“You!” Zheng Yan was so angry that she was speechless. Although she had relied on her body to get to where she was today, she was also a principled person. She would never have sex with someone who wasn’t sober. Otherwise, if they turned against her, she would be the one who would suffer!

Moreover, given the situation last night, the Shi family would soon discover that Shi Lu was missing. If they didn’t run far away, wouldn’t they be waiting for others to discover them?

When Gao Shan was refuted, he suddenly felt dissatisfied. “What? Are you trying to be disrespectful to me again? Don’t forget how 1 punished you at the clubhouse this morning!”

At the thought of her neck being strangled, Zheng Yan was filled with fear. Her neck couldn’t help but tremble and she had goosebumps. She took two steps back in fear and didn’t dare to continue the conversation.

Gao Shan said, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Aren’t you very eloquent?” Right on the heels of that, Zheng Yan’s cry for help was heard. “Let go of me!” However, calling for help was obviously useless. Gao Shan had already dragged Zheng Yan back to the car and sped all the way back to the clubhouse to start a new round of torture on Zheng Yan.

Li Ran didn’t know what happened after that.

The recording ended here. Li Ran felt even angrier after hearing it. Gao Shan was so docile in front of her, but she didn’t expect that his was his true colors, and she had actually lived with such a liar for so many years. How disgusting!

Seeing that Li Ran’s expression was getting worse, Zhou Yao was worried that she was sick, so she asked, “Xiao Ran, are you alright? You don’t look good.”

Li Ran shook her head. “I’m sorry that 1 can’t accompany you today. 1 have something to deal with.”

Zhou Yao didn’t force her to stay. “It’s okay. If you have something on, you can leave first. Is the chauffeur picking you up downstairs? Do you need my chauffeur to send you?”

When Li Ran saw how considerate her good friend was, she was touched and the disgust caused by Gao Shan gradually subsided. “It’s alright. The chauffeur is waiting for me downstairs. Choose a ring first. You must choose a ring you like today and put it on my tab as a gift for you!”

After Li Ran left the jewelry store, she immediately sent the recording to Yuan Shu and called her right on the heels of that.

Yuan Shu sounded puzzled. She clearly didn’t know why Li Ran suddenly called her. “Hello, Miss Li?”

Li Ran had been with Li Ci for so many years, so she was naturally good at exchanging pleasantries. “Hello, Madam Shi. 1 happened to hear something important today, so I recorded it and sent it to you. 1 think it will help you.”

Yuan Shu clicked on the recording and understood what it meant after listening to it for a while. With this voice recording, Shi Lu’s matter would be resolved.

Yuan Shu knew that there was no free lunch in the world. It was impossible for Li Ran to help her for no reason, especially at a time like this. In addition, Li Ci and Yuan Shu had just gotten into an argument a few days ago. At this time, Li Ran’s help made her think that there were something she wanted in return.

Yuan Shu asked tentatively, “Miss Li, you’ve helped me so much. How do you want me to thank you?”

Li Ran smiled in relief.

According to her temper in the past, she definitely wouldn’t meddle in other people’s business, especially if it wasn’t her family’s business. Moreover, her temper was very straightforward. She definitely wouldn’t leave any favor unreturned. Whether it was accepting others’ help or helping others herself, the debts of favors would be repaid immediately and wouldn’t be left for the future.

Under Li Ci’s long-term influence, she knew that she had to be careful. The Li family couldn’t have unpaid debts.

But today, after Li Ran, who had just gotten a divorce, saw Gao Shan’s true colors, just based on the matter of Yuan Shu teaching Gao Shan a lesson, it was worth Li Ran helping her this time.

“Madam Shi, you’re too polite. Take this recording as my thanks for helping me teach a scumbag a lesson.”

Actually, Li Ran and Gao Shan’s divorce had something to do with Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shu hadn’t asked Chu Mei to clarify and forced Chu Mei into a corner, many things wouldn’t have been revealed. Therefore, Li Ran had to thank Yuan Shu for this..
