Chapter 65 My Dear Xinglan! (2/2)
Seeing how unwell she looked, Ji Zeming looked at Shen Xinglan hesitantly. His heart sank when he saw that his son looked absolutely unconcerned. He opened his mouth and said,
”Then let's have A Yan come back!”
Ji Xue pretentiously made a cry of surprise. ”Then Elder Brother...”
”No need.” Bai Yongwei looked at Ji Zeming emotionally. ”Xinglan will be unhappy if A Yan starts working at the company.”
Ji Zeming glared hatefully at Shen Xinglan. ”They're both my sons! No one will dislike the other!”
”Zeming...” Bai Yongwei tried to advise him.
”Save it.” Ji Zeming lifted his hand. ”A Yan did a good job of managing the subsidiary company. It's time for him to return.” He turned his head to look at Shen Xinglan.
”Prepare a position in the company for your younger brother.” Ji Zeming added warningly, ”Don't let others think that you brothers aren't on good terms.”
Shen Xinglan sneered. ”If you're that ill at ease, you can arrange the position yourself. I won't oppose any position you give him. You can even give him my CEO position.”
”Insolent!” Ji Zeming nearly died of fury over this son of his. ”Don't say things like that in the future. The company belongs to you. It belongs to you whether I'm dead or alive!”
Ji Zeming didn't detect the resentment that flitted across Bai Yongwei's pupils yet Shen Xinglan saw it as clear as day. In particular, Ji Xue beside her glared at him without hiding the envy she felt.
”Is that all?” Shen Xinglan stood up. ”If there's nothing else, I'm leaving.”
Ji Zeming's anger would flare up even with another look at him. He waved his hand weakly.
Shen Xinglan turned around when he reached the door. ”A Miao is my fiancee. You might not like her but don't disturb her in the future, and especially don't try to take advantage of her.”
Bai Yongwei's heart squeezed after meeting Shen Xinglan's eyes.
”If I really retaliate...” His gaze swept Bai Yongwei's face. ”You know the consequences.”
”You're really an unfilial son!” Ji Zeming was trembling all over as he pointed at Shen Xinglan's back but said nothing even after a long time had passed.
Finally, he seemed to have recalled something and he lowered his head with a pained and guilty expression.
Over on the campus, A Miao had just entered the dormitory building when someone stopped her.
”A Miao, are you okay?” Bai Lu looked at her anxiously.
”What could happen to me?” A Miao retorted.
Bai Lu hemmed and hawed before saying, ”I saw the news. They're writing nonsense without knowing what's going on. I can be your witness. Did President Shen blame you?”
”Okay.” A Miao suddenly smiled. ”I'll ask him to come to the campus. You can help prove my innocence.”
Bai Lu stared blankly at her. When she recovered her senses, she happily nodded. ”Okay! It's just a simple matter. I'm very happy to help you.”
”Hehe.” A Miao took out her phone and called Shen Xinglan's number.
”Hello.” Over the phone, the man's voice was dull. She couldn't hear any emotion in his voice.
A Miao was grinning so hard that her cheeks were hurting. ”My dear Xinglan, are you still angry?”
”Hiss...”
Shen II, who sat in the car with Shen Xinglan, took a sharp intake of breath. Even Shen Xinglan was provoked.
”A Miao?” he asked uncertainly.
”Xinglan, I told you it's a misunderstanding, didn't I? Don't be angry anymore!” A Miao's voice was saccharine. She even winked at Bai Lu. ”I have a classmate who was with me yesterday. Come over and listen to what she has to say, won't you?”
Shen Xinglan didn't reply for a long time. A Miao's heart thumped wildly as she wondered if that man could tell that she was being deliberate.
”I'll be there right away.”
”Tut, tut, tut...”
”He hung up? He'll be here right away?”
A Miao was stunned. She thought that Shen Xinglan would hang up mercilessly. Then, she would be able to tell Bai Lu that he trusted her and didn't need to listen to the latter's nonsense.
But what was this situation now?
”Rest assured, A Miao! I'll definitely be your witness later!” Bai Lu thought A Miao was worrying after seeing the latter staring blankly without saying a word. She suppressed the smugness she felt and tried to comfort A Miao.
”I believe President Shen will definitely listen to our explanation.”
A Miao didn't even spare her a glance before running toward the university gate. She mustn't let Shen Xinglan come directly to the university. That would be too ostentatious.
”A Miao!” Bai Lu followed closely after her.
A Miao only stopped when she arrived at the junction where Shen I typically picked her up from.
”What are you doing?” Bai Lu asked, panting.
A Miao stood by the road and looked around. ”Waiting for him.”
Bai Lu forced a smile. She then stood in another side, not wanting to talk to her anymore. Thinking that this woman was trying to flee, she had run hard after the former. She was tired to death.
After about half an hour, Shen Xinglan's car slowly drew near.
”Miss.” Shen II pushed the car door open and got down. ”It's hot outside. Come in and talk!”
A Miao entered the car and met Shen Xinglan's eyes. She was surprised to find the man looking away from her. What was going on? They just met a short while ago but she could now use her gaze to force this lunatic to retreat?
”President Shen!”
Before she could think too deeply about this, Bai Lu who stood behind her also entered the car.
