Chapter 718: I’ll Risk My Life To Get Even
When Tang Yan heard her words, he felt that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier. It was because Feng Shanshan’s future was also on his shoulders. However, he thought that men should bear the weight and responsibilities of two people.
“I won’t let you regret it.”
“Then charge forward. What are you afraid of!” Feng Shanshan laughed heartily.
As long as they were together, they would be lovers day by day. When danger came, they would face it together.
..
For the entire day, Hu Ran was deep in thought. She sat in her own courtyard and almost never left the house.
Late that night, Papa Hu entered the house, tired. When he saw his daughter sitting in the courtyard, he walked up to her and asked, “Why aren’t you sleeping?”
“Dad, why have you been out so late lately?” Hu Ran asked Papa Hu in return.
“It’s nothing. Just some social engagements. I’ll go take a shower first and chat with you later.”
Hu Ran nodded. She felt a little guilty. During this period of time, she had put all her attention on Sheng Bowen, and rarely cared about her father. If she hadn’t seen him enter the house just now, she wouldn’t have realized how haggard he looked.
She sighed and finally decided to call Ren Yufei. “Secretary Ren, are you free? Let’s meet now.”
On the other end of the phone, Ren Yufei looked at the time. Since she didn’t want Sheng Bowen to know, she nodded and agreed.
“Please tell me the time and place.”
Hu Ran and Ren Yufei exchanged a few words. Then Hu Ran hurriedly told Papa Hu and left the house.
Papa Hu felt a little helpless, but didn’t blame her. After all, she was his only treasure.
Half an hour later, the two of them met at a coffee house. Ren Yufei thought that Hu Ran must have come to lay her cards on the table, although she did not know what exactly Hu Ran wanted.
The first thing Hu Ran did after entering the door was remain silent.
Because she was struggling in her heart.
“Miss Hu?”
“I want to know what you can do for Sheng Bowen.” Hu Ran leaned back on the chair and asked Ren Yufei directly, “Swallow your anger? Or be slapped for his sake? Can you do that?”
“Miss Hu, I don’t want the relations.h.i.+p between the three of us to be complicated. I also know that you and the president used to share weal and woe together. However, since you’ve given up on him, please give him up cleanly. He’s not an object, but a person.”
After listening to Ren Yufei’s words, Hu Ran smiled. “Didn’t you also try to seduce him?”
“But I’ve never hurt him, and I won’t ever. I know that my status is low and my words are insignificant. What I can do for the president is also very limited. However, as long as it’s what he needs, I will do it.”
After listening, Hu Ran looked at Ren Yufei for a while. Finally, she nodded. “Now is the time for you to do something for him.”
“Sheng Kai wants to use me to deal with Sheng Bowen and set him up. But because he still has doubts about me, he hasn’t told me what he wants to do yet. What I need you to do is to intensify the conflict between us and make Sheng Kai believe me. Only then will I know what he wants. He is obviously here for revenge. First, Sheng Bowen, then Grandpa Sheng. Even Sheng Xiao and Mu Qiqi will be his targets.
“Of course, you can choose not to trust me.”
“I trust you,” Ren Yufei said without hesitation.
Hu Ran was stunned for a moment and smiled. “Do you know what I mean? I want you to deal with me, frame me, and even be misunderstood by Sheng Bowen. You trust me that much?”
“I just want to ask, why are you still willing to help the president when you think he hurt you so badly? I thought you’d be like Sheng Kai and hate him to the core.”
“I’ve been sitting at home thinking about this all day,” Hu Ran said, shaking the coffee cup in her hand. “When I found out that you two were together, I felt very uncomfortable, but… that feeling… it was like my stepmother was stealing my father.”
“Then, Gu Ziling contacted me. At that moment, I only felt that my family was in danger again. I don’t even remember how I should be angry at you. My father was right. I had always treated Sheng Bowen as a family member who had gone through thick and thin with me. He and I were special, and no one was allowed to interfere.
“But now that I think about it, I only worry about him. I really don’t hate him. Surprisingly, I don’t hate you either. In that the case, if I still have to lie to myself that I’m in love, then I’m probably really blind.”
After saying this, Hu Ran laughed to herself.
She felt ridiculous.
“If it weren’t for dad, I might really have fallen for him. However, the reason I’m helping him is not because I’m great. It’s just that Gu Ziling and Sheng Kai are really too annoying.”
“No one can know that I looked for you tonight, especially Sheng Bowen. He’s the worst at acting. I’m afraid Sheng Kai might notice something. If you believe me, then join hands with me. However, it’s possible that it’s a gamble on the future of you and Sheng Bowen.”
“What’s the point of liking someone? Don’t you just want good things for them?” Ren Yufei answered frankly. “I believe you, but Miss Hu, if you use me to hurt the president, I’m willing to risk my life to get even.”
Hu Ran wanted to get up, but when she heard this, she was shocked.
“I underestimated your feelings for Sheng Bowen.”
After saying this, Hu Ran got up and left. She looked around to see if anyone was following her.
Saying all that to Ren Yufei relaxed Hu Ran. Was it because she had removed the thorn?
Perhaps it was because it had been so difficult playing dumb for the past two years, so she clung tightly to Sheng Bowen.
Now that she thought about it, she had almost made a mistake.
And because she was too engrossed in thinking, Hu Ran wasn’t fully concentrating on the road and almost hit a car when she turned the corner.
In the darkness, the man in the car got out and took a look at his car. Then he knocked on Hu Ran’s window and handed her a business card. “Contact this person for compensation. You scratched my car.”
Then… the man left like a ghost.
Hu Ran held the business card with lingering fear in her heart. She even thought that she had seen a ghost.
..
The next day, Ren Yufei went to the Sheng family early in the morning to fulfill her task as a special a.s.sistant and take Sheng Bowen to work. She knew very well that only if she behaved intimately with Sheng Bowen could she “infuriate” Hu Ran.
“Why are you here?” Sheng Bowen was as happy as a child.
“Since I’m your special a.s.sistant, I’m here to pick you up,” Ren Yufei answered very naturally.
“That’s the right way of thinking…”
Usually, Ren Yufei tried to avoid triggering any suspicions and got Sheng Bowen to go home by himself. This treatment was really not easy..
“Have lunch with me. I know a restaurant for couples that has a very nice environment.”
After hearing Ren Yufei’s words, Sheng Bowen felt flattered. “Are you serious?”
“Of course.”
