Ji Xuan pulled her away and left directly.

“The banquet hasn’t ended yet, and Mr. Ji is already leaving?” Liang Ran and Ji Xuan stood at the door. The night breeze blew, making them shiver.

“Why? Did you arrange other scenes tonight?”

Liang Ran shook her head and crossed her arms.

“If you don’t have any, then let’s go. I’ll send you back.” After Ji Xuan finished speaking, he did not give Liang Ran any time to react. He took the initiative to walk to the car and even opened the door for her.

Liang Ran sat in the car. It was very warm inside, and she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

Ji Xuan thought about what had happened at the banquet and said, “Send me the complete recording and tell me in detail what happened.”

Liang Ran had already closed her eyes, but when she heard this, she perked up. She added Ji Xuan’s WeChat on the spot and sent him the complete recording.

She hadn’t rested for more than thirty hours and was exhausted both physically and mentally.

“The Fan Corporation had their eyes on a piece of land some time ago, but there were many competitors, including Huayue. The government proposed that the land would belong to whoever could first solve the problem of relocating the residents. To prove his ability to his father, Fan Jin hired a lot of thugs to intimidate the residents. Those thugs fought with Huayue’s people and killed a new manager. The manager’s surname was Ji.”

Huayue actually had little to do with the Ji family, but Ji Xuan knew that manager. He was a distant cousin who had come to him a few months ago, wanting him to arrange a position in the Ji Corporation. He didn’t think highly of that person’s ability, so he handed the matter over to someone else to handle and never expected that he would end up being arranged to work as a manager at Huayue.

He hadn’t heard anything about this.

“Mr. Ji must be wondering why no one came to tell you. It’s because their entire family is under Fan Jin’s control.” Liang Ran explained.

Ji Xuan didn’t say anything, he just looked at Liang Ran with a deep gaze.

Liang Ran felt a little guilty. “You don’t believe me, Mr. Ji?”

Ji Xuan shook his head. “I’ll verify it myself. I think we should discuss another issue now.”

Liang Ran met his gaze and pretended to be calm, but she did not know that her eyes had already revealed her uneasiness.

“Tell me, how many times have you used me?”

Liang Ran’s eyelashes trembled slightly. “Does Mr. Ji mind this?”

Ji Xuan almost laughed out loud, who would like being used as a weapon?

Although he also wanted to see those people suffer.

“Then why don’t you use me back?” Liang Ran suggested.

Liang Ran was just joking. She couldn’t think of anything else besides her body that Ji Xuan could use, and he wouldn’t get any other benefits from her.

“Sure. You have to accompany me somewhere in a few days. You’ll do whatever I tell you to do.” Ji Xuan actually agreed.

Liang Ran quickly nodded. “Alright.”

“Can I take a few days off?” Liang Ran spoke again with a slightly pleading tone.

Ji Xuan knew that it was for her father’s funeral, so he agreed.

After sending her home, Liang Ran thanked him and got out of the car.

She froze when entering the door.

A woman was standing at the door. She was wearing a sexy red dress and had a cigarette in her hand. Behind her was the group of people who had come to collect debts in the hospital.

The mourning hall that Liang Ran and Bi Wen had spent so much effort to set up was destroyed.

Seeing Liang Ran, the woman smiled. “Liang Ran, long time no see. Where have you been? Your father hasn’t even been buried yet, and you’re already out working?”

She emphasized “working” in a way that hinted at something more, and everyone present knew what she meant.

Liang Ran took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. “Tang Li, what are you doing here?”

Tang Li was her high school classmate. Her family background was average, and she was always bullied back then. Liang Ran couldn’t stand it anymore and helped out. Later, the two of them became good friends. It wasn’t until half a year ago that the Liang Corporation’s situation took a turn for the worse that Tang Li broke off her friendship without hesitation. She chose to curry favor with Zeng Lu and became her follower.

Tang Li casually tossed the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with her foot. “Oh, Miss Zeng heard that your father had passed away and that no one came to pay their respects, so she especially sent me to deliver some flower baskets to add some atmosphere. And by the way, you should pay back the money you owe Miss Zeng.”
