Chapter 663

This is Xu Zumiao's first time stepping into Ran's manor. She knew that Ran's family was rich, but she didn't expect to make it to this extent.

Although Shen Zhou is the richest man, most of them are real estate and shares, which cannot be easily liquidated.

But Ran Tengxiao is different. In fact, he is the one who really holds the economic lifeline of Jiangzhou, racecourse, gambling house, shipping... These businesses are very profitable, and each of them is almost Jiangzhou's business card. It can be said that he can't live without him. Open Jiangzhou, but Jiangzhou cannot do without him.

It is precisely because he is deeply rooted in Jiangzhou that it is not so easy to move him. He has to boil the frog in warm water and draw it slowly.

It is almost a miracle that this man can develop a dilapidated family into its present scale in just a few years from Ran Yang's hands.

This is also enough to prove that this young man is by no means an ordinary person, and ability, wrist and scheming are indispensable.

After that night, Ran Tengxiao never took the initiative to contact her again. This is a hunting battle, whoever takes that step first will lose.

In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, and took the initiative to call Ran Tengxiao. On the phone, the man's attitude was so indifferent that Xu Zumiao couldn't figure it out. In the past month, she had invited her to dinner several times, but she didn't go any further.

Xu Zumiao tried his best, but this man had no further plans.

Xu Zumiao's heart was in a hurry, and she was absent-minded in everything she did. She knew that she had been affected by this man, which was very dangerous.

Finally, yesterday, there was a turning point.

When Ran Tengxiao was riding a horse, he fell off the horse. Xu Zumiao called to express his concern and wanted to come to visit him.

This time Ran Tengxiao did not refuse, and the gate of Ran's Manor was opened for her for the first time.

"Miss Xu, you are finally here. Lord Xiao has been waiting for you for a long time." Ran Yunhua walked out to greet you with a smile.

Xu Zumiao nodded politely, and asked in a gentle voice, "Master Xiao...is there nothing serious?"

Ran Yunhua sighed: "My arm was broken, and my muscles and bones were hurt for a hundred days. Master Xiao has suffered this time."

"So serious?" The worry on his face was not adulterated at all.

"Yes, Ms. Xu, go and have a look. Master Xiao was given anesthesia yesterday, and when he was unconscious, he kept calling Miss Xu's name. This is how Master Xiao is. He keeps everything in his mind and doesn't say anything Come out, Miss Xu, you have to treat Lord Xiao well in the future, Lord Xiao is absolutely sincere to you."

Xu Zumiao was stunned, and kept calling her name when she was in a coma?

Is this man so sullen?

"I gonna go see."

Seeing Xu Zumiao walk into Ran Tengxiao's bedroom, Ran Yunhua raised his eyebrows, covered his mouth and snickered.

It was the first time that a strange woman came to Ran's family, and she even entered Lord Xiao's bedroom, but this gave the servants of Ran's family a place to talk after dinner, discussing whether this might be the future Mrs. Ran.

Ran Yunhua coughed: "You guys are quite brave if you dare to talk about Lord Xiao's private life in private."

The servants quickly apologized and worked silently.

At noon, Xu Zumiao stayed at Ran's house for dinner. Twenty-four dishes were placed on the two-meter-long dining table. Ran Yunhua played the role of housekeeper, and introduced from the side: "Master Xiao knew that you love seafood, so he specially ordered someone to eat seafood this morning. Try the bluefin tuna brought in by air from abroad, it’s very delicious.”

"This dish is Matsusaka beef, which is known as the Queen's beef. In order to prevent the quality of the meat from deteriorating during transportation, a helicopter was specially dispatched."

Ran Yunhua sighed: "Master Xiao really took great pains for you."

Xu Zumiao looked at the steak on the plate, which was smaller than a palm. She knew this kind of beef, and such a small piece was worth the down payment of a house in the city center of Jiangzhou.

For the first time, Xu Zumiao experienced the joy of laughing like a concubine in the world of mortals.

"Miss Xu, you can enjoy it slowly, and I will deliver the meal to Master Xiao."

"Let me go..." Xu Zumiao said as he was about to stand up.

