Chapter 266 Dispute
Lu Ziyi's words were full of sarcasm, and his brows were furrowed with malice.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran's lips curled slightly, her face showing disdain, and she coldly scoffed, "You, a gigolo, are still barely clinging to life, so it's not my turn yet?"
He paused slightly as he spoke, his sarcasm growing even more pronounced: "Barely managing to squeeze into high society through women, and you still have something to be proud of?"
"What did you say?!" Lu Ziyi was instantly struck where it hurt by Jiang Ran's words, his expression changed drastically, and he looked resentful.
Seeing that he was provoked, Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, glanced at him coldly, and then said in a cold voice, "What? Have you regressed after not seeing you for a few days? Can't you even understand human speech anymore?"
Lu Ziyi was instantly pushed to a breaking point by Jiang Ran. Just as he was about to lash out, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit. He then forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
He suddenly let out a cold laugh: "You really are quick-witted! How come I never noticed you were so eloquent before?"
Jiang Ran sensed the sarcasm in his words and suddenly replied coldly, "Likewise, I never realized you could be so shameless!"
Since the two had completely broken off relations, she no longer needed to feign harmony as before, so she spoke without restraint. Lu Ziyi gradually grew accustomed to the sarcasm in Jiang Ran's words and was no longer as reckless as before. His gaze darkened slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed across his face.
He abruptly changed the subject, asking in a deep voice, "You're so cold to me, don't you have any feelings for us at all?"
Jiang Ran frowned slightly when she saw him suddenly playing the emotional card, wondering what he was up to. Then her eyes sharpened, and she replied coldly, "What are you up to now?"
Lu Ziyi's expression softened slightly, a hint of disdain flickering across his lips as he coldly asked, "What? Can't we even catch up?"
As she spoke, she glanced around, her gaze filled with envy mixed with a hint of disdain, and then continued, "I never expected that the dignified CEO Si would be able to accept someone with such a notorious reputation by his side."
"In that case, how about rekindling our old flame?" Lu Ziyi said sarcastically with a smirk, as if Jiang Ran were someone he could summon and dismiss at will.
Hearing his arrogant words, Jiang Ran's expression suddenly hardened. She then raised her eyes and looked at him coldly, her chin slightly raised, her face showing disdain: "Rekindled old flames? Infamous?"
As he spoke, he suddenly let out a cold laugh.
Lu Ziyi originally thought she would make sarcastic remarks, but to his surprise, she simply shook her head slowly, a mocking look flashing across her face.
Seeing this, Lu Ziyi frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Ran glanced at him coldly, her brows furrowed slightly, and she slowly replied with her thin lips parted: "I laugh at your stupidity without realizing it!"
Lu Ziyi's expression froze for a moment, then Jiang Ranfu continued, "Who do you think you are, daring to point fingers at me? I usually ignore you, but you really think you're someone special?"
Jiang Ran showed no mercy in her words, directly mocking him. Seeing his displeasure, she continued, "Rekindling old flames? You think you're worthy?!"
"What happens between Si Yanxiao and me is his business, what right do you have to interfere?"
"Song Yuqing went bankrupt because of you, and you just kicked her to the curb and immediately hooked up with a rich girl. You really are a model of a gigolo!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyi's expression changed drastically; clearly, Jiang Ran's words had struck a chord with him.
Jiang Ran took in his expression, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
Wasn't he arrogant and self-important? She was determined to tear his pretense apart, to make him fall from grace and face reality!
Compared to her dislike for Song Yuqing, she felt even more disgusted by Lu Ziyi, who turned the tables on her.
It's true what they say, birds of a feather flock together!
Thinking of this, Fu You curled his thin lips slightly and said sarcastically, "Sucking up to the powerful, vanity, greed... there's a whole host of your flaws. Since that's the case, what right do you have to spout nonsense in front of me?!"
"Jiang Ran!" Lu Ziyi's face turned ashen as he coldly hissed.
Seeing his anger, Jiang Ran raised her eyebrows in a flippant manner, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at him.
Lu Ziyi was thoroughly enraged by her cold words. He had been holding back his anger for a long time, and now he finally found an outlet. His face hardened, and he suddenly grabbed her collar, his expression ferocious: "You're asking for death!"
