Chapter 280 Matchmaking Team

Seeing this, Si Yanxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and stared at her departing figure with deep eyes until a door blocked his view. Only then did he look away, his eyes flashing with a few mixed dark glints.

What does the development of the Jiang Group have to do with him? For some reason, when he saw Jiang Ran preparing to leave after only a few words, he asked this question as if possessed, just so that he could have a closer conversation.

Thinking of this, Si Yanxiao's eyes narrowed slightly. He suddenly realized his own abnormality, and his brows furrowed as a strange emotion rose in his heart.

Jiang Ran, unaware of Si Yanxiao's current dilemma, went to the small kitchen to make him some nourishing soup.

After all, she did owe him this, so it wasn't unreasonable for her to do what she was supposed to do.

When the maid saw Jiang Ran come down in person, a look of surprise flashed across her face, and then she gave her some pointers.

The news that Jiang Ran personally cooked for Si Yanxiao soon reached the ears of Si Zuochen and Si Youlin.

The two were picking lotus leaves in the back garden when they heard this. They looked at each other, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.

He immediately stopped what he was doing and hurried to the kitchen.

Jiang Ran was about to ladle the soup into a bowl when she saw the two of them coming over. She quickly said, "Quickly try the soup I made and see how it tastes!"

Before Si Zuochen could even speak, Jiang Ran placed the soup in front of them, looking at them expectantly.

With no other option, the two picked up their glasses, took a small sip, and nodded in unison, saying, "It tastes good."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran's eyes lit up. She turned to the maid beside her and instructed, "Take the soup to the master's room."

"Okay," the maid replied, then picked up the soup and went upstairs.

The kitchen was suddenly empty except for the three of them. Si Zuochen and Si Youlin looked at each other, completely puzzled.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ran suddenly underwent such a big change, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Unable to suppress his doubts, Si Youlin asked, "Why did you suddenly think of making soup for Daddy?"

"He broke his arm protecting me, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to make him some soup to help him recover."

Jiang Ran never intended to hide this from the two of them from the beginning. After all, Si Yanxiao was often at home, and they would see each other all the time. Anyone who wasn't blind could see that his hand was wrapped in plaster.

There's no need to hide it and then find other reasons to fabricate stories.

Upon hearing Jiang Ran's explanation, both Si Zuochen and Si Youlin were taken aback. When they went to inquire about Si Yanxiao the day before, the matter of his arm injury was only mentioned in passing.

They only said it was a malicious scheme, but didn't say it was because of Jiang Ran?!

The two instantly realized there was more to the story, and their eyes flashed as they quickly pressed for details.

Jiang Ran led the two to the living room and began to recount the crisis in detail.

After saying that, he added a reminder: "Lu Ziyi is already somewhat ill, so when you go out, be sure to bring bodyguards and don't go out alone."

As Si Zuochen and Si Youlin listened to the perilous situation and Si Yanxiao's appearance at the last minute, their hearts couldn't help but ache with worry, mirroring the dramatic twists and turns of the story.

Although Jiang Ran spoke calmly, one could easily imagine how difficult it would be to fight ten people at once.

Thinking of this, the two felt even more disgusted with Lu Ziyi. Si Zuochen's eyes turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, "How dare he?!"

"Don't let me catch him, or I'll make sure he breaks all four of his limbs and suffers twice the pain!"

Seeing Si Zuochen's indignation, Jiang Ran's eyes flickered slightly, and she said in a low voice to comfort him, "The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it. He won't be able to escape for long."

Not to mention he has an ally here. The only high branch Lu Ziyi can cling to right now is An Li. How could someone like him be willing to give up such a cash cow?

So they don't need to bother searching at all; when the time comes, they can always find some clues by following Anlicia's lead.

"Yes!" Si Zuochen nodded emphatically, a hint of resentment towards Lu Ziyi flashing in his eyes.

After Jiang Ran reminded them to be careful several times, they finally turned and left.

Si Youlin followed closely beside Si Zuochen, his eyes flashing slightly, a strange look crossing his face, and asked softly, "Daddy didn't tell us such details back then!"

