章 498: Things Are Getting Exciting in Continent M

"Damn." The steward beside Second Uncle Xu said in a low voice, "What was Elder Xu thinking? He actually asked her to come over even though he has already given the Research Institute to an outsider. What's the use of a researcher like her to us?"

If only Qin Ran was a member of the Research Institute and could contribute to it…

The Xu family would treat her warmly and politely, and not with this attitude.

But now, Qin Ran was an outsider who had relations with the Cheng family. The Xu family was angered after finding out that she would be the one taking over the Research Institute.

Xu Yaoguang, wearing a dark windbreaker, stood aside. His expression was cold and he remained silent.

He lifted his head when Qin Ran appeared. Looking at her with his dark eyes, he hesitated before saying, "Congratulations."

Casually unbuttoning her jacket, she glanced at him and replied, "Thank you."

Her voice was emotionless.
