Chapter 994 Ji Xiuhan, I will never let you go.
Xiao Ran stayed in his room the whole time!
Today is the engagement day, so naturally we can no longer stay at the Ye family home.
From afar, she could hear Xiao Wenbo's loud commotion, and her heart turned cold; she realized that her father was truly unworthy of respect.
Although Xiao Wenbo was her father and doted on her when she was young, as Xiao Ran grew up, Xiao Wenbo devoted almost all his love to the Xiao Yuanhao brothers.
In particular, the once prosperous Xiao family not only failed to be passed down smoothly under his leadership, but was instead thrown into chaos and gradually declined.
If he hadn't been removed from his position as head of the family as soon as possible and allowed to remain in power for another twenty years, the entire Xiao family would probably have been reduced to a second- or even third-rate family, let alone a prestigious family.
Therefore, even though he caused his father to lose face and reputation, Xiao Ran has no regrets to this day.
Of course, Xiao Wenbo still doesn't know that the incident involving Chen Fang and her two children was all orchestrated by Xiao Ran in secret.
"It's best if he doesn't go, so he won't embarrass himself again!"
"If today goes smoothly, everything will be fine!"
Xiao Ran sat quietly, with two makeup artists by her side the whole time.
These two are naturally top makeup artists in the capital, but they were not hired by the Xiao family. Instead, they were specially arranged by Madam Xiao for Xiao Ran, and she even booked them for two days.
For the next two days, they will stay by Xiao Ran's side without leaving her side, doing her makeup and touch-ups at any time, to ensure that the engagement banquet is the most luxurious, perfect, and grand ever.
Looking at himself in the mirror, dressed in magnificent clothes, not to mention others, even Xiao Ran himself felt that his appearance was so beautiful that it could topple kingdoms and that he was naturally noble, just like the legendary empress.
After watching for a moment, a sudden pang of sadness welled up in her heart, an indescribable bitterness: "I, Xiao Ran, am really going to get married, but unfortunately, the person I'm going to marry is not Ji Xiuhan, but that disreputable Young Master Ye!"
"Ji Xiuhan, you bastard! You've ruined my life! You're a complete scoundrel!"
"I really don't know if you know about my engagement, or if you've seen the news about it. I also don't know what you'll think if you do."
"Ji Xiuhan, you're the one who caused all of this!"
I will not let you go, I will never let you go!
If I'm not doing well, I'll make sure you're not doing well either!
"Just wait for my revenge! Wait for me to torture that bitch you like until she's neither human nor ghost, to completely destroy your entire Ji Group, and to trample you all under my feet!"
I also want you to watch your beloved woman die in agony right before your eyes…
Xiao Ran grew angrier the more he thought about it, roaring inwardly.
Meanwhile, back in Ningcheng, Miss Gao Xiao'e had been staying with Zhou Renjie in Linhai City when she suddenly received a call from her mother, Xiao Min, a day ago, urging her to return to Ningcheng as soon as possible, saying that she had important matters to discuss.
Gao Xiao'e pressed for details about what happened, but Xiao Min refused to tell her directly, only urging her to return as soon as possible.
Just then, Zhou Renjie's affairs were handled properly, and the entire Feilong Group was back on track. The key personnel in the crucial departments had all been replaced by trusted confidants.
Even if he leaves Feilong Group now, the company can still operate normally without any problems.
He had been away from the Ji Group for seventeen or eighteen days, and Ji Xiuhan was not at home. The group headquarters had a lot of things piling up waiting for him to go back and deal with.
So Zhou Renjie took Gao Xiao'e back to Ningcheng.
But Gao Xiao'e only found out when she got home that her mother had asked her to come back so that she could accompany her to the capital to attend Xiao Ran's engagement banquet.
Madam Gao, Xiao Min, is Xiao Ran's only aunt. Xiao Yuanqing specially called her to invite her and her family to the event, and also invited Gao Xiao'e.
