Chapter 84 The Exclusive Seat in the Back Seat
Chapter 84
A milk tea shop on the street.
Jin Ran put away her phone and looked up at the person opposite her.
Unlike when she "harassed" Wei Ya last time, Jian Er seemed like a completely different person this time. She still looked stupid, but not ridiculously stupid.
She picked up her coffee and took a leisurely sip.
"I have limited time, so just say what you need to say."
Jian Er subconsciously wanted to hold the woman's hand, but Jin Ran avoided it with disgust. He was about to lash out when he suddenly remembered that Jin Ran had repeatedly told him to keep a low profile, so he had to suppress his dissatisfaction: "You said that as long as you got Jiang Mingxu on your side, you would definitely help me take over the Jian family. It's been half a year now, when are you going to keep your promise?"
Jin Ran paused, her fingers pausing: "Handle Jiang Mingxu?"
“You said it yourself: if I’m willing to break up with you and let you marry Jiang Mingxu instead of Jin Jing, you’ll give me half of the money.”
Although the original statement was that they would find a way to transfer funds after Jiang Mingxu became the "richest man," and he had just had enough of Jin Ran's temper at the time, he pretended to agree to the plan, but in reality, he was breaking up with her.
But Jian Er would never admit it right now. There are priorities, and the old man has been getting colder and colder to him lately, probably thinking of changing the heir.
Fortunately, the company wasn't run by the old man alone. Jian Er planned to smooth things over with the other directors. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come directly to us.
Thinking of this, a sinister glint flashed in Jian Er's eyes: "I know Jiang Mingxu's money is hard to transfer. How about this, you give me some money first to help me get through this crisis."
Jin Ran suppressed the shock in her heart.
She only guessed that the original owner had a purpose, but she didn't expect that the other party had also brought in helpers. It seemed that the original owner planned to "take advantage of her and then take her away completely"?
Haha, what a big face!
He had intended to play along, but after hearing these words, he suddenly couldn't hold back any longer: "Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying."
"Are you going to back out?" Jian Er's expression changed. Noticing that the people around them were looking this way, he had to lower his voice: "Ranran, stop messing around. You don't want me to tell Jiang Mingxu, do you?"
He lowered his stance, seemingly seeking peace and showing weakness, but in reality, every word he uttered was a naked threat.
He expected to see Jin Ran terrified, uneasy, and begging for mercy in pain, but Jin Ran wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she said, "I can try."
"Try what?"
“Tell Jiang Mingxu, and see if he believes you or me.”
Jin Ran widened her eyes dramatically: "What, you're not scared, are you? Or should I help you call it?"
Before Jian Er could react, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
And Jian Er just watched helplessly as the person she threatened turned into someone who actively helped her "threaten".
That's just outrageous.
Even more outrageous, after the call was connected, Jiang Mingxu, after listening to Jin Ran's affected words, not only was not angry, but instead said to him, "Jin Ran is now my wife, please respect yourself, Mr. Jian, and do not disturb us anymore."
Over the phone, the oppressive tone of the man's voice made Jian Er break out in a cold sweat. His Adam's apple bobbed several times, but he couldn't utter a single word.
His legs were already trembling.

Jiang Xuli ran out of the school gate, but did not see Jin Ran at the agreed place.
He muttered a few words of dissatisfaction and was about to make a phone call when he suddenly saw a woman walk out of a milk tea shop, followed by a man.
The man looked somewhat familiar. Jiang Xuli squinted and stared at him for a while before vaguely remembering that he seemed to be the shoehorn-shaped man she had met during her last mountain climb.
Yes, one of his stepmother's ex-boyfriends.
Jiang Xuli immediately perked up and his first reaction was to call his father. It wasn't that he suspected Jin Ran, but he was worried that she was being bullied!
After all, he remembered that the shoehorn had a habit of harassing female comrades. He had harassed one female comrade back then, and now that he was going back to Jin Ran, he definitely had ill intentions.
But just before he was about to dial the number, he stopped.
Jiang Xuli frowned. Although he believed Jin Ran wouldn't do anything, what if his father misunderstood? So after hesitating for a long time, he gave up on calling for outside help and went over himself.
They were quite far apart. At first, Jiang Xuli thought the two were just chatting. But as soon as she got a little closer, a harsh, threatening voice reached her ears. Jiang Xuli was stunned, and then she was filled with rage.
In Wencheng, Jiang Xuli is number one, and no one dares to claim second place. So he is always the one who makes others suffer losses, and no one dares to act presumptuously in front of him. As for Jin Ran, she has long been included in his protective circle. Bullying her is equivalent to provoking him personally.
With her knuckles cracking, Jiang Xuli rushed forward without a word and delivered a hard punch to the man's face.
Jian Er, who was trying to get money by playing the victim card, was knocked to the ground.
Simplified Chinese: ? ? ?
What kind of brat came from, causing this madness to happen to him!
Seeing this, Jin Ran grabbed Jiang Xuli's hand and ran into the crowd.
By the time Jian Er realized what was happening and tried to chase after them, the two had already disappeared.
"Hold!"
Having failed in his attempt to steal a chicken, Jian Er kicked the curb hard.
Instead of reflecting on his own problems, he blamed all his anger on Jin Ran's "deception".
Just then, an electric scooter honked its horn behind them, and a pedestrian with an A city accent cursed, "Good dog doesn't block the way!" Jian Er reluctantly moved to the inside of the road.