Si Zuochen pursed his lips slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face. His eyes flickered, and he replied in a low voice, "No wonder Uncle has reconsidered the relationship between the two of them."

Upon hearing this, Si Youlin's face showed a hint of confusion. Before he could ask, Si Zuochen continued, "Daddy deliberately kept it from us because he didn't want us to worry."

"He usually doesn't meddle in other people's business, but when he heard that Jiang Ran was in danger, he went there alone, which can be considered a statement."

"Thinking about it carefully, even without Bai Zhuwei, Daddy and Jiang Ran's relationship during this period was quite harmonious."

"Jiang Ran has indeed changed somewhat, and it's quite possible that..."

Before he could finish speaking, Si Youlin instantly understood his meaning, and his eyes suddenly lit up. The reason they hadn't sided with either of them before was because Si Yanxiao was too biased, and they harbored resentment. Now that both of them seemed inclined to reconcile, they might as well go with the flow.

As long as Jiang Ran's attitude is clear, what does Bai Zhuwei matter to them? They won't even give her a second thought!

With that in mind, the two decided to take the opportunity to discuss their goal and make it their mission to push things along and try to get Bai Zhuwei out of the game during this time.

Over the next period of time, they reached a consensus with Jiang Yuechen and decided to purposefully bring the two together.

All of this happened without Jiang Ran and Si Yanxiao being aware of it.

Si Yanxiao was always reserved, but ever since he changed his opinion of Jiang Ran, he began to show his favor. His gaze would unconsciously fall on her, and he would carefully observe her every move, and his emotions would be affected accordingly.

After he suddenly realized this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of annoyance flashed across his face. He then began to distance himself from Jiang Ran, trying to give himself some time to calm his emotions.

Jiang Ran, unaware of his unusual behavior, continued to inquire about his illness and prepare soup as usual.

As bystanders, Si Zuochen and Si Youlin vaguely sensed that their father was not as familiar as usual. They exchanged a glance, a hint of certainty flashing in each other's eyes, and then made an excuse to leave and went to find the butler.

“From now on, you can entrust Jiang Ran with all the daily chores related to Daddy,” Si Zuochen said in a low voice, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Upon hearing this, the butler's face immediately showed a look of surprise, as if he didn't understand.

Si Zuochen didn't say it directly, but a hint of sarcasm flashed across his face.

After a moment's hesitation, the butler instantly understood the deeper meaning behind his words and replied repeatedly, "Okay."

After all, the old man's wish was for the two of them to be together, which they were happy to see, so naturally they wouldn't refuse.

As Jiang Ran approached from outside, Si Zuochen gently nudged the butler. The butler immediately understood, stepped forward slowly, and said softly, "Madam, the master hasn't taken his medicine today, you see..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran's eyes flashed, but she didn't suspect anything and quickly said, "Just give me the medicine."

The butler handed the medicine to Jiang Ran, then casually added, "Master doesn't allow outsiders to get close, and lately he's been complaining about how clumsy I am. I'm really worried about his health..."

He paused slightly as he spoke.

Jiang Ran listened, her eyes slightly lowered, vaguely sensing that he had another reason for saying this. Her brows furrowed slightly, but she did not ask any further questions and simply replied, "I will take care of things during this period."

Normally, she would have retorted with a "What's it to me?" but this time she was in the wrong and could only go along with it.

The butler's eyes lit up as he listened, and he immediately gave Si Zuochen and Si Youlin an OK sign.

Si Yanxiao was resting with his eyes closed when a sudden knock on the door startled him. A look of annoyance flashed across his face, and he asked in a cold voice, "Who is it?"

Jiang Ran pushed open the door and entered, slowly peeking out, and softly replied, "It's me."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Si Yanxiao's expression changed instantly, softening slightly and losing its previous coldness.

Jiang Ran walked slowly closer, keenly sensing the sharp tone in his voice just now. She pursed her lips slightly and tentatively asked, "Did I wake you up?"

"No." Si Yanxiao lowered his eyelids slightly and slowly explained, "I just closed my eyes to rest because I had been looking at the documents for a while."

As he spoke, fearing that Jiang Ran might not believe him, he added, "I haven't been resting, so I won't disturb you."
