CHAPTER 421: CHAPTER 260 SINISTER INTENTIONS_2

...

Press conference.

Zhuang’s Pharmaceutical Factory and Song Pharmaceutical Factory have collaborated to develop a new drug, which, when released, will bring hope to many drug addicts.

Bei Ran has recently been keeping an eye on Zhuang’s Pharmaceutical and the hospital’s movements, including Zhuang Shengxian’s recent situation, of course.

Zhuang’s Pharmaceutical is a global leader in the industry, producing many lifesaving medications.

For this reason, Bei Ran truly admires Zhuang Shengxian.

But why has someone told her, hinting that Zhuang Shengxian might be her father?

Although she doesn’t know the underlying motives, she has a vague feeling that things are not that simple.

As she was thinking this, the phone rang.

It was from Zhuang Shengxian when Bei Ran checked.

"President Zhuang..." Bei Ran responded with a businesslike tone.

Zhuang Shengxian smiled warmly: "Miss Bei, can we have dinner together this evening? Let’s discuss the details of the wedding."

"No problem," Bei Ran prioritized business.

"I’ll come to pick you up now!" Seeing her agreement, Zhuang Shengxian immediately responded happily.

Bei Ran then called Gu Qingchen: "Qingchen, President Zhuang invited me to dinner to discuss their wedding details."

"Baby, I have another meeting. I’ll come pick you up later," Gu Qingchen glanced at his watch.

"You just do your thing!" Bei Ran said: "I’m just letting you know!"

"Good girl!" Gu Qingchen chuckled softly.

...

Restaurant.

Zhuang Shengxian picked up Bei Ran, and they went to the private dining room for their meal.

Bei Ran sat down with composure as Zhuang Shengxian ordered dishes, all of which were favorites of Bei Ran’s late mother, Bei Chan.

Bei Ran fell silent!

No matter how generous and poised a person she was, at this moment, sitting opposite the man who might be her biological father, ordering her deceased mother’s favorite dishes, it still upset her.

"Ranran..." Zhuang Shengxian seemed to sense her thoughts and gently called out, "May I call you that?"

Bei Ran nodded.

"President Zhuang, do you have any suggestions regarding the wedding?" Bei Ran took a deep breath and then steered the conversation back to work.

Naturally, Zhuang Shengxian felt somewhat awkward; his daughter from an old acquaintance had not yet been acknowledged, yet she was planning his wedding.

However, he also worried that if he didn’t ask her out under the pretense of planning the wedding, she wouldn’t be willing to dine with him.

"Does Ning Shuhui have any suggestions?" Zhuang Shengxian asked.

Bei Ran spoke confidently: "Miss Shen suggested to Mrs. Zhuang that her previous wish was to be a flight attendant and to have a wedding on an airplane. What do you think, President Zhuang?"

"No problem," Zhuang Shengxian nodded.

Bei Ran said: "Then it’s decided. I’ll draft a detailed plan and present it to President Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang for review."

"Good!" Zhuang Shengxian looked at her kindly, "Come on, let’s eat. The dishes are getting cold!"

"Please go ahead, President Zhuang," Bei Ran’s tone always amenable, but with a touch of detachment.

Not rejecting is a sign of good manners, and detachment signifies the distance between hearts.

Zhuang Shengxian spent most of the time watching her; Bei Ran ate her meal indifferently, occasionally making some conversation.

Suddenly, the door burst open with a bang.

Ning Shuhui rushed in, picked up a wine glass from the table, and flung the contents at Bei Ran.

Caught off guard, the red wine spilled all over Bei Ran’s hair and clothes.

Zhuang Shengxian got angry and pushed Ning Shuhui aside, "What are you doing?"

Ning Shuhui was also furious, "Shengxian, have you fallen for her? You personally drove to pick her up for dinner and brought her to a private room to drink..."

"Nonsense!" Zhuang Shengxian shouted sternly, and seeing the red wine on Bei Ran’s face and clothes, he handed her a tissue: "I’m sorry, Ranran..."

"You call her Ranran?" Ning Shuhui grew even more vexed and angry; he had never even called her Huixi! "Shengxian, we are already registered as married, I am your wife... How can you be so intimate with another woman? So close!"

"Ning Shuhui, go home right now!" Zhuang Shengxian commanded sternly, "Look what you look like?"

As he spoke, he draped his jacket over Bei Ran.

Seeing this, Ning Shuhui was even more determined to fight with Bei Ran!

Just then, Shen Qingya walked in, pulling Ning Shuhui aside, "Shuhui, calm down, we are in public, how can you behave like this?"

"Qingya, you came..." Ning Shuhui clung to her like a lifeline, "Help me, Shengxian has taken Bei Ran out to dine alone and is being harsh with me..."
