Chapter 1129: A Diamond Ring Custom-Made for Only One Person in a Lifetime

Found it.

In an inconspicuous corner of the Study, left alone for a few days, the box was covered in a thin layer of dust.

"You open it." She handed the box to Qi Heng, her gaze open and frank.

"You should open it yourself; someone gave it to you, after all." Qi Heng trusted Shi Ran one hundred percent, but his tone was still a bit sour and unpleasant.

What if there is a DR diamond ring in here?

Why?

It should have been him giving it to her, but now someone else had beaten him to it.

"Small-minded."

Shi Ran understood exactly what he was thinking without him having to say it.

She tore open the packaging in a few swift motions—a beautiful jewelry box.

She opened it, and sure enough, a gold pen lay inside, but there was also a DR diamond ring next to it!

Shi Ran:...

Besides that, there was a handwritten letter; the handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and the general meaning was that he wanted to pursue her and liked her.

She had the right to refuse, and he had the right to pursue.

Qi Heng turned and walked away.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

"To find Hong Yileng."

He really did go, and he beat Hong Yileng up, right in front of everyone.

He had been rational before seeing the gift, but after seeing that it was truly a diamond ring, he lost control!

But fighting did not solve any problems; instead, it further intensified the conflict.

Hong Yileng held a press conference, disclosing the facts of being beaten by Qi Heng in detail, yet he refused to clarify his relationship with Shi Ran, as if the two of them really had something going on!

Taking advantage of this buzz, Hong Yileng's new drama became a hit before it even aired; not only was he unaffected, but his market value also soared.

Qi Heng and Shi Ran were greatly affected.

The President called, scolding his son severely from the start.

He told him to always keep his status in mind.

Even though he was abroad, he must not be willful or reckless; he could not just do whatever he wanted, and he must always remember that he was the future successor of L Country.

He did not blame Shi Ran; such tactics could fool the vast majority of ordinary people, but to the President, who was accustomed to schemes and deceit, it was just a petty trick that couldn't be brought into the light and wasn't worth mentioning at all.

Although the trick couldn't be brought into the light, the impact it caused was very bad.

He was the President and disdained dealing with Hong Yileng; regardless of who won or lost, if this matter spread, it would be bad for the President's reputation!

Moreover, he believed the Sheng Family would not sit idly by, and their results would certainly be better than his own.

Thus, the President only scolded his son, reprimanding him for acting impulsively.

The Sheng Family.

The Study.

Sheng Zirui was also sent out, leaving only the husband and wife to discuss countermeasures.

A stack of documents lay in front of Shi Youxuan, all about Hong Yileng, and very detailed.

From his birth to what kind of kindergarten, primary school, and middle school he attended as a child, and what changes had occurred in his family during that time, everything was crystal clear!

His family was small, and his social life was even simpler.

He loved to travel, and although he was very handsome, he had never had a girlfriend.

The only person he had ever been rumored to be with was Shi Ran.

According to the data, this person had no issues!

There were many boys who admired their daughter, but when it came to rumors that affected Shi Ran's life and studies, the couple could not sit idly by.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

If they wanted to take action, they first had to figure out the opponent's background and what he wanted.

From the data, this person had no problems at all; he was even a positive and upward-striving young man!

Shi Youxuan: "I still feel something is wrong. I want to go over there and meet him in person."

"I'll go too," her husband said.

"Can you get away from your company?"

Sheng Hanyu gritted his teeth: "Even if the company goes bankrupt, I have to go. Daring to scheme against my daughter? He's tired of living." A flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes; he hadn't had that look in a long time.

Reaching middle age, life was happy.

Sheng Hanyu had changed quite a bit from his younger days; the "iceberg CEO" was trending toward the path of a kind, handsome uncle, and he would even smile at the children.

He also hadn't used thunderous methods in a long time, but this time he would personally step out to teach this ignorant boy a lesson.

Shi Youxuan handed over the household matters to the housekeeper, Zhang Ma, and set off with her husband.

By evening, they arrived at Shi Ran's school and called her to come out from the entrance of her dormitory.

Unlike in A Country, Shi Ran was attending university in Jiangzhou and lived in a collective dormitory with her classmates.

"Mom, Dad, why did you come so suddenly?"

"If we didn't come suddenly, how would we know if you're doing well or not?"

The couple looked their daughter up and down.

Fortunately, she wasn't haggard even without makeup, and she looked to be in good spirits; she didn't look like she was forcing a smile.

She hadn't lost weight either, and had even gained a little bit.

This meant her appetite was good, and she was eating and drinking well.

Shi Ran blinked mischievously: "Alright, now that you've seen me, you can rest easy, right? I'm fine; this little matter isn't enough to knock me down. I'm not that weak."

Before seeing their daughter, they worried she wasn't doing well.

But after seeing their daughter, they felt relieved, and as parents, they began to feel dissatisfied again.

Shi Youxuan glared at her and chided: "A girl should act like a girl. You are so headstrong about everything; what is Qi Heng supposed to do?"

Sheng Hanyu also lectured his daughter: "We came to help you resolve the aftermath. You don't like these groundless rumors, and you disdain associating with these people. You are aloof, but don't think this is a virtue or a good thing."

"People live in a society; it's impossible not to interact with others. Many things won't just vanish into thin air because you ignore them. You still need to explain when necessary, and things that can be resolved early should be resolved..."

For the first time, he felt that being too aloof was not necessarily a good thing.

After all, in this world, not everyone will confront you head-on; there are many who like to lurk in dark corners and scheme.

Shi Ran nodded: "Okay."

Although her parents blamed her, there was even more heartache.

Her mom and dad told her to treat this as a small setback in life and a reminder for the future, but she didn't need to worry about the follow-up; her parents would handle it!

She reminded her parents: "That Hong Yileng is very good with words. He seems harmless on the surface, but in reality, he is not as simple as he appears. Please be careful."

A child is, after all, still a child.

Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu disdained negotiating with Hong Yileng; was he even worthy?

The two of them directly bought the film and television company he belonged to and issued a clarification in the company's name.

It was a coincidence.

Just as they finished the clarification, a bunch of huge scandals broke out in the entertainment industry one after another!

These scandals were bigger than the last.

The protagonists of each scandal were more famous than Hong Yileng, and the little bit of buzz he had created was quickly overshadowed.

At the same time, bad news came out: the film crew's cashier had absconded with the funds, the capital chain had broken, and the new drama could no longer be filmed.

Since it couldn't be filmed, work had to stop, and stopping work meant the film crew had to withdraw from the campus.

These events happened almost in a single morning, with such high frequency that Hong Yileng couldn't react at all before receiving the news to return to the company!

The company arranged a new task for him, with a nice-sounding name—learning and training.

In reality, he was being shelved; during the training period, he was not allowed to take on acting roles or have any form of contact with any media.
