Give Me Your Hands and Marry Me - Chapter 307 - The Departure of Shen Xinglan

Chapter 307 The Departure of Shen Xinglan
“Grandpa Li, what you said is a bit inappropriate. It was probably that my sister was scared because she has never met anyone who will give a check as a gift during their first meeting,” Lan Wenxuan said, “but… it’s not only her, I was shocked too!”

Before Li Peng became angry, he continued saying, “Would Grandpa Li add another zero after the number? Anyway, it’s a check…”

“You…” Li Rong was so angry and was about to stand up, but was pushed down by Li Peng.

The old man looked at A Miao unkindly, but he became somewhat surprised after a few seconds. He wanted to frighten the illegitimate girl whom he did not know, but she looked at him with a smile, all the time.

“OK!” Li Peng wrote out another check to A Miao, with a forced smile. “Take it. It’s not easy to live in this circle. A little more money is also good for self-defense.”

Lan Wenxuan’s expression changed, and she quietly scolded the old man for being so wordy.

“Thank you!” A Miao took it with a smile, then sat down beside Lan Lixiao and waved her check. “Great, I’ll buy you a gift. I have money now!”

“Hahh!” Lan Lixiao laughed jauntily at Li Peng and said, “Thank you, Old Mr. Li.”

Li Peng’s face was solemn and he said nothing, while Li Rong looked at A Miao fiercely, but dared not say anything.

At midnight, all the guests left. A Miao stood in the doorway to send the guests away, holding a stack of business cards in her hand, then rubbed her neck and came back to the sitting room.

“Is Grandpa sleeping?”

Uncle Fu came downstairs. “He fell asleep. Miss Elder, you should go and rest too!”

Everyone had left, except Lan Wenxuan.

“Do you want to say something?” A Miao saw that he did not move, when she went upstairs.

Lan Wenxuan stood up and said, “Don’t you want to ask me something?”

“About the Li family?” A Miao raised her eyebrows and said, “Would you like to tell me?”

Lan Wenxuan’s expression showed that it was troublesome. “Li Rong loved uncle when she was young, but my uncle didn’t love her. Li Peng told my grandpa to make a connection through marriage, but was refused.

“Uncle…” A Miao muttered. “Is this the father of the original owner?”

Lan Wenxuan did not hear what she said, and then said, “The Lan family never makes any connections through marriage. We make our own decisions about our marriages.”

“Who did Li Rong marry later?” A Miao felt something was wrong.

“Does she look like a married woman…” Lan Wenxuan asked scornfully, “And she always thought that my uncle never loved anyone, but then you showed up.”

A Miao gave a bitter laugh. “So, she dislikes me now.”

“No, she hates you!” Lan Wenxuan yawned and turned around to leave. “Take care of yourself. It doesn’t matter if you were tricked. Don’t ruin the reputation of the Lan family”

After A Miao returned to her room, she received Ouyang Jin’s message on her mobile phone. It was also something about Li’s family and the Lan family’s resentment. Finally, he knew that she had been working hard today and asked her to have an early rest.

In City S.

“Boss, there’s progress in Jingcheng City.”

When Shen Xinglan entered the office, Shen I reported happily.

“Don’t let anyone notice you, especially Jiang Quanyu.” Shen Xinglan sat down and said, “Watch out for him and Xiao Mei.”

Jiang Quanyu had visited Shen Xinglan several times since A Miao’s “death” in a car accident, and each time he started several fights. Every time, it was Xiao Mei who had to come and take him away.

Shen I said, “Those two people should not have known that Miss was in Jingcheng City.”

Shen Xinglan thought and said, “Look for a reporter to send a report.”

Since the president’s wife of Shen Corp died unexpectedly, the reports about Shen Xinglan in City S had not stopped. It stated that that he was always at the grave site, in tears, and seldom dealt with the company’s affairs.

“Did you read today’s newspaper?” Xiao Mei pushed the door.

Jiang Quanyu did not raise his head. “What are the gossips?”

“A reporter photographed Shen Xinglan appearing in the hospital, and said he committed suicide due to missing his wife…”

“Pfft!” Jiang Quanyu sneered and looked up at her. “Would Shen Xinglan commit suicide? Are you kidding?”

Xiao Mei looked at him carefully. “Didn’t you sleep last night?”

“No.” Jiang Quanyu returned his attention to the document.

“You can’t hide your dark circles,” Xiao Mei said angrily, “why are you so anxious about the death of another person’s wife?”

Jiang Quanyu suddenly clenched his fists and said, “Stop talking!”

“I can stop talking, but you have to face reality.” Xiao Mei looked at him coldly. “That woman is dead. Who are you showing this to?”

“Stop talking…” Jiang Quanyu closed his eyes painfully. “Get out.”

Xiao Mei snorted. “Don’t say I did not remind you. There is news that Shen Xinglan is negotiating deals with some industries. I think he may leave City S.”

“Leave?” Jiang Quanyu was stunned. “Where is he going?”

“I don’t know,” Xiao Mei said angrily, “people said he wanted to leave this sad place.”

Jiang Quanyu suddenly thought of something. “Recently, there seems to be some movement from the Yu group.”

“He’s beyond our control.” Xiao Mei reminded him. “It’s good for us if Yu Sihan leaves.”

