Chapter 88 Don't worry, I'm here for you (Revision...)
Chapter 88
However, a counterattack should not be launched without preparation.
Jin Ran pondered the commonalities among these people: they were all tempted by the original owner's "plan," and now that they hadn't seen any results, they were feeling dissatisfied.
That's why they try to use one or two "accidents" as a reminder.
Jin Ran sneered, pondered for a moment, and then asked Jiang Mingxu about Jian Er's information.
She was certain he wouldn't remain indifferent after learning who had wronged her; she was confident in that. Otherwise, what had their time together amounted to? If that were the case, she would simply consider him a good actor. Rather than continuing to be sincere with someone who was actually feigning affection, she might as well find an opportunity to divorce him, just like in the beginning.
Sensing an unfriendly gaze, Jiang Mingxu hugged the person in his arms even tighter: "What do you want to do?"
It's about how to do it, not what to do.
Understanding the unspoken meaning, Jin Ran smiled and let the man hug her: "Flies may not cause harm, but they're annoying when they keep buzzing around your ear. Does he have any dirt on you?"
There are too many things that could be used against you.
Jian Er, relying on being the only child of the Jian family, has always acted without fear. Over the years, he has probably done too many outrageous things to count himself. For example, he used funds to support a minor celebrity. At the time, Jiang Mingxu only let out a little bit of news, and the other party was stripped of his real power in the company.
But the Jian family couldn't bear to give up on their only son. On the surface, they were heartless and cold towards him, but in secret, they continued to provide him with resources.
Do you remember what happened on the mountain?
Jin Ran only vaguely recalled: "The time Jian Er harassed Wei Ya?"
At the time, she was familiar with the plot and kept her distance from the female lead, watching her entanglements with the male supporting characters from the sidelines. She never expected that one of the male supporting characters would get involved with her.
It's worth noting that in the original novel, this young master, a supporting male character, was quite popular and had many loyal fans.
Jiang Mingxu nodded: "He seems to have other plans."
Is there another motive?
What could possibly drive a calculating person to have ulterior motives?
Jin Ran thought of Jiang Mingxu's future richest man identity, and Wei Ya's "ending" as the female lead. She was a well-known actress in the industry, winning awards left and right. Most importantly, the male leads and supporting male characters around her who were infatuated with her were all the chosen ones.
By the way, judging from the timing, the female lead's official love interest, the male lead, should have appeared by now, right?
Jiang Mingxu only discovered after investigating that Jian Er was secretly competing with the Chen family's son.
The Chen family started out in print media, and later shifted their business to online platforms and live streaming. Mingji had almost no contact with them. If it weren't for the fact that he mistakenly thought Wei Ya was a descendant of Jin Ran, Jiang Mingxu would never have paid any attention to her.
But now... the enemy of my enemy is my ally. His subordinates found out a lot of things. Jiang Mingxu kept a backup and sent a copy directly to the young CEO Chen who was making big moves in the company.
He could have handled this himself; it would have just taken a little longer.
But Jiang Mingxu never bothered to waste energy trying to prove his abilities. He believed in a swift and decisive approach, preferring to eliminate future troubles with swift and decisive measures rather than venting personal anger, so that those annoying "flies" could no longer disturb their lives. Seeing the sick person's worried expression, he imitated her and gently rubbed her brow: "I'm sorry, I should have cleaned it up earlier, so they wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the situation."
Jin Ran snapped out of her daze and said with dissatisfaction, "What does this have to do with you?"
She cupped his face, intending to comfort him, but upon touching it, she was surprised to find that the old man's cheeks were somewhat smooth. Without making a sound, she pinched them: "The reason why madmen are madmen is because they don't play by the rules. Even if you deal with it, there's no guarantee that they won't cause other trouble."
"Um."
"If you care, then gather more dirt on Jian Er and make him die."
"Um."
"And Jin Dezhu, he's so cruel to his own daughter, he's heartless!" Jin Ran's mind raced. "Right, aren't our two families going to be linked by marriage? I feel that Grandpa is reasonable, why don't we let him handle it!"
"Um."
