The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

"If she says it wasn't intentional, then it wasn't intentional. Gao Yufeng, I think your eyes are useless anyway, you might as well just feed them to the dogs!" Wen Qian said angrily, pointing at Gao Yufeng who was blocking her way.

Shen Yufei bit her lower lip, looking utterly wronged, and said in a choked voice, "I really didn't mean it, why won't you believe me? Besides, I've already apologized to my sister..."

Compared to Wen Qian's uncontrollable rage, Shen Yanran was much calmer. A cold sneer curled at the corner of her lips, and a hint of sadness and complexity gradually appeared in her indifferent starry eyes. She seemed not to be surprised that Shen Yufei would do this.

She took a light breath, looked expressionlessly at the pitiful and innocent Shen Yufei in front of her, and said in a calm and collected voice: "Shen Yufei, you have used the same trick on me more than once. I am already bored. You still manage to use it every time. It is ridiculous."

Shen Yufei, her face pale, hurriedly explained, "No, sister, you've misunderstood me, just now..."

"I really didn't mean to just now, please believe me... Is this what you meant? Every time you frame me or hurt me, you say the exact same lines, then act like you were forced into this situation, casually say sorry, and that's it," Shen Yanran snorted disdainfully a few times and continued.

"And what you can't stand the most is that I'm doing better than you. Anything I like, you have to take away, and if you can't take it away, you have to destroy it. Like tonight, you were supposed to be the star, but I overshadowed you. So you were angry and wanted to destroy me. First, you provoked me with the news of your engagement. When you saw that I didn't care, you tried to spill red wine on me to provoke me. Then you pretended to be completely surprised and apologized to me. When I didn't accept it, you said that I was being unreasonable and deliberately making things difficult for you. Shen Yufei, don't think that the whole world is your mother and that everyone has to indulge you!"

Shen Yufei's once bright and beautiful face had turned deathly pale. She stood frozen in place, not knowing what to do.

Those around thought the mysterious man had left and the matter was over, but unexpectedly, the two sisters from Shen's Jewelry got together again, and it seemed they had a bit of a disagreement, with even wine glasses shattering on the floor.

As everyone craned their necks to watch the spectacle, they naturally heard Shen Yanran's cold and disdainful words, and all turned their gazes to Shen Yufei, who was biting her red lips and looking weak and sad.

Shen Yufei felt uncomfortable under the scrutinizing gazes of those around her. Her eyes welled up with tears, which slid down her smooth cheeks like pearls. She choked back sobs as she explained, "Sister, I know you've been very sad since your mother passed away, and you've never given me or my mother a kind look. But my mother did a lot of work, even if she didn't do anything special, she did a lot of hard work to raise you. I also try my best to make you happy every day. Why can't you accept us, mother and daughter? You always misunderstand and think I want to hurt you, but I really never thought that way."

Shen Yufei spoke with genuine emotion, deliberately letting everyone know how difficult their situation was and how willful and selfish Shen Yanran was.

Those around them who didn't know the truth suddenly seemed to be persuaded by Shen Yufei, and were unwilling to believe that a girl as innocent and kind as Shen Yufei could be as scheming as Shen Yanran said.

It's said that being a stepmother is difficult. No matter how carefully you take care of your child, you can't win their genuine gratitude, let alone someone like Shen Yufei, who is also your half-sister. It's certainly not an easy life for her either.

Thinking about all this, they even felt some sympathy for Shen Yufei, and thought that Shen Yanran was making a mountain out of a molehill and was narrow-minded.

Shen Yanran's indifferent face showed no reaction to the surrounding discussions, because she knew that no matter how much she said or explained, it would be meaningless.

Shen Yanran waved to the waiter who was staring in disbelief, then picked up a glass of red wine from the tray and swirled it a few times.

Watching the red liquid slowly drip down the glass, he suddenly murmured, "What a waste of such fine red wine."

Shen Yufei wasn't paying attention to what she was saying at all; she was just staring at the red wine in Shen Yanran's hand, a barely perceptible glint in her eyes. "Sister... I'm begging you, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly reached out and lunged at Shen Yanran, as if she wanted to hold her hand and beg for forgiveness.

This time, however, Shen Yanran not only didn't dodge, but instead, in front of everyone, she threw the red wine in her hand directly at Shen Yufei.

With a loud "slap," Shen Yufei felt as if she had been slapped hard across the face, and froze on the spot.

Immediately following were gasps of surprise from those around: "My God! A fight has broken out!"

No one expected that the woman who had just been indifferent would suddenly become so powerful and actually start a fight!

