Chapter 604: 311 Defeat (Second Update)

The Ran house was at this moment shrouded in low pressure, the servants even held their breath while walking.

Master Xiao’s subordinates approached hurriedly, then left hastily.

Ran Tenghui hustled out foolishly, and Ran Tengxiao ordered people to beat him up and throw him into the garden.

In this cold weather, he’d almost freeze to death.

It seemed Master Xiao was genuinely furious this time.

Ye Jian hurriedly came in, “Master Xiao, it’s Zhao Gan, an arrest warrant for him has already been officially issued by the police station throughout the city.”

They were able to somewhat guess what was on Ran Qing’s mind, but she wouldn’t be stupid enough to act under these circumstances.

But in any case, Ran Qing was bound to take the blame for this.

“How’s Ming Jing?”

Ye Jian stole a glance at Ran Tengxiao’s expression: “An update just came from the hospital, Miss Ming Jing has gotten a bit of a hand injury, she has already been treated and is now back home.”

The pressure in the living room instantly dropped even lower.

The butler then walked in, “Young Master, Miss Qing and her cousin have arrived.”

“Tell them to fuck off.” Right now, the last people Ran Tengxiao wanted to see were them.

The old butler tremblingly turned around and walked out.

Ran Tengxiao glanced at Ye Jian, “You take care of this.”

Ye Jian stiffened, “Yes.”

After Ye Jian left, Ran Tengxiao tugged the corner of his lips and dialed Lin Feng’s number.

“She sent me a big gift, so of course, I have to return the favor. She should be sitting at home now, leisurely drinking tea, but soon she won’t be able to laugh anymore.”

The opening salvo had been fired, and from here on, it was do or die.

“Uncle Hao, please let me in, I have something very important to discuss with Tengxiao.”

“Miss Qing, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but the mess you made this time is too big, Master Xiao is really furious, seeing you would make him angrier.”

“But....”

The old butler patted her shoulder, “Miss Qing, you are after all a part of the same family, the young master won’t ignore you. Your best help to Master Xiao right now would be if you behave and stay at home.”

Zhao Qin grabbed Ran Qing’s hand, “Mother, let’s listen to the butler Grandpa. Let’s go home first.”

The old butler smiled, “Miss Zhao is a smart person, she knows what to do.”

Zhao Qin nodded her head, “Thank you Butler Grandpa for the advice.”

As Zhao Qin left with Ran Qing, Ran Qing said grumpily: “I haven’t even seen Ran Tengxiao yet, how can I just leave? I am his aunt, if I hadn’t supported him earlier, Ran Yang wouldn’t have been able to fight those cousins, where would he get the prestige he has today? How can he just turn his face and not recognize me?”

Zhao Qin said in a stern voice, “Mother, you should never say these things again. If they reach cousin’s ears, it will just irritate him. No matter how he got his position, he is the one in charge of the Ran family now. Holding onto favors returned would only wear away the last bit of kindness.”

“And besides, cousin will definitely clean up this mess, not only are you his aunt, but you are also a member of the Ran family. If one part is honored, all share in it, if one part is hurt, all parts share in it, obviously, cousin understands this principle better than you.”

Ran Qing paused, turned her head to look at Zhao Qin, and suddenly realized that her daughter had grown up and was much more stable, doing things in a more organized manner than her.

Ran Qing revealed a hint of comfort in her eyes, “I am just afraid he will take action against Zhuque Hall.”

“Cousin dislikes people who don’t obey, as long as you behave and just be a good person, nothing will happen.”

Ran Qing of course understood this principle, “Let it be, let it be. I’m old, my health is getting worse, and I can’t fight anymore, Zhuque Hall will be entrusted to you in the future.”

Huahua pursed her lips, “Madam, rest assured, that day will come.”

This was the first time Madam had voluntarily mentioned her deceased husband.

Outside the window, the last rays of the setting sun disappeared, the moonlight spread over the treetops.

The long and dark night was coming.

Zhou Xue rushed in: “Madam, something has happened.”

With a “click”, the fresh lily Jiang Chunlan was trimming was cut off.

Jiang Chunlan sighed: “What a pity.”

Putting down the scissors, she wiped her hands with a towel, and said slowly: “What’s the matter?”

Zhao Gan is dead, is it worth such agitation? Jiang Chunlan’s eyes were filled with a hint of displeasure, Zhou Xue was still too young to remain calm.

Zhou Xue looked anxious, glanced at Huahua, who bowed her head and stepped back.

Jiang Chunlan picked up the coffee in a leisurely manner, took a sip: “Speak, what happened?”

Zhou Xue whispered into her ear: “Madam, the grave of the master has been disturbed.”

The coffee heading towards Jiang Chunlan’s mouth froze, she glanced at Zhou Xue, and Zhou Xue felt a chill in her heart and immediately lowered her head.

“Madam, it was my incompetence, please punish me.”

“Ran Tengxiao, I really underestimated him, he is much stronger than his grandpa.”

The sound of the coffee cup base hitting the marble table emitted a crisp sound and the living room was so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.

In a long silence, Jiang Chunlan suddenly swept the coffee cup to the floor, and there was a trace of ferocity on that usually calm and elegant face.

“Bastard, I must eradicate him.”

Zhou Xue shrank her shoulders, quickly bent down.

Madam clearly lost this round.

She had hit her weak spot.

The coffee cup shattered on the ground, the broken rim rolled to the door, ending at a pair of white sneakers.

Jiang Jinchen bent down to pick up the broken coffee cup and threw it in the trash can.

Frowning at Jiang Chunlan, “Mom, what happened?”

Jiang Chunlan quickly put on a smile, as if the previous outburst never happened.

She smoothed her hair and smiled, “Jinchen, you’re back. Are you hungry? I asked the kitchen to prepare pork rib soup for you, Huahua....”

Huahua walked out carrying a bowl of pork rib soup, “Young master, have it while it’s hot, it’s been simmering all afternoon.”

Jiang Jinchen pulled out a chair and sat down, glanced at Zhou Xue who was silently standing aside, then at Jiang Chunlan’s eager smile.

Lowering his head, with a spoon, he took a sip.

Jiang Jinchen quickly finished the soup, pushed the bowl away, and looked up at Jiang Chunlan.

He wanted to say something, but in the end, he just sighed, got up and went upstairs.

Jiang Chunlan stared at Jiang Jinchen’s back, not knowing when her son had grown from a boy into a man.

His face was a carbon copy of his father’s.

“Just taking Ran Bowen’s life is way too easy for him, any news of his bastard?”
