Chapter 127 - 127 Since You’re So Powerful, Why Didn’t You Kill Me?

127 Since You’re So Powerful, Why Didn’t You Kill Me?

The man looked to be in his forties and looked friendly and harmless.

Shi Ran recognized the other party at a glance.

‘Wen Gongliang?’

She was vigilant, but she still pretended to be puzzled. “May I ask who you are?”

Wen Gongliang did not suspect anything. “I’m Wen Gongliang. You might not know me, but you must know my daughter. I’m Wen Yufei’s father.”

“What’s the matter?” Her reaction was ordinary.

Wen Gongliang said, “I want to talk to you about my daughter and Jinchen.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the driver opened the door of the backseat on the other side.

Shi Ran raised her eyebrows.

It seemed that if he did not chat with Wen Gongliang tonight, he would not let her go easily.

She looked around and pointed not far away. “There’s a cafe there. Let’s talk over there.”

She did not intend to get into Wen Gongliang’s car.

This person was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Wen Gongliang sized her up secretly.

This woman was more vigilant than he had imagined.

He raised a gentle smile and got out of the car.

The two of them arrived at the coffee shop and ordered two cups of coffee.

“I’m sorry to have asked someone to investigate your whereabouts. I really have something to discuss with you, so I have to offend you,” Wen Gongliang said apologetically.

Just by looking at him, he really looked like a kind elder.

“You can go straight to the point,” Shi Ran said bluntly.

She did not have much time to listen to Wen Gongliang beat around the bush with her.

A cold glint flashed across Wen Gongliang’s eyes, but the smile on his face did not change. “I’ve already introduced myself just now. I’m Wen Yufei’s father.”

“This time, I’m looking for Miss Shi because of the rumors about you and Jinchen on the Internet. Does Miss Shi know that Feifei and Jinchen are engaged?”

“Yes,” Shi Ran replied indifferently.

“So, Miss Shi, even though you know that Jinchen is engaged, you’re still flirting with him?” Wen Gongliang asked sharply, but he still had a kind expression on his face.

It seemed that Wen Yufei’s acting skills were inherited.

The corners of her mouth curled up. “So what does President Wen want to tell me?”

Wen Gongliang took a sip of coffee and said calmly, “Miss Shi used to be the daughter of the Shi Family. Although Miss Shi is only an adopted daughter, I know the Shi Family’s family background.”

“The capital is a place where power gathers. If these forces are divided into one to nine, the Shi family can only rank seven.”

“On the other hand, the Wen Family and the Chu Family are top-notch families that can be ranked first. Miss Shi, do you think it’s possible for an adopted daughter of a seventh-rank family to marry into a top-notch family?”

Shi Ran met Wen Gongliang’s shrewd eyes and smiled faintly. “President Wen seems to be hinting at something?”

Wen Gongliang smiled brightly. “I’m just chatting with you. I’ve seen your variety show and I quite like a junior like you.”

“I came to look for you today because I couldn’t bear to see you get hurt because of Jinchen, so I came to remind you.”

“Oh?” Her voice was lazy.

Wen Gongliang did not mind. Instead, he continued, “I think Miss Shi knows how terrifying and intense the disputes among the top wealthy families are when you watch movies.”

“Jinchen is the future head of the Chu Family. The moment he was confirmed as the heir, his situation was already like walking on thin ice.”

“It’s understandable that you like Jinchen. After all, he’s outstanding in all aspects, but you know that if you become his wife… Let’s not talk about his wife, let’s talk about his girlfriend.”

“Do you know what it’s like to be his girlfriend?”

Shi Ran lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Wen Gongliang’s expression was cold and fleeting.

He smiled again. “The others in the Chu Family won’t want him to take over the position of the Chu Family’s head. Jinchen is very smart and is very difficult to deal with.”

“Most of the time, they won’t attack Jinchen, but the people around him.”

“From the moment Feifei became Jinchen’s fiancée, she has already suffered countless assassination attempts. All these years, we have also sent a lot of people to protect her.”

“The Wen Family is a bodyguard company and a large family, so they can protect her. Miss Shi, who do you think can protect you? The Shi Family? Or Jinchen?”

She stirred the coffee in her cup and the corners of her lips curled up. “President Wen, this is a lawful society. Do you think you’re filming a movie?”

“The bloodshed in big families is much more cruel than the movies.” Wen Gongliang’s smile faded a little. “I heard that you were almost killed a while ago. It might be those people.”

Shi Ran supported her chin and pretended to understand. “President Wen, you’re right.”

Thinking that she believed him, Wen Gongliang’s smile deepened. “So being with Third Young Master will only bring you endless danger.”

“But President Wen, you saw it. Third Young Master sent someone to protect me that day. I’m still safe,” Shi Ran pretended to be innocent.

Wen Gongliang sneered in his heart. “You should know about the fortune-teller, right? Everyone says that if Jinchen doesn’t marry Feifei before the age of 30, he will die an unnatural death.”

“You like Jinchen, right? Can you bear to watch him die?”

Shi Ran chuckled.

Wen Gongliang frowned. “What are you laughing at?” 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

“I didn’t expect President Wen to believe in these nonsense.”

...

She leaned against the chair and crossed her legs. “Why don’t you just tell me the purpose of your visit today, President Wen? There’s no need to beat around the bush with me.”

Wen Gong was displeased, but the smile on his face did not fade.

He said gently, “Because of this fortune-telling matter, everyone believes that if Feifei dies, Jinchen will die at the age of 30 too.”

“Therefore, Feifei’s encounter since she was young was more difficult and sad than you think. We persuaded her to give up.”

“But because she likes Jinchen, she gritted her teeth and persevered. I didn’t expect a variable like Miss Shi to appear now.”

“As a father, I can’t bear to see my daughter sad. My motive for looking for Miss Shi is very simple. I hope that Miss Shi can leave Jinchen and the capital.”

Shi Ran sneered. “President Wen, it’s your business if you can’t bear to see your daughter sad. What has it got to do with me? Why should I pay for your emotions?”

Wen Gongliang’s expression turned cold. “Miss Shi is really cold-blooded.”

“Why should I be hot-blooded towards an unrelated person?” Shi Ran asked.

“Miss Shi, you’re an actress, but you’re not even willing to pretend in front of me,” Wen Gongliang said sarcastically.

Shi Ran fiddled with the hair on her neck casually. “As for that, of course I’m inferior to you. You clearly want me to die, but you can still pretend to be so kind.”

The smile on Wen Gongliang’s face disappeared. He asked coldly, “What did Chu Jinchen tell you?”

“What do you think?”

Wen Gongliang thought that Chu Jinchen had told her everything that had happened recently, so he stopped hiding his true colors.

“Since Miss Shi knows, you should know very well that with my ability, it’s only a matter of minutes if I want to kill you. I also hope that Miss Shi will know your limits.”

Shi Ran put on a puzzled expression. “Since President Wen is so powerful, why didn’t you kill me last time? If I remember correctly, the person who attacked me last time was President Wen’s lackey.”