“I see.” Jiang Hua picked up his pen and said, “You should pay attention to Yu’s side. As for Shen Xinglan… I’ll watch out for him.”

In Jingcheng City.

“Good morning, Grandpa!” A Miao walked into the restaurant.

Lan Lixiao waved to her. “Did you sleep well?”

“Very well!” A Miao sat down beside Lan Lixiao and thanked Uncle Fu for pulling out a chair.

This was the third day after the banquet. A Miao received her first post last night, inviting her to attend an auction of a charity painting exhibition.

“Well, good!” Lan Lixiao looked at her. She was in good spirits and had rosy cheeks.

A Miao smiled and said, “My aunt said she would go too and asked me not to be nervous.”

“Hm, your uncle’s paintings are also on display. I’m relieved that they will be attending.” After she slurped down a small bowl of porridge, Lan Lixiao continued to ask.

“Do you know anything about paintings?”

A Miao pouted her mouth in frustration. “In the past, I only studied ancient calligraphy and painting, but not modern painting.”

“Didn’t your aunt teach you?” Lan Lixiao’s tone became serious.

“She did teach me!” A Miao said exaggeratedly, “Fortunately, my aunt gave me some tips, or I will certainly lose face if I attend it today.”

Lan Lixiao relaxed. “It’s good to have a little knowledge. Those girls may not be as good as you! Besides, we are not professionals. We don’t need to understand much.”

“Ouyang Jin said he was free today and wanted to go with me.” A Miao looked at the old man carefully. “Is that okay?”

Lan Lixiao was stunned for a moment and laughed. “Of course, I am relieved that he will be there!”

“I’m a little embarrassed.” A Miao scratched her head. “But he said that he was free, and Wenxuan was busy these two days.”

“That’s good!” BLan Lixiao waved his hand. “But you should come back early in the evening. You know that Ouyang Jin is always good at dealing with girls. I hope that you will not be bullied by him.”

A Miao opened her eyes wide and cried out. “Grandpa, what are you talking about? He and I are not even friends.”

“I know. I’m just reminding you! Keep eating!”

In the afternoon, when Ouyang Jin came to pick her up, he deliberately went to look for Lan Lixiao, who gave him a warning secretly, and then allowed the two people to leave.

“In fact, Old Man Lan treats you very well!” After getting into the car, Ouyang Jin said while passing a phone to her, “Shen is waiting for you!”

A Miao wanted to say something. Her eyes flashed, and she said nothing. She called Shen Xinglan on the video phone.

“A Miao!” The man’s face soon appeared on the phone.

“Are you… on the plane?” A Miao immediately recognized their private plane.

Shen Xinglan nodded. “I’m taking Yaya on a trip.”

“Trip?” A Miao was stunned. “Why? Where are you going?”

“We are going to an islet to celebrate the new year, and I’ll see where we can go, along the way.” Shen Xinglan reached out his hand and touched the screen. “I lost my beloved wife and am so sad, so I left City S, a sad place, with my daughter.”

A Miao was even more confused. “What’s the matter?” “Did someone find something wrong?”

“Jiang Quanyu.” Shen Xinglan became solemn. “That guy keeps checking on me. If I don’t find an excuse to leave, he will never stop.”

“…Well.” “It’s hard for him.”

A Miao was worried. “Did he really find something?”

“Let the other people worry about this. Do you want to look at Yaya?” Shen Xinglan didn’t want to talk about other people in this rare video phone call.

“What is she doing?” A Miao’s eyes lit up immediately.

Shen Xinglan stood up and opened a door. “I coaxed her to sleep.”

“Why not let her look at me?” A Miao looked at Yaya lying there sleeping, and felt sad.

Shen Xinglan stared at her. “Not yet. You have to be patient, dear! I’ll let Yaya see you soon.”

A Miao did not recognize the meaning of Shen Xinglan’s words. She covered her mouth and sobbed quietly. “Yaya… Does she still talk about me?”

“When she goes to bed every night, she will ask when you will be back.” Shen Xinglan touched the screen to help her wipe her tears. “Don’t cry…”

“I’m all right!” A Miao wiped her face carelessly. “I just can’t control my feelings.”

The two people were talking all the way. Ouyang Jin slowed down and they arrived at the meeting late.

“Be careful. You can ask Ouyang’s help for anything. Don’t let anyone bully you.” Before hanging up, Shen Xinglan kept blowing her kisses.

A Miao kept nodding to show that she understood. Finally, it was Ouyang Jin who hung up.

“You won’t hang up until it gets dark!” He opened the door, got off, and went to the other side to help A Miao.

After getting out of the car, A Miao realized that she had forgotten to fix her make-up. So, she went to the bathroom first, after entering the showroom.

“Shuangshuang, I just saw the boss.”

After touching up her makeup and going into the toilet, A Miao heard someone coming in.

“I told you that he would come!” It was a girl’s voice and… it was familiar.

“Then we showed him that you called Third Miss Lan… What did you call her?”

“Aunt!” Nie Shuangshuang proudly said, “We should behave naturally later.”

“No problem!”

A Miao had already guessed who the two persons outside were, and she felt speechless that she was predestined to deal with the girl in the Lan family…

She overheard their conversation. She decided to keep quiet until they went out. Unfortunately, the cell phone in her bag suddenly rang, and the sound spread throughout the whole bathroom.

“Who is inside?”
