"Call me anytime, I'm outside the door."

Xu Lizhi lowered his eyes and glanced at Sheng Feng as if warning him, then stood up. Sheng Feng's secretary general also understood Sheng Feng's expression and followed him out.

Sheng Yuan and Sheng Feng were the only ones left in the elegantly decorated ward.

"Xiao Yuan, you have never been a playboy from the beginning, right?"

Sheng Feng sat down in the seat where Xu Lizhi had just sat. He asked a question in the tone of a statement.

This sentence completely broke the last layer of window paper.

However, at this point, there was no need for either side to continue the drama.

Sheng Yuan did not deny it.

Sheng Feng's face did not show any anger after being concealed. Instead, he had a little smile on his face, as if an elder was praising the kindness of a younger generation during their growth: "Xiao Yuan, you are really good at pretending. I waited until the eve of your 18th birthday."

Tomorrow is Sheng Yuan’s eighteenth birthday.

As soon as this kidnapping case broke out, the outside world was filled with indignation, all siding with Sheng Yuan and feeling sorry for her. Even Sheng's stocks were greatly affected, and everyone was calling for Sheng Feng to step down.

Sheng Yuan won the hearts of everyone.

"Xiao Yuan, I think it's good this way. At least we can be honest with each other."

"In fact, we can live in peace. What do you think? Second Uncle will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future. Girls should go out more often and live a relaxed life."

"Xiao Yi did behave like a jerk. If you insist on suing her, Second Uncle won't stop you. I'll just let you vent your anger."

Sheng Yuan: "What does living an easy life mean specifically—?"

Sheng Feng bluntly said, "I will give up the succession of Sheng Group."

Sheng Yuan: "What if I refuse?"

"Xiao Yuan, you are young and don't understand many things. Second Uncle just wants to take back something that originally belonged to me but was late."

Sheng Feng sighed slightly, as if he felt sorry for Sheng Yuan's willfulness, but a sinister gleam flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"Since you insist on deciding to walk down a difficult road by yourself, there is nothing much for Second Uncle to say."

Sheng Feng left.

When Xu Lizhi returned to the ward, he saw Sheng Yuan looking thoughtful. He thought she was thinking about Sheng Feng.

But the girl suddenly asked, "How is he?"

"Who?" Xu Lizhi's thoughts did not come to his senses for a moment, but he realized who Sheng Yuan was talking about. He was silent for two seconds: "You deliberately stabbed him two centimeters away from where he was stabbed. It was a flesh wound. He is in this hospital and is fine now."

Sheng Yuan drooped her eyelashes and said nothing.

Inexplicable.

Xu Lizhi saw that the girl was lost.

Even when Sheng Feng came to her just now, she had never shown such fragile emotions.

even.

Without Sheng Feng, Xu Lizhi rarely saw Sheng Yuan like this.

"Don't blame yourself too much, this is just part of the plan."

In order to find Sheng Yuan's weakness, Sheng Yi and his team investigated almost everyone around Sheng Yuan, and Sheng Yuan's life has always been under surveillance.

On the rainy night when Sheng Qi passed away, Sheng Yi received a photo of Sheng Yuan who was unconscious with a high fever from Shi Yan.

On the day Xiaoman was poisoned, Sheng Yi received a photo of Shi Yan and Sheng Yuan going to the hospital together to treat their wounds.

after.

Shi Yan became the person of special observation in their list.

So not long after, Shi Yan distributed flyers for a flower shop, and the next day Sheng Yuan placed an order with that flower shop at a villa in Chaohe District. Yu Meng, who was somewhat similar to Shi Yan, successfully approached Sheng Yuan. Sheng Yuan also participated in the exchange student program and had a "transaction" with Shi Yan.

That's it.

Sheng Yi confirmed that Sheng Yuan did treat Shi Yan differently and cared about Shi Yan a lot.

