Han Lan's makeup was heavy, and there was red liquid on the corner of her mouth.
The assistant only noticed that the black pupils in her eyes seemed to have gotten a little bigger these past few days.
"Apologize, yes! I should go apologize to Xiao Yuan!" Han Lan seemed to have figured something out, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
The assistant was speechless. Apologize to Xiao Yuan? He'd be lucky not to get beaten up.
However, she dared not say this aloud, and immediately nodded in agreement when Han Lan looked over.
The two set off at 3 a.m. The assistant really didn't want to go, but seeing Han Lan's excited expression, he didn't dare to say it.
The next day, Han Lan's plane landed just as dawn broke, but she didn't go directly to Xiao Yuan's house; instead, she went to the Bai family's house first.
In her haste, the assistant came up with an excuse, saying that she needed to find a place for the two of them to stay and that she should be mindful of their privacy. Han Lan nodded in agreement and let her leave first.
Standing at the entrance of the Bai family's residence, Han Lan looked her up and down carefully until the gatekeeper asked her who she was looking for.
"I'm looking for Bai Qingzhi." Han Lan composed himself upon hearing the question, and politely replied with a fixed smile.
The doorman frowned. He had met all of Miss's friends, but this woman was not among them.
Besides, it's so early in the morning, before anyone's even up. What kind of good person would come to visit at this hour?
What's more, she hadn't made an appointment in advance.
However, since they were looking for a prostitute, the doorman naturally wouldn't neglect them. He politely said, "Please wait a moment," and then made a phone call to the person inside.
Bai Qinghuai had already gotten up and was jogging indoors when he heard the servant's report and curiously glanced at the surveillance camera.
He knew Han Lan, but he had a very bad impression of him. In addition, he had noticed the scratch on Qing Zhi's hand yesterday, and after asking her about it, he learned that it was Han Lan who did it.
So when Bai Qinghuai saw that the person outside was Han Lan, his first instinct was to kick him out.
But his upbringing wouldn't allow him to do that, and Bai Qinghuai eventually let the gatekeeper in.
As Han Lan walked, she looked at the scenery around the villa, nodding in satisfaction from time to time. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was there to buy a house.
The servant leading the way inwardly grumbled, but maintained a smile on his face.
When Han Lan came in, she saw Bai Qinghuai sitting on the sofa, dressed in a suit and tie, clearly on his way to work.
Her hair was still slightly damp, probably from washing it after her morning workout.
Bai Qinghuai, on the other hand, stared at Han Lan. From the very first second she walked in, he felt he didn't like this woman.
She even had a hint of arrogance on her face, as if she were the one who owned the place.
And that feigned elegance made Bai Qinghuai even more displeased.
However, politeness must be observed. Bai Qinghuai had tea served and then inquired about Han Lan's purpose in coming.
"I accidentally hurt Miss Bai yesterday, so I came here today to apologize." Han Lan smiled after saying this.
"Qingzhi didn't mention this when she got home, but I'm very curious, why did Miss Han hurt my sister?" Bai Qinghuai leaned back a little, no longer in a hurry to go to work.
Han Lan's smile froze for a moment, but it vanished in an instant.
"There are some minor conflicts," Han Lan said, without going into details.
"Oh? Why don't you elaborate?" Bai Qinghuai didn't intend to give up immediately, and continued to ask with a smile on his face.
Han Lan shut her mouth, feeling angry but unable to vent it.
"Did Qingzhi do something to upset Miss Han, or did Miss Han suddenly go crazy for no reason?" Bai Qinghuai's smile deepened.
Then he saw Han Lan's fist clench slightly at his side.
"Yes, it was my fault, so may I apologize to Miss Bai in person?" Han Lan asked, taking a deep breath.
Bai Qinghuai had seen the other party's patience, but instead of feeling satisfied, he became somewhat wary.
He spoke so sarcastically to Han Lan, yet he showed no anger whatsoever. This seemed very abnormal.
This is not an emotion a normal person should have.
"Qingzhi hasn't gotten up yet, Miss Han, please come another day." Bai Qinghuai said, then stood up to see the guest out.
But Han Lan showed no intention of leaving.
"You go ahead with your work, I'll wait here for Qingzhi to get up," Han Lan said with a smile, declining the offer.
After saying that, she picked up the tea that the maid had just brought over and took a sip. Looking at her, Bai Qinghuai felt that the strange feeling in his heart had become even more intense.
Han Lan was far too calm, as if this were her home.
Bai Qinghuai was certain that he did not have a younger sister who had been separated from him, so Han Lan's actions further illustrated this point.
She must have something on her mind.
"Miss Han, can't you really understand what I mean?" Bai Qinghuai decided to disregard politeness and asked directly.
By this time, Han Lan had gotten used to Bai Qinghuai's way of speaking, and her expression became calmer.
“Of course I understand, but I think it’s better to express my apology in person, as it shows more sincerity.”
Just as the two were talking, they heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
It's Bai Qingyu.
"Why are you here? What? You've even followed me to my house to scratch my sister?" Bai Qingyu didn't have much manners and directly mocked Han Lan when she saw him.
Bai Qinghuai didn't speak, but it was clear that he thought the same thing.
Han Lan could tolerate Bai Qinghuai's sarcastic remarks, since she could just pretend she didn't understand them. But Bai Qingyu's blatant sarcasm was really embarrassing for her.
His smile was stiff, and his fingernails dug into his palms.
Bai Qingyu's voice was loud enough to be heard clearly throughout the entire villa, and Han Lan could feel the disdainful looks from the surrounding servants.
Anger surged within Han Lan, and she felt a metallic taste in her throat.
He was clearly so angry he was about to vomit blood.
Because Bai Qingyu's voice was too loud, Bai Qingzhi could faintly hear it even in her sleep. She opened her eyes groggily, as if she was still dreaming.
He got out of bed, opened the door a crack, and then pressed his ear against it.
Yes, it really is Third Brother's voice.
With disheveled hair and unsteady steps, he walked down the stairs and immediately saw Han Lan standing opposite his third brother, receiving his sarcastic remarks.
His brows furrowed immediately. Could this woman really be mentally ill?
Upon seeing Bai Qingzhi, Han Lan's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran towards her.
Bai Qingyu reacted quickly and grabbed her back, then stood guard in front of Bai Qingzhi.
"I'm here today to apologize, Qingzhi. I'm sorry, it was my fault yesterday," Han Lan said earnestly, standing opposite Bai Qingyu.
Bai Qingzhi looked at her suspiciously, then spoke decisively:
"I don't blame you, you can go now."
Just kidding, she's getting stronger and stronger about the idea that Han Lan has mental problems.
As soon as she finished speaking, Han Lan stretched out her hand, and Bai Qingzhi immediately saw that there was also a wound on the back of her hand.
