“Why did you ask about him?” Shen Xinglan began to talk indifferently, looking like he did not want to discuss it much.

Bai Yongwei smiled. “Xinglan, your father also cares about you and the company! Do you know what Ouyang has done in the company recently?”

“What did he do?” Shen Xinglan did not even look at her. He bowed his head and played with his shirt.

Bai Yongwei shot a glance at her son. Ji Yan immediately understood and said with a wry smile, “He laid eight department managers off in a week, two of them are people involved in key projects next year.”

“Listen, what does your friend really want?” Ji Zeming spoke directly. “What is his origin? Did you think about the consequences of letting people you don’t know into the company?”

A Miao gradually became anger. She looked at Shen Xinglan beside her, who leaned lazily on the wheelchair with sarcasm in his eyes the entire time.

Obviously, this was a father and son, but Shen Xinglan seemed to be an outsider. The three people opposite him were a family.

“If I dare to use him, it means that I trust him.” After lightly giving a stern glance to Ji Yan, Shen Xinglan looked up at Ji Zeming. “First, you should check who he fired, and then come and teach me a lesson.”

After he finished saying that, Shen Xinglan held out his hand, and Shen II, who had been waiting behind him, put a folder in his hand.

“I’m not lecturing you…” Ji Zeming said somewhat helplessly.

Shen Xinglan threw the folder onto the tea table. “Look.”

Bai Yongwei and Ji Yan secretly exchanged glances and Ji Yan bluntly shook his head at her.

“A Miao! I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful.” Bai Yongwei suddenly said, “I read the news. You, young people, are really good at playing. No wonder the women that Xinglan dated before all have similar eyes. It turns out that he chose them based on your criteria.”

Anyone who heard this would have felt uncomfortable. If A Miao did not know what happened to Shen Xinglan, she would undoubtedly have changed her face. But now…

“Haha, yes! Every time I refuse him, he runs to find someone else to have dinner, and he deliberately annoys me by going on the news.” A Miao smiled at Shen Xinglan, who gave her a wonderful look!

Bai Yongwei lifted the corners of her mouth, just wanting to say something exciting, and saw Ji Zeming drop the folder on the table.

“They are all dirty swine!” He was trembling with anger. “When did you find out?”

Some of these expelled people started a small company to supply the Ji Corp, some directly raised the price to make a difference, and some even simply sold seconds at best quality prices.

“I’ve been suspicious about them for a long time.” Shen Xinglan looked at him. “But there had not been any evidence before. Ouyang has some connections in his hand and has all the data.”

Bai Yongwei said with disdain, “Anyway, they had worked for the company for so many years. Is it good to expel them like this?”

“Shut up!” Ji Zeming smashed the document into Ji Yan’s arms. “Come and have a look.”

Ji Yan’s face changed and he picked it up and looked at several pages in an affectation. Because he lowered his head, no one saw his surprise and panic when he saw the evidence.

“If all these are true, then firing them is too merciful.” A few minutes later, Ji Yan raised his head.

Bai Yongwei was staring blankly and Ji Yan secretly waved to her from behind.

“If you doubt it, you can check it yourself.” Shen Xinglan said casually, “They have already been fired anyway.”

Ji Zeming nodded angrily. “Well done. As Ji Yan said, you should sue them!”

“But…”

“Mom!” Ji Yan interrupted her words and looked at her with warning eyes. “I believe my brother’s friend; all this should be true. Do you agree with me?”

Bai Yongwei shook her fist and fell silent.

“Dad, elder brother! Don’t worry, I will cooperate with Assistant Ouyang.” Ji Yan smiled. “I have eaten with him several times and he’s a good person.”

Ji Zeming saw that the matter was clear and brought up a new topic.

“At the end of the year’s commercial cocktail party, you must bring A Miao. “I don’t care whether or not you have told me the truth about the previous events. Now that you are together, don’t make trouble.”

Ji Zeming looked at A Miao. I know you had some conflicts with Xiaoxue before, but since you want to be her sister-in-law, be generous and don’t argue with her.”

“As long as she doesn’t annoy me, I won’t argue with her,” A Miao said with a smile.

“Don’t worry, I have already admonished her.” Ji Zeming thought that A Miao was somewhat impudent before, but now his son liked her and he was not sure what to say.

Bai Yongwei, however, said reluctantly, “A Miao! Xiaoxue will be back tomorrow. You can talk more then. If there is any misunderstanding, just let it go.”

A Miao did not speak, just nodded her head. Bai Yongwei secretly gave her a hard stare. She felt it was a waste of her time.

“Remember to come for dinner on New Year’s Day.” As he left, Ji Zeming urged him.

Seeing the hateful trio off, A Miao silently slipped into the arms of Shen Xinglan.

“What’s the matter?” Shen Xinglan thought that she was frightened by Bai Yongwei, mother and son. He caressed her back and softly said, “It’s okay. Don’t worry about them. I’ll send someone to watch Ji Yan’s side and won’t give him another chance to touch you.”

A Miao shook her head in his arms and stretched out her hand to hold him tightly.

“A Miao?” Shen Xinglan was spooked by her abnormal behavior and was even somewhat at a loss.

“I will accompany you in the future. We are two people. We are a family, you and me!” A Miao’s voice sobbed a little. After hearing this, Shen Xinglan was shocked.

