The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

The murmurs in the banquet hall grew louder, and almost everyone watched coldly from the sidelines, but no one was willing to step forward to help.

In fact, someone could easily step forward and play the hero to save the damsel in distress in this situation.

Saving a beauty is fine, but nobody wants to get into trouble like Zhou Chengkun.

His family owns a coal mine, so they're obviously rich. But the Zhou family isn't just rich; they're also said to have a lot of connections in the underworld.

It is said that it is better to offend a gentleman than a petty person. In this day and age, of course, it is best to mind one's own business.

"It really is that young master Zhou from Zhou's Mining. Which beauty has he set his sights on this time, and he's pursuing her, isn't he? But you know what, that woman is really pretty, and the outfit she's wearing... my girlfriend showed it to me on her phone before, it seems to be some kind of Chanel limited edition, and she insists I buy it for her..." The man said with a helpless expression.

"Wow, it's a limited edition worldwide, it's worth a fortune, are you willing to spend that much?" someone joked.

"Of course I'm willing to spend..." the man said generously, then chuckled, "Because even if you have the money, you can't buy those clothes. There are only about 10 pieces in total... I heard even European royalty couldn't get them..."

Why can Shen Yanran wear clothes that money can't buy with such confidence?

Sometimes Shen Yufei really couldn't understand what was so good about Shen Yanran, a cold and boring woman, and why that mysterious man was willing to pamper her so much.

Suddenly, an extremely displeased and mocking voice rang in Shen Yufei's ears, "Isn't that Shen Yanran? How dare she attend such a high-class charity gala?" At that moment, a woman dressed...

Shen Yufei looked over at the sound and saw a woman with glamorous makeup and fashionable attire frowning and shaking her head repeatedly.

She was worried that Ye Shasha had been in the police station for a few days and didn't know who to turn to, but she actually met the best candidate here: her college roommate Chen Jiao.

I always followed her lead during college, but I lost contact with her temporarily after she married a foreigner last year. I never expected to meet her here as soon as I returned to China.

Shen Yufei immediately feigned surprise and said, "Jiaojiao, is that you? We haven't seen each other in so long!"

Chen Jiao was overjoyed to run into her best friend from university so soon after returning to China. "Feifei! What a coincidence to see you here! How have you been lately?"

Shen Yufei, her face flushed, took Gao Yufeng's arm, a happy expression on her lips, and said softly, "Brother Feng and I are doing very well."

As she said this, she noticed that Gao Yufeng's gaze was fixed on Shen Yanran. She gritted her teeth in anger, but put on a kind and understanding expression. "Brother Feng, it seems that my sister is in trouble. Should we go and help her?"

Gao Yufeng had also heard others mention Zhou Chengkun, a typical good-for-nothing who idled away his days and flirted with beautiful women everywhere. None of those he targeted ended up well.

Even though Shen Yanran had broken off their engagement and was a woman he no longer wanted, he would never allow another man to bully her. Moreover, she was Shen Yufei's sister. Even if not for himself, he should step in to stop this farce for the sake of his woman.

“Okay, I’ll go take a look…” Gao Yufeng agreed almost without hesitation, following Shen Yufei’s suggestion.

Shen Yufei was suddenly stunned, not expecting Gao Yufeng to agree so quickly. Her charming and lovely face turned pale instantly. She bit her full lips with suppressed emotion, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Chen Jiao, who had just reunited with Shen Yufei after a long separation.

Back in college, she was furious that Shen Yanran always bullied the kind and innocent Shen Yufei because of her status as the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Now, not only did she dress so provocatively in front of so many people, but she also openly seduced someone else's boyfriend. Even if Shen Yufei could tolerate it, she couldn't stand it anymore!

Chen Jiao stepped forward and quickly stopped Gao Yufeng, saying, "Mr. Gao, please don't be in such a hurry. Even if you want to help, you should first find out the whole story. Everyone knows what kind of woman Shen Yanran is. They say flies don't land on eggs without cracks. How do you know that she really doesn't want to get involved with the Zhou family's young master, or that she's playing hard to get?"

Is this a tactic of feigning indifference to lure the prey into a trap?

Gao Yufeng's face darkened. Had Shen Yanran really stooped to such a low level?

The thought that had just crossed his mind to help him made him hesitate at this moment...

At this moment, Shen Yanran also noticed that more and more people around them were paying attention to them. She had come here today to look for job opportunities and did not want to get into unnecessary trouble, nor did she want to cause inconvenience to Wen Qian.

She immediately said with a cold expression, "Sir, I don't know you. Please move aside, or I will call security."

"Ha...call security? Even if you call the police, I'm not afraid. To put it bluntly, aren't you dressed like this today just to seduce men and find a sugar daddy? I have plenty of money. As long as you serve me well, I'll have as much as you want!" Zhou Chengkun said arrogantly, his head held high.

