Shen Xinyi was startled, not expecting Liu Ruyan to suddenly appear behind her. However, she quickly calmed down.
"Liu Ruyan! Because I'm jealous of you, I hate you. Since childhood, you've always been better than me. You have parents who doted on you, while I didn't. You had friends flocking around you, and I didn't. You had teachers who loved and cared for you, and I didn't.
I liked playing with you, not because I liked you, but because I wanted to be better than you. I wanted to surpass you. But Lu Fan likes you and not me. Hmph, even the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra you learned better than me. Why? Am I not as pretty as you? Is my family background not as good as yours?" Shen Xinyi suddenly turned around and said.
"Xinyi! You... you actually think like that?" Liu Ruyan felt a chill. Her best friend since childhood, her close companion, had actually been jealous of her all along, constantly competing with her. She even wanted to snatch the man she loved, and if she couldn't have him, she wanted to destroy him! This... this was a terrifying thought!
"Sister Xinyi! You're so terrifying, does your Shen family know?" Another voice suddenly chimed in. Lu Fan and Li Jingjing appeared beside them.
Shen Xinyi's face paled with shock. She could bear the consequences of her actions alone, but she absolutely did not want to implicate the Shen family. She knew Lu Fan's capabilities; if he could destroy the Lei family, he could destroy the Shen family.
"No! I'll bear the responsibility for my own actions. It has nothing to do with the Shen family. I know I'm no match for you, so do whatever you want to me!" Shen Xinyi gritted her teeth and said.
"I don't believe that.
Tu Tu was someone you hired. The Mother-Son Seven Fiend Array was also arranged by you. From your beautiful face, who could tell how wicked your heart is? Tu Tu is not someone ordinary people can afford to hire. Although you are the eldest daughter of the Shen family, you don't have the authority to use so much money yourself. Moreover, there was Tu Tu's senior brother, that dwarf, and Tu Tu's disciple, Guan Xiaocheng.
Without money, would these people risk their lives knowing they would die?" Lu Fan said calmly, his gaze fixed on Shen Xinyi's face.
Li Jingjing, standing beside him, didn't say a word, but her eyes were equally fixed on Shen Xinyi's.
"The Shen family knew you were doing these things but pretended not to. They even allowed you to embezzle a large sum of money and pretended not to know. No wonder I couldn't find out who wanted to harm me; I never would have thought it was someone so close to me. And you, you never imagined you were just a pawn of the Shen family. How pathetic! Truly pathetic!" Lu Fan shook his head slightly.
"That's impossible! That's absolutely impossible! Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense!" Shen Xinyi's sanity seemed to be on the verge of collapse as she roared.
"You can go. Even though you are heartless and treacherous, I know Ruyan can't bring herself to harm you. I'll let you leave. From now on, your relationship is severed. I hope we never see each other again." After speaking, Lu Fan took Liu Ruyan's hand and led Li Jingjing away. m..oΓg
Shen Xinyi stood there stunned, laughing foolishly. She had done such wicked things, and yet they couldn't even be bothered to draw a sword to kill her.
"Xiao Fan! Do you really intend to let her go, and the Shen family?" Liu Ruyan asked suddenly after they returned to the villa.
"Jingjing! Was someone from the Shen family involved?" Lu Fan didn't answer directly but looked at Li Jingjing and asked.
"Yes! Shen Xinyi's uncle! When she was most flustered, she was thinking of not implicating her uncle. When you mentioned the Shen family, she was still thinking of her uncle," Li Jingjing replied.
"If my guesses are all correct, it's not that I want to let her go, but the Shen family won't let her go. The Shen family won't keep her at the risk of their own annihilation," Lu Fan said calmly.
"If you don't act, who will annihilate the Shen family?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"Do you know how many powerful individuals attended the wedding today? Hmph! Even if I wanted to spare the Shen family, they are already finished." Lu Fan shook his head slightly. Ten people from Huarong Mansion had come today. Would they pretend nothing had happened?
"Oh dear... Jingjing! Today is Brother Fan's wedding night, why are you tagging along? Come on, I'll take you for a late-night snack." Zhao Rongrong suddenly appeared before them. Seeing Li Jingjing caught between Lu Fan and Liu Ruyan, she quickly pulled Li Jingjing away.
"Actually... actually, Brother Fan pulled me over!" Li Jingjing tried to explain.
*Puchi...*
*Puchi...*
Lu Fan and Liu Ruyan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Shen Xinyi's motorcycle sped down the road, almost at its limit. Suddenly, a black Mercedes-Benz appeared in front of her. An old man in his sixties stood beside the Mercedes.
"Master Duan? What are you doing here?" Shen Xinyi quickly stopped her motorcycle.
"Miss Xinyi! Of course, I'm waiting for you!" Master Duan said slowly.
"This is my uncle's car, where is my uncle?" Shen Xinyi asked, looking at the Mercedes beside them.
"The family head said that you disobeyed him this time and would ruin the Shen family. You are not allowed to return to the Shen family," Master Duan continued calmly.
"You're not letting me return to the Shen family? Then... then where should I go?" Shen Xinyi's face changed drastically, and she asked suddenly.
"The family head has instructed me to send you on your way!"
..........
The next day, when Lu Fan and Liu Ruyan woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. As they went to serve their parents morning tea, they heard shocking news: Shen Xinyi had a fatal accident while driving under the influence. She was gone!
"Brother Fan's master, you're so rich! I love this villa so much." Zhan Tai Ruomei finally found an opportunity to speak to her master, holding onto Lu Fan's arm.
"If you like it, let your sister accompany you here for a few more days. You can come whenever you want. Master's home is your home," Lu Fan said, stroking Zhan Tai Ruomei's forehead.
"Master's wife! Can I come? Sister said that after Master got married, he has to ask Master's wife first about things," Zhan Tai Ruomei said, looking at Liu Ruyan with her big, blinking eyes.
"Of course, you can come! Ruoxin, you can come anytime you want. Master's wife likes you very much!" Liu Ruyan said quickly.
"Sister won't let me stay for many days, saying I shouldn't disturb Brother Fan's master's honeymoon. Hmph!" Zhan Tai Ruomei said with a wronged expression.
"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.
Jiang Ruoxin, standing nearby, looked helpless. This child was invincible...
At this moment, Bai Xuemei, Lin Fang, Yue Yue, and others also came over. There were too many guests yesterday, and everyone didn't have a chance to talk to Lu Fan much.
"Lu Fan! Ruyan! Congratulations to both of you, and I'm truly envious!" Bai Ruomei felt a pang of sourness in her heart, but she still sincerely offered her blessings.
"Thank you, Sister Xuemei! I believe Sister Xuemei will meet her Prince Charming soon too!" Liu Ruyan went over and held Bai Xuemei's hand.
"I hope so. After all, I'm getting older. Whether it's a white horse or a black horse, I need to snag one soon, or I'll become an old maid," Bai Xuemei said jokingly.
