He had never liked Jiang Bangyuan to begin with. But there was nothing he could do about their arrangement because his father had already decided on his behalf that he would marry the daughter of the Jiang Family.

There was no way he could evade the arranged marriage since this was a responsibility he had to bear as a member of the Quan Family.

Incidentally, he met Bai Ran and found he could make use of her to create a scene and conveniently bail out of the arranged marriage.

This outcome was far more desirable for Quan Rui.

Furthermore…

There was one more crucial point to this.

Quan Rui knew that Jiang Bangyuan was not a simple woman when he met her for the first time.

Jiang Bangyuan and Jiang Hao had both coveted what the Quan Family owned and a woman like that rubbed a major raw nerve in Quan Rui.

Incidentally again, Bai Ran appeared at the right moment and she was also a daughter of the Jiang Family. Thus…

Quan Rui began making plans out of his own wishful thinking and was waiting all this time for Bai Ran to act as a catalyst to kick off this series of events.

After Quan Rui finished speaking, Jiang Bangyuan felt her heart thumping violently in her chest and blood rushing to her face. She knew that things were not going well.

“It seems like Quan Rui’s heart is set. What can I do about it now?”

When Jiang Hao saw the tortured look on his sister’s face, he stepped forward.

Afraid of chastising Quan Rui, he could only focus his efforts on Bai Ran.

“You, shameless wench! Aren’t you going to get up yet? Get out of this house and get lost! There is no place for the likes of you here!” Jiang Hao had always been hot-tempered. Under the current circumstances, it was even more difficult for him to hold back and keep his temper in check.

“Hmph! You’re not our father. What right do you have to tell me what to do?” Bai Ran looked at Jiang Hao disdainfully. She had not gotten her revenge on him yet. “I belong to Master Quan now. Are you trying to disrespect Master Quan with the way you’re treating me now?”

Quan Rui, who was holding Bai Ran, remained silent as she said this. He neither agreed nor disagreed and merely continued to toy with her long, seaweed-like hair without giving his input.

Even with Quan Rui deciding not to speak, by sitting there quietly he indicated his silent support.

As long as Quan Rui remained by Bai Ran’s side, nobody would dare to act rashly no matter what Bai Ran said or did.

All of a sudden, Bai Ran found herself feeling extremely lucky and grateful to have met Quan Rui.

“So, this is how great it feels to have someone to back you up!”

“You—” Jiang Hao was at a loss for words and he subconsciously glanced at Quan Rui for the resolution to this. Now he realized that while Quan Rui never said anything or even looked up to follow the argument, he had a dark expression on his face while he remained seated with Bai Ran in his arms…

Jiang Hao felt terrified by the calm aura that Quan Rui exuded.

“Disrespect Quan Rui? I don’t dare to do it!

“Even the mayor of Sanjiang City has to treat Quan Rui with respect when he sees him, not to mention the Jiang Family!

“Since the Quan Family’s reputation and the Universal Group’s entrance to the city were the reasons why Sanjiang City’s economic and cultural development was ranked among the top in the country, numerous powerful distinguished people have also started hanging around Sanjiang City.”

Jiang Hao was extremely clear about this and thus, he coveted what Quan Rui had and could bring to his hometown.

Now that Bai Ran had Quan Rui backing her up, he had to be careful not to be too harsh with his words.

With no choice, Jiang Hao lowered his voice and changed his tack again, “Bai Ran, the least you could have done was say that you belong to your brother-in-law. You—”

Before Jiang Hao could finish speaking, there was a flash of lightning in the sky beyond the villa and a shocking rumble of thunder. The thunder was exceptionally loud and to Bai Ran, the lightning looked as though it had split the sky in two with a single flash of white light.

She peered out the window instinctively.

The sky had clouded over with mist and strong winds began to blow. It seemed like it was about to rain soon.

“My ring! The ring is still on the lawn outside!

“The mud out there is soft. If it rains, the ring will get buried or washed, then I really won’t be able to find it anymore!

“I mustn’t let that happen.”
