The sun was shining high in the sky, and the scorching heat was pressing. Yi Lianqian had just sent off a customer, and she took advantage of the rare opportunity to walk into the bar counter, wanting to make a cold drink to quench her thirst.
If it weren't for the cold air, she would have died long ago.
She picked up the cup and was about to drink when a childish voice suddenly came from behind her.
"I'm going to die. How dare you scare me!" Yi Lianqian was shocked. She turned around to look for the culprit, only to see a triumphant smile on Can Jie's face. He did not seem to feel sorry for his actions at all.
"Who taught you to be so timid?”Can Jie raised the pinky of his right hand.
"Good job. You're getting bolder and bolder. You don't even put me, your godmother, in your eyes!”Yi Lianqian narrowed her eyes and glared at Can Jie.
"Godmother Lianqian, getting angry will make you old. A beautiful woman like you shouldn't be angry. My classmates all say that Godmother Lianqian's smile is the best.”
Can Jie wasn't someone easy to deal with. He could always turn a crisis into a turning point, and his honey-like mouth could always coax others.
"Really?" Yi Lianqian, who had been praised to the heavens, completely threw her anger to the back of her mind and had an expression of being flattered.
"Of course it's true." Can Jie nodded.
"Why do you have the time to come here?"
"I'm fine." Can Jie raised his eyebrows and acted like an adult.
"Don't you dare. Weren't you having fun at your father's place?”
Speaking of this Xue Mu Yang, it was really ridiculous. Although Can Jie was smart, he could not let a ten-year-old child come into contact with everything in the business world.
Because she couldn't stand this kind of situation, she would occasionally say a few words to Zhiqin, but Zhiqin only said that Canjie volunteered to learn, and she couldn't do anything about the father and son.
Alright, there was nothing she could do, right? Then she couldn't be bothered to care about their family's matters anymore. As long as they were happy, she could do whatever they wanted.
"Daddy and Mommy have an appointment tonight, so they asked me to come over and wait for him.”
"Where are you going?" Yi Lianqian asked curiously.
Ever since their family reunited, Xue Mu Yang would bring Zhiqin and Can Jie out from time to time. Every time she wanted to go with them, she would be rejected by Xue Mu Yang.
His reason was…he didn't want an outsider to disturb the family of three enjoying their time together!
Look, is this reasonable?
What was this?
She was Zhiqin's good friend and Canjie's godmother. There was nothing wrong with going out with them, but he actually rejected her with this sentence, leaving her with no room to retaliate.
Even now, she was still a little unhappy with Xue Mu Yang's cold attitude. If not for the sake of Can Jie and Zhiqin, she would have retaliated long ago.
"Daddy told me not to tell you."
"That miser." Their enmity was huge, and now even Can Jie's heart was leaning towards him.
Yi Lianqian gritted her teeth and wanted to complain, but the pleasant sound of wind chimes that represented the arrival of a guest came from the door. Yi Lianqian hurriedly walked out of the bar counter to welcome the guest.
She looked at the door with a smile.
A man in a tight black T-shirt and jeans walked in.
"Welcome…Uh, sir, what can I do for you?”
"Isn't this a beauty studio?”
"Yes." Yi Lianqian hurriedly nodded.
"Then that's it."
Yi Lianqian frowned in confusion." Are you here to look for someone?”
"Yes and no. I want to look for someone and do a face.”Shangguan Zituo said.
Yi Lianqian swallowed her saliva awkwardly." Sir, we are only women here, not men. Do you understand?"”Did this person come to the wrong place or was he deliberately making things difficult for her?
"We're all guests, so what's the point of distinguishing between women and men?”
"But we only do business with women. The signboard outside is very clear.”
"There's no reason to turn away business. Hua Menglan is upstairs, right?”Shangguan Zituo took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of mesmerizing black eyes.
"You know Menglan?"
What a handsome man!
Heavens! She was almost drooling…
No way, what was she infatuated with? Yi Lian gulped. If she scared this handsome guy away, who would satisfy her curiosity…When did Menglan meet such a handsome man?
It seemed that she was also very good at keeping secrets. She was so mysterious that even her close friend did not know!
Shangguan Zituo smiled ambiguously." We don't just know each other. We have a close relationship!”
" A close relationship?!" Yi Lianqian stared at Shangguan Zituo with widened eyes.
"She's upstairs, right? Call her down and you'll know if I'm telling the truth.”
"Canjie, go and call your godmother Menglan down. Tell her that there's a distinguished guest visiting.”
