Chapter 471: Stealing a Chicken but Losing the Rice

A familiar voice sounded above my head.

Sheng Qianrui raised her head with great effort, and in her hazy vision she saw a blurry shadow. It was very tall, wearing a black baseball cap, and most of its face was covered by a black mask, with only a pair of eyes vaguely visible.

Sheng Qianrui staggered and stared for a long time before she could vaguely figure out who the other person was.

“Get out of here…!”

She slapped the hands in front of her eyes away and tried to stand up, but Song Yuchen held her up.

The faint scent of cologne mixed with tobacco on the man reminded her of another man who was always so pure and would not even give her an extra glance.

"Mr. Sheng, you shouldn't come to a place like this at this time."

Song Yuchen spoke in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being recognized. When he stood, he even bent his back slightly, deliberately changing his posture.

His voice was a little gentle as he said, "Where are you going? I'll take you back."

Sheng Qianrui wanted to push him away, but found that her limbs were as soft as cotton.

In a trance, she noticed that there were several men with obscene eyes standing behind Song Yuchen, staring at her with evil eyes and bad intentions.

She was stunned, and a trace of instinctive fear ran up her spine.

The remaining rationality told Sheng Qianrui that Song Yuchen was right. She stopped struggling and let Song Yuchen half-hugged and half-carried her out of the nightclub.

Go out.

The cold wind blew in her face, and Sheng Qianrui shivered. Her confused mind became a little clearer. Gradually, after being helped into the car by Song Yuchen, her consciousness and rationality returned to a certain extent.

Sheng Qianrui found herself sitting in the back seat of a black SUV, and Song Yuchen was handing her a bottle of mineral water.

"How do you feel? Drink some water first to sober up."

Song Yuchen had taken off his mask, but still had his hat on. Sitting in the driver's seat and turning around, his already handsome face looked even more profound in the dim car.

Sheng Qianrui's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't answer. She just stared at him intently: "Why are you here? Are you following me?"

Song Yuchen's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "I'm from Yaoxing. Why should I follow President Sheng? Even if I did, does President Sheng think I'd be stupid enough to come in person?"

Sheng Qianrui stopped talking.

Song Yuchen's eyes were filled with sincerity, and he sighed slightly, "I happened to be filming a notice nearby, and when I passed by here, I saw your car parked outside."

He paused. "I saw the news and the statement. Shengshi Group had no choice but to cut its losses. Are you... okay now?"

These words stabbed into Sheng Qianrui's heart like a knife.

Seeing Sheng Qianrui's expression suddenly darken, Song Yuchen paused and said, "Mr. Sheng did this to protect you. Besides, you really underestimated Xu Fangli's ability this time. She is very smart."

Sheng Qianrui's gloomy face suddenly froze. She reached out and grabbed Song Yuchen's tie, pulling him closer. "So you're here to mock me?! Who do you think you are to interfere with my business?!"

Song Yuchen let her pull him, his voice still calm: "Are you mocking Mr. Sheng and not feeling it? At this point, Mr. Sheng still can't tell who your real enemy is?"

"Mr. Sheng, Xu Fangli is smart, but without Han Xi's support, how could she have established herself so quickly in this fiercely competitive capital?"

"I lost to that bitch Xu Fangli this time, but I'm not stupid. Don't I know that the reason she dares to be so arrogant is because she has Han Xi behind her? I don't need you to remind me of these things!"

"Of course I know that Mr. Sheng is aware of this. I'm just reminding you that without Han Xi, how can Xu Fangli compare with you?"

“…”

"Mr. Sheng."

Song Yuchen's originally light brown pupils gradually darkened in color, becoming as dark as the night outside in this dim car.

"Do you want Han Xi to stand behind you? Do you want Xu Fangli to be left with nothing and disappear forever?"

Sheng Qianrui let go of her hand, gritted her teeth with a stern face: "What do you mean? That bitch...sooner or later I will make her lose everything, but this has nothing to do with you!"

"I can help you."

Sheng Qianrui was slightly startled and frowned: "What did you say?"

Song Yuchen suddenly leaned forward, lowered his voice, and put his lips almost to her ear: "I know Xu Fangli's secret, enough to destroy her marriage with Han Xi and destroy everything she has now."

Sheng Qianrui's pupils dilated slightly.

Alcohol and hatred were boiling in her veins, but her remaining rationality was still struggling. She looked inquiringly, "How did you know...why did you help me?"

Song Yuchen suddenly sat back down and turned around, leaving Sheng Qianrui with only a gloomy back. "You don't need to know this. President Sheng, just believe that I am the only one in this world who can help you. As long as you do as I say, everything you want and see will soon become a reality."

“…”

Tan Palace, Songtao Box.

The light and shadow from the crystal chandelier cast mottled and vibrant traces on the table.

Xu Fangli tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear and looked at the matsutake chicken soup bubbling in front of her. She finally felt her tense nerves of the past few days relax a little.

"Finally, we understand what happened! I never thought Shengshi Group would be so ruthless. Not only did they ruin Zhang Dechang, they even threw away Sheng Qianrui, their daughter. So, I say, Sheng Qianrui is a typical example of someone who loses more than they gain!"

Wen Yang tapped the edge of the bowl with a silver spoon, his eyes brightening dramatically. "Did you see the trending search that just topped the headlines?"

Wen Yang pulled out her phone with a look of interest, tapped it twice quickly, and handed it to Fang Li. "Look, someone photoshopped the photo of her pretending to cry in front of the media during her last fake engagement into an emoji with the caption 'I was crying, I was just pretending.' It's already been shared over 100,000 times!"

Yu Tian silently handed Wen Yang a napkin to prevent her from knocking over the sea cucumber with abalone sauce in front of her in excitement.

Wen Yang took it without even turning around, wiped the corner of her mouth casually, and then moved closer to Fang Li to look at the online comments together.

"It's a shame they didn't send Sheng Qianrui, the culprit, to jail! The statement the Sheng family issued, alleging 'mismanagement', pinned the entire incident on Zhang Dechang. It's hilarious. Everyone knows that Yaoxing Media is run by her! Besides, who the hell is Zhang Dechang? He has no grudge against you, so why would he harm you?"

Xu Fangli gently stirred the Longjing shrimp in front of her, her lips curled up slightly. "Even if Shengshi Group didn't do this, Sheng Qianrui wouldn't be convicted and imprisoned. After all, I wasn't injured. Besides, the money was given by Zhang Dechang. There's no direct evidence to prove that Sheng Qianrui bribed a large amount."

Her reaction was so calm that Wen Yang couldn't help but move closer: "So you're just going to let it go? Sheng Qianrui keeps picking on you, and this time she's clearly trying to destroy you, and you're not angry?!"

"What's there to be angry about?"

Xu Fangli put down her chopsticks, picked up the celadon teacup and took a sip. "Anyway, I'm not the one who suffers in the end. She's targeted me so many times, how could she have gotten away with it? Besides, I think Sheng Qianrui is having a harder time right now."
