The atmosphere was a\nlittle awkward. Shi Jin lowered his head for a moment and got a tight grip on\nhis wandering thoughts. Then, as if nothing had happened, turned to the massage\ntable and looked at Lian Jun\u2019s legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lian Jun was almost gaunt.\nWhen he first mentioned the massage, Shi Jin had mentally prepared himself to\nsee a pair of bony, unattractive appendages. However, when the time came, he\nwas stunned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lian Jun\u2019s legs were\nindeed slender, appearing even more so when he was lying down like that. They\nwere not ugly though: long and straight, with a bit of muscle in proper places,\nlike the calves. The proportions were great too. Probably due to Lian Jun\u2019s\npoor health, his body hair was sparse. Basically, except for the legs being a\nlittle too thin, and the skin delicate enough the blood vessels were visible,\nthere were no severe problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This ratio, this length\u2026\nLian Jun\u2019s legs were good-looking, contrary to Shi Jin\u2019s imagination. If one didn\u2019t\nhold the opinion that \u201cmen should have strong muscles,\u201d they were perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAre\nthey ugly?\u201d Lian Jun asked in a low voice, observing Shi Jin\u2019s expression\ncarefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The teenager came back to\nhimself and shook his head. He couldn\u2019t stop himself from touching one pale\nleg, pinching the meat on the calf to make sure the muscle was real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was. As it turned out,\nLian Jun\u2019s beautiful legs were not a figment of his imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were also very sensitive. Shi Jin\u2019s pinch was light but sudden; Lian Jun wasn\u2019t prepared for it and reflexively twisted away, his eyebrows wrinkling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shi Jin realized what he\u2019d\ndone and gently touched his calf again, asking anxiously, \u201cDid that hurt? I\u2019m\nsorry, I used too much strength.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo.\u201d\nLian Jun\u2019s frown smoothed out. He moved his legs a little, avoiding the young\nman\u2019s warm, dry hands. He wasn\u2019t used to having direct skin-to-skin contact\nwith anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shi Jin, however, misunderstood\nhis movement and thought touch made his legs hurt. Frowning, he silently asked\nXiao Si, \u201cLian Jun\u2019s legs are more sensitive than expected. Can he stand the\nmassage?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<He can, you just need\nto use less strength. The massage is good for Darling,> Xiao Si assured. Its\ntone become eager: <Come on, JinJin, don\u2019t be afraid! On the nest looks\ngood! Go win! Darling\u2019s tired greasy!><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shi Jin: \u201c\u2026\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently, his \u201cgolden\nfinger\u201d had been stunned by the beauty and was useless for the time being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shi Jin focused on Lian\nJun\u2019s legs again. He hesitated for a moment but decided to give it a try.\nAlthough Lian Jun\u2019s legs looked fine on the surface, after such a long period\nof inactivity, the muscles must be stiff. It would be best to loosen them up first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With that in mind, he\nturned and reached for a towel, folded it, then put it on Lian Jun\u2019s waist,\ncovering his key parts. He glanced at the man, touching the hem of the\nbathrobe: \u201cI\u2019m going to begin, Jun-shao. Tell me if it hurts so I can use less\nstrength.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lian Jun was not\naccustomed to lying down, helpless and vulnerable, baring his body. However, he\ndidn\u2019t show it on his face and nodded. He even closed his eyes, pretending he\nwas looking forward to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He\u2019s cooperating, good.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Relieved and grateful, Shi\nJin quickly pulled open the bottom of Lian Jun\u2019s bathrobe and exposed his legs.\nHe turned around and picked up the medical massage oil provided by Uncle Long,\npoured a little into his palm, rubbed for a moment to warm it, then carefully\ntouched Lian Jun\u2019s calf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His hands were warmer than\nusual, and Lian Jun\u2019s legs were sensitive; the touch of Shi Jin\u2019s palms felt\nlike two soft, hot washcloths caressing his skin. At first, it was a little\nuncomfortable, but a few seconds later, the sensation became soothing, as if\nhis pores had opened and were cleansed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, the temperature\nbegan to move, slowly inching up his calf. Skin smoothly glided over skin,\nleaving it glossy from oil. The refreshing sea breeze swayed the curtains,\nstroking the exposed skin and bringing a pleasant chill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cooling after feeling the heat\nwas much more satisfying than the direct feeling of coolness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lian Jun\u2019s eyelashes\nshivered, and his breathing slowed and became softer. He felt Shi Jin\u2019s hands leave\nhis calf and stroke along his knee, then they left for a moment. There was a\nsound of a bottle being opened and hands rubbing, and his knee became hot again.