Chapter 50, You are the daughter of his enemy
The moment I saw the man's appearance clearly, memories flooded into my mind uncontrollably.
"Ranran~Come here~Look at the birthday present I bought you~Haven't you always wanted a teddy bear? Isn't it cute?"
"Not cute. Ugly."
"Wow! How could you ruin my kindness like this? I'm so hurt..."
"Brother, I won't tell grandpa about your premature love. Can you not be so disgusting?"
"Uh, girl, why are you exposing me? You're not cute at all~"
…
"Ranran~"
"Shen Yang! Don't call me in such a disgusting tone!"
"Okay, Jiang Ran, why are you hiding here crying secretly? Who bullied you? Tell me, I'll beat him so hard that he won't even recognize his mother!"
…
"Ranran~Come here, look at this cake, isn't it beautiful? I made it for you personally, happy birthday~"
"So ugly... Big Brother, please let the kitchen go, and let me go. I don't want to continue helping you taste test food. It will kill me!"
"How can it be so exaggerated?"
"Also, don't think I don't know, your new girlfriend's birthday is in two days—you're using me as a guinea pig, I'm going to tell Grandpa you're having a puppy love!"
"No, no! My dear sister! Ranran! If you let me go, I won't dare to do it again next time! Really, I swear! I can give you all my pocket money!"
"snort."
…
Amidst the chaos, Shen Yang caught sight of a man standing motionless in the crowd.
As early as when Gu Yunqing and Su Qin came back, he knew that Si Xu, the big devil, was also coming back. Shen Yang sighed in his heart: What bad luck, how come he ran into this plague god when he was on patrol?
Look at the look in his eyes. It's just a woman, but he's been holding a grudge for so long! If he'd known Yu Huang was so unreliable, he shouldn't have agreed to help him... Half a year has passed, the Shen family is now in power, and Si Xu has a new woman by his side... Huh?
Shen Yang blinked, stared at Jiang Ran for a while, and slowly revealed an expression of disbelief: "Ran...Ranran?"
Is it Ranran? The pretty girl standing next to Si Xu, is she his Ranran?
After the disaster broke out, the people from Group Z searched the entire Shenmu City but couldn't find any trace of her... How could she be with Si Xu?
"Ranran? Is it really you?" Shen Yang rushed in front of Jiang Ran, pinched her face with his hands, tears welling up in his eyes, "Ranran~ You're not dead! That's great!"
Jiang Ran, who was a little slow due to the influx of memories, did not hesitate to throw the man to the ground with a skillful shoulder throw the moment the man stretched out his fingers.
"Shen Yang! Don't touch my face!"
"Ah!" The man was thrown heavily to the ground, groaning and unable to get up for a long time.
Si Xu put down his raised hand again.
He stared at Jiang Ran for a long time without moving.
Jiang Ran is Shen Yang's sister... In Shen Yang's generation, the Shen family has only one daughter, Shen Yao, who works in his laboratory.
How could Shen Yang have any younger sister?
Oh... there's another possibility.
Si Xu slowly clenched his hands hanging by his side into fists.
Shen Lang has a daughter, Shen Muxin, who is married to Jiang Yize, a professor of genetic engineering at Shenmu University - if Jiang Ranran is Shen Muxin's daughter, she is also Shen Yang's sister.
Jiang Ran, Jiang Yize.
Jiang Ran...is the daughter of Jiang Yize and Shen Muxin?
Jiang Ran is Jiang Yize's daughter.
After understanding this fact, Si Xu calmly took two steps back and avoided Jiang Ran's outstretched hand.
"Si Xu?" His hands were empty, and Jiang Ran subconsciously looked at him, looking into his emotionless peach blossom eyes, "Si Xu, I..."
"Are you Jiang Yize's daughter?" Although he was already certain of this guess, the man seemed unwilling to give up and asked word by word, "Really? Jiang Ran?"
Since she was using Jiang Ranran's body, she was destined to be unable to sever her blood relationship with the Shen family. Jiang Ran bit her lip and nodded almost imperceptibly: "Yes."
Si Xu: “…”
He stared at Jiang Ran quietly for a long time, then suddenly curled his lips and said, "You're fine, Jiang Ran."
——Very good. Along the way, she said nothing and explained nothing. After knowing his relationship with the Shen family, she chose to remain silent.
——Good, really good. This little girl in front of me is so smart.
——He underestimated her.
When he thought of her relationship with Jiang Yize, there was a moment when he had the urge to break her neck.
Before murderous intent replaced his rationality, he turned and left without any regret, passing by her as if she were just a stranger.
In just a blink of an eye, the young man disappeared in the crowd.
