Chapter 716: I Know What I’m Doing
Hu Ran had not stopped following Ren Yufei and Sheng Bowen, but she did not go looking for trouble with Ren Yufei either because she was waiting for news at home. According to Sheng Kai and Gu Ziling’s personalities, she had a feeling that these two would find her sooner or later.
Papa Hu passed by his daughter’s room after work and saw that Hu Ran was still talking to the detective. He sighed helplessly.
Sometimes, he did not understand what she was thinking.
However, it was also at this moment that Hu Ran received an unfamiliar phone call.
From the moment she answered the call, she could almost confirm the other party’s identity—Gu Ziling!
“Do you have time for a cup of coffee tonight? Because I see that you seem to be very distressed recently.”
“Did you call the wrong number? This is the Hu family...”
“You knew who I was without asking my name. Hu Ran, you said you didn’t know that we sent people to follow Sheng Bowen. But didn’t you also do the same to him and that vixen?”
It had been a long time since she had heard this voice.
By right, because Sheng Kai and Gu Ziling had been beaten up so badly, they shouldn’t want to cause trouble. However, from the current situation, it appeared that these two people were probably going to take revenge on the Sheng family.
“You and Sheng Bowen are divorced, yet you still care about him so much. Why?”
“Shut up!” Hu Ran shouted.
“Don’t tell me you’re just going to watch Sheng Bowen and that vixen get together?”
As if she had been stabbed in the heart, Hu Ran’s voice was mixed with anger. “Tell me, where do you want to meet?”
Soon, the two of them agreed on a time and place to meet. However, Hu Ran having to go out so late at night made Papa Hu very worried.
“Xiao Ran, did you not listen to what I said at all?”
“Father, I know what I’m doing,” Hu Ran said calmly. “I don’t know when I’ll be back at night. Don’t leave the lights on for me.”
Papa Hu sighed. He felt that this was a completely different person from his previous obedient daughter!
..
On the other side, after Cheng Xia suffered a setback, he went home to look for his brother, Cheng Bin, who had just been released from prison.
After Cheng Bin found out about everything, he kicked his younger brother. And with a scar on his forehead, he was and looked ferocious. “Who told you to do anything? Did I ask you to take revenge for me? Do you think that venting your anger on a woman will make me feel better?”
“Stupid thing, what I want is Tang Yan’s life. You dealing with his woman is equivalent to alerting him. How do you expect me to find a chance to attack him in the future?”
Cheng Xia lay on the ground innocently, holding his head. “Brother...”
“I’m a criminal. What right do I have to be your brother? You better get lost. Also, don’t get involved in my affairs in the future. What I do is life-threatening. Do you... have the guts?”
Cheng Xia lowered his head. Of course, he didn’t.
“Since you don’t have the guts, then get lost. Tomorrow, I’ll personally go to the police station and apologize to Tang Yan. Before I’m prepared, I must not be suspected by this person or be spied on.
“What a ‘good’ brother I have, taking it out on a woman...”
In front of Cheng Bin, Cheng Xia was terrified and in awe. However, because they were siblings, he wanted to get close to Cheng Bin. However, Cheng Bin exuded such a strong and fierce aura that Cheng Xia did not dare to get too close to him.
“Go back. This is not a place for you to stay.”
“Brother, I can’t stay in school anymore...”
“That’s none of my business.”
Cheng Xia’s crying really annoyed Sheng Bin.
The most hateful thing was that he had to go to the police station to apologize.
..
It was cold that night, and there were a few customers in the cafe.
At this moment, Hu Ran and Gu Ziling were sitting opposite each other. They used to be sworn enemies, but now, they were able to look at each other calmly.
“I still remember your honey and your glass shards. Have you forgotten them?”
Gu Ziling looked at Hu Ran carefully and suddenly laughed. “Hu Ran, those are all in the past. Can’t you care about what’s happening now?”
“Think about it. If it weren’t for you, Sheng Bowen wouldn’t have been able to become the CEO. You two have gone through thick and thin together, but Sheng Bowen is now...”
Gu Ziling still looked as annoying as ever. She had not changed one bit.
Hu Ran did not say anything. She just picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
“Think about it. How long have you been divorced? Sheng Bowen has already found a new lover. Or was it the little vixen that Sheng Kai sent to his side? Aren’t you angry at all?”
“You’ve said so much. What exactly do you want to do?” Hu Ran asked Gu Ziling. “You came to me for coffee just to say how heartless Sheng Bowen is?”
“Don’t you think that everyone in the Sheng family deserves to die?”
After hearing Gu Ziling’s words, Hu Ran suddenly laughed. “You’re trying to drag me along with you to take revenge on the Sheng family, aren’t you?”
“You know that I followed Sheng Bowen but didn’t tell him. This is enough to show that you hate him.”
“What are you planning?”
“I won’t put you in a difficult position.” Gu Ziling smiled meaningfully at Hu Ran. “We just want to arrange a prank for Huang Yao, but because Huang Yao has completely eliminated Sheng Kai’s people, I need you.”
After meeting Gu Ziling, it was already 10 o’clock in the night.
Hu Ran left the cafe. On the way home, she kept thinking whether or not she should remind Sheng Bowen. However, if Sheng Bowen was on guard and Gu Ziling became suspicious of her, and someone else took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation , wouldn’t Sheng Bowen fall into a trap?
Therefore, she couldn’t say it now.
Of course, Sheng Kai suspected that Hu Ran wouldn’t mess things up. So, on the way back with Gu Ziling, he asked her, “Do you trust her that much?”
“We only asked her for a small favor. She doesn’t know our real intentions, so what are you afraid of?
“Besides, I said that I was toying with Sheng Bowen. She hates Sheng Bowen and will definitely take the bait.”
“Most importantly, if she can’t do it, I’ll arrange for someone else to prepare a surprise for him at the old man’s birthday banquet.”
“Ah Kai, you’ve been in hiding for so long. It’s time for you to see the light of day.”
Gu Ziling thought that Sheng Kai was the same as Sheng Xiao?
When Sheng Xiao was in hiding for half a year, he had founded Zhongteng.
Could Sheng Kai do the same? And yet, the couple was very confident.
Sheng Kai felt that the old man’s birthday banquet would be the day of his comeback!
..
Late that night, Mu Qiqi locked herself in the study and was very mysteriously preparing a birthday present for Old Man Sheng. No one knew what she was up to.
Sheng Xiao looked at the door to the study for a long time before he finally turned around and went back to his bedroom.