"Are you sick in the head? Who cares about your stinking money? I advise you to get as far away from me as possible, or you'll regret it!" Wen Qian thought of Shen Yanran's powerful backer, Li Zhanting, and refused to believe that she couldn't handle Zhou Chengkun, this shameless man.

Zhou Chengkun, relying on his family's wealth, always got whatever he wanted and didn't take anyone seriously. "I'm going to have my way with her today. Let's see who dares to interfere!"

As he spoke, he reached out with a lewd expression and grabbed Shen Yanran's fair and delicate arm. He had already been itching to touch her just by looking at her, and he imagined that it would feel especially good to touch.

But before he could raise his hand, a powerful force twisted it behind his back.

He let out a painful scream and collapsed to his knees, unable to straighten up.

Everyone present was startled and took several steps back in fright.

This was the first time Zhou Chengkun had ever been humiliated like this in his life. He was sweating profusely from the pain and immediately threatened the strange man who had suddenly appeared in front of him: "Do you even know who I am? You dare to hit me? I'll definitely have someone kill you!"

The man was dressed in a high-end, well-tailored black suit and wore sunglasses, making it impossible to see his expression. Only his extremely deep and cold voice could be heard as he said, "You dare to mess with anyone? Don't blame me for your own death!"

"What!" Zhou Chengkun couldn't believe what he was hearing. He wanted to threaten him a few more times, but the stranger grabbed him from the ground and dragged him out of the banquet hall.

By the time the security guards arrived, the man in black had already vanished without a trace with Zhou Chengkun...

As the organizer of this fashion charity gala, the organizer had to step in to calm the chaotic scene. "I'm sorry, distinguished guests, this was just a small incident. I hope you won't mind. Our charity gala is about to begin. Please be patient."

Without waiting for anyone else's opinion, the person in charge of the event rushed to Shen Yanran and Wen Qian, bowed deeply and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, ladies. I'm Zhang Wei, the person in charge of this banquet. I'm sorry you were startled. I hope you can forgive our small mistake. I promise that nothing like this will happen again."

Thinking of the help the stranger had given her earlier, Shen Yanran assumed he was sent by the organizers and seemed quite responsible, so she decided not to pursue the matter further and silently nodded, accepting their apology.

Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, thank you very much. The banquet is about to begin. To express our sincere apologies, we have specially arranged seats for you in the first row. Please follow me."

The first row seats are reserved for top celebrities and business tycoons. A magazine editor like Wen Qian can only sit in the second row at most; she can forget about sitting in the first row.

Wenqian was fairly satisfied with the organizer's arrangements.

However, to their surprise, they had only taken a few steps when they saw Shen Yufei and Gao Yufeng walking towards them from the opposite direction.

Wen Qian narrowed her eyes. What a small world! She had to run into this pair of scoundrels at this time!

He instinctively shielded Shen Yanran behind him, glared at the person opposite him with displeasure, his eyes full of warning.

Shen Yufei seemed to be frightened by Wen Qian's gaze and subtly hid behind Gao Yufeng.

Gao Yufeng frowned, his face darkening. Not wanting to have any conflict with Wen Qian in public, he simply hugged Shen Yufei beside him and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Feifei. With me here, they won't dare to do anything to you."

He dared not do anything to her?

Wen Qian really didn't know where Gao Yufeng got the confidence to say such big words. Had he forgotten how he was beaten up by Li Zhanting back then?

Wen Qian snorted disdainfully twice and then looked at them again.

Shen Yanran stared ahead with a cold and indifferent expression, never intending to pay them any attention.

Gao Yufeng was annoyed by Shen Yanran's indifferent disregard.

In the past, no matter what he said or did, she was always willing to stay by his side. But now she acts like a stranger, and this contrast makes him feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing Shen Yanran up close, he couldn't help but be amazed.

Her fair skin seemed flawless under the light, and her elegant and delicate face, adorned with only light makeup, possessed a unique charm.

Her light blue evening gown accentuated her pure and beautiful appearance, making her impossible to look away from.

Gao Yufeng unconsciously swallowed, then looked at Shen Yanran several times with a complex and profound expression.

Shen Yufei clearly sensed the difference in Gao Zifeng's expression towards Shen Yanran compared to usual. Suppressing her displeasure, she took a few steps towards Shen Yanran, even trying to take her arm, and deliberately feigned sisterly affection, saying, "Sister, I've been looking for you for so long! I never expected to meet you here. You have no idea how much I missed you while you were away from home..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanran's icy eyes were filled with disdain. She glanced indifferently at Shen Yanran's outstretched hands and said in a low voice, "Shen Yufei, I advise you not to forget the pain once the wound has healed. You'd better stay away from me tonight, or it won't be as simple as breaking one of your arms before!"
