Whatever his purpose, she would not be afraid.
She was determined to avenge her past life's grudge, and if Huo Siyan's appearance would prevent her from taking revenge, she didn't care what his identity was!
Jiang Ran clenched her fists and silently made up her mind.
Looking into the distance, Jiang Ran suddenly remembered something and decided to take advantage of the moment to sneak back to her room.
Turning around, I suddenly saw a tall figure leaning against the wall, his sharply defined features shrouded in darkness, exuding an invisible pressure.
Upon seeing him, Jiang Ran couldn't help but frown deeply.
She blinked and walked towards him with a cold expression.
“Mr. Huo, there’s no one else here, so I’ll just get straight to the point.”
Jiang Ran had no patience left to deal with this strange man. Her time was precious, and she was determined to bring down Jiang Minghui's family as soon as possible.
Raising her eyebrows, Jiang Ran continued with a serious expression: "I don't know what your purpose is in performing in front of so many people. I don't know you at all, and your current behavior is already interfering with me. I think Mr. Huo wouldn't stoop to doing such things. So what exactly is your purpose? Or what do you want to get from me? You might as well just say it."
The man remained silent, but a sense of loss lingered in his deep eyes in the darkness.
After a long pause, the man parted his thin lips slightly, his hoarse voice revealing a hint of sadness: "What do you think my purpose is?"
"If I knew what your purpose was, I wouldn't have asked you. Let's stop beating around the bush and just tell me what you want from me. I don't want to play these pointless games with you anymore."
Huo Siyan narrowed his long, phoenix-shaped eyes, his large hands tucked into his pockets tightened involuntarily, and his gaze toward her was deep and intense.
His purpose...
Whether in his past life or this one, his purpose has never changed.
I just hope she can be happy and content.
But... she was always wary of him.
But he has already decided that no matter how resistant she is to him, he will not allow the tragedy of the previous life to happen again in this life.
Therefore, he had to keep her by his side, whether she wanted to or not.
Huo Siyan averted his gaze, his long eyelashes casting a silhouette on his face, making him appear somewhat forlorn.
He strode toward her until he cornered her against the wall.
"My target... is you."
"I?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran smiled mockingly: "Mr. Huo, you wouldn't be thinking of saying something cliché like 'love at first sight,' would you? I'm sorry, I have absolutely no interest in you, and I never will. So please, don't act like we have any relationship in front of others. We're not even acquainted!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Siyan's expression changed, and his deep eyes dimmed.
Jiang Ran looked up and glanced at him, her eyes filled with indifference.
She bent down to walk past him, but a strong arm reached out and blocked her between the wall and him.
The man looked down at her, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "You may not be interested in me, but... you can use me."
"What?" Jiang Ran doubted her ears. Could she have misheard?
Use him?
Did he actively ask her to use him?
"Yes...you can use me. I know you have many things you want to do, and I think my influence is still useful to you."
"..." Jiang Ran looked at him in shock.
Was what he said true or false?
Is he playing with her?
She simply couldn't believe that the Huo family's sole heir would actually ask others to use him. Could it be that he was sick and not thinking straight?
"What? Don't you want to?" the man asked with a smile.
"You...you're not trying to play me, are you?"
Jiang Ran simply couldn't believe what he said. Who would willingly let someone else use them?
Just as she was thinking this, something was stuffed into her hand.
She looked down and saw a token-like object in her hand. The pattern on it resembled a family totem, looking both unique and complex.
In addition to the token, there was also a business card on it.
"This is the unique emblem of the Huo family. With it, all of Huo family's subordinates will obey your orders. If there is anything you don't understand, just contact the person on that business card, and he can solve everything."
"......" Jiang Ran was completely stunned.
Why is he so strange?
He suddenly barged into the banquet and then had someone use him! Now he's given her all this stuff—what is he trying to do?
Jiang Ran lowered her eyes to look at the token in her palm. The pattern on it was intricate and made of a special material she had never seen before, so it was impossible to fake.
But...is this token really usable? Is he playing a trick on her?
Whose number is on this business card?
Jiang Ran found it all too strange. If what he gave her was real, then why would he do it?
Perhaps she wasn't so charming that he would willingly let her be used?
Could there really be something wrong with his brain?
Jiang Ran was filled with questions and confusion. By the time she came to her senses, Huo Siyan had already disappeared.
Looking at the business card in her palm, Jiang Ran fell into deep thought.
After a long while, she dialed the number on the business card.
Regardless of Huo Siyan's thoughts, everything she wanted to do would be much easier with his help.
If what he gave her was fake, then he was incredibly bored to do something so childish!
The call was answered quickly.
Jiang Ran was stunned when she heard the call connected.
He didn't lie to her?
Soon, Jiang Ran gave some instructions over the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ran felt a little uneasy.
Is it really okay for her to take advantage of him like this?
Jiang Ran's beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly; she simply couldn't understand it.
Why would Huo Siyan help her?
I don't have anything of value on me...
Never mind, I shouldn't overthink it.
Anyway, he was the one who let her use him, but she wasn't that greedy. She just wanted to use Huo Siyan's power to find out what happened to her second sister back then.
She had asked Xia Shiwen to investigate this matter a long time ago, but there were still no clues.
Although Xia Shiwen's father is the richest man in City A, he is no match for the Huo family.
With the Huo family's power, even if a long time has passed, they will surely be able to find some clues.
Jiang Ran came to the banquet from the back garden. The banquet was still lively. She looked around, but still couldn't see Huo Siyan.
Has he already left?
Jiang Ran blinked and searched for Huo Siyan's figure in the crowd again, but still found nothing.
She lifted her skirt and found Shen Qingwan, asking with some confusion, "Mom...where's Huo Siyan?"