"Isn't Menglan's godmother busy?" There were three pairs of shoes on the floor below the stairs. Can Jie knew that they were busy upstairs. How could Hua Menglan leave?
"It's okay, Zhiqin and Xichen will settle it.”
Can Jie nodded and went upstairs to look for Hua Menglan.
After a while, Hua Menglan walked down the stairs in a white top and a black skirt.
With a little rouge on her face, she looked quite healthy and rosy.
"Godmother Menglan, that man is looking for you.”Can Jie said from behind Hua Menglan.
Hua Menglan looked up and saw a man smiling at her. For some reason, she had a bad feeling.
"Why are you here?" It was actually Shangguan Zituo. She felt that her mind was going crazy. How could there be two people so similar in the world? If they were really two people.
"Why can't I be here?" He raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Are you looking for me?"
"That's right." He answered firmly.
"How did you know I was here?”
"Of course, I'll investigate."
"Don't you think that what you've done has already violated my privacy?”
"Yi Lianqian?" He said these three words slowly and calmly.
"Are you calling me?" How did he know her name?
"No, I'm not calling you. To be precise, I'm calling her.”He pointed at Hua Menglan with a provocative expression.
"Her name is Menglan. Don't you know her?”
"You'll have to ask her," Shangguan Zituo showed his white teeth and threw the question to Hua Menglan with bad intentions.
Hua Menglan's lie was exposed. She stared at Shangguan Zituo. This scoundrel kept provoking her, making it difficult for her not to be angry.
"I only borrowed your name to make this scoundrel mistake me for Yi Lianqian.”
"I see." Yi Lianqian nodded in understanding." He said that he has a close relationship with you. What's the relationship between the two of you?”It wouldn't kill her to borrow their names. She was more concerned about their relationship.
"It's alright."
"We have a deep relationship."
The two of them replied at the same time.
Shangguan Zituo wanted to go against Hua Menglan, so of course he wouldn't appear here for no reason. However, before he made his intentions clear, he couldn't help but tease Hua Menglan.
"Who has anything to do with you? If you don't leave, I'll call the police immediately.”After Hua Menglan finished speaking, she picked up the microphone and prepared to dial the number. However, a hand swiftly snatched the microphone away from her hand. This person was none other than Yi Lianqian.
"Lian Qian, what are you doing?"
"If there's something to say, let's talk it out. There's no need to be so ruthless.”
"He got someone to investigate me and has already violated my privacy. If I don't call the police, do I have to wait until something happens before calling the police?”
"It's not that serious, right?" To be able to make Meng Lan, who had always been calm and composed, become so irrational, who exactly was this man?
"Zhiqin and Xichen are busy upstairs. Go upstairs and help.”Hua Menglan crossed her arms in front of her chest, as if she could not refuse.
If she wanted to get rid of this troublesome man, Lian Qian's curiosity would only get in the way!
"Ah!" Although Yi Lianqian was wailing, she had no choice but to obediently go upstairs. On the other hand, Can Jie's shoulders were trembling. The sharp-eyed Hua Menglan immediately noticed that he was secretly laughing.
"You go upstairs too." She had to clear the area in order to focus on him. If she didn't focus on dealing with him, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle him.
" Me too…" Seeing Hua Menglan nod, Can Jie could only accept his fate. He walked up the stairs with his shoulders hanging down.
"Alright, the people who are in the way have gone upstairs. What about you? Tell me your purpose. I'm not an idiot. Why are you investigating me?”
Shangguan Zituo fixed his gaze on Hua Menglan and smiled with satisfaction. The Hua Menglan in front of him was completely different from the depressed Hua Menglan a few days ago. He liked the lively Hua Menglan in front of him.
"I'm just bored and having fun.”
"Do you think I'll believe you?"
"I know you won't believe me, but I came here today purely to relax my body. I hope you can help me do a facial. You won't refuse, right?”
"You?" Hua Menglan widened her eyes in shock.
"Don't think that getting a face done is a woman's right. Men also have a race that loves beauty, just like me.”He pointed at himself.
" Stop fooling around…" Hua Menglan didn't take his words seriously at all. She thought he was joking. "I'm very busy. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here.”She rolled her eyes.
Shangguan Zituo suddenly leaned forward." I'm serious.”
With the car in front of her, Hua Menglan immediately retreated the moment he stepped forward." Don't do that. Do you think I'm easy to fool?”She stared at him warily.
Shangguan Zituo raised his eyebrows." You are indeed not easy to fool.”
"Cut the crap. I'm very busy." She glared at him coldly.
