CHAPTER 225: CHAPTER 225: FIRE ON THE PLAINS

Ran Xiangsi listened, initially a bit stunned, then realized something from the dinner table, and looked at Lou Xinyu as if she had an epiphany.

"Are you talking about how you embarrassed yourself earlier? Sigh... I’m just a poor person, but it seems like I overshadowed you just now? No wonder you’re so mad... Alright, calm down, you see, you already have dark circles under your eyes. You’ll age faster and get crow’s feet early!"

Pursing her lips, Ran Xiangsi fired back, unwilling to be outdone.

She never had a good attitude towards Lou Xinyu, and now, knowing that Lou Xinyu went out with Xing Chen...

Ha! Just looking at Lou Xinyu now makes her angry!

Lou Xinyu was taken aback for a long time by Ran Xiangsi’s sharp retort...

She couldn’t believe seeing Ran Xiangsi so sharp-tongued, and her heart was a wildfire, burning fiercely!

The anger rushed to her head, and she couldn’t hold it back, blurting out the events of last night.

"Hmph! Ran Xiangsi, you don’t know yet, do you? I already slept with Brother William. This proves that he has feelings for me too, not just you! Don’t be so smug!"

After all, Lou Xinyu only had this bit of leverage to confront Ran Xiangsi.

Besides last night, what other leverage did she have?

She had nothing... She was the one truly impoverished.

"..." Ran Xiangsi fell silent for a moment, almost petrified.

Did she hear it wrong?

Had... a relationship?

A sexual relationship?

Last night... Xing Chen clearly said he never touched another woman.

He wouldn’t lie to her, right?

Ran Xiangsi’s heart trembled for a moment, all her mockery disappeared, her breathing almost halted.

"When?" she thought, at least she should confirm the time.

Lou Xinyu wasn’t completely stupid, she obviously noticed Ran Xiangsi’s emotional change.

Hmph! She knew it, after what happened with Brother William last night, could Ran Xiangsi still be as arrogant as before?

Sure enough, Ran Xiangsi was starting to panic!

"Why should I tell you?" Lou Xinyu instantly became high-handed, "Your poor old dad, how could he compare to my grandpa? I’ve heard the Ran Family’s business has been declining year by year. Someone like you, thinking you can marry up to my Brother William? Dream on!"

Ran Xiangsi, "..."

She had no interest in comparing with Lou Xinyu now, she just wanted to know... Lou Xinyu sounded so certain, could she really have... with Xing Chen...

But Ran Xiangsi still felt, Xing Chen had no reason to lie to her.

Besides, Xing Chen was very serious when he said those things last night!

Could it be... Lou Xinyu was deliberately trying to sabotage her relationship with Xing Chen?

Thinking it over, Ran Xiangsi steadied herself, pretended to be disdainful, and said, "You can’t even say when, I think... you’re lying, aren’t you?"

A goad, who couldn’t use one?

When Ran Xiangsi said that, Lou Xinyu’s arrogance was abruptly cut in half, "You actually say it’s a lie? Brother William didn’t come home last night, did he?"

But... Lou Xinyu soon sneered again, feeling exceedingly pleased.

"He didn’t come home last night..." Ran Xiangsi mumbled, her eyes shifting, her mind in turmoil.

Xing Chen didn’t come home last night, didn’t they stay in a hotel?
