The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

How could this young woman's face be so similar to the one he remembered?

If it weren't for the age difference, he would have even thought she was her.

"You... are?" Lin Haiyuan quickly regained his composure and asked sternly.

Actually, Shen Yanran also felt inexplicably familiar with the middle-aged man in front of her, but she was also very certain that she did not know him at all.

Perhaps I'm just overthinking it.

Shen Yanran politely introduced herself: "My name is Shen Yanran, and I am the chief designer of Fairy Jewelry."

Being a jewelry designer seems like a very talented and promising career.

How could he violate professional ethics by deceiving his daughter like that?

At this moment, Lin Xin'er immediately grabbed Lin Haiyuan's arm and said in a coquettish tone, "Dad, she just tricked me into spending 2.5 million on a tie clip. You must teach her a lesson for me."

Her father has always doted on her, and he has always supported and protected her no matter what she says or does.

That lousy designer, let's see how she'll have the nerve to stand there and talk to me in a minute.

Although Lin Haiyuan felt a sense of familiarity and goodwill towards Shen Yanran at first glance, the fact that she had deceived her own daughter was a different matter.

“My daughter has already identified you as the one who deceived her, what else do you have to say?” Lin Haiyuan never doubted that Lin Xin’er was lying.

Shen Yanran had never done anything wrong, so she was naturally not afraid to confront Lin Haiyuan. "Mr. Lin, judging from your clothes, appearance, and demeanor, you should be a successful person with a certain level of judgment. But to conclude that I have made a mistake or broken the law without even knowing the facts is a bit too hasty. I can also sue your daughter for defamation."

Lin Haiyuan frowned and said with displeasure, "Are you implying that my daughter has wronged you?"

Shen Yanran answered with certainty, "That's the truth."

"Okay, then let me ask you, how much does that tie clip you sell cost?"

"Nationwide uniform price, 500,000."

How much did you sell my daughter for?

"Two and a half million."

Lin Haiyuan sneered, "You sold something worth 500,000 yuan to my daughter for five times the price, and you still say it's not deception? Miss Shen, are you taking advantage of my daughter's young age?"

Despite Lin Haiyuan's questioning, Shen Yanran remained calm and said, "No matter how young Miss Lin is, she is still an adult and has the corresponding capacity for action. Moreover, the price of 2.5 million was proposed by her herself, not by us."

"How is that possible?" Lin Haiyuan felt that even if her daughter liked the item very much, she would never pay an extra price to buy it, especially at such a high price as 2.5 million.

Shen Yanran pointed to the people around her and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask the others. They were all there at the time."

Lin Haiyuan scoffed dismissively, "They're all from your shop, so naturally they'll side with your own people. Do you think I'd believe that?"

“I’m not from this store. I think Mr. Lin will believe what I say.” Zhao Qian could have just left with the things, but she felt that Lin Xin’er’s distortion of the truth was too shameless, so she decided to stay and help.

If the police are called, she can also serve as a witness to prove Shen Yanran's innocence.

Lin Haiyuan was baffled. "And who are you? Why should I believe you?"

Although Zhao Qian was wary of Lin Haiyuan's true identity, she didn't want the person who had helped her to suffer injustice for nothing. So she explained the whole story: "Mr. Lin, you are a man of great importance and have a short memory. Of course, you won't remember someone as insignificant as me. I am Zhao Qian, your daughter Lin Xin'er's high school classmate. The reason this happened today is because your daughter tried to snatch that tie clip from me. It was a gift that I had ordered from the store a month in advance. I explained it to her, but she wouldn't listen and insisted on taking it from me. She even offered to pay double the price. In my haste, I said three times the price, and she followed suit and asked for five times the price. Then Designer Shen agreed and sold the tie clip to Lin Xin'er. That's the whole story."

Lin Haiyuan still had some impression of the name Zhao Qian. He remembered that she was a girl his daughter was close to in high school, but for some reason, the two had a falling out near graduation and never contacted each other again.

They never expected to meet here, and they never expected that the daughter she was talking about would be such an unreasonable person.

Lin Haiyuan lowered his head, his face grave as he looked at his beloved daughter. "Xin'er, is what she said true?"

Lin Xin'er naturally wouldn't admit to what Zhao Qian described. She raised her gentle and obedient little face and explained in a soft voice, "No, Daddy, she's lying. That's not what happened at all. She was just getting revenge on me for what happened in high school. She deliberately teamed up with Shen Yanran to provoke me and make me bid against her, which is why I spent so much money. Otherwise, why would she give another tie clip of the same style to Zhao Qian for free?"

How could a designer like Shen Yanran have such power to give away something worth 500,000 yuan for free?

There must be something wrong here.