She rambled on and on, and no matter what she said, Jiang Mingxu agreed. In the end, Jin Ran was speechless: "Why can you only say 'uh-huh'? Is your true form some kind of 'uh-huh' machine?"
Jiang Mingxu smiled, his gaze fixed on her, deep and focused: "Because you have considered everything very thoroughly, I completely agree."
He paused, then added, "Don't worry, I'm here for you."
Jin Ran immediately shut down the engine.
Strangely enough, if any other man had said that, Jin Ran would have thought he was pretentious and greasy, but since the promise came from Jiang Mingxu, she felt that he would definitely keep it.
Just like every time before.
The sense of urgency in her heart immediately eased. Although she knew that Jian Er and Jin Dezhu would not give up, she was no longer so afraid. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a thief who can only be a thief for a thousand days. Knowing that there was always someone behind her to protect her, Jin Ran was not only not afraid, but was even inspired to fight.
Leaning back, his weight caused Jiang Mingxu to fall unexpectedly onto the bed.
The distance between them suddenly closed, their thick eyelashes were almost touching, and they could even hear each other's breathing clearly.
"I'm serious, Mr. Jiang, you must protect them well." Jin Ran feigned a coquettish tone.
Jiang Mingxu chuckled softly, leaned down and kissed her: "Okay."
A kind heart warms the heart, and the next day, Jinran's cold was mostly cured.
So after taking her medicine, she chose to drive to school.
He had intended to give someone a ride, but unexpectedly, Jiang Xuli hesitated.
Jin Ran: "?"
Jiang Xuli glanced at her: "I ride an electric bike."
Jin Ran: "..."
Teenagers in their adolescence are really hard to understand.
Since that was the case, Jin Ran didn't force her anymore, and instead drove her car from home.
Jiang Xuli, who was left behind, was not in a hurry. First, she leisurely took a rag and cleaned her beloved car, even though she had only bought the car a few days ago.
After cleaning himself up, he called Chen Xunliang and quickly arranged a meeting time. Then, under the watchful eyes of the servants, he left for school.
Everything is as usual.
Everyone could sense that something was brewing beneath the boy's calm exterior.
However, once the car left the villa, it didn't head towards the school as usual, but instead went straight to another destination.
Chen Xunliang had been waiting there for a long time.
Upon seeing him, she immediately said, "I went through several connections to get in touch with him. He was a little wary, but not too much. I just used my cousin's phone to easily trick him into coming out."
Jiang Xuli's expression was cold: "Where is he?"
Chen Xunliang tilted his chin towards the alley: "Just went in, it's still warm."
Jiang Xuli nodded, pulled her hand back to put on her hat, and walked straight in that direction.
He pulled down the hood of his sweatshirt and walked steadily into the alley.
Meanwhile, Jian Er was standing in front of the agreed warehouse, waiting.
The person who contacted him was a well-known investor in the industry, who claimed to be interested in his previous projects and wanted to learn more about them. If this had happened in the past, Jian Er might have been more cautious, but since his family suspended him from his company position, he was eager to prove his abilities and came anyway, almost against his will.
He was so engrossed in imagining his comeback that he didn't notice his surroundings and was suddenly bumped into and stumbled.
"Can't you watch where you're going?" Jian Er looked up angrily, only to be met with a thud of a fist, which made him bend over in pain.
The other party not only did not stop, but became even more aggressive, targeting fleshy areas such as the thighs and buttocks. It hurt terribly but did not leave any marks. Jian Er was beaten and screamed. He did not suspect that it was the investor's fault at all, but only thought that he was being targeted for revenge.
And the people I've recently offended...
A name popped into Jian Er's mind, and he was immediately enraged. How dare a woman hit him? He screamed and prepared to fight back, but he was subdued in no time, and in the end, even his belt was taken away.
When he came to his senses, the scene was deserted, leaving him disheveled and naked, unable to even see the face of the person who had assaulted him.
...
Jin Ran drove to the school and had just parked her car when she suddenly received a WeChat message.
[You dare to scheme against me?! Don't think you can rest easy just because you married a man. I have plenty of ways to deal with you!]
