Chapter 314, contract 29

Sikong Jue placed his hands on Shen Tong's shoulders. His words escaped from the corner of his lips. "Shen Tong, listen to me. Don't make a scene!"

Shen Tong said, "I'm not making a scene. I'm your fiancé. I want to be your wife!"

Sikong Jue said, "Shen Tong!"

Shen Tong stared at the man with her big eyes. "Why can't we?"

Sikong Jue's face was stiff. "Because... because, my heart isn't good! You know, I have a congenital heart disease."

His tone was a little hesitant. He was struggling to find an excuse, so he could only use this to avoid Shen Tong.

Shen Tong's eyes were wide open. It wasn't because she was surprised, but because her eyes were filled with tears. She didn't want her tears to fall, so she could only open her eyes wide and hold them in.

After a moment, she took a deep breath and ran out of Sikong Jue's room.

She was heartbroken. How could he lie to her!

He'd used his heart condition to refuse her, but she clearly knew that he had another woman on the go. Even if she was hospitalized, she wasn't isolated from the world. She could still see the news.

A few years ago, she knew that he had lived in the Moonlight Club for a period of time. It was a high-class club for men, and everyone knew about it.

When she was sick, Sikong Jue had other women, but she never minded it. She was sick anyway.

However, she was fine now! She was actually fine!

"Shen Tong! " Sikong Jue got up and chased after her. Then, not knowing where Sheng Tong had gone, he ran to Jian Jian's room.

Jian Jian was lying comfortably on the sofa. He was munching on sweets while watching cartoons. His little feet were bobbing around.

He looked up at the person who had rushed in. "I've finished my training today. It's my private time now! You're not allowed to give me extra work!"

Sikong Jue hit Jian Jian with his big hand. "Get lost! You little brat, you want private time? Where's Shen Tong?"

"How would I know? Tong Tong said that she went to look for you. Why are you asking me?" Chu Jian asked.

"Get up! Hurry up and look for Shen Tong. I don't know where she's hiding!" Sikong Jue urged Jian Jian.

Jian Jian got up from the sofa, put on his shoes, and ran out of the room. "How did you make Tong Tong angry? Let me tell you, if you bully Tong Tong, I won't forgive you!"

Sikong Jue shook his head. "Why would I bully Shen Tong? Hurry up and find her!"

The two of them, one big and one small, couldn't find Shen Tong even though they searched the entire courtyard.

Sikong Jue's forehead darkened. He realized the seriousness of the problem at once. No matter how angry Shen Tong was, she had never run away from home before!

Chu Jian put his little hand on his waist and stared at Sikong Jue. "You're the one who made Tong Tong run away. Bring her back to me!"

Sikong Jue looked at the little boy in front of him. "I know. I'll get Tong Tong back! Don't you worry..."

He strode out of the door. He couldn't find any excuse for Jian Jian's accusation. He was the one who had driven Shen Tong away!

Qin Sheng and Chu Xia walked out of the hall after they finished watching the show, satisfied with what they'd seen.

"This place is so big. It must cost a lot of money to rent, right?" Chu Xia asked.

"Yeah, I'm almost out of money! You have to design a few more sets of clothes so I can earn it back quickly!" Qin Sheng said.

"Got it. I promise that the fashion show will be a success! Have you invited all of the media?" Chu Xia asked.

"Of course. All the media will be here. Soon, the name of the Yun Media Group will be heard far and wide. My grandfather's group can finally come back," Qin Sheng said.

She thought of her grandfather and thought of Qin Ze's words. It was her grandfather who had sent people to kill her father!

Her heart sank. Ever since she heard the news yesterday, she hadn't asked her grandfather about it. One reason was that her grandfather was still in a hospital bed. She didn't know if he could take it. Another reason was that she didn't know how to face this matter!

Chu Xia looked at the gloomy Qin Sheng and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

"Nothing, I just thought of my grandfather. Let's go. Are you hungry? Let's go eat." Qin Sheng restrained her emotions. She planned to find out more about her father before asking her grandfather about it.

"Okay, I'll treat you today," Chu Xia said. Suddenly, her gaze was attracted to a girl on the street. "Qin Sheng, look, isn't that Shen Tong? Why is she here?"

Qin Sheng looked in the direction that Chu Xia pointed and saw Shen Tong standing in front of a taxi. Qin Sheng didn't know what Shen Tong was saying, but she could see the girl was wiping away tears.

"What do you think happened? Let's go and take a look!" She walked towards Shen Tong with Chu Xia.

"Please be reasonable. You need to pay the price! You're trying to cheat me from the money I earned! She looks beautiful, but who knew she was such a character!" the taxi driver shouted.

"I didn't mean to not give you the money. I was in a hurry when I came out and I forgot to bring my wallet. Leave me your phone number. I'll definitely give it to you when I go home! I promise!" Shen Tong explained quickly.

"Since you have your phone with you, call your friend and ask your friend to send you the money!" said the taxi driver.

Shen Tong bit her lip. Her only friend was Sikong Jue... She had run away from home. How could she call Sikong Jue at this time?

"I can't call a friend. I'll give you the money when I get back, okay? I'll give you twice as much!" she said softly.

"You can't call your friend when you have a phone? And you still say that you're not trying to scam me? If I let you go now, how can I find you again? You have to give me the money, or I'll call the police!" said the driver loudly.

Shen Tong listened to the discussions of the surrounding crowd and suddenly felt trapped, stuck in a corner. She lowered her head and couldn't think of a way out of this at all.

At that moment, a boy appeared from behind her.

"Does she just owe you a few dollars? Why do you have to make things so difficult for the girl? You're being unfair! Old Wang, I see that you don't want to work as a taxi driver anymore!" A few people followed behind the man and walked over.
