Return to before death

Sheng Liuli patted Liu Xinyin's hand calmly to comfort her, then smoothed things over, saying, "It was my oversight. I was so happy to see you come back that I forgot. Don't stand here, come and sit down. I've already made tea."

After saying that, she pulled Liu Xinyin to sit on the sofa first.

Sheng Xuanling didn't know what to say, so she just sat down with Yan Ran with a cold face.

Sheng Liuli's words were perfectly timed, and she had already prepared tea before their return. It was simply illogical to say that her hospitality was lacking.

My younger brother was so happy that he hadn't been home for a long time that he forgot about things for a moment, which is perfectly normal.

After Yan Ran took her seat, she calmly picked up her teacup and took a sip. Her poised and graceful demeanor surprised Sheng Liuli.

She thought that Yan Ran would be a little reserved after what had just happened, since she had heard that Yan Ran was just a reporter who had come from a different background.

She only came into contact with wealthy families after marrying Zong Zhengqing. Apart from those who think they are superior just because they married into a wealthy family, most people who marry into wealthy families will feel inferior to some extent.

It's obvious that Yan Ran doesn't have any of these qualities.

"Liuli, I've discovered so many interesting things outside these past few days. Do you want me to tell you about them?" Liu Xinyin broke the silence, moving closer to Sheng Liuli. The two were like inseparable best friends.

Sheng Liuli went along with her wishes, smiling as she reached out and gently tapped her nose. "You, you're still so mischievous. Tell me what interesting thing happened."

The two chatted as if no one else was around, but fortunately, neither Sheng Xuanling nor Yan Ran were interested in participating, so they didn't feel awkward.

“I saw a married woman who kept pestering a man, and that man wasn’t even her husband. Don’t you think that’s interesting?” Liu Xinyin spoke eloquently, her gaze inadvertently glancing at Yan Ran.

It was obvious that the woman she was referring to was Yan Ran.

“You’re not a virtuous woman, Xinyin, you must never learn from this kind of person, understand?” Sheng Liuli naturally understood what Liu Xinyin meant.

Her gaze toward Yan Ran held a newfound inquisitiveness. Was this the woman who had been constantly bothering Xiao Ling?

"Xiao Ling, spend more time with Xin Yin when you have time. After all, she's your fiancée. Don't make her feel too wronged. You're getting married soon, so try to control your temper." She turned to Sheng Xuanling and said.

Then, as if remembering something, he continued, "It's rare for you to come back. Dad is waiting for you in the room. Also, please don't bring guests home in the future."

When Sheng Huayan was mentioned, Sheng Xuanling's eyes filled with wariness, after all, this was a secret of the Sheng family.

Why did he impulsively bring Yan Ran home?

"I understand. I'll go upstairs and check on Dad first."

"it is good."

After Sheng Xuanling left, only three women remained in the large living room.

Liu Xinyin stared at Yan Ran with hostility, while Sheng Liuli looked at her with a smile on her face.

Clearly, Sheng Liuli deliberately sent Sheng Xuanling away, so that she would have no one to rely on and could do whatever they wanted.

"Mrs. Zong." Sheng Liuli had a standard smile on her face. "I heard you've been getting quite close to Xiao Ling lately? I don't mean anything by it, but Xiao Ling has a fiancée, and you have a husband. Being too intimate will inevitably attract gossip."

Yan Ran put down her teacup and looked at Sheng Liuli with serious eyes. "Miss Sheng, you should say this to Mr. Sheng, not to me. I have no say in his social life."

But what he said was unsatisfactory, making people grit their teeth in anger.

Fortunately, everyone sitting here came from a prestigious family, and they all maintained smiles on their faces, looking like smiling tigers.

“If one party refuses, I don’t think Xiao Ling would ever throw herself at him.” Sheng Liuli casually toyed with her teacup, then suddenly looked up, a cold glint in her eyes.

Yan Ran was secretly startled, not expecting the usually gentle Sheng Liuli to have this side to her, but she remained calm and said, "Miss Sheng is joking."

It seems like it's always Sheng Xuanling who comes to her, and it's quite possible that he's the one who's throwing himself at her.

"Mrs. Zong, you've been married before. Tell me, if your husband were entangled with other women, would you feel comfortable?" Liu Xinyin couldn't help but speak up, her eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous glint.

The contrast before and after greatly surprised Yan Ran.

So, having a powerful backer really makes one more imposing?

She chuckled to herself, thinking, "They're just using someone else's power to bully me."

However, when Liu Xinyin's question was mentioned, she suddenly remembered that Lan Ke had caused trouble at the Zong family, and she was indeed upset.

But what do other people's feelings have to do with her?

“Miss Liu, aren’t you being a bit too extreme? Mr. Sheng and I are just ordinary friends. Why don’t you talk to the woman who has an ambiguous relationship with Mr. Sheng, but instead keep harping on me? Just like you said, I am a married woman. May I ask, doesn’t Mr. Sheng like beautiful women? How could a woman like me catch his eye?”

Her words left Liu Xinyin speechless.

Indeed, every woman Sheng Xuanling dates has an enviable figure and a beautiful face.

His pursuit of a near-perfect physique is evident in figures like Yan Ran's...

Liu Xinyin looked her up and down. She was thin, but some extra flesh around her waist was still unavoidable. However, her face was quite nice.

However, she witnessed Sheng Xuanling getting close to Yan Ran more than once, and when she thought about that incident, a strong sense of crisis inexplicably rose in her heart.

We absolutely cannot let Yan Ran appear in front of Sheng Xuanling again.

That's what she's thinking right now.

“But now Xuanling is getting very close to you, so I have to be careful. If I happen to overlook this one day, someone will take advantage of me,” Liu Xinyin said meaningfully.

The oversight had already occurred; all she could do was try to stop it from escalating.

Since Sheng Xuanling doesn't know, then let him never uncover that secret in his lifetime. She will still be Mrs. Sheng.

“I’ve said it before, I have no say in Mr. Sheng’s social life. You should say these things to Mr. Sheng, not to me. I don’t want to repeat myself a third time.”

Why do they all keep harping on this? She has made it clear to them that she and Sheng Xuanling are at most just friends, and it was he who came to her!

Why can't they understand?

Yan Ran was internally frantic, wishing she could rush forward, grab them, and yell three times into their ears.

She has nothing to do with Sheng Xuanling!

She has absolutely no relation to Sheng Xuanling!

You should talk to him about Sheng Xuanling's social relationships, not to her!

Although her heart was in turmoil, she maintained a smile on her face, though her lips twitched slightly when no one was watching.

"Oh? Are you talking about me?" Sheng Xuanling was coming downstairs when she looked at Liu Xinyin with a hint of anger in her eyes.

It seems they took advantage of his absence to bully his "guests".
