The words that made Xiao Ran shut up were said by Old Man Xiao, and there was another voice. A few of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw Mu Ya Ran standing naturally in front of them.
A proper makeup outfit, a limited edition designer dress, and a pair of high-heeled shoes similar in color to the sky blue dress accentuated her elegance and elegance.
Noticing that everyone was looking at her, Mu Yaran revealed a gentle smile and greeted the Xiao family's old patriarch.
"I'm sorry, grandfather. I came a bit late today." Only then did my parents allow me to take care of the company's matters slowly. I studied with them a little late today, so I came over. " Mu Yaran said gently.
"I'm fine." Old Man Xiao revealed the first smile of the night, "I understand. I remember back when Yun Yi had just taken over the company's affairs, he was also busy very late and encountered a lot of problems. [You must accept the Mu Clan slowly now. There must be a period of time when you are busy.] If you have any difficulties, you can go to the company and ask Yun Yi for help. "
"Yeah, I'm really too busy. I might not be able to study well, but I still can't handle the company's affairs. It's quite troublesome." Mu Yaran immediately followed up, "But since you've said so, then I won't be polite with Big Brother Xiao anymore. Big Brother Xiao, it's better if you don't find it troublesome. If I have any questions, I'll go and find you. "
"He wouldn't dare." Old Man Xiao said, "If he dares, you can come here and complain to me. I'll teach him a lesson."
Mu Yaran smiled embarrassedly and then looked shyly at Xiao Yunyi.
The two of them chatted for a while longer, causing Xiao Yunyi to have another matter on his body. It also gave Mu Yaran more of an excuse to go to the Xiao family and find Xiao Yunyi.
Lan Xi felt a little depressed in her heart. The difference between Xiao Jian An's treatment of her and Mu Yaran was just too great. However, she also knew that this was normal. After all, her status was nothing in their eyes. In addition, Mu Yaran and Xiao Yun were childhood sweethearts, so they definitely grew up by Old Man Xiao's side, and their relationship was naturally not ordinary.
Although she consoled herself like this, Lan Xi still felt very uncomfortable.
Xiao Yunyi, on the other hand, did not react at all to the two's words. In the past, Mu Yaran would often come to the Xiao Clan to find him using all kinds of excuses, so he was already used to it. However, he was even more curious about Lan Xi's reaction to their decision. Seeing how depressed Lan Xi was, Xiao Yunyi felt both amused and pained at the same time.
The expressions of the other four people in the living room turned bleak. He found this extremely interesting and felt that this might be his chance to rise up once again.
Xiao Ran decided to observe the relationship between Xiao Yunyi, Mu Yaran, and Lan Xi. Perhaps he would benefit from this.
Mu Yaran and Old Man Xiao sat together and spoke a few common words, just like a pair of normal grandsons.
Xiao Yunyi and Lan Xi sat on the sofa at the side. One of them had a downcast expression, while the other was expressionless. At some point in time, however, Xiao Yunyi's hand had covered Lan Xi's hand.
Xiao Yunyi's actions had attracted the attention of others. Lan Xi was very surprised. Mu Yaran was very jealous. Old Man Xiao and Xiao Ran were very surprised. Those who were surrounded by the four gazes had a calm expression on their faces.
Lan Xi lowered her head to look at the two folded hands. She didn't know what to feel. However, what she couldn't deny was that Xiao Yunyi's actions made her feel at ease. Lan Xi looked at Xiao Yunyi and revealed a faint smile.
The other three, who seemed to be chatting, but were secretly observing them, were all stunned by the couple's seemingly lovers' interaction.
On one hand, Xiao Yunyi had never done such a thing before. On the other hand, Lan Xi's appearance was truly outstanding.
She smiled faintly at Xiao Yunyi, allowing the others to understand why the information they had gathered indicated that Lan Xi had been able to succeed every time she completed a mission — her appearance was one of the main reasons.
Xiao Ran was extremely jealous of Xiao Yunyi's good luck. Not only was he born of a good background and had a powerful ability, he also had a good body. The women by his side were also each more outstanding than the other.
Mu Yaran's background and Lan Xi's appearance were things that none of the girls he'd come into contact with could match up to.
And the person Mu Yaran was jealous of was naturally Lan Xi.
Mu Yaran had never enjoyed Xiao Yunyi's comforting gaze and had never been looked at with such gentleness before. Moreover, they had never been so close before and Xiao Yunyi had never taken the initiative to help her.
The only reason she was so familiar with the Xiao family was because she had shamelessly fought for them.
"Master, dinner is ready." Butler Lu reported to Xiao Jianan.
Xiao Jian An was the first to stand up and walk towards the dining hall with Mu Yaran's support. From the back, they looked like a pair of intimate grandfathers.
Xiao Ran glanced at Xiao Yunyi before leaving the guest hall.
After exchanging glances with Xiao Yunyi, Lan Xi knew that there would definitely be more matters waiting for her. She could only face him head on.
She held Xiao Yunyi's hand tightly and felt that her heart was filled with strength. Following the three people in front of them, they also arrived at the dining hall and took their seats.
Tonight's dining table was arranged like this: Old Master Xiao was naturally seated at the main seat. On the left side were Xiao Yunyi and Lan Xi, and on the right were Mu Yaran and Xiao Ran.
Ever since he found out that Xiao Ran had spent a huge amount of money to hire assassins to kill Xiao Yunyi, Old Man Xiao no longer held him in that regard. He thought he had been good enough for him, though to make up for his lack of fatherly love. However, Xiao Jianan felt that Xiao Ran's wolf ambition could not be satisfied. Thus, he could only give up on him.
Compared to Xiao Yunyi, Xiao Jianan did not want Xiao Yunyi to be hurt. After all, in every aspect, Xiao Yunyi was someone who had a better grasp over the Xiao family.
Xiao Ran naturally didn't know what Xiao Jian An was thinking. If he knew, it would definitely cause a huge ruckus.
He had always felt that his father's death was related to the Xiao family, so the Xiao family should compensate him with the entire Xiao family. However, he didn't expect Xiao Yunyi to be above him in both the company and the Xiao family. This made him feel extremely dissatisfied. Adding on the words of his friends beside him, this caused him to have such a vicious mind.
However, he was disappointed that his plan failed. He did not expect Lan Xi to betray him.
Xiao Ran looked at her gloomily as she thought about that.
Mu Yaran did not care about the expressions of the people around her. To her, Xiao Ran was already a cripple, not to mention that he still wanted Xiao Yun to live. If it wasn't for Xiao Yunyi letting him off, Mu Yaran would not have let him off so easily.
However, the current her was more concerned about Xiao Yunyi's actions.
"Your wounds aren't healed yet. Don't eat spicy food." Xiao Yunyi turned his head and said gently to Lan Xi.
