Chapter 307 - The Departure of Shen Xinglan (2/2)

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?”
