At this moment, Ma Biao's expression was very cold, which, combined with his honest and kind face, made people feel terrified.
Wen Shu froze, not daring to move.
Ma Biao's fingertips brushed against her face, like the tongue of a venomous snake.
"You are still his woman. If he finds out you turned around and found another man, Li Duo will be furious. You satisfied yourself and got revenge on him, isn't that enough?!"
Wen Shu pursed her lips and calmly looked at Ma Biao. "Master Ma, isn't it actually you who wants to get revenge on Li Duo?"
Ma Biao paused, looked up, and said, "I did it for you..."
"Master Ma, you're trying to get revenge on Li Duo this way, to make him feel like he's been cuckolded, right?"
Ma Biao raised his chin, a wicked smile on his face. "I don't like women who are too smart."
He reached out and lifted her chin. "It's better for women to be a little stupid."
"I didn't know at first either, but I only found out what Master Ma was thinking by hearing it from others."
Ma Biao's thick eyebrows lowered his gaze. "Who?"
Wen Shu looked up, her wet eyes carefully observing him. "Miss Ma reminded me fifteen minutes ago."
Ma Biao released his grip on her chin. "My sister reminded you?"
Wen Shu took a step back without showing any emotion. "Yes, Miss Ma is kind-hearted and willing to give me pointers."
Ma Biao stared at her. "My sister isn't one to meddle in other people's business."
“Miss Ma and Mr. Ma are very close siblings. Apart from your matter, Miss Ma really doesn’t like to meddle in other people’s business, so I was quite surprised.”
Wen Shu tried her best to remain calm. "Perhaps it's because I'm willing to cooperate with Miss Ma to indirectly avenge Master Ma."
Ma Biao squinted. "You?"
Wen Shu nodded: "I thought Mr. Ma knew about this, but it turns out Miss Ma didn't mention it. I was just being nosy."
Ma Biao was skeptical. "She only told me that working with one woman was so easy that Li Duo ended up alone. It was you?"
After a moment's thought, he said, "It seems that Li Duo treats you differently."
"No one knows better than me how he treats me." Wen Shu firmly denied this. "Miss Ma is a woman, and obviously she is more meticulous than Mr. Ma in this regard."
"What do you mean?"
“I was merely chosen by Li Duo as a target to divert attention.”
Wen Shu explained, "In other words, if you want to use me to get back at Li Duo, it won't work. Instead, it will make Li Duo think that you are deliberately provoking him."
"Miss Ma used her engagement ceremony to ensure her safe escape after her revenge, but you are going to betray Miss Ma's good intentions and offend Li Duo again, challenging his authority."
Wen Shu looked at Ma Biao's face and said, "Master Ma, what you're doing is really a losing proposition!"
Ma Biao stared at her face, then suddenly turned to look at the engagement ceremony taking place in the hall. "What you're saying doesn't convince me at all."
Wen Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ma Biao then said, "However, one thing at a time. Even if it has nothing to do with Li Duo, does that mean I can't sleep with you?"
Wen Shu froze on the spot once again.
She took a deep breath and then suddenly laughed: "Mr. Ma, you wouldn't do that."
Ma Biao scoffed, "How do you know I can't?"
Wen Shu said, "Actually, as a woman who has given birth, it doesn't matter to me."
"However, Master Ma has countless beauties around him, so this short-term relationship is dispensable to you. For someone of your status to be close to me without marrying me will cause me double the trouble in the future."
"When we first met tonight, you reminded me of Li Duo's purpose."
"Although you and Miss Ma have different personalities, you are indeed siblings and both have a chivalrous spirit. You look down on Li Duo for bullying women, so naturally you also look down on people who act in the same way as Li Duo!"
This time, it was Ma Biao's turn to freeze in place.
Men, they just can't seem to let go of that high-and-mighty attitude.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on Wen Shu's face. After a long while, he let out a soft snort from his nostrils, "Your observation skills are quite keen."
Wen Shu didn't dare to relax and quickly changed the subject, "Miss Ma's fiancé seems to be a mature and steady person, and he is a very harmonious match for Miss Ma."
Ma Biao said with a hint of pride, "You mean Long Xiaosheng? That's right, the most dazzling political star in Beicheng right now, the kind of person Li Duo had to personally attend his engagement banquet even though he broke his leg."
Wen Shu learned that the reason Ma Jun dared to take revenge on Li Duo after so long was because of Long Xiaosheng.
If she and Long Xiaosheng were not engaged, it would mean that Ma Jun might not dare to make a move against Li Duo right now.
Wen Shu pursed her lips, her feelings were somewhat complicated, and she didn't know how to describe them for a moment.
Faced with absolute power and strength, everyone has to swallow their pride and wait until the power is equal before daring to retaliate.
As Wen Shu looked towards the engagement hall, she suddenly heard the driver's voice from behind, "Miss Wen."
Wen Shu turned to look at him, "Oh, it's the driver. Are you looking for President Li?"
The driver shook his head: "I just came over to ask if Miss Wen needs any help?"
Wen Shu was taken aback, and then realized that the driver was worried that she would be trapped here by the horse and unable to leave.
Wen Shu didn't look at Ma Biao, but shook her head: "President Li doesn't know when he'll leave yet. He'll ask you for help when he needs it."
She twisted the driver's original words to describe pushing Li Duo's wheelchair, thus concealing the driver's suspicion of Ma Biao.
The driver nodded. "Okay."
After the driver left, Ma Biao looked away. "He's the boss's bodyguard, right?"
Wen Shu said, "He seems to be a driver, someone who drives for Li Duo."
Ma Biao chuckled lightly, "Do you know what that driver's last name is?"
Wen Shu naturally didn't know. She had only heard Li Duo call the driver "Liang Feng," and she always referred to him as "Brother Driver." She had never spoken to him, but she knew that he was very loyal to Li Duo.
Ma Biao said, "His surname is Li, and he is Li Duo's elder brother."
"Wasn't it said that Li Duo was the only male heir in the Li family this generation? He has an older brother?"
Ma Biao replied, "He is an adopted son of the Li family, a martial arts prodigy chosen from among thousands, specially trained to protect Li Duo."
“Besides Li Liangfeng, there are three other similar characters. Two of them haven’t finished their apprenticeship yet, and the third one is someone who takes turns with Li Liangfeng. He only takes over when Li Liangfeng is busy.”
Wen Shu thought it was a bit exaggerated; it turned out that this was the standard practice for bodyguards in wealthy families.
Wen Shu chuckled softly, "This is the first time I've heard of this."
Ma Biao glanced at her and said, "Now I'm starting to believe that Li Duo really didn't take you seriously. You don't even know the last name of his bodyguard."
Wen Shu pursed her lips. "I didn't even know that was his bodyguard. I thought it was his hired driver."
Ma Biao lost interest in talking, patted his clothes with the back of his hand, and walked away.
As soon as he left, Wen Shu's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
The engagement banquet was lively, and the guests were very supportive. Wen Shu looked out the window at the bustling scene inside; there were too many important guests.
As she was lost in thought, another uninvited guest approached. "Wen Shu? Is that you?"