Jiang Ran was stunned. She couldn't utter the explanation she had prepared. She could only stand there with her mouth open. Wait! That guy just ran away like that! She could explain it! Things were not what he thought!
"Ranran~" Shen Yang stretched out a hand with difficulty on the ground, shaking it tremblingly, "Help your brother, let me~"
“…” It’s all because of this bastard! If he hadn’t harmed Pei Wan’er, why would Si Xu be so hostile to the Shen family?! The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Jiang Ran stepped on the man’s delicate face, stepped over him, and ran after Si Xu.
"Ouch!" Shen Yang screamed as he was stepped on. He rubbed the tip of his nose. "You little bitch! If I get disfigured, I'll never let you go!"
The team members who had seen enough of the show came forward to help their captain up.
"Captain, that girl just now was..."
"That's my sister!" Ignoring the shoe prints on his face, Shen Yang glared at his subordinates, "Why don't you quickly arrange for someone to follow her! Can't you see my sister is just an ordinary person! If she gets bullied, I'll beat you to death!"
“Yes, yes, yes!”
"Also! Don't try to get your hands on my Ranran! Otherwise I'll cut off your third leg! Got it?!"
“I know, I know, I know!”
…
After running all the way, Jiang Ran successfully got himself lost.
She didn't catch up with Si Xu and didn't know where she was now.
With a somewhat discouraged sigh, Jiang Ran found a step to sit down, pounded his legs, and glanced at the corner of the building.
"Did Shen Yang arrange for you to follow me?" Jiang Ran looked at the dark clouds gathering in the sky. "Do you know where Professor Si lives?"
The psychic in the corner who thought he was hiding perfectly: "...I know."
"Please take me there, thank you."
…
Because it is an important high-rise building, the base has arranged a separate apartment for Si Xu. On the third floor, it has a large independent balcony with plenty of sunlight.
Standing downstairs, you can see the lights shining in the room through the balcony.
Jiang Ran thanked the psychic who led the way again: "Thank you, please go back and explain the situation to Shen Yang and tell him not to worry about me."
"..." Just go back like this? Captain Shen will really break our legs!
…
Jiang Ran ran up the stairs without stopping, stopped at the door of the apartment, took a deep breath, and was about to knock on the door when he heard the voice of a strange woman coming from the entrance.
"Seventh Brother, I'm glad you're back safely. I've left the things on the table. Please check them when you have time. I'll be leaving first."
"Um."
"By the way, Seventh Brother, I heard from Yunqing that you met a girl when you went out this time. How come I didn't see..."
"Throw it away."
"Throw it away?" The woman smiled, her tone nonchalant. "If it's not suitable, it's better to separate sooner rather than later."
"Um."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first... Brother Qi, you should have a good rest. I'll come back tomorrow to report on the recent situation at the base."
"Um."
…
Jiang Ran's hand that was about to knock on the door froze in mid-air, and the door was opened from the inside.
The woman stood at the door, looking at her in surprise, a cold and arrogant expression on her delicately made-up face: "Who are you? Did you come to the wrong place?"
Jiang Ran put down her hand and stared at the woman in front of her coldly: "Who am I and what does it have to do with you? I'm not looking for you." She walked around her and wanted to go into the house.
"Wait." The woman raised her hand to block the door and lowered her voice, "Are you Jiang Ranran?"
Did she know who she was? Hearing her tone and combining it with the way she addressed him just now, Jiang Ran guessed her identity: "Wei Yage, nice to meet you. I'm Jiang Ran."
"You know me?" The woman raised an eyebrow and sneered, "It seems that the Shen family has high hopes for you—you went to such great lengths to get close to Seventh Brother and even investigated everyone around him thoroughly..."
"It seems like you have a strong sense of crisis." Jiang Ran, facing a love rival, stood up with all her thorns. "I haven't even returned to the base yet, and you already know everything about my life."
"A sense of crisis?" Wei Yage didn't deny it. Her eyes were sympathetic. "Yes, but fortunately, I don't need to worry about it now."
Without waiting for Jiang Ran to reply, Wei Yage glanced into the room. After making sure she hadn't disturbed Si Xu in the study, she grabbed Jiang Ran's wrist and pulled her out of the hallway.
"Do you want to know why Si Xu abandoned you? If you want to know, come with me and don't disturb him."
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, loosened his grip on the door, and followed Wei Yage downstairs.
…
Hearing the familiar footsteps fading away, the man in the room who was holding a book but couldn't read a single word tried to hold back, but couldn't hold back his anger and slammed the book on the table.
…
When they got downstairs, Wei Yage let go of her wrist, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands carefully, as if he had just touched something dirty.
