Li Ran carefully compared the two ruby rings on Zhou Yao’s hand. One was a hexagonal design with no outstanding aspects, but the color was brighter. The other was a square design that was more sophisticated, but the color was darker.

Zhou Yao’s fingers were slender and she had even practiced the piano when she was young, so the hexagonal cutting design was more suitable for her. Hence, Li Ran chose the hexagonal ruby ring.

Zhou Yao continued to gossip. “In our circle, there are many people who invest in themselves in order to play the lead. In addition, we’ve all heard of Yuan Shu’s deeds. Someone as ostentatious as her might have such thoughts. Of course Yuan Shu will accept Wang Shen’s invitation.”

However, Li Ran didn’t think so. “After meeting her a few times, I realized that Yuan Shu is completely different from what the rumors says she is. She’s simply the complete opposite. Yuan Shu has a calm and dignified temperament. Even my uncle is full of praise for her.”

This time, it was Zhou Yao who was stunned. “Li Ci? Li Ci actually knows how to praise people!”

Zhou Yao had been classmates with Li Ran since she was young and often visited to the Li family’s house. She had known Li Ci for so many years, but this guy was arrogant. Other than Li Ran, he was sharp-tongued to everyone else. Zhou Yao was so angered by him that she even cried a few times.

Moreover, all these years, Zhou Yao had never heard Li Ci praise anyone! Even his most beloved niece, Li Ran, had never been praised by him. Now, he was actually full of praise for a married woman? Did she mishear?!

Li Ran nodded. “I think you should meet Yuan Shu if there’s a chance. I believe you’ll definitely be impressed by her. Even the three mischievous siblings of the Shi family, who no one other than Shi Xiao could tame, have been tamed by Yuan Shu.”

“Tamed?” When Zhou Yao heard this word, she suddenly thought of a piece of gossip she had heard last night. “Xiao Ran, don’t blame me for mentioning your sad past. I just thought of how last night, 1 heard from the hotel staff that Gao Shan was beaten up by a woman on the rooftop of the hotel and that he was beaten up quite badly. Gao Shan was in so much pain that he knelt on the ground!”

“Serves him right!” When Li Ran heard that Gao Shan had been beaten up, she immediately felt very happy. She had been angry when she saw him in the afternoon, but now that she heard that he had been beaten up, she felt extremely happy!

“Yes!” Zhou Yao added, “And the person who hit him seems to be Yuan Shu!”

“Yuan Shu is that capable?” Li Ran was surprised.

Gao Shan had practiced boxing in the gym. Although it was just surface level, it was more than enough for him to deal with a woman.

She didn’t expect Yuan Shu to actually beat Gao Shan up so badly. Impressive! If there was a chance, Li Ran would definitely seek guidance from Yuan Shu!

As she was thinking about it, the bodyguard suddenly called.

After Li Ran picked up the call, the bodyguard said, “Miss, we followed Gao Shan around Dole Square and recorded some of his conversation with the woman beside him. We’ve already sent it to your phone.”

Li Ran hung up the phone and stopped looking at the diamond rings in front of her. She took out her Bluetooth earpiece from her handbag and put it in her ear to listen to the recording.

First, Zheng Yan’s voice sounded. “Gao Shan, if we’re so high profile, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to explain if we’re photographed.”

Gao Shan said disdainfully, “What are you afraid of? You’re an actress. If anything happens, I’ll be the one to lose face. If I’m not afraid, what are you afraid of?”

After hearing this, Li Ran began to feel nauseous. Why hadn’t she realized that Gao Shan was so disrespectful to women in the past?!

One could clearly tell that Zheng Yan was displeased, but she still tried her best to suppress it. “What I mean is that if we’re photographed, the fact that we framed Shen Lu will be discovered. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to explain.”

Gao Shan was impatient. “That’s why you should have slept with him last night. Aren’t men in the Shi family the most particular about credibility? Back then, Yuan Shu was able to marry into the Shi family through this method, so you can do so as well.. Wouldn’t you be able to become the wife of a wealthy family? 1 wonder why you’re pretending to be so aloof!”
