"My old man always says you're amazing. You took over the board of directors right after you came back. I've been in the company for two years and finally climbed to director. I don't know when I can join the board of directors!"
Shi Tingshan changed into a set of home clothes, took off her makeup, and muttered to herself in front of the mirror.
Lan Xi was wandering around Shi Tingshan's room when she saw a book on her bedside table. Just as she was about to reach out and pick it up, she heard a voice behind her: "Don't move!"
Lan Xi's fingers were already on the cover. When she heard that, she immediately had the urge to play a prank: "What's making you so nervous? Let me see!"
Shi Tingshan watched Lan Xi pick up the book and immediately ran over to grab it nervously.
Seeing that she really ran over to grab it, Lan Xi raised her hand and grabbed her hand with the other hand: "What is it? Tell me the truth!"
"Put it down, put it down!"
Shi Tingshan was not as tall as Lan Xi, so she naturally couldn't reach the book. She hadn't even finished washing her face, with facial cleanser foam still hanging on her face. Her brows were furrowed with a hint of anger.
Lan Xi's heart trembled, and she slowly lowered her hand as her strength increased. Shi Tingshan quickly pulled it out, placed it on the bedside table with a look of heartache on her face, and carefully wiped it clean with two pieces of paper.
Lan Xi had an idea in his mind and stared at her face: "Are you in love?"
Shi Tingshan's face changed, and then her expression became exaggerated as she said:
"What are you talking about! How is it possible? How could I possibly be in love? I'm the eldest daughter of the Shi family, who would be worthy of me?"
Seeing her bluffing and flushed face, Lan Xi's suspicion turned into certainty: "Are you in love? Who?"
Shi Tingshan's expression flickered when she heard Lan Xi's serious tone. She walked towards the bathroom and said, "Don't ask any more questions!"
Lan Xi followed her and watched her wash and dry her face:
"What's going on? You know you're the eldest daughter of the Shi family, so you have to be very careful and investigate the background of everyone around you."
Shi Tingshan glanced at Lan Xi in the mirror and thought she was making a fuss while applying her skincare products. "I've checked, there's nothing wrong. She's the offspring of a wealthy family!"
Massaging her face, Shi Tingshan turned to face Lan Xi, looked her up and down, and asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly so alert?"
Lan Xi showed helplessness, shrugged and bowed, "Isn't it because the Queen didn't marry well that she has to lecture me every day?"
Shi Tingshan sneered and poured the essence into her hands: "Don't come on, your mother hasn't dealt with those little male favorites of yours!"
"You also said he was a male concubine! There is no risk!" Lan Xi showed disapproval on her face. When she mentioned this, she thought of Cheng Chiyan!
"Do you like my brother's face so much?" Shi Tingshan expressed doubts about Lan Xi's aesthetic taste. In her eyes, her brother was not very good-looking.
At first, she also thought that Lan Xi liked her brother, and she just said that she liked that face. Until she saw those somewhat similar faces, coupled with young bodies, she believed it!
Lan Xi recalled Cheng Chiyan's face and said vaguely, "I like it!"
Shi Tingshan waited until the voice became low, then turned her head and found that Lan Xi's expression was not right: "What's with that expression?"
Lan Xi came back to her senses and looked over, her eyes filled with the blood of hunting: "Nothing, I just remembered some interesting people!"
Shi Tingshan curiously pulled her outside and pestered her, "Another target?"
Lan Xi opened the photo album on her phone and handed it over. On it was a photo of Cheng Chiyan that the little girl had sent two days ago.
"This is not... No! They look too much like each other!" When Shi Tingshan saw it for the first time, she thought Lan Xi was using her brother's photo to deceive her.
Later, she discovered that something seemed a little different. She zoomed in and out of the picture, carefully examining it inch by inch, and exclaimed in amazement: "Could this be the child of our Shi family?"
Lan Xi glanced at her sideways: "Do you think I won't check it down there? As soon as I checked the blood type, I knew it was irrelevant!"
"Miss, Mr. Shi asked you to come down for dinner!" At the corner of the second floor, the two met Zhu Lingling who came up to call them for dinner.
Shi Tingshan actually doesn't like Zhu Lingling very much. She thinks she is a bit pretentious and indecisive.
So she just nodded without saying anything and pulled Lan Xi downstairs.
Zhu Lingling knew everything in her heart. She followed behind without saying anything else.
"Xixi, come here and sit next to me!" As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, the old man waved Lan Xi over and patted the chair beside him.
Mr. and Mrs. Shi went out to travel these two days, so they were not there for dinner this time. Lan Xi did not refuse.
Since there are no elders other than Mr. Shi, where she sits depends on what this only elder thinks!
Shi Tingshan followed behind, silently repeating her grandfather's words in a sarcastic tone. When she saw Lan Xi sit down, she wanted to sit down too.
"Go over there and sit next to your brother!" The old man pointed to the seat opposite Lan Xi, next to where his grandson was sitting, and asked Shi Tingshan to go over.
Then he lovingly said to Zhu Lingling, who was playing dumb, "Lingling! Sit next to your mistress!"
Zhu Lingling quickly waved her hands to refuse, and then she heard Lan Xi's voice: "Grandpa Shi asked you to sit down, so sit down!"
When she met the lady's eyes, she immediately walked over and sat down obediently!
"Lingling always listens to you the most!" Shi Tingshan looked at Zhu Lingling, who would one day be sitting opposite her. She twisted her hands on her legs and spoke with gritted teeth.
A hand patted the back of her hand. Shi Tingshan looked up and met her brother's gaze. He didn't say anything, but just looked at her steadily.
"Okay, let's eat!" Mr. Shi didn't say anything in the end. After all, she was his granddaughter.