\nThe heat gradually advanced to his thigh, moved along the outer part, then slid\ntowards the inner side\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lian Jun\u2019s eyes snapped\nopen, and he half-rose, bending his legs to block Shi Jin\u2019s hands. His Adam\u2019s\napple bobbed up and down. \u201cI want to drink some cold water. With ice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin was still coating\nhis legs with the massage oil, but the sudden movement forced him to take his\nhands away. He gave the man a disapproving look: \u201cYou can\u2019t drink cold things,\nthey hurt your stomach. I\u2019ll pour you a cup of warm water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Warm water won\u2019t have any cooling effect.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026Forget\nit.\u201d Lian Jun discreetly closed his legs a bit tighter and laid back on the\nmassage table. Motioning to the window next to him, he asked, \u201cCan you open it\na little wider? The sea breeze feels comfortable today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin glanced at the\nFrench window left ajar and checked the strength of the breeze. He decided it\nwas fine, so he picked up a towel and wiped the oil from his hands, then went\nover to open it further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lian Jun seized the chance\nto pull the towel lower, covering a bit more of his legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The massage continued.\nLian Jun closed his eyes again, but this time, he turned his head to face the\nwindow and feel the wind. His semi-dried hair danced in the gentle breeze,\ncaressing his forehead and ears. It looked like a scene from a painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, Shi Jin frowned.\nHe put down the oil he had just picked up and rummaged around for a hairdryer.\nFinding it, he stood at the head of the table to blow dry Lian Jun\u2019s hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lian Jun opened his eyes\nand looked at him but said nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThough\nwe\u2019re on a tropical island, it\u2019s still best to dry your hair after a bath,\u201d Shi\nJin said, combing the other man\u2019s hair with his fingers. He turned the\nhairdryer on, expression focused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lian Jun watched his chin and lips move as he spoke, feeling the fingers gently touching his scalp and warm air blowing through his hair. His agitated heart calmed little by little. Almost against his will, his hand reached out and grabbed the loosely hanging hairdryer cable. It moved with Shi Jin movements; it was almost as if Lian Jun held his hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYour\nhair has grown long, Shi Jin,\u201d he said, voice somewhat husky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHas\nit?\u201d Shi Jin let go of Lian Jun\u2019s hair and passed a hand through his own. \u201cIt really\nis a bit long. Is there a hairdresser on the island? I will cut it tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lian Jun thought this hand\nhad just touched his hair, and the corner of his mouth rose. He hummed then\nclosed his eyes, satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After taking care of Lian\nJun\u2019s hair, Shi Jin moved back to the side of the massage table. Noticing the\noil on Lian Jun\u2019s legs was almost dry, he poured out more and reapplied it.\nThen, he allowed Xiao Si to take partial control of his body and begin the\nproper massage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Massaging the front of the\nlegs was simpler than the back\u2014it was mostly pressing acupoints. Shi Jin and\nXiao Si cooperated, one carefully controlling the pressure, the other asking\nLian Jun in the right moment how it felt. When they finally found the strength\nthat wouldn\u2019t make him too uncomfortable, they were able to move freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The muscles of Lian Jun\u2019s legs were indeed too stiff, and a careful touch revealed slight atrophy. Shi Jin frowned and became even more attentive as he massaged. Without stopping, he asked, \u201cDo you take care of your legs by yourself, Jun-shao?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n His legs were getting some\nexercise, or their condition definitely wouldn\u2019t be this good. It seemed Lian\nJun hadn\u2019t completely given up on himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other man\u2019s eyebrows\nwere furrowed in obvious discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin tried to be as\ngentle as possible, but the neurotoxin made Lian Jun\u2019s legs overly\nsensitized\u2014even light touch caused him pain. Fortunately, it was within his range\nof tolerance. Also, probably because Shi Jin\u2019s technique really was enjoyable,\nafter the initial stabbing pain caused by blood beginning to circulate, it\ndulled and became more of an ache, hot and tingling. It could almost be said to\nbe comfortable, in a strange masochistic way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMm.\u201d\nLian Jun let out a low sound, either responding or groaning of pain. He felt\nShi Jin\u2019s movements stop and opened his eyes to glance at him, forcing his\nforehead to smooth out. \u201cMy situation is a bit different from someone\nparalyzed\u2014I have feeling in my legs and can move them. As long as I do the\nrequired amount of walking every day, I don\u2019t need special exercise. Uncle Long\nmeant well, but he\u2019s a bit misguided.