Chapter 283 Horrifying

The coldness in Jiang Lunnan's eyes seemed to penetrate directly into people's hearts, making them feel suffocated and depressed.

Originally, there was some sunlight shining directly through the windows, making people feel very warm, but at this moment, it suddenly made people feel as if every limb was pierced by ice.

Si Wan had never felt that Jiang Linan was so difficult to deal with.

It seems that the saying "Don't bully the poor young" is true. People will undergo unpredictable changes as they grow older. She couldn't help but look up to Jiang Runan and realized how terrifying he was.

"You have something to do, so I'm leaving now. Please take good care of Yangyang. I'll come visit my daughter again when I have time. Don't get angry again. Remember to control your emotions. Yangyang, I will support you no matter what happens."

It was unclear whether Si Wan was speaking to Xu Yangyang or Jiang Linan. In any case, he seemed to be in a hurry. He said a few perfunctory words and then left.

Xu Yangyang quietly recalled what Jiang Linan had just said. He had never seen him so depressed, and he never expected that he would give so much for him.

Her eyes were filled with obvious surprise and admiration.

She sat up from the bed, looked at him quietly, and pulled up his sleeves. He had the scent of a mature man's perfume on him, and Xu Yangyang had always been obsessed with it.

She hugged Jiang Runan's waist quietly. Although his formal attire made it impossible to feel his body temperature, Xu Yangyang was still fascinated by it.

"Lu Nan, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful and do such great things quietly. You actually did so much when no one else knew. No wonder my mother couldn't say anything to refute you. But don't take my mother's words to heart. She has always been like this, always looking down on others. Maybe apart from me, there is no one in the world that she can look down on."

Xu Yangyang knew that Si Wan's words would not cause any harm to Jiang Linan. He had already stood so high up that he didn't care what she thought.

But Si Wan was her mother after all, so she naturally couldn't say anything.

Jiang Lunnan hugged the woman beside him tightly, as if he wanted to merge her entire body into his own, and he did so with great force.

"You are truly amazing. I don't know how much you have to do to expand your power to the point where you can rival the royal family, but I believe you have the ability, Lu Nan. Even if we don't have such strength, we don't have to be afraid of my mother. After all, she wouldn't really be willing to separate us."

Xu Yangyang felt guilty after hearing what she said, but she had to say it to appease Jiang Runan.

His coldness and disgust towards Si Wan just now, as well as the threats at the end, were not fake.

If Si Wan keeps asking for repayment, doesn't take Xu Yangyang seriously, and only treats her as a tool, then they will just take it one step at a time.

However, Jiang Linan would not say this directly in front of Xu Yangyang.

He held her on his lap, looked at Xu Yangyang's tender skin and lips, and couldn't help but give her a light kiss.

The two of them cuddled for a while, and Jiang Linan, mindful of her pregnancy, hesitated to do anything else. He simply spoke in a low voice, "Don't worry, Yangyang. I will be with you no matter how you want to live your life. You should choose the lifestyle you like. If there's anything about the family that you're dissatisfied with, feel free to raise it."

Jiang Linan's words seemed to have a soothing magic, making Xu Yangyang feel a warmth flowing in her heart.

She responded with a gentle nod like a cat.

At the same time, Si Wan just found an excuse and hurriedly left Xu Yangyang. She had just heard Jiang Linan's threat and immediately lost control of her expression.

Even though she has returned to the royal family now, she still can't really relax when she thinks of Jiang Linan's words.

She sighed, waved her hand, and called her men over.

"Queen, is there something wrong?"

The subordinate bowed his body and spoke reverently.

Si Wan's face was cold, like a frozen oil painting, but his face couldn't help but reveal a hint of ruthlessness, which made people feel afraid.

"Check Jiang Lunnan's sphere of influence here. I want a detailed result. Give it to me in half an hour."

Si Wan now desperately wanted to know whether what he said was true or not.

While waiting for the results, she did a lot of things to try to divert her attention until the servants brought the real results. After reading them, Si Wan's heart sank.

What Jiang Linan said was not self-boasting, but he really had great abilities.

His influence in this city is far greater than that of the royal family. The biggest difference between him and the royal family is that the royal family has relatively more say, but this is not surprising at all. The most important thing is that he has reached the point where he can cover the sky with one hand. If the two families really compete with each other, it will be a loss for both the enemy and himself.

Si Wan's hands couldn't help but tremble as he looked at the result in front of him. Thinking of Jiang Runan's behavior today, he knew that he was not a kind-hearted person.

She couldn't help but feel a little afraid of Jiang Linan.

But Si Wan changed his mind and thought of his daughter.

If Xu Yangyang could marry Jiang Runan, it might be a good idea, since the child in her belly happens to be his.

By joining forces, they can take the opportunity to restrain Jiang Runan.

As long as he still loves Xu Yangyang, even if he has tremendous power, he will only belong to the royal family.

When Si Wan thought of this, a smile of success suddenly flashed across his lips.

The big stone in my heart fell to the ground in an instant, and all the problems were solved.

She took out her phone and dialed her daughter's number.

At the same time, Jiang Linan had something else to do, so he left first. Xu Yangyang was resting well in the room alone. When she saw Si Wan's call, she hesitated for a moment and chose to answer it.

"Yangyang, I have a question that I think I should ask you."

Si Wan's tone was gentle, sounding very much like a loving mother.

"Mom, just say it." Xu Yangyang's intuition told her that this was not a good thing.

"Will you marry Jiang Lunnan? If so, I will immediately prepare a wedding for you two. I will make sure your wedding is grand and glorious, and I also want you two to have a harmonious relationship. As long as I see you two getting along, I'll be happy."

Si Wan's tone rose, completely different from the way he spoke to Jiang Linan in the room just now.

Xu Yangyang didn't know what changes had taken place in Si Wan's mentality in this short period of time.

"Mom, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Xu Yangyang hesitated for a moment, not feeling that Si Wan was really thinking about her own happiness.
