“I refuse,” Shi Ran said coldly.

Her reaction and answer were completely beyond Wen Yufei’s expectations.

Wen Yufei originally thought otherwise because the camera was still filming and so many people were watching.

She had already apologized so humbly, and as long as Shi Ran cared about her image, it was impossible for her to reject their apology.

But…

Chu Jinchen was not surprised.

Moral kidnapping was not feasible with Shi Ran.

Wen Yufei took a deep breath and smiled gently. “I’m very sorry. Xiao Qi was indeed in the wrong this time. I’ll punish her.”

“I wonder if you can let Xiao Qi off this time on my account?”

Shi Ran looked at Xiao Qi’s unconvinced face and curled her lips. “When she framed me, Sister Yufei seemed to believe her and thought that I was the one who did it. At that time, why didn’t Sister Yufei think of giving me face?”

“Besides, I can understand that she’s doing this for you, but… what has it got to do with me?”

Shi Ran had never liked to be secretive. At this moment, she was on the right, so it was even more impossible for her to be a saint.

Wen Yufei bit her lip. “I know it’s very difficult for you. Although this is too much, can you let Xiao Qi off this time on the account that I recommended you to this variety show?”

Seeing that the previous method did not work, Wen Yufei directly activated a new moral kidnapping.

[I don’t think there’s a need for that. Let’s just talk about it.]

[Isn’t Shi Ran’s reputation cleared because of this show? If not for Feifei’s recommendation, how would she have cleared her name?]

[No matter what, Wen Yufei is still Shi Ran’s benefactor. She’s already so humble, so why is Shi Ran still unwilling to let go?]

[I’m really speechless. There are really so many Virgin Marys on the screen.]

[Just say it openly? Have you ever thought that if not for Master Ran’s wit, this matter would not have been clarified?]

[These people have helped me understand the concept of moral kidnapping.]

[My heart aches for my Master Ran. She’s clearly the one who was framed, but she still has to be suppressed by everyone to forgive the criminal!]

Shi Ran’s eyes gradually turned cold.

The smile on her lips gradually became dangerous. “You recommended me to participate in this variety show, so I should forgive you. Then how are we going to settle our previous scores?”

Wen Yufei’s heart skipped a beat.

“What… do you mean?”

“I was kidnapped and almost killed. How are we going to settle these two scores? Could it be that because you recommended me to the variety show last time, these two scores should be written off?”

Wen Yufei’s eyes widened as she retreated.

She did not expect Shi Ran to say these two things on the variety show.

“Shi Ran, what has this got to do with me? Aren’t your words too easy for people to misunderstand?”

Regarding Wen Yufei’s retort, she only raised her eyebrows.

“Am I wrong? The person who kidnapped and attempted to assassinate me belonged to the same faction. They were arrested and the mastermind was revealed to be the coach of the Wen Corporation’s bodyguard company.”

“Why do you think he wanted to assassinate me? This question has always been covered up. Everyone thinks that I’m just unlucky. What do you think?”

Shi Ran asked the question with a smile, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.

However, everyone present and in front of the screen were already shocked.

[!!!]

[What do you mean???]

[Master Ran was even kidnapped???]

[I really thought that she was unlucky to be targeted. Now, it seems that there’s another reason???]

[If there’s really another reason, she really has the guts. She’s not even afraid of offending the entire Wen Corporation.]

[Is this really something I can listen to? Top-notch gossip!!!]

Her words completely shocked Wen Yufei.

It was far beyond her expectations.

However, she did not panic because of this. She still said calmly, “Shi Ran, if you spout nonsense on the Internet and frame the Wen Family’s reputation without evidence, we can sue you!”

“Do you really think I don’t have evidence?” she asked.

Wen Yufei panicked.

She really did not understand this person at all.

However, the only thing one could know was that Shi Ran was not simple at all!!

Moreover, with her personality, it was impossible for her to speak nonsense.

Which meant…

There might really be evidence!

You Te was her father’s man. If there was really evidence, then…

“What exactly are you trying to say?” Wen Yufei stabilized herself and asked.

“What I mean is… no matter what, the mastermind is from the Wen Family. The Wen Family has to take responsibility too. Just take it that I’m giving you face and won’t pursue the responsibility with the Wen Family.”

Shi Ran said it seriously.

Wen Yufei felt that Shi Ran was too shameless.

No matter the truth, this matter was You Te’s mistake in the eyes of the public.

However, based on what she said, the Wen family had to pay for You Te’s mistake?

She even said that she would give her face!

Wen Yufei still wanted to retort, but Shi Ran was the first to say, “Besides, isn’t the reason why you gave me this variety show opportunity because you didn’t want to come? Another reason is because of my manager.”

“At that time, you didn’t even know who I was. You were just giving my agent face, but I can accept it as a favor from you. However, it cannot be an excuse for this matter.”

“So…”

Shi Ran paused and smiled. “I’ve already called the police.”

This time, Xiao Qi completely panicked.

She grabbed the hem of Wen Yufei’s coat tightly, her face filled with nervousness and fear.

Seeing that pleading with Shi Ran wouldn’t work, Wen Yufei turned to Chu Jinchen.

“Jinchen, can you ask Shi Ran not to fuss over Xiao Qi? On account of the good relationship between our two families, can you?”

Her eyes were overflowing with tears, and her nose was red. She looked quite pitiful.

“He can’t make the decision on this matter,” Shi Ran said, breaking Wen Yufei’s thoughts.

She knew that the Wen family and the Chu family were on good terms.

If Chu Jinchen was involved in this matter, it would probably be difficult for him to explain it to the Wen family.

Chu Jinchen smiled lazily and spread his hands. “I’ll listen to her. I can’t make the decision on this matter.”

[Damn! Why do I feel that Third Young Master looks like a henpecked husband??]

[More than that. Third Young Master is clearly still enjoying himself, okay?]

[If I’m not wrong, Master Ran is afraid that Third Young Master will be in trouble, so she doesn’t want Third Young Master to be involved, right?]

[Looking at Third Young Master’s happy expression, Master Ran most likely has this thought.]

[What relationship between the two families? In Third Young Master’s eyes, there’s only Master Ran. Hahahahaha.]

[Fans of Shi Ran, can you stop flattering her? Why don’t you go online and see what your main character has done?]

Wen Yufei had no choice.

She could not convince Shi Ran.

As for Chu Jinchen…

It made her heart ache even more.

She could only turn around and say to Xiao Qi, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”

With the Wen family’s power, it was not difficult to protect Xiao Qi.

Soon, this matter became a trending topic.

The comments were all cursing at Xiao Qi. The dirty water even spread to Wen Yufei.

However, very quickly, the matter of Shi Ran hogging shares suddenly rose to the peak.

This matter directly overshadowed Xiao Qi’s incident.

Thus, Shi Ran was once again getting scolded by the netizens.

Wen Gongliang sat in the office and revealed a satisfied smile.
