Chapter 23: I’ll Help You Win a Round Back

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

What did Fu Hansheng mean by that? Did he come all the way here just to scold me?

I didn’t think so.

I steadied myself and whispered, “I’m afraid you’re here for Jiang Yu’s sake, aren’t you? Let’s not make fun of each other. It’d be a shame for both of us.”

I tried to push him away, but his grip only tightened. He was shackling me in his arms.

Son of a bitch!

Fu Han’s voice was firm and calm. “Your ex-lover crashed into me. This isn’t over!”

I looked up angrily. “What does it have to do with me if he crashes into you? Please let go.”

Fu Han blew into my ear. “What? So you have the strength to challenge me now? Jiang Ran, you’ve been quite bold lately.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he dragged me to the deserted corridor.

Under the dim light, his eyes were like rippling autumn waters. They had lost their usual frostiness and gained a different soul-stirring charm.

But I wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it. “What do you want to do?”

Fu Han said coldly, “I’ll help you win a round back.”

Before I could figure out what he meant, Fu Hansheng bit my neck.

I was shocked and tried to push him away with my hands, but he only bit me harder.

“Fu Hansheng! You’re crazy!”

He bit me with just enough force to move his lips freely across my chest.

Beast!

He was ravaging me!

“If you want to be a lunatic, I have no obligation to cooperate with you… Hiss…”

His last bite was on my right earlobe, which made me squint in pain.

Finally, he looked at me with satisfaction, as if he was admiring his own creation.

It was too late to cover up because there were eye-piercing hickeys all around my collarbone. Meanwhile, I heard my mother call me again from the other end of the corridor.

My mind blanked out for a few moments.

Fu Hansheng returned to his callous and emotionless self again. He looked well-dressed. On the other hand, I seemed to have just woken up from a dream. I walked out with a burning face.

His scorching gaze had disappeared, leaving only iciness.

“Jiang Ran, it’s Little Yu’s engagement ceremony today. Aren’t you trying to steal the limelight by dressing like this? Also, how did you get the hickeys on your neck? Don’t you know any shame?”

It was my dad, Jiang Xu.

“Oh, I don’t even have the freedom to wear what I want anymore. Although Jiang Yu is getting engaged, I don’t have to play the supporting role for her, right?”

Even though my heart was still pounding wildly, I still could rebuke people.

“How could you even disrespect your father now?!” Grandma barged in unexpectedly, supported by Jiang Yu, who looked ever so obedient.

Grandma glared at me fiercely before she smiled at Fu Hansheng. “Hansheng, you’re here too! You’re a busy person, so you should just let Jiang Ran come over. It’ll save you the trouble of running back and forth.”

Her words implied I was worthless.

My mother frowned at that.

“Mother, Ran Ran is usually very busy in class. She has to prepare her lesson plans and set tests. She’s not as free as you think.”

Grandma continued ruthlessly. “I merely said a few sentences about Jiang Ran, and you’re already feeling uncomfortable? You’ve spoiled her. If you ask me, with her personality, she’d probably get beaten up in her mother-in-law’s house. If it weren’t for our Jiang Xu backing her up, she wouldn’t be able to live so comfortably!”

My mother didn’t dare defy her mother-in-law. I was different.

I simply said, “How did it become the Jiang family’s merit? The inheritance left behind by my maternal grandparents was all for my mother. That was premarital property. And until now, the entire villa is under my mother’s name. Other people showed my father some face and said that it was the Jiang Residence. Nevertheless, you probably know the truth very well.”

Grandma was so incensed that her face had darkened. My dad looked unpleasant, too. If this had happened in the Jiang family villa, he would probably cane me.

How could he be so courteous?

I scoffed in disdain.

“Ran Ran, stop talking.”

My mother glared at me, and Jiang Yu started showing her angelic side again. She tried to smooth things over. “Sis, Grandma didn’t mean what she said. Don’t take it to heart.”

Jiang Yu glanced at me cautiously.

Compared to her, I seemed bitchy and mean..
