Chapter 121 Warning
Ji Xia has always been proud and arrogant, and she doesn't bother with people she doesn't think much of. So why is it that this woman is the one who catches her eye?
Lu Ziyi was beaten black and blue. He knew who did it, but he only wanted to let it go. Why was that?
Thinking of this, An Li's eyes sharpened. Unless... the power behind that person was extraordinary.
This makes sense. She and Ji Xia are from the same circle, so it's not surprising that they get along well. Lu Ziyi's constant tolerance is because he's afraid of getting into trouble.
"Who is she?" An Li frowned slightly, her face showing displeasure.
Lu Ziyi pursed his lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "Jiang Ran."
“Jiang Ran…” An Li murmured the name softly, a hint of doubt flashing across her face.
Lu Ziyi chimed in from the side, "It's Mrs. Si."
"It's her?" An Li was taken aback upon hearing this, and then a look of shock appeared on her face.
The incident involving the Si family back then was a major news story in the business world, and it became a popular topic of conversation among business people.
Moreover, no one would have imagined that the Si family, a leading enterprise, would choose a woman with no background as their wife.
Not to mention that Jiang Ran has always had a bad reputation in this circle and is known for her arrogance and domineering attitude.
It was only because she had never had direct contact with Jiang Ran and had only heard about her that she had never met him.
Then she scoffed, "That's not surprising. I've heard that she's always been a flirt and people laugh at her."
"I don't know how the Si family could tolerate such a promiscuous woman."
After saying that, his face instantly turned even colder, and his voice became low.
Lu Ziyi carefully observed An Li's changing expression and added fuel to the fire, saying, "But I heard that Si Yanxiao didn't mention these things when he woke up recently."
"Are we just going to let her do whatever she wants? But how is her behavior any different from that of a bandit?"
As Lu Ziyi spoke, he righteously and vehemently accused Jiang Ran of wrongdoing, and An Li listened with displeasure.
He pursed his lips slightly, then spoke in a cold voice: "She dares?!"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Lu Ziyi and said in a deep voice, "Ziyi, don't worry. This is her problem. If the Si family pretends not to see it, then I don't need to give that woman any face."
"At worst, we'll just make things ugly for both sides!"
Seeing that An Li's emotions had reached a critical point, Lu Ziyi nodded and then lowered his eyes slightly, just enough to conceal the triumphant look in his eyes.
He knew very well that the Si Group, as a mainstay in the business world, could never be compared to the An Group.
Although the An Group is not to be underestimated, it is far from being a match for the Si Group. However, such matters do not require the two groups to be opposing factions.
His goal was to provoke An Li's anger and make her fight with Jiang Ran. Although Jiang Ran was the wife of the Si family, judging from her previous actions, she wouldn't stay in that position for long.
Jiang Ran dared to scheme against me step by step until I ended up in this state, so don't blame me for being ruthless!
After An Li finished speaking, she put her plan into practice early the next morning, but she couldn't find Jiang Ran even after searching for several days.
She couldn't even get into the Si family villa, with the excuse that Si Yanxiao was unwell and in recovery, and that outsiders were not allowed to enter.
"Damn it!" Anli was at her wit's end and couldn't help but curse.
Then his eyes lit up, and he quickly took out his phone and dialed a number. It rang twice before being answered.
Anli spoke first, saying, "Help me investigate someone."
"Okay, send me the message." A low voice replied, "Same as always, transfer the money to the card."
"Mmm," An Li responded softly, then hung up the phone.
Not long after, a message came through on my phone, detailing Jiang Ran's personal information and the businesses under her name.
"Online store?" An Li noticed the word, a look of surprise flashed across her face, and then she sneered.
Then, a glint flashed in his eyes, and a conspiracy gradually formed in his mind.
————
Jiang Ran lowered her eyes to look at the data in the online store's backend, her expression growing increasingly grim.
In the past few days, due to the promotion of summer, orders have increased significantly, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
With her exceptional ability to predict the future, she resolved all their complaints one by one.
