At that moment, I managed to force out a polite yet elegant smile.

"Actually, you could give me a discount, I wouldn't mind."

Her words made Professor Shen burst into laughter.

"Haha, you're such a straightforward girl!"

Don't worry, I will definitely give you the best price!

It's not because of those two brats, but because of your drawings, you've saved yourself the cost of a designer.

Even though you don't plan to study architecture, I'll still give you the best possible discount.

Lin Shih-Han's smile became even more genuine.

I shook hands with Professor Shen.

"Thank you, Professor Shen."

If that's what you're saying, then I won't accept their kindness.

Professor Shen laughed heartily when he heard her say that.

"No need to feel indebted to them. If you're here, please stay for a meal."

We'll have a good talk at noon about the construction details, including the start date and material preparation.

Hearing him say that, Lin Shih-Han had no reason to refuse, and immediately smiled and agreed to stay for dinner.

Then, seeing Guan Jingyi's grinning face, her smile froze.

Thinking about his secretary.

She gave him a half-smile.

Guan Jingyi felt uneasy when she laughed like that.

He moved closer to Lin Shih-han and said:

"Don't look at me with that half-smile. I have a feeling this isn't good news."

Don't scare me, I was just running errands for you.

I've at least put in some effort, so even if you don't appreciate it, don't look at me like that. It's giving me the creeps.

Lin Shih-Han noticed that Professor Shen had gone to make a phone call.

Professor Shen's wife was busy in the kitchen.

She lowered her voice and told him about her encounter with Secretary Song when she entered the city.

"Looks like you have a good sense of intuition. What's going on with your secretary?"

Guan Jingyi's face darkened when he heard her say that.

"I can't believe such a thing exists."

Good! I shouldn't have kept her in the first place; I never expected her to cause me so much trouble.

Luckily, you caught him acting up on his first attempt, otherwise it would have been a real problem.

I understand about this matter, and I will definitely handle it properly and give you an explanation.

This is also to give myself an explanation.

Also, my sister isn't actually a very bad person.

She was instigated by those people; young girls have poor self-control.

Once she's egged on, all sorts of thoughts come out of her head. You don't need to give me face, just deal with her however you want.

Teach her a good lesson in how to be a decent human being.

My second aunt is my stepmother; in old-fashioned terms, it's called "praising someone to death."

But I know perfectly well that no matter what I say, she won't listen to me.

That brat, she only listens to others, not me.

No matter what we say, she won't listen.

You'll have to teach her a lesson.

Lin Shih-Han looked him up and down.

So, are you siblings?

Is this brother of yours even related to you?

"It's one thing for a real older brother not to protect his own, but who talks like that?"

Hearing her say that, Guan Jingyi had something to say.

"I call this a case of loving someone deeply and being very strict with them!"

But I had promised my deceased mother that I would take good care of her.

So you can't hit or scold them!

"Since you're not an outsider, it's perfect for you to teach her a lesson!"

Lin Shih-han was about to burst out laughing. "Am I not an outsider? Am I an insider?"

We're just business partners; I have no obligation to help you discipline your sister.

However, if you really want your sister to be sensible and obedient, I do have a way.

It will definitely strike her hard.

Hearing her say that, not only Guan Jingyi, but even Meng Shao stared at her.

I want to know what her method is.

Lin Shih-Han coughed lightly and beckoned to her joint.

Guan Jingyi curiously leaned closer to her and listened to her whisper something in his ear.

With a complicated expression, he turned to look at his brother-in-law.

Then he turned to look at Lin Shih-han.

"are you serious?"

Lin Shih-Han nodded very seriously.

Do I look like I'm joking?

Guan Jingyi gasped, looking at his brother-in-law and then at Lin Shihhan.

He leaned close to Lin Shih-han and asked in a low voice.

Will my brother-in-law agree?

Lin Shih-Han raised her chin towards Meng Shao.

"Why don't you just ask him?" Guan Jingyi coughed lightly and, emboldened, went to Meng Shao's side.

"Brother-in-law, I only have one younger sister."

Meng Shao narrowed his eyes, not knowing what they had just talked about, but he knew it must be related to him.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Guan Jingyi was afraid that the Shen family would hear him, and he felt somewhat embarrassed.

He quietly leaned close to Meng Shao and repeated what Lin Shih-han had said to him.

Meng Shao's eyes narrowed suddenly.

"are you serious?"

Guan Jingyi nodded repeatedly.

"Of course I'm serious. I only have one sister, and I don't want her to be manipulated by others."

So I can only ask you, brother-in-law, for this matter. I trust your charm.

"OK!"

Guan Jingyi was surprised that Meng Shao was so easy to talk to and agreed immediately.

“Great, let’s go back and put the plan into action.”

We must make that silly girl understand who is sincere and who is deceitful.

After this, she definitely won't cause any more trouble.

Meng Shao disagreed with his words.

He turned to look at Lin Shih-Han.

"Did you come up with this idea?"

Lin Shih-Han, take a look at the roof of this villa. Do you know what material it's made of? It looks quite nice!
