Chapter 107: Presidential Suite, Booked for the Year!

Hearing this, Yang Shuqin chuckled softly.

"Aren't you my son's girlfriend? How is it that you haven't even met him?" Yang Shuqin asked in a teasing tone.

"To tell you the truth, those were all fake; they were just packaging the company created for me. I hope you can forgive me, Madam Yang!"

Li Xinran spoke the truth directly, then changed the subject: "I shouldn't have come to disturb you, Madam, but I have encountered a situation—one that could ruin my reputation—so I had no choice but to come to you."

A profound look appeared in Yang Shuqin's eyes.

This girl was interesting.

She had expected her to make up some excuses to cover her lies.

She knew full well about the rumors between her and Shen Huai.

Yang Shuqin had even thought that if Li Xinran lied and spread rumors to her face, she would certainly not let her off.

Unexpectedly, this child was so honest in her conversation? "What kind of situation have you encountered? Tell me about it."

Yang Shuqin became interested and asked while smoothing out her skirt.

"Madam, are you aware of the Ryan Press Conference?" Li Xinran looked into Yang Shuqin's eyes and said in a low voice.

"Speak plainly."

Li Xinran gritted her teeth and confessed everything: "Someone told me that my rumored boyfriend, the Young Master Shen, will appear at this press conference as a mystery guest!"

?

Yang Shuqin's hand, which was smoothing her skirt, stopped abruptly in mid-air.

Shen Huai was going to appear at the press conference?

Wouldn't that be equivalent to revealing his identity?

Her heart tightened suddenly, and a surge of immense excitement welled up from deep within.

This boy.

Is he finally willing to come back?!!

Li Xinran did not notice Yang Shuqin's unusual reaction.

She continued to pour her heart out: "Madam, I know my sudden visit is very abrupt, but I truly have my own reasons."

Yang Shuqin remained silent and gently raised her hand: "Tell me."

Li Xinran took a deep breath and decided to lay her cards on the table: "If—and I mean if—Young Master Shen really makes a public appearance at the press conference, then the rumors I hyped up before will become a massive lie."

"When that time comes, I might face being shelved by my company, or even being blacklisted by the entire entertainment industry!"

Li Xinran clenched her fists tightly, her tone filled with a hint of despair.

Yang Shuqin looked at her with interest: "So, what does this have to do with me? Didn't you nod and agree to cooperate with these rumors in the first place?"

"……Yes, you are right, Madam." Li Xinran bit her lip and swallowed hard, "But I had nothing back then, and now……"

Once she said this, Yang Shuqin understood everything.

Having enjoyed the peak of brilliance, how could one be willing to settle for being an ordinary person? It was just that the girl before her had clearly chosen the wrong shortcut.

Relying on those baseless rumors? Relying on this pitiful appearance of being at the mercy of others? "Madam, I can do anything!" Li Xinran suddenly looked up, meeting Yang Shuqin's playful gaze.

"As long as you can let me meet your son, I can agree to any condition you set!"

"Any condition?"

Yang Shuqin raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued by her words.

"Yes, that's right, any condition!" Li Xinran looked at Yang Shuqin with absolute determination.

Just then.

Yang Shuqin's phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"What a coincidence."

Yang Shuqin gave Li Xinran a meaningful look, then answered the phone right in front of her.

"Hello? Son, you're actually taking the initiative to call your mother?"

On the other end of the line, Shen Huai lowered his voice and spoke in a deep tone: "Mom, is it convenient for you to talk right now?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Shuqin glanced at Li Xinran, her finger quietly pressing the volume button to the lowest setting.

"It's convenient, go ahead."

"I plan to attend the Ryan Press Conference in three days as the Young Master Shen."

"Mm, okay." Yang Shuqin's flat tone made Shen Huai frown in confusion.

That's not right. How could his mother be so calm?

Upon hearing this, shouldn't she be ecstatic and then bombard him with ten thousand questions? He had even prepared the answers, so why was she not playing by the rules this time?

"……Don't you have anything to say?" Shen Huai swallowed and asked.

Yang Shuqin narrowed her eyes, her gaze sweeping over Li Xinran, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of her eyes: "Of course I do."

"Right now, immediately, get yourself home at once."

"Your rumored girlfriend is waiting for you here, hurry over!"

?

Shen Huai was shocked.

"……Where would I get a rumored girl……" Before he could finish, he suddenly realized what she meant and grabbed the phone to question her: "Mom, you don't mean Li Xinran, do you?"

"Never mind who it is, don't forget what you told your father."

Shen Huai was momentarily speechless.

He had promised his father that he was working at Xingyao with the goal of winning over the daughter of the Yang Family.

If Li Xinran were to suddenly cross his father's path now, it would inevitably ruin his plan.

His heart suddenly tightened.

Shen Huai immediately hung up the phone and turned to call Lin Yeman.

"Where is Li Xinran right now?"

"Li Xinran? She should be out running errands for her schedule, right?"

"……Really?"

Hearing Shen Huai's anxious tone, Lin Yeman suddenly became uncertain as well.

"I'll go confirm." Lin Yeman hurriedly picked up the internal phone on the side and called Yu Xiang.

A moment later.

Lin Yeman's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot; she picked up the phone and said in a gloomy tone, "Li Xinran is missing."

"There is an extra flight record in her itinerary heading to Binhai."

……Binhai……

Shen Huai's scalp went numb in an instant.

This Li Xinran had actually run off to his parents' house without a word! Without a second thought, he immediately bought a plane ticket to Binhai.

And his mother, too—how could she not give him a heads-up about such an important matter?

If he hadn't called her about something, she probably would have kept him in the dark! At this moment.

Yang Shuqin sat inside the car, tapping her knuckles against her knee rhythmically.

Li Xinran, meanwhile, had her body held straight, sitting upright with such tension that she didn't even dare to take a deep breath.

"I heard you are a student at Jianghai University of Science and Technology."

Yang Shuqin looked at her with a faint gaze: "The person you are actually dating in those rumors is your boyfriend from university, right?"

"……Yes." Facing Yang Shuqin's sharp gaze, Li Xinran did not dare to lie at all.

"What is his name?"

"……He, he also has the surname Shen," Li Xinran said in a voice as small as a mosquito's, "his name is Shen Huai."

Hearing the two words "Shen Huai," Yang Shuqin almost failed to keep her expression composed.

She knew it; this brat spent his days at school doing nothing serious and only chasing girls.

Sure enough.

And now, he had been caught red-handed.

"Also surnamed Shen? It seems you have quite the connection with the Shen Family."

Yang Shuqin did not expose Shen Huai's identity; instead, she curled her lips into a meaningful smile.

Afterwards, she pulled a black room card out of her Hermès bag.

"This is the room card for the Presidential Suite at the W Hotel in Binhai; I have already booked it for the year."

"Sometimes when my son doesn't want to stay at home, he goes there to sleep."

She handed the card to Li Xinran: "You go there and wait for him obediently; I imagine he is probably already on a plane back to Binhai by now."
