Su Ran raised an eyebrow. "Taken by the Chu family? How come I don’t know? Did it go through my approval?"
Chu Xiyao sneered, looking at her as if she were insane.
This woman couldn’t really be crazy, could she?
Go through her approval?
Why should anything belonging to the Yan family require her consent?
She glanced at Fu Qiyuan with an indistinct expression before turning to Su Ran and saying,
"Sister-in-law, even if you are now Qi Yuan’s fiancée, you can’t interfere with other people’s family matters, right? Why should anything of the Yan family go through your approval?"
Su Ran blinked. "I’m sorry, they actually do need to go through my approval."
Chu Xiyao scoffed. "On what grounds?"
"Because that piece of land is now mine!!"
Chu Xiyao laughed coldly. Yan Shuming had just agreed to sell that piece of land to the Chu family; when did it become this woman’s?
She must be insane to spout such nonsense.
"Since when did something of the Chu family become yours?"
Su Ran’s face showed confusion. "I’m also curious, since when did my property become Chu family’s?"
A flash of anger crossed Chu Xiyao’s face; this woman was simply making a scene.
"Sister-in-law claims the land is yours? Do you have any proof?"
Su Ran took out a piece of paper from her bag, slowly unfolding it and facing Chu Xiyao.
"Are you referring to this?"
A sarcastic expression was on Chu Xiyao’s face, but the next moment it drastically changed!
She looked incredulously at the item in Su Ran’s hand, her face turning pale.
Su Ran methodically put the item away and slightly curved her lips.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Yan just lost that land to me five minutes ago!"
Fu Qiyuan’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
Su Ran sharply noticed a change in the man’s demeanor, and her expression froze on her face.
She had forgotten that Fu Qiyuan was by her side and inadvertently spoken the truth.
"This is impossible!"
Chu Xiyao blurted out instinctively, her complexion ashen.
"If Miss Chu has any doubts, you can go to Mr. Yan yourself."
Su Ran looked at Chu Xiyao’s unattractive face, her brows teasingly raised.
"I’m curious though, why would Miss Chu take something that belongs to me and discuss business with my fiancé? There’s no such thing in this world, right? Mr. Yan?"
As she spoke, Su Ran slightly turned her gaze behind her.
Chu Xiyao tensed up, lifted her head abruptly, and saw Yan Shuming not far away.
The man’s eyes were deep, his face expressionless. He had clearly heard their conversation!
Chu Xiyao’s face turned even paler, panic flashing through her.
Su Ran laughed sarcastically, looking up at Fu Qiyuan.
"Ah Yuan, let’s go back; I’m a bit hungry!"
Fu Qiyuan’s thoughts were fully focused on Su Ran; he had not spared a single glance for them from beginning to end.
Hearing Su Ran say she was hungry, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and immediately left!
Suddenly, only Yan Shuming and Chu Xiyao were left.
However, Yan Shuming just looked at Chu Xiyao deeply and, without saying a word, turned and walked away!
Chu Xiyao was biting her lip tightly, her face pale and furious!
Why? Why had the land ended up in Su Ran’s hands?
The blueprint she had envisioned in her mind was utterly destroyed.
Originally she wanted Yan Shuming to teach her a lesson, but now...
Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice!
Crazy anger flooded Chu Xiyao’s eyes, nowhere could one find her usual calm self-restraint or her dignified and elegant appearance.
From the first time she met Su Ran, her perfect life became a mess, everything spiraling out of her control.
Moreover, suffering losses at Su Ran’s hands one after another these past few days had made her even more certain that she could no longer afford to be soft-hearted.
Did this woman think she could now just walk into the doors of the Fu family?
She still had an ace up her sleeve!
Chu Xiyao took a deep breath, took out her phone, and dialed a number.
"Yes, really! A designer, I don’t know what Qi Yuan is thinking..."
After hanging up the phone, a smile once again crept onto Chu Xiyao’s face.
Following the departure of Fu Qiyuan and the others, the rest felt it was no fun to stay and they too left one after another.
When Chu Xiyao returned to the Archery Hall, only Mu Linhao was left.
Chu Xiyao asked in surprise upon seeing him.
"I was waiting for you!"
"Is there something you need?" Chu Xiyao asked.
"Considering the relationship between our two families, I just wanted to give you a word of advice, don’t test Qi Yuan’s patience!"
Chu Xiyao’s face turned completely cold, "What do you mean?"
"What do you think I mean?"
Without saying a word, her face cold, Chu Xiyao listened as Mu Linhao spoke directly.
"Shangjie and Qi Xiu care too much and get confused, but anyone with eyes can see your actions today. What are you trying to do? Become a mistress and intrude on someone else’s relationship?"
With an indifferent expression, Chu Xiyao retorted, "She is not worthy of Qi Yuan."
"Whether she’s worthy is for those two to decide. You just need to remember, she is Qi Yuan’s fiancée!"
Without changing her expression, Chu Xiyao challenged, "Fiancée is just fiancée, they haven’t actually married. Why can’t I compete fairly?"
Mu Linhao’s eyes narrowed slightly, his tone becoming stern.
"It seems you are determined to be obstinate."
Chu Xiyao’s emotions suddenly flared.
"What do you mean determined to be obstinate? I am just taking back what belongs to me, what’s wrong with that?! What does that woman have?
Besides a bit of cleverness, what does she have? All she does is bring trouble to Qi Yuan and become his burden!"
What she needed to do was make him realize his mistake, and quickly.
To prove with facts just how ludicrous his error was!
"I’m telling you this as a friend, but this is as far as words can go. Perhaps you can try to challenge him and see, for yourself and for the Chu family, just how much patience Qi Yuan can have!"
Looking at Chu Xiyao’s stubborn appearance, Mu Linhao couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
How could such a smart and proud woman let go easily?
But he also knew very well that if she continued to be delusional, then Qi Yuan...
As a friend, he had already done what he should do.
From now on, it’s each person’s own choice!
Leaving the Archery Hall, Fu Qiyuan silently led Su Ran towards the car.
Following behind the two, Fu Qixiu could clearly sense that something was off!
He glanced at his brother and slowly moved closer to Su Ran.
"Sister-in-law, what happened? Why do I feel like my brother...is in a bad mood?"
The corners of Su Ran’s mouth twitched involuntarily. How could he be in a good mood after being caught misbehaving?
She looked at Fu Qixiu seriously, lying without batting an eye.
"Really? I don’t feel that way."
If we’re going to die, let’s die together!
Fu Qixiu, always sensitive to his brother’s feelings: "..."
He was no fool; did she really think he was that easy to fool?
Unable to help rolling his eyes, Fu Qixiu retorted, "Don’t think just because you can lie without blinking that I don’t know what you’re up to. Tell the truth!"