Shen Yufei's exquisite and beautiful makeup was now half ruined by the red wine, making her look like a clown with various colors on her face.

Shen Yanran, however, said with a cold expression and without any apology, "Sorry, my hand slipped."

Shen Yufei gritted her teeth and glared at Shen Yanran resentfully. It was obvious that she did it on purpose!

Gao Yufeng never expected that Shen Yanran would dare to lay a hand on Shen Yufei. His handsome face darkened, and he looked at Shen Yufei with concern, asking, "Feifei, how are you? Are you alright?"

Shen Yufei trembled with anger, her hands clenched into fists. But faced with Gao Yufeng's concern, she dared not lash out no matter how fierce she was. She could only show her infinite grievances and sob in a hoarse voice, "Brother Feng, my eyes hurt so much. Please take a look. Am I going blind?"

Gao Yufeng immediately took out a handkerchief from his shirt pocket and wiped Shen Yufei's eyes repeatedly. Apart from being a little red, he didn't seem to see any major problems. "It's okay, Feifei, it's just a little red. Don't scare yourself."

Seeing Shen Yufei in such pain, Gao Yufeng felt incredibly sorry for her. Seeing Shen Yanran standing by coldly without any remorse, he could no longer suppress his anger and asked harshly, "Shen Yanran, you've already had Feifei hurt once before. I didn't hold it against you because you're Feifei's sister. But today you dare to hurt Feifei again! Do you think that just because you have a rich person backing you up, I won't dare to do anything to you?"

Shen Yanran didn't take Gao Yufeng's threat seriously at all, and even said with some disdain, "Gao Yufeng, I warned you all to stay away from me, but you just wouldn't listen and insisted on coming over. I can only say that you asked for it."

After saying that, Shen Yanran indifferently smashed the wine glass in her hand at Gao Yufeng's feet, shattering it on the ground.

Then he turned to Wen Qian, whose eyes were bright, and said softly, "I'm going to the restroom."

"Hmm, do you need me to come with you?" Wenqian asked, a little worried.

Shen Yanran gave her a reassuring look and said calmly, "No need, I'll be right back."

Gao Yufeng had already lost face with that man once, and this time he was determined to regain his dignity with Shen Yanran. Seeing Shen Yanran turn to leave, he immediately shouted angrily, "Shen Yanran, this isn't over yet! Don't even think about running away! Stop right there!"

"Gao Yufeng, you can keep going on and on to tell me whatever you want." Wen Qian immediately blocked Gao Yufeng's path.

Gao Yufeng's brows furrowed as he looked at the woman who had been by Shen Yanran's side and said coldly, "Wenqian, this is between her and me, it has nothing to do with you. You'd better get out of my way right now."

Looking at Shen Yufei, who was still pretending to be weak and pitiful, Wen Qian suddenly said, "Gao Yufeng, don't you think everything that happened today looks familiar?"

"What do you mean?" Gao Yufeng asked, frowning in confusion.

Wen Qian scoffed contemptuously, "That's right. You've always only had eyes for Shen Yufei. When have you ever cared about Yanran's feelings? Well, let me kindly remind you, three years ago, at your birthday party, Shen Yufei just suddenly handed a glass of red wine to Yanran like this. Before Yanran could even speak, the red wine in her hand accidentally spilled on the dress that Yanran had carefully prepared for you, ruining it completely. Before Yanran even had time to be sad, Shen Yufei burst into tears, apologizing and saying that she didn't mean it. After that, it seems that there were many similar occasions where Shen Yufei used the same method. Don't you find it strange? She's neither clumsy nor incapacitated, so how come she's always so careless?"

After hearing Wen Qian's words, Gao Yufeng's anger cooled down instantly, and he seemed to recall similar scenes from the past.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and his sharp gaze fell on the frail girl who was still crying her eyes out.

Shen Yufei felt a sudden panic when Gao Yufeng looked at her with such unfamiliar eyes. She hadn't expected the impulsive Wen Qian to speak to Gao Yufeng so calmly, and she certainly hadn't expected that Gao Yufeng would actually suspect her...

"No, Brother Feng, let me explain. It's not like what Sister Wenqian said. It's all a misunderstanding, a coincidence." Shen Yufei didn't care about her disheveled appearance and hurriedly grabbed Gao Yufeng's arm to explain anxiously.

"Coincidence? How come you, Shen Yufei, have encountered so many coincidences in the world? Gao Yufeng, think about it carefully. Are the things that have happened to Yanran over the years just coincidences or are they malicious..." Wen Qian finished speaking meaningfully, then turned and left without saying another word.

Gao Yufeng fell into deep thought; he suddenly seemed unsure of whom to trust...