"Then how can it be, you are a guest, besides, Lord Xiao has told me long ago that you have a bad stomach, so you must eat well."

There was a smile on the corner of Xu Zumiao's mouth. He even knew that he had a stomach problem, so he didn't do anything for a month because he wanted her to take the initiative.

Men also want face, so she will give him face.

Ran Yunhua put the dinner plate heavily on the table with a "slap", and said angrily, "Master Xiao, I suffered a work-related injury, how are you going to compensate me?"

The man sat on the sofa on the balcony, the sun fell on his body, the casual man was refreshing and handsome, and said without raising his head, "I will marry you with a generous dowry in the future."

Ran Yunhua rolled his eyes: "I don't care about your dowry? I've had enough of that woman, how long do you want me to endure?"

"hold on……."

"Hehe..." Ran Yunhua sat down on the single sofa opposite.

"I think that Ms. Xu is quite beautiful, Lord Xiao... you are not really tempted, are you? Just admit it, a man in his twenties, I will not laugh at you if I like someone, let me be I am here to accompany you to act in a play, facing an annoying woman every day, I am going to vomit blood."

Ran Tengxiao glanced at her: "Xiaohua, in your eyes, is your Lord Xiao so tasteless?"

Ran Yunhua was stunned for a moment, then reacted and covered his stomach and laughed: "Oh, Lord Xiao, I really didn't expect that the wise and mighty Lord Xiao would sell his lust one day, what are you planning?"

Ran Tengxiao's eyes were deep: "What do you think I'm drawing?"

Ran Yunhua gradually stopped laughing, and sighed: "Master Xiao, to be honest, I really feel sorry for you. You are already twenty-seven this year, and you don't have a confidante around you. What's the point of having so much wealth and property?" How to use it? Tell me, what kind do you like? I will pay attention to the ladies of each family."

Ran Tengxiao snorted coldly: "A dog can't spit out ivory."

"Hey, I really miss Miss. I don't know what Miss is doing now, when will she come back?" Ran Yunhua rested his chin on both hands, looking at the man in front of him out of the corner of his eyes.

Sure enough, a dazed expression appeared on the man's face, as if he was lost in memory.

The corner of Ran Yunhua's mouth curled up, she knew it.

"Okay, the food has been delivered, I should go serve your woman, my life is really miserable, and I don't know when I can get out of the sea of ​​suffering, miss, come back and save me..." Ran Yunhua pretended Mumbling pretentiously, the soles of his feet got oily under Ran Tengxiao's darkening complexion.

At this time, the mobile phone on the table rang, and Ran Tengxiao picked it up to connect.

"Master Xiao, we have already found out..."

The thin lips of the man sitting in the sun slowly curled up, and the scorching sun couldn't melt the ice in his eyes.

——

When Xu Zumiao came out of Ran's house, the smile on the corner of her mouth never stopped.

She parked the car on the side of the road, lowered the window, and the cold wind was blowing in her face. She raised her hand and patted her cheek.

Pulling down the mirror above his head, Xu Zumiao looked at it carefully for a few seconds.

"Don't forget your ultimate goal because of a man."

Xu Zumiao warned herself slowly.

Only a stupid woman will get carried away by a man's overtures. Although she can't guarantee her heart, at least she can't lose herself in the sugar-coated shells. This is the last bottom line.

The joy in his eyes faded, replaced by restraint and calmness.

Now is the critical moment, and absolutely no mistakes can be made.

——

It was the Spring Festival soon, but the atmosphere in the Shen family was gloomy and depressing.

Old Mr. Shen was sent to a foreign nursing home by Shen Zhou half a year ago, so he can retire with peace of mind.

Shen Zhou is still suppressed by the inspection bureau, so far there is no news.

"Shen Xiangxiang, your father is suffering outside. You are so chic. You invite a bunch of dubious people to your house for a party. Do you still see me as an elder in your eyes?"

In the past month, Mao Nana has really been angered by Shen Xiangxiang too much.

This girl speaks nicely and specializes in doing disgusting things. Now that she has turned over and become the master, the small family spirit of the poor and the rich has been exposed.

