Chapter 73 - Shen III (2/2)
”Forget it.” A low voice was heard.
Shen Xinglan scowled. ”What did you say?”
”I said forget it. If anything happens to Ji Xue, Bai Yongwei and your father will not stop.” A Miao looked up at him. ”I'll pay attention to her in the future and just don't give her a chance to hurt me.”
Was this a concern for him? Shen Xinglan's heart trembled. He was afraid of A Miao would rather face the danger in order to protect him.
”Don't worry. You have me.”
A Miao glanced at him. She did not understand why the man opposite her suddenly had so much fighting spirit...
It had to be said that Shen Xinglan had just thought too much. A Miao's worry was after provoking the young one, the old would come out for revenge. Bai Yongwei was like an old witch in fairy tales; she could feed her a poisoned apple at any minute.
”What about Shen I?” A Miao suddenly remembered that Shen II had picked her up yesterday.
Shen Xinglan tapped his finger. ”Shen I has other work, Shen II will follow you later.”
After he finished his words, Shen II came in with a man she had never seen before.
”This is Shen III.” Shen Xinglan raised a finger.
A Miao looked confused. Could this guy's bodyguard really make it to Shen IX or Shen X?
”Young... young lady... hi...” Shen III stammered out a greeting.
He was more than 180 meters tall with a very mature-looking face that was flushed, and his eyes were fluttering around, afraid to look at A Miao.
”Hello!” A Miao waved her hand.
Shen III replied, ”I... I...”
”Boss, young lady, I will go down with Shen III first.”
After which, A Miao watched Shen III's hands and feet follow behind Shen II and leave.
”Is he all right?” A Miao drew the corners of her mouth out and found that Shen Xinglan was also rubbing the space between his eyebrows.
”You will get used to it later, Shen III is shy.”
A Miao had nothing to say.
At the Ji family—
”Xiaoxue, didn't you trouble A Miao at school?”
Ji Xue was painting her nails when she heard Bai Yongwei's words. Her hand made a mistake.
”I can't even find her. How can I make any trouble?” Wiping off the extra nail polish, Ji Xue spoke without looking up.
Bai Yongwei sighed and sat down opposite her. ”Look at what happened to Bai Lu.”
”Didn't she go abroad with her boyfriend?” Ji Xue blew on her nails.
”You didn't watch the video on the Internet!” Bai Yongwei took a sip of tea. ”If the Bai family didn't think it was honorable, how could they allow her to go with a man who has no fame or honor?”
Ji Xue smiled with schadenfreude. ”Haha, usually having such a lofty appearance, turned out to be a slut.” She sat down beside Bai Yongwei. ”Mom, you don't know... Many boys in our school said they were cheated by her appearance.”
”Leave this alone.” Bai Yongwei poked her on the forehead. ”How do you think she came to this end?”
Ji Xue shot her a glare. ”Didn't her boyfriend do it?”
”Silly girl. Because she is always looking for trouble with that A Miao.”
”Do you mean...” Ji Xue could not believe it, ”It's brother...”
Bai Yongwei gave her a look. ”You just blurt it out now. It's all right. On the surface, we are still a family.”
”Did he really do it?” Ji Xue grabbed Bai Yongwei by the arm.
”Why are you so nervous?” Bai Yongwei patted her on the face. ”As long as you don't do too much to that A Miao, she won't dare to do anything to you.”
Ji Xue covered up the hatred in her eyes and raised her head to smile. ”Rest assured, mom! I know.”
The next day, Ji Xue wanted to ask Xia Wan out. Who knew that Xia Wan would reject her directly?
”We will not contact each other in the future.” Leaving off with this sentence, Xia Wan hung up the phone.
Ji Xue paused before giving a mocking smile. ”Hmph, if I had known she was so useless, I wouldn't have worked with her. I should have done it myself.”
On Sunday, when Shen II sent A Miao to school, A Miao asked him,
”Shen II, is that Shen III... particularly introverted?”
”No, he's just a little shy.” Shen II looked at the steering wheel with a serious face.
A Miao waited for a long time and saw that he did not intend to speak again. She could not help missing Shen I. Although that guy talked a lot, he would at least take the initiative to chat.
Shen II could not talk at all...
”I mean, does he always talk to everyone like that?” A Miao had to take the initiative to ask.
Shen II replied, ”No, just to women.”
”It's because of women? He is like that?” A Miao felt it incredulous that there could be such a shy man.
”He blushes and stammers whenever he approaches a woman.” Although Shen II could not chat, he was very cooperative and voluntarily confessed.
A Miao tutted her lips and ended the topic.
Shen Xinglan's words about protecting A Miao were still ringing in the ear. But nobody thought that in such a short period of time, A Miao would disappear a second time.
On Friday, Shen II waited for a long time and did not see her come out of the school. He did not feel good and ran into the school to find her. As a result, he did not find her after a round of inquiries. He did not dare to delay and called Shen Xinglan immediately.
