Chapter 15: Confrontation

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

When they reached a room on the second floor, He Yuan stopped Liang Ran. “I have something to say to Xuan in private. Miss Liang, please wait outside.”

Liang Ran raised her eyebrows and said to Ji Xuan, “Mr. Ji, please go in. I’ll walk around outside.”

This was a big favor from He Yuan, as Liang Ran was thinking about how to distract Ji Xuan so that she could attend to her own matters.

Ji Xuan followed He Yuan into the room.

Liang Ran slowly walked along the corridor on the second floor and finally saw a room with an open door near the large display screen.

Inside the room sat a young man who looked quite young and was playing a game on his phone.

Sensing that someone had entered, the boy looked up. With just one glance, his face instantly turned red.

Liang Ran’s beauty was extremely attractive to most men. He stopped playing games and muttered, “Um, Miss, do you need anything?”

Liang Ran was stunned for a moment. She felt that it had been a long time since she had heard someone call her that. She was often called that when she was in school.

After looking at the young man for a moment, she asked, “Are you the main person in charge here?”

The boy quickly shook his head. “I’m not. I’m just doing part-time chores. This studio is very good. I’m here to gain some experience.”

Liang Ran nodded and was completely relieved. She didn’t want to implicate innocent people. Since the studio was very good and the main responsibility wasn’t on them, the Zeng family wouldn’t make things difficult for them.

She smiled at the boy and said, “I’m Miss Zeng’s friend. She asked me to come up and see how the preparations are going.”

The boy did not suspect anything. Liang Ran took the initiative to pour a large glass of water for the boy. The two of them sat and chatted for a while. The boy was a little shy and kept drinking water to hide his embarrassment. He had been sitting there for a long time. After drinking a large glass of water, he had no choice but to go to the bathroom.

Liang Ran kindly said, “Go ahead, I’ll watch over things for you.”

The boy thanked her and left. She quickly turned on his computer. There was a file inside with the words “Video Show” written on it.

Liang Ran took out the USB flash drive and plugged it in. She quickly imported a video and then replaced the original “Video Projection” file with the video she imported. After checking and confirming that there was no problem, she pulled out the USB flash drive and sat calmly in her seat.

After the boy returned, Liang Ran found an excuse and left.

Ji Xuan had yet to come out of the room. It was too silly to wait in the corridor, so Liang Ran went to the first floor.

There were already quite a few people in the hall on the first floor, including Zeng Lu and Fan Jin. Zeng Lu was originally talking to her aunt. When she saw Liang Ran coming down, a scheming light flashed across her eyes.

She called the waiter over and asked him to bring her a glass of iced beer.

Most of the people present ordered red wine. Although the waiter was puzzled, he still went to bring her a glass of iced beer.

Her aunt was also very puzzled by her behavior and asked, “Since when did Lu like beer? Didn’t you dislike the strong taste of beer?”

Zeng Lu smiled slightly and said, “It’s all about the strong taste.”

After she finished speaking, she walked straight to Liang Ran with the beer in her hand.

Liang Ran could tell that she had come with ill intentions, but she did not avoid it and went up to her openly.

Zeng Lu raised her voice and sneered, “Miss Liang, I really admire you. Your father just passed away and you’re already out seducing men. You’re truly dedicated to your work.”

Liang Ran’s expression remained unchanged as she smiled back and retorted, “I can’t compare to Miss Zeng, the expert of the mistress world. When it comes to being a mistress, Miss Zeng said that she’s second, then no one would dare to claim to be first. You are completely qualified to teach.”

Zeng Lu’s face darkened. When she was with Fan Jin, he hadn’t broken up with Liang Ran yet. But at that time, Fan Jin himself had said that he no longer liked Liang Ran.

“That’s because you’re not charming enough to keep a man.” Zeng Lu countered and raised her glass.

Liang Ran had been watching Zeng Lu’s every move since she came downstairs, so she was on guard the whole time.

Seeing Zeng Lu raise her glass, Liang Ran quickly pushed it in Zeng Lu’s direction.

The whole glass of ice-cold beer poured down on Zeng Lu in an instant. Her snow-white princess dress was soaked with beer from her chest down, and the pale yellow color was very obvious.

The crowd was dumbfounded, especially Zeng Lu. She was shivering from the cold, and her face was still blank. She was probably still recalling the scene just now and couldn’t figure out why the cold beer that was prepared for Liang Ran had poured on her.
