Her voice grew weaker and weaker, and her face turned ashen.

Mr. Sun slumped to the side. Seeing this, he wanted to get up and stop him, but his fat and bloated body, which had been lacking exercise for many years, was like a natural human punching bag in front of the furious Ji Lun.

He huddled in the corner, trembling, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Xiao Ji, don't be impulsive! If you don't let go, she'll be dead! Think about it, your family worked so hard to send you to school, not so you could become a murderer. If your family finds out that the college student they worked so hard to support has killed someone, how will they ever be able to face their fellow villagers again? And murder is punishable by death. If you're gone, who will take care of them in their old age?"

Ji Lun sneered, "I haven't had any family for a long time!"

Mr. Sun's mind raced, and he suddenly remembered what Ji Lun had just said. He asked in a trembling voice, "If your grandmother knew that her grandson had become a murderer and would spend the rest of his life in prison, do you think she would worry about you?"

Mr. Sun, being older and more experienced, struck at Ji Lun's weak spot with his words, and the murderous intent in Ji Lun's eyes gradually faded.

Ji Lun slowly regained some of his senses and gently released his grip. Tian Jingjing slumped onto the bed like a lump of mud, clutching her chest and breathing heavily, but she still wouldn't let it go.

"Jilin, you bastard! You're incompetent and you blame me for cheating? Don't you think about it? If you were rich, would I have chosen a man so much older than me? Didn't you text me at noon saying you made money? Where's the money? You were lying to me, weren't you? Jilun, you liar!"

At this moment, Tian Jingjing's face turned bright red, and she kept cursing under her breath.

Ji Lun's gaze swept over the box of cigarettes and lighter on the bedside table that hadn't been touched in a long time. When he was in school, even eating was a problem, and he wouldn't have dared to think about such a luxury as smoking.

Now that he's working, he heard that smoking and drinking are essential skills for socializing, and that these two things are needed to build relationships in business. So Ji Lun bought some to try, but after just one puff, he coughed until his face turned red. Plus, Tian Jingjing has never liked the smell of cigarettes, so he never touched them again.

At that moment, Ji Lun reached into the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, slowly put it in his mouth, and then picked up a lighter and lit it with a "snap".

The pungent smell of smoke instantly filled his mouth. He instinctively wanted to exhale the smoke, but after hesitating for a moment, he forced himself to suppress it.

After getting used to it a little, he inexplicably felt that the spicy and pungent sensation was easier to bear than facing the two people in front of him who were cheating on him.

Seeing that Ji Lun completely ignored her words, Tian Jingjing angrily pointed at him and said, "Ji Lun, are you deaf? Did you hear what I said?"

Ji Lun slowly exhaled a smoke ring, and their eyes met through the wisps of white smoke. The man's gaze was icy cold, and Tian Jingjing couldn't help but shiver. Ji Lun was usually gentle and refined, and he had never said a harsh word to her. Now, he felt like a stranger to her.

A moment later, Ji Lun reached into his mouth, took the cigarette out, and stubbed it out on the table. Then, he took out the two Yushan Hot Spring tickets that had been crumpled up.

Tian Jingjing, with her sharp eyes, recognized the two tickets at a glance. A look of surprise flashed across her face, and she couldn't wait to reach out and take them.

But the next second, Ji Lun tore the ticket in half, folded the pieces in half, and tore it again.

A fragment of a ticket slipped from Ji Lun's fingertips. Tian Jingjing looked at the fragment falling from the air and felt a pang of heartache as she reached out to catch it.

"No matter what, you did give me warmth in the past, but after what happened today, we really can't go back. Tian Jingjing, goodbye!"

After Ji Lun finished speaking, he raised his hand and scattered the fragments like snowflakes falling from the sky.

Then, the man strode out.

Behind her, Tian Jingjing quickly put on her clothes, looked up at President Sun who was still sitting to the side, and instantly, anger flared up.

"It's all your fault! You insisted on coming here. Now look what happened! Are you satisfied? You were hoping I'd completely break up with Ji Lun, weren't you?"

Mr. Sun, shirtless, slowly approached from behind, his tone gentle, "It's better to break up sooner rather than later. We'll be found out sooner or later anyway, so it's better to end things cleanly now. That way, we can be together openly from now on, don't you think?"

Tian Jingjing suddenly clutched her chest, looking extremely frightened. "Although that's what I said, I was really terrified today. You have to make it up to me!"

Mr. Sun understood immediately, and skillfully pulled a card from his wallet, handing it to her with a faint smile on his lips: "There's 100,000 in here. Take it and spend it first. We'll talk again when you've spent it all."

Tian Jingjing held the card in her hand, looking at it from left to right, and was overjoyed. "Okay! Then let's consider today's matter over. From now on, we don't have to hide it from Ji Lun anymore, and we can be together openly!"

Just as the two were getting into their spirits, Ji Lun interrupted them. President Sun glanced at the pile of things he had bought for Tian Jingjing that day without making a sound, then looked at the card he had just given her, and felt another pang of heartache.

Having spent so much money today, I must have some fun tonight! With that thought in mind, Mr. Sun brazenly put his arm around Tian Jingjing's slender waist, his hands roaming restlessly up and down, caressing her wantonly.

Thinking of the 100,000 yuan she had already received, Tian Jingjing readily slumped into his arms.

Thirty minutes later, Tian Jingjing dressed herself neatly again and saw President Sun off.

"Can't you take me to your place? This place is so small and cramped, I've had enough of it." Tian Jingjing held Mr. Sun's hand tightly, her pink lips slightly pouting as she pleaded.

Mr. Sun frowned. He had no intention of bringing Tian Jingjing to live with him! Firstly, he felt that this gold digger was not good enough for him, and secondly, his wife had the key to the house, so he dared not take the risk.

"Isn't this good too? That apartment was just renovated not long ago, and it's full of formaldehyde. It's harmful to your health. Sweetie, wait a little longer. I'll definitely take you there in a few days, okay?" Mr. Sun tried his best to pretend to be considerate and caring, and to think about everything for her.

Although Tian Jingjing felt a little disappointed, she still nodded obediently. There was no rush; everything needed to be considered carefully.

After seeing Mr. Sun off, Tian Jingjing ran into Sister Zhang from across the hall as she went upstairs.

"Tsk tsk tsk... I never expected you to be this kind of person. Xiao Ji treated you so well, didn't make you work, and supported you every day. Whatever you wanted to eat or buy, Xiao Ji would satisfy you. I never expected to raise such an ungrateful wretch!" Sister Zhang said indignantly.
