I didn't say anything and listened to Lan Feng continue.
"I thought I'd pay the bill, so I could repay her. But she had already left her card at the cashier when she made the restaurant reservation. Not only did she not ask me to pay, she also put 20,000 yuan in an envelope for me."
Sure enough, the envelope contained cash.
I understand why Cai Ya didn't let Lan Feng pay. I've seen the menu at that restaurant, and the prices aren't cheap. It's a significant expense for Lan Feng, but for Cai Ya, it's just pocket money.
only--
"Why would she give you money?" I couldn't understand.
Lan Feng was also baffled. "I was stunned, too. She started by saying that as your biological mother's best friend, she was thanking the Lan family for taking care of you over the years on behalf of Madam Tang. As for the 20,000 yuan, she said it was Guoxu's joining bonus."
A joining bonus? Fang Guoxu is just a security guard, where's the joining bonus?
The human resources department does have such a system, but it is only set up for executives who jump from Fortune 500 companies and join Huake.
Lan Feng said cautiously, "Guo Xu had never heard of any new employee bonuses, and 20,000 is a significant amount, so we didn't dare accept it. Fortunately, Cai Ya didn't insist on it."
This money is definitely not what Fang Guoxu deserves, but if he is really thanking the Lan family for taking care of me over the years on behalf of the Tang family, then the 20,000 yuan is more like a humiliation to the Lan family.
What's more, if anyone wants to thank the Lan family, it should be Mingsi who should come forward.
Cai Ya is just Mingsi's best friend, and she is not from the Tang or Ming family. What qualifications does she have to thank the Lan family on Mingsi's behalf?
My intuition tells me that Cai Ya’s request to meet Lan Feng must not be just to give them money.
"She asked you to meet just to have a meal together?"
"Yes. But during dinner, she kept asking about my parents' lives, intentionally or unintentionally. She also asked about your background and asked if I knew how my parents adopted you."
My heart tightened, this was exactly the purpose of Cai Ya asking Lan Feng to meet.
"Then what did you answer?" My voice was a little hurried. I was afraid that Lan Feng would be tricked by Cai Ya and say something she shouldn't.
"Of course I can't explain it clearly." Lan Feng said rationally, "When your parents adopted you, I was still young. They didn't mention these things to me, so I naturally don't know. But even if I knew, I wouldn't tell her. It's a private family matter, and she, as an outsider, shouldn't ask about it."
Lan Feng's words made me feel relieved. It was a rare moment for her to be clever, and it did help me.
But why did Cai Ya want to investigate the fact that I was adopted?
No matter how I was adopted by the Lan family's parents, Mingsi and I have even done a paternity test. I am Mingsi's daughter, and this cannot be faked.
My mind was a little confused, and coupled with my previous suspicion of Lan Feng, I blurted out, "You called me just to tell me this?"
When I saw Lan Feng and Cai Ya meeting before, my trust in Lan Feng had already been shaken.
Although what she said just now didn't sound like a lie, I still couldn't help but be a little wary of Lan Feng.
Facing my question, Lan Feng paused and softly explained, "Xiao Shan, I'm truly happy for you to be able to return to the Tang family, because I hope you can feel the warmth of family again. However, I heard from Guo Xu that although you've returned to the Tang family, it seems that you and Tang Jun have never gotten along."
