Chapter 13: She Doesn’t Deserve It

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A few days later, Liang Ran’s father was buried.

Liang Ran and Bi Wen accompanied him for a long time in the cemetery until Liang Ran could not hold on any longer and fainted. Then, Bi Wen forcibly brought her home.

As soon as they arrived at the doorstep, they saw a car parked there.

Bi Wen had been frightened by the debt collectors recently. When she saw a car with an unfamiliar plate parked at the door, she subconsciously reached out to pull Liang Ran.

Liang Ran grabbed her hand and comforted her. “It’s fine, Mom. This is Mr. Ji’s car. You can go back first. I’m going out today.”

Bi Wen looked at her hesitantly, and Liang Ran gave her a reassuring look. She then reluctantly went inside.

Guan Shen got out of the car and opened the door for Liang Ran.

“Miss Liang, please get in the car.”

Liang Ran didn’t say anything. She bent down and sat inside.

Ji Xuan was sitting by the window on the other side. He looked up at her, then his gaze returned to his phone.

“Mr. Ji, where are we going?” asked Liang Ran.

“To attend a family banquet,” Ji Xuan said lightly.

Family banquet?

Liang Ran had never heard about Ji Xuan’s family affairs, and why did he want to take her to a family banquet? Was it appropriate for her to go given their relationship?

“Should I go back and change my clothes?”

She had just returned from the cemetery, and her clothes were completely unsuitable for attending a banquet.

Ji Xuan looked at her again. Indeed, people said that true beauties were in mourning clothes. Liang Ran was born beautiful and her face was exquisite. She already looked very charming in her usual clothes.

Now in this outfit, she had a touch of vulnerability, which was eye-catching.

“You don’t have to change. This outfit suits you very well.”

Liang Ran was puzzled and probed, “Who are there at the family banquet?”

This kind of probing was too obvious, and Ji Xuan immediately noticed it. He raised his eyebrows. “You should know better than me about who is in the Zeng family.”

Shocked, Liang Ran felt uneasy. “What is Mr. Ji’s relationship with the Zeng family?”

Ji Xuan smiled at her. “What do you think our relationship is?”

Liang Ran had many speculations in her mind and offered what she thought was the closest answer.

“Are you Zeng Lu’s half-brother?”

Ji Xuan’s expression turned cold. “Does she deserve it?”

His voice was cold and he sounded a little angry, but Liang Ran heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, it seemed that his relationship with the Zeng family was not good.

If Ji Xuan stood on the Zeng family’s side, he would be her strongest enemy.

“Then, when I get to the Zeng Family, what attitude should I use towards them?” Liang Ran asked cautiously.

Ji Xuan replied, “Just behave the same way you did before. And if you can make the Zeng family uncomfortable, I’ll give you an extra reward.”

Make the Zeng Family uncomfortable? That would be too simple.

Liang Ran felt completely at ease and raised three fingers, saying solemnly, “Got it. I promise to complete the task.”

Her fair and delicate face also had a hint of playfulness. Ji Xuan changed to a more comfortable sitting position and gestured to Liang Ran, “Come and sit here.”

Liang Ran rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking to herself: “Do you think you’re calling a dog?”

Although she thought this way, she smiled and slowly moved over, leaning close to Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan reached out and pulled Liang Ran onto his lap.

Liang Ran exclaimed and instinctively hugged his neck.

Ji Xuan held her waist with one hand and pressed the back of her neck with the other, pushing her head towards him.

Whether it was kissing or making love, he was fierce and passionate, appearing eager and impatient.

Liang Ran silently cooperated, taking the initiative to open her lips and let him in. Their tongues intertwined, like every deeply in love couple in this world, but had no feelings.

After the kiss, Liang Ran’s lips were red and hot. It was obvious how much strength Ji Xuan had used.

Liang Ran panted slightly and leaned into his embrace.

Ji Xuan held her thin shoulders with both hands and pulled her away. Then, his gaze lingered on her face for a moment. “Your face is so pale, your lips should be a little red to match.”

Liang Ran couldn’t see the color of her lips, but she could feel the burning pain. She smiled at Ji Xuan, but her smile wasn’t particularly attractive.

Ji Xuan lowered his head to look at his phone and said lightly, “Your smile is too fake. You need to practice more.”

Liang Ran was speechless.

Guan Shen, who was driving in front, pursed his lips, suppressing his laugh and driving with a straight face. His acting skills were top-notch.
