Copywriting:

Recently, Shen Jingyan, the president of Shengshi Group, shocked the outside world by marrying a girl from an ordinary family.

According to reports, an insider revealed that after this woman became friends with Shen Jingyan’s sister, she racked her brains to get involved with Shen Jingyan and used shady means to marry into the Shen family.

However, on their wedding night, Lin Ran, who was forced to get married and wanted to run away, was caught by Shen Jingyan: Escape? Oh, you never want to escape from me in this life. Even if I go to hell, I will take you with me.

No one knows better than Lin Ran. After peeling away the cold exterior, Shen Jingyan has a crazy and paranoid heart, and there is no way for her to escape.

Chapter 1 Humiliation

Shen Zhai.

When she learned that Shen Jingyan was back after a three-month business trip, Lin Ran came to see him excitedly.

Unexpectedly, when she stepped into the room, the Shen Jingyan she wanted to see was not there. Instead, there were two unfamiliar faces. One of them was very similar to Shen Jingyan, and she couldn't help but be startled.

As soon as Lin Ran entered the door, Chen Yaru saw her.

Although she has never met Lin Ran, she has seen photos.

I have to say that Lin Ran is much prettier in person than in the photos, with long curly hair as beautiful as satin, a small face as big as a palm, bright eyes and white teeth, fair skin, and a curvy figure. He has the ability to make the opposite sex fall in love at first sight.

Chen Yaru slowly put down the tea cup in her hand and introduced herself: Hello, Miss Lin, I am Jing Yan's mother, Chen Yaru!

Caught off guard, Lin Ran saw her boyfriend's mother and said politely: Hello, aunt!

Chen Yaru glanced at the housekeeper standing aside and ordered: Go and pour Miss Lin a cup of tea!

After saying that, Chen Yaru focused her eyes on Lin Ran's face again, Jing Yan is on his way back, and Miss Lin is also here to see him. Let's sit down and wait together, and we can chat by the way.

As Shen Jingyan's girlfriend, Lin Ran often came to stay for a few days and was considered half the hostess here. As soon as Chen Yaru came, she became a guest.

After all, the other party was Shen Jingyan's mother, so she didn't feel any discomfort.

However, after his eyes inadvertently met the young woman next to Chen Yaru, Lin Ran felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

She has been dating Shen Jingyan for five years, but she has not been in his social circle and does not know a few people around him.

Is this woman Shen Jingyan's friend?

Seeing Lin Ran looking at Qi Mingshan, Chen Yaru showed an expression as if she had a bad memory and said, Miss Lin, let me introduce to you. This is Qi Mingshan, the daughter of the Qi family.

Qi Mingshan smiled at the right moment, her slightly drooped eyelids blocking her contempt, Hello!

Even though Qi Mingshan was covering up, Lin Ran could still feel something strange.

She nodded gently to Qi Mingshan, and then said to Chen Yaru: Auntie, I'm a little tired, go up and rest.

Shen Jingyan was not here, and he didn't know the purpose of Chen Yaru and Qi Mingshan's visit, so Lin Ran didn't want to stay with them.

As soon as she picked up her steps, Chen Yaru lost her gentle expression and said, Miss Lin, didn't your parents teach you how to respect your elders?

Qi Mingshan answered: Perhaps parents from poor families only know how to feed their children and do not know how to educate them, resulting in low quality of their children.

Lin Ran was faced with an unconcealable sarcasm, and he immediately understood that the person who came was not malicious.

She stood there and stared at Qi Mingshan and Chen Yaru.

A long time ago, when Chen Yaru knew that her son had a girlfriend, she asked someone to find out about Lin Ran.

A little star who debuted as an actor at the age of ten and quit the industry at the age of eighteen. Fortunately, she went to the same university as her daughter. She met her son through her daughter. She tried her best to entangle him and fall in love with him. It was obvious at first glance. A woman who is greedy for vanity and will do whatever it takes to get to the top.

At first, Chen Yaru didn't take Lin Ran seriously. Her son had grown up and had physical needs. It wasn't a big deal to find a woman who loved money to solve them. But she didn't expect that her son was about to reach his thirties, and the woman next to him was still Lin Ran. She had never changed women, and she didn't focus on those wealthy ladies. She was anxious.

Her daughter-in-law must not be an unattractive woman like Lin Ran, and she must not give Lin Ran any chance to rise to the top. Her daughter-in-law must be knowledgeable, dignified and generous, a daughter of a wealthy family who graduated from a top university and is well matched with her son!

Qi Mingshan, who had just graduated with a master's degree and returned from abroad, met Chen Yaru's requirements for a daughter-in-law. In addition, Qi Mingshan was the daughter of an acquaintance of hers. She knew the details, so she wanted Qi Mingshan to be her daughter-in-law. As for Lin Ran, who has never been publicly acknowledged by his son, he should stay where he can.

She brought Qi Mingshan to her son's home today just to introduce her son to Qi Mingshan. Unexpectedly, she happened to bump into Lin Ran and let Lin Ran know that she would never be able to cross the threshold of the Shen family.

Chen Yaru still sat still, the contempt in her eyes was quite obvious, I believe Miss Lin is a smart person. You have been with my son for five years, and you have no girlfriend status and no girlfriend rights, but you can guess my son. I don’t want to marry you. A woman’s youth is limited. Miss Lin should think more about herself. She might as well break up with my son as soon as possible. It’s good for you and good for him."

Hearing this, Lin Ran's face turned slightly pale.

Chen Yaru hit her right spot!

Before falling in love with Shen Jingyan, he made things very clear to her.

As the leader of Shengshi Group, his life plan does not include getting married and having children. Only working and expanding his business territory are the most important things in his life.

When two people are together, both parties can call it quits at any time. If he calls it stop, he will compensate her.

Indeed, as Chen Yaru said, she only has the title of girlfriend and no rights as a girlfriend. He never took the initiative to introduce her to anyone in his circle, and rarely went out with her. The two of them spent most of their time in this villa. His approach was obviously because he didn't want him to have too much contact with her. The involvement will lead to unclear separation in future breakups.

