Chapter 56

Shen Jinghan waited until she had almost finished eating, then pressed the internal line to let Fu Nian in.

Fu Nian bravely walked in and said with a smile, "Fifth Miss, you will get your new ID card in seven days. The production center is working on it. There is a document that needs your signature."

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment. New ID card?

She didn't apply for a new ID card.

Lin Ran looked at Shen Jinghan.

Shen Jinghan was processing documents. The sunlight fell on his handsome eyebrows and high nose bridge, as if giving him a layer of golden light, making him indescribably handsome and indifferent.

She retracted her gaze and whispered to Fu Nian, "What new ID card? Aren't you here today to handle your resignation procedures?"

Fu Nian's smile was a little stiff. He didn't want to deceive a young girl like Lin Ran who was not very experienced in the world. She was not a core employee of the company. Leaving was just a matter of a word. What non-compete agreement did she need to sign? What procedures did she need to go through?

They are all excuses.

Director Shen just didn't want her to leave.

Fu Nian pushed the agreement in his hand forward on the table.

Lin Ran's face changed when he saw the content clearly.

"Sign the documents." Shen Jinghan said indifferently in a tone that brooked no argument. "I'll take care of the household registration issue for you. You don't need to ask anyone else for help."

Lin Ran looked at the gift contract in front of her and trembled with anger. It was he who asked her to get out of the company, and now it was also he who forced her to settle in Hong Kong.

You don’t have to think about how expensive the villa in the contract is.

He made the decision for her without saying a word. Should she burst into tears of gratitude and happily accept his pity and gift?

Lin Ran knew that she shouldn't be so pretentious. Her biggest problem in recent years was her identity. Because of her household registration, she couldn't go abroad through normal channels, nor could she use her real identity to do her favorite job. She could only do odd jobs in a foreign country and be an illegal resident.

Ivan mentioned it to her many times and even wanted to hold an art exhibition for her, but she refused.

Her passport is fake and her identity is shady. If she stands in the sun, all her past will be exposed. She can't imagine it and can't bear it.

Lin Ran's eyes turned red. She was ready to live in darkness for the rest of her life.

Why give her a new identity and hope?

The funniest thing is that it was he who destroyed everything for her and made her fall from heaven to hell.

Are you pitying her now?

Seven years ago, she paid a heavy price just for dating him. Now, what price will she have to pay?

Lin Ran suppressed the moisture in her eyes and pushed the gift contract away.

The office was completely silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Fu Nian held his breath, and Shen Jinghan's movement of signing the document paused, his whole body tensed.

Lin Ran said firmly: "I can't sign."

She would not accept this kind of power-for-money transaction. When she had been having an underground relationship with Shen Jinghan, she had not wanted anything from him. Now that they had broken up long ago, it was even less likely that she would accept his material gifts.

She couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

If the last bottom line of her life were to fall, she would be completely destroyed and become the kind of person she most despised.

"Fu Nian, get out." Shen Jinghan's voice was emotionless.

Fu Nian felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly went out and closed the office door.

In the office, only Shen Jinghan and Lin Ran were left.

Shen Jinghan’s phoenix eyes were filled with dark clouds, and he asked coldly: “If it was Shen Zhuoyu standing here today, would you be willing to accept it?”

Lin Ran stood up straight and said calmly, "No, everything has a price. This is something you taught me a long time ago. I know how much I weigh. Even if I sell my body and soul together, it's not worth a villa by the sea."
