Chapter 92 A Call From the Xia Family
Ling Lang had been secretly observing Shen Xinglan all the time. It was said that notable young ladies had voted for men with whom they most wanted to have a one-night stand. And Shen Xinglan was ranked at the top.
In terms of appearance, this man was indeed the best one she had ever seen, and his face was like a finely painted picture. Moreover, the most important thing was that he was still very rich…
“Mr. Shen, you misunderstand. We just want to ask if you have any clues. After all, your fiancée… She is this young lady, who was injured by the kidnappers.”
A Miao sat on the other side of the sickbed and picked up an apple to cut, and then she said, “Yeah, I have two stitches on my head. Have you found the kidnappers? Did they really take the real jade pendant away?”
“We haven’t found the kidnappers yet.” Ling Lang turned to gaze at Shen Xinglan and asked, “Mr. Shen, please think it over. What there anything strange in the auction that day?”
Shen Xinglan picked at his eyebrow and replied, “My fiancee got injured at that time, so we were the first to leave, finding nothing.”
“Well!” Ling Lang stood up and stared at Shen Xinglan for a few seconds and said, “So, I won’t bother you. If Mr. Shen remembers something in the future, I hope you can contact me.”
She put her business card on the table and left with a nod.
“Has she gone?” A Miao quietly asked.
Shen II closed the door and reported, “Yes, she has gone.”
“I was scared to death…” A Miao said, slightly patting her chest.
Shen Xinglan touched her back and said, “Afraid of what? She can’t have known that we did it.”
“So, why did she come to us and ask questions?” A Miao’s heart was still thumping hard. After all, she wasn’t the same sly fox as Shen Xinglan.
“Rest assured, no matter how suspicious they are of us, there is no evidence.” Shen Xinglan tenderly pinched her face and said, “You just have to remember – if she looks for you next time, just reply ‘I don’t know’ to whatever she asks.”
A Miao curled her lip and said, “Why do you want so many jade pendants?”
“I don’t know.” Shen Xinglan replied, particularly roughly, “The jade pendant with the Xia family originally belonged to my mother. She wants me to get it back. So, even if I think if there is something else, I will get it back first.”
“Is it possible to summon the fairy dragon with seven jade pendants?” She asked with a great imagination.
Shen Xinglan looked at her like she was a lunatic, and he said, “Please watch less TV. Your IQ isn’t high after all.”
“So, you have a high IQ, but why don’t you take the spoon to eat by yourself?” A Miao put the bowl on the table and stopped serving him!
Shen Xinglan was speechless.
At this time, Ling Lang was still in the elevator. When the elevator door opened, a man walked in and she stopped just as she was about to go out,
The man very gently held the elevator door and probed her with his gaze.
“Sorry.” Ling Lang nodded and walked out of the elevator.
When she got out of the hospital door, she immediately took out her cellphone.
“Xiao Liu, do we have a photo of the famous doctor internationally called ‘Hand of God’?”
“Yes? Send it to me right away.” She added.
After a few minutes, her cellphone beeped. She opened the photo and her eyes changed instantly.
“Sure enough. It’s him!”
In the ward, Le Yi also knew that the woman who had just passed him was a policeman.
“I am going to check it out.” He checked Shen Xinglan’s wounds and left with only these words.
Because of the policewoman, A Miao was a little uneasy. At first, Shen Xinglan sneered at her. But later on, his heart softened for her after finding out that she was really scared.
“There will be no next time. I will no longer worry you.”
A Miao blankly looked at him. She was apparently just distracted.
“…” The tip of Shen Xinglan’s ears got red again. He thought that A Miao was getting cuter and cuter now, especially now when her eyes didn’t wear makeup. When she looked at himself with clear and misty eyes, he couldn’t wait to pinch her face.
After a few days, the policewoman called Ling Lang never came again, and A Miao was relieved. However, when Shen I came to pick her up at noon this day, his expression was a little bit strange.
“Just say what you want to say.”
When Shen I organized his words, he first asked her, “My young lady, what will you do if others know of your real appearance without makeup?”
“There… shouldn’t be anything!” A Miao thought about it for a while and then said. She had already prepared herself, but she still put on makeup out of the hospital because Shen Xinglan was hospitalized.
Because Shen Xinglan said so, “Later on, we will find a suitable occasion to make public your real appearance.”
This was also the arrangement after their discussion.
“What do you mean?” A Miao realized that something was wrong.
Shen I did not dare to look at her, but only whispered, “This Christmas, you and Boss were photographed when you were by the sea.”
“What?” A Miao did not react at once.
“It was night, and the photo is not clear, so…”
After arriving at the hospital, A Miao finally understood.
There was an angler on the seaside before, and they were accidentally discovered by him. At that time, he only thought it was romantic, so he took a video. Later on, he might have seen Shen Xinglan from the magazine and knew the extraordinary identity of the man in the video.
So the man sold the video to the newspaper office…
“Now everyone thinks that there is another woman with Boss, and the internet is going crazy.” Shen I said.
A Miao entered into the ward with a bad look, and saw Shen Xinglan throw a magazine into the trash with a black face.
“You are back!” Le Yi greeted A Miao with a special calm.