Not to mention that the company was handed over to outsiders to manage, the family invited some dubious young people to come in and out every day, the music was loud, and there were a lot of drinking and dancing. Mao Nana, who was raising her baby, couldn't bear it.

"This is my house, if you can't stand it, that's fine, just pack up and get out." Shen Xiangxiang pointed to the door, and told her newly hired helper.

"Go and pack my wife's luggage. She really feels wronged by living in my house."

The helper Ma Liuer rushed upstairs.

"You...you..." Mao Nana pointed at Shen Xiangxiang, her face flushed with anger, and she greeted Zhu Xiangxiang with a feather duster in the corner: "You unfilial daughter, I will teach you a lesson for your father."

Shen Xiangxiang's face turned cold, he suddenly grabbed the feather duster, and pushed hard, "This family is in charge of me now, and it's not your turn to teach Miss Ben, so get out if you don't know how to behave."

Mao Nana was pushed to the ground, she clutched her stomach and groaned, and soon blood flowed from her body.

Shen Xiangxiang was startled, but quickly calmed down.

"Why are you so careless, Ma'am? If you lose the child, how can you explain to my father?"

The helper wanted to call 120, Shen Xiangxiang glanced at her, and the helper quickly put away the phone in fright.

Mao Nana cried out in pain, "My child...my child...."

The helper Xiaowei rushed over and gave Shen Xiangxiang a hard look: "You will have retribution."

She had already called 120 as soon as the accident happened, and stayed by Mao Nana's side. It didn't take long for the ambulance to arrive, and Mao Nana was carried into the ambulance.

Shen Xiangxiang glanced at the helper: "You follow me to have a look."

The helper understood Shen Xiangxiang's eyes, took a deep breath, and followed him into the ambulance without delay.

Shen Xiangxiang didn't wait long, when the helper called from the hospital: "Miss, it was a false alarm. The child is fine, but Madam was frightened, so she has to stay in the hospital for a few more days to raise the baby."

Shen Xiangxiang gritted her teeth, how could she be so lucky that the child was not lost.

"Are you sure she drank that glass of water herself?"

The helper immediately reassured: "I watched Madam drink it with my own eyes."

Shen Xiangxiang frowned, what is the problem?

After hanging up the phone, she walked up and down the room, finally making up her mind.

Thinking of this, she made a phone call: "I can't wait any longer, you must make Shen Zhou never come out again."

"That's your biological father, are you sure you want to do this?"

Shen Xiangxiang sneered: "Does he think I'm his own daughter? I'm just treating him in the same way."

If people are not for themselves, heaven and earth will perish.

With Shen Zhou gone, the child in Mao Nana's stomach was no longer a threat.

"It's going to be the birthday party of the old lady of the Zhu family. This year is the first time for the daughter of the Zhu family to make an official appearance. The Zhu family will use the birthday party of the old lady to hold a big event. At that time, all the famous people in Jiangzhou will come. You, the former daughter of the Zhu family , I can’t justify not going to congratulate, right?”

Shen Xiangxiang raised the corners of his lips, his brows and eyes brimming with self-satisfaction: "Of course I'm going."

How could she miss such a proud occasion?

——

"Xinxin, you've been busy these days, do you want to take a break?" Lin Qing looked at her busy daughter who didn't touch the ground, her eyes filled with distress.

"Mom, I didn't have the opportunity to be filial to my grandma before. This time, let me host it. You are not in good health, so you should take a good rest. My daughter is not as fragile as you think."

Mingxin ordered the helper to arrange the scene in an orderly manner, from the big drinks and cakes to the small potted plants dotted in the corner, she never perfunctory.

"Miss, this is the list of guests invited tonight."

Ming Xin took it over and looked through it: "The Ran family arranges the master seat, the Shen family..."

Ming Xin frowned, "Forget it, the Shen family is troubled now, so they probably won't come here, and the position is still reserved, just in case."

Tonight's banquet is arranged in the banquet hall of the hotel. The specifications and grades are all good. At six o'clock in the afternoon, guests arrive one after another.

The Zhu family is different now, because Mingjing has a close relationship with the Ran family, many people dare not offend the Ran family, so naturally they want to sell the Zhu family's face, who dares to neglect the old lady's banquet.

