While everyone else was stunned by Ji Xuan’s words, Liang Ran found it amusing.

Ji Xuan even said she was sharp-tongued, but he was no less so himself.

Zeng Hui was so angry that his face turned ashen, and his breathing became much faster. He Yuan slowly helped him to ease his breathing. Actually, she was also angry. She did not expect Ji Xuan to speak up for Liang Ran.

The situation was in a stalemate for a moment. He Yuan slowly adjusted her breathing and took the initiative to make a concession. She said to Zeng Hui, “Maybe it’s just a misunderstanding. Let’s not get involved in the matters of these young people.”

Zeng Hui’s face still looked bad, but surprisingly, he followed He Yuan when she left, accepting her advice.

Leng Ran knew the Zeng family better than anyone else. The reason why they could let it go so easily in their own home was probably because of Ji Xuan.

Liang Ran sighed lightly. “Mr. Ji is really influential. You just slapped them in the face and got away with it so easily.”

Ji Xuan stared at her for a moment, then reached out to touch her face. “The Zeng family is where they are today because they stole it from the Ji Family. What can they do?”

Liang Ran was surprised. There was too much information in Ji Xuan’s words.

Ji Xuan didn’t continue speaking. Instead, he moved closer and breathed into Liang Ran’s ear. He saw that Liang Ran’s face was red and said, “Didn’t you choose me because of how influential I am?”

Liang Ran did not refute it because Ji Xuan was telling the truth. She was indeed attracted by Ji Xuan’s status.

In the following time, few gathered around the two of them. Because of Ji Xuan’s presence, even Zeng Lu, who always liked to stir up trouble, avoided them.

Ji Xuan was happy and comfortable, sitting down with Liang Ran as if they were the only ones there.

People around them were secretly observing the two, especially Fan Jin, whose eyes were always fixed on Liang Ran.

It wasn’t until everyone had arrived at the banquet that He Yuan came over and asked Ji Xuan to go over. After all, Zeng Hui was his stepfather, although Ji Xuan didn’t want to acknowledge him.

Ji Xuan actually did not want to go over, but when he saw Liang Ran secretly give him a look, he finally stood up and followed He Yuan into the crowd.

Zeng Hui’s birthday banquet was supposed to be just a family dinner, but in the end, he invited so many people. It was really hypocritical.

Zeng Hui stood up and said a few words before formally introducing He Yuan to everyone present.

He Yuan walked over to him with a smile on her face, but when she saw Ji Xuan standing with his arms crossed on the opposite side, she gestured for him to stand next to her.

Ji Xuan ignored her. He didn’t want to have anything to do with the Zeng family, let alone allow them to take advantage of him.

He Yuan’s smile slowly stiffened, and Zeng Hui’s expression was not too good either. However, if she spoke now, she would most likely be rejected by Ji Xuan. That would be really embarrassing.

The two of them accepted everyone’s blessings, whether sincere or insincere.

After this segment, Zeng Lu, who had changed into a new gown, walked up with a smile. She first gave her blessings and then said, “I’ve prepared a surprise for Grandpa.”

After saying that, she smiled and gestured to the second floor.

Liang Ran understood and a smile appeared on her face. “So Zeng Lu prepared this.”

Ji Xuan glanced at her, but he didn’t say anything. His eyes were fixed on the huge display screen.

A few seconds later, the screen suddenly lit up.

Under the dim yellow light, two bodies were entangled, and there were ambiguous moans and gasps.

The crowd was silent at first, but then they exclaimed.

Zeng Lu’s expression changed drastically, and like a lunatic who had lost her mind, she roared, “What’s going on? Turn it off, turn it off.”

Following her angry roar, the scene gradually became clearer.

Zeng Lu’s hands were wrapped around Fan Jin’s neck, and her face was flushed. She opened her mouth, and her voice trembled slightly. “Didn’t you say that you’ll break up soon? Why haven’t you said anything yet?”

Fan Jin’s lower body moved and he said in a low voice, “I asked her out tonight to talk about this.”

Zeng Lu obviously didn’t believe him. She reached out and grabbed his back. “Why did you choose a hotel to break up?”

The image stopped abruptly, and the display screen went black. It didn’t last long, only about a minute, but the amount of information contained was enormous.
