Chapter 337: Lightspeed Slap in the Face
The remaining people in the conference room were all close confidants of the Yan family. After listening to Mr. Yan's well-reasoned analysis, they were also calmed down.
Yes, Si Xu left Xiling Base last time, but he came back in the end.
If the Beichen Huo family really invited Jiang Ranran, why would she come back?
Obviously, the woman was using Professor Si as a bargaining chip to threaten them.
"Tsk tsk, woman." The man who had just targeted Jiang Ranran sneered, "She came here to stand up for her brother, but in the end she still has to rely on Professor Si. Haha, what do you call that? A vampire? Professor Si really doesn't have good taste in this girl."
"That's right." Another person echoed and suddenly suggested, "Jiang Ranran is so arrogant, isn't it because she has Professor Si's support behind her? Mr. Yan, how about this? We find a chance to talk to Professor Si and see if we can find some beautiful girls to give to him..."
When they followed Chen Lang before, they and Si Xu were in a state of mutual dislike and never thought of winning him over.
Now that Chen Lang is dead, they have no deep hatred with Si Xu. Instead of becoming enemies, why not win him over to become their helper?
Old Yan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment: "Hmm... Under the current circumstances, this method can be tried."
"Alright, I want to see if Jiang Ranran will really pack up and get out of Xiling without Professor Si." The man snorted and laughed. "And the Huo family invited her? She doesn't even consider her own character. How could she have caught the eye of the Huo family's patriarch? Is it just that pretty face? Ha."
After a thorough analysis, Old Yan was in a good mood. He stood up and said to the man who was muttering beside him, "Xiao Xu, you performed well today. I will tell Old Xu to take good care of you on weekdays."
Xu Hesui's brows showed joy - the Xu family had many descendants, and he was the illegitimate son of the eldest uncle of the Xu family. His elder brother Xu Henian, as the legitimate grandson of the Xu family, was in poor health and was bedridden all year round. But Old Xu doted on this eldest grandson very much and was unwilling to hand over the Xu family's business to him.
In this fight with Shen Yang, Mr. Xu has been on the sidelines. Rumors have revealed that it was Xu Henian who told the old man not to rush to take sides.
Humph, are you still waiting and watching at this time? Shen Yang is unpopular, and the Yan family is the one that everyone expects. Once the Yan family wins this fight, it will be too late for the Xu family to take sides.
That sickly guy has never been involved in base work, yet he insists on giving advice to the old man...
The old man is in poor health now, and most of the Xu family's work is handed over to him, but the decision-making power for the truly important work is still in the hands of the old man.
In order to gain the old man's absolute trust, he chose to join Yan Jue. The last time Yan Jue went to the Shen family to cause trouble, he was distracted by family matters and did not go with him, but he also heard that Yan Jue was beaten badly.
Knowing that Mr. Yan and Jiang Ranran had a grudge, he stood up today to question Jiang Ranran.
Judging from the current situation, he won the bet.
As long as Mr. Yan is willing to promote him, his father will one day discover his good qualities.
By then, he would be the heir chosen by the old man and a favorite of Mr. Yan. Who would dare to look down on him?
The man was imagining his bright future in his mind when he suddenly heard low voices coming from the front and the team's speed was getting slower and slower.
The people who came out with them were all close associates of Master Yan. At this moment, someone returned to Master Yan and whispered, "Master Yan, Miss Jiang is still at the gate..."
The man had a conflicted expression, as if hesitating whether to speak directly.
Elder Yan said solemnly, "It has nothing to do with us. We will just go on our own way. Don't pay any attention to her."
"But, Miss Jiang..."
"Don't mention that woman." Xu Hesui supported Old Yan and said coldly, "She's waiting there, maybe to apologize to you, Old Yan, for what happened just now, haha."
Knowing that Jiang Ran would not apologize, but not worried that Jiang Ran would dare to do anything to him in public, Old Yan patted Xu Hesui's hand and let him support him as they walked towards the door.
"But Mr. Yan..." the man who came back to deliver the news muttered softly, "Miss Jiang and Mr. Luo are together..."
…
Walking out of the door, Jiang Ran looked at Luo Yuting who was waiting at the door, surprised: "Huh? You can get out of bed now? It seems that the healing system is really powerful."
She walked over to Luo Yuting and looked him up and down: "Are you really recovered?"
Luo Yuting smiled bitterly: "Well, it's okay. This time, thank you and Si Xu, I owe you another favor."
Jiang Ran grunted twice, walked around him twice, then without hesitation grabbed his hands and shoulders and threw him to the ground with a standard over-the-shoulder throw.
Luo Yuting groaned but did not fight back.
The commotion here caused Gu Yunqing and Su Qin, who had followed Jiang Ran out, to stop.
Both of them: "..."
Gu Yunqing whispered: "Look, he's humbly admitting his mistake~"
Su Qin sighed: "How miserable! She fell just as she was about to get out of bed~"
After knocking Luo Yuting down, Jiang Ran felt refreshed.
Looking at the man lying on the ground, she stretched out her hand: "Since you have just recovered from a serious illness, I don't mind giving you a hand."
Luo Yuting pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, held her hand, and stood up with the help of her.
He dusted off his clothes and looked very obedient: "Are you calmed down?"
Jiang Ran curled her lips: "The Luo family's patriarch came to apologize in person, so he's probably calmed down a bit - but Luo Yuting, you should be thankful that my brother is okay, otherwise..."
She clenched her fist and shook it in front of his eyes, her meaning was very clear.
"I didn't expect that you two siblings have such a good relationship." When Jiang Ran dragged the half-dead Yan Jue to the villa, he realized that he had made a mistake.
Knowing that Si Xu and Jiang Ran were forced to leave Xiling Base by Shen Lang, he thought... those people in the Shen family were not that important to her.
"You've only been with Luo Rui for a few days and yet you're already spending so much time with her. Why can't my brothers and I have such a good relationship?"
Luo Yuting apologized again: "Sorry."
"snort."
Jiang Ran held the documents, smoothed her hair, and called out to Gu Yunqing and Su Qin: "Captain Gu, Captain Qin, come to my place for lunch at noon. I'll cook."
Then he looked at Luo Yuting: "Are you and your family coming together?"
After experiencing the girl's cooking skills, Luo Yuting readily agreed: "Okay."
…
Xu Hesui supported Old Yan and stood stiffly at the door.
The group did not move, staring blankly at Jiang Ran and his group as they left.
I could still faintly hear the conversation between Jiang Ran and Luo Yuting.
"When I left Beichen last time, Mr. Tu Su gave me some medicine for my injuries. I'll give it to your eldest brother later?"
"I have one too, for life-saving." The girl's voice was a little proud, "Sir, you are very generous, hehe."
"He favors you."
"That's right, I'm cute."
"By the way, we've been away for so long. What's the situation with Huo Sichan? Has he contacted you?"
"Huo Lingyin contacted me a few days ago. She just left Beichen. If there are no delays on the road, she can reach Xiling in half a month."
"That's good. I thought you would stay in Beichen for a few more days. After all, Mr. Tu Su is still there."
"I heard Huo Sichan talk about Sister Shen Yao's situation, so I have to rush back to take charge of the situation."
“…”
The four of them walked away, and someone murmured in a low voice: "That man just now was Luo Yuting?!"