"I know you're a busy man. You're busy dating the young master of the Shangguan Group, going to work, investigating who shot your father, and…"
"You've already seriously violated my privacy. If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being rude to you!”The more she listened, the angrier she became. If he hadn't sent someone to keep an eye on her every move, how could he know so much about her?
"Don't you want to know who shot your father?”
Hua Menglan was stunned." You know?"
Investigating the enemy who killed her father was a very tricky matter. Her father had too many enemies. It was a waste of time for her to investigate them one by one. Although she had secretly sent people to investigate this matter, it had always been like a stone sinking into the sea, and he actually knew!
Could it be that this was a bait? He was just trying to lure her into falling for it.
Shangguan Zituo smiled but didn't answer, looking mysterious.
Hua Menglan rolled her eyes." You don't know at all. You just want to use this matter to get close to me.”She said it with absolute certainty.
Shangguan Zituo clapped his hands together, his eyes full of admiration. She was indeed a cautious woman. He needed such a woman.
The sound of clapping lingered in Hua Menglan's ears, sounding rather ear-piercing.
"Are you so afraid that I'll lie to you?"
"Alright, if you know, can you tell me who the murderer is immediately? If you can't tell me, please get out of my sight immediately.”
Hua Menglan crossed her arms in front of her chest in disbelief.
She wanted to see what he could say.
"I'm not in a good mood right now and don't want to talk about it.”Facing Hua Menglan's provocation, Shangguan Zituo was still unmoved and teased her, as if making her angry was one of the greatest pleasures in his life.
" You…" Hua Menglan gritted her teeth and glared at him.
"Don't be angry yet. I'm not in a good mood right now, but if you can make me happy, I might be in the mood to talk about it later.”He was not afraid of death as he teased the furious Hua Menglan.
"Shangguan Zituo, don't be so ungrateful.”She was so angry that she was about to go crazy.
This man had the ability to provoke her anger. He was simply treating her like a fool.
"Do you really think that you were lucky to escape from me last time? No, I let you go on purpose.”
"Hmph, do you think I'll believe you?”She had relied on her own ability to escape from his demonic claws. She did not believe that this man could do anything to her.
Shangguan Zituo's lips curled up slightly, and a touch of interest flashed in his eyes. He approached her step by step." Women, sometimes you must not be too stubborn. This will only harm yourself."”
Facing his approach, Hua Menglan lowered her body. She was about to dodge Shangguan Zituo's strong body, but she was still a step too late. A big hand had already pulled her into an unfamiliar embrace.
Shangguan Zituo restrained Hua Menglan's body.
Hua Menglan glared at him, unable to move. Her eyes were filled with anger." Let go."”His tone was calm after being suppressed.
"Are you free later?" "Let's go outside and find a quiet place to talk," he said seriously.”
"I'm busy."
" I see…" He paused.
" What? Let go of me now, or I'll call for help. When that happens, I'll see you…" Damn it, he actually dared to violate her.
One of the best ways to deal with a nagging woman was to shut her mouth.
Shangguan Zituo sneakily kissed her and left her soft lips in satisfaction. Suddenly, a palm wind hit him. Shangguan Zituo quickly reached out his left hand to catch it.
"You're angry, aren't you?" He smiled proudly, his left hand evilly touching the white and tender hand that he had caught.
"You big pervert, pervert, I can't wait to cut you into pieces.”Hua Menglan angrily wiped away the stain on her lips, her eyes filled with anger.
Facing Hua Menglan's furious glare, Shangguan Zituo's handsome face, which was as sharp as a knife, revealed an evil smile. He was completely unmoved.
"According to my investigation, your three close friends don't know what kind of agreement you made with Shangguan Zifei, right?”he said with a beaming face.
Hua Menglan glared at him fiercely. This sinister person actually didn't let go of her after stealing a kiss. This man was simply shameless to the extreme.
That's right, she didn't even mention a word about what had happened in the past few days in front of her three good friends. The reason was that she didn't want them to worry, and he actually used this to threaten her.
"You dare to say it!"
"The mouth is on my face. Why wouldn't I dare?”
She glared at him furiously, but in less than a few seconds, she suddenly realized that she could not do anything to Shangguan Zituo. Her cold attitude in the past was useless on him. He seemed to like seeing her angry, so every word and every look was full of provocation.
"Are you leaving or not?"
She finally compromised and bowed to the evil forces.
"What about you?"
"If you don't leave now, don't blame me for changing my mind.”
Go, of course go!
Since she had already agreed, how could she not leave!#