A Miao nodded and went into the inner room to get changed. When she came out, Le Yi just continued to say,
“There are two ways now. One is to tell the truth, but then your previous life will be picked out and your friends may be implicated.”
Friends here naturally referred to Song Baohua and Zhou Xiao. A Miao immediately shook her head and refused, “No, you can’t bring them in.”
“Then you can only use the second one.” Le Yi glanced at Shen Xinglan and continued to say, “Just tell them that you had plastic surgery. But in this way, you will have greater pressure.”
A Miao thought and asked, “If we use the second one, will it also affect Shen Xinglan?”
Think about it, for such a high-class man to have a fiancee who had plastic surgery. This was just making him lose face!
“The ways you said will not work.” Shen Xinglan, who hadn’t spoken yet, said and put A Miao, who was sitting closer, into his arms at the same time.
Le Yi rubbed his eyebrows and said, “What do you want to do?”
“I’m fine, as long as it doesn’t affect you.” A Miao looked at Shen Xinglan sweetly.
Shen Xinglan pinched her face and added, “My silly girl, how can I wrong you?”
“Be careful. Don’t forget that there is someone next to you!” Le Yi glared at these two persons and said, “Hurry up and say what you want to do.”
“That’s easy.” Shen Xinglan clearly said, “Just say that I knew A Miao for a long time, and then she always felt that our status had a disparity, so she did not agree with my pursuit.”
Next, Shen Xinglan explained his cliche method.
In order to test the true heart of her golden boyfriend, the rich girl deliberately made herself look ugly and also decided that she would agree to be his fiancée only when this man could successfully approach her without exposing their relationship.
Obviously, the man did it.
“Everyone is happy.” Shen Xingla’s lips curved into a smile.
A Miao: “…”
Le Yi: “…”
Shen I and Shen II: “…”
“Is it like an idol drama?” A Miao muttered.
Le Yi and the others hadn’t watched an idol drama, but they also felt that there was an unfathomable feeling.
“Just do it. Find a newspaper and let them immediately report it.” Shen Xinglan ordered with great satisfaction.
But to her surprise, when the news came out, the first one who couldn’t remain calm was the Xia family. When she was queried by Xia Wan on the phone, she felt that there was nothing unexpected…
“Is everything in the newspaper true?” Xia Wan’s tone was really bad, obviously suppressing something.
A Miao unconsciously smiled and said, “How can you believe everything in the newspaper?”
“Come back tomorrow. Grandpa will see you.” Xia Wan coldly said and hung up without A Miao’s response.
You can’t trust all of it, but at least not all were fake. It turned out that they were the most stupid, and they were deceived by an illegitimate child.
“What did she say?” Yao Lili frowned and asked, seeing her bad look.
Xia Wan replied, biting her teeth, “80% chance that news is true.”
“Wench!” Yao Lili dropped the nail polish in her hand and said, “You dare play us as monkeys?”
It was true. When the Xia family comically brought Shen Xinglan and Xia Wan together before, the two protagonists didn’t say anything, but just quietly watched their stupid behaviors.
“Will she come back?” Yao Lili was worried. If she was her, she would not dare to come back.
Xia Wan coldly sneered and said, “Won’t she come back? Hmph, that isn’t what we should worry about, because Grandpa will naturally take action.”
“In your opinion, should I go back?” At this time, A Miao was also asking Shen Xinglan the same question.
Shen Xinglan looked at her and asked, “Do you want to go back?”
“No.” A Miao unhesitatingly shook her head. If she could choose, she would rather have nothing to do with the Xia family.
“Then don’t go.” Shen Xinglan curled her hair in his hand. After half a year, A Miao’s hair was finally longer and had already passed her shoulders.
A Miao looked at him with a distressed face and complained, “But if Xia Yongqiang wants to see me, he can find a way even if I don’t see him.”
The most direct way of solving this problem was coming to the Xia’s door in person. but Shen Xinglan now was recovering, and she didn’t want these trifles to trouble him.
“Even if you go, it’s nothing much.” Shen Xinglan curled the corner of his mouth a little bit and said, “Let Shen I and Shen II accompany you to see what they want to do.”
Right! Now, it wasn’t her who would be hit in the face.
“I also think so. It is better for you to go back.” Le Yi, who was next to them, suddenly broke in.
A Miao turned back to look at him, and Le Yi smiled and said, “At the hospital gate, there are some journalists. You will be followed as soon as you go out. When you come out from the Xia family, everyone will know that what the newspaper said is true.”
“Don’t be afraid, just go!” Shen Xinglan touched her head and encouraged her.
So, the next day, A Miao appeared in the living room of the Xia family. Behind her was Shen I and Shen II, who scowled and were like door gods.
“You…” Xia Mei, who specially came back, incredulously stared at her and asked, “Is this your real appearance?”
A Miao wore an azure dress embroidered with blooming flowers – each pistil was embedded with a red gem, and petals were inlaid with dense diamonds.
It was a customized dress from top brands, and all the gems were authentic, low-key and luxurious.
“Yes! Am I like my mother?”
She showed a faint smile, making the arriving Xia Yongqiang frown.