After being with him for so long, Lin Ran always played the role of a well-behaved and sensible girlfriend, for fear that he would become disgusted with her.

She didn't believe that Shen Jingyan would never be tempted by her.

Anyway, she is still young and has plenty of time to spend time with him.

But she never thought that before that, his mother would come to trouble her.

Noticing the change in Lin Ran's expression, Chen Yaru raised the corners of her mouth into a sarcastic smile, My son has always been generous. If you take the initiative to break up with him, he will not treat you badly.

Lin Ran never wanted unjust treatment.

On the day of her eighteenth birthday, in order to please an investor, the brokerage company set a trap for her and wanted to send her to the investor's bed. In despair and helplessness, Shen Jingyan saved her. From then on, her heart changed. It was left on him.

All she wanted was to be with Shen Jingyan for the rest of her life.

Chen Yaru took advantage of the victory and pursued: People must be self-aware. If you continue to stay with Jing Yan and get dumped when you are old and old, it will be ugly! It will be much easier for you to find a man with better conditions than you while you are young and beautiful.

Lin Ran had never faced this before and was at a loss for what to do.

The good mood before coming was gone, and she didn't want to leave. She hadn't seen Shen Jingyan for three months, and she wanted to see him. Therefore, although Chen Yaru's words made her uncomfortable, she still chose to stay, but instead of staying in the hall on the first floor, she quickly walked upstairs to Shen Jingyan's bedroom, clearly intending to avoid it.

Chen Yaru looked like a winner, raising her chin slightly.

Qi Mingshan smiled and said: Auntie, you are so amazing. You can make Lin Ran speechless in just a few words.

Qi Mingshan thought that Lin Ran was a powerful woman who had been by Shen Jingyan's side for five years, but he didn't expect that she could run away with just a few sarcastic words. Such a weak opponent greatly increased Qi Mingshan's confidence in becoming Mrs. Shen, and also strengthened her confidence to rely on the power of the Shen family to obtain the position of heir to the Qi family.

Chen Yaru has seen many women who come from an ordinary background and want to marry into a wealthy family just because they have some good looks. For this kind of woman, speaking a few words to her face is just her most basic operation. Her methods are not as good as hers. Really use it.

Before her son came back, Chen Yaru hurriedly taught Qi Mingshan how to leave the best impression on her son when they met for the first time.

About half an hour later, slight footsteps came from the door.

A face with deep, three-dimensional features and an air of indifference suddenly appeared in front of him.

Qi Mingshan looked like a young girl in love, her face slightly red.

As outstanding as she is, there are very few people of her age who are worthy of her in the huge city of S. Shen Jingyan is the most suitable marriage partner for her. A strong alliance is her ideal marriage. It would be perfect if she develops a relationship with Shen Jingyan.

As soon as she saw her son, Chen Yaru stood up immediately and smiled, Jing Yan, mom is finally waiting for you to come back! It must be hard to be away on business for so long!

His mother, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came to his home with a strange woman. A trace of displeasure flashed across Shen Jingyan's eyes, and he glanced away with a cold gaze.

Chen Yaru introduced: This is the daughter of my good friend, who is also from the Qi family...

Wu Kuncheng, who was following Shen Jingyan, was his assistant. He knew that the president had not taken a break for forty-eight hours before he came back. He worked very intensively and had to go to the company non-stop for high-level meetings when he came back. Now that he was back home, he needed urgent help. Rest instead of listening to what others say here.

Wu Kuncheng interrupted Chen Yaru with a smile: Ms. Chen, Mr. Shen hasn't had a break for two days. If you have something important, you can tell me and I will handle it for you.

There is nothing important, please leave immediately!

Wu Kuncheng didn't say the second half of the sentence, but his eyes signaled the housekeeper to go to work.

The housekeeper was Shen Jingyan, who had worked in the Shen family since he was young and had always taken care of his food and daily life. He knew that Shen Jingyan's parents divorced when he was one year old. He was raised by his father and his relationship with his mother had always been cold and distant. Therefore, the housekeeper walked over confidently and politely asked Chen Yaru and Qi Mingshan to leave.

The goal was not achieved. Chen Yaru, who knew her son's temper well, was not unhappy at all and decided to take Qi Mingshan back first and find an opportunity to introduce Qi Mingshan to her son another day.

Seeing Shen Jingyan walking upstairs, the housekeeper said respectfully: Sir, Miss Lin is here, upstairs.

Shen Jingyan's expression remained unchanged and his steps did not stop.

***

Close the door and stay in a quiet space.

Lin Ran forced herself not to think about what Chen Yaru said, opened the music player on her phone, selected a song she had just written recently, put on her headphones, and played it on a loop countless times.

I don't know how long it took, but the bedroom door was opened.

A slender leg stepped in, and Lin Ran immediately recognized Shen Jingyan.

In an instant, she quickly took off her earphones and smiled sweetly: Jing Yan!

Immediately, she rushed over and threw herself into his arms.

The girl in her arms had a smile as bright as a flower, a look familiar to Shen Jingyan.

Lin Ran had a smile on her face, but felt uneasy inside.

I wonder if Chen Yaru and Qi Mingshan left downstairs. Chen Yaru didn't want her and Shen Jingyan to continue to be together. Did she ask Shen Jingyan to break up with her?

She had never heard Shen Jingyan talk about his parents. She only knew that his parents divorced when he was very young. After that, his father did not remarry, but his mother did remarry and gave birth to her good friend Fang Siyu. She also didn't know what the relationship between Shen Jingyan and his mother was like. Would he listen to his mother's words?

The author has something to say: This is a story about a man who abuses his wife for a while and chases her to the crematorium. Those who like fairies will like it~

Copywriting:

Rumor has it that Chu Nanfeng, the heir to the Chu family, is nearly thirty years old, is not a womanizer, and hates women because he was toyed with his feelings by a girl while studying abroad. In the end, the little girl disappeared without a trace.

One day, Chu Nanfeng came home and saw his half-brother introducing his girlfriend to his family.