So there was the scene where Sheng Yi and Xu Lizhi "ran into" Sheng Yuan and Shi Yan together. Sheng Yi wanted Xu Lizhi to be angry and disappointed in Sheng Yuan, and Sheng Yuan "lived up to" Sheng Yi's expectations. She really had a quarrel with her family because of Shi Yan and canceled her engagement with Xu Lizhi.

Shi Yan - is the "weakness" that Sheng Yuan created for herself.

"It's understandable that we've come to this point." Xu Lizhi explained that Sheng Yuan's actions were only to make Sheng Yi believe that Sheng Yuan was really insane after taking those drugs, so he dared to do it. He said in a comforting tone: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter, and I will definitely give him enough compensation."

Sheng Yuan just frowned and wanted to refuse——

"Student, who are you looking for?"

The nurse's puzzled voice came from the door.

"...No." The low-pitched male voice paused and said, "Excuse me."

Sheng Yuan raised her head almost instantly.

She was stunned for a moment, and the next second, she threw off the quilt and got out of bed without thinking.

When Sheng Yuan chased out, she could only see a silhouette.

Although it was only a moment, it was enough for Sheng Yuan to see clearly.

——The young man's figure was as tough and elegant as a pine tree. Perhaps because of the wound, his broad back was slightly bent, making him look a little thin. His bony hands covered his abdomen.

His profile was still cold and his thin lips were a little pale, but his steps of leaving were clear.

His figure disappeared into the closing elevator door.

In fact, there was another elevator coming down nearby. You could just walk over and press the button to catch up with it.

But Sheng Yuan stopped.

The ward building where VIP-level patients are located has a good environment and is a quiet place that is very suitable for recuperation.

So it is easy to know if someone is coming behind you.

Sheng Yuan looked in the direction of the elevator: "You did it on purpose."

"...Yes." Xu Lizhi admitted frankly: "I was the one who told him the news that you were kidnapped in this ward."

"He will know it sooner or later anyway." The boy with silver-gray eyes looked a little uneasy at the moment. He stared at Sheng Yuan's profile and said, "What's wrong with knowing it earlier?"

Sheng Yuan turned around, expressionless: "What do you want to test me for?"

Xu Lizhi pursed his lips and asked in a low voice: "Sheng Yuan, don't you think your reaction is too concerned?"

"Xu Lizhi." The girl's beautiful almond-shaped eyes were sharp. She called his name calmly and reminded him distantly, "The relationship between us is not one in which you can interfere in my affairs."

Xu Lizhi remained silent.

Because what Sheng Yuan said was indeed correct.

Two years ago——

The day before Sheng Qi arranged the marriage between his sister Sheng Yuan and Xu Lizhi, the young master of the Xu family, Sheng Yuan personally found Mr. Xu.

"Fake engagement?"

At the desk, the old man, whose every move revealed an aura of authority, looked at the girl across the table.

Sheng Yuan nodded: "When the time comes, the Xu family will show their dislike for me and cancel the engagement."

Mr. Xu's attitude was gentle, but his words were ambiguous: "Yuan girl, there is no need for our Xu family to cooperate with you in this play."

Xu Lizhi, who had been eavesdropping outside the door for a long time, rushed in and expressed his willingness to cooperate with Sheng Yuan.

Old Master Xu glanced at his grandson in a threatening manner, ignored him, and continued to look at Sheng Yuan.

Sheng Yuan: "I know the Xu family has always wanted to develop a hotel in H City. If you agree, Sheng will provide relevant technical and resource support."

Old Master Xu stared at Sheng Yuan for a while, wondering how this girl could have figured out that the Xu family had never made public their attempt to develop a hotel. After a moment, he smiled and said, "I'm really jealous of that bastard Sheng Zhuo for having a granddaughter like you."

Sheng Zhuo is Sheng Yuan's grandfather.

"Okay, I promise you." But Mr. Xu still asked Sheng Yuan: "Actually, Yuan girl, you don't have to do this."

Sheng Yuan lowered her eyelashes: "I 'need' this marriage contract, my brother will feel at ease."

The engagement between Sheng Yuan and Xu Li was purely an exchange of interests.
