The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

The host, unsure where the woman who had suddenly spoken had come from or who Shen Yanran was, hesitated, fearing it would disrupt the flow of the banquet, and began to speak with a troubled expression, "This doesn't seem to follow the rules..."

“Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. Besides, everyone is here to do charity. The more money we raise, the fewer poor children there will be in the world. Why not?” Chen Jiao raised her eyebrows triumphantly, elevating her proposal to a moral high ground, leaving the host unsure how to refuse.

As soon as Chen Jiao said this, everyone else present became interested and chimed in with their agreement. After all, they had nothing better to do than watch the excitement for a while.

When Wen Qian saw everyone joining in the commotion, her pretty face instantly darkened. "What's wrong with Chen Jiao? Back in college, she always bullied you with Shen Yufei. So many years have passed and she's still the same old rascal. I thought locking up Ye Shasha would calm Shen Yufei down for a while, but I didn't expect Chen Jiao to pop up so quickly to act as a white lotus messenger."

White Lotus Messenger?

Shen Yanran's lips curled into a cold smile. "You really know how to give people nicknames."

"Yanran, really, if you put all the 'white lotuses' in the world together, Shen Yufei would definitely be the leader, Chen Jiao and Ye Shasha would be her protectors, and her fans would be her followers. She's such a good actress!" Wen Qian felt that she could never live like Shen Yufei, who was two-faced.

Seeing that everyone was interested, Chen Jiao quickly went up on stage, stood next to Shen Yufei, snatched the microphone from the host's hand, and continued without permission: "Now, let's invite Ms. Shen Yanran to perform for everyone."

Following the direction of her finger, everyone's eyes naturally turned to her, giving Shen Yanran no chance to refuse.

Chen Jiao had already planned it out in her mind. If Shen Yanran accepted the invitation to perform on stage, then with no performance experience, she would only become Shen Yufei's foil and be ridiculed.

But if she doesn't accept the invitation, or even turns around and leaves, then it proves that Shen Yanran is a heartless, cold-blooded woman, and everyone can despise her.

So no matter what choice she makes, Shen Yufei will be the ultimate winner!

In this way, she saved face for Shen Yufei, and Shen Yufei would definitely be grateful to her in the future and give her many benefits as before.

It's important to know that Shen Yufei has more than just Shen's Jewelry behind her; she also has Gao Yufeng's Gao Group. Of course, she has to latch onto such a powerful backer as soon as possible!

Wen Qian immediately saw through Chen Jiao's ill intentions. Holding Shen Yanran's cold hands, she said resolutely, "Yanran, are you alright? Don't pay attention to those two lunatics' provocations. If they want to show off, let them. It has nothing to do with us. Let's go."

Shen Yanran showed no intention of leaving. She gently grasped Wen Qian's warm hands, shook her head slightly, and said, "Wen Qian, I'm fine."

Chen Jiao, with her sharp eyes, noticed that Wen Qian was about to take Shen Yanran away, and quickly raised her voice, saying, "Wen Qian, why are you in such a hurry? We're still waiting for Miss Shen's performance... Could it be that she's traumatized by being banned from a piano competition a few years ago for bribing the judges and is now afraid to perform on stage?"

"Chen Jiao, shut up!" Wen Qian has worked hard in the workplace for many years, relying not only on her ability but also on her indomitable spirit. "Don't talk nonsense without evidence. Be careful what you say, or you won't even know how you died!"

Chen Jiao sensed the threat in Wen Qian's eyes and realized that she wasn't just saying it casually. Her face stiffened with fear, and she unconsciously took two steps back, not daring to say anything more.

Wen Qian glared at Chen Jiao several times before turning around and looking at Shen Yanran, whose face was pale, with a worried expression. "Yanran, don't think about it anymore. It's all in the past. It wasn't your fault. They deliberately framed you."

Chen Jiao snorted disdainfully twice. What injustice? That sounds nice, but the judges admitted to the bribery themselves. They're still stubbornly refusing to admit it. Aren't they ashamed?

Then she put on a flattering smile and said to the innocent and kind Shen Yufei beside her, "Feifei, I told you so. Shen Yanran is only glamorous on the surface. She has so many dark histories. What's there to be proud of? She's nothing compared to you."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Shen Yufei's bright, beautiful eyes, and even her rosy lips couldn't help but curl into a smug smile. But she quickly returned to her innocent demeanor and said softly, "Jiaojiao, don't say that. I believe my sister isn't that kind of person. Maybe there was some misunderstanding back then..."

"Feifei, you're just too naive. You always think the best of people. If Shen Yanran really didn't do that kind of thing, how could such a respected judge accuse her for no reason? It's just that they can't stand her despicable methods." Chen Jiao said with great seriousness, as if she had witnessed it herself.