And that girl is his ex-girlfriend -Ning Yue.

Ning Yue, who was helping her friend by pretending to be his girlfriend and dealing with his family's pressure to get married, never expected to meet her ex-boyfriend. Thinking of the past, Ning Yue shivered in her heart.

But her friend didn't realize it and introduced her: Yueyue, this is my eldest brother Chu Nanfeng!

Ning Yue's voice trembled slightly: Big...brother!

Chu Nanfeng's eyes were full of coldness, and he whispered softly: Brother and sister?

Chapter 2 Follow her

Shen Jingyan didn't move and let Lin Ran hold him.

Lin Ran hid his worries, pretended that he had not met Chen Yaru today, and asked, Did the business trip go well?

smoothly.

Before Shen Jingyan came back, Lin Ran learned from Wu Kuncheng that he had successfully won overseas markets during this business trip. Hearing his light tone, there was no joy at all, and she was used to it. He always looked calm and calm, as if nothing in the world could disturb his mood.

Did you bring me a gift? In order to enhance the sense of presence in Shen Jingyan's heart, Lin Ranyou asked him to give her a gift unique to the place if he went to other places.

have.

Where is it? Lin Ran let go of him and reached out to ask for it.

Wu Kuncheng will give it to you tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran knew that the gift was 100% chosen by Wu Kuncheng.

Ok, this gift can be thrown into her utility room again.

After not sleeping for two days, Shen Jingyan showed a little tiredness on his brows, turned around and sat on the sofa, and then closed his eyes.

Lin Ran understood what he meant at a glance.

She walked behind him and gently pressed his temples with her hands to help him relieve his fatigue.

The tip of his nose was filled with the girl's fresh scent, and the girl's technique was very comfortable, making Shen Jingyan feel sleepy.

The moment he was about to fall asleep, he opened his eyes, and his gaze suddenly became sharper, What have you been doing in the past three months?

Sleep, play, practice piano, and write songs.

This is Lin Ran's daily life.

She achieved financial freedom by helping others write songs, not to mention the black card given by Shen Jingyan. She didn't need to go out to work, and she didn't have to worry about money, and her life was quite comfortable. The only trouble is that Shen Jingyan is too busy at work and has very little time for her. He doesn't love her.

No, now she has to add another worry.

Shen Jingyan's mother doesn't like her!

Thinking about being so humiliated by Chen Yaru and Qi Mingshan made her angry.

If Chen Yaru wasn't Shen Jingyan's mother and it was inappropriate to have a conflict with her, she would definitely fight back.

Suddenly, her hand was grabbed by Shen Jingyan.

She looked at him doubtfully, I haven't pressed it for too long. Does it make you uncomfortable?

Shen Jingyan stood up.

In an instant, his tall body enveloped her.

sleep!

Before he finished speaking, Lin Ran was already taken to the bed and lying down.

As fast as lightning, she was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, Shen Jingyan had already hugged her tightly in his arms, his eyes tightly closed.

Even when he was sleeping, Shen Jingyan looked like he would avoid strangers.

But his facial features and face, which are as if carved by top masters, are extremely beautiful.

The feeling he brought to her was still the same as when she fell in love with him at first sight six years ago.

He wants to sleep and she won't disturb him.

She also wanted to sleep, but she was preoccupied with something and couldn't sleep.

After a long time, she heard shallow breathing, confirmed that Shen Jingyan was asleep, and gently tried to leave his arms. Unexpectedly, as soon as she made a move, her deep eyes that were originally closed opened, looking at her with a cold light.

For a moment, Lin Ran had the illusion that he had done something bad and was caught.

Shen Jingyan said nothing, and she returned to his arms obediently.

Who makes her a well-behaved and sensible girlfriend!

***

Lin Ran fell asleep in a daze, and when he woke up it was already dark.

She was the only one left on the bed, and Shen Jingyan was nowhere to be found.

She went to the study as a habit.

Sure enough, Shen Jingyan was inside.

I saw him staring at the computer screen with a frosty face, and the cautious voice of his subordinate came from the computer.

When she arrived, Shen Jingyan raised his eyes, glanced at her without any emotion or warmth, and then continued to look at the screen.

Shen Jingyan's time is extremely valuable. A large amount of money enters the account every minute. Tens of thousands of employees of Shengshi Group all depend on him for their meals. Lin Ran stopped at the door of the study and did not go in, hindering his work. After looking at him for a while, she closed the door and wanted to go downstairs to find something to eat.

By chance, she met the butler who came to deliver food.

Remembering what happened during the day, Lin Ran's uneasiness welled up in his heart, and he asked in a low voice: Housekeeper, when Jing Yan first came back, did his mother say anything to him?

She knew she shouldn't ask these questions, it was best to pretend it never happened, but she couldn't help it.

The housekeeper has known Lin Ran for five years. He has always been polite and courteous to Lin Ran, and has revealed relatively little about Shen Jingyan. Because, judging from Shen Jingyan's attitude towards Lin Ran, he knew that Lin Ran would not be the future mistress of the Shen family. She would only stay with him temporarily and be dumped one day.

Ms. Lin, I suggest you ask Mr. Lin.

The housekeeper gave Lin Ran such an answer and entered the study.

As a half-hostess, that is, she can only live here for a few days and ask the servants to do some work. It is even harder to dig out useful information from the housekeeper. In contrast, Lin Ran prefers Wu Kuncheng, who knows a lot of things she wants to know.

Did Wu Kuncheng come back to the Shen family with Shen Jingyan this time?

Lin Ran returned to Shen Jingyan's bedroom and dialed Wu Kuncheng's number.

The president was still working late at night, and as the president's assistant, Wu Kuncheng was naturally busy as well.

But for Lin Ran's call, no matter how busy he was, he still had to take time to listen.

There was no other woman around the president, and Lin Ran was the only one. Although the chance of becoming Mrs. Shen was not high, there was still a chance. Wu Kuncheng did not dare to look down on Lin Ran, and was polite to her, Ms. Lin, it's so late , I haven’t had any rest, what can I do for you?