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Required amount of walking?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin\u2019s eyebrows knitted in a frown. \u201cWalking? Jun-shao, are you doing this in secret?\u201d Without preparation, without warming up the stiff muscles, do you simply walk, enduring excruciating pain? That\u2019s too much.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lian Jun closed his eyes\nagain and replied, \u201cIt\u2019s not really a secret\u2026 But, it\u2019s impossible for other\npeople to wait on me and assist me in everything\u2014sometimes, standing and\nwalking are necessary. After taking a bath, I occasionally walk for a while by\nmyself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin said, a bit\nfrustrated, \u201cIt\u2019s good for you to move your legs, but it\u2019d be better to let\nUncle Long help you relax your muscles before you walk. You could also let him\nkeep an eye on you, in case there is a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBut it\u2019s too unsightly,\u201d Lian Jun said, not opening his eyes. His expression and voice were calm and unperturbed as he spoke out loud what he\u2019d always kept hidden deep in his heart. \u201cSomeone who has to take a break after barely taking two steps, covered in sweat, and sometimes falls down\u2026 Annihilation doesn\u2019t need such a useless, weak leader. I\u2019m everyone\u2019s tower of strength, I can\u2019t let them feel anxious and worry about me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n That took Shi Jin aback.\nHe wanted to say that Uncle Long, Gua One, and the others wouldn\u2019t care even if\nLian Jun showed weakness during treatment but swallowed his words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After all, criminal\norganizations were not the same as ordinary companies. Though Lian Jun was\nAnnihilation\u2019s boss, he was already at a disadvantage when it came to physical\nstrength and ability. If his subordinates saw him looking that weak, they would\nprobably still respect him, and be even more concerned about him. However, in\ntheir hearts, the trust, dependence, and sense of security would diminish to a\ndegree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It couldn\u2019t be helped, human mind and subconscious were not controlled by reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lian Jun did his utmost to\npresent the image of unshakeable strength, to be the pillar and spiritual\nleader everyone could put their faith in. The price being he could show no\nvulnerability, as if \u201cpoor health\u201d and \u201cweak body\u201d were nothing more than\ndescriptions of his appearance that had no real effect on his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin thought back and\nfound that in public, Lian Jun always appeared in perfect control of the\nsituation and never showed any weakness. He didn\u2019t require a personal service\nin his daily life, was perfectly groomed and dressed, and managed everything\nwith calm confidence. He even seldom asked anyone to push his wheelchair,\npreferring to do it himself when he could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He didn\u2019t appear like an\ninvalid at all. Apart from using a wheelchair, he didn\u2019t cause any\ninconvenience to others or make them take care of his special needs, as other\npatients tended to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet me help you. If you want to exercise, call me over, I\u2019ll massage and relax your muscles. And I promise I won\u2019t tell anybody that you\u2019re walking on your own\u2014my lips are sealed.\u201d Shi Jin changed the words of comfort for an offer of help. His tone of voice rose as he tried to convince Lian Jun to look forward to the future: \u201cWhen you can walk without trouble, let\u2019s surprise everyone! I want to scare Gua Two!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lian Jun heard his vibrant\nvoice, filled with life and vigor, and opened his eyes to look at him. The\ncorners of his mouth rose up. \u201cVery well.\u201d This person, in some matters, truly\nnever let him down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This \u201cnever letting him\ndown\u201d Shi Jin happily clapped his hands and stood, beaming with enthusiasm.\n\u201cOkay, we\u2019re done with the front, now comes the main thing. Come on, Jun-shao,\nturn over.\u201d Then, he reached for the towel on Lian Jun\u2019s waist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The bathrobe was pure\nsilk, very light and slippery; the towel was made of terry cloth and had strong\nfriction. Shi Jin\u2019s a tad-too-vigorous move removed the towel and pulled the\nbathrobe with it. As a result, the place that shouldn\u2019t have been exposed was\nexposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s\nblack\u2026\u201d Shi Jin blinked, noticing a piece of material peeking out from under\nthe bathrobe. His line of sight involuntarily shifted towards a certain place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Xiao Si let out a strange machine noise, then excitedly took control of Shi Jin\u2019s body. It reached out and patted Lian Jun\u2019s thigh\u2026 very close to the center of his legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lian Jun\u2019s eyebrows\njumped. He sat up, pulled the towel out of Shi Jin\u2019s hand, and threw it over\nthe teenager\u2019s head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the towel covered his\nface, Shi Jin finally snapped out of it and yanked his offending hand back. He\nyelled in his mind, not daring to believe what just happened: \u201cWhat are you\ndoing, Xiao Si? Are you crazy?!