After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

She quickly suppressed the coldness on her lips, glanced at the waiter who had just served Shen Tianling the wine, and after receiving the woman's gaze, the waiter nodded and then respectfully withdrew.

Xu Xinran stared at the empty wine glass in her hand with a half-smile, then lowered her eyes in mockery.

He thinks he can outsmart her with such petty tricks... Well, let him experience what it's like to be drugged.

Hopefully, the gift she prepared for him won't disappoint him.

On the other side, Shen Tianling had just stepped out of the elevator and hadn't even reached the hotel entrance when he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his body. The burning desire made him feel like he wanted to burn him to ashes from head to toe.

Shen Tianling was drenched in sweat, his breath robbed by the burning sensation. Driven by the effects of the drug, he had no time to think and acted solely on his body's instincts.

Just as Shen Tianling's face was flushed and he was sweating profusely, a woman suddenly passed by in the hotel corridor.

Shen Tianling instinctively pressed against it. His mind was a mess, and all his consciousness was screaming wildly, trying to relieve the heat in his body immediately.

The woman paused, and seeing the man's enthusiasm, a sly glint flashed in her eyes. She reached out her slender yet strong arms, wrapped them around the man's neck, and used the leverage to half-pull, half-drag him onto her shoulder. Then, she pushed open the hotel room door...

Zhou Yu hung up the video call and returned to the meeting room.

Upon seeing Zhou Yu, Xu Xinran stepped forward to greet him, naturally taking his arm and whispering, "Let's go home."

"Oh……"

As Zhou Yu walked out, the woman linked her arm with his, and he glanced around with a puzzled look in his eyes. He asked, "I think I saw my cousin come to talk to you just now, but where did he go?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xinran's eyes darkened, and she immediately distanced herself from the situation, not forgetting to express her sincerity as well, "I didn't. I'm not familiar with him. Even if he contacted me, we wouldn't have anything to talk about. You're the only one in my heart. I don't even look at other men."

Hearing the woman's words, Zhou Yu felt a sweet warmth in his heart. "When I answered the phone just now, I think I really saw my cousin."

"I wonder where they're having fun."

"All right……"

The day after the banquet, school officially started.

Xu Xinran got up early to prepare breakfast herself, and then personally took Zhou Yu to school, showing her meticulous care.

As soon as Zhou Yu entered the classroom, he saw his classmates sitting in their seats, looking gossipy and whispering about something.

Zhou Yu's curiosity was piqued, so he put down his bag and joined in.

"Have you heard? Shen Tianling, that guy who's recently gained some fame in Paris, was caught by the media having an affair with a voluptuous woman in the hotel above the Xu Group's press conference yesterday!"

"I just saw it too. I heard this has caused quite a stir. But it's no wonder. How could a foreign model break into Parisian high society so easily? There must be someone behind her."

"But he's too bold! He could have just found a normal sugar daddy to patronize him. What was he thinking, choosing such an ugly woman?"

Hearing everyone's words, Zhou Yu's lips parted slightly in shock as he sat blankly among his classmates.

Shen Tianling?

model?

Ugly older sister?!

However, he did seem to see his brother going upstairs to his room at the banquet hall yesterday. Could it be that his cousin really...

Zhou Yu was startled by his own thoughts. He leaned forward slightly and glanced at the phone in his classmate's hand.

Upon seeing this, he was immediately speechless.

The screen not only showed photos of the hotel, but also explicit photos of the two entangled in bed, which have been made public.

The man in the photo has a flushed face and his body is blurred out; he appears in public like this and is the subject of everyone's discussion.

Against the backdrop of this picture, a barrage of harsh comments in the media caused Shen Tianling's carefully cultivated reputation to plummet to rock bottom, beyond redemption.

My cousin really slept with someone else last night.

Although Zhou Yu was surprised, his relationship with Shen Tianling had always been unremarkable, and since this was ultimately someone else's private matter, he didn't delve too deeply into it.

Soon the professor walked in with his presentation slides, and everyone immediately fell silent and dispersed. Zhou Yu also looked away from the offensive photos and focused on his studies.

The Paris branch of the Xu Group.

In the president's office on the 32nd floor, Xu Xinran sat behind a huge solid wood desk, her slender, snow-white fingers swiping across the screen, her thin lips curling into a gloomy and cold smile, clearly having seen the report about Shen Tianling.

It could be said that everything was a scheme she orchestrated.

She just didn't expect Shen Tianling to be so unlucky, encountering such a person outside the hotel, even worse than the person she originally wanted to arrange.

However, the woman felt no pity in her eyes, because this kind of person had only brought it upon himself and did not deserve sympathy; all the bad consequences were his own doing.

Xu Xinran opened Zhou Yu's WeChat page, tapped a few times, and sent him a text message: "Come out after lunch break. I'll wait for you at the coffee shop outside the school, and we can have lunch together."

After sending the message, Xu Xinran got up, picked up her car keys, and strode away.

There were two classes in the morning, and during the fifteen-minute break, Zhou Yu was surrounded and interrogated by his classmates like a national treasure.

"Zhou Yu, you're really not being fair! You kept the fact that you're Xu Goddess's husband a secret from us? Don't you consider us your friends?"

"But speaking of which, how does it feel to marry your goddess? Tell us, do you two... do you... do it every night?"

As he spoke, the students around him burst out laughing.

With everyone studying so much every day, there are only a few things left to gossip about, so of course we can't miss this opportunity.

Faced with the shining eyes of his classmates, Zhou Yu was really at a loss. He could only sit in the middle and smile awkwardly, occasionally making a few perfunctory remarks.

The topic gradually changed, and everyone was talking about how Xian Chu's love was like this. Zhou Yu listened in the middle and suddenly became a little dazed.

He and Xu Xinran have been married for so many years, and they've always faced all sorts of ridicule and sarcasm...

Zhou Yu lowered his eyes. He thought that his marriage with Xu Xinran would just go through the motions for the rest of his life, but he never expected that he would be surrounded by people who would compare him to Xu Xinran and make fun of him.

Such a life was completely unexpected for him, and he even began to wonder whether it was an illusion or a reality.

How did Xu Xinran suddenly change her personality?

Suddenly, a notification sound rang out on my phone.

Zhou Yu picked up his phone, and after seeing the text message Xu Xinran had sent him, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't stop smiling sweetly.

All his worries were probably unnecessary, since he was watching her every day and her genuine feelings couldn't be faked.

During the second half of the class, the professor who was supposed to be teaching the course took leave, and the course was temporarily canceled.

With two hours left before lunch break, Zhou Yu planned to go directly to Xu Xinran's company to find her. He originally wanted to surprise her, but he was afraid she might be away for work.

So he picked up his phone and dialed Xu Xinran's number.

Surprisingly, the phone kept playing a busy tone, and Zhou Yu made several calls, but no one answered.
