"You, you, you!" Xiao Linran was so angry that he could hardly speak, not expecting Zhang Yanhua to dare to talk back.
"You shameless woman!" Xiao Linran was furious and raised his hand to slap Zhang Yanhua's face.
Zhang Yanhua, however, was not afraid at all. She raised her head and said, "Go ahead and hit me! If you have the guts, then do it!"
Xiao Linran was about to make a move when he suddenly remembered that the old man was still there. If the old man saw him, he would probably get a scolding, so he reluctantly withdrew his hand.
"So that's your reason for going after that pretty boy? Ha! Zhang Yanhua, you're really desperate! You won't even let a guard go." Since he couldn't fight, he continued to be sarcastic.
Zhang Yanhua is no longer afraid at all. She has realized that Xiao Linran is nothing but a paper tiger.
"Ha! Yunmo is much better than you. At least he's a real man, unlike you, who only lasted three minutes." Zhang Yanhua sneered.
"What did you say? Who did you call three minutes?!" Xiao Linran was absolutely furious.
"I'm talking about you!" Zhang Yanhua has now completely broken ties with Xiao Linran.
"So that's your reason for going to him, tsk tsk tsk! What a shameless woman!"
Zhang Yanhua retorted, "Have any shame? Do you even have any shame? How many of the women you've been with are any good? So what if you hired bodyguards? Any random man on the street is better than you."
Just as the two were staring at each other, neither willing to give in, there was a knock on the door.
"What is it?" Xiao Linran shouted impatiently.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Madam, the Old Master wants you to come over for dinner now." A trembling voice came from outside the door.
"Alright, I understand!" Xiao Linran gave Zhang Yanhua a cold glance, thinking that the bitch was lucky.
"Let's go! But I'm warning you, you'd better not say anything you shouldn't, or don't blame me for being impolite!" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xiao Linran's eyes.
Only then did Zhang Yanhua realize that her personal safety was still in the hands of the Xiao family, and her previous toughness vanished.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Yanhua and Xiao Linran arrived at the restaurant side by side, looking quite intimate.
Zhang Yanhua carefully protected her lower abdomen with her hands, while Xiao Linran busied himself around her, looking extremely considerate.
Xiao Zhengyan nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this scene.
"Yanhua, come here quickly and sit next to me!" Xiao Zhengyan said with a loving expression.
"Yanhua, now that you're pregnant, you need to be extra careful. You don't have enough people around you right now. I'll have them arrange a few more guards for you."
"Oh, no, no, no need!" Upon hearing the word "guards," Zhang Yanhua jumped up as if she had been electrocuted.
“How can we not use them? The guards are very important to Yan Hua, especially during her pregnancy,” Xiao Linran said deliberately, implying something.
"Linran, what are you talking about?" Zhang Yanhua quickly scolded.
She appeared cheerful and smiling on the surface, but inwardly she was seething with hatred. Xiao Linran was doing it on purpose.
"Alright! Let's eat!" Xiao Zhengyan, of course, didn't catch Xiao Linran's hint.
This meal ended with Xiao Linran and Zhang Yanhua harboring ulterior motives.
Although Xiao Linran hated Zhang Yanhua for betraying him, he ultimately decided to remain silent in order to smoothly take control of the Xiao family.
After finishing their meal, Xiao Zhengyan left happily, leaving Zhang Yanhua and Xiao Linran looking at each other with mutual dislike.
The two looked at each other, Xiao Linran staring fiercely at Zhang Yanhua's lower abdomen, while Zhang Yanhua pretended to be calm and continued to drink her tea.
"Hmph!" In the end, Xiao Linran snorted coldly and was the first to turn and leave.
In an inconspicuous alley in the northernmost part of country H, a young man dressed in black slipped into a small hotel.
He walked to the innermost room, carefully locked the door, and after making sure no one was around, he took out his satellite phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
"Hey! Young Master, the plan is proceeding as scheduled, very smoothly. Zhang Yanhua's pregnancy has been exposed." The man in black said while making a phone call, observing the activity downstairs from the window.
The man in black removed the mask covering his face, revealing a handsome face. It was Shen Yunmo, whom Zhang Yanhua was secretly searching for at the Fourth Middle School.
"Very good! Xiao Linran should already know that Zhang Yanhua has cheated on him!" Xiao Jingchen sneered.
That's right, Shen Yunmo is his man, and he arranged all of this to take revenge on Xiao Linran for everything he had done to him before.
Xiao Linran is known for his pride, isn't he? Then he'll just strip Xiao Linran bare of all his dignity.
He will not let anyone who hurts him and Ye Ning get away with it.
"How did Xiao Linran react after he found out about this?" Xiao Jingchen really wanted to see Xiao Linran's embarrassed face with his own eyes.
"He was furious at first, then I don't know what kind of agreement he reached with Zhang Yanhua, and in the end it seems he didn't expose Zhang Yanhua." Shen Yunmo's tone was calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Xiao Linran is quite tolerant, probably to curry favor with Xiao Zhengyan," Xiao Jingchen snorted.
In Xiao Linran's heart, nothing is more important than the power in his hands. Let alone a small green hat, he can even do the same to his own brother. What else is he incapable of?
But is it really possible to get what you want just by enduring? Xiao Linran is thinking too simply.
"By the way! How's things going on your end? Has the Xiao family found out yet?" Xiao Jingchen suddenly remembered something.
"I've reached the northernmost part of H country. This area isn't within the Xiao family's sphere of influence, so it shouldn't be too serious." Shen Yunmo had been hiding these past few days, afraid that the Xiao family would find out his whereabouts. If he were discovered, it would be really troublesome.
"That's good! Now that the weather is cold, please be careful and pay attention to your safety. I will arrange for people from H country and others to meet you and help you leave here as soon as possible."
"By the way! Have the other forces in H country made any moves?"
"They're all a bunch of old foxes scheming against each other, but recently there's been one named Li Churan who's been rising through the ranks very quickly. It seems he's become Dean Wang's son-in-law." Li Churan's situation is no secret in the H country's elite circles.
What? Li Churan, what a coincidence!
However, Xiao Jingchen didn't take Li Churan too seriously, since his relationship with Ye Ning was already in the past.
"Alright! I understand. Be careful over there, and continue investigating Xiao Linran's matter," Xiao Jingchen continued.
"Okay!" Shen Yunmo hung up the phone, took a deep breath, then turned and left the small hotel, disappearing into the night.