Filled with anger at being tricked, he didn't notice that the two people riding the electric bike looked somewhat familiar.
Only after they had gone some distance did the woman sitting in the back seat take off her mask, revealing Jin Ran's exquisite and beautiful face.
"Pfft..."
She turned her face away, but still couldn't help but laugh out loud. Her slender white fingers gripped the armrest tightly, and her shoulders trembled slightly with her laughter.
As he steered the electric scooter, Jiang Xuli smiled. Although it was his first time riding an electric scooter, he handled it with ease thanks to his skilled motorcycle driving experience.
Neither of them mentioned what had just happened.
However, to avoid running into Jian Er again, Jiang Xuli did not immediately return to school. Instead, she rode her electric scooter around the neighborhood, when she suddenly remembered something: "Uh, where's my gift?"
Jin Ran's voice still carried a hint of amusement: "Didn't you already get it?"
"Um?"
“This is the electric bike,” Jin Ran patted the boy on the back with a smile. “I checked, you’ll be sixteen after your birthday, which meets the age requirement for riding an electric bike.”
Jiang Xuli: "..."
I couldn't help but recall the embarrassing scene when the two of them were stopped by the traffic police for driving without a license last time.
He can't ride a motorcycle before he turns eighteen, which means he's been relying on Jinran's rides lately. But Jinran doesn't always go the same way as him except when she's going to school. Having an electric scooter would definitely solve a lot of his problems.
only……
Jiang Xuli frowned inwardly. If his gang found out that the school bully had switched to riding an electric bike, his reputation at school would be greatly diminished.
Jin Ran admired the boy's conflicted expression for a while, then feigned a drawn-out sigh: "Oh, so you don't like it? This is a new style that I picked out after a long time, and the color is even my lucky color..."
"No, it's not that I don't like it."
Jiang Xuli snapped out of her daze and, hearing the woman's disappointed tone, blurted out almost without thinking, "I'm just a little too surprised."
For some reason, he didn't want to see her disappointed.
Jin Ran's lips curled up: "Really? That's great! Driving is too much trouble. From now on, when I'm not driving, you and the dog will be the ones picking me up from school."
It was supposed to be a gift for him, but in the blink of an eye, it was all arranged and disposed of.
Jiang Xuli's ears turned slightly red, but she still stubbornly said, "Who said I was going to pick you up..."
"Oh?" Jin Ran blinked. "Do you want to give someone else a ride?"
She thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, and said with a hint of teasing, "If I had a girlfriend, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to sit in this reserved spot. Young girls care about these things the most..."
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuli was so startled she almost jumped out of the car. "I'll say it again, I don't have a girlfriend!"
"Oh dear, why are you in such a hurry? If you don't have it now, you'll have it later. We parents are very optimistic."
Even at sixteen, a year older, Jiang Xuli couldn't escape the fate of being treated as a "toy" by adults. In the end, he simply gave up and declared, "I'll let you sit! Even if... even if there's someone else in the future, I'll still let you sit!"
That evening after school, Jin Ran left her private car in the school parking lot and naturally got on the back seat of the brand-new electric scooter.
Back at Shuoguo Bay, the butler saw the young master's new mount and smiled kindly and gently, without revealing any of his true feelings. He even reserved a spot for it in the garage.
Half an hour later, Jiang Mingxu returned.
He was dressed in a suit and tie, carrying a cake in his hand.
Upon seeing this, Jin Ran happily went to greet her: "Do you have what I want?"
"Yes, they're all inside." Jiang Mingxu lowered his eyes, a barely perceptible smile appearing at the corner of his eyes, and handed the cake box to her.
"That's great! I've been looking for it for so long and couldn't find it. Jiang Mingxu, you're amazing!"
Not far away, Jiang Xuli, who was initially a little embarrassed and pretending to be reserved, couldn't help but move closer when she saw the two adults talking about something.
Then I saw that my cake was completely blank.
Jiang Xuli: "?"
Jin Ran took out a cream jar, squeezed the fragrant cream into a piping bag, and enthusiastically gave one to each of the father and son: "No cake made by others is as meaningful as one made by hand. In order to give my child an unforgettable birthday, I decided to make a cake by hand."
Jiang Xuli: "..."
He pointed to the cake, which was completely finished except for the lack of a design, and said speechlessly, "You call this what you call making it yourself?"
Jin Ran replied matter-of-factly, "Even decorating with paper flowers is something I do myself. I don't even decorate my own birthday."
Jiang Xuli paused for a moment, then asked, feigning indifference, "Um, where's my dad?"
"He gave me a piece of clothing for my birthday. I remember he bought you one too."
Jiang Xuli's lips twitched, but she finally couldn't help but smile. How childish! But for the sake of her feelings, she decided to let it go. He had a good temper, so she would reluctantly play along with her antics this time.
Even so, he was more excited than anyone else when he got the bag for decorating. It was his first time doing something like this, and with his family by his side, he felt both excited and warm: "What should I decorate? How about I just write a few words? It's simple."
Over there, Jin Ran took out her phone: "Don't worry, I've already found the designs."
After saying that, he showed the picture to everyone: a green frog with swollen eyes, with two big characters written next to it: "Lonely and widowed".
Jiang Xuli: "..."
He suddenly regretted agreeing so quickly.
