"Daughter, what’s wrong?" A dignified and elegant woman approached Li Qiuchan. It was Wang Lan, Li Qiuchan’s biological mother.
Originally, she had been just an ordinary worker in Hangcheng City, not rich by any ans and barely managing a middle-class life. However, after Li Qiuchan’s outstanding beauty caught the eye of the wealthy Han Family, the Li family’s life underwent a drastic change.
As the old saying goes, when one person ascends, their whole family rises with them. Such was the fate of Li Qiuchan and the Li family.
Ironically, Wang Lan and Shen Fanyun’s mother had once been good friends. Whenever they had ti, they would chat about their families, vacation together, and dine out. During that innocent, selfless stage, the two families got along very well. In the end, an unexpected event threw Shen Fanyun’s family into an abyss. Since then, they had completely cut off contact with Wang Lan’s family, as if they had never known each other.
"I saw an acquaintance," Li Qiuchan murmured. Should I tell Mom the truth? After all, I still haven’t decided how to handle Shen Fanyun.
"An acquaintance?" Wang Lan furrowed her brow.
Li Qiuchan hesitated. "It was Shen Fanyun."
"Shen, Shen who?" Wang Lan was astonished, quickly looking around, but Shen Fanyun was nowhere to be seen. "Are you sure you saw him correctly? You must have been mistaken."
"That guy has been gone for so many years. Besides, he wouldn’t dare return to Hangcheng City, would he? Does he really think Han Feng’s warning was just empty words?" Wang Lan shook her head in disbelief.
Li Qiuchan said, "I t him not long ago."
Wang Lan was stunned.
Her face changed dramatically, partly because she hadn’t expected Shen Fanyun to truly appear, and partly because she was very displeased with Li Qiuchan’s actions. "Why would you et with soone like him? Aren’t you afraid of lowering your own status?"
"You are now the Han Family’s future daughter-in-law. Your words and actions reflect on the Han Family’s reputation and honor, Qiuchan. Don’t jeopardize yourself."
Evidently, Wang Lan was also worried that Shen Fanyun’s return could cause unnecessary trouble for Li Qiuchan and the entire Li family.
Li Qiuchan responded helplessly, "You’re overthinking it. Do you really think I would... over soone like him?"
I am the much-admired Crown Princess Consort, the future daughter-in-law of a Hangcheng City magnate. What is Shen Fanyun but a small fry? Unless I’ve lost my mind and sothing inappropriate happens with him again, any normal person would know what to do!
"That’s good," Wang Lan patted her chest, relieved.
Then, Li Qiuchan shared her suspicions.
"Is that boy planning to disrupt your wedding?" Wang Lan was shocked again, but as she listened to Li Qiuchan’s analysis, it sounded plausible. To show up now of all tis... his timing is definitely suspect.
"Is Shen Fanyun resentful because your life keeps getting better and you’re happier than ever, so now he wants to ruin your wedding?" Wang Lan muttered.
Li Qiuchan shook her head. "I don’t think so."
"Instead, I think he’s still obsessed with . He plans to use that grand occasion to try and take away, fueled by nothing but blind passion."
"Huh?" Wang Lan was montarily stunned, then could barely hold back a laugh. "Haha, crash the wedding?"
If I rember correctly, the guy is in his early thirties. How can he act like such a reckless youth? Does he think real life is so TV drama, or that marriage is a ga of house? Is he just playing around? A frog in a well, completely overestimating his own abilities! That was Wang Lan’s assessnt of Shen Fanyun.
Li Qiuchan said, "Mom, we need to find a way to shatter his delusion."
"I don’t want his presence to affect my relationship with Han Feng!"
Li Qiuchan was getting incredibly annoyed. Just as Xu Bingqing said, Shen Fanyun is completely insane, secretly tracking my every move. Otherwise, how could he have just appeared at the Yunxiao Hotel out of the blue? He showed up like a lingering ghost the mont I got out of the car, then pretended to vanish... Hah. He’s probably hiding in so corner right now, spying on !
"That bastard is such a nuisance." Wang Lan’s expression soured. Today was the Li family’s banquet. Because Li Qiuchan’s wedding was fast approaching, relatives who lived out of town had all returned early. Therefore, Li Qiuchan had taken the initiative to treat the family elders to a casual al.
It had been impossible to get a reservation at the Yunxiao Hotel until spots suddenly opened up, so Li Qiuchan had imdiately booked several large private rooms, ready to entertain her relatives who had traveled from afar. Unexpectedly, Shen Fanyun had appeared!
Is there a security breach at the Yunxiao Hotel? How could soone like Shen Fanyun sneak in and brazenly appear before us?
"Maybe we should let Yunxiao handle it?" Wang Lan suggested.
Li Qiuchan nodded. It was a good suggestion. Since there’s a security breach, Yunxiao has an undeniable responsibility. They are duty-bound to find Shen Fanyun and throw him out!
"Let’s get it resolved quickly, before that guy pops up later and ruins our family banquet," Li Qiuchan said, silently adding, Shen Fanyun, it’s not that I’m heartless or intentionally trying to disrespect you, but this occasion is simply too important. You have to leave!
"Qiuchan, what are you and your mother whispering about over there? It isn’t right to leave us all hanging, you know."
"Let’s hurry into the private room! I’ve heard so much about the Yunxiao Hotel, but this is my first ti here. I really want to take in the atmosphere."
"In an environnt like this, a single al must cost at least a hundred thousand, right? So lavish!"
"Hahaha, have you forgotten that our Qiuchan is the future daughter-in-law of a Hangcheng City magnate? A hundred thousand is just a drop in the bucket for her, so don’t you worry about the bill."
The group of family elders walked into the private room, chatting and laughing. Li Qiuchan and Wang Lan hurried over to play host.
Of course, Wang Lan didn’t forget her task. She imdiately called for the hotel manager and expressed her dissatisfaction with security, complaining that all sorts of riffraff could apparently just sneak in.
anwhile, Shen Fanyun had reached the private club on the second floor. He casually opened a bottle of Romankangdi and was thoroughly enjoying himself, completely uninterested in dealing with Li Qiuchan and her family.
A short while later, the manager pushed the door open and whispered a few words in Shen Fanyun’s ear.
Shen Fanyun thought he must have misheard. "What? You want to scram?"
"The guest and her mother reviewed the security footage with . They specifically identified you as an intruder and have demanded that Yunxiao escort you out imdiately!"
Shen Fanyun couldn’t help but laugh. What a family of narcissists. We just happened to cross paths, and she thinks I snuck in here just for her?
"How about we turn the tables and have them thrown out?" the manager suggested, a mischievous glint in his eye. He was genuinely amused. If Shen Fanyun so wished, he could acquire the ownership rights to Yunxiao in minutes and beco the sole proprietor of the entire place.