Lin Ran got straight to the point: Did you come back with Jing Yan today? Have you met his mother?

After Wu Kuncheng met Chen Yaru, he heard the housekeeper say that Lin Ran had also come to the Shen family. He guessed that they must have met before, Yes. What did Miss Lin want to ask?

Did his mother say anything to him?

Mr. Shen never said a word to her.

From this sentence, Lin Ran judged that Shen Jingyan did not have a good relationship with his mother.

If the relationship between mother and son is not good, then Chen Yaru can't interfere with who Shen Jingyan is with, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Ran smiled happily.

Little did they know that as soon as she hung up the phone, Wu Kuncheng's call came to Shen Jingyan.

The phone vibrated, and Shen Jingyan paused the video conference, Say!

Wu Kuncheng didn't dare to reveal information to Lin Ran at the beginning. He only dared to do so with Shen Jingyan's consent. Although he agreed every time later, he had to report questions like the ones Lin Ran asked tonight.

After the detailed report, there was no sound from the phone for a while, and Wu Kuncheng's heart skipped a beat.

He couldn't have done anything wrong, right?

Just when he was thinking of remedies, there was a sound on his phone.

It doesn't matter. Just tell her whatever she wants to know.

Lin Ran never inquired about his affairs at his place. He liked to inquire about Wu Kuncheng's place. Shen Jingyan knew about it early on. Lin Ran had been with her for five years, and he knew her little thoughts. She just wanted to be his wife, even though she said she was content to be his girlfriend.

She had never done anything out of the ordinary, nor had she caused any trouble to him. She stayed by his side peacefully, and he allowed her to move her thoughts.

Wu Kuncheng breathed a sigh of relief, Okay, Mr. Shen!

***

Shen Jingyan is too busy at work, and her schedule is inconsistent with Lin Ran's. She has very high requirements for sleeping. She cannot have light, let alone any sound. Once she is awakened, she will not be able to sleep for a long time. Shen Jingyan went to bed late in the morning every day and got up early in the morning, but she was so happy to be able to sleep in the same bed with him. She overcame these difficulties and stayed there for ten days before returning home when she couldn't bear it anymore.

When you open the door of your home, you will see many bags printed with the logos of major luxury brands.

Before going out, the house was neat and tidy, but suddenly it became chaotic. Without thinking, she knew that her friend Ning Xi, who lived with her, had returned.

Lin Ran took off her high heels and said, Ning Xi, when did you come back?

Ning Xi was looking for food in the kitchen. When she heard Lin Ran's voice, she ran out immediately, Hey, why are you back today? Didn't you stay at the Shen family and accompany Shen Jingyan?

Ning Xi, like Lin Ran, started out as a child star. She made a living on the set at a young age. Lin Ran quit the industry, but Ning Xi is still hanging around in the industry. So far, she is stuck in the ranks of second- and third-tier stars, unable to make it to the first-tier. In this way, I am often so busy that I can't find anyone, and it is rare to come back to S City.

Lin Ran raised his head and looked at Ning Xi: I want to come back and sleep in my own bed!

Neji rolled his eyes: I told you earlier, it is important for two people to like each other when they are together, and it is also important for their living habits to be compatible. You and Shen Jingyan, he doesn't like you, and his living habits are not the same as yours. It’s the same, if you can’t sleep well at his place, what are you trying to do if you’re with him?

Ning Xi had never seen a relationship like this between Lin Ran and Shen Jingyan, saying that Lin Ran was Shen Jingyan's girlfriend. The two were not dating, let alone publicly known as a couple. The president of Shengshi Group is single to the outside world, and Lin Ran is Shen Jingyan's secret girlfriend. It's miserable that she hasn't been publicly recognized for five years.

He is young, handsome and has a successful career! Lin Ran paused for a moment and said with light in his eyes: The most important thing is that he is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with!

You are willing to spend your life with him, but he is not willing to spend his life with you. Ning Xi didn't like to pour cold water on Lin Ran before. Five years later, Lin Ran still couldn't get rid of his underground girlfriend's identity. She wanted him to Wake up, why waste your wonderful youth on someone who doesn't love her.

Big star, don't always say hurtful things, can't you just hope that I'll be better?

I just want to wish you well, that's why I said these words! Ning Xi said, handing her the newly received script, I just accepted this drama, and I haven't found anyone to do the music yet. Take a look, can you Can’t you write a song that fits the plot? If you can, I’ll help you say hello to the producer.

Thank you! Lin Ran immediately read the script.

By the way, the male protagonist is Xiao Zhan. He has to sing a theme song, and you have to tailor it for him.

Xiao Zhan? Lin Ran didn't seem to hear clearly. He looked at Ning Xi and motioned for her to say it again.

Yes, Xiao Zhan! Your former partner and suitor!

I have a boyfriend. It's not convenient for me to associate with my previous suitors. So I won't accept the music for this drama.

Boyfriend? You are dating Xiao Zhan. Do you think Shen Jingyan will be jealous if he knows about it? Wake up quickly. Shen Jingyan doesn't like you. He can't be jealous. He doesn't care at all which man you date! Ning Xi hated Tie. Bu Chenggang said, Shen Jingyan must have lowered his head for you. Five years is not enough for you to wake up!

The author has something to say: The plot of the copywriting is in the middle and late stages, and it is now in the early stage ~

Although I don’t know what the nutrient solution is used for, I still want it ~

All the fairies of Qiuqiu reward me with nutrient solution ~

Chapter 3: Vengeance

Ning Xi seemed not to have said enough, and added: It was six years ago that Xiao Zhan chased you. Now he is a first-line actor, worth over 100 million yuan, and has tens of millions of fans! You, an unknown musician, the gap between heaven and earth , people definitely don’t like you anymore!

Lin Ran was angry: Who is an unknown musician? I am also famous, right?

Your fame is only in the music industry. Looking at the entire entertainment industry, you have been forgotten. Ning Xi turned back to the kitchen and said, Write songs for me well. I fought for this drama for a long time. You Don’t write it down, because when the show is released, the terrible theme song and BGM will drive away the viewers! The ratings are not good, I will blame you!

