Observing celestial phenomena, she was struck by lightning.
Perhaps there is no one more unlucky than Jiang Ran, a grandmaster of the mysterious gates.
Just after traveling through time...
Chapter 237 Show Mercy
"Madam, where are we going?" The driver usually waited near the kindergarten, but today there was Jiang Ran to take care of, and there were still six or seven hours until school let out, so they definitely couldn't wait at the school gate.
"Go to the old house!" With the two children not around, Jiang Ran didn't even glance at the wheelchair. She relied on Zi Su's help to get back to the car. As soon as she got in, Jiang Ran's gaze turned cold, completely different from how she had acted in front of Si Zuochen and Si Youlin.
Zisu noticed the low mood emanating from Jiang Ran and assumed it was because she was angry about what had just happened. After thinking for a moment, she brought Jiang Ran a cup of hot tea: "Young Madam, you were already very lenient just now. If the young master were here, those two people probably wouldn't have seen the sun tomorrow."
"Is that so?" Jiang Ran sneered.
What they could see with their own eyes was that the two thugs were injured and beaten up by the bodyguards. But what they couldn't see was that they would have no good luck in the next month. Before leaving, Jiang Ran used her limited spiritual energy to leave a mark on them. Presumably, their lives in the next month would be very "exciting"!
Zisu was startled by the expression on Jiang Ran's face. Just now, Jiang Ran's expression gave her a feeling of seeing Si Yanxiao.
Jiang Ran fell silent and fell into deep thought.
Old Master Si's health is now at its limit. In the past few years, if it weren't for Old Master Si's help, both overt and covert, the original owner would probably have died countless times, not to mention squandering his vast fortune.
Even after being reborn, it was only because of the care and attention of Old Master Si that she was able to live so well and regain the affection of her two children.
It's not just because of that; Grandpa Si's love for the two children comes from the bottom of his heart and from the very core of his being. The two children are still so young, and Jiang Ran doesn't want them to be sad.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran became even more determined to defy fate and change Master Si's destiny!
When we arrived at the Si family's old residence, Old Master Si was drinking tea in the tea room.
As Jiang Ran approached the tea room, she saw Old Master Si sitting at the head of the table, with another person seated below him. Old Master Si's attire was also different from usual; he was dressed very formally today, in a dark Zhongshan suit, his hair neatly combed, and even the antique trinkets he usually played with were gone.
This shows that today's guests are very important!
"Uncle Chen, since Father is receiving guests, I won't go over," Jiang Ran said, backing down.
Just then, Old Master Si saw Jiang Ran's figure and the wheelchair she was sitting in. He hurriedly stood up and walked towards the door.
"What happened? Are you injured? Why didn't anyone tell me?" Old Master Si asked three questions in a row, his words filled with deep concern, which made Jiang Ran even more determined to change Old Master Si's fate.
Neither the original owner nor the current Jiang Ran has much family affection. The original owner was cursed with death because she was unlucky and brought death to many people. Only her older brother, Jiang Yuechen, still cares for and loves her.
So when Grandpa Si showed her concern, she experienced what fatherly love was like for the first time.
"I'm sorry to have worried you. I sprained my ankle a little while ago. I thought it was nothing serious, but it just hasn't gotten better yet. I didn't want to use a wheelchair, but everyone was making a big fuss about it!" Jiang Ran explained simply.
With Jiang Ran confirmed to be unharmed, Old Master Si breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why did you come today?" Except for yesterday, Jiang Ran would always give advance notice or bring her two children whenever she came. This was the first time she had come alone without prior notice.
Jiang Ran's face remained expressionless as she calmly took out the talismans she had prepared from her pocket: "I just came to give you some talismans. These have been blessed and can ensure your safety and prolong your life!"
Old Master Si couldn't say he didn't believe it, but he didn't completely believe it either. However, thinking that it was Jiang Ran's heartfelt wish, he smiled and asked the butler to put it away.
"Okay, then I'll put it away."
"Yes, please continue with your work. I'll take my leave now."
