Chapter 154: The Prisoner
At night, when Zhang Mei was tossing and turning in bed and couldn't sleep, she suddenly remembered some things that happened many years ago.

She got up, turned on the light, walked to the bookcase, rummaged around for a while, and took out an iron box from the innermost drawer.

There are some colorful amusement park patterns on the iron box, like it is used to hold candy.

Perhaps because it had not been opened for a long time, the edges of the box were a little rusty, and Zhang Mei had to use a lot of strength with both hands to pry the box open.

Some envelopes and several color photos appeared before our eyes.

The photos are all of Zhang Mei and Shen Yi when they were young.

Zhang Mei was a little absent-minded as she looked at the photo of Shen Yi, who was smiling faintly.

They met when they were in school. Shen Yi was handsome and smart. He had started to get involved in his family's business when he was in high school and was once a prominent figure in the school.

When I was in college, almost all of the Shen family company's business was managed by Shen Yi.

Shen Yi successfully expanded a small and medium-sized company into a large company in just five years.

Zhang Mei had been fond of Shen Yi ever since she met him. Plus, her family had business dealings with him, so the marriage was decided.

Zhang Mei was naturally happy, but it didn't matter to Shen Yi.

Shen Yi is fully focused on the company's projects. As for marriage, he thinks that it is enough to find the right person and start a family at the right time. It doesn't matter who the right person is.

Zhang Mei sighed softly, her eyes falling on her hands.

These hands, because of Shen Yi, are stained with blood that can never be washed away.

Zhang Mei didn't sleep well that night. She woke up and fell asleep again and again. Finally, around nine o'clock, she was completely awakened by the sound of a lawn mowing machine downstairs.

Zhang Mei was a little annoyed. She stood up and walked to the window, opened the curtains, and saw a hunchbacked man in gray work clothes in the middle of the green plants, using a lawn mower to deal with the weeds.

She was slightly startled. It was a strange man.

She simply washed up, went downstairs, stood at the door of the backyard, looked at the man's back, and shouted, "Stop!"

The man seemed not to hear and continued to weed with his hands.

Zhang Mei directly called the housekeeper who was preparing breakfast, pointed at the man and said, "Just hired?"

The housekeeper said, "Yes, the young master brought someone here." Zhang Mei took a cup of warm water, sat on the sofa, took a sip, and said, "Call him over."

"it is good."

The housekeeper went over and patted the man on the shoulder, pointed to the door, and said, "Madam asks you to go over there for a moment."

The man quickly put down the things in his hands, patted his clothes left and right, and said nervously, "You won't fire me, will you?"

The housekeeper said calmly, "How should I know? Don't ask so many questions, just go over there."

The man limped up the stairs. When he entered the door, he deliberately looked down at his shoes. After making sure that they were not very dirty, he stepped in.

He walked up to Zhang Mei, lowered his eyebrows and looked at her calmly, and called out carefully, "Madam, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhang Mei took a sip of water and looked up casually, but the moment she saw the man's face, she was choked by the water and coughed several times.

The man nervously fidgeted with the corners of his clothes, fearing that he would be fired if anything he said or did was slightly wrong.

"Madam, I..."

Zhang Mei stood up directly. She looked a little flustered, but she pretended to be calm and asked, "Why do you have a scar on your face?"

"This was...an accidental scratch when I was being beaten by someone."

Zhang Mei said bluntly: "Then go. I don't hire people with bad character here. Go to the housekeeper to collect your salary. Since I delayed your time, I will settle it based on three days."

The man hurriedly said, "Madam, I explained my situation to Mr. Shen yesterday. He recruited me after he knew about it."

He felt a little aggrieved, “Madam, I really don’t want to lose this job.”

"Mr. Shen... Which Mr. Shen?"

"He said his name is Shen...Shen Zhiyan! You can call her to confirm."

Zhang Mei's voice suddenly rose a little, "Confirm what? I don't need someone who has been to prison here!"

The man was stunned.