Lin Ran snorted and took the script to study.

After Ning Xi had eaten and drank, she returned to Lin Ran and said, I'm going to a banquet tomorrow night, will you accompany me?

During the four years of college, two years of graduation, and six full years, Lin Ran rarely went out to socialize. His circle was very small, with only a few acquaintances coming and going, and he had never been to a public occasion such as a banquet. When Ning Xi asked her to accompany her, her first reaction was to refuse, If you don't want to go, ask your agent to accompany you!

My manager is hugging me and forgetting about me, a little star.

Ning Xi's agency was acquired recently, and her agent was too busy looking for connections to get promoted and had no time to care about her. If she hadn't already been booked as the heroine of the movie and was snatched away at the last minute, she wouldn't have come back to City S early to get an invitation to the director's banquet and make a last-ditch effort.

Where's your assistant?

I'm sick and hospitalized! Ning Xi looked helpless.

So, your last remaining candidate is me?

Go, don't stay bored at home, only know Shen Jingyan, go see the outside world, get to know a few more good men, and then dump Shen Jingyan, who is not a good guy! Ning Xi refused to refuse Lin Ran, and started from her The newly brought back dresses and jewelry from major brands helped Lin Ran choose a complete outfit.

***

The next evening.

Ning Xi's exclusive stylist came to serve her and Lin Ran.

After the two of them were dressed up beautifully, the stylist left with satisfaction.

Ning Xi looked at Lin Ran, who was more dazzling than her in the mirror, and said with envy: You are prettier than me, and if you were still an actor, you would have definitely become famous, unlike me who has been working in the second and third ranks for so many years. !

You will definitely become famous, believe in yourself.

I accept your good advice. Ning Xi pulled Lin Ran out and said, You went to the banquet. You don't need to say anything, just stay with me and cheer me up.

ok!

When we arrived at the hotel where the banquet was being held, a very embarrassing thing happened.

That is, the invitation card that Ning Xi got had a name that was not hers, but the guests at the scene all entered with their real names and were not invited. Anyone who got the invitation card through other means would not be allowed in.

The security guard guarding the door knew Ning Xi, who had a high level of nationality.

However, understanding is understanding, and work is work.

The guests at this banquet are either rich or noble. If you let someone in who is not invited, if something goes wrong, you will lose your job!

The security guard tore the invitation into pieces and threw it into the trash can: Ladies, I'm sorry, your invitation is not in your name, so you can't go in.

Ning Xi was anxious. The movie was about to start filming. Before the actor who snatched her role had signed a contract with the film studio, she had to get the director over and get the heroine's position back. Tonight was her last chance. Brother, please be kind. We are not bad people. We just go in to find people we know.

no!

Ning Xi was thinking of various ways to get the security to let them in.

Lin Ran couldn't say anything and just stood aside.

Suddenly, Ning Xi, who was talking to the security guard, exclaimed: Ran Ran, look inside!

They were standing at the door and could see what was going on inside the banquet. Ning Xi suddenly exclaimed, and Lin Ran looked curiously in the direction she pointed.

A tall figure, standing out from the crowd, was particularly conspicuous among the guests.

Shen Jingyan!

There were several people around him, two of whom were Chen Yaru and Qi Mingshan whom she had met at the Shen family before.

Qi Mingshan smiled and seemed to be talking to Shen Jingyan in a soft voice.

Shen Jingyan's face was as cold and distant as ever, looking straight ahead without looking at Qi Mingshan.

Out of a woman's keen sixth sense, Lin Ran saw through Qi Mingshan's evil intentions towards Shen Jingyan at a glance.

He has been a proud son since he was born. He has been very smart since he was a child. After taking over the Shengshi Group, he expanded the group's size several times, and his profits skyrocketed. He is young and capable, and his appearance and figure are no worse than those of male stars who work for a living in the entertainment industry. , Shen Jingyan is a high-quality target in any circle.

She can like Shen Jingyan, and so can others.

But Qi Mingshan knew that Shen Jingyan was not single, so he obviously didn't take her seriously by being so aggressive.

As both women, Ning Xi could somewhat see Qi Mingshan's attentiveness to Shen Jingyan, and asked, Ran Ran, do you know that woman?

know!

Feeling uncomfortable, Lin Ran's tone changed slightly.

Ning Xi could tell that she was unhappy.

Also, her boyfriend has never shown her face on such an occasion, and there are other women trying to trick him, so she can't even get in. If it were her, she wouldn't be happy either.

Ning Xi turned to the security guard and said, Brother, do you know Shen Jingyan, the president of Shengshi Group? He is my friend's boyfriend, and we went in to find him.

Suddenly, the security guard's eyes changed when he looked at Ning Xi and Lin Ran, and he said with more contempt: I have never heard that Mr. Shen has a girlfriend! This is not a place where you can have a good relationship with others. The two of them know each other in there, no Even if you don’t have an invitation, you can’t go in!

In places where the powerful are concentrated, there are always some people who want to squeeze into their circle and try their best to find people to have relationships with. The security guards regarded Ning Xi and Lin Ran as such people and refused to let them in.

Although what the security guard said was unpleasant, you couldn't blame him for thinking so. She had not been publicly acknowledged by Shen Jingyan, and no one else knew her. Lin Ran's eyes were still on Shen Jingyan, hoping that he would look towards the door and see her, but no, Shen Jingyan never looked in her direction, and left from the exit as if he had something to do.

Qi Mingshan, who was originally standing next to Shen Jingyan, still had a smile on her face after Shen Jingyan left, but she was actually a little frustrated. Her family background, appearance and education were all first-class. In front of Shen Jingyan, these advantages had no effect at all. When Chen Yaru introduced her to him, his eyes did not stay on her face for a while.

Turning around to talk to Chen Yaru, Qi Mingshan's eyes inadvertently passed by the door. Qi Mingshan suddenly noticed that there was a very familiar person standing outside the door. She immediately looked over and saw Lin Ran there. The security guard was standing in front of Lin Ran, as if he was blocking her from entering.

