the general managers of the three subsidiaries are similar to the lords of the fiefdoms, each holding the power over their respective subsidiaries.