【？】
Who are you?
Jian Er nearly fainted from anger upon seeing the message. She accidentally pulled at her stomach, wincing in pain: "Jin Ran! Don't play dumb! Don't think I don't know you hired someone to beat me up just because there's no CCTV footage. I'm going to the police station to report you!"
Of course, this was just bluffing. There were no wounds, no surveillance footage, and even his pants had disappeared. Even if the police were called, they wouldn't be able to catch the culprit.
He could only rage in a fit of impotence, attempting to instill fear and panic in Jin Ran through insults.
The next second, a red exclamation mark suddenly popped up in the message box.
Simplified Chinese: ? ? ?
On the other side, Jin Ran clapped her hands, looking at the cleaned-up chat page, and her mood returned to its wonderful state.
Fortunately, the other party reminded me that I had actually forgotten to block the spam.
As for Jian Er's claim of "hitting someone," Jin Ran didn't take it to heart at all. How much of what a person who talks nonsense can be believed?
On the first day of resuming work, the teachers in the office expressed their condolences to Jin Ran.
"Teacher Jin, please don't take it to heart."
"Kids these days are really hard to manage; some troublemakers are even beyond their parents' control."
"Who says otherwise? Those troublemakers in my class gave me nicknames behind my back, thinking I didn't know."
Whether it was genuine or not, Jin Ran accepted it all with a smile.
She seemed completely unaffected, and even brought it up herself: "This experience has helped me understand better how to deal with students."
Seeing this, the other teachers, though their true thoughts were unknown, all outwardly echoed the sentiment, creating a harmonious atmosphere in the office.
With no classes in the evening, Jin Ran, who had some free time, took the initiative to contact Wei Ya.
She knew in her heart that Jiang Mingxu would definitely help her, but feelings are mutual. He was good to her, and she didn't want to see him fight alone and become a coward who only hid in the back.
I haven't paid attention for a long time, but when I checked Wei Ya's social media, I was surprised to find that Director Chen's new drama has finished filming and will premiere in the next few days.
When they met, Jin Ran was surprised to find that Wei Ya was almost a completely different person from when they first met.
When they first met, Wei Ya was under pressure from both her career and family. She was like a fragile reed, as if even the slightest breeze could break her.
Now things are different. Having gotten rid of Jian Er's entanglement, the plot of being forced into a complicated relationship with the scumbag male supporting character in the original book will naturally no longer happen. Wei Ya lost the resources provided by the scumbag, but she won the role in Director Chen's script with her own strength and also started her own social media account.
Just as Jin Ran was looking at it, the account already had nearly 200,000 followers.
This means that even if Wei Ya doesn't have any acting roles for a while, she will still have other ways to make a living.
Wei Ya was very grateful to Jin Ran for all of this.
If it weren't for her holding her hand and leading her away from that mountain, and if Jin Ran hadn't revealed the news of Director Chen's new film, she would never have achieved what she has today.
When Wei Ya later learned what Jian Er had done, she was both angry and guilty, thinking that she had implicated Jin Ran.
Jin Ran naturally sensed her thoughts and decisively denied it: "This is an old grudge between him and me, it has nothing to do with you." As she spoke, she handed over the information that Jiang Mingxu had found out, and even told her that Jian Er had ulterior motives for approaching her in the first place. "In short, you must be careful recently."
Wei Ya hadn't expected it to be so complicated.
She gripped the documents tightly, her knuckles turning white.
After a moment of silence, she raised her head as if she had made up her mind: "Actually, I recently met a friend. He has a powerful background. With him around, Jian Er shouldn't dare to make any rash moves."
Upon hearing this, Jin Ran's eyes flickered slightly.
Immediately realizing that the "friend" Wei Ya mentioned was most likely the male protagonist.
This realization put her completely at ease.
The story of a novel can be changed, but one thing will never change: those who oppose the male and female protagonists will never have a good ending.
...
"Oh, right."
Before leaving, Wei Ya thought of something and unconsciously twisted her bag strap. "Director Chen is hosting a celebration banquet next week. Miss Jin, would you be free to come along?"