Qi Mingshan smiled disdainfully.

To put it nicely, Lin Ran is Shen Jingyan's girlfriend.

What's worse is that, as Chen Yaru said, she is just a woman who meets Shen Jingyan's physiological needs.

No status or identity whatsoever!

Qi Mingshan whispered: Auntie, Lin Ran is here too.

Upon hearing Lin Ran's name, Chen Yaru looked around reflexively.

She went to her son's house before and warned Lin Ran. She was on guard against Lin Ran making trouble for her son to disclose her identity.

Seeing Lin Ran, Chen Yaru said a few words to the waiter next to her.

Then, the waiter walked towards the door.

Unable to get inside, Shen Jingyan also left, so Ning Xi wanted to go home with Lin Ran.

Unexpectedly, a waiter came over and said to the security guard who had been blocking them : They are friends of Ms. Chen Yaru. Please let them in.

Upon hearing this, the security guard immediately let him go.

Ning Xi didn't know Chen Yaru, so she thought Lin Ran had an acquaintance there, so she asked , Ran Ran, are you a friend?

Lin Ran endured the last humiliation.

When she met Chen Yaru and Qi Mingshan this time, she didn't want to cause any trouble for herself, You go in and find the director, I'll go home.

...

Before Ning Xi could ask why, Lin Ran left.

At the same time, Chen Yaru and Qi Mingshan also walked out.

Lin Ran walked a little faster and wanted to leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yaru's voice sounded from behind.

Ms. Lin, since you're here, why don't you go in? Do you want to come here in vain?

Chen Yaru was smiling, but without listening carefully, it was difficult to detect contempt and ridicule in her words.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to attack the enemy, Qi Mingshan likes it best and helps: Auntie just saw that you couldn't come in, so she specifically asked the waiter to ask the security guard to let you in. Why don't you say thank you to auntie?

It's called helping, but it's actually humiliating her. She's in a different world from theirs. She can't even enter the places where they go freely .

Lin Ran clenched his palms and endured.

Ning Xi didn't go in without Lin Ran.

Hearing what the two women who were surrounding Shen Jingyan said to Lin Ran were a bit strange, she immediately returned to Lin Ran and asked, Do you two know our Ran Ran?

Chen Yaru glanced at Ning Xi : Miss Lin was also a celebrity before. Knowing her, it's not surprising.

Chen Yaru emphasized the word star, looking at Lin Ran with a hint of contempt.

Ning Xi heard a bit of sarcasm and wanted to know who these two women were. Before she could say anything, Lin Ran took her hand and walked into the elevator.

It was quiet in the small elevator.

Ning Xi felt Lin Ran's unhappiness : Ran Ran, who are those two women?

The older one is Shen Jingyan's mother! Lin Ran covered his uncomfortable heart and tried his best to control his emotions.

Ning Xi was surprised and then got angry for Lin Ran : Why is Shen Jingyan's mother like this? Speak up...

There was a ringtone coming from the satchel. Lin Ran asked Ning Xi to stop talking and took out his phone to take a look.

The screen showed a call from Shen Jingyan. She was probably angry at being humiliated by his mother in public. She didn't control her emotions well and was a little angry at him. So, she hung up the phone on Shen Jingyan for the first time.

Seeing Lin Ran hanging up Shen Jingyan's phone, Ning Xi wanted to applaud her.

Men just can’t be spoiled!

Chapter 4 Lying

On the road, a Rolls Royce was driving.

After Shen Jingyan attended the business banquet, Wu Kuncheng, as his assistant, drove back to Shen's house

Suddenly, a chill came from behind.

Wu Kuncheng couldn't help but shudder and silently glanced at the rearview mirror.

In the mirror, Shen Jingyan's usually indifferent face seemed to have an extra layer of ice at this moment.

Wu Kuncheng has been working at Shengshi Group for twenty years. After climbing to the position of assistant to the chairman, as soon as the chairman handed over the group affairs to Shen Jingyan, he was also transferred to become the assistant to the president.

Having been Shen Jingyan's assistant for six years, he still doesn't fully understand Shen Jingyan. At most, he can guess a little more about Shen Jingyan's thoughts than others. There were many times when he tried to figure it out but couldn't figure it out. For example, right now, he couldn't figure out why Shen Jingyan's breath suddenly turned cold and his whole person became gloomy.

Shen Jingyan raised his eyes and met the eyes of Wu Kuncheng who was looking at him.

As the cold eyes swept over him, Wu Kuncheng quickly pretended that he hadn't peeked at Shen Jingyan just now and concentrated on driving.

Shen Jingyan ordered coldly: Call Lin Ran and ask her to come to Shen's house tonight.

Yes, Mr. Shen!

Wu Kuncheng didn't dare to waste a moment, immediately parked the car on the side of the road and called Lin Ran.

At the same time, Lin Ran, who had just stepped out of the hotel elevator, heard another call coming. When he saw it was Wu Kuncheng, he hung up without thinking.

Hello, the number you dialed is currently on a call!

The mechanical and sweet female voice rang in his ears, and Wu Kuncheng didn't think Lin Ran was on the phone.

The call was connected just now. After a while, the female voice reminded him that the call was on.

Even a fool would have guessed that the phone was hung up!

Wu Kuncheng rarely contacted Lin Ran, but Lin Ran contacted him mostly. Every time he contacted her, he would either inform her to go to Shen's house or inform her to go to Shen's house. It was the first time in his history that he called her, but she hung up. He doubted himself whether he had dialed the wrong number.

How could Lin Ran hang up the phone on him?

Wu Kuncheng hurriedly called a second time.

After receiving another call from Wu Kuncheng, Lin Ran was in a bad mood and wanted to hang up.

But considering that Wu Kuncheng was Shen Jingyan's assistant, she gave her cell phone to Ning Xi: Answer the call for me and say I'm sleeping.

Ning Xi answered the phone for her without asking a question: Hello, hello!

