Boom!
Xu Ran kicked the door open and entered with Xiao Mei.
"Cousin Xiao Yu... Xiao Yan..." Xiao Mei's eyes widened at the scene before her.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to do something to Xiao Yu, Xu Ran and Xiao Mei arrived in the nick of time.
"Xiao Yan, what do you think you're doing?"
Xiao Mei yelled angrily, utterly disgusted as she glared at Xiao Yan.
Seeing all this, how could Xiao Mei not understand what had happened? She wasn't stupid!
But she never expected Xiao Yan to stoop to such a level, to do such a thing to Cousin Xiao Yu... Was Xiao Yan a beast?
"Xiao Yan, I never thought you would be such a person." At that moment, Xun Er also rushed over, her eyes filled with disappointment. She finally made up her mind.
She had been blind to think that Xiao Yan was of good character. She hadn't imagined that Xiao Yan's heart could be so dark, capable of doing such disgraceful deeds.
Xun Er was naturally there because Ling Ying had tipped her off.
Now Ling Ying was working for Xu Ran, devotedly serving him.
Such an opportunity that could lead Miss to completely give up on Xiao Yan, even disgust him, was something Ling Ying wouldn't miss.
When Xun Er heard what Ling Ying said, her first reaction was disbelief. Although she had decided to have no further ties with Xiao Yan, she had known him for many years. Xiao Yan had never done anything to her in all these years. How could he possibly do such a thing to Xiao Yu?
To use such despicable means to try to take a girl's purity?
Was this the Xiao Yan she knew?
"Xu Ran, Xiao Mei, Xun Er..." Xiao Yan's body trembled, feeling somewhat desperate.
He had sneaked here secretly, so why was he suddenly caught?
Moreover, under these circumstances, he hadn't yet managed to do anything to Xiao Yu. If Xu Ran and the others had arrived a little later, even if he had been caught, it wouldn't have been a total loss for him.
But now...
Xiao Yan slowly turned around, his body suddenly felt very heavy.
Originally, he thought that even if he did something to Xiao Yu, would a woman like her dare to speak out about such matters? That way, he could unknowingly obtain Xiao Yu. After those events, Xiao Yu's heart would also belong to him, and he would lead a happy and prosperous life.
He had never anticipated such an outcome.
He was caught red-handed before he had a chance to do anything.
With Xiao Mei and Xun Er here, if they went to complain, he would have no way to refute it.
And since nothing had happened yet, Xiao Yu had no reservations and could directly report the incident to the family.
If he was known for doing such things, how would the family punish him? Would his father be disappointed? From now on, he might truly become a pariah in the clan, hounded and scorned by everyone! No! Having committed such an act, he might even be expelled from the family!
Thinking this, Xiao Yan's face instantly turned pale.
He hadn't thought things through before, and it never crossed his mind that he would be exposed.
"Xiao Yan, what do you have to say for yourself now? I must have been blind before," Xun Er stood at the door, her eyes downcast, filled with sadness. Is this really the Brother Xiao Yan she once admired?
She felt utterly ridiculous for her past self.
She couldn't believe she had once harbored feelings for such a person—it was truly laughable!
"Xun Er, I...I...I..."
Xiao Yan's speech trembled; he had not anticipated things would take such a turn.
"Xu Ran, was it you? Was it you who brought Xun Er and the others here? How did you find out?" Xiao Yan's eyes turned red. How could Xu Ran be like a ghost, knowing his every move?
He felt as if he was always being watched by Xu Ran.
He had been sure to make his move on Xiao Yu only after confirming that Xu Ran wasn't at the Xiao Family. Yet, Xu Ran still returned so promptly. Wasn't Xu Ran often away all night, spending time outside with Xiao Mei and the others without anyone knowing what they were doing? Why did Xu Ran come back so damn timely this time?
And just when he was about to succeed, it was enough to drive one insane!
"Xiao Yan, you still have the face to mention Brother Xu Ran? If it weren't for Brother Xu Ran, who knows what unspeakable things might have happened to Cousin Xiao Yu by now. You're utterly shameless. Committing such a despicable act and still having the nerve to be angry at Brother Xu Ran?" Xiao Mei stood in front of Xu Ran, speaking out displeasedly.
She held Xu Ran's hand, feeling somewhat smug when she looked at Xun Er.
Although Xun Er and Xu Ran shared a close relationship, it seemed nothing had happened between them. She was the one who had spent the most time by Xu Ran's side now.
Xun Er glanced at Xiao Mei, feeling jealous, but clearly, now was not the time.
"Xiao Yan, to think that you could stoop to doing such a thing..." Xu Ran said mockingly as he looked at Xiao Yan.
"Isn't this your fault? It's all because of you! Why else would I end up so miserable?" Xiao Yan's eyes reddened with rage. Looking at the smile on Xu Ran's face, he felt as if his lungs were about to explode.
If it weren't for Xu Ran, he could still restore his talent by now. He could have had Xun Er, Yan Ran, and everything else. He wouldn't have been driven to do something like this to Xiao Yu.
It was all Xu Ran's fault that he ended up like this.
"Really? When did I ever force you to do any of this?"
"No matter what, it was wrong of you to do such a thing to Xiao Yu. You're lucky nothing happened, otherwise, you wouldn't even have the chance to speak now," Xu Ran said disdainfully as he sent Xiao Yan flying with a slap.
"Aaah!"
"Xu Ran, I'll fight you to the death!"
"What are you? What was your purpose in coming to the Xiao Family?"
Xiao Yan climbed up from the ground, his eyes red with hatred as he charged towards Xu Ran. He had seen through Xu Ran; Xu Ran was certainly no good, harboring sinister intentions towards the Xiao Family!
He had wanted to bear his humiliation in silence, but he could not take it anymore! Xu Ran had pushed him too far!
"Xiao Yan, do you realize how vast the gap between us is? You can't even beat one of my fingers," Xu Ran waved his hand, and Xiao Yan was struck by a powerful force, crashing heavily into a large tree outside, his blood flowing freely.
Seeing Xu Ran's strength, Xiao Yan felt desperate.
The disparity in power between him and Xu Ran was too great.
What's more, he was about to be utterly ruined!
"Is this how it ends for me, Xiao Yan? Why? Why?" Tears rolled down Xiao Yan's cheeks. Ever since Xu Ran had entered the Xiao Family, he had felt too suffocated. Why? Why did he have to live so miserably? Why was he such a failure? Why couldn't he even get close to Xu Ran? He had truly tried his best, but the gap between him and Xu Ran had become despairingly wide.