Ye Lan looked at Ming Xin, who was long-sleeved and good at dancing, and felt that the encounters between people were really different.

A person who grew up in an ancient temple deep in the mountains, is so handy in dealing with people and people in the world, it has to make people feel emotional.

And today's Miss Zhu is no longer the dusty little nun of the past.

She is the youngest actress in the entertainment industry, Ziwei Xing from the sky, her popularity and achievements are unmatched among the younger generation of actresses, and she is a well-deserved Queen in the future Chinese film industry.

The young woman was wearing a well-tailored haute couture dress, with a simple and elegant style, just like her impression, clean and simple, like a spring breeze.

Although she was not a stunning beauty, her slim and graceful appearance, bright eyes and white teeth, and a smile on her cheeks made people unable to look away for a moment.

Ye Lan sighed in her heart, she really deserved to be sisters who grew up with Ming Jing, and she wanted to live in the nunnery where they grew up for a while.

"Miss Ye, Mrs. Ye." Ming Xin came forward with a smile.

Mrs. Ye smiled very happily, and held Ming Xin's hand with an excited expression: "It can be regarded as seeing a real person, Miss Zhu, I am your fan, can you sign me later? Will it be too abrupt? ?”

Ye Lan didn't look at it: "Mom, where does Miss Zhu have time?"

"It's okay." Mingxin smiled brightly, which was very easy to make people feel good.

"Mrs. Ye, I like you very much too. Let's take a photo together later, okay? Ming Jing told me before that Mrs. Ye is a rare and blessed person, and I am the one who is blessed by you."

Mrs. Ye was overjoyed by the praise: "That's good."

When Ran Tengxiao showed up with a young woman, the scene caused quite a stir.

This was the first time that a woman other than Mingjing appeared beside Ran Tengxiao, which surprised everyone.

Then everyone recognized that this woman was Xu Zumiao, who had only been back to China for a year. The Xu family had no roots in Jiangzhou, and through the family connections of the Shen family, she entered the upper class circle of Jiangzhou. Unexpectedly, this woman was so skillful. He got Ran Tengxiao without saying a word.

For a moment, everyone couldn't tell whether it was jealousy or envy.

Xu Zumiao was holding Ran Tengxiao's arm, and she was dressed in a glamorous manner. As soon as she appeared on the stage, she really caught the attention of the audience.

This is exactly what Xu Zumiao wanted.

"Xiao, thank you." Although the man didn't speak sweet words, he told everyone her identity with practical actions.

This feeling is more reassuring for women.

"As long as you're happy." The man's eyes were full of doting.

Everyone looked so sour.

Ming Xin raised her eyebrows, and walked forward with a smile: "Mr. Ran and Ms. Xu are both talented and beautiful, they are really a couple."

"Miss Zhu is awesome. I watched your new movie, and I don't know how many packs of tissues I wasted. You have such excellent acting skills at such a young age, and the future is promising."

Ming Xin quickly exchanged glances with Ran Tengxiao, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ran, Miss Xu, please..."

"The daughter of the Zhu family takes pleasure in being an actress, and she has really lost all the character of a famous lady in Jiangzhou."

An arrogant voice cut in, interrupting Ming Xin's words.

Ming Xin squinted her eyes, smiled and looked in the direction of the door.

Shen Xiangxiang stepped on seven centimeter high heels, wore an exaggerated dress, and walked in with his chin raised like a proud peacock.

As soon as she came out, the audience fell silent for an instant.

This girl is simply a legend, just like Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death, she can come back from the ashes every time.

After losing her status as the daughter of the Zhu family, she transformed into Shen Zhou's daughter again.

After Shenzhou's accident, she seized the opportunity to seize control of Shenzhou Group and became the youngest president of Shenzhou Group.

Regardless of whether the means are bright or not, it is admirable to rely on this tossing energy.

Yao Ji last year at the old lady's birthday banquet, these two people faced each other tit-for-tat, a year passed, and their identities were reversed. This pair of old enemies made this boring scene interesting.

Everyone showed expressions of watching the show.

