Chu Ran was indeed a sore spot that Chu Jie couldn't mention. Once someone mentioned Chu Ran's name in front of her, Chu Jie would immediately fly into a rage.

"Your paranoia is getting worse. I suggest you go to the hospital for a checkup." Jiang Yu sighed helplessly. "Chu Ran and I have never met each other before. How could we possibly collude? But if you insist on thinking so, I won't explain."

"Why don't you explain? It's because I hit your sore spot! You're colluding with Chu Ran. The power behind Chu Ran isn't Chi Rui at all, but you!" Chu Jie thought that she was right and was still proud of herself. "If I tell my grandfather about this, you can see how my grandfather will teach you a lesson!"

"Ah...Then do as you please." Jiang Yu shrugged. "I've already said what I need to say. The final choice is still in Old Master Chu's hands. Whether he will acknowledge Chu Ran's identity or not, whether he will let Chu Ran acknowledge her ancestors and return to the clan, these are all Old Master Chu's choices. I can't interfere. Similarly, you can't either."

"Why can't I interfere? I'm the daughter of the Chu family. Even if Chu Ran really wants to return to the Chu family, she has to ask for my permission!" Chu Jie retorted loudly."Then do as you please. It's still early. I slept late last night and didn't wake up. I'll go back and rest first. If you're sleepy, you can continue to sleep on the sofa. If you're not sleepy, then you can find something to do to pass the time. If you're hungry, the kitchen is right next to you. You can cook something for yourself."

Jiang Yu said as she returned to her room.

Such treatment was a humiliation to Chu Jie. But she didn't want to return to the Chu family either. The only reason was that she still had a trace of anticipation. She thought that if she stayed here, she would be able to see Black Dragon one day.

Chu Jie was the only one left in the huge living room. She sat on the sofa with a pillow in her arms. Actually, she was already very sleepy, but because she was lying on the sofa, her entire body was uncomfortable, so she could not sleep at all.

She lay down and forced herself to sleep. However, not long after she lay down, she heard someone knocking on the door.

The bodyguard at the door said, "Madam, I heard your voice just now. Are you still in the living room? There's someone outside who calls himself Chu Ran. He wants to see you."

Chu Jie was a little sleepy at first, but when she heard the word "Chu Ran", she was no longer sleepy.

She quickly got up and walked to the door. She opened the door and questioned the bodyguard in front of her. What was the name of the person at the door? Chu Ran?"

The bodyguard didn't expect Chu Jie to be the one who opened the door. He was stunned for a moment. "Yes, he said his name is Chu Ran," the bodyguard answered subconsciously.magic

"I didn't expect him to come to me so quickly. Let him in," Chu Jie sneered and said to the bodyguard.

The bodyguard said, "You're not my wife. You can't order me around. I heard Madam's voice just now. She should have woken up, right? Then I'll have to trouble you to help call Madam down."

Chu Jie was so angry that her face was twisted, but she still reluctantly went upstairs and called Jiang Yu down.

After Jiang Yu dressed up, she sat on the sofa in the living room. Soon, the bodyguard brought Chu Ran in.

He did not come alone. There were two people following behind him. Jiang Yu had seen one of them before. It was the butler who had sent the potted plants over. As for the other person, Jiang Yu did not recognize him. It was a very unfamiliar face.

As soon as Chu Ran entered, she treated this place as her own home. She sat down on the sofa next to her and said, "You must be Jiang Yu?" I'm Chu Ran. Mr. Chi Rui asked me to come today."

He did not look very old, at least younger than Jiang Yu. However, Chu Ran's way of doing things was indeed like a child who had not grown up. Therefore, Jiang Yu didn't bother with him. Instead, she smiled and said, "Yes, I am Jiang Yu."

"You don't look very old. I really don't know why Mr. Chi Rui sent me here to discuss a collaboration with you." Chu Ran was very disdainful. "First of all, I'm the eldest son of the Chu family. Mr. Chi Rui should have told you about this, right?"

"I did." Jiang Yu smiled.
