The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Lin Xin'er seemed to be under some kind of spell, determined to marry no one but Li Zhanting.

Unfortunately, the man she liked was not only married but also had a child, so even if she wanted to use some tricks to flirt with him, she had no chance.

Since someone has taken the place that should belong to her, she'll just get rid of that person. As for the two children, they're only a few months old, they're still at her mercy. It would be best if she spoiled them.

That way, the child she gives birth to will be able to inherit the family business.

Therefore, the premise of all these beautiful future aspirations is to get Shen Yanran away from Li Zhanting.

So she secretly hired a private investigator online to follow Shen Yanran, hoping to find something to use against her and coerce or entice her.

However, after waiting for a long time without receiving the news she wanted, she had no choice but to risk inflicting the most fatal damage on Shen Yanran herself.

Extramarital affair.

She believed that no wealthy family would allow a woman with such a stain to stay in their home.

As for the Ho family, they can just consider themselves unlucky...

But Lin Xin'er never expected that her plan would only be half successful. Not only was Shen Yanran not caught in bed with her lover, but she also took out a recording pen to prove her innocence.

Although Li Zhanting believed her, it didn't mean that others would believe him.

Especially the other half of the male protagonist in the scandal, as long as she keeps harping on Shen Yanran, it will still have a negative impact on her.

Unexpectedly, after He Weiguang's mother arrived, she apologized to Shen Yanran instead.

She didn't know if the apology was heartfelt or just a forced bow of the knee out of fear of Li Zhanting's power, but the result was definitely that she didn't intend to pursue the matter further.

Seeing that she had no chance to frame Shen Yanran, Lin Xin'er could only try to protect herself.

But the only person she could trust was her father.

Instead of receiving comfort, I was lectured a few more times.

Lin Xin'er felt extremely wronged. "Dad, I didn't want to either, but if I don't find a way to get rid of Shen Yanran, how could Brother Li possibly marry me? I have no choice. Please help me. If Brother Li finds out, I'll never see him again in my life."

After much deliberation, Lin Haiyuan realized he couldn't allow his daughter to have any stain on her reputation. "I understand. I'll handle the rest for you. You just need to reflect on your actions at the hotel."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Haiyuan arranged for his most trusted subordinate, Wang Shan, to do something for Lin Xin'er.

After learning the general outline of the matter, Wang Shan understood Lin Haiyuan's meaning and his first reaction was to investigate the family background of the private investigator who was being held at the police station.

Knowing that he doesn't have a stable income and has elderly parents to support, things become much easier.

The easiest and quickest way is to solve it with money.

Before Cao Na and He Weiguang went to the police station, Wang Shan met with the private investigator Zhang Hui.

When Zhang Hui was first taken to the police station, he was so scared that he almost wet his pants.

I was terrified that this was where I would die.

They had even thought about what they would do if they confessed.

He never expected that what he would wait for wasn't police interrogation or questioning from the victim, but rather from his friend, the "accomplice" who should have been tied to him...

Wang Shan didn't dare to waste time and went straight to the point: "What you did is not a big deal. At most, it's considered spreading rumors. Even if you are sentenced, the maximum sentence is only three years. As long as you admit that you did everything by yourself, I will give your family 100,000 yuan every year as compensation until you are released from prison."

100,000 a year, that's 300,000 in three years.

This was indeed a considerable sum of money for Zhang Hui, who was struggling to make ends meet.

It's clear that the other party cares a lot about the reputation of the woman he contacted and followed, which is why they made him take the blame for all the crimes.

However, 100,000 yuan is still too little.

Zhang Hui recalled that the woman was dressed entirely in international designer brands, and that her bag alone cost more than 100,000 yuan. So he immediately raised his price, saying, "I can do as you say, but I want more money. It'll be one million yuan for three years."

Wang Shan warned somewhat disapprovingly, "Young man, you're asking for too much. I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it."

A shrewd glint flashed in Zhang Hui's eyes. "Don't worry, one million might not be enough for me. If you're not willing, I'll just tell the police the truth."

This million is only enough for a down payment on a new house. If he wasn't afraid of asking for too much and losing everything, he would have asked for three million directly.

Wang Shan smiled dismissively. "Do you think we're afraid of the police?"

When Zhang Hui recalled being taken to the police station by the men in black and hearing them mention the Li family, he realized the implications. "You're not afraid of the police, but you are afraid of the Li family, so one million really isn't much."

Indeed, if this matter hadn't involved the Li family, he wouldn't have even come here.

After all, no one dares to touch the vice president's daughter.

However, if the Li family finds out who the real mastermind is, things will become much more difficult, and it will also affect Lin Haiyuan's reputation.

