Chapter 313 - The Midnight Horror (1/2)
Yaya held Xiaoxiao and was sleeping soundly, with her hips up. When A Miao saw her in the video, Xiaoxiao also raised his paw, as if to say hello to her.
“Yaya…” A Miao covered her mouth and whimpered. “I’m Mom…”
Shen Xinglan reached out and touched the screen. “She remembers you. I show her your picture every night, and tell her this is her mother.”
“Hm.” A Miao wiped her tears away. “She seems to be taller and fatter.”
“She eats a lot, like a pig.” Shen Xinglan smiled and said with dissatisfaction, “You became thinner. Don’t get too tired.”
A Miao pursed her mouth, and only in front of Shen Xinglan did she have such a look. “I am not tired. I could not put on weight easily before!”
After one hour of talking about trivial matters, A Miao remembered the question. “Did you go back to City S… No, it’s not like our home.”
The bed that Yaya slept in the video, was not the bed at home.
“Not yet. It’s too cold now. We’ll go back when spring comes!” Shen Xinglan smiled at her. “We just arrived at an island in the South yesterday.”
A Miao nodded. “Well, it’s cold in Jingcheng City. I wear my down jacket when I go out.”
“Hm, wear more clothes to keep warm. Don’t get sick.”
Then there was another hour of mutual care, including hearing more, “Get more rest”, and even about taking baths. When she heard that, He Shishi felt a bit nauseated.
“She’s asleep.” He Shishi did not know how long she had been sleeping on the sofa, and she found that A Miao was asleep, with the cell phone on.
And Shen Xinglan was lying in bed, looking at A Miao through the video.
“Hang up.” The man gestured with his arm. “Help her call the Lan family. She’ll sleep with you tonight.”
He Shishi curled her lip. “Why didn’t you think that you will need my help, when you said I was rough…”
“I know,” She said unhappily, “by the way, where do you live?”
Shen Xinglan helped cover Yaya with the quilt. “I bought a villa in the southern suburbs.” After that, he continued to say in a disgusting tone, “Don’t tell A Miao. And you can’t stay there for too long.”
“I see.” He Shishi hung up. “Hmph, I planned to leave tomorrow, but I’ll stay a few more days now!”
A Miao woke up in the morning, and jumped out of bed abruptly.
“Oh, no!” She hurriedly looked for her cell phone, picked it up and found that there were no missed calls.
He Shishi came in, wearing a face pack. “I called the Lan family last night and said that we played too late. You drank some wine, and fell asleep here with me.”
“Who answered the phone?”
“A man called Fu Bo, is he the housekeeper?”
A Miao sighed with relief. “Well, I have go back now. I don’t know if Elder Master Lan is angry.”
“He shouldn’t be. I told them who I am. He should know about me.” He Shishi handed her the coat. “Would you like to have breakfast?”
“No.” A Miao washed her face. “I didn’t go home last night! I’d better go back soon…”
He Shishi shrugged her shoulders. “It’s normal to have Ouyang Jin send you.”
Ouyang Jin sent A Miao back to the Lan house, and happened to see Lan Lixiao who was back after his morning exercise.
A Miao didn’t know if the old man was angry. She called out to him nervously. “Grandpa…”
Lan Lixiao nodded and glanced at Ouyang Jin. “Did Ouyang stay with you last night?”
“Yes, Elder Master!” Ouyang Jin got out of the car and clutched his hair. “You don’t know that He Shishi is a madwoman. She pulled A Miao to drink. So A Miao was drunk after a glass of wine.”
Lan Lixiao became more relaxed and patted Ouyang Jin’s shoulder. “It seems that you are the most pitiful person!”
“Yes!” Ouyang Jin cried exaggerately “It’s hard to send two drunk women back to the hotel. A Miao was okay. She was sleeping all the time. But the other one… Well, I don’t want to talk about her.”
Lan Lixiao burst out laughing. “Come on, let’s have breakfast. I want to thank you for looking after A Miao!”
“Grandpa!” A Miao shyly tugged at his sleeve. “I won’t drink anymore.”
“Well, you should be careful since you know you’re not good at drinking.” Lan Lixiao pulled her into the house. “Later, if your aunt says something, don’t take it to heart. She is doing this because she means well!”
A Miao helped him up the steps. “Hm, I understand!”
However, A Miao did not see Lan Qin until she finished dinner in the evening, and saw her coming back from outside.
“Follow me.” Lan Qin looked a little tired.
A Miao looked at Lan Lixiao, and Elder Master blinked at her.
It meant that she could go with ease. It was okay…
It was still in the beautiful little study that was ornately decorated. Lan Qin asked her as soon as she entered, “Do you like Ouyang Jin?”
A Miao quickly shook her head. “I don’t like him…”
“Does he like you?”
“He… also probably doesn’t like me!” After that, she felt that was inappropriate and added. “After all, I heard he is a playboy.”
Lan Qin squinted at her.” So you dare go out drinking with him? Did you forget what I taught you?”
“It’s not just him…” A Miao explained in an affected manner. “There was He Shishi.”
Lan Qin frowned. “You and He Shishi have just known each other for a day, right? You actually dare to allow her to get you drunk. Aren’t you afraid of her bad intentions? What if she was bought over by Li Rong?”
“… No… No way.” A Miao lowered her head and whispered.
“Anything can happen in this world.” Lan Qin’s voice suddenly became impatient. “You made such a big mistake. If you had met with an accident last night, the Lan family will be laughed at by others.”
A Miao tried hard to squeeze out tears, and finally raised her head, her nose a little red. “Sorry… Sorry, I promise I will not do this again.”
Lan Qin rubbed at the space between her eyebrows and said, “I have to punish you. You’d better not go out during this period of time, until spring begins.”
“Okay, I know!”
