However, to Chivy, she was just making excuses for herself, and even those excuses that sounded reasonable at first glance.

Putting aside the fact that normal people don't move so frequently, the fact that he wanted to go see Jiang Yan was something that no one except Shen Ru knew. If Jiang Yan really did sense something in advance, it was from Shen Ru who revealed it.

Plus a fake address...

So no matter what, Shen Ru cannot escape responsibility.

"I give you money and do things for you, and that's what we do in exchange—it's my choice. But that doesn't give you the right to try and fool me with some cheap junk. Where do you get the audacity to lie to me?"

Qiwei's tone was vicious. He had been intimidated by Han Mingrui for no reason, and they had almost gotten into a fight. He had to be so humble to save himself and stand on the same side as Han Mingrui. He was determined to get revenge on Shen Ru for this.

So he became that arrogant and domineering Qiwei again, even becoming more and more outrageous.

"I don't understand a word you're saying. I told you that's Jiang Yan's house. If you can't find her, it's because you're incompetent and keep asking me questions. It's so annoying!"

Shen Ru was already in a bad mood, and Qi Wei's questions made her almost explode.

"I was already reluctant to ask you for help before, but you insisted on asking me, so of course I had to set conditions. If you felt it wasn't suitable, you didn't have to use me, which you agreed to. Now that I've brought you what you wanted, whether it's real or fake is none of my business anymore. What do you mean? You still want me to handle after-sales service? You're dreaming."

Qiwei really wanted to slap Shen Ru across the face, but today wasn't his home turf. He could vent his anger, but he couldn't steal Han Mingrui's thunder.

So he simply asked, "So you admit it?"

"Admit what?" Shen Ru, who was known for her sharp tongue, raised her voice even higher.

"The address doesn't matter if it's real or fake, it's the one you gave me," Qiwei said.

Shen Ru felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she simply replied, "Yes, you asked me to get it from Jiang Yan, and I did, and I gave it to her..."

"Qiwei told me before that you gave him the address, and I didn't quite believe it. But now, seeing what Miss Shen has done, I really can't help but believe it."

Before Shen Ru could finish speaking, Han Mingrui walked out from the side, accompanied by his bodyguards and thugs.

"And who are you?" Shen Ru's eyes widened in surprise. She was utterly astonished. What kind of nonsense was this? One after another, they all came looking for her.

“Our young master is from the Han family, President Han Mingrui,” a bodyguard stepped forward to explain.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ru finally realized that things were not so simple.

She knew exactly what Qiwei was capable of. After all, they were classmates before. So after she gave Qiwei that uncertain address, she had considered many possibilities. In the end, she felt that Qiwei wouldn't dare to do anything to her. He would just ask her for compensation or something. Anyway, the money had already been spent, so Qiwei definitely couldn't do anything to her.

But Han Mingrui was clearly not someone to be trifled with. He was dressed in a bespoke suit, his hair was styled very well, and he had an outstanding presence. He was also followed by more than a dozen bodyguards, making a formidable impression.

Shen Ru knew that the Han family, one of the five major families in Yuzhou, was among them.

It was unexpected that Qiwei knew such an important person; she had miscalculated.

If it were just Qiwei asking for help, that would be fine. Who would genuinely help someone? Shen Ru herself is a prime example. She took the benefits and did her best to help. If all else failed, she would at least put on a show. That was more than enough. What more could she ask for?

But judging from what he just said, it seems that Han Mingrui was also involved.

She couldn't understand why this address had offended the young master of the Han family again.

Isn't Qiwei just making trouble for her?

One or two of them don't want her to have an easy time!

Shen Ru grew angrier the more she thought about it, but she maintained a good image on the surface and asked Han Mingrui in a soft voice, "Young Master Han, what do you mean by this? What's wrong with that address?"

This change in tone from when she spoke to Qiwei earlier revealed that, even now, she was still thinking that if she could win over Han Mingrui and catch his eye, she would never have to worry about wealth and luxury again...

"All you need to know is that Young Master Han suffered heavy losses after taking the address you gave him, and that's enough," Qi Wei said coldly.

"What? I gave you the address. Han Shao got it because you gave it to him. What does it have to do with me?" Shen Ru thought quickly.

This statement sounds quite appropriate at first glance.

She explained to Han Shao, "I knew absolutely nothing about this, Han Shao. If you want to get your losses back, you shouldn't be coming to me..."

"Enough!" Han Mingrui roared. He didn't have the patience to argue with Shen Ru. He simply said, "I'll give you two choices: either pay me back, or I'll find a way to get something from you to compensate me. Choose one."

He'd seen plenty of women like Shen Ru, and had slept with many of them; there was nothing new about it.

However, he had also developed a skill that allowed him to tell at a glance what a woman was up to.

Normally, I might play around with it just for the novelty, but things are different now...

Today's actions at the villa have almost alerted Qin Yiheng. If they want to deal with Qin Yiheng again, they will have to find another way. This is something that Shen Ru alone cannot compensate for.

Han Mingrui felt he had suffered heavy losses and asking for money was the bare minimum.

Qiwei immediately took out the bill. Since Han Mingrui was backing him up, he was going to get back everything he had given to Shen Ru. The bill had already been printed out on the way.

They dumped out a whole bunch of things, all sorts of them, and they immediately asked for 30 million.

"Are you guys crazy?"

Shen Ru couldn't care less about anything else and exclaimed in surprise, no longer even in the mood to please Han Mingrui.

Thirty million?

Will she be able to earn 30 million in her entire career?

Shen Ru also admitted that she was a vain person.

When you have money, you want everything to be good, from food and clothing to housing and transportation. You want everything that others have, regardless of whether you need it or not.

So after working for so many years, she doesn't even have 30,000 yuan in savings.

If she could come up with that much money, why would she have needed to ask Qiwei for it in the first place to save face, and then ask Jiang Yan for her address in exchange for it, which led to all this trouble?

"Stop talking nonsense." Han Mingrui's voice was louder and more imposing than hers.

"I can't come up with that much money. You're extorting me! This is outrageous..." Shen Ru said, about to call the police.

But she was incredibly naive in this respect.
