The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Chen Jiao stared at everything unfolding before her with a livid face, even wondering if she was dreaming.

It's simply unbelievable that such a handsome man would be after Shen Yanran!

You should know that over the years, Shen Yanran's reputation for being lowly and vicious has spread throughout high society in Haicheng. Any man with a bit of status or face would not associate with her.

In other words, Gao Yufeng had to accept Shen Yanran as her fiancé because of his engagement to the Shen family.

But now, even Gao Yufeng has abandoned her. What man would want her? That would be tantamount to humiliating herself.

However, she never imagined that there would actually be a man in this world willing to want her, especially such a distinguished and extraordinary man. This almost drove her mad with jealousy!

Of course, Shen Yufei was equally insanely jealous.

She had planned everything for today's fashion charity gala: first, to maintain her relationship with Gao Yufeng, and then to greet all the important people and prove her current status.

Then, by making the final charitable donation, they can boost their public image and completely extricate themselves from the fan violence incident, perhaps even gaining a good reputation as a charity ambassador.

But she never expected that Shen Yanran would appear here, ruining all her plans and showing off in front of so many people. How could she swallow this insult!

Especially when such an outstanding man appeared before her again, her vain heart was once again shaken.

If that hundred million yuan belonged to her, if that man belonged to her...

His exceptionally handsome and noble face was captivating to anyone who saw it, and his innate kingly aura made her unconsciously want to submit to him and do anything he wanted.

In that instant, Shen Yufei seemed to have forgotten the time he had dislocated her arm as a punishment, and even stared at him with a kind of infatuation.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her hand.

Shen Yufei looked down and saw that Gao Yufeng had unconsciously grabbed her slender, fair hand when he was secretly plotting something.

But this also made her realize that Gao Yufeng was still by her side, and she absolutely could not act rashly.

Chen Jiao, on the other hand, didn't have so many concerns. Anyway, her marriage with her husband abroad had long been a sham, and now that no one was watching over her, she could do whatever she wanted.

As the saying goes, people die for wealth and birds die for food. How could she possibly pass up such a rare and outstanding man?

Chen Jiao pulled her clothes down again, just to attract men's attention.

Of course, she didn't forget to belittle Shen Yanran to elevate herself, so she immediately put on what she thought was a pleasant voice and said in a coquettish tone, "Excuse me, sir, were you joking just now? Our Feifei is the most popular female celebrity right now. Why didn't you choose her but instead chose a woman like Shen Yanran? How could she possibly be worth a hundred million?"

To maintain her ladylike image, Chen Jiao didn't dare to use foul language, but she did subtly imply that Shen Yanran was not a good woman.

At the same time, she secretly guessed that the man in front of her must not know what kind of woman Shen Yanran was, and that he was misled by her appearance and made the wrong choice.

Upon hearing Chen Jiao's words, a chilling glint flashed in Shen Yanran's pale, cold eyes, and a hint of mockery curled at the corners of her indifferent lips.

They really know how to flatter the powerful and belittle the weak; with just a few words, they can make her seem worthless.

Shen Yanran smiled speechlessly, then met Li Zhanting's deep and determined eyes and gently shook her head.

Li Zhanting frowned slightly, knowing that she disdained to lower herself to their level.

But that doesn't mean he's going to let this foul-mouthed woman off so easily!

Li Zhanting glanced sideways, his sharp, deep eyes sweeping over the woman who seemed oblivious to her fate. His handsome face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice, "What kind of woman do you think she is?"

Chen Jiao was completely unaware of the danger that was about to befall her. Instead, she felt that her tricks had worked and finally made the man realize who the real good woman was.

She glanced triumphantly at Shen Yanran, who remained indifferent, bit her luscious lips, and suddenly raised her fingers, painted with blood-red nail polish, and said loudly, "Sir, you may not know, but Shen Yanran is not some proper young lady from a respectable family. She is a vicious, wicked, and promiscuous woman. Since high school, she has relied on her looks to seduce other people's boyfriends. If she couldn't seduce them, she would resort to stealing them. In college, it was even worse. Plagiarism and stealing classmates' work were common occurrences. And that time in the piano competition, she deliberately sold her body to gain fame... There are too many such things to count. So I say that a woman like her doesn't deserve your 100 million!"

