Chapter 344 Awakening the Cold-Hearted Head of the Family (Part 15)



Shi Lan was now unhappy. What did she mean by needing money? She had hands and feet; having entered this body, she had an obligation to complete the tasks the original owner should have done. Why should she use his money?

"No need, I can handle this myself," Shi Lan said, picking up the insulated box and walking away.

Ning Yuze was taken aback. Ever since he met Shi Lan, she seemed to have a particularly enthusiastic attitude towards him. This was the first time she had ever given him the cold shoulder.

Shi Lan put her things in the kitchen, asked the housekeeper for permission, and went out.

I hadn't gone far when I heard car horns blaring all around me.

Shi Lan turned her head and saw the man in the driver's seat stick his head out and say, "Get in the car."

The man was one of the bodyguards in the mansion, and his name was Chen Hao.

Shi Lan had met him before when they were having meals or changing shifts. Seeing that she recognized the person, she didn't stand on ceremony and got into the car directly.

After settling down, Shi Lan thanked them and said, "What a coincidence."

Chen Hao stared ahead expressionlessly and said, "It's not a coincidence. The butler said your pedal is too slow and asked me to take you there. Go quickly and come back quickly."

Shi Lan was stunned. She had never received this kind of treatment before when she went to and from get off work. Thinking of that arrogant young master, Shi Lan felt a chill in her heart. She had been so rude just now, but he was not only not angry, but also had someone take her there.

Shi Lan felt somewhat guilty; she shouldn't have treated him that way.

The car quickly drove out of the quiet, affluent neighborhood, and the surrounding environment gradually became noisier. Chen Hao kept looking at the passing vehicles and asked, "Where are you going?"

Shi Lan gave the address and turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.

"I heard from Wen Jiao that the housekeeper sent you to serve the young master?"

Shi Lan turned to look at Chen Hao and said, "You care about this too? Do you also want to know if the young master is good-looking or not?"

Chen Hao laughed, "How could that be? I'm a man, I don't care about looks."

Shi Lan laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. It's human nature to like pretty women. I've never heard of a man who doesn't like pretty women."

Chen Hao nodded, "A woman is a man's second face. If a man can't present his woman to a woman, he will definitely lose face."

Shi Lan's lips curled slightly as she turned her gaze back to the window. She felt that his words were a bit too chauvinistic. He thought that a woman was her face, but didn't women think the same way? It was just a matter of who could make whom look good.

Seeing that she remained silent again, Chen Hao thought for a moment and said, "You've been at the mansion for a while now, and I don't see that you've had much rest."

Shi Lan was surprised. She had just arrived and wanted to make a good impression. In addition, there were indeed fewer people to tidy up the house. She had only rested for one day since she arrived. How did he know this?

Chen Hao saw Shi Lan staring at him with wide eyes and couldn't help but smile.

“Our schedule is kept together with yours, and I just glance at it when I have nothing to do.”

Shi Lan smiled but didn't say anything.

Their schedules were indeed placed together, but there was a kitchen in between, so you wouldn't see hers unless you looked carefully.

Why would he need to check his own work schedule? Could it be that the evil thing already knows him and wants to use others to spy on him?

Shi Lan glanced at Chen Hao, her vigilance rising to its peak. To avoid being tricked into revealing information, Shi Lan half-closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair to rest.

Chen Hao waited for a while, and seeing that there was no movement beside him, he took the opportunity to turn his head and look while waiting for the red light, only to find that Shi Lan had fallen asleep.

Chen Hao didn't stay in the mansion for very long, but he had heard about the young master's temper.

Sunlight refracted through the dark glass, leaving a faint ray of light that perfectly illuminated the pale blue under her eyes.

Look, such a beautiful woman has been ruined and lost some of her charm.

The red light quickly turned green, Chen Hao stepped on the gas, the car jerked forward, and Shi Lan's body moved forward with it.

Pretending to be asleep at this point would seem rather insincere.

Helpless, Shi Lan had no choice but to open her eyes and ask, "Where are we?"

Chen Hao grinned and said, "Almost there, just one more turn and we'll be there."

Shi Lan responded and lowered her head to tidy up her things.

Within two minutes, the car pulled over to the side of the road. Through the car window, Shi Lan spotted the clothing store's facade precisely, quickly opened the car door, and headed towards it.

As soon as I entered, the owner came to greet me.

"Miss Shi, you've arrived."

Shi Lan nodded with a smile.

The shop owner ushered Shi Lan to the counter, took out a piece of paper from inside, and said, "This time the pattern is quite complicated. To show the effect in the picture, at least three embroidery techniques are needed. In addition, it is full embroidery, and there are even the slightest loose thread. However, the price is high, already in the five figures."

Shi Lan looked it over carefully and felt that she had no problems, so she said, "Boss, how many different numbers are there for a five-digit number? Can you give me a specific number?"

The boss had an expression you'd never expect, and held up two fingers, saying, "The customer wants it completed in a month."

Shi Lan frowned and carefully considered the matter. The difficulty of this design lay in the fact that it required three different embroidery techniques to be interwoven. It would be quite troublesome to do it without revealing a single trace. However, it was not too difficult for her. A month would be quite comfortable for her. It was just that the price was a bit low considering the difficulty of the embroidery.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the boss felt a little uneasy. He only dared to take on this job because he had seen Shi Lan's previous embroidery work. If she refused to take it, he would be stuck with the job. Losing a business was a small matter, but the key was that this customer was a big client of his, who spent hundreds of thousands of yuan here every year.
