Chapter 249 Significant Difference in Status

It's all because of this woman that Brother Huo Ran has been so heartless towards her. She must find a way to get rid of this woman when she gets back.

She glared fiercely at Jiang Mi, and finally turned and left with great resentment. She would never forget the humiliation she had suffered today.

"Who is this woman?" Jiang Mi asked after she left. She had a feeling that this woman would definitely come after her later, and she didn't know if she was of high status. Even with the help of the system, Jiang Mi might not be able to deal with such a person.

"The prime minister's only daughter is used to being spoiled and lawless. You don't need to worry. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to bully you."

That's what she said, but Jiang Mi still couldn't help but worry. She wasn't afraid of what might happen to her, but she was afraid of implicating her family.

"She is the prime minister's daughter, yet she favors you so much. Huo Ran, who are you?" Jiang Mi originally wanted to ask her another time, but after what happened today, if she continued to be so ignorant, she might not even know how she died.

"I..." Huo Ran paused, looking into Jiang Mi's eyes, and said gently, "I am the son of the Prince of Ning, Honey. No matter what my identity is, my feelings for you will always be the same. Our relationship will never change. You can believe me."

Jiang Mi wanted to believe him, but she was in a state of confusion, especially after what happened with Liu Zijun. Although she guessed that Huo Ran's status was not low, Jiang Mi still found it hard to accept. Perhaps it was because of what Liu Zijun had done that she felt very uncomfortable.

"I don't know, I need to think about it some more. My mind is very confused right now. Let me go back and calm down."

Huo Ran panicked when he heard Jiang Mi say that. His expression became obviously flustered: "Honey, there's nothing to think about. You can ask me anything you need to think about or have any questions. I can answer them for you. Don't be like this. You're making me very nervous. Liu Zijun is not a problem, no one is a problem. You can trust me."

Jiang Mi shook her head; her mind was in turmoil.

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s that I don’t trust myself. I need to think this through. You’re like a cloud in the sky, and I’m like mud on the ground. We’re worlds apart. Huo Ran, we’re not on the same level. I’m not good enough for you.”

Huo Ran immediately became anxious upon hearing this: "No, Honey, you are so good, so smart and resourceful, and you have so many novel ideas. Everything becomes incredibly easy for you, and you also have a great business sense. I am not good enough for you."

Jiang Mi couldn't listen to anything right now. She couldn't reason with Huo Ran, so she simply walked away, and Huo Ran hurriedly chased after her.

Jiang Mi was on the verge of a breakdown. She said impatiently, "I told you I need to calm down. Why are you still following me? What good does it do you to force me like this? I'll come find you once I've calmed down."

Huo Ran seemed to want to say something, opened his mouth, and then closed it again.

"Really? You've thought it through, and you really will come looking for me? Honey, you know how I feel. You know how I feel about you. I don't want to lose you because of these external factors. As long as you have me in your heart, and we are steadfast in our feelings for each other, we can overcome any difficulty, and everything will be alright."

Maybe so, but Jiang Mi just wanted to be alone for a while, so she hurriedly returned home and locked Huo Ran out.

"Honey's back? I heard you went to release lanterns with Young Master Huo. How did it go?"

Jiang Mi heard Jiang Xuan's voice from behind. She wasn't too surprised. Her two older brothers must be waiting for her at home since she was so late. She didn't expect Huo Ran to be so thoughtful, telling Jiang Xuan and Jiang Zhi about her schedule, which put their minds at ease.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xuan then noticed that Jiang Mi's expression was off, as if she had experienced something very upsetting. "What happened? Tell your brother, did that brat surnamed Huo bully you?"

Jiang Mi shook her head. She felt incredibly wronged by Jiang Xuan's question, but not wanting Jiang Xuan to worry about her, she could only say, "I'm fine, I'm just a little sleepy."

Jiang Xuan grabbed him and said, "Don't ask anymore. If she wants to tell you,..."

She'll tell you sooner or later. If she doesn't want to, no matter how much you ask, she won't tell you.

Jiang Zhi was furious, his chest heaving as he said, "Then what do you suggest we do? Just let it go like this? Honey is someone we've raised with our own hands, how can you be so heartless as to watch her be bullied?"

Jiang Xuan's face darkened: "How could I possibly tolerate this? But if you ask Honey now, it will only make her more upset. I believe she will get over it later. However, we can find out what happened in our own way. Besides, you and I are about to take the exam. If we want to protect our little sister and our whole family, we must establish ourselves in the capital and make others afraid to bully us. We must make them cower in fear whenever they hear the name Jiang."

Jiang Xuan spoke almost word by word, these were words he had wanted to say for a long time, but never had the chance. Now that this had happened, he naturally wanted to remind Jiang Zhi as soon as possible that only if the two brothers worked together to grow stronger would no one in the capital dare to bully them easily!

“You’re right. If some rich and powerful people bully Jiang Mi, we won’t even have the ability to fight back. If we don’t want to be bullied, we have to become strong and make people fear us. I understand, Second Brother. I will study hard. This time, you and I must be fully focused.”

Jiang Zhi was no longer impulsive; he knew what was important when it came to important matters.

Jiang Xuan nodded: "Then go ask the two maids who are with Honey. They've been following Honey all day, so they should know what happened. But when you ask, it's best not to let Honey know."

Jiang Zhi nodded: "Okay, I understand. What about you?"

Jiang Xuan said, "I'll go outside and ask around. Honey went out with Huo Ran today, but when they came back, he didn't bring her back. Honey came back alone. There must be something strange about this. I'll go outside and ask around. Maybe I can find out something."

"Okay, let's split up then. It's getting late, so be careful out there and come back soon. I'll be waiting for you at home."

After watching Jiang Xuan leave, Jiang Zhi quietly went to the back room.
