On the way back, Shen Xinglan remained silent, and A Miao took his hand.

"Are you okay?"

Shen Xinglan held her back. "How could irrelevant people bother me?" Seeing A Miao hesitate, he picked up the corner of his mouth and said, "If you want to know, I'll tell you."

"Yes." A Miao nodded. She wanted to know why Shen Xinglan and his father were so indifferent toward each other.

Shen Xinglan took her into his arms. "It began when I was very young."

Ji Zeming and Shen Ying, Shen Xinglan's mother, were childhood friends. After giving birth to Shen Xinglan, Shen Ying's body hadn't been very good.

"Bai Yongwei was my mother's best friend. When my mother got sick, she often came to my house." Shen Xinglan smiled sarcastically. "One day, I saw her and Ji Zeming cuddling in the study."

Ji Zeming drank wine at that time. It had probably been a very long time since he had touched a woman. He had an affair with Bai Yongwei on his desk.

"How old were you then?" A Miao tenderly asked.

"I was six. I didn't know what they were doing at first, but I knew that a man can't hold a woman other than his wife."

"Then they were together? Behind your mother's back?" A Miao instantly felt that Ji Zeming looked disgusting.

"No." Shen Xinglan shook his head. "Ji Zeming regretted it. He felt sorry for my mother, then he avoided Bai Yongwei and wouldn't let her come to our house again."

But what no one knew was that Bai Yongwei had long been jealous of Shen Ying, a woman whose status was not as good as hers. Why did she want to grab her man?

"She bought the doctor and changed my mother's medicine." Shen Xinglan's voice became cold. "Before long, my mother got severely depressed and had to be hospitalized."

Unfortunately, he was still young at that time and did not understand anything. During the Spring Festival that year, his mother's condition stabilized and she was allowed to go home. In the end, an accident occurred along the way.

"I was in the car." Shen Xinglan's eyes were caught up in his memories. "She protected me and told me about the bronze mirror jade pendant before she died. She told me to find my grandfather."

A Miao buried her head in Shen Xinglan's chest. She had watched her mother die and understood the fear that her relatives would leave her, but she could do nothing about it.

"The year after my mother died, Ji Zeming married Bai Yongwei." Shen Xinglan laughed scornfully. "Then, she deliberately threw me to the traffickers."

"Did you find out all these things later?"

A Miao felt strange. "Didn't your father... Ji Zeming have any suspicions?"

"Do you remember the feeling of seeing Bai Yongwei for the first time?" Shen Xinglan said, "She has always been very successful in disguise. I'm afraid that even the Bai family is not clear about these things."

Noble and kind, typical of rich and powerful ladies. This was A Miao's first impression of Bai Yongwei. Compared with Yao Lili, she looked to be more than one level higher.


"Then you still let her son go to your company?" A Miao suddenly raised her voice, "Aren't you afraid she will try to take the business?"

Shen Xinglan pinched her face. "Take it? Let him try. I'm afraid he won't be able to take it."

"What do you mean?" A Miao rubbed her face.

"You will find out in the future." Shen Xinglan bent his mouth. "If I tell you now, you'll be paranoid."

After he had finished talking with A Miao, Shen Xinglan felt much better, so A Miao took him to eat some delicious food. They went down an alley behind the university town to a beef-soup restaurant owned by an old man and woman.

"Can you really be OK with that?" At the door, A Miao looked at him suspiciously.

The small restaurant was very simple, with only a few tables and chairs and no air conditioner, but it was very clean.

"I don't only wear suits." Shen Xinglan laughed as he took her inside.

The old man enthusiastically served them barley tea and the old woman cooked beef in the back. Although the weather was hot, the two of them did not feel it at all. Shen Xinglan gave A Miao all the beef in the bowl.

"You eat!" A Miao was a little shy, and the old man at the side looked at them, smiling the whole time.

Shen Xinglan touched her head and said, "Eat."

"Come on, come on!" The old woman came out with a plate of beef. "This is an extra delivery. You come to visit us on such a hot day. Thank you!"

A Miao took it and thanked her. The old man helped the old woman down and nagged her. "You must tell me to carry it. You have bad legs, don't run back and forth."

"You are foolish to worry about so few steps..."

When Shen Xinglan and A Miao left, they secretly put hundreds of dollars under the plate. They did not know why, but both of them were full of feelings. Looking at each other, they revealed knowing smiles.

A Miao was about to speak when her voice was interrupted.

"Brother Xinglan?"

Shen Xinglan, who was about to get in the car, looked up and saw Shanshan standing by the side of the road. Lil Xi was getting out of the car.

"If you don't like it, get in the car first, and I'll say hello." Shen Xinglan pinched A Miao's hand.

Shanshan was his responsibility. If A Miao did not always accept it, he would not force her. In his opinion, nothing was more important than keeping A Miao happy.

"Then what have I become!" A Miao whispered, then bent the corners of her mouth toward the running Shanshan.

Shanshan seemed very happy. "Sister A Miao!"

"Shen!" Lil Xi followed. "Just in time, come home with us later."

