Lu Si suddenly felt that this girl must be out of her mind. He looked back at her in confusion. “Have I ever had a good relationship with you? I’m afraid you have a deep misunderstanding.”
How could Shen Yuan not tell that he was mocking her? However, she still mustered her courage and said, “Master Si, why are you so resistant to my contact? Are you afraid that you won’t be able to control your feelings because you find out how good 1 am?”
Lu Si seemed to have heard a great joke. He pinched the center of his eyebrows in annoyance and said, “Goading doesn’t work on me. Not everyone can enter my house. If you don’t want to be thrown out, you’d better leave by yourself.”
Watching Lu Si’s back gradually walk away, Shen Yuan felt indignant and shouted behind him again, “Is it because of Mei Shu that you’ve been rejecting me?”
In the afternoon, she had already noticed that the relationship between these two was definitely special. However, there were no rumors outside indicating that Lu Si already had a girlfriend. Moreover, how could Mei Shu, who was so young, be with Lu Si?
She originally didn’t have much hope, but she didn’t expect Lu Si to actually stop in his tracks again because of her words. When he turned around, his expression was fierce, glaring at her.
“It has nothing to do with her. 1 simply detest you, but I disdain bullying a young girl. However, if you do something you shouldn’t, I won’t mind making the Shen family completely disappear from Lin City!”
Lu Si’s words made Shen Yuan’s heart tremble, unexpectedly unaware of Mei Shu’s significant place in his heart. She was momentarily lost in thought.
However, she quickly recovered and said, “Master Si, since that’s the case, let’s make a deal.”
Lu Si raised an eyebrow, “What kind of trick are you trying to play now?”
Shen Yuan gently smiled, “You will agree to this deal.”
The next day, Liu Lan couldn’t bear it anymore and took the initiative to confess to Mei Shu.
They arranged to meet at a well-insulated club. On the way there, Mei Shu specifically asked if Lu Si wanted to come.
However, Lu Si unusually did not immediately agree, claiming that there were matters in the company and asked her to be careful alone.
Mei Shu didn’t think too much about it. After all, Lu Si managed the entire Lu family, and it was impossible for him to have time every day like her.
Moreover, discussing the past with Liu Lan was something Mei Shu could handle alone.
In the private room, as soon as Liu Lan saw Mei Shu, she stood up from her chair, ignoring the waiter who was guiding them, and directly knelt down in front of Mei Shu.
The waiter was startled, looking at Mei Shu, and for a while, the atmosphere in the room became extremely awkward.
Mei Shu quickly helped her up, and only then did she say to the waiter, “You can leave now. Bring up some of the specialty dishes from your restaurant later.”
“Yes.” The waiter knew he should leave now, so he quickly turned around to leave and considerately closed the door behind him.
With no outsiders present, Mei Shu supported Liu Lan to sit on a chair and said, “You can sit down and slowly talk.”
Wiping away her tears, Liu Lan nodded obediently, “Miss Mei, I beg you to spare my husband. Our whole family relies on him to make a living. Without him, my daughter won’t be able to afford school fees!”
Mei Shu lowered her eyes and thought that Lu Si must have used some means to deal with Liu Lan’s family because of her. A smile appeared in her eyes. “As long as you tell me everything you know, I promise not to let anyone trouble you and your family again.”
Liu Lan’s hands on the table involuntarily clenched into fists. “1,1 actually didn’t see very clearly at that time…”
“Be more specific.” Mei Shu showed impatience, “Tell me everything you know!”
Looking at Mei Shu’s face, Liu Lan was in a daze for a long time. In her mind, the image of meeting Bai Ling for the first time gradually emerged.
At that time, the manor was in peak season, short-handed, and there were many miscellaneous matters to deal with.
The manager decided to find some temporary workers from outside to help with physical tasks.
Liu Lan received the manager’s notification that day and was responsible for entering information for the temporary workers who came to work. After completing the task, she would process the payroll for them.
This group of temporary workers needed to work here for five days, and they were paid 200 yuan each per day. Many people signed up.
The manager directly agreed when Old Wang, who was in charge of cleaning at the manor, recommended her son.
Considering the fact that Old Wang had always been diligent in her work, the manager agreed without much thought.
Unexpectedly, Old Wang’s son was not a serious worker. He only worked for one day but demanded that the finance department settle the payment of his salary.
Liu Lan was helpless dealing with such a ruffian, so she went to the manager to report.
At that time, the manager was very angry and was about to call Old Wang to ask what was going on. Unexpectedly, the personnel department said that Old Wang had taken a sick leave today.
The manager, who was already angry, didn’t want to explode on the elderly Old Wang and simply waved his hand, letting Zhou Nan leave.
Liu Lan took him to pay him for a day’s work, but on the way, Zhou Nan insisted on smoking a cigarette..
