Chapter 297

Gu Ren’s eyes fell on the box in Ye Zhi’s hand: “Is this for me?”

Ye Zhi bit her lip slightly and said nothing.

Gu Ren’s lips curled up as a rare smile appeared on his face: “Then…do you have anything to tell me?”

Ye Zhi could hear her heart beating frantically as blood rushed to her brain. She suddenly realized that all her ‘meticulous actions’ could not go unnoticed under his eyes.

Ye Zhi shut her eyes and spoke directly in a spurt of energy.

“I like you too.”

This time, it was Gu Ren’s turn to be stunned. He fell in a daze as a sudden joy hit him hard, almost making his whole body lose strength.

Ye Zhi’s face also turned beet red. While Gu Ren was dazed, she reached out, pushed the gift into his hand and ran out immediately.

Gu Ren asked himself: What did she just say?

She said that she liked him too.

Gu Ren stood there, lost in thought. Finally, a light chuckle filled the air.

…

Sheng Man had been feeling restless recently. She couldn’t figure out the reason. She just felt flustered like something bad was going to happen. She wondered whether Sheng Bang had done something wrong again.

After work, Sheng Man drove to her original home for the first time.

When Sheng Man arrived, the house was unusually quiet. It seemed that even the servants were not present. The lights in the house were on, but the living room was empty.

At this time, a faint voice came from upstairs. Sheng Man followed it silently to its source.

The voice came from Sheng Lian’s study. Sheng Man didn’t directly knock on the door, but she leaned against it and listened.

Sheng Lian’s flustered and exasperated voice sounded from the room: “What did you say? You actually went to gamble and lost so much money!”

Because Sheng Lian had already told the servants to leave, he didn’t lower his volume so everything was clearly transmitted to Sheng Man’s ears.

Sheng Bang’s indifferent voice sounded: “Don’t we have the Sheng family? As long as Sheng Man is there, we won’t get into trouble.”

Sheng Man knew that it was the same old routine of Sheng Lian educating Sheng Bang. Not wanting to waste her time, Sheng Man was about to leave but Sheng Lian’s next sentence stopped her in her tracks.

“What do you know? If the Sheng family’s biological daughter comes back, it will be over for all of us.”

“It was me who abducted Sheng Luo back then. Now the trafficker came to the door and threatened me. If I don’t follow his wishes, he will tell everything to the Sheng family.”

It was the first time that Sheng Bang heard of this. He seemed to have received a huge impact.

“Sheng Luo…was… you…”

Sheng Lian didn’t care about Sheng Bang’s shock: “Keep your mouth shut for me. If I don’t do that, would you still have your current life?”

“Anyway, the situation is critical now. You’d better give me peace of mind during this period and behave properly. Don’t mess around.”

Sheng Man’s hands and feet turned so cold that she even forgot to breathe. She didn’t even have the strength to support herself and stumbled down a little.

Sheng Lian was talking about the stakes with Sheng Bang when he suddenly heard a slight noise from outside the door. He stopped immediately.

Sheng Lian frowned as he motioned to Sheng Bang to keep quiet. He walked to the door cautiously and then suddenly opened the door.

There was no one outside, only the sound of wind could be heard coming from the window.

It seemed that the slight sound just now was caused by wind.

After Sheng Man came to know that the Sheng family’s biological daughter might come back, she kept thinking about it in her heart.

Sheng Man was going to participate in Cartier’s activities today. She knew that Ye Zhi would also come, but she had no desire to compete with Ye Zhi now.