\u201d His voice changed in agitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Xiao Si was satisfied and didn\u2019t intend to repent: <My hand slipped, my hand slipped\u2026 Um, JinJin, this towel covered Darling\u2019s most important place, are you sure you want to keep it on your head? Ehe~><\/p>\n\n\n\n The system\u2019s fluttering\ntone of voice sent shudders down Shi Jin\u2019s spine. He pulled the towel off and\nturned to Lian Jun, who\u2019d already straightened his bathrobe and now looked at\nhim expressionlessly. He let out an awkward laugh, explaining nervously, \u201cI\u2026 My\nhand, my hand slipped a little.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lian Jun gave him a\nsomewhat hard-to-describe look, then turned over and laid prone on the massage\ntable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin breathed a sigh of\nrelief and hurriedly returned the towel to its proper place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After that, Xiao Si didn\u2019t\ncause any more mischief, and Lian Jun didn\u2019t speak either. The massage finished\nwithout a hitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin washed his hands,\nsent Lian Jun to the bathroom to take another hot bath, and blew dry his hair.\nThen, he gathered his tools, said goodnight, and skedaddled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Lian Jun left alone,\nthe room was quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He sat against the\nheadboard and moved his legs\u2014they really felt much more comfortable. He glanced\nat the massage table by the French window. Suddenly, he bowed his head and\nchuckled, then looked at the tranquil island nightscape behind the window. His\neyes gradually darkened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\nwas you who took the initiative\u2026 So, don\u2019t blame me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Holidays were happy time\u2026\nIf you didn\u2019t need to attend classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The third day on the\nisland, the teachers Lian Jun arranged for Shi Jin finally arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There were three altogether.\nAll were high-ranking teachers with long seniority\u2014reportedly, they\u2019d taught\nLian Jun and the Guas\u2014and held a prominent position in Annihilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAsking\nme to teach high-school material\u2026\u201d The main teacher was a small, grey-haired\nold man with a bad temper. He was unsatisfied with Shi Jin\u2019s poor level of\neducation, but strangely, when he saw the teenager, he didn\u2019t mention it. He\nonly sized him up and said with emphasis, \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t do this. All the\nknowledge you learn is improving your mind and enhancing your strength. You\nhave to resolve yourself and work harder\u2014don\u2019t waste Jun-shao\u2019s\nthoughtfulness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin, an \u201caged\u201d student\nwho\u2019d lived for two lifetimes, promptly nodded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, your attitude isn\u2019t bad.\u201d This teacher\u2019s surname was Feng; everybody called him Mr. Feng. Seeing Shi Jin earnestly listening to his words, he gave a reluctant nod, barely satisfied. He took out a schedule and said, \u201cWe\u2019ll follow this class schedule: seven lessons every day from Monday to Friday, four in the morning and three in the afternoon, the weekend is free. Is that all right? Since you have no objection, that\u2019s settled. Let\u2019s start class.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin said nothing.\nWell, actually, he wanted to say that the old man spoke too fast and didn\u2019t\ngive him any chance to interject, but when he saw the teacher acting so\nconscientiously, he kept his mouth shut and obediently opened the textbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin was bitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The others were playing\nevery day, enjoying all the island\u2019s attractions, and sailing out to fish or go\nscuba-diving when they got bored. He alone had to endure the miserable fate of\nbeing confined in the classroom and listening to lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh, wait, there was only\none even more miserable than he. Lian Jun, the Annihilation\u2019s boss, had to\nhandle the official business and paperwork every day. He didn\u2019t even take\nbreaks on the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One person did work in the\nlarge study, the other attended classes in one of the smaller ones. It was like\nan affectionate couple overcoming hardships together\u2014was what Xiao Si said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin tuned out his\n\u201cgolden finger\u2019s\u201d nonsense. When he thought about the intensity of Lian Jun\u2019s\nwork, he couldn\u2019t sit still. So, every time he had a break between classes, he\nsneaked into the other man\u2019s study to chat with him and make him relax for a\nfew minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Happy