“Is he that tough?”

Jiang Beiran was a little surprised when he saw the system’s third option.

Firstly, this was the Shi family and not his home ground. Secondly, Shi Hong and Fang Xin obviously wanted to lick his boots…No, it was obvious that he had a crush on this beautiful person. If they were to argue, there was no way he would help her…

Although he was a little confused, Jiang Beiran still chose the third option. He looked straight at the woman who was trying to intimidate him.

“Are you being unreasonable?”

[Mission completed. Reward: Strength +1]

“Impudent!”

Gao Lanwen was obviously not expecting Jiang Beiran to ask such a question. She was a little angry.

“I’ve never offended or taken advantage of you. How can I talk about being presumptuous?”

“What a sharp-tongued brat! Do you know who you offended?”

After sizing Gao Lanwen up from head to toe, Jiang Beiran replied,””An aggressive female hoodlum who is planning to bully others?”

“I’ll kill you!”

Seeing that Gao Lanwen was beginning to condense her Xuan Qi, Shi Hongfang quickly stood between the two of them and said to Gao Lanwen,””Director Gao, please calm down. It’s his first time here and he doesn’t know the rules.”

Then, he turned to Jiang Beiran and said,” Beiran, no matter what, this is your senior. How can you talk back to him like this?” Hurry up and apologize.”

“Oh.”

Seeing how Shi Hongfang spoke so softly, Jiang Beiran suddenly realized that he was also someone he could not afford to offend.

Otherwise, this kind of dispute would definitely be a good opportunity for him to show off in front of the goddess. But now, it seemed that because he was invited by the ancestor as a guest, he did not know who to speak up for. In the end, he could only be a peacemaker.

Jiang Beiran was relieved to know that.

Without waiting for Jiang Beiran to speak again, Gao Lanwen shouted at Shi

Hongfang,””Move aside! I must teach this kid a lesson today.”

“Director Gao, I can usually do as you say, but he’s a guest personally invited by our ancestor. If you touch him, even I can’t speak for you.”

Gao Lanwen’s arrogance faded a lot when she heard the words ” invited by the ancestor “.

In the Shi family, the ancestor’s words were holy scriptures. No one could go against them. This kid was a guest invited by the ancestor. If he was hurt, it would be equivalent to slapping the ancestor’s face.

And this was a consequence she could not bear.

However, Gao Lanwen was used to being arrogant. She had never been treated like this before.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.

Seeing that Gao Lanwen’s face had turned red, Jiang Beiran didn’t intend to continue provoking her. He turned to Shi Hongfang and cupped his fists.”Senior, since the owner of this place doesn’t welcome me, let’s go to the next place.”

“Wait!” Gao Lanwen suddenly called out, then turned to Jiang Beiran and said,””When did I say that I didn’t welcome you?”

Initially, Jiang Beiran did not want to bother with this woman anymore. However, when he saw Shi Hongfang’s dilemma, he thought that there was no need to make things too difficult for him. After all, he still had to give Shi Hongfang face.

So he cupped his hands at Gao Lanwen and said, ‘”‘ This is a misunderstanding. Please forgive me.’

Seeing that Jiang Beiran had already given her a way out, Gao Lanwen went along and said,””lt’s fine. Perhaps my words just now were a little inappropriate and caused you to misunderstand. I hope you don’t take it to heart.”

‘Yes… He’s not stupid to the extreme.

At first, Jiang Beiran had thought that this woman would continue pestering him, but he had not expected her to know when to stop and not pursue the matter any further.

Seeing that the two of them were willing to take a step back, Shi Hongfang heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he could not help but mutter in his heart.

‘Where did this Jiang Beiran get his confidence from? There was no one who had no choice but to lower their heads under the eaves.’

Logically speaking, he was just a junior and was in someone else’s territory. It was fine to be bullied a little. After all, it was not a matter of principle. However, he was unusually tough. He was completely different from the “afraid” person he had mentioned before.

‘I really can’t figure out this kid…’

Taking a deep breath, Gao Lanwen re-examined Jiang Beiran. After thinking for a moment, she asked,””Since the clan saint sent you here, it means that you must have some achievements in the art of refining jade. Just now, you said that you didn’t want to learn here because the jade here didn’t catch your eye?”

“What a petty woman.”

Jiang Beiran had long known that this woman had come out to demand an explanation because he had decisively rejected the opportunity to study here and thought that he was looking down on the jades in their dojo.

Now that she had already stepped on him, she was still unwilling to let him go.

Should she say that she had a strong self-esteem? Or was he being unreasonable?

Of course, he was being unreasonable.

Jiang Beiran would usually ignore those who were unreasonable.

Seeing that Jiang Beiran did not say anything, Shi Hongfang knew that the two of them would never get along harmoniously. So, he pulled Jiang Beiran over and said to Gao Lanwen,””l’ll take him somewhere else to take a look. I won’t disturb Director Gao anymore.”

Watching Jiang Beiran follow Shi Hongfang down the stairs without turning back, Gao Lanwen felt like she was suffocating!

She was a dignified Grade Eight Jade Refinement Master. Even the Shi family, the number one aristocratic family in Tong Country, had to treat her politely as a guest. Everyone here was respectful to her..
