Liang Ran spotted Fan Jin’s father, Fan Xin, and went straight over.

Fan Xin used to be an old friend of Liang Ran’s father. The two families had always been friends and had watched Liang Ran grow up. However, the person he didn’t want to see the most now was Liang Ran.

Everyone knew that the Liang family and the Zeng family were now at odds, and his son was about to marry the Zeng family’s daughter. It would not look good if the Zeng family saw him talking to Liang Ran.

Fan Xin wanted to avoid it, but when he saw Ji Xuan beside Liang Ran, he instantly forgot to move.

The reason why he came to this banquet was not only because of the Zeng family, but also because he wanted to get close to Ji Xuan.

Why was Liang Ran with Ji Xuan?

What was their relationship?

Just as he was in a daze, Liang Ran greeted him with a smile.

“Uncle Fan, long time no see. I couldn’t make it for your birthday, but I happened to meet you here. I have a gift for you.”

She spoke very politely, but Fan Xin felt a little uneasy.

He felt like there was a trap waiting for him, and he said with an unfriendly tone, “No need, there’s not much relationship between the Fan family and the Liang family now. There’s no need for gifts.”

He tried hard to distance himself from Liang Ran, and he kept looking behind her.

Liang Ran turned around and saw Zeng Lu and Fan Jin walking over. She instantly understood.

Zeng Lu’s smile froze on her face. The moment she saw Liang Ran, her eyes were filled with disdain.

“Liang Ran, you are shameless. Didn’t your father just die? Yet you have the mood to come to this banquet and seduce men. You are truly filial.”

Fan Jin, who was the only one who didn’t know about this, was slightly surprised. He couldn’t help but look at Liang Ran with some pity.

Liang Ran smiled, but the smile was not sincere.

“I just suddenly remembered that there’s a big gift that I have to hand over to Uncle Fan personally.” After saying that, she ignored Zeng Lu and took out a USB drive from her bag and handed it to Fan Xin.

Fan Xin didn’t want to take it, but because Ji Xuan was standing beside Liang Ran, he didn’t want to make the situation too embarrassing, so he could only reach out and take it.

“This is the big gift you were talking about?” The person who asked this question was Ji Xuan. He was obviously not very satisfied.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Ji. Isn’t this just the beginning?” Liang Ran smiled.

Ji Xuan pursed his lips and did not say anything. Fan Xin held the USB drive and was a little confused.

“What exactly is inside?”

Liang Ran took out her phone, opened a file, and played it.

Fan Jin’s exasperated voice came from inside, “How could you be so careless? If it was someone else who died, it would be easy to deal with. But it was Ji Xuan’s people who died. How am I supposed to deal with this?”

The recording stopped abruptly.

Ji Xuan’s expression changed slightly. He first looked at Fan Jin sharply, then at Liang Ran. “What’s going on?”

Liang Ran spoke slowly and calmly, “Last time I went to see Mr. Fan, and then I overheard this conversation. The complete version is in this USB drive.”

Everyone’s expression changed, especially Fan Jin. The gentle mask he usually put on was torn apart.

He looked at Liang Ran with disappointment and fear. “Ranran, how could you betray me?”

Liang Ran sneered, “Mr. Fan, what are you talking about? Haven’t we already gone our separate ways? Since the moment you hooked up with Zeng Lu or rather, since the moment you teamed up with the Zeng family to take over the Liang family.”

Zeng Lu was completely unaware of the severity of the situation and continued to verbally attack Liang Ran.

“Liang Ran, don’t go too far. You can’t keep your man and use such an underhanded method to take revenge.”

Liang Ran leaned toward Ji Xuan and snuggled into his arms.

“Miss Zeng, you are overthinking things. Don’t think that everyone is like you, treating trash as treasure. Ji Xuan is ten thousand times better than Fan Jin in terms of background, appearance, and integrity. Are you still worried that I will steal him from you?”

“It’s best that you two stay together. Don’t give up on each other.” Liang Ran smiled like a devil as she stared at the two of them.

Ji Xuan calmly looked at Liang Ran. Although the innocent little white rabbit was cute, it was not as charming as the cunning fox.

“Give me the complete recording,” Ji Xuan said.

Liang Ran nodded. “Of course. I’ll give it to you when we get back.”

Fan Jin’s eyes seemed to be spewing fire. He never thought that Liang Ran would have something on him. She liked him so much in the past.

“Mr. Ji.” Fan Xin took the initiative to walk to Ji Xuan’s side and said with a fawning smile, “There must be some misunderstanding.”

Ji Xuan’s eyes were cold, “If there is a misunderstanding, I’ll investigate it myself. It’s best if it’s a misunderstanding. If it’s not…”

“I’ll make sure he gives you an explanation, Mr. Ji.”

“It’s better to be that way.” Ji Xuan said coldly and walked away with Liang Ran.
