Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 724
Chapter 724: Then, I’ll Bring You Supper Tonight!
“Then, we’re done with this matter for now as I’m going to meet an old friend.”
Sheng Bowen smiled at Sheng Xiao and Tang Yan.
The two of them glanced at him and did not know what he was up to. Of course, they were not interested to know either.
..
On the other side, Hu Ran and Gu Ziling met again at the cafe.
This time, Hu Ran was much calmer than the last time. She drank her coffee leisurely, and there was no trace of panic in her expression.
Gu Ziling observed her for a while. She felt like she did not know what this woman was thinking. “Looking at you, you don’t seem to be angry at Sheng Bowen anymore.”
“No matter how angry I am, I shouldn’t be angry at you,” Hu Ran replied.
“Sheng Bowen is heartless toward you. Even I, your former second sister-in-law, can’t stand it. You’re the daughter of the Hu family after all. He actually got his secretary to humiliate you. If I were you, I wouldn’t be sitting pretty.” Gu Ziling still insisted on sowing discord.
“Also, Hu Ran, you probably don’t know that your family has been in trouble recently, right?”
“What do you mean?” Hu Ran suddenly became nervous.
“I mean, your father is really protective of you, giving you only good news and no bad news. Your Hu family is now facing a huge funding gap. This is all because of the negative consequences after Sheng Bowen announced his divorce with you that day,” Gu Ziling said to Hu Ran casually.
After Hu Ran heard this, she stood up and asked, “Since you already knew, why are you only telling me this now?”
“I have no reason to tell you.” Gu Ziling shrugged. “It was Sheng Bowen who caused your family to be in this state.”
Hu Ran calmed down and sat back on the chair. “So? What do you want me to do?”
“I can help you get revenge, but I want to make sure that your heart belongs to us.
“Think about it. Sheng Bowen not only dumped you, but he also hurt the Hu family. How long can your father last?”
“You’re right.” Hu Ran nodded and looked at the coffee cup in her hand. “But I also have some questions to ask you.”
Seeing that Hu Ran could hardly control her thoughts, Gu Ziling sighed and lost some patience. “Ask away.”
“Who exactly gave you the courage to come to me to form an alliance? No… I should say, who gave you the courage to think that you can use me and control me? Hmm?” Hu Ran played with the cup in her hand and asked Gu Ziling in return.
“Sheng Bowen treated you so badly and caused problems for your family. You can still endure it?”
After hearing Gu Ziling’s words, Hu Ran finally laughed out loud. “Gu Ziling, aren’t you being too self-righteous? Why can’t you change this bad habit of yours?”
Gu Ziling’s expression turned ugly.
“I know that you and Sheng Kai hate the Sheng family and Sheng Bowen and Sheng Xiao, but why did you come to me when you can go to them directly for revenge?
“I know the reason. Because you’re unable to lay a finger on the Sheng family. Sheng Xiao is too smart. You couldn’t even touch a hair on his head, so you vented your anger on Sheng Bowen, didn’t you?”
Gu Ziling’s expression couldn’t be described as ugly anymore. It was as if she had been hit on the back of the head.
“It’s not just Sheng Xiao. Even Mu Qiqi is someone you can’t touch. No… it should be that you’ve always regarded Mu Qiqi as your opponent. However, she has never taken you seriously because in her eyes, you don’t qualify at all as a rival.”
“Winner takes all. It’s always been this way. You’ve already lost once. If you try to make a comeback, you’ll only lose again.”
“Hu Ran!” Gu Ziling was so embarrassed that she became angry. She scolded her in a low voice.
“I hit the nail on the head, didn’t I?” Hu Ran laughed. “How about this? In order to let you have a better experience of revenge, I called someone for you. I think that you two can sit down and talk face to face. I don’t need to be the middleman and make things difficult for you.”
After saying this, Hu Ran glanced outside the coffee shop. Sheng Bowen got the signal and brought Ren Yufei into the coffee shop. He then got in front of Hu Ran and Ren Yufei.
When Gu Ziling saw this, she immediately knew that she had been played by Hu Ran. “Why are you so useless? Your man was snatched away, and now you’re doing this.”
“Gu Ziling, I’ve put up with you for a long time. Don’t you think the way you sow discord is really annoying?”
“This is the first time I’ve seen someone being caught red-handed and still being so… shameless,” Sheng Bowen interjected. “Miss Gu, you don’t have to worry about me and the Hu family. You should save your strength and go mend your IQ.”
“Doing such immoral things all day long… No wonder you can’t have children in this lifetime.”
“You…”
Gu Ziling glared at the three of them, her gaze especially sharp toward Hu Ran. Then, she got up from the sofa in anger.
“You’d better remember how your Hu family ended up like this.”
Hu Ran ignored this woman, the woman who kept chattering in the ears of others every day.
On the other hand, Third Brother said to Gu Ziling right before she left, “Second sister-in-law, if you plan anything again next time, come to me directly. I’ll let you see what’s up.”
“You’ll see. Ah Kai won’t let you off.”
She was quite confident.
Sheng Bowen did not continue to respond. He waited for Gu Ziling to leave before asking Hu Ran, “Are you okay?”
Hu Ran shook her head and kept the Hu family’s matter a secret. If Gu Ziling was just spouting nonsense, wouldn’t she just be making a big fuss again?
“In the future, that woman probably won’t have the face to look for you again. After all, you’ve embarrassed her today.”
“I hope so,” Hu Ran answered absentmindedly. What she was afraid of was that the two of them would become even worse.
Even so, she still had to go home and figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
“Third Brother, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. Let’s talk about this another day.” With that, Hu Ran left the coffee shop and drove home quickly.
Sheng Bowen was very puzzled and turned to look at Ren Yufei.
Ren Yufei also felt that it was very strange.
“Why don’t you call and ask again?”
“If she was willing to tell us, she wouldn’t have left without saying a word like that.” Sheng Bowen was afraid that Gu Ziling would use other underhanded methods to coerce Hu Ran into obeying her.
So, on the way back, he said to Ren Yufei, “Try your best to understand the situation of the Hu family.”
“Okay.” Ren Yufei nodded.
Seeing how quickly she agreed, Sheng Bowen was a little puzzled. “You… aren’t jealous?”
“This is business. Why should I be jealous?” Ren Yufei answered very calmly.
“It’s good that you’re not jealous. Then, I’ll bring you supper tonight!”
Ren Yufei was speechless.