Although Xiao Min vaguely felt that Gao Xiao'e and Zhou Renjie getting together might be related to Xiao Ran, or even that Xiao Ran might have done something to wrong Gao Xiao'e, she naturally couldn't refuse because her nephew Xiao Yuanqing was now the head of the Xiao family.
Her nephew from her maternal family was her greatest support. If she suffered any grievances in her husband's family in the future, only this eldest nephew would stand up for her.
Moreover, with Xiao Yuanqing becoming the head of the Xiao family, the Gao family would have to rely on him in the future. Therefore, Xiao Min asked Gao Xiao'e and her son to accompany her to the capital to attend the engagement banquet.
Unfortunately, Gao Xiao'e's brother was away on a business trip abroad and couldn't come back for the time being.
Therefore, Gao Xiao'e became the only candidate who had to go.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for Xiao Min to go back to her parents' home alone.
As for Gao Xiao'e's father, it would be best not to go.
When Xiao Min married Gao's father, the Xiao family always disagreed and looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts. Xiao Wenbo, in particular, never had a proper meal or spoke a word to Gao's father in his entire life.
Therefore, Gao's father would never go.
Therefore, Gao Xiao'e became the only candidate.
Upon learning the reason, Gao Xiao'e immediately jumped up and shouted, "I've been tricked! I've been tricked! So you tricked me into coming back just to attend that woman's engagement party! I'm not going! I'm not going! I'd rather die than go!"
"You have to go, whether you like it or not! Even if I tie you up, you have to come with me! Otherwise, I'll disown you as my daughter!"
Xiao Min's face darkened, and her tone hardened.
Even Gao's father frowned and said in a deep voice, "You must go with your mother this time. This is a matter of your mother's reputation!"
He himself was unwilling to go, but his daughter had to be there.
"Why did my brother have to go on a business trip at this time? Did he deliberately avoid it? Are you all in cahoots to set a trap for me?!"
Gao Xiao'e knew her father couldn't go, so she didn't make things difficult for him.
"Don't overthink it. We'll take a plane early tomorrow morning, arrive in the capital in the morning, attend the engagement banquet, and come back in the afternoon. We won't let you stay at the Xiao family any longer!"
"My child, even if I'm begging you, this is about my pride!"
Xiao Min softened her tone.
"Alright then! It's a promise, I'll come back after the wedding, and I absolutely cannot stay at the Xiao family's house!"
Gao Xiao'e finally nodded in agreement.
The next morning, Gao Xiao'e called Zhou Renjie to explain the situation, and then she and Xiao Min took a plane to the capital.
Zhou Renjie was usually busy with his work and rarely checked the news. Gao Xiao'e told him most of the things.
Gao Xiao'e least wants to see Xiao Ran right now, so she avoids reading any news about Xiao Ran and Young Master Ye.
This also means that the two of them are still unaware that Xiao Ran and Ye Haitao are getting engaged today.
"I never expected that Xiao Ran would actually get engaged to that idiot Ye Haitao in the end!"
"They're a good match, really, but that idiot Ye Haitao will probably be devoured by Miss Xiao Ran until there's nothing left!"
Thinking of Xiao Ran's various methods, Zhou Renjie shook his head.
After Gao Xiao'e and her mother got off the plane, they rushed to the Xiao family home, arriving at 10 a.m.
Because the Xiao family has always looked down on the Gao family, even though they are close relatives, Xiao Min rarely returned to her parents' home after marrying into Ningcheng, and Gao Xiao'e rarely set foot in the Xiao family.
Standing in front of the Xiao family's gate, looking at the imposing gate tower and the giant stone lions on both sides, one is immediately struck by the aura of a powerful and prestigious family.
Even Gao Xiao'e couldn't help but secretly admire that the Xiao family was indeed the Xiao family.
Just as the two got out of the taxi and were looking around, a man at the door suddenly shouted sternly, "No idlers allowed to linger in front of the Xiao family's gate! Get out of the way!"
