After contracting to have a child, the icy female CEO became addicted.

"Huh?"

Jiang Ran was taken aback, but then she saw that Wen Bojun looked like he was not going to give in.

Seeing that his career was just starting to take off, Jiang Ran had received many private messages from male business partners who wanted to collaborate. He hadn't had time to screen them yet. Besides, he and Wen Ling were getting a divorce. If he really lived off her, he would lose all his power!

Jiang Ran understood perfectly well that relying on anyone else was not as good as relying on himself, and that money was only truly reliable when it was held securely in his own hands.

Despite Wen Bojun's orders and the immense pressure he faced, Jiang Ran shook his head. "Father-in-law, I don't really want to do that right now..."

Aside from his wife, Wen Bojun has never been rejected by anyone!

If it were anyone else, Wen Bojun would have thought twice, but it was his son-in-law whom he disliked the most!

How dare a greenhorn like him directly reject him like that?!

Isn't this a slap in the face to his face?!

Wen Bojun's face immediately darkened, and he spoke without any restraint: "Do you know what you're saying?"

"Letting you work for my Wen family's company is a favor to you. Do you think you can still freely set up a street stall outside if I give the word?"

Jiang Ran had long anticipated what would happen after his refusal. Despite Wen Bojun's overwhelming anger, Jiang Ran said calmly, "Father-in-law, I believe that no matter what, I should have my own job and my own life experiences. I don't want to be tied to Miss Wen Ling like this."

Wen Bojun's voice instantly rose: "Is this the kind of life experience you want—setting up a street stall?"

"There's nothing shameful about setting up a street stall; there's a market only when there's demand!"

Jiang Ran's voice remained calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant: "Although I don't know how the Wen family rose to prominence, I believe it must have started through human interaction. Every profession has its purpose, and I don't think it's shameful!"

Wen Bojun did not mean to mock the idea that setting up a street stall was shameful.

He just felt that the person who was supposed to be with his daughter was a poor match for someone who was working as a street vendor.

But what he didn't expect was that he would hear Jiang Ran's opinion.

The young man in front of him looked like he had just graduated from university, and Wen Bojun hadn't expected him to have such insight. In fact, after this conversation, Wen Bojun had already begun to admire him.

"Whether you come to the company or not is not up to you. I can give you some more time to consider and prepare. This period will not be too long. In any case, you will definitely be working in my Wen family's company in the future."

Wen Bojun did not insist further, but simply laid out his requirements, thus directly deciding on Jiang's future!

Hearing this, Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

There's no need to be so explicit now. Once he and Wen Ling are divorced, the truth will come out, and everything will change again.

Not urgent!

Wen Bojun glanced at the time, then looked at Jiang Ran and said, "Grandfather and the others are here. Go to the door and greet them."

"OK."

Jiang Ran responded repeatedly and quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

Wen Ling was still upstairs and hadn't come down yet. He stood alone at the main entrance, along with the servants and bodyguards who had come over from the surrounding area.

Jiang Ran watched as those people walked towards him. He originally wanted to move aside to make way, but he saw that they all bowed slightly to him.

Jiang Ran, who had never been treated like this before, felt extremely uncomfortable.

He would never come back with Wen Ling again, no matter what. This thing was really not something he could enjoy!

Jiang Ran silently recited the words in his mind, and soon saw a black Porsche driving towards the villa.

As the car stopped at the entrance, Jiang Ran quickly stepped forward.

As the bodyguard opened the car door, Wen Zhi stepped out first from the passenger seat, still wearing her signature fiery red trench coat, her long, slightly wavy, seaweed-brown hair cascading over her shoulders, heavy makeup, red lips, and curved eyebrows—exuding femininity to the fullest.

In contrast, Jiang Ran was dressed like a high school student.

Even when the back door opened and Wen Ling's grandparents got out of the car, they didn't recognize Jiang Ran for a moment.

The elderly lady, Liu Yeyun, with her gray hair but wearing a velvet and silk cheongsam, was helped down by the old man, Wen Chongshan.

Leaning on his cane, Wen Chongshan looked up at the villa in front of him and said, "Xiao Ling has built a nice villa here."

"Of course! I was the one who found the designer for this villa for my sister. Pretty good, right?"

Wen Zhi smiled and helped Liu Yeyun up, responding with a reply.

Then her gaze fell on Jiang Ran, and Wen Zhi raised her eyebrows at Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran understood and quickly stepped forward, about to greet the two elderly people.

The next second, Liu Yeyun's voice suddenly rang out, "Zhizhi, where did you find this little brother of yours? He's quite tall!"

Liu Yeyun looked Jiang Ran up and down; clearly, the two elderly people had not seen Jiang Ran's information.

Wen Zhi's lips twitched, and she suppressed a laugh as she explained, "Grandmother, this is my sister's husband. You've mistaken him for someone else!"

As she spoke, she winked at Jiang Ran.

At the same time, Jiang Ran quickly bowed to the two elderly people and said, "Grandfather and Grandmother, my name is Jiang Ran."

"..."

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Liu Yeyun looked at Jiang Ran in astonishment, her face filled with disbelief!

Wen Chongshan's expression was equally shocked. He adjusted his glasses, tilted his head slightly forward, and squinted at Jiang Ran.

The momentary silence between the two almost made Wen Zhi burst out laughing.

Jiang Ran was also feeling unwell. He felt like a fish on a chopping board, and just standing there made him extremely uncomfortable!

If anyone lets him come to the Wen family again, he'll fight them to the death!

This is hilarious!

The two elders remained silent for a few seconds before Liu Yeyun finally spoke up, "You young people these days are just playing around!"

"Oh dear, I'm getting old, I can't keep up with you guys anymore!"

Wen Chongshan also shouted, raised his cane, and the end of the cane hit the stone slab with a "thud".

Regardless of whether it was unintentional or not, Jiang Ran quickly stepped forward and bent down to support Wen Chongshan's arm.

The four of them went into the living room together.

Wen Bojun, who had been waiting in the living room, immediately stood up and asked with a smile, "Dad, Mom, was the journey smooth?"

"It's alright, with Zhizhi by my side the whole time, everything is fine."

Wen Chongshan smiled and responded.

Just then, Wen Ling and Zhou Manru came out from the corner at the other end of the living room.

Compared to Zhou Manru's smiling expression, Wen Ling remained expressionless.

However, Wen Ling was carrying a bag, and she walked straight toward Jiang Ran without saying a word.

After forcibly shoving the bag into Jiang Ran's hands, Wen Ling nodded to the two elderly people, saying, "Grandfather, Grandmother."

Seeing Wen Ling stuff something into Jiang Ran's hand, Grandmother Liu Yeyun's eyes flickered, her gaze lingering on the two of them...