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Wu Kuncheng quickly put down his phone.

Seeing that the number belonged to Lin Ran, he did not doubt his life: Hello! I am Wu Kuncheng, Mr. Shen's assistant. Who are you, Miss Lin? What is she doing?

Mr. Shen’s assistant?

Shen Jingyan’s people!

Ning Xi said based on what Lin Ran said: I am her good friend Ning Xi, she is sleeping.

Wu Kuncheng has been in contact with Lin Ran for so long, and he knows her well. She has nothing to do. If she doesn't get along with Mr. Shen, she just stays at home alone and spends more time sleeping than ordinary people. Please help me wake her up. , tell her, Mr. Shen tells her to go to the Shen family."

Okay, I'll tell you.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Kuncheng immediately reported to Shen Jingyan.

Shen Jingyan didn't react at all, just glanced at him coldly.

At this glance, Wu Kuncheng felt uneasy.

Is Shen always dissatisfied with his approach?

Out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally glanced at the mobile phone held by Shen Jingyan. Wu Kuncheng recalled that just before Mr. Shen asked him to call Lin Ran, Mr. Shen seemed to be calling someone with his mobile phone.

Was it for Lin Ran?

He didn't get through, so you asked him to call?

***

Ning Xi told Lin Ran exactly what Wu Kuncheng said.

I just returned to my home yesterday and was called to Shen's house today. Lin Ran was not so narcissistic that she didn't see her for a day. Shen Jingyan missed her. He asked her to go to his house for only one reason: to find her to satisfy his physical needs.

Shen Jingyan has great needs, but he has very strong self-control. When he travels for too long, she never worries that he will look for women outside. Because he is not the kind of man who likes to waste time on women. If he had that time, he would have used it to make more money.

In the past, whenever he had a need, she would satisfy him.

Tonight, she had no interest.

After thinking for a while, Lin Ran said to Ning Xi: Wait a minute, call Wu Kuncheng back and tell him that I am too tired to get up and I won't go to Shen's house tonight.

Lin Ran didn't answer Shen Jingyan's call, but Ning Xi still felt normal.

Assistant Shen Jingyan called her to go to Shen's house, but she didn't go. Ning Xi looked at her as if she was looking at something strange, Are you still the Lin Ran I know? You wish you could stay with Shen Jingyan every day, and people are looking for you. , you went there all the time, why don’t you go tonight?

Lin Ran didn't want to go back, so after thinking about it again, he decided to go over: Forget it, I won't go back with you, I'll go to the Shen family.

... Ning Xi laughed dryly, This is the Lin Ran I know!

With that said, Ning Xi opened the car door, let Lin Ran in, and sent her to Shen's house.

In addition to being good friends with Lin Ran, Ning Xi is also a loyal fan of hers. All the music in the car is downloaded from Lin Ran's songs. Playing a pure music piece she wrote a long time ago, Ning Xi turned to look at her with a sad face, guessing what she was worried about, and asked: Are you thinking about Shen Jingyan's mother?

Lin Ran was thinking about Chen Yaru: When she first met me, she told me to break up with Jing Yan, and the words she said were even worse than what she said today!

It's clear that I just look down on you and want you to quit before you get into trouble. I deliberately spoke so unpleasantly.

I know.

Shen Jingyan doesn't like you, so he can keep you by his side. His mother doesn't like you, but she won't keep you by his side. Do you think about how to deal with it? Ning Xi has been in the entertainment industry for so long, and has more social experience than Lin Ranzu, plus Lin Ran, had closed the world directly for the past six years and lived in his own world. She was worried that Lin Ran wouldn't be able to deal with Chen Yaru.

He doesn't have a good relationship with his mother. After all, he was not raised by his mother. He...

Lin Ran had no confidence, and she didn't know how to deal with Chen Yaru.

Chen Yaru wanted to embarrass her, but she couldn't have any conflicts with her, just stay away, that's all!

Ning Xi said: Your most critical problem is that Shen Jingyan doesn't like you. As long as he likes you, nothing will happen to you! Chen Yaru 90% knows that her son doesn't like you, so she would say unpleasant things to you without any scruples. !

That's not true. I'm still working hard.

Ning Xi sighed: I can't understand why you hanged yourself on Shen Jingyan's crooked tree.

Lin Ran corrected: He is not a crooked-necked tree!

Then he's not a good person either!

... Lin Ran turned his head and ignored Ning Xi.

The car drove into the villa area, and under Lin Ran's command, Ning Xi slowly stopped in front of Shen's house.

Lin Ran walked into Shen's house as soon as he got off the car.

On the first floor of the house, Wu Kuncheng and the housekeeper were standing together, not knowing what they were talking about.

Seeing her coming, Wu Kuncheng was about to say the words to urge her to go upstairs when he realized that she was dressed up today. Her long black hair was pulled up, she had exquisite makeup, and she was wearing a set of expensive jewelry and a big-name dress.

Wu Kuncheng has been married for many years and has seen that it takes a long time for his wife to dress up carefully.

So far, an hour has passed since he called Lin Ran.

From Lin Ran's house to Shen's house, it takes less than an hour if there is no traffic jam.

The little time left was not enough for Lin Ran to dress up!

Wu Kuncheng was suspicious of Ning Xi's statement that Lin Ran was sleeping, but whether Ning Xi was lying or why Lin Ran didn't answer his and Mr. Shen's calls was none of his business. Ms. Lin, Mr. Shen is in his bedroom. Go up and find him.

Lin Ran nodded and went upstairs.

Walking to Shen Jingyan's bedroom door, she knocked on the door.

Within a few seconds, Shen Jingyan opened the door and appeared in front of her.

Her bright smile hadn't bloomed yet, but Shen Jingyan was staring at her with a frown on his face, his eyes a little penetrating.

Lin Ran didn't know why.

After scanning her from head to toe, Shen Jingyan's face became colder: What were you doing when I called you? Who were you with?

Thinking of the lies he had told, Lin Ran continued without blushing and without a beating heart: Sleep at home, with Ning Xi.