Looking at her five-star rating, she felt a sense of pride welling up inside her.
But overnight, all sorts of malicious negative reviews suddenly appeared in the store, as if they had appeared out of nowhere.
Jiang Ran looked displeased. She clicked the mouse and entered the interface of those who left negative reviews, only to find that these people had simply placed orders without asking her to calculate the costs.
This shows that they don't need metaphysical fortune telling at all, but are deliberately framing someone!
Then his eyes flashed, a fierce look appeared on his face, and he calculated with his fingers that An Li was the mastermind behind all of this.
He then calculated her location and headed straight for her residence.
"Miss, there's someone outside who claims to be named Jiang Ran and wants to see you," the bodyguard said in a low voice.
"Let her in." An Li showed no surprise, clearly expecting Jiang Ran's arrival.
The bodyguard responded, then opened the door and waved to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran slowly walked in, lowered her eyes to look at An Li, her brows furrowed slightly, and her face showed displeasure.
Looking at Jiang Ran, An Li narrowed her eyes, her gaze thoughtful, and sat on the sofa playing with her nails.
He scoffed coldly, "Oh, what brings Mrs. Si here?"
His words were full of sarcasm, but Jiang Ran didn't care at all.
Without responding, he coldly said, "You hired someone to maliciously leave negative reviews for my store." His words were unquestioning and full of certainty.
Anli could tell from her tone that she already knew the truth, and without hiding anything, she directly and frankly admitted what she had done.
"It's me, so what?"
As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow, displaying a typical "what's the use of trying" attitude.
Their gazes were fixed on Jiang Ran. Their eyes met, and in the blink of an eye, their gazes had already crossed tens of thousands of times in the air, with an invisible smoke of battle faintly permeating the surroundings.
Seeing that An Li readily acknowledged the situation, Jiang Ran's face flashed with displeasure, and her brows furrowed slightly: "Are you deliberately targeting me?"
Before An Li could reply, she continued, "No wonder... it's probably because of Lu Ziyi."
Hearing Jiang Ran mention Lu Ziyi's name, and recalling what she had done, An Li was furious.
His expression hardened, a fierce look appearing on his face, and he angrily rebuked, "How dare you mention him?"
"You maliciously slandered him everywhere and beat him up like that. If you can't have him, you'll destroy him. Jiang Ran, you really are something else!"
The sarcasm in her words was obvious. Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran's lips curled slightly, a hint of mockery flashing across her face.
"Malicious fabrication?" Jiang Ran suddenly chuckled, as if she had just heard a joke.
"And I hit him? That's what he told you?"
Hearing Jiang Ran's question, An Li's face showed a hint of confusion, and she replied coldly, "That's the truth."
"Facts?" Jiang Ran scoffed. "What? You saw it with your own eyes? You're concluding it's true based on his one-sided account?"
"Otherwise what?" An Li frowned slightly and asked, "Do you mean he still believes you even if you don't?"
Jiang Ran shrugged, a mocking look on her face, and casually replied, "There's no need for that. Someone as love-struck as you is naturally no match for him."
After saying that, his eyes flashed, and a hint of sympathy appeared in his gaze as he looked at her.
Before An Li could retort, Jiang Ran continued, "I've never liked meddling in other people's business, and I was originally going to keep quiet about it, but I couldn't bear to see you jumping into a fire pit."
He paused slightly, looked down at An Li, and saw a puzzled look on her face. An Li urged him, "What do you mean by that?"
"His greatest skill is being two-faced, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back. He speaks a mix of truth and falsehood. Whether you listen to him or not, I have to warn you."
"Stay away from him! It'll only make things worse for you."
Jiang Ran frowned slightly, then spoke again sternly, "Also, don't bother trying to target me. Giving me bad reviews is useless. I think your actions are extremely stupid."
An Li's expression changed upon hearing this: "You!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Ran lowered his eyes to look at her abdomen, his eyes thoughtful, and then he slowly spoke.
"You should spend more time on yourself; your child is doomed."
Having said that, he ignored Anli's expression and turned to leave.
