Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

Seeing Gong Xiaochen's suddenly tense jawline, Wen Shengsheng sighed.

“I never thought of it that way.” Her tone was frank and certain. “Besides, I don’t believe you never wondered why Du Yuan’s car suddenly broke down?”

"When Zhou Xiang kidnapped me, he said he knew I was your girlfriend and that you weren't in Beijing last night, so there was no way you could come to rescue me! But in the end, Xi Yu came and easily rescued me, thus ending the matter."

"How can there be so many coincidences?"

Listening to her analysis, Gong Xiaochen's expression finally softened, his hands resumed their movements, and he even said something encouraging.

"go on."

Wen Shengsheng pursed her lips. "The person who is targeting me this time is obviously much more capable than Su Rui. He knows my situation very well, and even your situation, mine, and Xi Yu's situation. That's why he was able to devise such a meticulous and almost unsolvable plan!"

"But in the end, Xi Jianguo exposed the truth with a single sentence, which led to Xi Yu taking me away. And just then, you came back and saw me with Xi Yu!"

"I thought about it all morning and suddenly realized that his purpose was not to harm me, but to exacerbate the conflict between you and Xi Yu. If the Hongyuan project loses the support of Qingshan Capital and its reputation in the industry is ruined, it will be completely abandoned!"

"Fortunately, Brother Yu is a gentleman; we didn't do anything..."

Otherwise, she wouldn't even dare to imagine what the scene would be like now.

No matter how good Gong Xiaochen is to her, it's all based on loyalty. If she dares to do anything to betray him, he'll probably start wielding that baton again.

After finally wiping Wen Shengsheng clean, Gong Xiaochen tossed the towel aside and nodded indifferently.

"I knew you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be even smarter than I thought."

"But you've been analyzing this all morning..." He was like a tiger that could change its expression, his sharp eyes instantly filled with danger. "Wen Shengsheng, are you insulting me?"

Wen Shengsheng: "...It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."

“I care a lot!” he said, while forcefully pressing down on Wen Shengsheng. “I’m not exactly a gentleman.”

Wen Shengsheng was speechless. She was already exhausted, and then Gong Xiaochen had tormented her for a while.

She wouldn't have been able to rest if his phone hadn't suddenly rang.

After making the call, Gong Xiaochen said he had to go out for a while.

Wen Shengsheng grabbed his hand.

"I know you did that on purpose. You didn't want me to get involved in this anymore, so you changed the subject and dragged me into it."

"Go ahead and do it if you want, but remember to tell me the results."

Gong Xiaochen's expression stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment, then he seemed to pat Wen Shengsheng's head helplessly.

"Sheng Sheng, do you know? Sometimes it's not a good thing for a woman to be too smart. It can put a lot of pressure on men."

Wen Shengsheng rolled her eyes at him, "If I were stupid, it would be you, you old fox, who would have fooled me completely."

"Hehe." Gong Xiaochen chuckled and took a small box from his pocket. "This is the reward I promised you. You should rest well at home. I might be back very late."

He actually brought her a gift!?

Wen Shengsheng immediately became interested and couldn't wait to open the box as soon as he left.

It was a Hetian jade safety buckle, pure white, like the first snow of winter.

It has an exquisite and compact shape, and feels smooth and soft to the touch.

I never expected that Gong Xiaochen would give me jewelry.

Wen Shengsheng immediately put it on around her neck with great joy.

I've heard that jade is good for your health, and wearing it often is also beneficial.

She was looking at herself in the mirror when her phone rang.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Wen Shengsheng was both surprised and delighted, and quickly answered the call.

"cousin."

On the other end of the phone, Song Jing's cheerful voice rang out, "Sheng Sheng, I'm back in Beijing. Let's meet up tonight and have a drink!"

"Okay, you decide the time and place, it's on me."

"Forget it, you're always broke, don't worry about it. I've arranged a place and I'll send you a message." Song Jing refused directly.

Wen Shengsheng wasn't angry at all; on the contrary, she was very happy.

