The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Such an eye-catching headline would make anyone subconsciously assume that Shen Yanran is a gold digger who married into a wealthy family and is disrespectful to her parents.

Wenqian was so angry she wanted to drag the person who wrote this article out of her phone and beat them up!

He's completely brainless! He didn't even bother to investigate whether the article was true before he dared to publish it without permission. Let her see which media outlet has such audacity!

Wen Qian opened the link and glanced at the content. Apart from the names being correct, not a single word was true. She wondered who gave them this confidence to write such nonsense about Shengtian International's articles. Were they tired of living?

Wenqian saw the article on a WeChat public account called "Da Yule" (Big Entertainment), which she had never heard of before.

Looking back at their previous posts, almost all of them were just generic or overused inspirational quotes, with readership not even exceeding a thousand.

However, the article exposing Shen Yanran has already garnered over 10 views, and it's estimated that it will soon exceed one million. Regardless of whether the story is true or false, it will have a significant impact on Shen Yanran.

Her best friend had only recently found her own happiness, so why did she have to suffer like this?

Someone must have deliberately framed her!

When Shen Yanran came out of the bathroom, she saw Wen Qian looking at her phone with a worried expression, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong, Wen Qian? Why do you look so pale all of a sudden?"

Upon hearing the sound, Wenqian immediately put her phone back in her bag and pretended nothing had happened, saying, "Ah, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired from standing for so long. Let's go to the dessert shop up ahead to rest."

Shen Yanran didn't think too much about it and nodded, "Okay, that's fine, I'm a little thirsty anyway."

Wenqian didn't want her to get angry over something so baseless when she was in such a good mood, so as her best friend, it was time to step in.

Upon arriving at the dessert shop, while Shen Yanran was ordering from the waiter, Wen Qian immediately asked a friend in the industry to check who owned the WeChat public account called "Da Yu Le" and who wrote the articles.

In fact, it wasn't just Wenqian who noticed this article; anyone with a bit of a gossip sense would have noticed it.

This is much more interesting than entertainment news.

Ordinary people love to read news about these kinds of feuds between wealthy families.

While Wen Qian waited anxiously, the desserts Shen Yanran ordered arrived. Because she couldn't eat anything too cold and had to avoid certain foods, most of the desserts Wen Qian liked were ordered.

She only ordered one slice of matcha cake and apple juice.

But Wenqian's mind wasn't on food at all; she was glued to her phone.

Seeing that Wen Qian didn't even glance at the dessert and was only focused on playing on her phone, Shen Yanran whispered a reminder, "Wen Qian, your favorite chilled mango sago pudding is here. If you don't eat it soon, it will melt and won't taste good anymore."

Wenqian then came to her senses and said, "Okay, I'll eat now."

Although she was eating, her mind was still on her phone, and her eyes never left the screen.

Shen Yanran found it strange, "Wenqian, are you busy with something?"

Afraid that Shen Yanran would become suspicious, Wen Qian quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, it's so late at night, what could I possibly be doing? Let's eat, and then we can buy a gift for Brother Xiao."

But Shen Yanran still felt that something seemed to be wrong with her.

About half an hour later, the two had almost finished eating, and Shen Yanran continued to pick out gifts for Xiao Jinghao, finally stopping at a jewelry store.

For her, jewelry is still the most familiar thing.

The shop assistant could tell at a glance that Shen Yanran and Wen Qian had an elegant demeanor and were dressed in high-end clothes, so they must be big buyers. Therefore, she greeted them warmly, "Hello, ladies, welcome to Alice Jewelry. What can I help you with?"

Shen Yanran glanced around at the jewelry displays in the store, then asked in a calm voice, "I'd like a men's tie clip. Do you have any?"

"Yes, please come this way." The sales assistant led Shen Yanran and Wen Qian to an exquisite and luxurious counter, pointing to the various tie clips in the glass case and introducing them: "These are all our new styles this season. Are they for your boyfriend?"

If it's a gift for her boyfriend, she can directly recommend the most expensive one, and her sales performance could immediately jump to number one.

"No, I want to give this to my very good brother. Could you take this out for me so I can take a look?" Shen Yanran explained, pointing to a platinum piece with sapphires in the display case.

The shop assistant glanced at the one Shen Yanran was pointing to. Although it wasn't the most valuable one in the store, it was still a classic style, and the price was a zero lower.

She felt a little disappointed, but still politely took out the one Shen Yanran had chosen and showed it to her. "Okay, miss, this is a classic style in our store. Many beautiful women buy it as a gift for their relatives and friends, and it's not expensive. Please take a look."

Shen Yanran didn't choose this style because of its price; she simply felt that the design was simple, elegant, and classic, which suited Xiao Dage's somewhat aloof temperament.