Shen Yufei's eyes widened in surprise, and she said in disbelief, "How could this be? My sister is so talented, how could she possibly bribe the judges? Besides, she probably didn't have much money on her at the time, so what could she have used to bribe the judges..."

Chen Jiao glanced at Shen Yanran not far away with resentment and jealousy, her voice full of mockery and disdain, saying, "Just look at how provocatively she's dressed, and you'll know, if she doesn't have money, she'll use her body, what else can she use... Besides, she didn't sleep with her male classmates before she was an adult, she's already 'battle-hardened'..."

"Enough, stop talking." Although Gao Yufeng had never loved Shen Yanran and had long since broken off their engagement, he still couldn't help but get angry when he heard others slandering her like that.

Shen Yufei also noticed that Gao Yufeng was acting strangely, and quickly pulled Chen Jiao aside, signaling her with her eyes to stop talking.

Then she immediately grabbed Gao Yufeng's arm and explained in a soft and delicate voice, "Brother Feng, don't be angry. Jiaojiao didn't mean it. She probably misunderstood my sister because of the rumors outside. How about I talk to the organizers and ask them to cancel my performance for charity? I'll have my agent transfer one million from their private account to them directly, so as not to make things difficult for my sister."

Gao Yufeng's expression softened a bit. He affectionately patted Shen Yufei's hair and said in a deep voice, "Silly girl, one million is no small amount. It's all earned through your hard work and sweat. How can I bear to let you take the money? I'll have my assistant swipe three million from my card later and then donate it in your name, how about that?"

"Isn't this too much?" Shen Yufei's charming face slowly showed surprise and joy.

Gao Yufeng hugged Shen Yufei tightly and said with happiness, "I'm willing to spend any amount of money for you and the baby."

"Rest easy, Brother Feng! I knew you were the best to me. Now I'll go tell my sister the good news so she doesn't have to worry about performing on stage," Shen Yufei said happily, like a child.

Shen Yanran was surprised that despite her repeated warnings to Shen Yufei to stay away from her, she still shamelessly came looking for her.

Shen Yufei pretended that nothing had happened and walked up to Shen Yanran with an innocent and cute expression. She said in a sweet voice, "Sister, my friend just drank too much and accidentally said something nonsense. Don't take it to heart. Besides, Brother Feng and I have already discussed it. He will donate three million yuan to the charity auction of my performance. So you don't have to worry about going on stage."

Shen Yufei watched Shen Yanran's reaction with great anticipation. She wanted to let her know how important she was in Gao Yufeng's eyes, and how unimportant she was.

Shen Yanran looked at her indifferently, as if watching a clown performing a one-man show. A mocking sneer appeared on her thin lips as she said, "So, you mean I should thank you?"

Shen Yufei felt a little awkward at her smile. "Of course not. We're sisters. I'll do anything to make my sister happy."

Sisters?

How could she say such a thing? Isn't she afraid of uttering such heartless words and biting her own tongue?

"It seems you still ignored my words. Since breaking your arm didn't teach you a lesson, then I'll teach you another one!" Shen Yanran raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, her voice cold and full of disdain.

Shen Yufei's face stiffened, and she suddenly had a bad feeling. "What do you mean?"

Shen Yanran narrowed her starlight-filled, indifferent eyes, her noble and elegant face icy, and she curled her luscious lips into a cold smile, saying, "Didn't you want me to perform a show and then participate in the auction with you? Fine, I'll grant your wish. I want to see whether Gao Yufeng has more money or I have more money today!"

Luckily, she brought Li Zhanting's black card with her when she went out today, otherwise she really wouldn't have been confident that she could outmaneuver Gao Yufeng with money.

I just don't know how much it will cost later. I hope Li Zhanting won't be too angry when he sees the credit card transaction record on his phone...

At the same time, a number of top-of-the-line luxury cars suddenly stopped in front of the Barton Fink Hotel.

The bodyguard in sunglasses and black who had been secretly protecting Shen Yanran saw the familiar car and immediately ran over, respectfully and calmly opening the car door and saying in a low voice, "Boss, you've arrived."

"Hmm." The man in the shadows inside the car responded in a cold, indifferent voice, then bent slightly and stepped out with his long, slender legs.

The bodyguard in black stood with perfect posture behind Li Zhanting. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, he felt a surge of nervousness and immediately took the initiative to report, "I have dealt with the man who was harassing the boss's wife. Please rest assured, boss."

Li Zhanting glanced sideways, his expression inscrutable, and asked, "Where is she?"
