Gu Zhichao probably knew what was going on, and hurriedly said, "President Xing, you misunderstood. How could my son covet your woman? He would never dare!"
Gu Zhichao was making an absolute assurance, looking very confident, fearing that any hint of uncertainty in his words would anger this formidable figure before him!
However, Xing Chen curled his lips, his smile growing more bloodthirsty, "Oh? Really? Then what about the marriage arrangement between your two families..."
"Oh, that marriage arrangement... It was originally said that Beichuan was to marry Qianqian, but later, I don’t know who was spreading rumors and got things mixed up. Actually, it’s Qianqian who is supposed to marry our Beichuan, right Qianqian?" Gu Zhichao, who valued his life, just found out about his son’s situation and was so scared that his vision blurred, almost fainting!
So, he rushed over without delay, just to resolve the misunderstanding with Xing Chen!
Xing Chen had not yet decided whether to forgive Ran Yingqian for her earlier mistakes, and now Gu Zhichao suddenly stepped in, making remarks that also provoked Ran Yingqian.
"No! It’s Xiangsi who is marrying Gu Beichuan! We agreed on this a long time ago!" Ran Yingqian gritted her teeth and retorted.
To put it nicely, she was fearless like a newborn calf; to put it bluntly, she was brainless.
Everyone was fearful of Xing Chen, except for her, who was oblivious.
With Ran Yingqian’s outburst, it didn’t take Xing Chen and Ran Xiangsi to do anything, as someone naturally stepped in to teach her a lesson.
Gu Zhichao immediately scolded Ran Yingqian sternly, "Qianqian! How ungrateful are you! Is our Beichuan not good enough for you? Did you and Tan Xinjie’s son go to your sister’s house to make trouble? The Tan Family’s business, as big as it was, collapsed completely overnight! Even all the people of the Tan Family disappeared from A City. Don’t you understand what this means? Hurry up and apologize to President Xing!"
This was why, upon hearing that his son was here, Gu Zhichao rushed over in such a hurry.
They had only heard rumors about how ruthless Xing Chen could be.
Now, having witnessed the complete annihilation of the Tan Family from A City overnight, Gu Zhichao wouldn’t dare provoke Xing Chen.
"What?" Ran Yingqian was evidently in disbelief, "Tan Xinjie... No wonder I couldn’t reach him these past few days..."
Ran Zhonghai stood at one side, looking increasingly troubled.
He knew that the Tan Family had been dealt with but had not expected that it was Xing Chen who took action.
That day, Ran Yingqian and Tan Xinjie went to trouble Ran Xiangsi, and it was Tan Xinjie who hit Ran Xiangsi, causing her head to need stitches.
These days, Ran Xiangsi had been complaining of headaches, something that Xing Chen had noticed.
Your people were easily bullied by outsiders, and if he didn’t do something, how could he live up to his swift and decisive style?
So, he ordered his men to make the Tan Family pay. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt
It was only now that Ran Xiangsi realized that something had happened to Tan Xinjie.
She looked at Xing Chen in surprise, silently questioning him if this was true.
Xing Chen looked back at her, and in their gaze, an inexplicable feeling seemed to be communicated between them.
Xing Chen did not deny it, and Ran Xiangsi understood that it was really him who did it.
Over the past few days, he had not mentioned anything about the Tan Family, and she hadn’t expected him to solve the problem so quietly and beautifully?
Xiangsi just looked at the man sitting beside her, and suddenly smiled.