Jiang Ran made no attempt to hide her disgust. Her face turned cold, and she forcefully shook off his arm, shouting sharply, "Get out of my way!"
Caught off guard, Lu Ziyi staggered back a few steps before managing to regain his balance.
Then his brows furrowed suddenly, his anger became more pronounced, and he stared intently at Jiang Ran with a gloomy expression.
Jiang Ran saw the sinister look that suddenly appeared between his brows, and a look of disdain flashed across her face. She lowered her eyes slightly, rubbed her wrist lightly, and then sneered coldly, "You dare to lay a hand on me in the Si family. After all this time, you still haven't grown a brain at all."
Having said that, before Lu Ziyi could refute him, he shouted loudly, "Someone come here!"
Hearing the commotion outside the door, the butler hurriedly entered, followed by several bodyguards. He quickly walked to Jiang Ran's side, nodded slightly, and called out, "Madam."
Jiang Ran's eyes narrowed, and she said coldly, "Throw him out!"
Upon hearing this, the butler's eyes lit up, and he replied repeatedly, "Understood."
Then he turned to look at Lu Ziyi, his gaze suddenly becoming sharp, and waved slightly to the person behind him.
The bodyguards immediately understood and rushed forward to drag Lu Ziyi away without showing any mercy.
Jiang Ran lowered her eyes and coldly watched his back. A strange feeling suddenly rose in her heart. She felt that there was another reason for his visit this time, rather than a simple mockery.
Seeing Jiang Ran deep in thought, the housekeeper assumed she was feeling reluctant and quickly comforted her, saying, "Madam, he deserves what he got, you don't need to worry about it."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran quickly snapped out of her thoughts and replied in a low voice, "Yes, I understand."
"Next time he comes, just kick him out. I feel unlucky if he even sets foot on the Si family's property!"
Her words revealed undisguised disgust. Seeing Jiang Ran's resolute attitude, the butler felt somewhat relieved and readily agreed.
Hearing Lu Ziyi's stern accusations from outside, the butler's expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "I'll go out and handle it."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"etc!"
Suddenly, Jiang Ran called out to stop him from behind. The butler paused slightly, turned around to look at Jiang Ran, and a look of doubt flashed across his face.
Jiang Ran remained indifferent and said coldly, "Don't mention this to anyone else."
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper was slightly taken aback, but immediately realized the deeper meaning behind Jiang Ran's words; she was simply trying to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Thinking of this, he nodded slightly and replied softly, "Okay."
Then Fu turned around and walked outside.
Jiang Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, her brows furrowed, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

"How's the situation overseas?" Si Yanxiao unconsciously rubbed his wristwatch, looked up at the video call on his computer, and asked in a deep voice.
"Everything is as usual." Chen Fei's eyes narrowed slightly as he replied in a low voice, "During the previous market fluctuations, many companies were on the verge of bankruptcy. I took the opportunity to acquire them according to our original plan."
"It's gradually getting back on track now."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression remaining unchanged, as if everything was within his expectations.
"But what about you? How's the situation over there?" Chen Fei suddenly asked. "I heard from Anan that things aren't looking good for you lately."
Si Yanxiao listened to his question, his eyes darkened slightly, and he remembered that the mastermind behind the scenes was still hiding in the shadows and there were no clues. A sinister look flashed across his face.
He then scoffed, "It's nothing, just a bunch of clowns who can't stand the light of day."
"Oh?" Chen Fei's lips curled slightly, and he said teasingly, "I really want to see what kind of person can pester you for so long?"
Just as he finished speaking, his phone on the table buzzed with a message.
Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes and saw a video coming from an unknown number. He frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face, but he still pressed the button to open it.
Jiang Ran and Lu Ziyi were clearly seen in the video. Although they were some distance apart, their words were extremely ambiguous.
Chen Fei saw Si Yanxiao's expression suddenly turn cold and vaguely heard some noise. Before she could ask anything, the phone was abruptly hung up on her.
Si Yanxiao stared coldly at the video, his expression growing increasingly cold. Just then, a sudden knocking sound came from outside the door.
