From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 695: 357 Relics (15 more updates)_2

Zhao Qin gritted her teeth and said, “Cousin, since she’s your father’s daughter, you should have killed her to eliminate future problems. Are you going to let her compete with you for the position?”

“Cousin, we live in the age of the rule of law now. Don’t always talk about fighting and killing. Have you not noticed that Sergeant Li hasn’t gone far?”

Li Ling really hadn’t left; he had been observing Ran Tengxiao in secret. Now that he was pointed out, he showed no embarrassment.

“Mr. Ran is quite perceptive.” Could a man with bloody hands say such words without feeling ridiculous?

“Of course, I’m a law-abiding citizen. In the whole Jiangzhou, who pays more taxes than me?”

That was true.

But he also had a habit of placing the law below his authority.

“Take care of yourself.” Li Ling left after speaking.

Ran Tengxiao squinted, “The young man is full of energy. Look into his background.”

“Yes.”

Ye Jian found a chair, “Master Xiao, please sit.”

Ran Tengxiao looked around, “Where’s Ye Feng?”

“He went to chase Xi Yu.”

“Call him back, that silly boy, with his strong limbs and simple mind, he can’t compete with Xi Yu.”

Ran Tengxiao sat down in the chair, looking at the magnificent hall. Just a moment ago, it was full of people and luxury; now it was empty, leaving only desolation.

“I will discipline my junior brother more strictly in the future.”

“How can you restrain a wild horse? If it’s tamed, it loses its nature.”

Ye Jian nodded in agreement.

“Did you see the look on Jiang Chunlan’s face?” Ran Tengxiao began to laugh.

“I’ve never seen her so discomposed. She must be extremely resentful right now, probably venting her anger by smashing things. She admired and liked her junior so much, but it turned out to be the daughter of her husband’s killer. Our omnipotent Madam Jiang will start having headaches.”

“I wonder if she’s satisfied with the big gift I’ve sent her?”

Ye Jian didn’t dare to make a sound; he couldn’t figure out what his master was thinking.

“Ms. Ming Jing… ”

Ran Tengxiao glanced at him, and Ye Jian immediately corrected himself, “The young lady is Master Wen’s bloodline, given the drama tonight, the entire Jiangzhou and even the whole country will know about it tomorrow. I’m afraid it will affect her reputation. Do we need to… ”

Ye Jian thought of the internet term “water army.”

“Do the people of The Rans have a good reputation to speak of?”

Ran Tengxiao’s words left Ye Jian speechless. Which member of The Rans didn’t have a notorious reputation? Even if you used a ton of “water army,” you couldn’t wash it away.

Zhao Qin didn’t stay long and left the hotel soon after.

As soon as she left the hotel, she called Ran Qing. Ran Qing had been confined at home by Ran Tengxiao since the last incident, and her days were filled with eating and sleeping.

She had trouble sleeping and took a sedative every night. Now it was 10 pm, and Ran Qing should have been asleep, but she answered the phone.

“Mom, there’s trouble.”

Ran Qing was about to take her medication and asked, “Weren’t you at The Zhus’ banquet? What happened?”

“Ming Jing, she turned out to be Ran Bowen’s daughter.”

“What?”

Ran Qing dropped her glass of water on the floor, shattering it. She ignored the water splashing on her foot and hurriedly asked, “Are you sure? Ran Bowen has been dead for over a decade. Where did a daughter come from?”

“It’s true. My cousin came in person. He wouldn’t joke about something like this. Ran Bowen hid his wife and daughter very well back then, and my cousin only found her recently.”

Ran Qing asked, “Who did you just say?”

“Ming Jing, the President of the Jockey Club, Ming Jing. If not for her, you wouldn’t have been confined at home now, right?”

Ran Qing’s voice trembled, “How could it be her?”

“Impossible, it absolutely impossible… How could she be Ran Bowen’s daughter?”

Ran Qing had heard rumors about Ran Bowen having a mistress who had given birth to a child for him, but she had never seen the woman and assumed it to be gossip. Who would have thought that it would be Ming Jing?

Ran Qing suddenly remembered another rumor, “Ran Tengxiao picked her up in person?”

“Not only did he pick her up in person, but he also taught a lesson to the people who scolded her.”

Would Ran Tengxiao be so idle? This man was even more ruthless than Ran Bowen in his heyday.

Ran Bowen, although notorious in front of the world, still had a lingering presence within the Qinglong Association. After all, he was the founder of the Qinglong Association.

If his bloodline still lived, they would be the rightful young master of the Qinglong Association.

How could Ran Tengxiao tolerate the existence of this child? He must have wanted to kill her.

But in front of everyone, he respectfully went to pick her up.
