She was used to dominating everything, and apart from being a little helpless about the matter that Lan Zheng asked her to do, the matter of Jun Qin was the one that she couldn't bring herself to deal with.

No wonder her master reminded her when he was teaching her that there are always people better than you. Even if she has mastered the true teachings of the master, there are still many people who are superior to her. If she suffers a loss at the hands of someone, she should be careful and it is best not to meddle in other people's business.

The Jun family also has their own information network. Zhou Han, who is next to Ye Junbo, is the best at being an underground worker. Why not let Zhou Han take care of this matter?

Jun Qin: It was my eldest brother who recommended me to your firm.

"Susu, how much does one of your paintings cost? I think if you have time, you can help me paint a few paintings for my shop."

Xu Susu smiled and said, "We are so familiar with each other, there is no need for money. When your new store opens, I will give you a few paintings. If customers come to your store to buy and like my paintings, you can introduce them to me."

She doesn't make money by selling paintings.

Occasionally, someone would take a fancy to her paintings and she would sell a few of them, each for only tens of thousands of yuan. However, it took her a long time to paint a painting, often two or three months to complete one.

Her sister once wanted to help her hold an art exhibition, but she refused.

She paints to cultivate her taste and also to deceive others.

"Okay, if someone likes your paintings, I will definitely help you make the connection."

Xu Susu didn't want to accept the money, and Yang Xi didn't bother to be polite with her. Being too polite to such a good friend would only make them feel distant.

"Welcome, Young Master Lan?"

When the shop girl saw someone coming in, she hurried forward to greet them. When she saw that the person leading the group was Lan Zheng, she was very surprised.

Lan Zheng said calmly, "I'm here to find Xu Susu."

The shop girl hurriedly pointed to Xu Susu's seat, complaining in her heart, "Young Master Lan is far away in Wangcheng, he should have just arrived today, how did he know that Miss Xu was in their shop?"

Has Sister Qing come back?

The shop girl looked behind Lan Zheng and saw only Lan Zheng's personal bodyguards, but no sign of Mu Qing at all.

The shop girl was quite disappointed, she missed Sister Qing very much.

Yang Xi and Xu Susu were also surprised to see Lan Zheng.

Soon, Yang Xi stood up and asked with a smile, "Master Lan, is Qingqing back?"

Lan Zheng said calmly, "No, I came here for business. Qingqing is still at home. If you need to find her, just call her."

Yang Xi said "oh" and was quite disappointed like the shop girl.

Even though she had just flown to Wangcheng to meet Mu Qing not long ago.

The two of them are very close friends and have known each other for a long time. They used to be together day and night in the store. Now that they are separated, Yang Xi often thinks of his good friend.

"Yang Xi, I want to talk to Miss Xu."

Yang Xi was very understanding and said with a smile: "Then you guys chat, I'll go make you a cup of coffee."

"Thanks."

Lan Zheng thanked her, and when Yang Xi turned to leave, he said, "Can you give me some snacks? I'm very hungry now."

Yang Xi smiled and said, "Of course."

This is her old friend's brother. It's a rare opportunity for him to come over, so she will treat him well.

Yang Xi personally went to make coffee for Lan Zheng, and asked the waiter to bring some exquisite snacks.

Lan Zheng signaled the bodyguards to find a place to sit down and not to stand, as that would be too abrupt and would affect others.

The bodyguards sat down not far from him.

Lan Zheng sat down opposite Xu Susu.

"Young Master Lan, long time no see."

Xu Susu greeted him softly, glanced at Lan Zheng, and then lowered her head, looking shy and nervous.

Lan Zheng complained in his heart: If I marry a woman who is afraid of me even when she looks at me, it would be strange if we can have a harmonious life together.

The old woman at home just doesn't want him to be well and doesn't want his marriage to be happy.

Of course, his visit to City A this time was ostensibly to investigate the market and to "cultivate" a relationship with Xu Susu, but secretly he was moving from City A to City B and City C, starting from the arrest of the man surnamed Zhuang. As long as it was proved that the drugs belonging to Zhuang were framed by the Hei family, he could obtain evidence to prove that the Hei family was involved in drug trafficking.

This is a serious crime and carries the death penalty.

Their Lan family wants to bring down the Hei family and kill the Hei family head and his son, and they do it openly and aboveboard, unlike the Hei family who always act behind the scenes and do shady things.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Lan Zheng stared at Xu Susu.

Every time he saw her, she was as gentle and beautiful as when he first met her.

But neither of these two things is what he wants.

What he wanted was the masked girl, a free and courageous girl. He would not despise her even if her face was covered with pockmarks.

Unfortunately, he still cannot confirm who his savior is.

Everyone suspected that she was Xu Susu.

Looking at the gentle girl in front of him, Lan Zheng really couldn't confuse Xu Susu with the masked girl.

They had met several times, and he even arranged for people to secretly monitor Xu Susu's whereabouts, but he didn't find anything unusual. Xu Susu was really a masked girl, and it was impossible for her to have no flaws at all.

"Master Lan, is there something wrong with me looking at you like that?"

Being stared at by Lan Zheng, Xu Susu blushed. She raised her head and glanced at Lan Zheng quickly, then quickly lowered her head. She asked questions in a soft voice, which sounded weak to Lan Zheng's ears.

"No."

"That……"

"I just want to see what's so good about you, so that my grandma and sister will like you and match you up with me."

"ah!"

Xu Susu looked up and looked at him in surprise. When she met his deep and cold black eyes, her face turned even redder.

Lan Zheng frowned.

She blushed all the time, as if he had done something to her.

"Second Miss Xu, to be honest, I came here this time with the intention of being in a relationship with you, cultivating some feelings for you, and then going back to report to my grandmother that you and I are truly incompatible and cannot develop feelings for each other, and to ask her to stop trying to match us up with each other."

Xu Susu: "...Young Master Lan, you want to pursue me?"

"It's not about pursuing you, it's about us meeting each other every day and cultivating our relationship."

Xu Susu: "...I, why should I listen to you? Since you are not pursuing me, why should I see you every day? Even though we have met several times and you are Qingqing's brother, we are not familiar with each other."

In fact, Xu Susu was also surprised by Lan Zheng's purpose.

What's going on with the Lan family now? Why would Lan Zheng come all the way to City A for her? Even though it was Old Lady Lan's request, when did he ever listen to his grandmother so much? Isn't the relationship between the grandmother and grandson very bad?

Or does he have other intentions?

I'll change my identity and ask him the real reason at night.

Lan Zheng was silent for a moment, then said, "If you say that meeting you every day means pursuing you, then consider it as me pursuing you."

Xu Susu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

What does this guy take her for?
