Above the High Tower

After Shen Xiyi fled her marriage, Liang Juancheng pursued her thousands of miles to bring her back.

Rumor had it that the ruthless and cunning playboy loved Shen Xiyi to his core.

Howe...

Chapter 265: Fishing for me?

Liang Nian thought that Shen Xiyi would be angry with her because her plans were disrupted, and she was mentally prepared.

But what she got was still her gentle voice, and she did not blame her.

"sister in law?"

"Since the problem isn't as serious as you thought, it shouldn't be difficult for you to leave Liangyuan now."

Now that Zhong Fangyuan is here, Liang Nian can be released.

Liang Nian was stunned. She hadn't thought about what to do next. She always felt that Shen Xiyi would take care of it all and she wouldn't have to worry about anything.

She planned to shrink into her own yard like a turtle forever, facing nothing.

But now Liang Nian actually wants her to leave Liang Yuanqun and face everything.

Seeing Liang Nian's surprised and uneasy face, Shen Xiyi couldn't help but frown: "Are you afraid or unwilling? Zhong Fangyuan has come to Nancheng now. Since the plan has changed, we can only change the method. At least we have to get something from him that can threaten you."

Shen Xiyi felt that this kind of thing was the most troublesome. Who knew if Zhong Fangyuan had any backup?

The endless extortion is what is annoying.

Liang Nian felt that this matter was thrilling just thinking about it. Zhong Fangyuan was such a cunning person, how could he easily get those videos from him? What if he went back on his word?

“Liang Nian, the best way to get rid of the inner demon is to kill it yourself.” Shen Xiyi did not give Liang Nian a chance to retreat.

Liang Nian's expression froze, and he didn't respond for a long time.

But she knew that Shen Xiyi would not let her back down, and it was impossible for her to be a tortoise.

"I'll do whatever you say."

"Starting tomorrow, go to work as usual. If anyone talks behind your back, just slap them. No need to talk nonsense. Your brother will follow up with compensation."

Liang Nian's eyes were wide open, she was in disbelief. Even though she was a rich lady, she had never hit anyone casually.

"Sister-in-law, I have never hit anyone."

"Then try it. You hit people who spread rumors and caused trouble for no reason. They are not innocent people. You could have sued them for defamation, but you only slapped them. It's your generosity."

Liang Nian stared at Shen Xiyi blankly. Over the years, no one had ever taught her that she could hit someone so righteously.

In the past, when they called her a fool, she would pretend to know nothing even if she heard it.

She didn't want to lose those so-called 'friends'.

After getting to know Shen Xiyi, I realized that I don’t need a lot of friends. Two or three useful friends are enough.

"I see."

Zhong Fangyuan came to Nancheng but did not make a big fuss. He just had fun, hoping that the Liang family would come to him in person.

However, after ten days or half a month, the Liang family turned a deaf ear to his appearance and did not take any action.

Zhong Fangyuan's patience was gradually worn out, so he found Rong Yan's residence.

When Rong Yan saw Zhong Fangyuan outside the door, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was frightened out of her wits.

"What are you doing here?" Rong Yan said as she pulled Zhong Fangyuan into the room.

Zhong Fangyuan turned around and watched Rong Yan cautiously close the door, frowning unhappily: "Is there a ghost outside your door? Is it worth being so cautious?"

"You are from the Liang family. Why did you come to Nancheng?" Before this, Rong Yan had never received any accurate news about Zhong Fangyuan coming to Nancheng.

His appearance here today is even scarier than a ghost.

Zhong Fangyuan ignored Rong Yan's question and walked into the living room and sat down.

"I've already repaid the favor I owe you. What I do in the future has nothing to do with you. I came here to ask you what's going on between Liang Nian and Xu Yuanmo."

Zhong Fangyuan casually picked up a bag of tea leaves on the coffee table and sniffed it. His tone was nonchalant, as if he was just asking casually.

It was night time now, and Rong Yan hadn't turned on the lights. The light in the house came entirely from the street lamps coming in from outside.

Zhong Fangyuan raised his leg and stared at Rong Yan in the dark with a frivolous look.

"Aren't there enough rumors outside?" Rong Yan said this, as if she realized something.

She slowly walked up to him, her voice getting deeper and deeper: "Could it be that you fell in love with Liang Nian at first sight?"

No wonder Liang Nian was able to come back safely. She had clearly hinted to him that Liang Nian must not be allowed to come back alive.

Before, she thought that it was because the Liang family’s connections were too powerful, but now she thinks that Zhong Fangyuan also played a significant role in it.

Zhong Fangyuan grinned: "You are allowed to think about other people's husbands, but I am not allowed to fall in love with someone else's wife at first sight?"

Liang Nian is not only beautiful, but also has fair skin and a thin and soft waist. It feels so good to touch her.

Such a beauty is naturally worth his everlasting memory.

Rong Yan: "The Liang family has no intention of letting you go. This time they are probably setting you up for a trap. Zhong Fangyuan, you are really crazy."

With Zhong Fangyuan's many years of experience in society, how could he not see that this was the Liang family's plan.

Zhong Fangyuan leaned on the sofa, his posture casual and relaxed, not paying attention to Rong Yan's nervous look.

"Then I want to see how they will lure me into a trap."

"The Liang family's private affairs are all handled by the young Mrs. Liang. Liang Junchen rarely asks about them. How can you win in a patience contest with her?"

This was something Rong Yan had not expected before. She did not expect that Liang Nian would have a sister-in-law who was so good at strategizing and scheming.

It can be seen from her high-profile search for someone that Mrs. Liang does not follow the ordinary path and does not play by the rules. She is the most difficult to deal with.

This new character made Zhong Fangyuan a little curious: "Oh? There is such a powerful woman."

He always felt that most women in the inland had little autonomy and were mostly appendages of men.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen how great it is to be someone’s wife.

"I heard that Liang Nian has gone out to work. You can go find her." Rong Yan's voice sounded tired.

She hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time and was suffering from severe neurasthenia.

Zhong Fangyuan slowly lowered his legs and leaned forward: "Are you deliberately trying to trick me?"

"Maybe. Anyway, be careful and don't fall into their trap. If they do, it will be bad for me."

Zhong Fangyuan left satisfied after getting the information he wanted from Rong Yan. The whole process took no more than half an hour.

After Zhong Fangyuan left, the spy who had been hiding nearby immediately sent a message to Shen Xiyi.

Shen Xiyi looked at Lu Xue who was waiting for orders beside him: "I'm sorry to bother you so late."

"Madam, just tell me if you need anything." How could Lu Xue find it troublesome? This was her job. A bodyguard's job required them to be on call at all times.

"During this period, you can go to and from get off work with Liang Nian. You don't have to be too close, as long as she is within your protection." Shen Xiyi thought about it and felt uneasy.

Lu Xue is her personal bodyguard, so she can use him with confidence.
