“Mr. Ran, please excuse me, I have to take this call.” Gu Qingshan stepped aside with his cellphone.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
Ran Tengxiao poured himself a cup of tea, sipping it lightly while looking out at the rain.
The teahouse had a nice view, quiet and elegant, with an old-world charm. It was easy to relax here.
Despite the swirling tea mist and gentle tea fragrance, a faint strange aroma that would typically soothe the mind was somehow making him feel irritable.
The porcelain cup was somewhat heated, but his fingertips did not feel any warmth, only endless coldness.
Her body was as cold as ice, colder than the winter chill that had just started to set in.
Lowering his gaze, Ran Tengxiao looked at his fingertips, lost in thought.
From outside the door, he heard Gu Qingshan unable to suppress his furious roar, “What did you just say? Li Yaru, you and your cousin’s family are going to kill me. Not only did you oppress others under my name, but you also offended everyone. Now, you had an accident and fled, and you expect me to clean up your mess? Do you want to drive me into the ground? You’d better pray no one was severely injured. Tell her to turn herself in as soon as possible. The law might be lenient then. Otherwise, prepare to spend the latter half of her life delivering meals to her in prison.”
Ran Tengxiao narrowed his eyes. Had the accident at the intersection involved Gu Qingshan?
Gu Qingshan returned, looking worse than before, “I’m sorry, Mr. Ran, what were we talking about? Let’s continue.”
Ran Tengxiao took a sip of his tea and gently asked, “Mr. Gu, did you run into some trouble?”
Could it be Ran Qing? This woman was not a concern either.
In his eyes, the Rans were no different from the common folk. Could a snake ever compare to a dragon?
And he intended to be the soaring dragon.
Although he feared the Rans, he also looked down on them. When Ran Bowen was alive, things were fine. But after Ran Bowen’s death, each generation was worse than the last. This Ran Tengxiao was too young to hold such a huge responsibility.
Ran Tengxiao could clearly see the disdain in Gu Qingshan’s eyes. He lifted his teacup to hide the cold smirk on his lips, took a leisurely sip, and then spoke slowly, “The other major shareholder of the horse club is Ms. Ming Jing.”
Gu Qingshan’s heart skipped a beat and he looked up, “Ming Jing?”
When did these two connect together? Why didn’t he hear a single word about it?
That Ming Jing really had extensive connections. Most of Jiangzhou’s affluent and influential families had some relations with her. He thought the Rans would be the last untouched territory, but it seems they couldn’t escape either.
“Yes, thanks to Ms. Ming Jing, the success of this year’s horse race was possible. She is now the second-largest shareholder of the horse club. My words don’t count.”
“This...” Gu Qingshan was secretly annoyed.
Ming Jing had a good relationship with Madam Shen, was an honored guest in Madam Jiang’s house, and she was Shen Zhou’s sister. With such a complicated network of relations, it’s a pity his kin offended her under his name.
If he could win over her... Gu Qingshan pondered for a moment and quietly made up his mind.
