Chapter 21: Bad Taste

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Fan Jin was embarrassed by Liang Ran’s words and had no guts to stay any longer, so he left quickly.

Ji Xuan looked at the fleeing figure and sneered, “Your taste was really bad.”

Liang Ran smiled a little awkwardly. “Yes, but my taste is very good now.”

She winked at Ji Xuan as she spoke.

Ji Xuan raised an eyebrow. “Liang Ran, I warn you, you need to be able to distinguish between real affection and acting, don’t forget why you came to my side.”

Liang Ran’s smile disappeared. “Of course, I won’t forget. Mr. Ji should not fall into it either. If you really fall in love with me, It’ll be hard for me to get away when the time comes.”

Ji Xuan didn’t say anything, but his expression was full of disdain as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

The two didn’t say anything else and went straight downstairs.

Many people were sitting downstairs. They were all from the Zeng family. It seemed like they had been waiting for some time. Liang Ran had caused such a ruckus in the Zeng family and made them wait for dinner. As a result, everyone’s gaze towards her was even more hostile.

Liang Ran didn’t care about this. After her father’s accident, she had already seen too many hostile looks, and was basically immune now.

She sat down beside Ji Xuan, but the people at the table still hadn’t picked up their chopsticks. Liang Ran was puzzled and looked around, only to find that Zeng Lu and Fan Jin were not there.

“Go and check on Miss Zeng again and ask her to come down for dinner,” Zeng Hui said.

About ten minutes later, Zeng Lu appeared in the dining room with a reluctant look.

Her eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that she had been crying for a long time. When she came down and saw Liang Ran sitting at the table, her emotions, which had just stabilized for a while, instantly erupted again.

“Why is she still here?” Zeng Hui pointed at Liang Ran and asked loudly.

Liang Ran raised her eyebrows and smiled. “Mrs. Zeng invited me to stay for dinner. I couldn’t refuse, so I stayed.”

As soon as she said this, everyone’s gaze immediately fell on He Yuan.

He Yuan’s face looked unpleasant. She clearly just wanted to invite Ji Xuan to stay, and Liang Ran was an extra. If she had asked Liang Ran to leave at that time, Ji Xuan would leave too.

Zeng Hui obviously understood He Yuan’s thoughts. He could not completely turn against Ji Xuan. It would be beneficial if he could build a good relationship with him.

Zeng Hui thought through all this and was a little disappointed with his beloved granddaughter. All this trouble did not help him at all. He said coldly, “Lu, don’t mess around. Sit down and eat.”

Zeng Lu’s eyes reddened. She had suffered enough grievances today, and now her grandfather was yelling at her. Zeng Lu glared at Liang Ran in anger and said, “I won’t eat while she’s here.”

She wanted to turn around and leave after saying that, but she was stopped by Fan Jin in the end.

Fan Jin whispered into her ear, “Be good, Lu. Grandpa is very angry today.”

Zeng Lu pursed her lips, but surprisingly quieted down.

Both of them were juniors, so they sat at the bottom of the table.

Ji Xuan looked at the furious Zeng Lu and suddenly laughed.

This sound was very soft, and only Liang Ran, who was closest to him, heard it.

Liang Ran whispered into his ear, “What are you laughing at?”

Ji Xuan said, “Compared to her, I realized that you are much smarter. Why couldn’t you keep the man back then?”

Liang Ran’s eyes darkened. “He was not only interested in the person, but also in the family background.”

Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows and did not say anything else.

During the meal, Liang Ran was calm and composed. She was in a good mood and had a good appetite because she had gained a lot from the Zeng family today.

On the other hand, Zeng Lu hardly ate anything and stared at Liang Ran with hatred throughout the meal, wishing that she could stab Liang Ran with her knife and fork instead of the food.

After dinner, He Yuan didn’t dare to keep the two of them any longer.

The two of them had seen enough of the show and were not prepared to stay any longer.

Before she left, Liang Ran said to Zeng Hui, “Grandpa Zeng, you have to hurry up with the shares you promised me. It’s a little troublesome for me to keep this video. I might accidentally post it online.”

“Come over tomorrow and sign the transfer agreement.” Zeng Hui’s face was gloomy.

Liang Ran suggested, “Why don’t you have someone send it to my place instead? If I have to come again, your precious granddaughter might get sick from anger.”

Zeng Hui actually was still considering a way out. If Liang Ran came alone tomorrow, it would be easier for him to negotiate.

“Send the transfer agreement directly to me.” Ji Xuan suddenly said.
