"Okay, you can stay here for now, but don't sleep on the floor. You can stay in the guest room next door. When other people come, you must hide well and not be discovered by them, otherwise I really won't be able to explain why there is a grown man living in my room."

Jiang Tian was genuinely troubled.

On the surface, she is the older sister, but in reality, everyone wants to control her, fearing that she might be kidnapped by someone if she is not careful.

With her approval, Meng Guansheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."

The matter was settled, and Meng Guansheng placed a card in front of Jiang Tian: "There is some money in here, you can use it first."

Jiang Tian was quite particular about money. She took it seriously and asked him, "How much money is in there? Are you going to pay off my debt?"

Meng Guansheng nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then told Jiang Tian the real number.

Upon hearing this nine-figure number, Jiang Tian's mouth dropped open: "You, you weren't hired...?"

She made a beheading gesture.

Meng Guansheng was amused by her, and the corners of his mouth curved up. He then denied her guess: "No."

"So what exactly do you do? You have so much money, yet you still sleep on my floor, really..."

In Meng Guansheng's mind, the past was considered closed after he personally delivered that person to the relevant authorities.

After thinking for a moment, he asked her, "Do you want to hear about my story?"

There are some things he doesn't want to talk about, not because those memories are too heavy for him to mention, but because he's afraid that talking about them too deeply will diminish his image in Jiang Tian's mind.

Some men like to weave their tragic pasts into stories and tell them to the women they fancy, all in an attempt to evoke their sympathy and lure them into bed.

Those past events are best left to oneself; why drag someone else into it, or even demand that person care for him and make sacrifices for him?

Jiang Tian saved him because of her kindness, not because his story was too tragic.

He didn't want to desecrate Jiang Tian's beauty.

He doesn't want to be the kind of person who pours out their pain to gain pity.

But if Jiang Tian wants to hear it, he is willing to talk about it, because he wants Jiang Tian to know more about him.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will stay by her side for the rest of his life, unless she completely hates him and wants to drive him away.

Even if he's in the shadows, he'll still protect her.

Jiang Tian was all that mattered to Meng Guansheng in his life. He was very open-minded about it; his life belonged to her, and it was up to her to decide how to use it.

Jiang Tian was silent for a while, then said to him, "If you want to talk, then talk. If you feel it's inconvenient, then don't."

"I'm very good at judging people, so you don't need to worry that I'll think of you as a bad person. Everyone has their own unspeakable difficulties."

Meng Guansheng smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.

The two exchanged a glance, and he said, "Let me explain."

He wanted Jiang Tian to trust him more.

A person of unclear origin will always cause unnecessary speculation, so it's better to let him tell the story himself.

Actually, his story isn't particularly outstanding. His family was poor when he was young. His parents accidentally got the chance to smuggle themselves into that chaotic country, hoping to make some money to take back home, but they suddenly died unexpectedly. After several transfers, he ended up in an orphanage.

He was later adopted by a foreign businessman.

That man was a cunning fellow. On the surface, he wanted Meng Guansheng to have a complete family, but in reality, he wanted to train him to be his puppet.

He had an entire dark organization under his command, where evil flourished wildly in places where the law could not reach.