When Xu Fan and He Shan, who were following closely behind, heard this woman spouting nonsense without any restraint and deliberately slandering Shen Yanran, they couldn't help but frown and gasp.

They both knew better than anyone how important Shen Yanran was to Li Zhanting. This woman, oblivious to her own mortality, was actually talking about it so happily. She was utterly foolish!

Sure enough, the next second, they saw their CEO's handsome face gradually darken.

There's a saying, "No zuo no die," meaning if you don't act recklessly, you won't die. This woman isn't just courting death; she's practically asking for it!

The banquet hall had been quiet for some time because of Li Zhanting's sudden outburst, so they naturally heard Chen Jiao's unrestrained and loud criticism of Shen Yanran clearly.

"What?! Wasn't she supposed to be a daughter of Shen's Jewelry, just like Shen Yufei? How can she be so lowly and rude, seducing men in high school? Does that mean she did *that* before she was even an adult... Ugh... How disgusting!"

"Oh, please stop talking! I'm getting goosebumps all over. Luckily, I'm far away from her, otherwise I'd be terrified if I caught some STD from her!"

"Who says otherwise? There's an old saying that you can know a person's face but not their heart. Shen Yanran looks like a fairy, but I never expected her to be so scheming and seducing men everywhere. If I were her, I wouldn't even have the face to show my face. How could I have the nerve to come here and compete with my own sister? It's truly shameful!"

Most of the people attending the fashion charity gala today are from out of town. Only a few local tycoons have heard a few rumors about Shen Yanran, saying she is a bad woman with a bad character. But this is the first time I have heard such real and specific rumors about her, which is really surprising!

The voices of envy and jealousy around them rang out again, growing louder and louder, as if they had witnessed firsthand the things Chen Jiao said that slandered Shen Yanran, and their claims became increasingly outrageous.

Shen Yanran's beautiful and elegant face turned pale instantly. She clenched her fists tightly, trying her best to protect her already battered heart from any further harm.

But in the end, she couldn't withstand the hurt caused by those people's baseless and vicious words, especially in front of Li Zhanting. A chill from the bottom of her heart suddenly ran through her entire body, and she even began to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing Shen Yanran's expression, Shen Yufei smiled smugly. She knew that even after many years, Shen Yanran still couldn't face these rumors.

No matter how much resentment or grievance she felt, she could only endure it!

Otherwise, wouldn't all her years of tireless efforts in spreading these rumors behind the scenes have been in vain?

To be honest, Chen Jiao is really her "good classmate." She doesn't need to say anything; she's willing to slander Shen Yanran. It seems that giving her those unwanted old clothes and tattered bags before did have an effect.

Shen Yanran, I refuse to believe that you, whose reputation has been ruined to this extent, have any right to stand beside such a god-like man.

Heh... Just wait and see, you'll be ruthlessly dumped by a man again!

When no one was paying attention to her, Shen Yufei's eyes were filled with vicious curses towards Shen Yanran.

At this moment, Chen Jiao noticed that Li Zhanting's expression had completely darkened, and thought that her words had worked. So she immediately pressed her advantage and said, "Sir, doing charity is a good deed that can accumulate merit. Please don't let it be tainted by a woman like Shen Yanran who is not clean. Instead, use this 100 million to support Shen Yufei. She is a well-known charity angel in Haicheng. As her friend, I will definitely be very grateful to you!"

Li Zhanting raised a brow slightly, a bloodthirsty glint flashing in his dark, unfathomable eyes. His thin lips curved into a chilling smile as he said, "So, she's that kind of woman..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanran felt a sharp pain in her heart, her face turning pale as she bit her lower lip tightly.

She slowly raised her head and looked at the proud and imposing man directly opposite her, who looked down on the world. Her eyes, which had dimmed, trembled slightly under the light. She wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Upon hearing Li Zhanting's reaction, Chen Jiao was overjoyed. "Yes, that's exactly the kind of woman she is. You mustn't be fooled by this pretentious woman!"

Before Chen Jiao could finish her excited and thrilled words, she was slapped hard twice!

"Smack! Smack!" Two loud slams, just hearing them made you feel incredibly painful.

Chen Jiao was also stunned by the blow. She immediately covered her burning cheek with both hands and roared at the woman who had hit her with a ferocious expression: "Who the hell are you? Why are you hitting me!"
