Return to the Country!

After leaving the restroom, the first thing Jian Dan did was to take a cab to the airport; she had to get on the plane before they found outâ¦
Although Mo Moâs skills were really good, Jian Dan was still a little nervous when she went through the security check. After safely passing the security check, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Jian Danâs palms were still sweating when she settled in her seat on the flight. It was not until the plane took off that she felt truly relievedâ¦
After flying for more than 10 hours, Jian Dan finally returned to S City. Looking at the time, Chu Liyuan should be in the office now, so she took a cab from the airport and went straight to Qin Corporation.
From the underground parking lot, she went straight to the 33rd floorâ¦
As Jian Dan entered Chu Liyuanâs office, she realized that there was no one there. When she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, she turned around expectantly and realized that it was Li Jing standing behind her.
âWho are you? How did you get in?â Li Jing asked coldly as he eyed the stranger before him.
âLi Jing, itâs me!â
Why does this voice sound so familiar?
âGimme a sec!â Seeing Li Jingâs suspicious expression, Jian Dan wasted no time and went straight to the restroom to remove the prosthetic makeup on her face.
Looking at Jian Dan who emerged from the toilet, Li Jing was shocked at first, then became very flustered. âJian Dan, why are you back?â
From Li Jingâs tone, it was obvious that he knew something.
âThatâs none of your concern. All you need to do now is tell me where Uncle is.â âMr. Chu? Erm⦠He⦠heâs on a business trip and isnât here right now.â Seeing Li Jingâs flustered look, Jian Dan knew that he was being economical with the truth.
âSo where is the business trip?â
âErm⦠Itâs⦠Ermâ¦â
âStop lying to me. Tell me where he is now.â
âHow would I dare to lie to you? Mr. Chu is reallyâ¦â
Seeing that Li Jing refused to tell the truth, Jian Dan casually picked up the letter opener on the table and put it to her neck. âAre you going to tell me?â âWhat are you doing? What I said is true.â
Seeing that Li Jing was still refusing to tell the truth, Jian Dan made up her mind and punctured her skin with the letter opener. The moment she pushed the letter opener through her skin, she felt viscous liquid oozing down her neck to her collarbone.
When Li Jing saw this, he immediately panicked⦠If Mr. Chu finds out about this, it will break his heart!
Mr. Chu did all this for her!
âAre you going to tell me or not?â
When Li Jing saw that Jian Dan was going to continueâ¦
âShangfeng Hotel.â Li Jing blurted.
Now that Jian Dan knew the location, she went to Shangfeng Hotel without delay.
Staring after Jian Danâs departing figure, Li Jing wished he could give himself a few slaps. How can I say it? If Jian Dan sees it, the consequences will be unimaginable.
However, faced with the situation just now, he did not seem to have another option.
Li Jing immediately called Chu Liyuanâ¦
âAnswer the phone! Hurry up and answer the phone!â Li Jing muttered under his breath as the call kept ringing.
When Li Jing still could not reach Chu Liyuan after 30 consecutive calls, he was like a cat on a hot tin roofâ¦
Jian Dan had already reached the entrance of Shangfeng Hotel after a cab ride.
When she saw the photograph at the door, she finally understood why Chu Liyuan did not want her to come back.
So, heâs afraid I would ruin their wedding.
In the photograph, Chu Liyuan was hugging Wei Qianyi from behind as blissful smiles adorned their faces.
For some reason, Jian Danâs heart did not hurt at all when she saw the photograph. She did not know if it was because she was already numb or that somewhere in the back of her mind, she had always known that such a day would come..
