C168 The Storm Died down

Zheng Tianlan was held in Chu Shaofeng's arms as if she was protecting her own child. She also put on a pitiful look, completely losing her previous arrogance.

Yin Hanchuan's fingers moved again. He gently touched the surface of the watch like a machine. His lazy posture made Shangguan Lingwan's ears turn red.

No wonder Ling Ruolan did not want to marry him. Why was this man so beautiful?

"Fourth brother." Yin Hanchuan sighed. As his voice faded, his eyes swept across Chu Shaofeng's determined face, "It has been seven years, but you still haven't improved."

Chu Shaofeng was somewhat confused by his words. He kept feeling that he had done something wrong. He felt Zheng Tianlan in his arms tremble slightly. He plucked up his courage again. "Boss, I know you are not satisfied with my decision. But Tianlan is my wife."

"Fourth brother, how did I teach you in the past?" Yin Hanchuan's thin lips moved. His knife-like gaze fell on Chu Shaofeng. "You have disappointed me."

Du Chenjin wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Boss, this matter..."

Unexpectedly, Wang Mingyang directly punched him in the chest. "Shut up, boss said, listen to boss!"

However, his face was full of pride. It was a typical case of using official means to get revenge.

Shangguan Lingwan sat beside him, feeling a little uneasy. She held a cup of tea that was emitting white smoke in her hand. The heat passed through the porcelain and warmed her cold fingers. It was just like her heart that had unknowingly been warmed.

She wanted to say something but was held back by Shangguan Shaoze's gaze.

"Big brother, I..." Chu Shaofeng wanted to say something, but after meeting Yin Hanchuan's gaze, he stopped talking, like a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Yin Hanchuan said, "Silly."

Even a big man like Chu Shaofeng could not help but blush. He was indeed overwhelmed by emotions. Yin Hanchuan was just bluffing. He thought that the other party was going to attack Zheng Tianlan. One should know that back then, the four of them valued friendship the most.

"It was my fault this time. Tianlan was also in the wrong." Chu Shaofeng's mind became much clearer, "Tianlan and I will apologize to Miss Shangguan. Moreover, the Chu Family will cooperate with the Shangguan family."

The Chu Family's contract was a big deal.

In the eyes of outsiders, this round was a little strange, although they didn't know how easy it was between the four of them. But the Shangguan siblings saw something strange. Shangguan Shaoze also knew that the cooperation of the Chu family had always been hard to ask for. This was undoubtedly a great help to the Shangguan family.

However, wasn't it too difficult for Lingwan?

Shangguan Lingwan was also magnanimous. After all, both families were large families. If there was any disagreement or even hostile relationship because of this matter, it would be too much. She said, "If the two of you sincerely apologize, I naturally have to accept it."

Zheng Tianlan's face turned red. The reason why she was so weak was to avoid this disaster. In the end, she still had to apologize?

How could she apologize to this foxy seductress!

She felt extremely wronged. She stubbornly pulled on the corner of Chu Shaofeng's clothes, but was rejected by Chu Shaofeng with his eyes.

"Miss Shangguan, I'm sorry." Chu Shaofeng bowed.

Shangguan Lingwan sighed with emotion at the Chu family's daring action. However, the main culprit of this matter was not Chu Shaofeng. "Mr. Chu, I think you understand what I mean."

Chu Shaofeng's face turned pale, but he still pushed Zheng Tianlan.

Zheng Tianlan's face was almost red to the point of dripping blood. She stood there for a long time and made a sound.

If it was in the past, she would definitely play rogue and dawdle over there. After all, Chu Shaofeng was the one who took advantage of her. But when she met Yin Hanchuan's gaze, her entire body trembled. It was like a lamb being stared at by a hungry wolf. It was a fear that went deep into one's bone marrow.

"Miss Shangguan, I'm sorry..." Zheng Tianlan was about to cry.

Shangguan Lingwan looked at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. It was just an apology. Why did she look like she was going to kidnap the whole family? "Madam, I don't wish for there to be a next time."

Zheng Tianlan hurriedly nodded her head.

This matter seemed to have ended just like that, but Shangguan Shaoze was very astute. How could he let go of any of the things he had heard in the recording? "Madam Zheng, I hope you can explain what is going on with the young lady they were talking about."

"I, I don't know!" Zheng Tianlan's face turned pale.

"Zheng Tianlan." Yin Hanchuan said faintly, "I don't like people who think they are smart."

Zheng Tianlan's fingers twisted the skirt of her skirt. Her eyes were red, but she gritted her teeth and refused to say it out loud. Shangguan Lingwan sighed. She did not want the atmosphere to continue like this. "Forget it."

"Lingwan?" Shangguan Shaoze questioned.

"Forget it. We know who it is, don't we? So why do we need to do it for you? " Shangguan Lingwan made a righteous appearance. Actually, what she said was the truth. Everyone knew who the mastermind was.

It was just that she did not make it clear.

"If that's the case, then the few of you..." Shangguan Shaoze dragged out the end of the sentence.

No one expected that the first one to stand up was Yin Hanchuan, who originally wanted to stay here the most. He slowly tidied his collar and said, "Sorry to bother you, goodbye."

"Goodbye." Shangguan Shaoze nodded. He admired this man for knowing when to advance and when to retreat.

When the house quietened down, Shangguan Lingwan's heart finally felt at ease. She lay on the sofa, a little exhausted. Her eyes were wide open as she looked at the sky. She looked like she had nothing left to live for.

Suddenly, she jumped up and looked at Shangguan Shaoze as if she was trying to please him. "Brother, can this be considered as getting a big business for the family?"

"No, no, it's not just one sum." She counted her fingers excitedly. "There are so many pens!"

Shangguan Shaoze burst into laughter. He rubbed Shangguan Lingwan's head lovingly. "Yes, yes, yes. You have contributed a lot to our family, but..."

He changed the topic and his tone became serious. "If something like this happens again, you know the consequences."

Shangguan Lingwan nodded.

"This time I will help you hide it from your parents. I also don't want them to worry about you when you just come back." Shangguan Shaoze rubbed his forehead in distress. "When can you be a little more obedient?"

When Shangguan Lingwan heard this, she could not help but mutter in her heart, I have always been very obedient...

Of course, she did not believe what he said.

Slowly, she returned to her own room. After such a torturous day, Shangguan Lingwan could be considered to be exhausted. She rolled around on the bed. After hearing the ringtone of the message, she took out her phone to check the message.

It was an unknown number and there was no note.

"Hello, Miss Shangguan. I'm Chu Shaofeng. I'm sorry to bother you, but I want to talk to you about the kidnapping today. Is that okay?"