Who sleeps in a tux?

After listening to Shen Jingyan's words, Lin Ran remembered that Ning Xi's stylist helped her dress up before she went out.

In this state, no one would believe her when she said she was sleeping at home.

No wonder, when she first walked in, Wu Kuncheng looked hesitant to speak.

Lin Ran smiled covertly: Ning Xi and I went out. When we came back, we were so tired that we went to bed without taking off our makeup and changing clothes.

Shen Jingyan raised his hand and touched her hair gently: Who gave you a hair style? The effect is good, and it is not messy at all when you sleep.

...

Shen Jingyan didn't directly say that she was lying, which made Lin Ran feel embarrassed.

However, his mother had humiliated her twice in a row. She didn't do anything bad, she just didn't want to come here and made a little fuss. She should be embarrassed if she needed it.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran was not embarrassed by being exposed for lying: Yes, Ning Xi's stylist is well paid and has very good skills.

Yes, you wear good makeup too. Today's lipstick suits you very well!

After saying that, Shen Jingyan lifted her chin and kissed her red lips fiercely.

The kiss came unexpectedly, and Shen Jingyan plundered fiercely. Lin Ran felt a little suffocated at first, but after a while, it got better.

But Shen Jingyan wants more than just a kiss!

Clothes were gradually scattered on the ground, and the two of them moved from the door to the bed...

After staying at home for a long time, Lin Ran didn't exercise much, her physical fitness was extremely average, and she was a bit sub-healthy. Shen Jingyan continued to need time every day, which she couldn't bear.

Tonight, Shen Jingyan didn't know what was going on. He seemed to be deliberately torturing her. He was a little rougher than before, and it seemed to be a bit punishing. She didn't know what was going on with him. When she couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to resist, Shen Jingyan restrained her with his backhand, so she had to let him go.

In the end, she almost became hoarse and cried for mercy before he was willing to let her go.

––––––––

Chapter 5 Contempt

Shen Jingyan tortured her so hard that Lin Ran fell into a deep sleep.

However, the next day, she was still awakened by Shen Jingyan's sound of getting up.

Not getting over the exhaustion from last night and finding it difficult to fall asleep again, she got up unhappily and lost her usual smile when treating Shen Jingyan.

The two of them sat facing each other and had breakfast. Lin Ran hung his head with a gloomy look on his face and ate one bite at a time, as if he had forgotten that the person opposite was Shen Jingyan.

After Shen Jingyan finished eating and had to go to work, she raised her head and watched him leave.

The whole time, not a word was said.

She didn't say goodbye to him with a bright smile like before and looked forward to his return in the evening.

Yes, she was in the mood.

However, Shen Jingyan didn't care at all.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran felt heartbroken.

***

Arriving at Shen's house on time, Wu Kuncheng waited for almost twenty minutes before seeing Shen Jingyan come out.

This has never happened before.

Wu Kuncheng subconsciously looked at Shen Jingyan's face, which was cold and his thin lips were pursed tightly.

In an instant, he swallowed back his greetings and silently lowered his sense of presence.

When they got to the car, Wu Kuncheng couldn't help but talk.

There was an executive meeting in the morning, and he needed to report the situation to Shen Jingyan.

Wu Kuncheng reported carefully while observing Shen Jingyan's expression.

After it was finally over, he just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.

Shen Jingyan, who was sitting in the back seat, opened his thin lips slightly: Who has Lin Ran been dating recently?

Before Lin Ran and Shen Jingyan dated, Wu Kuncheng almost didn't find out the eighteenth generation of Lin Ran's ancestors. All this information was given to Shen Jingyan. After quitting the entertainment industry, Lin Ran's interpersonal relationships were quite simple. In City S, she basically interacted with the same few people. In six years, she had no new acquaintances.

When asked, Wu Kuncheng didn't dare to fool him: Currently, we haven't found that Ms. Lin has made any new friends.

Shen Jingyan's eyes were slightly cold and he ordered: Check where she went last night?

Wu Kuncheng seemed to understand something.

Before Lin Ran came to Shen's house last night, he was not sleeping at home, and he could tell.

There is no reason why Mr. Shen can’t see it!

Wu Kuncheng said: Yes, Mr. Shen!

***

He didn't get enough sleep at Shen's house, so Lin Ran naturally went back to his own home to catch up on his sleep.

Ning Xi was about to go to the film and television company to hold a script seminar. When she saw her coming back, she asked, I'm going to have a script seminar today. Do you want to accompany me? Can I learn about the script by the way?

Lin Ran waved his hand and refused: I'm too tired, I won't go!

Although she is single now, Ning Xi can still see why Lin Ran is so tired after a night, I asked you to fall in love! You have to spend time with your man at night!

I don't want to accompany you either.

You don't want to accompany me, but you still go! Ning Xi despised: My mother speaks so unpleasantly, but you still go to accompany her, you have no future!

Lin Ran was unhappy to begin with, and became even more unhappy when Ning Xi said it.

I will fly to H City to film in a few days . You must accompany me to the meeting today to get to know the producer. Ning Xi dragged Lin Ran to the film and television company, In our circle, we need human resources, you You really need to get out more and move around more and build good relationships with people!

I am already financially free. If I don't write songs and make some investments, I won't starve to death.

What if the investment fails? Do you plan to go out in the future? Ning Xi is a person with a strong sense of crisis. There are no flowers in the entertainment industry, and the same goes for musicians. Who can guarantee that what he creates will last forever? To be liked by the audience, you need to accumulate more capital while you are still young.

Please, hope I get better, don't curse me!

Be prepared for a rainy day, understand?

On the way, Ning Xi looked down upon Lin Ran.

Lin Ran couldn't talk to Ning Xi, so he had to keep silent.

As soon as she arrived at her destination, Ning Xi changed her image in front of Lin Ran. When she met someone, no matter whether she knew them or not, she would smile first, striving to perfect her image and prevent others from seeing her crumbling image.

As soon as the door of the conference room opened, Ning Xi found that there were a lot of people