At this crucial time of presidential election preparation, it is absolutely unacceptable for such negative news to affect the national vote.

If a million dollars can really shut that person up, then it's worth it.

Anyway, once the storm passes, he has plenty of ways to make this man keep the secret forever.

“Okay, one million. It will be transferred to your parents’ names tomorrow,” Wang Shan promised.

To avoid being investigated by someone with ulterior motives, the money must never be transferred directly to his name.

Zhang Hui nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, when my parents come to see me tomorrow and confirm that the money has arrived, I will take all the responsibility."

Wang Shan stood up, gave Zhang Hui a deep look, and said, "Remember, loose lips sink ships. Don't end up with money but no life to enjoy it."

After uttering that harsh remark, he left.

The police officers who received Wang Shan immediately erased all records of his visit, as if the incident had never happened.

Soon after, Cao Na and He Weiguang arrived.

The moment they saw Zhang Hui, both mother and son were certain they had never seen him before, let alone harbored any deep hatred towards him.

But they still wanted to know why he did it.

Unfortunately, Zhang Hui just wouldn't open his mouth and wouldn't say anything.

There's nothing we can do but wait for the police investigation results before filing a lawsuit.

The most urgent task is to eliminate the online impact.

The Ho family, after all, runs an entertainment company, so their public relations skills are quite good.

They held a press conference, which was also broadcast live online.

"Thank you so much to all the media reporters for coming and helping us clarify that inexplicable fabricated video online. We've also caught the person who spread the rumor and taken them to the police station. Now, I'd like to explain the actual situation..."

Cao Na presented concise and clear photos of He Ruidong's meeting in the hotel conference room before meeting Shen Yanran, as well as the entire process of the man who secretly filmed her from the corridor surveillance video.

"Actually, it was because my husband wanted to give me a surprise that we made it so mysterious, which led to misunderstandings. As the saying goes, rumors stop with the wise. This is the truth. Please don't spread rumors, or we will take legal action. Of course, I would also like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to my husband and me's 30th wedding anniversary celebration on the 25th of this month. Thank you all."

Cao Na's poised and generous remarks instantly won the favor of the media present, who also helped to release positive news about her online.

After all, it's one of the three major entertainment companies in the entertainment industry, so they'll give it that much face.

Moreover, the other protagonist in that scandal is someone from the Li family; who would dare offend them?

As for the truth, that's their own business. The media has always only cared about the process, not the result.

Soon after, Fairy Jewelry Design Company, on behalf of Shen Yanran, forwarded the statement and press conference video from Guangying Entertainment, adding the note that the truth will prevail.

In less than a day, this sudden scandal finally came to an end.

Before long, it was overshadowed by all sorts of celebrity news.

When Shen Yanran returned home, she saw that the news about her inexplicable scandal had disappeared from the internet, and she unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a perfect example of the saying "sitting at home, trouble falls from the sky."

She never imagined that a simple routine work exchange could lead to such malicious slander.

At first, they spoke as if they had all witnessed what happened between him and He Ruidong.

Fortunately, Mr. He's wife is a reasonable person and doesn't care about her unreasonable son, otherwise she would really be in a situation where she couldn't clear her name no matter what.

Unfortunately, the gift Mr. He prepared lacked any surprise.

But she will put more effort into designing gifts to make up for this regret.

When Li Zhanting returned to the bedroom from the study, he saw Shen Yanran still looking at her phone. Thinking she was still angry, he took the phone away from her, saying, "Don't look at it, it's bad for your eyes."

"There's no negative news about that incident online anymore. Did you do it?" With such a swift response, the only person she could think of was her husband.

Li Zhanting said calmly, "Yes and no, the He family also contributed."

Shen Yanran suddenly leaned against Li Zhanting and said weakly, "What an undeserved disaster! Why am I so unlucky? My job was going so well, and now the rumors are all over the place. Is someone cursing me?"

Li Zhanting chuckled and pinched his nose lightly. "Superstition."

The matter was over, but Shen Yanran still couldn't help but wonder, "Then tell me, how could it be such a coincidence that someone took a picture of me and President He meeting at the hotel room door? It felt like someone was following me. And what does Lin Xiner have to do with this? Why is she getting involved?"

What's even more coincidental is that Lin Xin'er and He Weiguang are classmates.

Ostensibly, she came to show concern for He Ruidong, but she felt as if they were deliberately there to make a fool of her.

This coincidence plus another coincidence seems to be just another coincidence.

No way, was the person who secretly filmed them instructed by Lin Xin'er?

Li Zhanting's eyes darkened slightly as he said, "Regardless of whether it has anything to do with her or not, I don't want to see her again. I've already asked Xu Fan to inform her that she doesn't need to come to work tomorrow."

This time, no one's face will work.