Jiang Ran gave Zisu a look, and the two of them quickly retreated.
Meanwhile, Si Yanxiao's meeting at the company also entered a heated phase.
Si Yanxiao shook his head: "Chen Fei and A Yu are currently in control of the overseas market, so there's no need to speculate further."
"However..." Si Yanxiao's tone shifted, "Are you sure you've prepared for the domestic market? Half the year has already passed; how many percentage points has the market value increased compared to last year?"
To be honest, Si Yanxiao's abilities are truly extraordinary!
Si Yanxiao only glanced at the annual reports and market research submitted by the marketing department, and immediately pointed out everyone's problems, which was truly incisive.
When the lower-level employees met Si Yanxiao, they didn't complain much; on the contrary, they praised him a lot. For example, they said he was handsome, rich, powerful, and very generous to his employees. It could be said that among all companies in China, Si's Enterprise had the best welfare benefits.
However, the middle and upper-level employees both loved and feared Si Yanxiao.
If you have the ability, the salary and benefits are quite good. However, if you are not quite right in the first place, or if you are not particularly capable, you will be like a mouse in front of a cat when you see Si Yanxiao.
Si Jiliang sat quietly to the side, as if what had just been said had nothing to do with him, but if you looked closely, you would notice that the pen in his hand had been bent.
Even the back of my head, which was leaning back in the chair, was tense.
Si Yanxiao glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, but didn't give him any extra expression.
Everyone present knew that Si Yanxiao's words were directed at Si Jiliang. For the past few years, Si Yanxiao had been in a coma, and the company had been managed by Si Jiliang, who had placed many people in the company and won over many hearts.
However, the most difficult thing to understand in the world is human nature. These people can be bought off by Si Jiliang for their own interests, and they can also be influenced by Si Yanxiao in their judgment.
We looked at each other, neither daring to be the first to speak, afraid of being the first to speak out and getting ourselves into trouble.
Of course, there are also some who value money more than their lives.
After receiving Si Jiliang's signal, a man casually wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a forced smile, "The domestic market has always been handled by Assistant Gu. Assistant Gu, shouldn't you give President Si an explanation for this matter, and also give us an explanation?"
Gu Nan slightly raised her eyes, glanced in the direction of the man who spoke, and a cold smile appeared on her lips: "Give you an explanation? Ha, who do you think you are!"
After speaking, Gu Nan took out the documents she had prepared earlier. "President, this is a list of Manager Deng's contributions to the company in recent years. Two years ago, during the bidding for Xin'an Road, he accepted one million from the competitor and leaked our low price. Last year, when the company launched a new product, he sold our launch date to a gossip reporter ahead of time. If it weren't for the turmoil in the overseas market at the time, which forced us to terminate the launch of the new product, I'm afraid our stock would not only not have risen on the launch day, but it might have even hit the daily limit down!"
As Gu Nan spoke, one document after another was thrown onto the table. Looking at the documents on the table, which were taller than a water glass, Si Yanxiao's face turned cold.
The man who had spoken earlier, Manager Deng, also went limp and collapsed to the ground.
She looked at Si Jiliang with pleading eyes, hoping he could save her life, but every document on the table had a receipt, leaving Si Jiliang helpless.
Another man, who had worked with Manager Deng at the same time, clenched his fist slightly. "Assistant Gu, these things are all in the past. Do you have any evidence?"
Upon hearing the word "evidence," Manager Deng's eyes lit up, and he struggled to sit up. Although his previous behavior had been a clear case of trying to cover something up, he suddenly felt a renewed sense of hope, and he felt a surge of strength within him.
"evidence?"
"Yes, what evidence do you have?"
Si Jiliang sat next to Si Yanxiao, and he could already feel the oppressive atmosphere emanating from Si Yanxiao.
Seeing his incompetent teammates constantly provoking Si Yanxiao, Si Jiliang wanted to slap each of them across the face.
"Anan, notify the police station and let them see the evidence in prison!" Si Yanxiao clearly didn't want to continue with them and spoke directly.