When her parents passed away, her uncle became her guardian.

Her uncle treated her well, but he was a bit timid and always listened to her aunt.

Unfortunately, her aunt was selfish, mean, and very domineering.

Therefore, she only stayed at her uncle's house for less than two months before she wanted to leave and return to her own home in Jiuru Mansion.

Auntie has already been urging Uncle to take charge of a lot of the Wen family's assets. The house in Jiuru Mansion is in a good location and is big, and she wants it too.

Throughout this ordeal, it was all thanks to her older cousin, Song Jing, who helped her not only get her house back but also a portion of her parents' inheritance, giving her some living expenses.

So after that, Wen Shengsheng hardly contacted her uncle's family, but she kept in touch with her older cousin the only one she kept in touch with.

The two are both sisters and friends.

Wen Shengsheng wasn't sure what time Gong Xiaochen would be back, so she told him in advance to avoid him not finding her when he came back in the evening.

It took about ten minutes for Gong Xiaochen to reply.

He sent Wen Shengsheng a restaurant message and made a reservation for her.

A high-end Michelin-starred French restaurant.

Although Wen Shengsheng was unfamiliar with the industry, she knew that most of these restaurants were members-only and not just anyone could go.

However, not wanting to refuse his kindness, she sent the message to Song Jing.

When they arrived at the agreed restaurant that evening, before Wen Shengsheng could even greet them, Song Jing was completely stunned.

"Sheng Sheng, did you finally win over Xi Yu? You even brought me to such a high-class restaurant!"

Song Jing is a bright and charismatic beauty with a fiery and cheerful personality. She is quick-witted, outspoken, and has a chivalrous spirit, which is completely different from Wen Shengsheng's personality. However, this does not prevent them from having a very close relationship.

"Oh dear, cousin, don't talk nonsense. Our company has a partnership with this restaurant, so I was able to make a reservation."

"Really? Does Qingshan Capital have that much influence?"

A rough male voice came from behind Song Jing.

Wen Shengsheng looked at the newcomer with eyes full of surprise, yet not at all surprised.

"Cousin, is this your husband?"

The newcomer was named Huo Ling. He had an arrogant and unrestrained appearance and wore a black leather jacket. The metal zipper on his jacket gleamed coldly in the dim light, as if it were an extension of the dangerous aura emanating from him.

He walks with a nonchalant yet steady and powerful gait, exuding a unique kind of languor, like a cheetah lurking in the shadows.

A pair of shrewd eyes were now scrutinizing Wen Shengsheng.

This is Song Jing's future husband, who is also Wen Shengsheng's brother-in-law.

Song Jing has been working with him in the trade in Chuancheng for years, and they've made a fortune from it.

Of course, this was just a business deal on the surface. Her brother-in-law was quite a figure, known in the underworld as Master Huo.

He dropped out of school early and worked his way up from the bottom, having connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. Of course, his most impressive asset was his extensive network of contacts and information channels, making him virtually omniscient.

According to Song Jing, he also has a group of powerful henchmen under his command, and they are quite ruthless.

Song Jing blushed.

"What brother-in-law? He's just one of my suitors who insisted on following me around like a shadow today!"

"Your sister has officially recognized me, so you can't deny it now, Jingjing!" Huo Ling was very satisfied with the nickname Wen Shengsheng gave him, and affectionately put his hand on Song Jing's shoulder.

Song Jing immediately glared at him and pushed his hand away.

Wen Shengsheng has very few relatives. In her previous life, the only people she could call relatives were Song Jing and Huo Ling, who were standing before her.

She didn't have a good time at the Xi family's house back then, and the two of them always helped her with whatever she needed.

He is a very trustworthy person.

“If I say he’s my brother-in-law, then he’s definitely my brother-in-law. I can’t be wrong.” Wen Shengsheng smiled, took Song Jing’s arm and entered the restaurant. She also waved to Huo Ling behind her, “Come on, brother-in-law, let’s have a good chat. I’ll teach you how to win over my sister.”
