Return to before death

Remembering Song Lin who had just been kicked out, they looked around in fear, and only breathed a heavy sigh of relief after confirming that no one was around.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" These two very ordinary questions came out of the mouth of a security guard who looked relatively young.

The other security guard simply stood aside, looking at Yan Ran with a questioning gaze.

"I'm delivering something to President Sheng." Yan Ran raised the hand carrying the item to show her purpose.

It's not that she's deliberately stalling for time, but rather that Sheng Xuanling's men aren't letting her in, so she can't be blamed.

Even after she said that, the two security guards still showed no intention of letting her go, though hesitation appeared in their eyes.

Since they were delivering something to President Sheng, they shouldn't have stopped him, but President Sheng was clearly angry right now, and if they angered him, the two of them would be the ones to suffer.

Even the finance manager was kicked out, let alone these two lackeys. This time, everyone in Shengshi Haoting realized who the real master was, and that even if he wasn't there, no one could pry into his things.

"You can't afford to take responsibility for delaying us." Yan Ran stood there lazily, the sun shining lazily on her.

The two were startled. Could it be that this woman had a close relationship with President Sheng?

But Liu Xinyin had only been gone a short while. Even if Sheng Xuanling liked beauties, he shouldn't be so blatant about it.

For a moment, the two hesitated, unsure whether to stop them or not.

"What are you doing here? Acting as door gods?" A distinctly gloomy voice came from behind Yan Ran, and she felt a chill rise from behind, making her inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Vice President." When the two saw the person behind Yan Ran, they quickly lowered their heads and looked very respectful.

Clearly, that person was Sheng Xuankao, the vice president of Shengshi Haoting.

"And who are you? You don't look like a company employee. Don't loiter around here if you have nothing to do." Sheng Xuan walked straight past Yan Ran. He stopped in his tracks when he saw her face. Wasn't this the woman who suddenly appeared at the hospital and ruined his plans last time? What was she doing here?

A fleeting shadow crossed his eyes. "Come in with me."

He had searched for so long without finding her, and now she suddenly appeared in front of him, a lamb delivered to his door, and he had no reason not to accept it.

Yan Ran stood there without moving an inch, and naturally she remembered who the person in front of her was.

Looking at his expression, she inexplicably felt no goodwill towards this man. He exuded a cold aura and was clearly not someone to be trifled with. Going with him would be like courting death.

Moreover, this is a grand mansion, and he is the vice president. Even if he did something, no one would know.

"Didn't you want to come in? I let you in, but now you're not?" Sheng Xuan's eyes showed dissatisfaction. He stared at Yan Ran as if she were his prey, ready to pounce and tear her apart at any moment.

Yan Ran lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembling, making her look pitiful.

She spoke haltingly, like a frightened little rabbit, "I...I'm here to see President Sheng. If he doesn't see me, he'll definitely cause me trouble."

This is more than just a little troublesome, she silently added in her mind.

She originally came here to make up for standing Sheng Xuanling up last time. If she stood him up again, he might fly into a rage.

Just thinking about that scene made Yan Ran tremble. This scene was witnessed by the three people present, who thought that Yan Ran was terrified of Sheng Xuanling.

As for the relationship between the two, it also gives rise to much speculation.

"I was just about to go see President Sheng, shall we go together?" Sheng Xuan invited Yan Ran again, emphasizing the words "President Sheng" so that she couldn't find a reason to refuse him.

"Okay." Yan Ran replied softly, following behind Sheng Xuan, her head bowed so low she wished she could disappear into the floor.

A strange emotion flashed in her eyes as she followed him into the elevator, keeping a distance from him in a corner the entire time.

She had a particularly bad feeling about this person, and with the mindset of avoiding trouble if possible, she could only pretend to be someone she didn't want to cause. Once she got to Sheng Xuanling, she would be free.

However, Sheng Xuankao clearly wasn't going to let her off so easily.

"What? Are you afraid of me?" Sheng Xuan pulled closer to her, placing a hand discreetly on her waist, facing the camera. "You weren't like this before."

Yan Ran's hands clenched so tightly they cracked. She had been so patient with this man, yet he was pushing his luck... It was truly...

She instinctively raised her foot and kicked the man hard between his legs, just like before.

This time, however, her foot was held by Sheng Xuan.

A smile appeared on his face. "See? That's it. No wonder you were afraid of me, you audacious woman."

"Ding……"

Just then, the elevator stopped and the doors slowly opened.

Sheng Xuanling looked at the two people in the elevator, a brief look of surprise in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by indifference.

"So that's why you haven't shown up for so long. You were flirting with my brother in the elevator." His cold gaze swept over the two of them, then he snorted at the plastic bag Yan Ran was carrying.

Yan Ran naturally knew that he was talking to her, and struggled a little, but to no avail.

Sheng Xuan seemed not to hear, staring intently at Yan Ran. Anyone who didn't know them would think they were a couple deeply in love.

He gripped Yan Ran's ankle tightly and chuckled, "So you're my brother's woman. But I remember your sister-in-law just left not long ago."

He emphasized the word "brother" heavily, and the following sentence clearly indicated that Yan Ran was a mistress who seduced her husband while his wife was away.

Considering what Sheng Xuanling said earlier, this affair involved two people, making this kind of promiscuous woman absolutely despicable.

"Is it exciting to be watched by others?" Before Yan Ran could explain, Sheng Xuanling retorted without hesitation, every word from the two brothers was aimed at her.

For no reason, she felt a surge of resentment, but she quickly suppressed it.

Anyone who opens the elevator and sees this scene will have all sorts of thoughts.

She took a deep breath, looked into Sheng Xuankao's eyes, and said, word by word, "Let go."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xuan released his hand, and Yan Ran almost fell due to loss of balance. Fortunately, she managed to grab the handrail inside the elevator in time. However, the soup she was carrying was not so lucky and spilled all over the elevator.

A rich aroma of fish wafted from the elevator and reached Sheng Xuanling's nose.

His expression softened gradually, but his tone remained icy, as if he owed him eight million. "It just so happens that I have something to discuss with you. You've come at the perfect time."

He originally planned to pick up Yan Ran, since she hadn't come for so long and hadn't called, so who knew if something had happened to her.

But now, it's clear he's overthinking things.

She doesn't look like anything's wrong at all.
