“Mr. Ran, please excuse me, I have to take this call.” Gu Qingshan stepped aside with his cellphone.

Ran Tengxiao poured himself a cup of tea, sipping it lightly while looking out at the rain.

The teahouse had a nice view, quiet and elegant, with an old-world charm. It was easy to relax here.

Despite the swirling tea mist and gentle tea fragrance, a faint strange aroma that would typically soothe the mind was somehow making him feel irritable.

The porcelain cup was somewhat heated, but his fingertips did not feel any warmth, only endless coldness.

Her body was as cold as ice, colder than the winter chill that had just started to set in.

Lowering his gaze, Ran Tengxiao looked at his fingertips, lost in thought.

From outside the door, he heard Gu Qingshan unable to suppress his furious roar, “What did you just say? Li Yaru, you and your cousin’s family are going to kill me. Not only did you oppress others under my name, but you also offended everyone. Now, you had an accident and fled, and you expect me to clean up your mess? Do you want to drive me into the ground? You’d better pray no one was severely injured. Tell her to turn herself in as soon as possible. The law might be lenient then. Otherwise, prepare to spend the latter half of her life delivering meals to her in prison.”

Ran Tengxiao narrowed his eyes. Had the accident at the intersection involved Gu Qingshan?

Gu Qingshan returned, looking worse than before, “I’m sorry, Mr. Ran, what were we talking about? Let’s continue.”

Ran Tengxiao took a sip of his tea and gently asked, “Mr. Gu, did you run into some trouble?”

Gu Qingshan’s eyes flickered slightly as he merely replied, “Nothing… it’s nothing. Let’s enjoy our tea.”

“I heard your cousin is a famous painter, especially skilled in landscape painting and is regarded as a Master of Traditional Chinese Art. My aunt’s birthday is coming up and I wanted to gift her one of his masterpieces. Would it be possible for you to ask him, Mr. Gu? Naturally, we won’t let the Master’s hard work go unpaid.”

Gu Qingshan’s face stiffened. Whenever Li Yang’s family was mentioned, bitter resentment filled his stomach. All the current troubles events were caused by Li Yaru, using his reputation to promote Li Yang, a master only in title, who had been accumulating wealth through unscrupulous means. They took all the benefits, while he, on the other hand, was left to bear the brunt of the negative consequences.”

“What is it? Is Mr. Gu unwilling to do me this favor?”

“No, it’s not that. Of course, we have to give Mr. Ran the face he deserves. It’s just that Li Yang’s hands are injured and he can’t paint at the moment, so I’m afraid we might let you down, Mr. Ran.”

“What a pity.” Ran Tengxiao sighed.

Wiping sweat from his forehead, Gu Qingshan asked, “About the matter we discussed earlier, would Mr. Ran still agree?”

“You mean the shareholder of the horse racing club? I can’t make that decision alone.”

Gu Qingshan frowned. After this horse race, he realized that the horse club was extremely promising, even better than he had originally imagined.

If Ran Tengxiao disagreed, he had plenty of ways to pressure him.

“What does Mr. Ran mean by that?”

From what he knew, the horse club was a property of the Ran family. Ran Tengxiao was the person in charge of this generation. Would his words be disregarded?

Could it be Ran Qing? This woman was not a concern either.

In his eyes, the Rans were no different from the common folk. Could a snake ever compare to a dragon?

And he intended to be the soaring dragon.

Although he feared the Rans, he also looked down on them. When Ran Bowen was alive, things were fine. But after Ran Bowen’s death, each generation was worse than the last. This Ran Tengxiao was too young to hold such a huge responsibility.

Ran Tengxiao could clearly see the disdain in Gu Qingshan’s eyes. He lifted his teacup to hide the cold smirk on his lips, took a leisurely sip, and then spoke slowly, “The other major shareholder of the horse club is Ms. Ming Jing.”

Gu Qingshan’s heart skipped a beat and he looked up, “Ming Jing?”

When did these two connect together? Why didn’t he hear a single word about it?

That Ming Jing really had extensive connections. Most of Jiangzhou’s affluent and influential families had some relations with her. He thought the Rans would be the last untouched territory, but it seems they couldn’t escape either.

“Yes, thanks to Ms. Ming Jing, the success of this year’s horse race was possible. She is now the second-largest shareholder of the horse club. My words don’t count.”

“This…” Gu Qingshan was secretly annoyed.

Ming Jing had a good relationship with Madam Shen, was an honored guest in Madam Jiang’s house, and she was Shen Zhou’s sister. With such a complicated network of relations, it’s a pity his kin offended her under his name.

If he could win over her… Gu Qingshan pondered for a moment and quietly made up his mind.
