[BL] When a Master of Metaphysics Marries into a Wealthy Family | ✓

Chapter 137

"Master Shen, it was Zhang Fan who came up with the plan to drug Zhang Zhiru. It has nothing to do with me!" Ouyang Yi cried as she defended herself. "You must have figured it out, right? Please don't blame me..."

Shen Ye couldn't be bothered to deal with her and turned to Zhang Fan with a smile. "Your precious mistress is blaming everything on you. What do you think?"

Zhang Fan was indeed furious. Although he came up with the plan to drug her, he wouldn't have laid a hand on his own daughter if Ouyang Yi hadn't suggested getting rid of Zhang Zhiru.

He slapped Ouyang Yi's face. "Wretched woman!"

Ouyang Yi, who was charming and had become a top actress at a young age, loved and doted upon by Zhang Fan, couldn't bear it when he suddenly slapped her, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhang Zhiru sneered on the side. "If she used this acting talent in a TV drama, she would definitely win an award, and no one would criticize her."

Ouyang Yi was furious. She knew that netizens criticized her as unworthy of awards and mocked her acting skills. She had been angry for several days because of that. Now, Zhang Zhiru was mocking her acting skills right in front of her, and she wished she could tear Zhang Zhiru's face apart!

But Zhang Zhiru had Shen Ye backing her up, so she could only swallow her anger.

"Father Zhang, you said you love me the most. How could you hurt me for Zhang Zhiru..." Ouyang Yi grabbed Zhang Fan's arm, coquettishly pleading.

Zhang Zhiru: "...Did you just call Zhang Fan 'Father'?!"

Thinking about the relationship between these two, she felt nauseous.

Shen Ye and the others were disgusted as well.

In fact, this was just a private nickname Ouyang Yi and Zhang Fan used to gross out Zhang Zhiru. Ouyang Yi deliberately used this name in front of everyone to make Zhang Zhiru feel disgusted.

Zhang Fan felt extremely embarrassed and slapped Ouyang Yi's face again. "Shut up!"

Ouyang Yi cried even louder.

Zhang Fan impatiently ordered the bodyguards, "Shut her mouth!"

He did love Ouyang Yi, but now he was facing Shen Ye, who had Ye Ze and the Ye family behind him. His mind was filled with thoughts of how to deal with Shen Ye, so he had no intention of comforting Ouyang Yi.

Soon, Ouyang Yi fell silent.

Zhang Fan looked at Shen Ye and cautiously said, "Master Shen, there is a misunderstanding here. I was just scaring Xiao Ru. I didn't really intend to harm her... You should know that I have always loved Xiao Ru. How could I ever drug her..."

Shen Ye raised an eyebrow. "Do you take me for a fool?"

Zhang Fan was sweating on his forehead from anxiety.

If Shen Ye intervened in this matter, he would have no way out.

Zhang Zhiru suspected him of money laundering, and he was indeed involved in money laundering with a vast network of interests. If any leaks occurred on his side, those people would not save him but would push him out...

"Xiao Ru, I am your biological father. Can you really watch me go down like this?" Zhang Fan knew he couldn't hide his actions from Shen Ye. He stopped making up stories and played the emotional card with Zhang Zhiru. "The things I have done would either result in a life sentence or the death penalty... Can you really bear to see me in trouble?"

Zhang Zhiru's face changed. "What kind of outrageous things have you done that would warrant a life sentence or the death penalty?"

She didn't understand the law very well, but she had heard that even some murderers didn't receive the death penalty... What terrible things had Zhang Fan done?
