"Of course you dare. What is there that Ran Jie wouldn't dare to do?" Jian Ruoxi stepped forward instead of backing down, meeting Ran Jie's gaze.
"For so many years, you've been enjoying Xiao Jin's protection with such self-righteousness, and you really think you're so great?" Just thinking about Xiao Jin's aggrieved look made Jian Ruoxi want to knock Ran Jie to the ground.
If Lu Shen causes trouble for Ran Jie again, she will stop Lu Jin from interfering and let those people beat him up.
Some people just don't know their place until they're taught a lesson.
"Lu Jin's protection? What a joke!" Ran Jie laughed uncontrollably, clutching his stomach, as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world.
"My achievements today are entirely due to my own abilities. What does it have to do with Lu Jin?"
Jian Ruoxi shook her head, looking at Ran Jie as if she were looking at a fool.
"Putting everything else aside, over the years, if it weren't for Xiao Jin stopping Lu Shen, you would have been taught a lesson eight hundred times over just for the outrageous things you said to Xiao Jin."
Jian Ruoxi knew Lu Shen somewhat; he might not say it, but he valued his family very much.
He was ruthless and decisive in the business world, and those who had offended him had all met with bad ends. He would never allow those who had bullied his sister to live as comfortably as they did today.
Even if Lu Jin didn't say much, she could guess that Lu Jin had already made a lot of compensation to Ran Jie.
“I didn’t beg her to stop me. Lu Shen wants to teach me a lesson? Let him come. I’m not afraid of him.”
He had heard of Lu Shen's reputation, but he never believed the rumors about him, thinking they were all exaggerations.
Those people don't dare to provoke Lu Shen because they are cowardly and incompetent. Ran Jie is not like those ordinary people.
Hearing Ran Jie's overly confident words, Jian Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This eerie smile sent a chill down Ran Jie's spine. "What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at you for being two-faced."
"He said things that belittled Xiaojin, but he was still taking advantage of her protection."
"I didn't." Ran Jie immediately denied it, feeling that what Jian Ruoxi said was nonsensical. How could he use Lu Jin's protection?
"Everyone else is afraid of Lu Shen, but you are not. Why? It's because you know clearly that no matter how much trouble you cause, Lu Shen will not do anything to you."
"Because Xiao Jin will take the initiative to help you resolve all of this."
She finally saw through Ran Jie. He portrayed himself as very noble, but he still unconsciously enjoyed the conveniences others provided for him, and afterwards he even betrayed them to gain a good reputation.
"You're wrong!" Ran Jie unconsciously began to back away, trying to distance himself from Jian Ruoxi. He even seemed a little afraid to meet her eyes.
"Did I hit the nail on the head agent? Are you feeling guilty?" Jian Ruoxi looked at him sarcastically.
"I don't."
Ran Jie denied it loudly, as if only in this way could he suppress Jian Ruoxi.
But in the face of facts, no matter how loudly you shout, it's useless.
"For so many years, you have taken advantage of Xiaojin's guilt towards Tianlei to act arrogantly and domineeringly, thinking that Xiaojin owes you and your family, so you take all the kindness Xiaojin has shown you for granted."
Jian Ruoxi became more and more agitated as she spoke, "Do you really think you're a top agent because of your own efforts? With the way you are, I know without even needing Wen Nuan that you must have offended a lot of people in the entertainment industry."
"Why didn't those people cause you any trouble later, Ran Jie? Have you thought about that carefully?"
The questions exploded in Ran Jie's mind like thunderclaps.
He suddenly remembered that before he joined Huarui, Tian Lei had disappeared. Back then, he disliked anyone who was even slightly rich or powerful, and his words were always easily heated.
But strangely enough, those people never caused him any trouble, and even when they met again, they never said a harsh word to him.
At the time, he thought it was because he was good at it, but now, upon closer reflection, there may have been other reasons.
Jian Ruoxi's subsequent words confirmed his conjecture.
"You really think they're afraid of you? Ran Jie, you weren't exactly a well-known agent back then."
"There is only one family they will fear, and that is the Lu family, which is ranked number one among the wealthy families."
“Lu Shen will naturally not care about you. If you treat Xiao Jin like this, he would be happy if you were bullied to death. The only person who would go to such lengths to help you is Xiao Jin.”
Ran Jie retreated repeatedly, shaking his head as if unwilling to believe the fact.
"It's only by bringing up the identity of the eldest daughter of the Lu family that Xiao Jin can make those people afraid and dare not do anything to you."
"Impossible, this can't be true." Ran Jie refused to believe that he had reached his current position because of the protection of the person he hated the most.
He cannot accept it.
"Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant." Jian Ruoxi didn't expect a single sentence to change Ran Jie's mind. "You can look up what I'm saying yourself and ask the people you've offended."
"See why they haven't touched you."
Ran Jie's eyes were glazed over. What Jian Ruoxi said today had a great impact on him, as if it had completely overturned his understanding.
He didn't know how to face it.
"Ran Jie, do you know how timid you are?"
Seeing him like this, Jian Ruoxi didn't feel sorry for him at all, and continued speaking.
"You're still a coward. The one who really drove Li Tianlei away was the old lady of the Lu family. There's a cause for every grievance, and a debtor for every crime. If you have grievances, go find the old lady. Why do you keep blaming my Xiaojin!"
As she finished speaking, tears welled up in Jian Ruoxi's eyes.
The thought of Xiao Jin waiting alone for her lover to return, willingly suffering to atone for her sins, and having to constantly endure the resentment from Li Tianlei's family is unbearable.
Xiao Jin is a young girl, who will care for her?
"Xiao Jin has waited for so many years. She has not let Li Tianlei down. She has helped you a lot in secret and has not wronged you, her cousin."
"On the contrary, it was you who, relying on your past friendship and Xiao Jin's guilt, recklessly hurt her for many years."
"Don't you think about how you're going to explain this to Li Tianlei when he comes back and sees you bullying Xiaojin like this?"
Ran Jie only snapped out of his daze upon hearing Li Tianlei's name.
Will Tianlei come back?
Not only did Lu Jin keep looking for him, but his cousin also never stopped searching.
But there's still no news at all.
"Xiao Jin always believed he would come back."
"If he comes back and finds out that you, as his cousin, not only didn't support Xiaojin, but also often rubbed salt into her wounds, how disappointed he will be."
"Have you forgotten? Xiao Jin loves Li Tianlei just as much as Li Tianlei loves Xiao Jin."
After saying all that she had to say, Jian Ruoxi strode away.
Ran Jie, who was behind him, squatted down and couldn't help but shed tears of remorse. "Tian Lei, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have hurt the person you love."
