Gao Shan and Zheng Yan ate together, but the two of them had their own ulterior motives.
After dinner, Zheng Yan only wanted to leave as soon as possible, so she hurriedly put on her hat, sunglasses, and mask. However, Gao Shan wasn’t in a hurry at all and was pulled out of the restaurant by the anxious Zheng Yan.
This scene happened to be seen by Li Ran, who was sitting by the window in the cafeteria.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLi Ran’s seat was originally beside Gao Shan’s, but Li Ran didn’t want to see Gao Shan, so she changed to the table behind her. As for Gao Shan, he was too focused on cutting the steak and fantasizing to see Li Ran.
Li Ran could not hear Gao Shan and Zheng Yan’s conversation clearly, but she could vaguely hear Shi Lu’s name.
Everyone knew that Shi Lu and Zheng Yan had been on the trending searches for the entire day, but Zheng Yan actually dared to eat at such a famous restaurant. Li Ran guessed that this matter might be their scheme.
After Li Rail’s divorce, she spent a week carefully recalling all the details of the past. Then, she finally gave up on this man. When she thought of exhaustion and disgust, she realized that she had been blinded by love in the past and had neglected this man’s shortcomings.
After understanding this, Li Ran completely moved on from Gao Shan.
Today, when she saw Gao Shan’s smug look and his disdain for the woman in front of him, Li Ran’s disgust for this man reached the max.
Li Ran definitely would not let someone she hated so much off so easily. Although she didn’t have much of a relationship with the Shi family, because Yuan Shu had a good relationship with her uncle, Li Ran had a good impression of Yuan Shu.
Since Gao Shan wanted to harm Shi Lu and the Shi family, Li Ran would not let him have his way.
Li Ran called her bodyguard and asked him to follow Gao Shan and that if he heard any useful information, he should report it immediately.
After arranging everything, Li Ran went shopping with Zhou Xin’s sister, Zhou Yao.
Zhou Xin ran an entertainment media company, so she naturally paid more attention to entertainment matters. Zhou Yao also worked in their company, so the entertainment industry’s matters weren’t a secret to her.
Zhou Yao held Li Ran’s arm as the two of them entered a jewelry shop. When the shop assistant gave them a ring embedded with gems, Zhou Yao said aloofly, “Xiao Ran, didn’t you like Lin Feng quite a lot previously? I heard from my brother that he competed for the second male lead role in Wang Shen’s new movie last night but was rejected.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLi Ran picked up a ten-carat diamond ring to try it on as she said aloofly, “Before I found out that he had a child, I did like him a lot, but I don’t pursue celebrities with wives. After the news of him having a child is exposed, the quality of his resources will definitely degrade. However, 1 didn’t expect that he wasn’t even able to get a second male lead role.”
Zhou Yao also took a fancy to a ruby ring and asked the shop assistant to give it to her. After she put it on her index finger and faced the light, it reflected a bright red color. “Wang Shen just won the Golden Magnolia Award for Best Director, so it’s normal for him to be picky. But do you know who the female lead he fancies is?!”
If this female lead was an ordinary person, Zhou Yao definitely wouldn’t have specifically mentioned it, so it seemed like she was someone Li Ran knew.
However, Li Ran knew very few female celebrities in the entertainment industry, so it was very difficult for her to guess. She simply asked, “Who is it? Tell me directly.”
Zhou Yao said mysteriously, “What’s the name of the woman who has just married Shi Xiao two months ago?”
“Yuan Shu?!” Li Ran was shocked. Yuan Shu wasn’t from the entertainment industry at all. How did she come into contact with Wang Shen?
Zhou Yao looked at the other ruby ring as well and asked Li Ran to choose the most suitable one for her. Then, she added, “It’s quite strange. Yuan Shu seems to know the music director of this movie, Mu Zhou, and Mu Zhou introduced her to Wang Shen. Wang Shen just met Yuan Shu, but offered her the female lead role..”
