Chapter 357: Dig the corner of the wall   Chapter 357: Dig the corner of the wall                                   Su Ran hooked her lips, “Don’t look at me like that, in the world of business the victor is king, and the vanquished is the ouw, it all depends on whether you have the ability!”


    With her words as cold as a winter’s breeze, Su Ran turned and walked away.


    Mo Shangjie followed closely behind her, taking on the role of her guardian angel.


    “Su Xiaoran, you were really so mighty and domineering just now, I never realized you had such a fierce side before.”


    Having witnessed that incredibly ferocious side of her, Mo Shangjie was also taken aback.


    Especially that look in her eyes just now, he couldn’t help but reach out and touch his own neck.


    Still there!


    Mama mia, that was truly terrifying!


    For a moment, he truly thought she was a cold-blooded demon, her aura was so much like the boss’s!


    “We weren’t close before!”


    Mo Shangjie wore a ttering smile, “It’s fine that we weren’t close before, aren’t we close now? No wonder you’re with the boss, you two really act alike.”


    Su Ran hooked her lips, “Doesn’t that just show we’re a match made in heaven?”


    Mo Shangjie suddenly widened his eyes, giving her an admiring thumbs-up.


    It seems that no matter where you go, you can’t escape the fate of being force-fed dog food!


    But thankfully,pared to the sister-inw, the boss is even more ruthless.


    “How are we alike?”


    Su Ran raised an eyebrow, asking again.


    Mo Shangjie’s lips twitched, “Equally terrifying.”


    Su Ran frowned, casting him a displeased nce.


    “How are we terrifying?”


    Mo Shangjie’s legs went weak, his eyes bulging.


    “You’re not terrifying? Do you realize you almost strangled that woman just now? Are you under some kind of delusion about yourself?”


    Su Ran remained impassive, merely stating,


    “She didn’t die, did she?”


    Upon hearing this, Mo Shangjie gasped in shock, did he detect a note of regret?


    No!


    He must have heard wrong!


    “It wouldn’t matter if she did die, the boss could handle it, it’s just that doing it in front of an audience would’ve looked bad!”


    Su Ran couldn’t help but roll her eyes.


    Who exactly is more terrifying?


    Mo Shangjie couldn’t help but sigh deeply, “Yong City used to have just one tiger, now there’s another, and a tigress at that, and the key is these two have actuallye together, ah…”


    Su Ran gritted her teeth, her hands starting to itch; what should she do?


    Meeting Su Ran’s gaze, Mo Shangjie shivered all over and shed a big, white-toothed grin.


    “I’m saying you and the boss are well-matched, you know what they say, a mountain cannot contain two tigers, unless one is male and the other female!”


    Su Ran: “…”


    Buried in Gu Heng’s arms, Su Xinyan watched Su Ran with a face dark as thunder.


    The expression of terror from before had vanishedpletely.


    The facade of vulnerability and innocence slipped away in that moment.


    What remained was sheer spite and hatred filling her eyes and heart.


    She could no longer care why Su Ran knew Mo Shangjie, all she wanted now was to carve her up into pieces, to quell the hatred in her heart!


    Su Ran, just you wait!


    The humiliation I suffered today, one day, I will return it to you twofold.


    “Brother Heng…”


    Su Xinyan took a deep breath, calling out gently, an image of helplessness and grievance.


    “What’s wrong?”


    Upon hearing Su Xinyan’s voice, Gu Heng snapped back to reality, his heart still reeling from the shock that Su Ran had brought him.


    She looked up at Gu Heng, her expression filled with sorrow and distress.


    “Sister… she…”


    The intention to speak yet stopping halfway was evident, her eyes brimming with grief and sadness.


    Gu Heng’s heart was suddenly clenched, and he felt a constriction in his chest.


    After a long while.


    “Xinyan, if you see Xiao Ran in the future, stay away from her!”


    Su Xinyan paused slightly, her tear-stained face momentarily rigid. Biting her lip, she asked softly,


    “Why?”


    Gu Heng sighed lightly, “I’m afraid she will hurt you!”


    Su Xinyan’s eyes flickered, a sh of tension quickly passing through them.


    Immediately after, her face wore a trace of a miserable smile.


    “But now, it’s she who won’t let me go!”


    Gu Heng stiffened all over, and after a long moment, he sighed softly.


    Indeed!


    It was always Xiao Ran who started the trouble!


    Xinyan had never made things difficult for her!


    –


    The incident where Su Ran nearly strangled Su Xinyan to death had shaken everyone. People whispered among themselves behind closed doors, but no one dared to talk about it in front of Su Ran.


    Only, after tonight’s incident, Su Ran’s reputation as “malicious” became even more entrenched, to the point where she was unsurpassed by anyone.


    Second floor.


    In a private rest area.


    This spot faced the terrace, so everything happening on the terrace was in in view of those in the rest area.


    Fu Qiyuan, dressed in expensive, designer attire, held a ss of red wine in his hand. The transparent ss swirled with the red liquid, reflecting colorful light, while the diamond cufflinks at his wrist sparkled dazzlingly.


    All the light refracted onto his face, rifying his striking and unparalleled features.


    His deep and profound gaze was fixed on Su Ran, his thin lips curling into a trace of indulgence, endlessly doting.


    “Howe I never noticed before that she could be so charming?”


    Beside Fu Qiyuan, on the sofa, sat a man also impably dressed in a suit, tall and well-proportioned. The man, also holding a ss of red wine, wore a well-tailored suit that highlighted his stately aura that couldn’t be ignored.


    His sharp, ck-and-white eyes carried a touch of chill, his handsome face both charming and a bit cold. He sipped on the red wine and said casually.


    However, his cold, low voice betrayed an underlying tone of strong interest.


    As he finished speaking, a cold aura seemed to spread beside him.


    The man raised his eyebrows slightly. Fu Qiyuan, with his handsome face expressionless, was tinged with an intense ferocity,manding as though he could swallow mountains and rivers.


    “She’s mine. Don’t even think about making a move on her.”


    “It’s just a girlfriend, you’re not even married. When did she be yours? Besides, I don’t mind.”


    Fu Qiyuan turned to look at him, an explosively sharp aura suddenly bursting forth from him, absolutely terrifying!


    Had Su Ran been there, she would have realized that this was an aspect of Fu Qiyuan that she had never seen before, not even a tenth as intense as when he was most angry.


    “Xiao Yize, if you want to attend your own inauguration swollen and bruised, just try to anger me.”


    Fu Qiyuan’s expression was dangerously cold, chilling to the bone word by word.


    “Why are you so angry? I knew her before you did.”


    Fu Qiyuan gave him a cold nce, “No matter how early you knew her, you have no chance now!”


    Xiao Yize nced at Fu Qiyuan out of the corner of his eye, noting his indifferent andzy demeanor, with a hint of barely perceptible intrigue gleaming in his eyes, he raised an eyebrow with interest.


    “Opportunities are to be created, and although I don’t usually condone stealing someone else’s partner, when ites to someone you like, trying isn’t necessarily out of the question.”


    Saying this, he paused, his clear ck-and-white eyes tinged with a trace of cold mirth.
