☆, Chapter 232 Leaving Together

Filled with confusion and disappointment, Si Youlin still followed Si Zuochen, with his two bodyguards also leaving closely behind.

The room was suddenly left with only the still somewhat angry Old Master Si, Gu Nan kneeling on the ground with her clothes torn on the back and faint bloodstains, and Jiang Ran and Si Yanxiao standing side by side.

A moment later, the sound of a car starting up was heard, and the butler came in: "The two young masters have been sent back."

Jiang Ran nodded slightly: "Uncle Chen, please bring the medicine box. Gu Nan needs your help to change her medicine."

"Sigh, I'll go right away!" With Grandpa Si's approval, Uncle Chen helped Gu Nan up and left the room, leaving the three of them alone.

Si Yanxiao didn't know why Jiang Ran had said that, and his eyes were filled with doubt. However, Old Master Si's anger subsided considerably because of Jiang Ran's words.

"Leave this matter to me. You've just recovered from a serious illness and your body hasn't fully healed yet, so please rest well!" Jiang Ran said, personally helping Old Master Si to sit in the armchair, and also giving Si Yanxiao a look.

A cup of hot tea was quickly placed in front of him: "Father, please have some tea!"

Although he was still somewhat uneasy, since the child had gone to such lengths, Grandpa Si accepted the tea and took a sip.

"Since you put it that way, then I'll leave this to you. Remember, if you can't resolve this, come to me, and I'll take care of it for you! As long as I'm here, that woman will never set foot in the Si family home!"

When Bai Zhuwei was mentioned, Grandpa Si became a little agitated. Just that one sentence triggered a violent cough. Jiang Ran had no choice but to quickly help Grandpa Si catch his breath. When she reached out, she aggravated the wound on her arm. Ouch!

However, at the moment, Old Master Si was too preoccupied with his own affairs to notice this.

"You should get some rest. Leave this to me. Don't think about so many things."

At this moment, Gu Nan also finished applying the medicine, changed her clothes, and came over.

"Please get some rest. Ah Chen and Ah Lin went back by themselves; I'm a little worried! I'll bring the two children to see you tomorrow."

Jiang Ran's sprained ankle hadn't healed yet, and with her injured arm, her body was really struggling. Just now, when Grandpa Si suddenly coughed, Jiang Ran took a step forward in a hurry and almost fainted. It was only because of her strong willpower that she managed to steady herself.

Si Yanxiao's attention was focused on Old Master Si, so he didn't notice anything unusual about Jiang Ran. It was Gu Nan who noticed Jiang Ran's strange behavior after entering.

"Uncle Chen, please escort Father back to his room to rest," Jiang Ran said gently.

"Young Master, Young Madam, then I won't see you off."

Si Yanxiao, Jiang Ran, and Gu Nan stood side by side, watching Old Master Si return to his room before turning and walking towards the door.

As soon as they stepped out the door, the car was ready. Looking at the bodyguard standing next to the car not far away, Si Yanxiao felt a little dazed, as if this was the least scolding he had ever received.

Gu Nan lagged two steps behind Si Yanxiao and approached Jiang Ran, asking, "Are you alright?"

"Ah, it's nothing!" Jiang Ran smiled calmly.

Si Yanxiao either didn't notice Jiang Ran or was thinking about something, and strode to the car. Gu Nan tried to help Jiang Ran, but was refused.

Considering Jiang Ran's bad foot condition, Gu Nan didn't walk very fast. Si Yanxiao was already in the car when Jiang Ran and Gu Nan had only walked half the distance.

"You..." Why are you so slow? Before he could finish speaking, Si Yanxiao noticed the strange way Jiang Ran was walking. He wanted to ask if she was injured, but the words stuck in his throat. He remained silent until Jiang Ran got into the car. Gu Nan was about to drive away when Si Yanxiao called out to her, "Don't drive yourself, get in the car!"

Gu Nan was surprised for a moment, then, thinking of the injury on her back, she nodded, took the keys out of her pocket, and tossed them to the bodyguard closest to her.

