The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Jiang Meiling has been feeling down lately. Her husband is not home, and her in-laws are ignoring her.

I want to see my grandson, but I can't.

Go to see your eldest son and tell him you're too busy with work to see him.

The youngest son didn't dare to go looking for him at all.

In short, she was very bored at home alone.

So every day, besides playing cards, getting beauty treatments, and shopping, she did nothing but go about her daily routine.

I recently heard that many new clothes have arrived at the mall, so I invited two socialites to go and take a look.

Unexpectedly, she happened to see Shen Yanran shopping with a young man.

Moreover, they acted very intimately.

Jiang Meiling already had various grievances against Shen Yanran, and seeing her only made her angrier.

Mrs. Wang, who was shopping with Jiang Meiling, noticed that her complexion was not quite right, so she asked with concern, "Mrs. Li, you don't look well. Are you tired from shopping? Why don't we go and rest for a bit?"

Jiang Meiling seemed not to hear anything, her eyes fixed on Shen Yanran and the man's every move not far away.

Mrs. Su, who was standing nearby, also noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Meiling, so she followed her gaze and said, "Hey... Mrs. Wang, look at that woman over there, she looks familiar. Isn't she Mrs. Li's youngest daughter-in-law?"

Wang Fei blinked and looked over. "Now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense, but why is she the only one here? Where is President Li?"

Su Ling said with a malicious look, "Mrs. Wang, I think you really need to get a pair of glasses. Didn't you see that President Li is standing next to an even younger man?"

Wang Fei is a shrewd person; she understood what Su Ling meant as soon as she heard her explanation.

No wonder Jiang Meiling looked so pale; she had seen her daughter-in-law having an affair with another man.

People in this circle were already saying that Jiang Meiling looked down on the woman her youngest son married and made things difficult for her in every way. If it weren't for the fact that the woman gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, in the end...

They probably don't want to acknowledge a daughter-in-law with no status or position.

But looking at it now, it doesn't seem as harmonious as the legends say.

"What if he's someone's younger brother? Don't overthink it, right, Mrs. Li?" Wang Fei glanced meaningfully at Jiang Meiling beside her.

On the surface, they all respectfully address Jiang Meiling as Madam Li, but in reality, they are extremely jealous and can't stand seeing others living better lives than themselves.

Why is it that Jiang Meiling was able to marry such a good husband and have such an outstanding son?

Their husbands are either philandering or indulging in debauchery, and their sons are unambitious and constantly causing trouble. It's enough to give anyone a headache.

What's even more infuriating is that they have very little money in their hands.

Whenever Jiang Meiling is unhappy, she goes shopping everywhere, spending tens of millions or even twenty million without batting an eye, while the others, when unhappy, at most spend a few hundred thousand, and then have to watch their faces when they get home.

But now that I see Jiang Meiling isn't as happy as I imagined, I'm incredibly happy.

But his face showed righteous indignation. "What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't Shen Yanran the granddaughter of Shen Guohua from Shen's Jewelry? I've never heard of them having a grandson. She's definitely not a brother. If you ask me, she's more like a gigolo."

Pretty boy?

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Meiling's expression turned even more unpleasant.

But she also knew that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, so she immediately said coldly, "Alright, that's enough. Let's stop here for today. Go home."

Although Jiang Meiling now has the intention to kill Shen Yanran, she is much more shrewd than before and will not be so impulsive as to seek revenge on Shen Yanran.

If she wants Li Zhanting to completely kick Shen Yanran out of the Li family, she must have evidence of catching them in the act of adultery. She absolutely cannot give Shen Yanran a chance to turn things around!

Shen Yanran was naturally unaware that Jiang Meiling had her eye on her at this time.

She was still intently helping Xu Xiaohui choose a gift.

Xu Xiaohui left at some point, but when she returned, she was carrying two glasses of brightly colored juice. "Sister Yanran, you've been looking around for a while, are you thirsty? I bought some freshly squeezed juice, have a taste."

Shen Yanran was indeed a little thirsty, so she accepted the gift without much thought. "Thank you. By the way, I've picked out a gift for you. What do you think of this outfit? It should be very suitable for your mother's age group, and the price is within your budget."

"Of course it's great! You have excellent taste. My mom will be very happy when she sees it." Xu Xiaohui went to the cashier to pay with a happy expression.

Stepping out of the store, Shen Yanran glanced at the time on her wrist. "Hmm, it's about time. You should hurry and take the gift to your mother. I should also..."

As she was talking, she suddenly felt extremely dizzy and even became unsteady on her feet.

Xu Xiaohui immediately reached out to support Shen Yanran, "Sister Yanran, are you alright? How about I take you home?"

Shen Yanran didn't know what was wrong, but she still subconsciously shook her head, "No...no need, you...you call my husband for me, he'll come..."

Pick me up.

Shen Yanran didn't say the last few words because she had completely fainted.

Xu Xiaohui took the opportunity to hug her tightly and whispered, "Sister Yanran, Sister Yanran?"

Seeing that she really didn't react at all, he felt relieved, took out his phone and made a call, "I've already knocked her unconscious. I'll take her to my house first. I'll send you the address in a bit."

Jiang Meiling secretly followed Shen Yanran and took many photos of her and that man in intimate contact with each other.

But in the blink of an eye, Shen Yanran collapsed into the man's arms and was taken to a taxi.

