Zhan Pingting patted Lili's cheek, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "Lili, right? I still have the CCTV footage of you going into Nian's bedroom. If I want to, I'll keep it. If I don't want to, I'll show it to my brother someday."
After a pause, Zhan Pingting's smile deepened: "So, from now on, will you always make me happy?"
Lili shuddered.
She looked at the face of the person in front of her.
She exudes a girlish innocence, yet she sends chills down your spine!
"Miss Zhan, I'll do whatever you ask me to do from now on." Lili was truly frightened: "I promise to make you happy and listen to you."
Zhan Pingting was satisfied.
She patted Lili's head: "Good girl."
........
Later, Zhan Pingting stayed in the White Jade Palace to wait for Zhan Xiuchen to return.
She specifically instructed Aunt Fen.
What happened today is a minor matter; there's no need to tell Zhan Xiuchen.
Aunt Fen isn't stupid.
The gold chain was eventually found.
The dirty water wasn't even splashed on the lady.
Everyone was happy.
Naturally, I wouldn't go looking for trouble.
After Aunt Fen left, only Zhan Pingting and her personal maid remained.
Zhan Pingting took a bite of a grape.
Juicy.
It tastes sweet.
She said thoughtfully, "This woman is very calm and quick-witted. You see, as soon as she was called here, she understood that someone was framing her, and she was even able to guess that the gold chain was in her bag."
At this point, Zhan Pingting curled her lip and complained, "But seriously, what kind of bag is that? It's so tacky!"
Zhan Pingting's personal maid is named Juan'er.
This is not an ordinary servant.
Juan'er is a retired female special forces soldier.
Throughout country A.
There are very few women who can become special forces soldiers.
Both their skills and agility are unmatched by ordinary people.
Juan'er is a maid named Zhan Pingting.
In reality, he was Zhan Pingting's bodyguard.
Zhan Pingting's confidante.
“Miss Zhan, she is very alert, more alert than most people,” Juan’er said. “I am skilled enough to take a personal item without the other person noticing, but I almost failed today.”
"It's not that I reacted quickly, she probably noticed."
"Oh." Zhan Pingting smiled and said, "I knew that cunning fox Zhan Xiuchen wouldn't just bring back any woman. This woman isn't his wife in name only, but is actually just like you, the one by my side, isn't she?"
“Probably not,” Juan’er said. “She probably hasn’t trained before. It would be easy for the President to find someone with martial arts skills. There’s no need to train someone from scratch. Besides, the President is clearly hiding his identity. If she’s just someone like me, there’s no need for that.”
Zhan Pingting tapped her fingers on the table intermittently: "What exactly do you mean by Zhan Xiuchen bringing this woman back?"
"Whether it's playing around with this woman or cultivating a trusted confidant, there's really no need to hide your identity."
Juan'er couldn't figure it out either.
Zhan Pingting's head was starting to ache from thinking, so she decided to stop.
She is most afraid of pain.
"But don't let her proud demeanor fool you, she's very good at assessing situations," Zhan Pingting said. "Unlike some people who are stubbornly stupid, she even knew to call Zhan Xiuchen back, she's quite clever."
“Miss, you were right today. You only tested the waters without causing trouble,” Juan’er said. “Otherwise, when the President comes, he will definitely be wary of you.”
Zhan Pingting laughed: "Do you think he's not wary of me now?"
Juan'er was taken aback.
Zhan Pingting smiled and shook her head: "Zhan Xiuchen is very smart, otherwise he wouldn't have become president. Otherwise, why would I want to curry favor with him when Zhan Wang is clearly my own brother?"
After a pause, Zhan Pingting changed the subject: "By the way, go and make arrangements for me—a makeup artist and a stylist. I want to look my best at tonight's banquet; I want to outshine everyone."
At this point, Zhan Pingting seemed to remember something, and a hint of regret appeared in her eyes: "Oh no, I might not be able to outshine her. Shi Yu is a very beautiful woman, but it doesn't matter. I'm willing to let her outshine me. After all, she's a gift I gave to my brother."
........
Today is the day Xiaocao is discharged from the hospital.
After staying in the hospital for so long, Xiaocao has lost weight.
Fortunately, she is in good spirits.
After arriving at Xiaocao's bedroom, Shi Nian dumped everything out of the snakeskin bag.
Each sheet of paper was filled with writing.
This was copied by Shi Nian from a book she saw at the White Jade Palace.
These words cannot be seen in the slums.
Little Grass glanced at it and then her eyes widened.
The words on the paper were astonishing to the people in the slums.
All men are created equal.
There is no distinction between noble and lowly.
Everyone should learn to face themselves squarely and not become a slave to others' trampling.
If people from poor families saw this, they would probably be terrified.
But the little grass, upon seeing this, began to breathe more and more heavily.
His eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Unable to contain her excitement, she said to Shi Nian, "Niannian! That's it! I think that's it!"
“The book I read before said that people in slums are born inferior, so we have to accept our fate and can only do the hardest and most tiring work. But why is that!”
The little grass stretched out its hands: "We all have two hands and two legs. I looked at the people in the rich area, and they don't have three heads and six arms like us. Why can they be so high and mighty, and why are we as pitiful as little ants!"
Shi Nian smiled.
She knew that the little grass was just like her.
That's why she spent so much time copying down these words to show Xiaocao.
She and Xiaocao are more than ten years apart in age.
But they were like the closest of friends.
Shi Nian wanted to share everything with Xiao Cao!
“Little grass, because they want to enslave us, they convey this kind of idea to us,” Shi Nian said. “But in the wealthy area, I saw many different ideas and different words.”
"I also read a lot of books. That study was huge, it had everything."
The little grass was immediately excited.
She grabbed Shi Nian's hand: "Niannian! What else is there! Tell me quickly!"
