Before the bodyguard could speak, a slow, old female voice sounded outside the Moon-shaped Gate-
“Then I have to ask Master Luo, what is your identity and relationship so that you can take her away?”
When these words came out, everyone inside and outside the banquet hall was stunned.
The bodyguards blocking the moon-shaped gate reacted and immediately stepped aside, revealing the figure of Mrs. Hang leaning on a cane.
She walked slowly to the front of the two of them and stopped.
Luo Zhan looked at her with a cold expression.
Hang Wei’s eyes were as calm as dead water: “You haven’t answered my question, Master Luo. I sent someone to send an invitation letter to the Luo family, but you came in disguise. After making such a fuss, you said you wanted to take the daughter of the Tang family away from the Tang family’s territory…”
Old Madam Hang smiled with a fake smile: “Even though the Tang family and the Luo family have been friends for ten years, isn’t it too reckless and too criticized for Young Master Luo to act like this?”
Luo Zhan said nothing, only looking at Hang Wei coldly. It was not until the banquet hall was quiet and the discussion died down, that he finally moved.
Luo Zhan took a half step forward, lowered his eyes and stared at the old lady without emotion: “I know what you want.”
“…”
After looking at Luo Zhan for two seconds, Mrs. Hang’s expression changed slightly.
She saw some unexpected emotions in the eyes of this young man – it was a kind of reckless madness after becoming extremely angry.
Madmen didn’t care how much blood they would shed after stabbing someone else, so they could never be predicted or calculated.
Luo Zhan in front of her was already close to the edge.
Luo Zhan: “You are right. My grandfather cares about the Luo family and values those false reputations the most. He will sacrifice a lot for the interests and reputation of the family and will seek benefits and avoid harm – but I am different. I am not a businessman. I never care about those things.”
Hang Wei’s eyes shook: “You…”
“Ran Ran.”
Luo Zhan suddenly spoke.
He didn’t turn around but just looked at Old Mrs. Hang gloomily and coldly.
Tang Ran stood behind Luo Zhan and looked up. She held Luo Zhan’s hand tightly, her voice was very soft, and there was still some trembling of fear, but she was firm: “I’m here.”
Luo Zhan’s eyes slowed down slightly.
He turned around, looked into the girl’s eyes and asked, “Are you willing to be with me, get engaged, get married, and grow old together?”
“……!”
Tang Ran was suddenly stunned.
These words also reached countless ears inside and outside the banquet hall.
Even though the guests had already guessed it, they were shocked to hear such words suddenly and started talking about it.
Amid the slight noise, Tang Ran came back to her senses and nodded slowly.
“Of course,” the girl’s eyes were slightly red and moist, “I want to be with Luo Luo forever and ever.”
“Okay.” Luo Zhan slowly leaned over and held the girl in his arms. He kissed her softly on the ear: “This time, I will never leave and never forget you again, Ran Ran.”
The deep meaning in this sentence made Tang Ran’s eyes tremble slightly.
Luo Zhan stepped back, lowered his hand and held Tang Ran’s tightly. He then turned his head to look at Mrs. Hang, who had a complicated expression.
“As you expected, I love Tang Ran, and I can do anything for her.” Luo Zhan smiled coldly, “But because of this, I can’t stand what the Tang family has done to her.”
“…”
Hang Wei’s expression changed completely.
Luo Zhan raised his voice, and it could be heard clearly in every corner of the banquet hall: “I will marry Tang Ran, but the Luo family and the Tang family will no longer have any contact – and the Luo family will completely withdraw its investment from all the Tang family’s industries.”
Hang Wei’s eyes trembled: “Are you crazy? Doing this will only cause huge losses to the Luo family without any benefits! How dare you say that? Have you got Luo Jingyuan’s consent? He is the Luo family–“
Luo Zhan lowered his head and smiled lazily, interrupting Hang Wei.
When he looked up again, his smile was cold and mocking: “Unfortunately, Grandpa is already doing it.”
“What?”
“So from today on, the Luo family and the Tang family will no longer have any connection – grace, severance, righteousness, and rupture.”
Mrs. Hang’s body swayed and she almost couldn’t stand. The people beside her hurriedly supported her, but she pushed them away fiercely.
