C798 Set up a Trap
Zhang Lan's proud character would never allow herself to show weakness in front of others, so very quickly, she restrained her emotions. There were still traces of tears on her face.
But her tone had already returned to normal indifference.
"Faang Ruichen is an unfathomable person. It's best that you don't interact with him often."
Xue Xue'er was somewhat curious as to why Zhang Lan would say such words. This smooth and sophisticated woman was usually very careful and no one dared to offend her.
But she still said, "Of course I will be careful."
"You don't understand, he..."
Zhang Lan suddenly stopped mid-sentence. She opened her eyes wide and looked behind Xue Xue'er, her face full of disbelief. Xue Xue'er turned her head and saw Faang Ruichen standing in a dark corner.
The place he stood was exactly where she and Zhang Lan met, which was also the location of Zhang Lan's husband's tombstone.
Zhang Lan seemed to have her neck pinched by someone and could not say a word. On the other side, Faang Ruichen paused for a moment, and then slowly walked out of the darkness under the moonlight.
He was still as calm and collected as before, carrying a unique demeanor. "Gentlemen, do you have time to come with me to a nearby place to have a drink?"
"No, I still have things to do. I'll be leaving first. Goodbye."
Zhang Lan said that she was in a hurry and left in a hurry, not even giving Xue Xue'er a chance to react. When Xue Xue'er recovered her senses, she found that Zhang Lan's figure had long disappeared.
This speed really made people click their tongues.
"Then Miss Xue, do you have time to have a drink with me?"
Sitting in the restaurant near the hotel, Xue Xue'er held a goblet and felt somewhat uncomfortable. On the other side, Faang Ruichen was in a very good mood. He even gave a tip to the waiter just now.
"Mr. Fang, if you have something to say, just say it."
Unable to withstand the heavy atmosphere, Xue Xue'er was the first to speak. If there was nothing else, she would go back and rest first. Facing Faang Ruichen, she also never knew what was there to talk about.
However, Faang Ruichen didn't think that he especially enjoyed the time when the two of them were together. Suddenly, Xue Xue'er's phone screen lit up. She quickly opened it and saw that it was a message from Zhang Lan.
With just one look, her expression changed instantly.
"What's wrong?"
Faang Ruichen was still asking when Xue Xue'er's face started to become serious. She even looked at him with some hostility.
She said, did he use Zhang Lan's husband's tombstone to threaten Zhang Lan?
The goal was to let Zhang Lan think of a way to make Xue Xue'er take on the role. That role was invested by Faang Ruichen. He was determined to support Xue Xue'er and make her a celebrity that would attract everyone's attention.
But Xue Xue'er did not like it. She only liked a normal life.
After being exposed, Faang Ruichen did not panic at all. He even drank all the wine in the goblet and said a few words, "That was also her choice. If she did not want to, I could not threaten her."
Xue Xue'er was extremely angry and directly poured the wine on Faang Ruichen. Then she turned around and left. She left quickly and very quickly disappeared from Faang Ruichen's sight.
She did not hear a hearty laugh from behind. Faang Ruichen was like this. The harder it was to obtain something, the better he felt. After all, wasn't this the nature of humans?
After Zhang Lan returned to the hotel room, she did not return to her room. Instead, she chose to sit on the sofa. She turned on the dim lamp and quietly emptied herself. For a moment, when she looked up, she found herself sitting on the sofa, cowardly and selfish.
She used to be so confident and flamboyant, but now, she had become like this.
"Qing, will you still like the current me?"
No one answered her. She could only reminisce about the loneliness in this long night. In the end, it was the guilt in her heart that made her send everything to Xue Xue'er.0
Regardless of whether she forgave herself or not, she also opened up the matter.
It turned out that the reason Zhang Lan looked for Xue Xue'er previously was also because Faang Ruichen mentioned her husband's tombstone. Faang Ruichen knew everything. He also knew how to threaten such a woman who was trapped in love.