A Miao nodded to Shanshan, while Shen Xinglan gave Lil Xi a quick look. "What are you doing here?"

"Do you think we are here to make trouble for her?" Lil Xi complained discontentedly. "Did she tell you about it? Don't flatter yourself."

Shen Xinglan's face sank, but A Miao ignored it because when Lil Xi spoke she had always been automatically shielded.

"Lil Xi!" Shanshan saw that the atmosphere began to get awkward again, so she quickly grabbed him. "You should stop speaking. Sister A Miao wouldn't do that. She's not that kind of person."

"How do you know?" Lil Xi said unconvinced, "You've only known her for a few days."

Shanshan could not deal with him. She was eager to explain to A Miao. "I saw on the Internet that there is a very delicious dessert shop here, so I had Lil Xi bring me."

"You're talking about the Red Beans of Third Street!" A Miao smiled. "It's really delicious, but you'd better hurry up. There are a lot of people there at meal time."

Lil Xi snorted coldly. "Are you trying to get us out of here? Shanshan, let's call Shen I to go with us!"

"Brother Xinglan, are you coming?" Shanshan had looked forward to seeing Shen Xinglan.

Shen Xinglan shook his head without hesitation. "We have already eaten, go ahead."

"Oh..." Shanshan's eyes flashed with disappointment, but she immediately looked at A Miao excitedly. "Sister A Miao! Can I come to see you tomorrow?"

A Miao frowned and was about to say that she was busy when she heard Shanshan add, "I... I... I have some women's things... want... I want..."

Seeing that her face had turned red and she looked embarrassed, A Miao had to nod. "Okay, should we go to my place or find somewhere else?"

"I'll call you tomorrow!" Hearing her promise, Shanshan immediately laughed.

Even Lil Xi, who had been eyeing her up the entire time, did not make any more trouble and said goodbye to them, then left to eat.

"If you don't like it, then don't go." As soon as he got in the car, Shen Xinglan took A Miao's hand and said, "You don't need to do that."

A Miao smiled tenderly and scolded him. "Am I not doing this for you?"

"It is most important that you are happy." Shen Xinglan looked at her warmly and A Miao was somewhat embarrassed as she said, "Alas, I can't always hide from her."

After all, Shanshan had done nothing wrong.

"To put it mildly, I stole her brother Xinglan!" A Miao made fun of him. "Don't worry, if we really can't get along then, then we'll be able to get by on face."

Shen Xinglan gave her a hug. "In short, don't let yourself be wronged. And Lil Xi, when Ding V returns, I will have Ding V take him away."

Just after lunch the next afternoon, Shanshan called.

"Where to?" Hearing the address, A Miao hesitated and nodded. "OK, I'll see you in an hour."

Shen Xinglan was having a video conference with someone. He turned off the computer and asked, "Where are you going? I'll take you."

"Shen I will take me, you are busy!" A Miao went into the bedroom to change clothes and pushed him out as he was entering.

When she came out, she found that Shen Xinglan had also changed his clothes.

"I am not at ease." He pulled her toward the elevator.

A Miao gave him a sweet smile in return.

The place where Shanshan and A Miao were going was a very expensive club and beauty salon, which was frequented by the notable young ladies in City S. When the two of them arrived, Shanshan was waiting at the door.

"Brother Xinglan! Sister A Miao!" She waved her hand.

Shen Xinglan walked over with his arm around A Miao. "Do whatever you want to do, A Miao has a card with her."

"So do I!" Shanshan patted her bag.

Lil Xi poked his head out of the car and said, "I got a top-notch credit card for Shanshan."

Looking at his face showing off in such an ostentatious manner, A Miao could basically guess how that credit came about.

"I have to go to the bank for business and will pick you up for dinner later." After finishing saying that, Shen Xinglan looked at Shanshan, who nodded directly and asked, "Can Lil Xi and I come, too?"

Shen Xinglan gave Lil Xi a sidelong glance. "Shut up and you can."

"I will look after him!" Shanshan quickly said.

After watching the two women enter, Shen Xinglan left. Once Shanshan entered, she swiped the card that Lil Xi had given her. And seeing the smile of the reception lady, A Miao knew that she had completely cheated the computer.

"So you want to get rid of the hair all over your body…" A Miao was a little embarrassed. It was the first time she has heard of this.

Shanshan nodded sheepishly. "Hasn't Sister A Miao also done it?"

"Haha."

A Miao smiled. She did not say that she was born hairless in those places, even down below...

Every time Shen Xinglan looked at her there, his expression was like that of a madman. She checked online afterward and found that men really liked it to be completely hairless.

"Young lady, after finishing, you can go to the sauna over there and apply our special essential oil to prevent skin allergies."

A Miao and Shanshan went in and decided to go to the steam room.

As Shen Xinglan came out of the bank, he was about to make a phone call to A Miao when his cell phone rang.

"Hello, Lil Xi.

"Shut up. If you call me and insult A Miao, I'll hang up.

"The hospital? What do you mean Shanshan is in the hospital?"