“Luo, Zhan!” Old Lady Hang’s voice was hoarse, and with a hatred that she wanted to skin him alive, she glared at Luo Zhan, “You—you—”
Luo Zhan stepped forward calmly.
He put one hand in his trouser pocket and used the other hand to protect Tang Ran behind him.
The young man leaned forward slightly, smiling wildly, with a gloomy madness hidden deep in his eyes: “Old woman, you made two mistakes in this matter.”
Hang Wei gritted her teeth and trembled: “What?”
“The first mistake. You don’t know how badly I was injured and how long I stayed in the ICU during the kidnapping incident. Since then, even if my grandfather was furious, he never even slapped me.”
Hang Wei’s eyes flickered.
“It seems you have realized it. More than two months ago, I was subjected to family discipline and suffered from broken bones and slight internal bleeding. So do you think my grandfather would refuse what I decided to do after that?”
“You, your self-torture was not just for the Tang family and outsiders to see…” Hang Wei was both angry and frightened, and her lips trembled.
“Of course. If I don’t use the family discipline properly, wouldn’t it be in vain?”
“!”
“There was a second mistake…”
Luo Zhan slowly stood up, his smile fading away: “You underestimated Ran Ran’s influence on me. I don’t care what others can do for her, but for me, I can’t bear to see her suffer even the slightest bit of grievance.”
Luo Zhan’s voice was tense, his cheekbones moved slightly due to his clenched teeth, and the anger that had been suppressed all night surged in his dark eyes.
“So don’t even mention that I’m going to cut off the Luo family’s arm for her. Even if I have to sacrifice the entire Luo family and myself—” Luo Zhan’s voice suddenly sank, “You can try and see if I dare!”
Hang Wei’s face turned pale.
After Luo Zhan finished speaking, he held Tang Ran’s hand tightly and walked towards the door of the banquet hall.
A few seconds later, Hang Wei came back to her senses and almost jumped up in anger: “Stop him, stop them!”
“Yes.”
The bodyguard team immediately surrounded them and blocked Luo Zhan and Tang Ran’s way.
Old Mrs. Hang pushed away the support of the people around her, and walked over with trembling hands, tapping her cane heavily.
She stopped in front of Luo Zhan and Tang Ran who were surrounded, her expression distorted: “I’m telling you, Luo Zhan, if you want to go crazy and destroy the Tang family, you will pay the price.”
Without waiting for Luo Zhan to speak, she looked at Tang Ran fiercely: “Tang Ran is the daughter of my Tang family, and you are now the family’s sworn enemy – you want to marry her and take her away? You’re dreaming!”
Old Madam Hang turned around and said fiercely to the bodyguard team: “Keep your young lady here and kick this outsider out!”
Luo Zhan frowned, his eyes looked around vigilantly, while his right hand protected Tang Ran, and his left hand pressed on the miniature earphone in his ear, his thin lips moving slightly: “Come in now…”
Before he could finish his words, the main door of the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open with a bang.
Everyone was startled and turned around.
Luo Zhan also whispered in surprise: “Already in?”
“Ah?” Tan Yunchang sounded surprised in the headset. “No, the people we arranged are still waiting for your order.”
“?”
Luo Zhan was stunned for a moment. He took Tang Ran’s hand and turned to look at the main gate which was not far away.
A woman in a bright red trench coat, trousers and long boots walked in imposingly through the double doors blocked by two tall white bodyguards.
Her heels clicked on the silent banquet hall floor.
After taking two steps forward, the woman slowly stopped. Then she raised her slender hands and took off her equally eye-catching bright red leather gloves.
The snow-white fingers slowly lowered her sunglasses.
The woman then raised her red lips and opened her mouth.
“He can’t take Tang Ran away, so I’ll do it.”
Looking at the face that was 70% similar to Tang Ran, Old Mrs. Hang was suddenly shocked.
After a few seconds, her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost: “W-why are you back!”
The woman smiled and ignored the question.
She just looked deeply at Tang Ran and only looked back after a long time.
The voice carried the same arrogance, willfulness and reckless sharpness as the person herself.
“I want to take my own daughter away. Do I need your consent, mother?”