Ignoring her obvious provocation, Jiang Ran yawned, "If you have anything to say to sow discord, hurry up and say it—after that, I have to go upstairs to find Si Xu."
"You still want to go up and look for him?" Wei Yage sighed, "Jiang Ranran, it seems you don't understand Seventh Brother's thoughts at all."
"I know." Jiang Ran spread his hands. "So you see, I'm going to go up and coax him, right? I know you've never seen this before, but when that guy gets angry, he needs to be coaxed properly."
Is this woman showing off to her? Wei Yage looked at Jiang Ran: I have to admit that Jiang Ranran inherited the good looks of the Shen family. Just relying on this face, she can also seduce many men.
Unfortunately, precisely because she is a member of the Shen family, or more precisely, because she is Jiang Yize's daughter, she does not need to have any sense of crisis.
"Jiang Ranran, do you know who Si Xu is?"
Wei Ya Ge wasn't a brainless fool like Zhou Jian. As the novel's second female lead, she was incredibly intelligent throughout. Every word she said and every action she took had a purpose. Suddenly changing the subject, Jiang Ran remained vigilant and didn't respond.
"Have you heard of the Beichen Huo family?"
“…” Sorry, I’ve never heard of it.
"Si Xu is the eldest son of Huo Zhiju, the eldest daughter of the Huo family."
From what Wei Yage said, the Huo family seemed quite powerful. Jiang Ran asked, "If they are from the Huo family, why are they in the lab?"
"Because it's an illegitimate child," Wei Yage said lazily, one hand on her waist. "Huo Zhiju was already engaged to the young master of the Pei family, but she got pregnant before marriage. The Huo family wouldn't allow such a scandal to happen to their daughter, so Huo Zhiju had no choice but to give birth to the child in secret and ask her best friend to take the child away."
Staring at the silent Jiang Ran, Wei Yage smiled faintly: "That good friend is your father, Jiang Yize."

Today's update ends. The following are the author's ramblings. If you don't like it, you can ignore it.
This article will be published tomorrow, and there will be more updates tomorrow, so stay tuned~
Actually, when I first started writing novels, I simply wanted to share my thoughts. I was feeling a bit down at the time, so I came up with a sweet story, a simple, heartwarming tale of good and evil finally being rewarded. So, Dusk Brings Dawn. I didn't expect to get a contract when I was writing it. I'm truly grateful to the editor for his unwavering support. [Bow]
After Dusk, it was "The Bride of Demons and Gods." Honestly, "The Bride" was a story I'd been brewing for a long time. It was the easiest one to write, and one I'm personally very satisfied with. I wouldn't say I got depressed looking back at some chapters, haha. In fact, the original intention of "The Bride" was to write a heartwarming story—all kinds of monsters, gentle and kind people... I seem to be particularly fond of this kind of story.
As a result, the "Flower Bride" was removed from the shelves because it involved the ghost marriage. I was very upset at that time [laughing and crying]
Then, I wanted to try my hand at the entertainment industry, so I started writing You Are More Alluring Than the Stars. As I wrote it down, I realized I'm still better at depicting fantastical worlds, because once my imagination gets going, it's hard to stop. However, pure modern writing requires more rigor. I'll be honest, it's mainly because modern settings don't allow for easy writing, and my own skills and writing style still don't achieve the desired effect. [I was slapped in the face]
After the completion of Galaxy, this is the book of time travel.
I'm really happy that this book is loved by so many readers. I read every comment carefully, although most of them are urging for updates. I have been thinking about this book for a long time. There are several plots that I thought of a long time ago (probably when I was writing the bride). I am very happy that I can finally present them in this story.
Those who have read my other stories will find that I actually like characters with innocent hearts. Many characters in my stories have this characteristic, like Chao Yan and Ning Beiheng, except for the pure villains.
Gentle, kind, decisive, respects life but not a sanctimonious bitch... Si Xu is not a naive person. He is the villain and is destined to be set up differently from other protagonists from the beginning.
In fact, Ranran in my mind also has this kind of personality. In the setting, Ranran is a growing female protagonist. She knows the difficulties of many people's lives in the end times, and also understands the weight of life after the disaster. Maybe some of her behaviors seem a bit saintly in the eyes of the little cuties who are used to reading the cool stories with strong heroines, but she is really not a saintly bitch, believe me [shout]
I found that I was talking a lot of nonsense. I wrote so much mainly to talk about my psychological journey since I started writing the story. By the way, I would like to briefly explain the characters of Qi Ge and Ran Ran in this story, so that everyone can have a general idea and avoid wasting money (after it is put on the shelves, it will be charged by word count like all Hongxiu's novels).
