Chapter 66
Inside the glass greenhouse, Song Zitong was stunned by the amount of information Lin Ran revealed.
"I'm sorry, Lin Ran, let me sort this out first." Song Zitong scratched her head frantically, thinking that she might have grown some brains. "You and Shen Jinghan are having an affair? Not Shen Zhuoyu?"
Lin Ran blinked her big, sparkling eyes and nodded.
“Now you don’t want to be with him anymore, and you want me to help you leave Shen Jinghan?”
Lin Ran continued to nod. Seeing that her reaction was different from what he expected, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "Aren't you angry?"
She likes Shen Jinghan. Anyone would be angry and tear the mistress apart if she found out that her future husband was having a lover outside, right?
She had already prepared herself mentally for being beaten by Song Zitong.
Song Zitong felt like the sky was falling.
What was she angry about? She was panicking, especially panicking. Because the marriage between her and Shen Jinghan was a marriage of convenience from the beginning to the end.
The Song family has been in deficit for many years, and only the past glory remains. The two families are getting married. Shen Jinghan is attracted by the Song family's influence and connections in the political arena, while the Song family is attracted by his wealth and voice that can rival a country.
The agreement for this marriage is thicker than a dictionary.
The agreement was so detailed that even their separation after marriage was clearly written. If there was any emotional entanglement or she had ulterior motives and gave birth to Shen Jinghan's child, the agreement would be terminated immediately, and the Song family would have to pay a sky-high penalty for breach of contract.
If Song Zitong had some hope for this marriage at the beginning, this cold agreement completely shattered her fantasy.
To put it bluntly, she was just a tool for a marriage. Shen Jinghan only needed her grandfather's connections in the political arena and nothing else.
This man was cold-blooded and meticulous, so when Song Zitong found out that he had a lover outside, and that was Lin Ran, she was shocked beyond words.
Why was she angry? She was afraid that if she knew such a big secret, Shen Jinghan would kill her.
"Lin Ran, you may have misunderstood." Song Zitong said carefully, "The Shen and Song families are a business marriage. Shen Jinghan and I each get what we need, so I have no right to interfere in his private life, including his having a mistress."
Lin Ran's expression changed instantly, and her eyes narrowed slightly: "You have no say in Shen Jinghan? The same goes for the Song family?"
Song Zitong nodded with difficulty. Although she didn't want to admit it, it was true.
Lin Ran was greatly disappointed, and her expression turned colder: "Then you shouldn't know about this."
Song Zitong quickly made a gesture to seal her mouth and said, "Don't worry, I didn't hear anything today. But why do you want to leave Shen Jinghan?"
Shen Jinghan is worth trillions, tall and handsome, with superb taste and strong skills. There are few men as powerful and charming as him in Hong Kong.
Song Zitong remembered that the first thing Shen Jinghan said when he found her was: "I'm not interested in you, I'm interested in the Song family's influence in politics. Are you interested in a Shen-Song marriage?"
Later, his secretary took out a marriage agreement that was so thick it could kill someone. Every clause in it told her mercilessly not to have any improper thoughts. So when she learned that such a ruthless man like Shen Jinghan actually had a lover, she was shocked.
So, why did Lin Ran want to leave Shen Jinghan?
Song Zitong just thought she was courageous.
Lin Ran lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Just pretend I never came to see you today. I hope you can keep the Shen family's affairs secret."
Song Zitong nodded desperately. Who would dare to tell anyone about this? Are you trying to kill yourself?
Lin Ran turned and walked out of the glass greenhouse.
Song Zitong looked at her slender back in the wind, feeling complicated. It turned out that someone as cold as Chen Jinghan also liked someone like Lin Ran, but no matter how much he liked her, he would not marry her, and he even expelled her.
For a moment, she didn't know who was more pitiful, herself or Lin Ran.
"Sister Tong, is that your friend? I saw her from a distance, she's so beautiful, please introduce her to me."
Song Zitong sneered: "No chance."
That is the woman of Shen Jinghan, the richest man in Hong Kong.

Lin Ran left the top floor and walked out of the Xingyue Club. She stood in the silent wind, staring blankly.
Shen Zhuoyu didn't know where he went.
The phone kept vibrating.
She took a taxi and went straight back to Shenyuan.
The lights in Chen Garden were bright, but none of them belonged to her.
Lin Ran's fingertips brushed across the rhododendrons along the way, and she walked into the side hall in a daze.
"Are you back?"
In the side hall, Shen Jinghan, wearing home clothes and thin-framed glasses, was drinking coffee and reading the evening paper. He said coldly, "You reek of alcohol. Have you been out fooling around?"
Lin Ran froze while changing her slippers.
"Is the Xingyue Club fun?" Chen Jinghan pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said indifferently, "There are indeed quite a few young men there. If you hook up with any of them, you won't have to worry about the rest of your life.
I heard that your mother met Shen Zhongqi in a high-end club."
A string in Lin Ran's mind suddenly broke, and the emotions that had been suppressed, restrained, and forbearing for a long time surged up. She walked barefoot to Shen Jinghan and took the newspaper from his hand.
Shen Jinghan narrowed his phoenix eyes dangerously and looked at her without blinking.
Lin Ran crumpled up the newspaper and threw it directly into the trash can. She lowered her eyes to look at his handsome, cold, and superior face, and said provocatively, "It's fun. It's so fun that I don't even have time to reply to Big Brother's WeChat."
She came closer, and her body was stained with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol from outside, mixed with her unique fragrance. Shen Jinghan's eyes were deep, and he could see a touch of snow on her chest when she bent over.
He stood up suddenly, grabbed her wrist fiercely, and took her straight upstairs.
Lin Ran was pressed against the cold wall by him, and he lowered his head for a deep kiss.
The man's breath enveloped her like an overwhelming force, carrying a hint of anger and punishment, and his kiss made her lips hurt.
"Going out to eat with Shen Zhuoyu?"
Chen Jinghan lifted her sweaty hair with a dangerous look in his eyes, grabbed her chin, and said word by word: "Go to the club to meet his friends?
Go see Song Zitong?"
Lin Ran felt cold all over: "You sent someone to follow me?"
Shen Jinghan sneered: "Do you know how many people in Hong Kong want to get involved with me? Everyone knows that Shen Zhuoyu and I don't get along. Whatever you eat or do, someone will naturally report it to me in detail.
Lin Ran, why did you go to see Song Zitong? "
Shen Jinghan pinched her pretty little face and said word by word, "Think it over before answering."
Lin Ran was pressed against him in the small and cramped space and shuddered inexplicably.
Song Zitong betrayed her? That shouldn't be the case. Song Zitong didn't dare to get angry even though she knew he had a mistress. She was obviously afraid of Shen Jinghan's power.
That means he is deceiving her.
She raised her chin, her almond eyes moist, and said hoarsely, "I'll go ask her if you are going to get married."
"Brother, now that you're married, will you kick me out again? Like you did seven years ago?"