This Shen Xiangxiang saw that the visitor was not kind, and his words were so unpleasant, he came here deliberately to find trouble.

"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Miss Shen. After Mr. Shen's accident, I heard that Mrs. Shen was also hospitalized and the child was almost lost. I thought Miss Shen would stay in the hospital to take care of Mrs. Shen, so I didn't reserve Miss Shen The location, I didn't expect..."

Ming Xin shook his head: "That's right. After all, Mrs. Shen is not Miss Shen's biological mother, so how can she be filial? After all, I overestimated Miss Shen's...benevolence and filial piety."

The word benevolence and filial piety is very ironic.

Ming Xin's words were beautiful, but he slapped them one by one.

Looking at this scene, everyone felt that Shen Xiangxiang was no match for Ming Xin and the sisters at all, no, there was no comparison at all.

Shen Xiangxiang, who was dressed up in fancy clothes, was obviously here to show off, but in the eyes of everyone, he looked like a clown.

Throwing sulfuric acid on the stepmother, and ignoring the accident of the father, but busy seizing power, this kind of unkind and unfilial person, whoever associates with her will not know when he will be stabbed.

Shen Xiangxiang's face became very ugly, and soon he laughed again: "I didn't come here today to quarrel with you, I came to celebrate grandma's birthday."

Grandma Zhu's face was even more ugly: "I said a year ago today that I don't have a granddaughter like you. Miss Shen called the wrong person. You are not welcome here."

"Grandma, why are you still angry with Xiangxiang? Xiangxiang already knew that he was wrong. You see, this is an apology gift for you. You will be happy to see it."

As Shen Xiangxiang said, he handed a document from his bag to Grandma Zhu, "Look at it first."

Lin Qing took it over, opened it and read it, then slammed it on Zhu Xiangxiang's face and cursed: "You bastard, what can the Zhu family do to you? You want to deceive us like this."

Shen Xiangxiang knelt down to pick it up, and said with a smile: "Mom, why are you angry? You have raised me for more than ten years anyway. In my heart, you are my real mother. Even if Zhu's Group is bought by me, I can still guarantee You spend the rest of your life in rich clothes and rich food."

This is an acquisition plan. The size of Zhu's Group cannot be compared with that of Shenzhou Group. If Shen Xiangxiang is determined to be cruel, he will only die worse if he keeps fighting.

But at the same time, the Shenzhou Group will also suffer a great loss of vitality. This is an act that harms others and does not benefit oneself. Shen Xiangxiang is a complete lunatic. She is taking revenge on Zhu's family by any means.

Lin Qing really hated Shen Xiangxiang to death. She actually raised a white-eyed wolf with her own hands. Thinking about the stupid things she did to protect her before, Lin Qinghui's intestines turned green.

Hearing Shen Xiangxiang's words, the audience was in an uproar.

I just feel that Shen Xiangxiang has changed beyond recognition, why is this girl so scary.

The Zhu family didn't owe her anything, so why did she want to take revenge on the Zhu family and drag the Shen family to hell.

Simply crazy.

Among the crowd, the corners of Xu Zumiao's mouth curved slightly.

This is the effect she wants. The more muddy the water in Jiangzhou is, the better it is. Shen Xiangxiang, who is acting as a shit stirrer, should be more crazy.

This will make it easier for her to fish in troubled waters.

Today's scene is very satisfying.

She subconsciously glanced at the man beside her, and took the initiative to put her face on it.

The man's deep voice fell on her ears, easily causing ripples in her heart.

"Are you tired? Shall I take you back first?"

Xu Zumiao thought to herself that she was getting more and more easily affected by this man, and there were some things that she could control without trying to control them.

"Let's forget it. On such an occasion, it's not appropriate for us to leave."

"What can I do?" Confident and domineering.

Xu Zumiao sighed in her heart, cursing herself for not living up to expectations.

"Miss Shen really knows how to tell jokes, is it up to you to buy Zhu's Group?"

Ming Xin came over, took the plan from Shen Xiangxiang, flipped through it casually: "Unfortunately, this is destined to be just a sweet dream, Miss Shen, it's time to wake up from the dream."

