Shi Ran stared into Chu He's eyes, as if he wanted to see into Chu He's heart.

"If I say yes, can't I?"

Chu He also stared at Shi Ran's eyes, but his eyes were a little cold. After staring for a while, he sneered, "You don't want to create some substitute literature for me, do you?"

"What stand-in literature?" Shi Ran didn't understand.

Chu He took out a few paper towels, wiped the dust-free tabletop, rolled the paper towels into a ball, threw them aside, supported the table with one hand, stared at Shi Ran's face, and spoke word by word.

"I'm not Chu Hanliang!"

Shi Ran was shocked and took a step back, "You...what do you know?"

Chu He snorted softly, "I don't know anything! I just know what I should know, and I probably know a little bit about it! Do you really think that you know everything about me, but I know nothing about you?"

Chu He leaned forward and approached Shi Ran, "Don't use your love for me as an excuse! Let people think that you are with me because you are passionate about me! I have never exposed you because you are a woman with a reputation." It’s for my own sake that I show mercy to you.”

Shi Ran bit his lip, "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"It is said that you and Chu Hanliang were short of meeting your parents at that time! He suddenly died abroad, so you didn't marry him." Chu He stood up straight, with a tall figure, handsome and elegant, and looked harmless. The words that came out of his mouth made Shi Ran feel like he was hit hard.

"There's just one thing I can't figure out. If Chu Hanliang loved you very much, why didn't he take you with him when he went abroad? Instead, he left you alone in the country?"

"Also, when he was in China, there was no news about Chu Lichuan's enlistment in the army in those years. He was very successful in the Chu Group, and everyone said that he was the next generation successor! At that time, he had many opportunities to take you to meet your parents and finalize your decision. Why has the marriage been postponed until the end with no result?"

"He is... he is afraid of incriminating me! He wants everything to be settled before he announces my identity!" Shi Ran shouted loudly, not knowing what he wanted to prove.

Staring at Chu He with red eyes, "My relationship with him is very pure! There is no interest involved! I was just an ordinary college student at the time, and I had no value to him that could be exploited!"

"You can belittle me and ridicule me! But you can't tarnish his feelings for me!"

Chu He pursed his lips and smiled, poured a glass of water, leaned on the table, and drank slowly.

Shi Ran gasped and realized that he was so stimulated by Chuhe that he couldn't help himself.

He looked horrified and his lips trembled, "You...you deceived me!"

"It's not like you have something in your heart!" Chu He put down the water glass and stretched, "My father has been indecisive and romantic all his life! He seems to be easy to get along with and has a kind heart. He has supported many college students in his life. He did a lot of good deeds.”

"If my father knows that you are with me not only because you repay your kindness, but also because you once loved Chu Hanliang deeply, do you think he can still stand by and watch you knowing that you are colluding with Chu Lianhai?"

"You threaten me!" Shi Ran raised his voice, sharp and harsh.

Chu He shook his head, "We've known each other for so long, what's not a threat? I'm just telling you about your current situation! Between us, it's best to turn a blind eye to each other and don't take it too seriously! What do you do? I don’t care, and you don’t care what I do. We all keep the boundaries that we should keep, and no one should cross them.”

Shi Ran brushed his long hair, "It turns out that you never thought of revenge on Chu Lichuan from the beginning! You said you hated the Chu family, your father, and Chu Lichuan. You lied to me!"

Chu He put down the water glass, tapped the rim lightly, and said nothing.

"What do you mean by taking down Chi Enning and using her to make Chu Lichuan miserable, but what happened in the end? Aren't you soft-hearted? No wonder you ruined your planned plans time and time again!"

Shi Ran approached Chu He step by step, "Tell me the truth, do you not want to hurt Chu Lichuan, or do you not want to hurt Chi Enning? You don't really have feelings for Chi Enning, right? Or are you all lying? Mine! You never thought about revenge from the beginning!"

"The mercy you showed Chi Enning was a smoke bomb you sent to me to deliberately confuse me?"

Chu He still didn't speak.

He did want to take revenge at first, and approaching Chi Enning was intentional, but when he saw Chi Enning standing under the cherry blossom tree, smiling peacefully and beautifully, he suddenly couldn't bear it.

Will he have true feelings for Chi Enning?

Maybe his heart was moved for a moment, but he restrained himself.

I just think that Chi Enning is very cute and friendly. When you are with her, you don't have to pretend to be, you can show the truest version of him, which is very comfortable and comfortable.

He has been living in a disguised mask since he was a child.

In front of his mother, he is an obedient and sensible eldest son; in front of his father, he is a top student who always thinks about his father, is considerate, has excellent grades, and does not need to worry about his parents.

In front of the Chu family, he was a weak and bullied little sheep, trying to minimize his presence.

In front of the people in the company, he is a good leader who is kind and considerate to his employees.

In front of his friends, he is an illegitimate son who is not recognized by his family, but a successful person who survives tenaciously.

He kept switching between these personas. Sometimes, he forgot his original appearance and didn't know which one was his real self.

Chu He chuckled, "People are complicated. Many people think this way one second and change their minds the next!"

Chu He overturned the water glass and let the water in the glass spill along the table and onto the floor.

"So you are treating Su Ya on purpose now? In fact, you don't like Su Ya at all and have no interest in her! You just want to go around with me!" Shi Ran said.

Chu He looked at the water drops dripping down from the table. He was silent for a long time and then suddenly asked.

"Did something happen to my mother and Xiaoshan?"

Shi Ran trembled and evaded, "How do I know? I haven't contacted them."

Chu He raised his eyes with sharp eyes, "I hope you tell the truth! What we are planning has nothing to do with them! They should not be involved."

Shi Ran clenched his fists and still said he didn't know.

She will not betray Chu Lianhai. Even if she has feelings for Chu He, she will not betray the person she once loved deeply.

Seeing Shi Ran's persistence, Chu He was unsure for a moment whether something had happened to Miao Yajie and Chu Shan.

They updated their WeChat Moments last night and posted pictures of the scenery during the trip. Maybe he was overthinking it, right?

When Shi Ran went out, he saw Su Ya standing on the side outside the courtyard gate, silent and like a lingering shadow, which made Shi Ran very angry.

"Why are you still here? Don't be pretentious! How could he like you? He just told me that he was just playing with you, joking, and relieving boredom. I didn't expect you to take it seriously."

Su Ya's expression did not change at all, and she listened quietly to Shi Ran's vent.

She stayed for no other reason than to see what Shi Ran and Chu He were doing.

Chu He has his own plans, and Su Ya also has her own thoughts.

If BOSS really had no blood or affection for Chu He, he would not have allowed her to take care of Chu He in the hospital.

If Chu He continues to target the BOSS in the future, making them incompetent, it is better to try to impress Chu He and turn the threat into an ally, as En Ning said.

Even if we cannot become allies, it is still good to not invade each other.

"A woman should save her face! Leave immediately and don't come back again!" Shi Ran said angrily.

In the room, there was a loud sound of things being smashed.

Shi Ran and Su Ya were both startled and hurried into the house.
