Chapter 320 - An Open Meeting (1/2)

Shen Xinglan stopped and turned to look at Li Nian.

“I am sorry, Director Shen.” Zheng Jian said, in embarrassment, “I agreed to sell the piece of land, which we have discussed earlier, to Miss Li.” He did not dare to look into Shen Xinglan’s eyes.

“You promised to sell it to me.” Shen Xinglan looked at him calmly.

Zheng Jian gritted his teeth and said, “Yes, but it does not count if the contract has not been signed yet. The price that Miss Li is willing to pay, is higher than yours. There is nothing wrong if I do so.”

“I know.” Shen Xinglan was silent for a moment.

Zheng Jian got Li Nian’s hint and stood up. “You can talk to Miss Li. There is no difference.” After saying this, he walked away quickly.

“Now will you sit down and talk to me?” Li Nian gestured to him.

Shen Xinglan sat down without any expression on his face.

“Are you angry?” Li Nian blinked, looking at him with a charming expression. “I had no idea. It’s just a coincidence that my dad wants the land too. If you don’t mind, then how about cooperating with us?”

Shen Xinglan’s lips curled slightly. It was the first time that Li Nian saw a reaction from him. Although the smile did not quite reach his eyes, it made her even more obsessed with him.

“Miss Li, do you know why I want this piece of land?”

The voice of this man was so enchanting. Li Nian looked at him glowingly. She thought, “I must marry him.”

“Although I am not sure, we can talk about it, just like I said before.” She picked up the coffee spoon. “Director Shen, do you want to develop or sell it?”

Shen Xinglan looked at the light that occasionally flashed outside the cafe, then he looked back and lowered his head, “So, Miss Li, please put up a business plan.”

“Dad, have you seen this evening’s newspaper?” Lan Wenxuan walked into the office of Lan Hua, with a newspaper in his hand.

Lan Hua tapped his table. There was one on it.

“Shen Xinglan and Li Nian.”

“The Li family bought a piece of land in the Fifth Ring from the Zheng Group this morning.” Lan Wenxuan loosened his tie. “The surrounding area of the land is the business district we were going to develop next year. Shen Xinglan owns one piece of it.”

Lan Hua lit a cigar, “I guess he was going to buy the land from the Zheng Group, but the Li family must have bought it first.”

“But the land was bought by Li Nian. After buying it, for sure she is going to start an alliance with Shen Xinglan. What does this mean?” Lan Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and said, “It means she wants to work with Shen Xinglan.”

Lan Hua didn’t understand. “What for?”

The Lan family was responsible for the development of the business district. Even if the Li family gets one piece of land and cooperation with Shen Xinglan, they still could not compete with the Lan family…

“I don’t think Li Peng, a cunning fox, would do that. Maybe it is Li Nian’s decision.”

Lan Wenxuan closed his eyes and thought for a while. He did not know why Li Nian had made this decision. Then Lan Hua suddenly said something.

“Does she have a crush on Shen Xinglan?”

“No,” Lan Wenxuan was shocked. “Is she willing to be a stepmother?”

Lan Hua shook his head and doubted its possibility.

“Just ignore her.” Lan Hua said, “Your grandfather won’t be happy if he sees the name of Li in our business district. We need to go to see Shen Xinglan and ask for his cooperation.”

Lan Wenxuan spread his hands in despair and said, “We had better pray that he does not indulge beautiful women. Otherwise…”

“Bring A Miao.” Lan Hua said with a smile, “If he does, we have more to our advantage.”

Shen Xinglan was not surprised when he received the call from Lan Wenxuan. The reporters were as quick as usual, and this was how he could save his time.

“If we meet tomorrow, I may have to bring my daughter. Do you mind?”

Lan Wenxuan was only too glad.

“Sure, no problem. I will call my cousin along. She can play with your daughter.”

His cousin was A Miao naturally. Shen Xinglan hang up, trying to hide his delight.

“Dad?” Yaya looked up at him. “Why are you so happy? Did you steal some sweets to eat?”

Shen Xinglan picked his daughter up and kissed her. “Yaya, tomorrow you can see your mom.”

“Really?” Yaya’s eyes widened. “Can I bring my mom home?”

Shen Xinglan shook his head, “No. She is not your mom now. You should call her auntie.”

“When will dad turn Auntie A Miao into my mom?” Yaya did not know why, because she was still too young. The only thing she knew was that A Miao was her mom, and she wanted to be with mom and dad.

“Let’s work together!” Shen Xinglan kissed her face and said, “Turn Auntie A Miao into your mom quickly.”

Yaya kissed him back and said, “Okay!”

When Ouyang Jin came in, he saw them hugging and kissing each other.

“Hey! Give me a kiss too.” He approached Yaya.

Yaya pushed him away with a smile. “No, you have a beard!”

Ouyang Jin deliberately tickled her with his beard, and chased her around the room. When she got tired, Shen Xinglan gave her a bath and lulled her to sleep.

“What’s the matter?” When he went downstairs, he saw Ouyang Jin sitting there, drinking.

“Do you remember the picture taken by A Miao before?” He took out his phone.

Shen Xinglan remembered that A Miao found a strange table in the collection room of Lan Lixiao.
