Zhang Ran's words caused a lot of commotion, especially Tom and several others, whose eyes suddenly became sharp.
Their family had long been aware that there was someone behind the incident, but because they were eager to maintain the family's strength, they had no time or energy to focus on it.
After they calmed down, the difficulty of their investigation also increased significantly.
The key was that Zhang Ran suddenly disappeared, leaving them a little at a loss.
After so many years, they have only found some things, but there is no conclusive evidence, so they can only guess.
Now listening to Zhang Ran's words, they instantly understood that it was the Rhodes family who was behind this.
In fact, if you think about it, the Rhodes family was the ones who benefited the most from the incident, so they were highly suspicious.
At that time, because their family was in a recession, their family members were not very capable, and they did not delegate power to people outside the family, many of their family's properties were cannibalized.
Qiao Silin's expression did not change when she heard this, and there was still a slight smile on her lips, "Brother Zhang, have you misunderstood something?"
"Misunderstanding? Maybe so." Zhang Ran said noncommittally.
Then he looked at Aidan. This guy had been plotted by Qiao SiLin from the very beginning and was regarded as a target by Qo SiLin.
Qiao Silin never thought that Zhang Ran was really so stupid that he couldn't notice anything. If that were the case, she wouldn't like Zhang Ran so much.
So from the beginning, Jocelyn was preparing for today. She deliberately showed her disgust towards Aidan, or expressed her previously hidden emotions.
Otherwise, how could someone with her personality reveal her emotions like this, especially to stimulate the emotions of those around her.
In addition, she would also give a little guidance from time to time, so Aidan, a fool, couldn't notice anything at all.
Her performance today was just to arouse Aidan's emotions.
Without Zhang Ran's words, she would have gone crazy on the spot and asked Aidan to leave.
At that time, Aidan must have become more and more resentful of Zhang Ran. Men are no less jealous than women, and at certain times, they are more likely to go to extremes.
What's more, with Qiao Silin's secret guidance, Aidan will definitely have the idea of killing Zhang Ran.
During the implementation, it was impossible for Aidan to find someone from the Rhodes family, because many people in the Rhodes family looked down on Aidan.
Then Aidan can only find people from their own family. Once their family is deceived by Aidan, no matter whether he succeeds or not, Zhang Ran will definitely confront his family.
These were all Qiao Silin's calculations, but they were all gone by now.
Qiao Silin really likes Zhang Ran, but she also really wants to kill Zhang Ran!
These two seemingly contradictory ideas are actually normal for Qiaocelyn.
Emotions never influence her choices!
She has never underestimated Zhang Ran, nor will she relax because Zhang Ran has disappeared for twenty-eight years.
Now Zhang Ran once again has the strength to compete with them.
Moreover, Zhang Ran's methods are also extraordinary. Just using Fengli Financial as a bait directly brought him closer to the wealthy people in Europe and the United States.
No matter what he does to the Rhodes family, these rich people will just sit back and watch.
They won't unite together to force Zhang Ran to give in and give up revenge like they did before.
This is also the reason why Qiao Silin wants to completely oppose the Aidan family and Zhang Ran, and then they will have a helping hand.
Neither of them showed any obvious emotions on the surface. Qiao Silin chuckled and said: "Brother Zhang, you really misunderstood. By the way, I heard that Brother Zhang is not really married yet. I don't know if I am still married." Is there any chance?"
Qiao Silin didn't care about her image at all and spoke very straightforwardly, but the more she said this, the more it irritated Aidan.
Being ignored over and over again, despite Zhang Ran's words, the pride of a man in his heart still made him extremely gloomy.
Zhang Ran didn't look at Aidan, but just smiled and said: "Whether I get married or not has nothing to do with you. Let's not say that I don't like you. Even if I do, I don't dare to marry you. People like you might When did you take away my Zhang family’s property?”
Huo Zhiyuan spat in a low voice, "Shameless."
Being rejected and ridiculed so bluntly by Zhang Ran, Qiao Silin's face still showed no trace of shame, as if what Zhang Ran said were just some simple greetings.
Zhang Ran looked at Jason, sighed and said: "Jason, I really didn't expect you to choose to do that. Is there anything I did to apologize to you back then?"
"No." Jason said after a moment of silence.
Qiao Silin interjected: "Brother Zhang, what do you mean by this? Why can't I understand you?"
Then she looked at Jason, her eyes a little cold.
Zhang Ran chuckled and said no more. The reason why he asked this just now was for people like Tom.
Jason also reacted, his face a little ugly, but he recovered quickly.
At this time, Aidan could hardly bear it anymore, but at this moment, several people walked in again.
The leader was an old man, about seventy or eighty years old. However, judging from his walking posture and mental state, the old man was in good health and did not look like an old man at all.
Seeing the person coming, Qiao Silin frowned suddenly, while Aidan was a little uneasy.
"Mr. Kelton." Zhang Ran said hello with a smile.
Kelton is the patriarch of the Kelton family and Aidan's father.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. The children at home are ignorant and made you laugh." Kelton's attitude was very low.
Aidan's face was red at the moment. He was fifty-three today, but he was called a child. This made him feel embarrassed and annoyed.
Zhang Ran also smiled and said: "It's okay, kid. It's normal to be willful, but you still need to discipline it. After all, children who always cause trouble at home also need education, otherwise there will be misunderstandings. This is also No one wants to see it.”
At this moment, Aidan really looked like a clown. He could bear being called a child by his father, but now Zhang Ran was treating him like a five- or six-year-old child, which he really couldn't stand.
"Zhang Ran, you..." Aidan pointed at Zhang Ran and was about to speak, but the next moment, a slap came over him.
"Father, you..." Aidan looked at his father in disbelief.
"Shut up." Kelton's eyes were so cold that it made Aidan's heart tremble.
"Sorry." When Kelton looked at Zhang Ran again, his eyes returned to their previous calmness, as if they were not him just now.