Mingxin tore up the documents and sprinkled them on Shen Xiangxiang's body one after another.

"It's okay, isn't it just a plan? You can tear it up if you like. I just need to make a phone call."

Shen Xiangxiang smiled, took out his mobile phone from his expensive bag, and made a call.

"Alice, I want you to lead the team to take down the Zhu Group immediately..."

Shen Xiangxiang had a smug expression on his face, but suddenly, that smug smile froze on his face, and it seemed a little funny for a moment.

"What did you say?" Shen Xiangxiang couldn't believe it.

Everyone saw Shen Xiangxiang's face change in an instant, and guessed in their hearts that something must have happened.

If there is another accident in the Shenzhou Group, I am afraid there will be no tomorrow.

She still has the time to shout at the Zhu family's banquet, which is really ridiculous.

Xu Zumiao noticed that something was wrong with Shen Xiangxiang's face, and his heart skipped a beat, with an ominous premonition.

She secretly took out her mobile phone from her handbag, and before she could glance at it, a man's deep voice came from her ear: "What's wrong with you? Is there anything else?"

In order not to make Ran Tengxiao suspicious, Xu Zumiao shook her head with a smile: "It's okay, but I suddenly feel a little tired, Xiao, can you take me back?"

Her intuition told her that she must leave here first.

"Of course." The man seemed to be very talkative, and he was about to leave with his arms around her waist.

At this time, a man in a suit and leather shoes walked in from the hall. A gentleman is like jade, gentle and lustrous. He is almost the best description of these eight words.

"I wish the old lady, the younger generation is late."

The people present were amazed when they saw him.

"It's Mr. Bo."

Bo Yuxun was no stranger to Jiangzhou people.

The old lady Zhu sighed: "Mr. Bo, I made you laugh."

"Ding Jing used to rely on the Zhu family to take care of him. As Ming Jing's uncle, I can only be grateful to the Zhu family. The Zhu family's affairs are my business."

Bo Yuxun's words shocked everyone present.

Bo Yuxun was actually Ming Jing's biological uncle. There were so many gossips between the two of them before, but now that I think about it, there is no love between men and women.

Bo Yuxun knew everything he needed to know about Bo Yuxun's background, and now he didn't know whether to envy Ding Jing's complex and rich identity, or to be jealous of Zhu's family's shit luck, so he was on a high again.

"Are you Ming Jing's real uncle?" Shen Xiangxiang was suspicious.

"how can that be?"

Bo Yuxun raised his eyebrows: "Miss Shen, you still have the mood to question my Mingjing's background, I really admire you."

"Colluded with overseas reactionary forces, framed Mr. Shen and imprisoned him. He still didn't give up. He sent killers to assassinate Mr. Shen with the intention of overthrowing Jiangzhou. I remember that Mr. Shen is your biological father, right? The reason why you are standing here glamorously, What do you rely on? You should know better than anyone else. "

Bo Yuxun shook his head: "I feel really sorry for Mr. Shen."

Following Bo Yuxun's words, the scene was in an uproar.

This is really explosive news.

For a moment, everyone looked at Shen Xiangxiang's eyes and they didn't expect her to be dozens of times more hateful than imagined. Is this something that carbon-based organisms can do? Animals have more conscience than her.

Shen Xiangxiang's face turned pale, and he roared through gritted teeth: "You are talking nonsense, I will sue you for defamation."

Xu Zumiao bit her red lips tightly, feeling flustered in her heart.

Don't panic, don't panic at this time, you must stay calm.

Bo Yuxun looked at Shen Xiangxiang as if he was looking at a fool, and he said in a compassionate tone: "You have gone astray in your good life, it is really hateful and pathetic, if you confess on your own initiative, maybe you can be punished lightly, otherwise ...."

Bo Yuxun let out a long sigh.

"You're talking nonsense, I don't know anything at all." Shen Xiangxiang turned around and was about to leave, his steps were flustered, and in a moment of impatience, his high heels sprained, and he fell on the carpet in a very embarrassed posture.

Shen Xiangxiang raised his eyes, and saw the expressionless face of the woman in the crowd, and the murderous intent in her eyes.
