Chapter 112 - 112 Framed
112 Framed
When Wen Yu and Ji Wenfeng heard this, they immediately felt that something was wrong.
They looked at Shi Ran at the same time.
“Sure.” Shi Ran did not refuse.
“You can only talk alone?” Wen Yu asked with a frown.
Although she had said last night that she would not fuss about it…
Shi Ran’s combat strength was really remarkable.
If she attacked Fei Fei during the conversation, she would not be able to make it in time even if she waited outside.
“Brother, it’s fine.” Wen Yufei smiled and comforted him.
Seeing that Wen Yufei insisted, Wen Yu sighed helplessly. “Alright, call me if there’s anything. I’ll be nearby.”
As he spoke, he looked at Shi Ran warily.
In the blink of an eye, everyone retreated.
Fang Tongtong, who was the last to leave, did not forget to close the door.
Wen Yufei sat on the sofa with an upright posture and smiled at Shi Ran. “Sit.”
Shi Ran was not angry at her behavior.
She sat down casually.
Wen Yufei looked around the lounge. “The lounge has your style.”
“It’s fine.”
“At that time, when my father dismissed you, did you go to beg Jinchen? Is that why he was willing to help you?” Wen Yufei smiled at Shi Ran.
However, this smile did not look friendly.
“What are you trying to say?” Shi Ran did not want to beat around the bush.
“I was almost kidnapped last night. Do you know who the culprit is?”
Shi Ran supported her cheek with her hand and remained silent.
Wen Yufei did not intend to let Shi Ran answer.
Her gaze was distant as her lips curled into a gentle smile. “Since I was young, I’ve had a dream of marrying Jinchen and becoming his bride.”
“From the moment I was conscious of things around me, the people around me told me that I was to marry into the Chu Family when I grew up and become Jinchen’s bride.”
“At first, I was unwilling. I didn’t know him. Why should I be his bride!”
“I met him on my eighth birthday. Mother told me that my future groom was coming over that day.”
“I saw him. With that one look, I found my dream.”
“He looks kind and gentlemanly, but he’s actually very distant from the people around him, including me.”
“But it doesn’t matter. I firmly believe that as long as I’m with him, he’ll look at me one day.”
“So I tried my best to study all kinds of socialite courses so that I could stand beside him one day.”
Wen Yufei lowered her head, and the smile on her lips became bitter. “I thought that this day would really come, but you appeared.”
“He actually asked someone to kidnap me to avenge you. He knew very well that I would be afraid, but he still did it.”
At this moment, Shi Ran was not interested in the story between Wen Yufei and Chu Jinchen at all.
However, Wen Yufei’s last sentence piqued her interest.
“So were you the one who kidnapped me?” she asked.
Wen Yufei’s long eyelashes trembled slightly as an alarm rang in her heart.
She did not expect Shi Ran to be so rational. She could even take the opportunity to probe her at this time.
“It wasn’t me.” She sighed helplessly. “But because of you, Jinchen blamed my father and me.”
Shi Ran smiled faintly.
She did not expose her.
Wen Yufei looked at Shi Ran and smiled confidently. “Actually, I don’t take you seriously.”
“Oh?” Shi Ran replied lazily, extremely perfunctory.
“Even if you and Jinchen get together one day, it’s impossible for you to enter the Chu Family.”
“Not to mention that you’re just an adopted daughter with an unknown background, even if you’re really the daughter of the Shi Family, you’re still not worthy of Grandpa’s attention.”
“From the moment we were born, my marriage with Jinchen was already destined.”
“The old fortune-teller said that if he doesn’t marry me before the age of thirty, he’ll die an unnatural death.”
“Do you think a person values love more than their own life?”
“He’ll still marry me sooner or later.”
Shi Ran raised her eyebrows. “You’re actually so confident? Then why are you looking for me?”
Wen Yufei’s expression froze.
She tightened her grip on her skirt and pretended to be calm. “I’m here to talk to you on a condition.”
“Let’s hear it.”
“I want you to withdraw from the recording of ‘Love Warning’!”
Seeing that Shi Ran did not answer immediately.
She continued to lobby, “The reason why you participated in the ensemble was to clear your name and increase your reputation.”
“I can provide you with high-quality resources and let you become famous in the entertainment industry, but I only have one condition. Leave Jinchen!”
Her lips curled up. “You think that as long as I leave him, he’ll marry you?”
“Of course!” Wen Yufei said confidently. “If not for your appearance, he would have liked me sooner or later.”
“According to what you just said, you’ve known him for 16 years, right? Then did he fall for you?” Shi Ran asked.
Wen Yufei’s face turned pale.
Then, she suddenly looked at Shi Ran with a ferocious expression.
“Shi Ran! You’re telling me so much because you’re unwilling to leave Jinchen, right?!”
“You just want to marry into a rich family and transform into a phoenix! Stop dreaming. No one will believe that you can get together with Jinchen!”
She stood up and looked down at him. She gritted her teeth and said, “You don’t want to lose your life because of a man, right?”
This was already a blatant threat.
Shi Ran sneered. “You’ve revealed your true colors?”
“Shi Ran, my engagement with Jinchen is not only related to the interests of the two families, but also to Jinchen’s life.”
“Just based on this, the Chu Family won’t tolerate you. If Jinchen continues to be stubborn, the Wen Family won’t be the only one who wants to kill you.”
“You survived last night because my father underestimated you. But what will happen after that? Do you think you’ll still be so lucky?”
“The Shi Family treats you like an ingrate. In front of the Wen Family, no matter what, you’re just an ant. Between an ant and an elephant, who do you think can win?”
“Is that so?” Shi Ran smiled meaningfully.
In the next second, she stood up and grabbed Wen Yufei’s slender neck with her right hand.
Her movements were so fast that Wen Yufei did not even react.
Wen Yufei’s eyes widened in fear.
She wanted to scream, but she had already retracted her hand.
She gritted her teeth. “What do you want?”
At this moment, Shi Ran crossed her arms and said indifferently, “You’re not even an ant after leaving the Wen Family. It’s easy for me to kill you.”
“Is that so?” Wen Yufei smiled sinisterly. “Then let’s give it a try and see if everyone will choose you or me in the end.”
With that, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped her own face.
“Pa—”
It was a crisp and loud slap.
Wen Yufei’s cheeks quickly turned red.
Then, she fell in the direction of the table. Her entire body hit the table, and her stomach hit the edge.
The cup on the table fell to the ground with a clang.
There were anxious footsteps outside.
The lounge door opened.
Wen Yu, Ji Wenfeng, and Fang Tongtong arrived one after another.
Wen Yufei’s face was pale, and the bright red palm print on her cheek was especially obvious.
At this moment, she was lying on the table in pain, her hand tightly holding her stomach as she looked at Shi Ran in disbelief.
On the other hand, Shi Ran’s clothes were neat, and she stood at the side as if she was uninvolved.
At first glance, this scene looked like she had slapped Wen Yufei and pushed her away.
