Chapter 106: I Am Your Son's Girlfriend

~8 min read 1,409 words

The Shen Family Manor, which Shen Zhiyuan spent billions to build back then, caused quite a sensation at the time.

Therefore, it took almost no effort to obtain the specific location of the manor.

Li Xinran quickly finished her scheduled engagements and, while Yu Xiang was busy on a phone call, quietly slipped away through the emergency exit.

Looking at the phone that was vibrating incessantly in her hand.

Li Xinran gritted her teeth.

She chose to turn it off directly.

Long before the shoot, she had already booked a flight to Binhai City.

Now, she could not care about any breach of contract penalties.

The company could not be relied upon, so she could only rely on herself.

She had to find the whereabouts of this rumored Young Master Shen as soon as possible and secure this lifeline.

Li Xinran wore a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a black mask.

Wrapped up tightly, she dashed toward the airport fully armed.

As soon as the plane landed.

Li Xinran couldn't wait to hail a taxi and headed straight for the address she had found.

"Driver, please take me to Nanshan Villa."

One hour later.

The taxi stopped in front of the gate of a magnificent manor.

"Driver, why aren't you moving?" Li Xinran asked, tapping the driver's seat back in confusion.

"Beauty, I can only drive up to here; public vehicles aren't allowed inside," the taxi driver said helplessly.

Helpless.

Li Xinran had no choice but to get out and walk toward the vermilion gate on foot.

Nanshan Villa.

It was the only manor-style luxury residence in Binhai City.

And the Shen Family Manor stood alone above all other manors, occupying the entire mountaintop.

Looking down from the air, the cluster of manor villas on the hillside surrounded the Shen Family Manor as if bowing down to it.

In terms of Feng Shui, this is called "wealth-absorbing."

The further Li Xinran walked inside, the more insecure she felt.

The tall jade lions on both sides stood majestically, each one highlighting the nobility and wealth of the owner here.

This kind of place was a level of luxury she couldn't even imagine in her dreams.

She clenched her palms, took a deep breath, forced herself to steady her mind, and walked inside, feigning composure.

"What are you here for?"

Suddenly, an arm clad in a black uniform was raised high, blocking Li Xinran's path.

"……I am here to see Chairman Shen."

"Sorry, this is private property; please go to the company for official business."

Li Xinran paused for a moment, her eyes darting, and she immediately took off her sunglasses and mask, putting on a pitiful expression: "……I'm looking for Chairman Shen, not for business, but for a private matter. Could you please make an exception?"

The bodyguard looked at Li Xinran's face and was slightly taken aback.

This woman, she was actually this beautiful? And……

She seemed a bit familiar; why did he feel like he had seen her somewhere before? After a moment of distraction, the bodyguard immediately regained his focus and softened his tone: "Do you have an appointment?"

"……Ah? No……"

Hearing this, the bodyguard's eyes darkened: "If you don't have one, it won't work. Leave."

Seeing that the bodyguard was unmoved by both soft and hard tactics, Li Xinran gritted her teeth in anger.

It seemed she had to use her final move.

She took out her phone, pulled up a photo, and shoved it in front of the bodyguard:

"Open your eyes and look clearly, I am the girlfriend of Chairman Shen's son!"

"Girl, girlfriend?"

The bodyguard was stunned and hurriedly took Li Xinran's phone to look.

Oh! The bodyguard slapped his forehead.

He had been wondering why this girl looked so familiar! It turned out to be the rumored girlfriend of the Shen Family's young master from a while ago, Li Xinran! He remembered! He remembered everything!

The bodyguard looked at Li Xinran with a playful expression and silently handed the phone back.

Li Xinran was somewhat surprised by the bodyguard's calm reaction.

She had assumed that after revealing her identity, the bodyguard's attitude would change immediately. Either surprised or terrified.

How could he be…… so calm? "So you are Li Xinran? No wonder you looked so familiar."

The bodyguard curled his lips into a smile: "Do you know how many women claim to be Young Master Shen's girlfriend every year?"

"If not a hundred, then eighty. If we believed it just because of a few photos, wouldn't this place have become a zoo long ago?"

Anyone who could work as a bodyguard at a luxury mansion had seen their fair share of celebrities.

Especially artists like her who tried to climb the social ladder by using the Shen Family's influence; they were countless.

"You!"

Not only was Li Xinran turned away, but she was also humiliated, and she instantly felt unable to save face.

"If you don't let me in, I'll just wait at the gate! I don't believe Chairman Shen will never come out!"

Li Xinran stiffened her neck, looking as if she would not give up.

The bodyguard saw this and shook his head helplessly.

Entertainers these days really will do anything to become famous.

"Suit yourself, wait as long as you like; the Shen Family won't see you anyway."

The sound of the two arguing grew louder and louder.

A black Rolls-Royce drove over and slowly came to a stop beside them.

The rear window rolled down, revealing the face of a noblewoman who was extremely well-maintained.

"What is going on?"

Yang Shuqin sat in the back seat, frowning slightly, her tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

Normally, there would be no need for her to pay attention to an argument like this.

It was just that she had vaguely heard the words "Shen Family" in the shouting outside, and suddenly became interested.

The moment she saw Yang Shuqin.

The bodyguard immediately became nervous, hurried over to the car window, bowed, and explained: "Madam, this young lady insists that she is Young Master Shen's girlfriend and says she wants to see the Chairman of the Shen Corporation..."

Shen Huai's girlfriend?

Yang Shuqin raised an eyebrow, her gaze silently shifting to Li Xinran.

Isn't this the girl who was involved in a scandal with her son last time?

Why did she come here all by herself?

She waved her hand at the bodyguard, looked at Li Xinran, and said in a calm tone: "You want to see the Chairman of the Shen Corporation; what is it about?"

Seeing the bodyguard instantly switch to such a fawning expression after this noblewoman appeared.

And calling her "Madam"?

Li Xinran's eyes lit up.

This person must be the wife of the Chairman of the Shen Family! As if grabbing a life-saving straw, Li Xinran rushed over, gripped the car window, and said aggrievedly: "You are the wife of the Chairman of the Shen Family, aren't you?"

"I have something very important to tell you, it's about your son."

Hearing this, Yang Shuqin looked at Li Xinran with deep eyes.

Then, she lightly tilted her chin toward the inside of the car: "Get in."

Li Xinran felt a surge of joy in her heart.

She knew she had bet correctly.

This noblewoman was indeed the wife of the Shen Family, Yang Shuqin.

The resumes of the Chairman of the Shen Group and his wife could be found with a simple search on an encyclopedia.

For public figures like them, their information had been dug up completely.

Li Xinran hurriedly thanked her, and amidst the bodyguard's shocked expression, she bent down and climbed into the back seat of the Rolls-Royce.

The car moved forward slowly.

The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat heavy.

Yang Shuqin sat nobly in the back seat, looking at the visibly uneasy Li Xinran with a haughty, scrutinizing gaze.

Although she was always carefree and scatterbrained in front of Shen Huai.

But in front of outsiders, she was the cold and noble wife of the Shen Family.

"Weren't you shouting outside that you were my son's girlfriend?"

"Why is it that now that you're in the car, you won't say a word?"

Yang Shuqin spoke up to break the stifling atmosphere.

Li Xinran took a deep breath and spoke cautiously: "Madam Yang, I came to find you because I want to beg you to let me meet your son, please?"