Zhao Qian stomped her feet in frustration, "Lin Xin'er, you're talking nonsense! You just can't stand me. I bought something nice and deliberately asked for five times the price. Then you got jealous when you saw that Designer Shen gave me the exact same thing and you're just picking a fight!"

Lin Xin'er glared at her fiercely and warned, "Zhao Qian, I advise you not to act innocent after getting the benefits, or I'll make you regret it!"

Upon realizing Lin Haiyuan's identity, Zhao Qian instantly became furious but dared not speak out.

Shen Yanran also sensed that Lin Haiyuan's identity seemed to be extraordinary, but that did not mean they could slander others so recklessly.

If it really comes down to status, she's not so scary.

Shen Yanran gently stroked Zhao Qian's arm and softly comforted her, "Ms. Zhao, I am very grateful that you spoke up for her at this time. As for who is telling the truth and who is lying, there is actually a very simple way, which is to watch the surveillance video."

Oh right, and there's also the CCTV footage, how could she forget!

Zhao Qian was also so angry with Lin Xiner that she lost her mind.

Lin Xin'er was so focused on lecturing Shen Yanran that she forgot about the surveillance cameras.

If the video reveals the truth, her father will definitely be very angry and give her a lecture, and then confiscate all her pocket money!

Lin Haiyuan was somewhat surprised to hear that Shen Yanran was willing to take out the surveillance footage. "Are you sure you want to show me the footage?"

Shen Yanran smiled slightly on her pretty face and said, "Of course, I just don't know if Miss Lin dares to look."

Lin Xin'er forced a cold laugh and said, "What do I have to be afraid of looking at? I'm just afraid you'll regret it after you see it. But in the end, this store is yours. Who knows if your so-called surveillance footage has been tampered with?"

"Our store's surveillance cameras record in real time, and you can access any time slot at any time. We guarantee there won't be any problems," Shen Yanran said confidently.

Lin Haiyuan said in a low voice, "Alright, let's see who's lying."

Lin Xin'er didn't want Lin Haiyuan to watch any surveillance footage; it wouldn't do her any good.

So, just as everyone turned to go to the monitoring room, she suddenly shouted, "Ouch, my stomach hurts so much! Daddy, help me!"

Lin Haiyuan naturally wouldn't have expected Lin Xin'er to joke about her health. With a concerned look, he helped her up and asked, "Xin'er! Why do you suddenly have a stomachache? Did you eat something else behind my back again?"

"I don't know, but my stomach really hurts so much, it hurts so much!" This wasn't the first time Lin Xin'er had pretended to be sick, so she did it very well, even her face turned quite pale.

Lin Haiyuan believed him and immediately bent down to pick her up. "Okay, Daddy knows. Be good, Xin'er. Just bear with it. I'll take you to the hospital right away."

Immediately afterwards, a large group of people ran out of the jewelry store.

Zhao Qian stared wide-eyed and said unwillingly, "That bitch Lin Xin'er is really good at pretending. Her stomach doesn't hurt earlier or later, but she has to go and watch the surveillance video to make it hurt. She must be afraid that the matter will be exposed and make her father unhappy."

Shen Yanran glanced indifferently at the group of people who had just left, then turned her head and said calmly, "It's alright, justice will prevail. Miss Zhao, thank you for speaking up for me just now."

Zhao Qian quickly shook her head and said, "Designer Shen, you don't need to thank me. If anyone should thank someone, it's me thanking you. If you hadn't been here today, I wouldn't have been able to prepare the gift for my boyfriend. Besides, Lin Xin'er brought this on herself, so she has no one to blame but... her father is no ordinary person. If he investigates later, you'll be in trouble."

"Oh? Is that so? Then who is her father?" Shen Yanran was genuinely curious.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhao Qian whispered to Shen Yanran, "Lin Xin'er's father, Lin Haiyuan, is the current Vice President of the country."

Vice President...

This identity is truly extraordinary.

Shen Yanran nodded. "So that's why she's so special. No wonder that Miss Lin is so self-centered and does whatever she wants."

"When she was in high school, she was particularly good at pretending to be weak and pitiful. Because of her special status, almost all the boys defended her and spoke up for her. If it weren't for the fact that she deliberately stole the person I liked and said some disgusting things to insult me, I would never have known that she had two faces behind my back." Zhao Qian gritted her teeth with hatred when she thought about what had happened.

Shen Yanran understood the feeling of betrayal, so she comforted her, "Alright, it's all in the past, don't think about it anymore. You and your current boyfriend have a good relationship, right? I've also had the gift wrapped for you, you can just take it."

"You really gave it to me? What about Lin Xin'er's?" Zhao Qian pointed to the exquisitely packaged gift box that Lin Xin'er had left on the ground.

Shen Yanran raised her delicate eyebrows slightly and said, "Of course, it should be returned to its rightful owner."