Jiang Meiling immediately found another taxi and followed them.

They didn't stop until they reached a very dilapidated neighborhood.

Jiang Meiling followed them all the way, and after seeing them enter the room, she immediately called Li Zhanting, telling him to come and catch them in the act.

But the phone was busy at that exact moment, and I tried calling several times, but the line was always busy. Eventually, my phone ran out of battery.

The reason Li Zhanting's phone was busy was because he was calling Shen Yanran.

Just ten minutes ago, she texted him saying it was almost over, but why didn't he respond to all the messages she sent, and why didn't he answer her calls?

Li Zhanting sensed something was wrong, so he used his phone to locate Shen Yanran's position, only to find that she was constantly moving, and very quickly, as if she were in a car.

He was very worried that Shen Yanran had been kidnapped, so he immediately asked Xu Fan to go with him to chase after her based on the location.

In the room, Shen Yanran vaguely felt someone talking.

"What? You discovered Shen Yanran is missing so quickly? What do I do now?"

"The car is downstairs? Great, I'll take her down right away."

A moment later, Shen Yanran was lifted up in someone's arms.

Shen Yanran, her mind still hazy, murmured, "Xu...Xu Xiaohui...let me go..."

Xu Xiaohui stiffened, looking at the gentle and harmless woman in his arms, and said with a dim look in his eyes, "I'm sorry, Sister Yanran, I had no choice. I had to do this for my mother. Consider it a debt I owe you, and I will repay you in my next life by being your slave."

Jiang Meiling, who was outside the door, saw Shen Yanran being carried out again. Afraid that they would run away, she immediately came out to block Xu Xiaohui's way. "Well, Shen Yanran, you've really grown bold. You dare to cheat on my son with someone else. I'll beat you to death today, you shameless and wicked woman!"

Xu Xiaohui was surprised that Jiang Meiling would find him here and misunderstand his relationship with Shen Yanran.

But now is not the time to explain; he must leave immediately or all his efforts will be in vain.

Jiang Meiling found it strange that Shen Yanran had no reaction at all. "Shen Yanran, stop pretending to be dead! I've filmed everything you and this lover did. Once I tell my son, you're dead!"

Just as she was about to hit Shen Yanran, she suddenly felt a pain in her neck, then everything went black, and she fainted.

The people waiting for Xu Xiaohui downstairs seemed impatient, so they went upstairs and found Jiang Meiling shouting and yelling. Fearing that they would alert the neighbors and call the police, they simply knocked her unconscious.

Xu Xiaohui recognized Jiang Meiling and frowned. "She's Li Zhanting's mother. Let's take her with us for double insurance."

When Shen Yanran woke up again, she was in a completely unfamiliar room.

She had a terrible headache, and her hands and feet were tightly bound, making it impossible for her to move. She immediately realized that she had been kidnapped.

And it was someone she knew.

But she didn't understand why Xu Xiaohui kidnapped her. Was it for money?

"Where am I?" another voice suddenly rang out.

Shen Yanran looked up and was surprised to find Jiang Meiling there as well.

Jiang Meiling found herself tied up and was terrified. "What's going on? Why am I tied up? Help! Someone help me!"

"Mom, stop shouting. We've probably been kidnapped. Shouting won't do any good. If you anger the kidnappers, our lives will be in danger!" Shen Yanran said seriously.

Jiang Meiling was so frightened that she was completely at a loss, and all she could do was nod.

Shen Yanran slowly moved to Jiang Meiling's side and looked her up and down. "Mom, how are you feeling? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Jiang Meiling shook her head helplessly, "No... what do we do now?"

Shen Yanran tried her best to remain calm and instructed, "Mom, don't be afraid. Listen to me, I'll untie the rope for you first, and then you can untie mine."

Soon, the two of them untied the ropes from each other.

Jiang Meiling was extremely nervous, fearing that those hateful kidnappers would suddenly break in and harm her.

Shen Yanran carefully observed the house and noticed that one window was not sealed off. She and Jiang Meiling were both very thin, so they should be able to squeeze through.

So they carefully climbed out of the window, trying not to make a sound.

Only then did they realize that they had been tied up on a deserted mountain.

Jiang Meiling was so scared her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

Just when they thought they could escape smoothly, they were discovered by the kidnappers. "You two, stop right there!"

Shen Yanran reacted quickly, pulling Jiang Meiling and running down the mountain.

Unfortunately, they didn't know the way and got lost while running.

Jiang Meiling was wearing high heels, and soon she twisted her ankle and couldn't walk anymore. But she was afraid that Shen Yanran would leave her alone, so she gritted her teeth and persevered.

Shen Yanran suddenly led Jiang Meiling to hide in a clump of grass, took off her shoes and gave them to her, "Mom, I'll give you my shoes. You hide here by yourself and don't move. I'll go and lure the kidnappers away. Make sure no one is there before you go downstairs."

Jiang Meiling never dreamed that Shen Yanran would save her life first in this life-or-death situation. "Shen Yanran, I've done so many things to hurt you before, why are you still willing to run away with me? I thought you couldn't wait for me to die?"

Shen Yanran clearly sensed that the kidnappers were getting closer and closer, and hurriedly said, "Because you are my husband's mother, I must protect you. Otherwise, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life if anything happens to you. Remember what I just said!"
