Chapter 688: 354 Astonishing the World (Twelve More)_2

Jiang Jinchen understood her gaze.

“No...” He staggered back a step, his handsome face deathly pale.

Bai Ziyan quickly supported him, worriedly asking, “Jinchen, are you alright?”

Why was his reaction so strong to Ming Jing being a part of the Ran family?

Although the Rans were not good people, it wasn’t something Ming Jing could decide. With the protection of the Ran family, Ming Jing would no longer be laughed at or bullied in the future.

Just when everyone was immersed in the news and couldn’t come to their senses, Ran Tengxiao smiled slightly, walked in front of Ming Jing, and bowed slightly.

“Little Aunt, I’ve finally found you. Let’s go home with me.”

What did he call her? Little Aunt?

Everyone thought they had misheard.

Ran Tengxiao’s little aunt, according to seniority, wouldn’t she be the sister of Ran Yang and Ran Qing? Could she be the illegitimate daughter of Ran Bocai and Ran Boxue who had been lost outside?

This was too absurd.

Jiang Jinchen clenched Bai Ziyan’s arm tightly with his fingers. Bai Ziyan was in pain, but seeing him in so much pain, he couldn’t bear to shake him off.

He muttered, “I didn’t expect that Ming Jing would be Ran Tengxiao’s aunt. Her status is so high now that she can walk sideways in Jiangzhou.”

Li Ling narrowed his eyes. He had heard of Ran Tengxiao’s name but had the first encounter in person under this circumstance.

This girl named Ming Jing could give people surprises indeed.

The Ran family? It was a wolf’s den. With her kind-heartedness and righteousness, it would be hard to predict her future once she enters.

Shen Zhou murmured, “No entry into the tiger’s den, no gain of its young. So this is your plan.”

Zhao Qin rushed over, “Cousin, she’s my grandfather’s daughter? That’s impossible. Are you mistaken?”

Ran Tengxiao straightened up, “She’s not my grandfather’s daughter, she’s my granduncle’s daughter. She belongs to the most noble bloodline in our Ran family, and you should call her Little Aunt as well.”

Who was Ran Tengxiao’s granduncle?

Everyone looked at each other, somewhat confused about the relationship network of the Ran family.

At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded, “It’s Ran Bowen! She’s actually Ran Bowen’s daughter! My God...”

Ran Bowen?

This name that had disappeared for thirteen years was finally recalled by the public once again.

A long time ago, in Jiangzhou, this was a name that made people tremble with fear. It was no exaggeration to say that it could stop children from crying and people from talking.

He was a hero who founded the Qinglong Association barehanded and made a name for himself in the world.

There were many legends about him, and many people in the audience had witnessed Ran Bowen’s demeanor when he was alive. Even now, he had been dead for more than a decade, but he still cast a deep shadow over people.

He shook his head in panic, “There must be a mistake. You must be mistaken. How could Ming Jing be Ran Bowen’s daughter? Absolutely impossible...”

The last four words were almost shouted out.

Why, why was she Ran Bowen’s daughter? Qu Feitai desperately told himself that it was just a joke.

Ran Tengxiao snorted and looked contemptuous, “Mr. Qu, please show some respect. Ming Jing is indeed the young lady of the Ran family, and it is not your place to interfere.”

Ming Jing sighed softly. No one could understand his fear better than her.

That gunshot years ago pierced through Yu Jiang’s shoulder and hit Ran Bowen.

The six-year-old Qu Feitai killed Ran Bowen.

If she was Ran Bowen’s daughter, there would be a deep blood feud between the two of them.

Ming Jing pressed her fingers against Qu Feitai’s neck, and he turned his head, looking at Ming Jing incredulously.

Ming Jing saw the pain, despair, and disbelief in the young man’s pitch-black eyes.

Then he slowly fell down.

Ming Jing caught him and shouted, “Xiao Bai!”

Bai Ziyan immediately rushed over, “Ming Jing, has this kid gone mad?”

“Take him away and find Yun Mo. Leave Jingzhou early tomorrow morning.”

Bai Ziyan took over Qu Feitai and looked at Ming Jing worriedly, “You by yourself...”

Ming Jing smiled, “I’ll be fine. You go ahead.”

Bai Ziyan and Song Yinzhang took Qu Feitai and left.

Bai Weining glared at Ming Jing resentfully, stomped her foot, turned around, and quickly caught up with Bai Ziyan.

As everyone watched the scene unfold, they didn’t know how to react.

Not only Qu Feitai, but everyone else also found it hard to accept.

How could Ming Jing, who was so kind and great, be the daughter of a terrible villain?

As it had been since ancient times, blood ties ran deep. No matter how many good deeds she had done, all people would know was that her father was a notorious villain.

Did her evil bloodline mean all her past good deeds were just a disguise?

It was terrifying to think about.

Ming Jing flicked her skirt and looked up at Ran Tengxiao.

Their eyes met.

Both understood each other’s intentions.

“Mr. Ran, are you sure I’m your little aunt?”

Ran Tengxiao smiled faintly, his eyes unfathomable, “Or does my little aunt look down on the Ran family and not want to return? That’s your home, after all.”
