Chapter 237 Things gained through deception will never last.

Su Anran subconsciously looked at Jiang Ruan, whose expression remained unchanged.

She was unwilling to accept it.

I disagree!

Why does she always win? Why does she get everyone's protection?

"I'll pay more, any amount will do." She hardened her heart, her gaze still fixed on Jiang Ruan. "Just help me tie her up and make sure she can't move!"

The two burly men glanced at Mo Mo, who was fighting fiercely, and then at Su Anran, who seemed to have nothing but hatred in her heart. In the end, they did not agree to her request: "Find someone else."

They're not stupid.

The two newcomers are clearly of higher status.

Although the employer is quite wealthy, it seems to be just jealousy and hatred between women. It's not worth risking your life and committing crimes for something like this.

"You guys!" Su Anran had no choice but to be angry.

"Mo Mo, let's go." Jiang Ruan didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Don't leave!" Su Anran rushed forward to stop her, her eyes burning with a flame more intense than ever before. "Don't even think about leaving until you call Huo Zhizhou and ask him to let bygones be bygones."

Once she leaves, she will have no leverage over her.

It's easy to imagine what awaited her next.

Jiang Ruan glanced at her indifferently and continued walking forward.

"Bang! I said you're not allowed to leave!" Su Anran grabbed a cup, smashed it, and pointed the sharp edge at her. "If you take another step forward, I'll..."

"Clang!"

Before he could finish speaking, the cup in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Mo Mo swiftly grabbed her wrist and twisted it behind her back.

Su Anran cried out in pain, "Ah!"

"Everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes," Jiang Ruan told her. "You should have known this day would come sooner or later from the day you impersonated someone else."

"What did I do wrong?" Su Anran covered her hands, unable to control her emotions. "Is it wrong for me to want to climb up the social ladder and live a good life?"

"You live in a wealthy circle, with no worries about food or clothing, loved by your parents, and have everything you want."

"And me? I have nothing."

“I was disliked from birth because I was a girl and couldn’t help her fight for power. Whenever I did something that didn’t go my way, they would beat or scold me.”

"I want to escape that family, I want to leave that life behind, I want to live a better life than someone like you who has such a sense of superiority! What did I do wrong? Where did I go wrong!"

Su Anran became more and more excited as she spoke.

The thought of losing Huo Zhizhou's protection and returning to her old life was unbearable for her.

After graduating from university, she inquired everywhere about which wealthy young men had been rescued from drowning as children, hoping to use this to live a comfortable life.

But what about now?

Because of Jiang Ruan, everything is gone!

“It’s understandable that you want to leave that kind of life.” Jiang Ruan couldn’t feel any pity for her, “but you shouldn’t deceive people for your own selfish desires. Things gained through deception will never last.”

Su Anran sneered: "It's always like this."

Jiang Ruan frowned slightly.

Su Anran no longer concealed her disgust for Jiang Ruan: "It's easy for you to talk when you're not in my shoes. If you were in my situation, you might not be any better off than me. You might even be more despicable, shameless, and unscrupulous!"

"Perhaps so. Take care of yourself." Jiang Ruan said these words and left without arguing with her anymore.

You can't truly empathize with someone else's life.

Different upbringings and different educations lead to many differences.

Perhaps, as Su Anran said, she couldn't possibly live a better life than her in that environment, but she would strive to live a better life and leave that suffocating family instead of taking this improper and crooked path.

Su Anran watched Jiang Ruan leave, her emotions reaching a breaking point: "Ah!"

She swept all the glassware on the table to the ground.

His face was full of madness.

Jiang Ruan heard the noise but ignored it. She handed her coat to Mo Mo and got into the car.

"How is it?" Su Zhu asked her after she came in and sat down.

“Just as we guessed,” Jiang Ruan replied, “They were driven to extremes by desperation.”

Su Zhu asked, "Then why didn't you call me?"

Jiang Ruan glanced at Mo Mo in the driver's seat: "Mo Mo took care of it."

Su Zhu: "How many?"

Jiang Ruan: "Four."

Su Zhu: "???"

Su Zhu was somewhat surprised: "Your bodyguards are something else. Not only are they good-looking, but they can also fight. Where did you hire them? I'd like to hire a bunch of them too."

"It's the individual who's excellent, not the company," Mo Mo said seriously as he drove. "Don't be fooled."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Su Zhu: "..."

After the brief farce, Jiang Ruan, thinking about Su Anran's mental state just now, called Jiang An and told her to be as careful as possible today, in case Su Anran felt the urge to retaliate and came looking for her place.

“Young Miss,” Mo Mo spoke up at the right moment, her tone as always, “Although the other guy isn’t as good-looking as me, and his skills and brains aren’t as good, you can rest assured that you can entrust the young master and madam to his protection.”

Jiang Ruan looked up at him.

Mo Mo continued, "He's the perfect example of someone who's ruthless and doesn't talk much."

"So you asked me to fire him before?" Jiang Ruan recalled the scene after the interview when he kept both of them on the job and this guy strongly recommended her.

“I didn’t know you needed a bodyguard before,” Mo Mo replied very seriously. “Just for protecting the family, I’m worth ten of them.”

Jiang Ruan consciously refrained from responding.

Mo Mo is good at everything, except that she is too confident. But this confidence doesn't feel fake; it's more like she's joking.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Ruan and Su Zhu headed to the banquet hotel.

The hotel is situated atop a mountain, surrounded by a wide meadow. The lawn outside was decorated very elaborately for the banquet being held.

Just as Jiang Ruan and Su Zhu were about to arrive, more than a dozen top-of-the-line Rolls-Royces suddenly appeared in front of them, followed by more than a dozen limited-edition Maybachs.

"This is the first time I've been in such an awkward position." Su Zhu glanced around and then gossiped with Jiang Ruan, "If we hadn't made enemies here, I would have suspected that these two groups were doing it on purpose."

Two limited-edition, top-of-the-line luxury cars sandwiched the Bentley between them.

That's really...strange.

“They did it on purpose,” Mo Mo said.

Jiang Ruan asked, "What do you mean?"

Mo Mo was very meticulous about these things: "When I made the last turn, I vaguely saw a row of cars parked with their hazard lights on in front of us. When we arrived, they all started up and drove away."

"It's also possible that they think you're not a good driver and are afraid you'll scratch them," Su Zhu said in a serious but nonsensical way.

"You can doubt my character, but you can't doubt my driving skills." Mo Mo was serious.

Su Zhu smiled but didn't say anything more.

We arrived at our destination shortly afterward.

The doors of more than ten Rolls-Royces in front were opened, and the bodyguards who got out stood in two neat rows on the road leading to the hotel.

Jiang Ruan thought they were welcoming some important person and was about to ask Mo Mo to find a place to stop when a young man got out of the second Rolls-Royce and walked towards her.

The next second.

There was a knock on her car door, and Qin Jiangye, dressed in a well-tailored suit, stood at the door: "Little cousin, please."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Su Zhu: "!!!"

Su Zhu asked tentatively through the half-lowered car window, "Is this for Ruan Ruan?"
