Seeing everyone whispering among themselves, Huo Siyan also sensed something was wrong and gave Wen Qing a cold look.
Wen Qing lowered his head in frustration. Who knew that such a thing would happen after he had only been gone for a short while?
Fortunately, Miss Jiang is no ordinary woman; she managed to resolve the matter perfectly on her own. Otherwise, wouldn't I have been charged by President Huo with negligence in taking care of her?
Wen Qing stepped forward and whispered in Huo Siyan's ear what had just happened.
After listening, Huo Siyan's expression remained calm, but a trace of emotion flashed quickly in his deep eyes.
"Miss Jiang, it's all my fault for not handling things properly. You were wrongly accused! I failed to fulfill President Huo's instructions..."
Jiang Ran shook her head indifferently: "It's okay, I can handle this without you."
If you have to rely on others to solve everything, what's the difference between you and a dodder vine that can only grow by clinging to others?
She didn't want to be a useless pretty face who could only cling to men.
As the saying goes, "Mountains may crumble, people may run away; only relying on yourself is truly reliable!"
In her past life, she was too trusting of men, which led her to fall for Wen Yanfei's tricks and give away all her assets for nothing.
Speaking of Wen Yanfei, she had heard about him a few years ago.
For some reason, he stopped being Jiang Xinrou's lapdog and instead became a rich woman's mistress. Who knew that the rich woman's husband would find out and have him beaten so badly that he lost control of his bladder and bowels. He is still lying in a hospital bed and can't take care of himself.
I heard that everyone in his ward hated him; you could smell a strong stench of feces and urine as soon as you got close to his bed.
He probably never imagined that someone with OCD would one day become the very thing he hated most.
“Miss Jiang is truly remarkable! I admire her! However, this matter is still due to my incompetence.” Wen Qing glanced at Huo Siyan discreetly. “This subordinate will go and receive punishment now.”
Seeing Wen Qing's fleeing figure, Jiang Ran's lips twitched a few times: "No... we don't need to punish him... I'm fine..."
"He should be punished for his poor performance."
Huo Siyan's voice was very soft, but Jiang Ran could detect a hint of coldness in it.
Yes, Huo Siyan has never been an easy person to talk to. He won the competition for the Huo family heir, so naturally his hands are stained with blood.
Perhaps she misunderstood him. He would be a ruthless and decisive leader, someone who could be a partner but not a friend.
Thinking this, Jiang Ran unconsciously distanced herself from him.
Huo Siyan noticed all her little movements. His eyes darkened, and he gently pulled her closer with his large hand.
"There are so many people here. If you keep hiding from me like this, people will start to suspect our relationship."
"Don't worry, Mr. Huo." Jiang Ran tightened her grip on his arm, a gentle smile on her face. "I will definitely do my job as an actress and won't let anyone know about our relationship."
That's good.
Huo Siyan led her into the crowd, where people would occasionally come up with drinks and strike up a conversation.
"I heard that Mr. Huo's wedding is coming soon... I wonder if I will have the honor of attending the wedding banquet?"
"nature."
"Mr. Huo and Ms. Jiang seem to be a perfect match. I just wonder if it was Mr. Huo who pursued Ms. Jiang or Ms. Jiang who pursued Mr. Huo."
Huo Siyan tilted his head slightly, glanced down at Jiang Ran beside him, placed his large hand on her head, and gently let her head rest on his shoulder.
"I was the one who pursued her first."
Jiang Ran maintained her smiling expression, but after a while, her face felt stiff from smiling, so she had to tilt her head slightly and bury her face in his shoulder to secretly rest.
To others, her actions seemed like she was just shy, and everyone assumed they were a loving couple.
In the distance, Wang Jingxian stared menacingly at the two people standing in the center of the crowd, her eyes growing darker and darker, countless grievances spreading from them.
She originally thought that Jiang Ran had seduced Si Yan, but she never expected that it was actually Si Yan who had pursued Jiang Ran.
Why should I?!
For so many years, she had followed him around, learning whatever he liked and doing her best to please his family.
In terms of looks, in what way am I inferior to Jiang Ran?!
In terms of family background, I am far superior to hers!
In terms of kinship, the Wang family and the Huo family are old friends, and she is also deeply liked by Uncle Huo, who has long said that he wants her to become Huo's daughter-in-law.
Why should I?!
No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't understand why she would lose to Jiang Ran, that woman!
What's so great about her? Why is Brother Si Yan so infatuated with her?
Taking a deep breath, Wang Jingxian clenched her hands tightly at her sides.
Her hateful gaze shifted from Jiang Ran to Huo Siyan, revealing infatuation.
Si Yan can only be hers! She will definitely take back everything that belongs to her.
After the banquet, Jiang Ran felt more tired than ever before.
I never imagined acting would be so tiring. Luckily, I'm not an actor.
She laughed so hard her face was stiff all night.
It seems this job isn't easy.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.
"What's wrong?" Huo Siyan turned his head to look at her.
"I'm fine, it's just that my smile looks a little stiff."
"Well..." Huo Siyan raised an eyebrow, his burning gaze falling on her face, his tone tinged with a hint of playfulness: "Do you need me to rub it for you?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran, who had been drowsy, instantly perked up, staring at him warily and shaking her head emphatically: "No need! I can rub it myself."
As she spoke, she reached out and pinched the flesh on her cheek, instantly becoming much more awake.
While driving, Wenqing heard her boss being harshly rejected and wished she could hide on the floor.
Hopefully, Mr. Huo won't take his anger out on himself just because Ms. Jiang rejected him.
Moreover, Mr. Huo's methods of pursuing girls are too embarrassing. It seems he needs to think of a solution for his boss.
tomorrow!
Tomorrow he'll go to the bookstore and buy a few books about how to pursue girls for President Huo to read!
Mr. Huo reads so fast he can read ten lines at a glance; he'll definitely become a master of romance within a month! Then, winning over Miss Jiang will be a piece of cake!
If I do my job well, my bonus this year might increase several times over.
They arrived at the Shen family's house quickly, and Wenqing ran over and opened the back door of the car.
Jiang Ran got out of the car and immediately waved to Huo Siyan when she saw him about to get out as well.
"It's alright! You don't need to see me in! I can walk in myself..."
As she spoke, she waved her hand and quickly retreated back inside the Shen family's gate.
Huo Siyan stood in front of the car, and only after she got in did he look at Wen Qing, his eyes as cold as ice: "Have you arranged everything I asked you to do?"