After getting on the bus, Jiang Ran wanted to be proud and ignore Si Yanxiao, but she couldn't resist the spiritual energy emanating from him. Between the spiritual energy and throwing a tantrum, Jiang Ran made the principled choice to restore herself.

Si Yanxiao's gaze was now entirely on Gu Nan. Gu Nan originally wanted to sit in the passenger seat, but Jiang Ran pulled her into the car. "You sit here!" Before Gu Nan could refuse, Jiang Ran moved closer to Si Yanxiao, and now their arms were touching.

"you……"

"If you're going to say thank you, there's no need. I didn't do this for you anyway!"

After being rebuked by Jiang Ran, Si Yanxiao didn't want to pay attention to her anymore and turned his gaze to Gu Nan: "Are you alright?"

"This? It's just a minor injury, nothing serious," Gu Nan replied gently.

Jiang Ran rolled her eyes, which was noticed by Si Yanxiao. "What's with that expression?"

"It's none of your business!" "Jiang Ran, you!"

"What happened to me? I didn't hurt you. You think you're really okay just because of your 'Painless Divine Silver' greeting?"

"You..." Si Yanxiao was furious with Jiang Ran. When did he say that Gu Nan's injury was fine? Besides, Gu Nan was injured, what business was it of hers!

"Ayan!" Gu Nan's voice successfully extinguished the flames between the two. "Ayan, my injury is really nothing compared to hers."

"What?"

"Jiang Ran is injured, both her feet and arms are injured!" Gu Nan stated her assessment.

Si Yanxiao turned his questioning gaze over, only to receive another eye roll from Jiang Ran.

"You..." Si Yanxiao took two deep breaths before calming himself down. "Jiang Ran, are your arms and legs injured? Are they serious?"

"Heh, he won't die!" Jiang Ran's face was filled with sarcasm.

Such an expression was somewhat jarring, causing Si Yanxiao to feel inexplicably uneasy.

"Is it serious?" Si Yanxiao blurted out subconsciously.

Jiang Ran pouted: "Would you believe me if I said it was serious?"

"Whether it's serious or not, you can't help me bear it, so why bother?"

At this moment, Si Yanxiao thought of the play he had asked Jiang Ran to act out, and also of the two children's previous obstruction...

Silence fell over the car for a moment.

Upon arriving at the villa, Gu Nan broke the silence first: "Ayan, please get a doctor to examine Jiang Ran. I'm going back to the company."

Take care of yourself.

Gu Nan nodded, then gave Jiang Ran a slight nod before instructing the driver to start the car.

Jiang Ran watched the car leave before slowly walking into the villa.

"Why did you help just now?" Si Yanxiao asked, following Jiang Ran.

"What kind of help?"

"Jiang Ran, don't play dumb. You know perfectly well what I'm saying!"

Jiang Ran curled her lip and said casually, "You'd better go check on the two kids. They left in a huff! You're such a bad father!"

After speaking, Jiang Ran was about to leave, but she ignored her foot injury. Although she tried her best to walk, she was not as fast as she had expected.

Si Yanxiao caught up with Jiang Ran in just two steps: "Don't try to change the subject. Why did you help me like that just now? Did you want to...?"

"Are you saying that I helped to atone for my sins? To cover up the fact that I kidnapped Bai Zhuwei?"

Jiang Ran countered with two questions, successfully silencing Si Yanxiao.

However, Si Yanxiao's expression did not change. Jiang Ran noticed small feet by the bushes not far away out of the corner of her eye. Although she did not know if it was one of the twins or both of them, at this moment, Jiang Ran did not want to argue with Si Yanxiao or worry the two children.

He had no choice but to suppress his temper and slowly said, "You can investigate Bai Zhuwei's matter, and you can investigate my visit to the company. Anyway, I am innocent. As for why I should help, the old man has just recovered from a serious illness, and his current physical condition does not allow him to have emotional ups and downs. It would be bad for his health."

"If this trivial matter affects the old man's health, then it would truly be our fault. Besides, the children certainly don't want this matter to affect the old man's health either!"