A pair of hands encircled her waist, and Shen Xinglan picked her up and put her on his leg. “Fool…”

“You also like fools!” A Miao tilted her head to look at him.

Shen Xinglan touched her forehead. “Yes, I also like fools.”

The two of them hugged each other and did not speak for a long time. Looking from behind, they appeared like vines that were growing together. They were inseparable from each other.

“I think… even if Shanshan returns, Shen will not leave her.” In the doorway of the study on the second floor, Ouyang Jin was holding a phone, not knowing who he was talking to.

The person on the other side of the phone was obviously angry, and Ouyang Jin looked somewhat helpless. “If you insist on thinking that, then there’s nothing to be done about it. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you: if you go too far, then don’t blame Shen for not caring about your brotherhood.”

“Someone will come tomorrow with dresses for you to try on.” At dinner, Shen Xinglan suddenly said, “Tell them everything that you want.”

A Miao knew this was to prepare for the reception on New Year’s Eve, and she nodded her head in response.

“It’s a pity that we can’t dance this year.” Shen Xinglan was still in a wheelchair, so he could not dance and neither could A Miao.

“I don’t know how to dance anyway,” A Miao said with some embarrassment.

“When I’m healed, I’ll teach you!” said Shen Xinglan, raising the corners of his mouth.

Over the next two days, Le Yi also came. He hung up lanterns, lights, and other things at home with both Shen I and Shen II, and decided on several restaurants to deliver meals on New Year’s Day.

“Where’s Shen III?” A Miao finally remembered that there was a Shen missing…

Shen I was directing the gardener to arrange the flowers and he casually replied, “There are other tasks, he will be back after the Spring Festival.”

“Will he not be allowed to come back for the Spring Festival?” A Miao turned to ask Shen Xinglan, who looked up at her and replied, “He is celebrating the Spring Festival with others.”

A Miao thought he would be with his family for the Spring Festival!

On Chinese New Year’s Eve, Shen Xinglan was going to the company to attend the year-end meeting, and he dropped off A Miao to see Song Baohua.

“I’ll pick you up at noon.” Shen Xinglan grabbed her and kissed her several times. Finally, A Miao, afraid of being seen, pushed him away and ran inside.

Song Baohua’s baozi shop had been closed because the materials she used were really delicious and the business had been good. Her monthly income had reached 7-8,000 yuan. She was glad to see A Miao and pulled her upstairs.

“I have bought all the necessary Chinese New Year’s goods. I was just frying meatballs and tofu!”

“Where is Zhou Xiao?” No shadow of Zhou Xiao was seen upstairs.

Song Baohua sighed. “Don’t mention her. She’s been going out to run around every day as soon as her holiday began. She went to play with her classmates early in the morning.”

“She won’t come back at noon?” A Miao frowned as she could not let Auntie Song celebrate the Spring Festival alone.

“Don’t worry, she should be back. She wants to go out for a run on the Spring Festival day. The others have to go home for a family reunion dinner!” Song Baohua brought the fruit inside.

A Miao peeled an orange and gave half to Song Baohua. “I can’t be with you this Spring Festival day. Wait for the second day of the new year! I’ll have someone pick you up and take you to the hotel.”

“Are you going to the Shen family for the Spring Festival?” Song Baohua was a little worried. “I heard that he has a stepmother in the family, will that be bad for you?”

“You said she was a stepmother, and you are expecting that she treats me as a daughter?” A Miao smiled and said, “I can’t see her at ordinary times. It is just dinner.”

Song Baohua sighed secretly. She had watched the news. The others did not know what was going on. But how could she not know? Something like ‘love at first sight’… there was no such thing.

“A Miao, tell me the truth. What exactly is that Shen Xinglan doing to you now?” She did not want to ask, but she could not resist.

“He is very kind to me.” A Miao smiled and said, “Auntie Song, this time, it’s true!”

Song Baohua was somewhat surprised. After all, after taking care of A Miao for so many years, she could tell whether she was really happy or not.

“That’s good! That’s good!” She just smiled and patted A Miao’s hand. “Then I’m relieved.”

Just then, she heard the sound of drumming up the stairs. Zhou Xiao pushed the door and came in. “Well! What are you whispering while I’m away!”

“The dead girl still knows to come back!” Song Baohua stood up and poked her twice. “I’m going to fry some dough twists and let A Miao take them with her. You two have fun.”

When Song Baohua went out, Zhou Xiao glared at A Miao with a jealous face. “This time, you can’t tell me that you’re having a bad time. Publicly showing your affection.”

“You also believe what reporters write indiscriminately!” A Miao slipped an orange into her mouth.

Zhou Xiao tickled her a few times. “Come on, Shen Xinglan kisses you in public. All eyes can see it!”

The two of them joked for a while, then Zhou Xiao suddenly said with a mysterious face, “Did you already have that?”

“Have what?” A Miao looked blank.

“Having… having sex!” Zhou Xiao gave her a push. “What a shame.”

A Miao shot her a glare. “What are you talking about?”

Zhou Xiao insisted on talking about this matter without hesitation. A Miao simply ran downstairs to help Song Baohua. But she did not expect that when Shen Xinglan came to pick her up at noon, Zhou Xiao would actually shout in front of Shen Xinglan.

“Hey, lady-killer, don’t like the new one and hate the old one! A Miao is your person, now you have to be responsible for her!”
