She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1465: Chapter 1535: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Sheng Ning stared intently at everything in front of her, curious about it. Today, she would finally find out.

“It matters because after your disappearance, Meng Fan went mad searching for you for half a year. The only person he wished to see before he died was you.”

From the day she left to Meng Fan’s death, for two and a half years, Meng Fan never forgot her for even a single day.

Gu Yunbo froze, standing helplessly in place, completely disoriented. It felt as though a piece of her heart had been ripped out, leaving a hollow pain.

Tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably, instantly reddening her eyes.

She painfully covered her mouth, struggling to suppress the sound of her crying, and turned to dash across the street opposite.

Sheng Ning wanted to chase after her, but Xu Qigang stopped her, “It’s okay, someone has already gone after her. Don’t worry.”

“But…” This was the first time she had seen the strong Gu Yunbo show such a broken expression.

“She and Meng Fan…” Xu Qigang sighed. “Better not to say.” He bent down and gently kissed Sheng Ning’s forehead.

“Be good, remember to stay safe at tomorrow’s auction, I’ll be there too.”

“Alright!”

Feng Manor

Feng Xintong returned from school nearly exploding with anger. She had never encountered something so embarrassing and passive from childhood to adulthood. Fortunately, she reacted quickly; if she had been a bit slower, she couldn’t even imagine her own fate.

“What? Were you in a fight today?” Feng Jianxi was sitting on the living room sofa drinking tea when she entered and asked with concern.

Since Feng Zhenzhen’s incident, Feng Jianxi, who always looked down on her before, had drastically changed his attitude toward her.

“No.” Feng Xintong would be an idiot to admit to it.

“Aren’t you busy today? Why aren’t you at the company?”

“Tomorrow is the global art auction, and Housekeeper Xing and Chief Ni are personally responsible for overseeing it, so there’s nothing for me to handle.” He, the fourth young master of the Feng Family, was actually being manipulated by mere servants.

Feng Xintong smiled and sat opposite Feng Jianxi. “Fourth Brother, it’s not just me saying this. Now, it’s not just that the Feng Family has nothing to do with you, but in the future, it’ll be even less related. Housekeeper Xing is Grandpa’s subordinate and should listen to you as the master. Once Sheng Ning becomes the Family Head, the Feng Family will change its surname.”

Feng Jianxi, unfazed, sipped his tea, smiling at Feng Xintong, someone he had never paid attention to, who was always a pushover in the Feng Family. He praised her, “It turns out, you are the smartest in the Feng Family. I really was blind before.”

Feng Zhenzhen was burned, Qin Cuifen was released—these events must have been orchestrated by someone behind the scenes. It wasn’t him; he hadn’t had time to act before someone else moved. This indicated that the opposition was even more ruthless.

People like them most feared encountering someone more ruthless, as it meant bigger trouble. He investigated for a long time afterwards, examining the most suspicious people from before, but none of them turned out to be the culprits.

In the end, he placed his suspicion on Sheng Ning and Grandpa.

He never expected it to be Feng Xintong; the deception was flawless.

“Xintong, you really hide well.” He truly admired her.

“Fourth Brother, you’re not bad either.” Now she urgently needed an ally; only by teaming up with someone could she remain undefeated and realize her ambitions. After considering thoroughly, the most suitable person was Feng Jianxi.

She had observed Feng Jianxi for a long time, and understood him well enough. Although he was courageous and had both intelligence and ruthlessness, his ambitions were too high, which was his weakness.

Having weaknesses is good; it makes it easier to exploit.
