The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

Lin Qingran calmly glanced at Shen Huai, who had a fawning expression, and stepped out of the car.

The Shen family father and son are well-known businessmen in Beicheng, and they never do business at a loss.

Vera is an artist under Shen Huai's management, and XH is a research company newly established by the Shen family.

After being showered with compliments by Shen Huai, she began to wonder what kind of concessions Gu Moxuan had made to make Shen Huai willingly kick out his artist.

Vera has a fiery temper, and she certainly won't let things go unless she gets something in return.

A day has passed since the incident occurred.

Vera and her agent remained completely silent.

Something unusual must be going on.

She stepped out of the car, wearing a pair of silver-white flat shoes.

The white gauze wrapped around her slender, perfect ankles was particularly eye-catching.

Shen Huai's expression immediately hardened.

"How did your foot get hurt?"

As he spoke, he bent down and lifted Lin Qingran's trouser leg.

Lin Qingran instinctively took a step back.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

She looked awkward as she walked towards the company interior.

She instinctively avoided Shen Huai's pained and concerned gaze.

Shen Huai ignored her resistance and followed her, teasing her.

"Qingran, this is no longer the era where men would marry men just because they saw a woman's feet."

"Besides, what is our relationship? You don't need to avoid me like I'm a monster."

Lin Qingran did not stop and continued walking forward.

"Although it's not that era anymore, being associated with Young Master Shen always carries a hint of ambiguity."

"Young Master Shen, I am simply trying to avoid suspicion."

Shen Huai couldn't help but smile.

"avoid arousing suspicion?"

"Why don't Gu Moxuan and Lin Xiaoruo avoid each other at all?"

Lin Qingran frowned.

Shen Huai paused for a moment, realizing he had gone back on his word, and pursed his lips.

But for a fleeting moment, he resumed his banter.

"Am I wrong?"

He put his hands in his pockets, his narrow eyes fixed on Lin Qingran, and said slowly.

"Gu Moxuan is a vampire, sucking the blood of your Lin family and you. Yet he acts all righteous and avenging his family for love."

"Qingran, if you don't make a decision soon, he will drain your Lin family and your blood dry."

Lin Qingran took a deep breath, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Shen Huai, let's not talk about this anymore."

Her voice was tinged with anger as she walked straight into the elevator after the doors opened.

This time, Shen Huai didn't follow. He stopped at the elevator entrance and looked at Lin Qingran with worry in his eyes.

The moment the elevator doors closed, she clearly heard Shen Huai say something earnestly.

"Qingran, Gu Yihuai has returned to the country. Gu Moxuan's position in the Gu family will become very awkward. Do you really want to ruin yourself, ruin the Lin family, and go to hell with him?"

Lin Qingran was taken aback.

Yes, she's already in deep trouble. How can she drag the Lin family and her two promising brothers down with her?

Lin Qingran took a deep breath, feeling an unusual heaviness in her heart.

The elevator doors opened again; we had arrived at her office floor.

But she didn't rush out. It wasn't until the elevator doors closed again that she came to her senses, pressed the open button, and stepped out.

Cheng Ya noticed that Lin Qingran seemed a little dazed, so she walked over.

"Mr. Lin, are you alright?"

Lin Qingran shook her head, pursed her lips, and, perking up, resolutely reverted to her aloof and cold self.

"It's nothing, is something wrong?"

Cheng Ya glanced in the direction of Lin Qingran's office. "Vera and her agent arrived early this morning."

Lin Qingran nodded and walked calmly toward the office.

Lin Qingran was not surprised at all that the two had come to her company.

Cheng Ya noticed the problem with Lin Qingran's feet from her stiff gait and looked worried.

"Mr. Lin, if it's inconvenient for you, I'll let them go back first."

Lin Qingran shook her head, "It's okay, you go to work first, I can handle it."

She walked toward the office, showing no sign of weakness despite the swelling and pain in her ankle.

As she pushed open the office door, Vera and her agent's eyes immediately fell on her.

Vera looked displeased, and her agent was even more so.

"Mr. Kobayashi, you need to explain to us why you haven't handled this situation properly?"

"There are people all over the internet now mocking Vera for losing her endorsement deal. Her reputation has been affected, and we absolutely cannot continue to work with you."

The agent, with an air of righteous indignation, accused Lin Qingran of having difficulties at work.

Lin Qingran walked slowly to the office chair and sat down, glancing indifferently at Vera.

"Have you been in contact with Lin Xiaoruo?"

A hint of unease flashed in Vera's eyes, but she quickly spoke in a low voice.

"President Lin, I know that your relationship with Shen Shaodong is extraordinary."

"But given what has happened this time, for the sake of my own future, I really cannot continue to work with you."

As Vera was speaking, her agent immediately interrupted, explaining the purpose of their visit.

"We're here today to terminate our contract with you."

Lin Qingran remained calm, opened the drawer with the key, and slowly found the contract with Vera inside.

Vera and her agent exchanged a glance when they saw Lin Qingran so readily produce the contract.

They thought Lin Qingran would readily agree to terminate the contract, but to their surprise, she simply read out the breach of contract clauses slowly.

As she read out the breach of contract clauses one by one, Vera and her agent looked extremely grim.

Vera has a fiery temper and can't stand Lin Qingran's gentle, persistent admonitions.

She immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up, glaring angrily at Lin Qingran, who sat calmly in his office chair.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Qingran put down the contract, raised her head slightly, and looked at Vera.

"Nothing special, termination of the contract is fine. I'll terminate the contract with Ms. Vera whenever the penalty for breach of contract is paid."

Vera's face turned pale, and before she could react, Lin Qingran leisurely stood up.

Her slender fingers traced across the contract, her beautiful fox-like eyes fixed intently on her, and she opened her lips.

"Does Ms. Vera know why she was so popular in this industry before?"

"Lin Xiaoruo's top-notch PR team was specially created for her by Gu Moxuan. How much of the good stuff do you think they'd give you?"

She stood before her, a smile playing on her lips.

For a moment, Vera felt as if her future was entirely in her own hands.

With just a word from her, her budding career would immediately crumble and collapse.

"How did you know?"

She met with Lin Xiaoruo and accepted Lin Xiaoruo's advances; no one except her and her agent knew about it.

Vera glanced suspiciously at her agent beside her.

The agent immediately shook his head.

Lin Qingran smiled wryly and put away Vera's contract.

"Prepare the penalty for breach of contract and then come talk to me."

Vera paused for a moment before remembering that although Lin Qingran was the owner of this small public relations company, she was also the stunningly talented third young lady of the Lin family.

Lin Xiaoruo uses her status as a socialite from the Lin family to create hype, but she is nothing more than an adopted daughter.

With Gu Moxuan backing her up, she attracted Vera, but forgot that Lin Qingran was no simple character either.
