Upon hearing these words, Jiang Xinrou's face turned bright red.
How can these people be so foul-mouthed?!
With so much food and drink, can't they shut up?! Are they just bored and have nothing better to do than spout nonsense here?!
Gritting her teeth fiercely, Jiang Xinrou suddenly turned around, ready to yell at the two women who were talking, but Jiang Minghui stopped her.
"Xinrou, don't embarrass yourself in such a big event today. Go back to your room!" Jiang Minghui grabbed her arm, his tone carrying a warning.
Today is his day to turn things around! Huo Siyan has personally visited the Jiang family; from now on, no one in the business world will dare to look down on him!
Although deep down he also hoped that Huo Siyan would fall for Jiang Xinrou, but...
Since things have come to this, there's nothing he can do. In any case, Huo Siyan has his eye on his daughter, and Jiang Ran, that wretched girl, is nominally his daughter. With this connection, people in the business world will likely give him some face in the future.
Upon hearing Jiang Minghui's words, Jiang Xinrou's eyes widened in disbelief.
She could hardly believe her ears.
Did these words really come from her father, who loved her the most?
"dad..."
"What are you still standing here for! Hurry up and go inside!" Jiang Minghui said sternly, then immediately waved to the two aunties to take Jiang Xinrou back to her room.
He knew exactly what he was doing. Although he usually doted on Jiang Xinrou, he had to prioritize important matters on this occasion.
If Xinrou continues to stay here, it might anger Huo Siyan, which would be bad. Now that the opportunity has come, he will definitely do his best to seize this opportunity!
As for Xinrou, she's just throwing a childish tantrum for a couple of days and that's it.
The most important thing right now is to keep Huo Siyan in check. As long as we can maintain even the slightest connection with the Huo family, it will be equivalent to having a continuous source of wealth.
Jiang Xinrou, however, thought differently. She believed that Jiang Minghui had changed and no longer loved her.
He actually yelled at her in front of so many people and ordered someone to take her back to her room. Why didn't he try to stand up for her?!
She is far superior to Jiang Ran. If he puts in a little more effort, Huo Siyan might actually fall for her!
What right does he have to lock her in the room?!
Why should I?!
At this moment, Jiang Minghui couldn't hear Jiang Xinrou's cries from inside the room; all he could think about was Huo Siyan.
He went straight to Jiang Ran and pushed her in front of Huo Siyan.
"Xiao Ran, how can you be so insensible? Young Master Huo came to celebrate your birthday in person, and you're not even going to thank him!"
Jiang Ran stumbled as she was pushed, but a large hand grabbed her wrist, preventing her from making intimate contact with the ground.
Jiang Ran gritted her teeth, her cold gaze falling on the large hand on her wrist, her eyes darkening.
She tried to pull her hand away, but the large hand gripped her even tighter.
Jiang Ran took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and raised her head, meeting his deep, sinister eyes.
She narrowed her eyes and said, almost enunciating each word clearly, "Thank you, Young Master Huo!"
"You're welcome." Huo Siyan raised an eyebrow, a wicked smile playing on his handsome lips.
"......"
Jiang Ran coldly withdrew her hand, utterly speechless.
What's wrong with this man?
She had heard the name Huo Siyan from others in her previous life, but she had never met him.
Why would a man who has absolutely no connection to her suddenly appear in her life in this lifetime?
This is so bizarre!
"Xiao Ran, what are you doing? Quickly invite Young Master Huo in and have him sit down!" Seeing Jiang Ran's indifferent attitude, Jiang Minghui wished he could rush over and take her place.
Is this brat deliberately trying to drive him crazy?!
Does she even know who Huo Siyan is?! Is he someone she can afford to offend? Why is she putting on such a sour face?!
If she offends Huo Siyan and implicates the Jiang family, let's see how he deals with her!
Jiang Ran clenched her fists secretly with her hands hanging by her sides, but she quickly composed herself and looked at the tall man in front of her with a forced smile: "Young Master Huo, please come in."
Huo Siyan raised an eyebrow slightly, his deep eyes fixed on her with intense gaze.
All she heard was his low, husky voice beside her, his tone carrying an unfathomable gentleness: "Then I'll trouble Miss Jiang to lead the way."
Jiang Ran was speechless and had no choice but to turn around and lead him inside.
As she walked, she couldn't help but curse inwardly!
Is there something wrong with this man?
She thought he was strange when she met him at the Emperor Hotel. At that time, her appearance hadn't recovered yet, and he could still look at her with that face. She originally thought he had some kind of special fetish and liked ugly women.
But now that his appearance has been restored, what is his purpose in coming here?
This is so annoying! I really don't understand why this man keeps bothering me.
Could it be that he really... has some interest in me?
He has absolutely no sense of propriety! Can't he see that she's the kind of woman who 'has no man in her heart, and draws her sword with divine power'?
She doesn't need a man at all!
In her past life, she was deceived by Wen Yanfei, which led to her tragic end.
She'd already been fooled by a man once! She wouldn't fall for it again in this life!
After bringing Huo Siyan to the main seat at the banquet, Jiang Ran made an excuse to slip away.