days always pass\nvery quickly\u2014in a blink, the weekend came. Shi Jin didn\u2019t have class. He woke\nup early, put on a comfortable tank top and short pants, and knocked on Lian\nJun\u2019s door, smiling widely. He was ready to take him outside to breathe the\nfresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lian Jun opened the door\nalmost instantly. He eyed Shi Jin\u2019s tank top, loose enough to reveal the\ncollarbone and a bit of chest, but didn\u2019t comment. He gestured for the teenager\nto come inside, saying, \u201cInformation you wanted just arrived. Come in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n These words took Shi Jin\nby surprise. The happy smile on his face vanished. He nodded and followed the\nother man into the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They sat in the rattan\nchairs on the terrace. Lian Jun offered Shi Jin a bottle of juice, then passed\nhim a tablet. \u201cEverything\u2019s here, read it by yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThank you,\u201d Shi Jin said, then focused on the tablet. He opened the only encrypted folder in its memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The data was divided into six files. Shi Jin began reading the first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It started with two\nphotos\u2014one of Shi Weichong, the other of a gorgeous, solemn-looking woman. The\ndates of the pictures written in a corner. Judging from them, the photo of the\nwoman was taken a long time ago; now, she should be much older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin immediately\nrealized she was Shi Weichong\u2019s mother, Shi Xingrui\u2019s first lover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He examined her face\nclosely, and his eyebrows furrowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Strangely enough, Shi\nWeichong\u2019s mother didn\u2019t resemble either Li Jiuzheng\u2019s or the original \u2018Shi\nJin\u2019s\u2019 mothers. They were completely different, both in appearance and\ntemperament. Shi Weichong\u2019s mother was beautiful, but one look was enough to\ntell she wasn\u2019t easy to get along with; the other two women were gentle and\ngraceful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He had vaguely guessed Shi\nXingrui was looking for a woman with a particular appearance, but now it seemed\nthis conjecture wasn\u2019t correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have I really guessed wrong?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin shook his head and\ncontinued reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Weichong\u2019s mother, Xu\nJie, was born in B City in a prosperous family. Her father was a senior manager\nin a state-owned enterprise and her mother a university teacher\u2014both very\nsecure jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Xu Jie had been an\noutstanding student. She graduated from a first-class university then went to\nstudy in country Y for two years. After returning home, she entered Ruixing and\nbecame Shi Xingrui\u2019s assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin\u2019s mouth dropped\nopen in surprise. He repeatedly confirmed he didn\u2019t read wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Weichong\u2019s mother was\nShi Xingrui\u2019s assistant? So Shi Xingrui put his hands on someone who worked for\nhim? Really, this\u2026 wasn\u2019t what he\u2019d expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He digested this for a\nmoment, then kept going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Xu Jie worked as Shi Xingrui\u2019s assistant for several years; in fact, she was a senior member who watched the company take off. She didn\u2019t quit until she got pregnant, which wasn\u2019t planned, then and started living with Shi Xingrui. A few months after Shi Weichong was born, she suddenly moved out and, at least on the surface, broke all contact with Shi Xingrui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That was when Xu Jie\u2019s\nfather abruptly resigned from his government job, went into business, and set\nup a family company. Xu Jie returned home with her son and became its vice-president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After that, Xu Jie became\na powerful businesswoman, focused entirely on running the company. She\ndismissed anything having to do with romance and didn\u2019t remarry, didn\u2019t even\ndate. After Shi Weichong gained his footing and became independent, she stepped\noff the scene. Now, she traveled around the world, enjoying her retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shi Jin enlarged her current picture\u2014the years seemed to have mellowed out Xu Jie\u2019s sharp temperament, leaving behind an elegant-looking woman. He sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If one forgot all the internal disputes and entanglements and looked at Shi Xingrui and Xu Jie\u2019s story from an outsider\u2019s point of view, then Xu Jie was a model of the assertive, self-assured woman. She left her irresponsible scum of a lover and focused on living her life, not letting anything hold her back. She made a successful career and was a good mother who raised her son well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No wonder Shi Weichong had\nsuch business acumen. With parents like that, if he had no talent, everyone\nwould\u2019ve suspected he was swapped at birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