Moreover, the most important thing about her gifts is the sentiment, not the price.

Shen Yanran took a look and decided to buy it. "Okay, this is it. Could you wrap it up for me? I'll pay by card."

The sales clerk thought Shen Yanran would take a long time to look before buying, but she swiped her card so quickly. It was the fastest customer she had ever served in her career, and it seemed like the whole process took less than five minutes.

The shop assistant said happily, "Okay, customer, please wait a moment."

Wen Qian kept her head down, looking at her phone. When she looked up, Shen Yanran had already paid. She quickly followed her and asked, "Are you done shopping?"

Shen Yanran didn't know what Wen Qian had been busy with all night, but she didn't want to say, so she didn't ask. "Okay, let's go."

No sooner had the two stepped out of the jewelry store than Wenqian's phone rang.

She glanced at Shen Yanran subconsciously. "Yanran, I have a phone call to take. Why don't you go ahead and find a place to sit and wait for me?"

Shen Yanran had no objection. "Yes, no rush, take your time."

After Shen Yanran left, Wen Qian immediately answered the phone. She probably didn't expect that man to call her. "Gao Yufeng, is there something you need?"

As soon as the call connected, Gao Yufeng asked anxiously, "Wenqian, is Yanran with you? Did she see that article?"

"What does this have to do with you?" Wenqian asked him retorted with great dissatisfaction. She didn't understand why Gao Yufeng was calling her at this time.

Gao Yufeng ignored Wen Qian's unpleasant tone and continued to express his concern: "Wen Qian, don't be like this. I just wanted to check on Yanran. That report was obviously fabricated by someone. I've already had someone investigate. It was pushed by an unknown small website that hired online trolls. But don't worry, I'll take care of it for Yanran."

Without even thinking, Wen Qian retorted sarcastically, "Are you sick, Gao Yufeng? What does Yanran's matter have to do with you? She has a husband, why should you care?"

Gao Yufeng explained with a slightly somber expression, "I know this has nothing to do with me, but it concerns Yanran. I can't pretend I didn't see anything or that nothing happened. I just wanted to help her, that's all."

"If you don't mean anything by it, then what do you mean? You don't care when you should, and you care when you shouldn't. You were blind to all the grievances and hardships Yanran suffered when she was with you. You didn't even care about her life. Now you stand up like a human being and shamelessly show concern for Yanran. How dare you say that? What, do you think she's too good and too happy, and you're here to upset her?" Wen Qian was furious when she thought of the inhuman things Gao Yufeng had done in the past, and she started cursing.

Gao Yufeng frowned unhappily and said in a deep voice, "Wenqian, please don't say such harsh things. Yes, I know I have wronged Yanran in many ways in the past, but I was deceived by Shen Yufei's hypocritical appearance. I was also a victim."

Wen Qian sneered disdainfully, "Gao Yufeng, give me a break. You're a scumbag, so just admit it. It's not interesting to push all the blame onto Shen Yufei."

A scumbag is a scumbag. He can't control his own lust and then blames others for deceiving him. How dare he say that?

She too, it was unnecessary to answer this call.

To be honest, if Wenqian hadn't considered the remaining connections between her parents and the Gao family patriarch, she would have blocked Gao Yufeng, that scumbag, long ago.

Gao Yufeng's voice unconsciously carried a hint of heaviness as he said, "Wenqian, I know you have a problem with me. I don't care what you say or say about me in the future, but right now Yanran is the most important person. Please let me help her out."

"Gao Yufeng, that's enough! I didn't answer your call to listen to your nonsense. I just wanted to tell you something: belated affection is worthless. So you don't need to act like you're still hung up on Yanran. It's unnecessary. From now on, no matter what happens to Yanran, you don't need to worry about it. Just go do what you need to do!" After saying everything she wanted to say, Wen Qian hung up the phone. She really couldn't be bothered with this kind of "Monday morning quarterback."

After scolding Gao Yufeng, Wen Qian's depressed mood finally improved a bit.

However, she hadn't forgotten about the WeChat public account. Just as she was about to contact the people at Da Entertainment and ask them to delete the article immediately, she suddenly discovered that the article had already disappeared, and even the related searches were gone.

Wen Qian had no idea who helped resolve the issue, and how quickly they did it. Could it really have been Gao Yufeng?

She lowered her head and thought about it carefully. It couldn't be him. They had just hung up the phone. He couldn't have acted so quickly. Besides, she didn't believe he had the ability to suppress such explosive public opinion.

But soon, Wenqian figured out who had done it.

It's estimated that no one in this world, except for Li Zhanting, would pay attention to Shen Yanran's situation immediately and then quietly resolve all the problems so that she wouldn't have any worries.
