Chapter 628: The Most Familiar Stranger
Yang Shuting.
For this name.
Chen Fan thought he had already let go and even forgotten.
Unexpectedly, after being reborn, he encountered her again.
Yes, this girl was Chen Fan's ex-wife in his previous life.
The woman who, when Chen Fan was lying on his deathbed, was still colluding with her lover to file a lawsuit and scheme for Chen Fan's wealth.
In his previous life, Su Ruochu's unexpected death had once made Chen Fan negative and world-weary.
Later, he started his business, and it got better and better.
Turning grief into focus, he put all his energy into the business.
Just when Chen Fan thought he would never marry again in this life.
Yang Shuting appeared. They met at a business cocktail party.
At that time, Yang Shuting was working in a hotel, having just started her job. That night, she was one of the waitresses at the party venue.
A drunk Chen Fan had vomited all over the bathroom floor, and Yang Shuting happened to pass by, so she kindly helped him.
In his drunken stupor, Chen Fan seemed to see a familiar face.
He grabbed her small hand tightly, refusing to let go.
After that night, Chen Fan specifically investigated Yang Shuting.
He learned that this girl was from the countryside, with poor family conditions. She couldn't afford to go to college and started working early.
Thinking of the figure he saw in his hazy state that night, Chen Fan met Yang Shuting again and formally apologized to her.
One was a big boss, the other a hotel waitress. During their first meal at a luxurious five-star restaurant, Chen Fan noticed the woman's awkwardness and nervousness.
This girl was naive, beautiful, kind, spoke softly, and seemed delicate, easily arousing a man's protective instinct.
Yes.
Chen Fan saw Su Ruochu's shadow in her.
So, he began to pursue her.
Dating, shopping, dining, on their fourth meeting, Yang Shuting accepted Chen Fan's proposal.
After marriage, Chen Fan doted on her very much, not letting Yang Shuting go to work, so she became a wealthy housewife every day.
It was from this time that Yang Shuting began to change.
Makeup, shopping, liking luxury goods, jewelry, bags, all kinds of brands, anyway, she was using Chen Fan's card.
Chen Fan didn't mind these behaviors.
After all, he was rich now, and it was normal for women to like these things.
However, later, Yang Shuting began to attend various cocktail parties and gatherings, getting to know more and more wealthy ladies in the circle.
She liked this high-society life, and her entire personality and temper began to undergo a big change.
At that moment, Chen Fan suddenly realized.
It turned out, everything was just a dream.
There was only one Su Ruochu.
No matter how much this woman resembled Ruochu, it was just his own wishful thinking.
As the illusion shattered, Chen Fan lost his initial care for Yang Shuting.
His business grew bigger and bigger, busy with various business negotiations and meetings every day, rarely returning home.
And Yang Shuting completely let herself go.
A poor girl from the countryside, suddenly entering a beautiful dream world, she completely lost herself.
If things had stopped at this point, Chen Fan could still tolerate it.
He didn't mind her vanity, love for comparison, spending money like water, and constantly attending various parties and cocktails.
He had never considered divorce.
Until a private detective placed a stack of photos in front of Chen Fan.
The photos showed Yang Shuting dancing with a group of shirtless men at a party, and of course, there were more eye-catching scenes.
At this point, Chen Fan was completely disappointed in this woman.
Divorce.
Although Chen Fan had signed a prenuptial agreement before marriage.
But he didn't want to be ruthless, and in the end, he softened and gave her 10 million yuan, enough for her to live on for the rest of her life.
However, this woman was insatiable, during the divorce, she tried every means to amass wealth for herself.
Later, Chen Fan was diagnosed with a terminal illness.
So he completely lost hope in life and began to indulge, living in a drunken stupor every day.
Until the last moment of his life, Yang Shuting, his ex-wife, was still relentlessly trying various methods to sue Chen Fan.
"Boss, we're here."
Interrupted by Feng Pojun's words, Chen Fan looked up at the window and got out of the car.
"Boss, are you alright?"
Seemingly noticing Chen Fan's unusual behavior, Feng Pojun asked with concern.
Chen Fan shook his head, "It's nothing."
"Help me take the things upstairs."
"Okay."
Going upstairs, entering the house, Feng Pojun put away the things, placing all the bought vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator.
After tidying up, he turned to bid farewell to Chen Fan.
"Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll head down first."
Chen Fan nodded: "I'm not going out today, you go back and prepare the bodyguard matter first."
"Alright."
"Old Feng!"
As Feng Pojun reached the door, Chen Fan suddenly called out.
Feng Pojun turned around: "Boss, any other instructions?"
Chen Fan opened his mouth, but finally shook his head.
"Never mind. It's nothing. You can go."
"Yes."
Watching Feng Pojun leave, Chen Fan sat on the sofa expressionless.
Originally, he had a fire burning in his heart, wanting to ask Feng Pojun to investigate Yang Shuting's information.
But when the words reached his lips, he ultimately didn't say them.
Did he hate Yang Shuting?
Yes.
But that was all in the previous life.
In this life, he had no interaction with Yang Shuting.
Moreover, in this life, he had Ruochu by his side, everything was perfect.
Of course, another thought that made Chen Fan let go of his desire for revenge was:
Does this life's Yang Shuting need to suffer for the Yang Shuting of the previous life?
If she hadn't met him.
She would still be that simple and kind hotel waitress.
Since that's the case.
Why bother clinging to the hatred of the previous life.
Let it all go with the wind.
Chen Fan shook his head, no longer thinking about this matter.
Letting go of resentment, complete freedom.
Chen Fan felt that as he let go of this hatred from his previous life, he had completely settled accounts with his past life.
From now on, he was just the Chen Fan of this world.
Little did he know that sometimes fate, often when you're completely unprepared, plays a big joke on you.
Of course, that's a story for later.
Whether it was fear of public opinion or not, anyway, during these few days when Chen Fan was not in Yunhai, the Zhao family remained calm and took no action.
Feng Pojun moved quickly, calling Chen Fan the next day at noon to say he had already selected two candidates.
After all, they were to be sent to Beijing to protect Su Ruochu, Chen Fan had to see them personally to be at ease.
"Boss, shall I bring them over?"
"No need, I'll take a taxi to the club myself. I have something to discuss with Manager Ding anyway."
Chen Fan went downstairs and hailed a taxi to the club.
Getting off at the club entrance, Chen Fan walked inside.
Glancing around, he noticed two security guards hiding in the corner of the outer wall smoking.
Chen Fan frowned, initially wanting to go over and reprimand them, but after a thought, he held back.
During this time, Feng Pojun had been driving for him and wasn't at the club, it seemed the security department needed some reorganization.
With these thoughts in his mind, just as he entered the club interior, a woman wearing a super short skirt and low-cut top, dressed very provocatively, approached him.
"Sir, do you need a play companion?"
Chen Fan was stunned.
"Play companion? What do you mean?"
The girl secretly looked around, then smiled coyly at Chen Fan.
"Sir, you're such a joker, don't you understand this?"
"A play companion is of course to be your female companion, to accompany you exercising in the club."
"Exercising alone is so boring, it's much better with a beautiful woman accompanying you."
"As the saying goes, men and women paired together, work is not tiring, don't you think?"
Chen Fan: "..."
Well, well.
He hadn't been to the club for a while, had they developed a new business?
