Chapter 336 - Leave Smartly after the Matter Is Settled (1/2)
“Does Elder Master Lan want to settle with me?” Shen Xinglan gave a Miao a reassuring look and smiled. “Although on the surface, it seems that the Lan family won’t get any benefits. But…”
Shen Xinglan looked at him meaningfully. “Elder Master Lan should be clear about it.”
Lan Lixiao stared at him and stood up after a while. “Come with me to the study.”
“Grandpa…” A Miao reached out her hands to help him up.
Lan Lixiao waved his hand. “You stay here. I have something to say to him.”
“Mom?” Yaya didn’t understand why father and mother’s grandfather would talk alone.
A Miao was also worried, but she couldn’t show it.
“That’s okay. They have private things to talk about. Mom will help you pack things first.”
A Miao went upstairs with Yaya in her arms.
“Will Mom come home with us?”
“… Mom can’t go back with Yaya.”
“When can you come back?”
“Hm… After a period of time. I will go back soon…”
Shen Xinglan and Lan Lixiao stayed in the study for a long time that day. A Miao didn’t know what they said. After that, A Miao asked Shen Xinglan, who just smiled and told her that Lan Lixiao warned him to treat her well.
Lan Lixiao told A Miao that if she really liked Shen Xinglan, he had no objection. So, she and Shen Xinglan went out together as sweethearts, and almost everyone knew about it.
This day, Shen Xinglan went to pick up A Miao. On the way home, the auntie in her house called him. “Sir, someone just broke into the house and took Yaya away.”
Hearing that she almost cried, Shen Xinglan asked calmly, “What does that person look like? Did Yaya cry?”
“It was a very handsome young man. Yaya was asleep. They covered my mouth and didn’t let me wake her.”
Shen Xinglan frowned. “I know. It’s all right. You go back first.”
“What’s the matter?” A Miao asked in a hurry. She heard the auntie crying.
Shen Xinglan’s face became solemn. “Yu Sihan came and took Yaya away.”
“…”
That was his style.
An hour later, they met Yaya in the hotel suite. The little gal was holding onto Yu Sihan to tell him about what she had done, who she knew, and that she missed him very much.
“You’ve come?” The handsome young man leaned on the chair of the imperial concubine, looking like a beautiful picture. After a year’s absence, he seemed to grow up a little bit. The male hormones began to emit. Many girls would be attracted by his appearance if he went out.
“Daddy! Mommy!” Yaya was sitting in the arms of the handsome young man. Her cute feet almost poked into Yu Sihan’s mouth.
Shen Xinglan picked her up and handed her to A Miao. “If you do this again, I won’t let you see Yaya.”
“Well?” Yu Sihan said with a casual smile, “I went to your house. You were not home. So, I had to take Yaya away.”
A Miao said angrily, “You could have waited for us to get back.”
“The new house your man bought for you is too small, so many of my subordinates have no place to sit.”
He was in the right and self-confident.
A Miao curled her lip. It was true that the 300-square-meter villa was not big compared with his large suite on a whole floor…
“Why did you come here?” A Miao looked at him suspiciously.
This guy was definitely not here for sightseeing…
“Your man asked me to come,” Yu Sihan said while picking Yaya up.
Yaya held him to rub against his neck.
Shen Xinglan’s face became more solemn. “Hand Yaya to A Miao. Let’s talk business.”
“I can talk to you with Yaya in my arms.” Yu Sihan put Yaya on his legs and wanted to lower his head to kiss her little face. But seeing a fierce look, he hesitated for a moment and still didn’t challenge Shen Xinglan’s bottom line.
“Yaya!” A Miao reached out her hands. “How about going to play with Mom?”
Yaya rushed to her. “OK!”
After the mother and daughter left, Shen Xinglan said coldly, “You are too slow.”
“I have my own business, too.” Yu Sihan picked his good-looking eyebrows. “I’ve been busy recently, or Yin Sihai couldn’t take this advantage.”
Shen Xinglan said, “It was accidental. This time, it wouldn’t be so smooth without him.”
“I know why he did it.” Yu Sihan threw over a few pages of paper. “His mother was raped by Li Peng when she was young. After two years of concealment, she escaped and married Yin Sihai’s father.”
At that time, Li Peng had some illegal business. He thought that Yin Sihai’s mother knew something, so he hired someone to kill her.
“So that’s why…” Shen Xinglan glanced at him. “Do you know that Lan Lixiao knew our plan from beginning to end?”
Yu Sihan blinked, then smiled. “It seems that the old man is a fount of wisdom.”
“The fact is that he used us, not that we used him.” The tone of Shen Xinglan was a little unhappy. “But it made A Miao feel guilty.”
“You didn’t tell her?”
“Elder Master Lan and I want to keep it from her forever.”
If A Miao knew that Lan Lixiao had not been cheated by her, she would feel better. However, if the top officials knew it, the thing that they sneaked into the dragon vein would be exposed.
“He wants to offend you openly and others will think that you turn against each other.” Yu Sihan nodded. “That’s good. It’s safer for you.”
So A Miao had to feel sad for a while…
“When are you going to the dragon vein?” A light flashed in Shen Xinglan’s eyes. “Don’t take all the treasure. I’ll take 40% and you take 60%.”
Yu Sihan looked at him indifferently. “No, I don’t want it. It’s all yours.”
