Sitting on the shuttle bus, Shi Tinghan looked at Lan Xi, and Lan Xi looked out the window.
"Don't bother with her, Shanshan is quick-witted!" Shi Tinghan said to Lan Xi in a complicated tone.
Lan Xi looked at him with a look of surprise on her face: "What are you talking about?"
Shi Tinghan knew that Lan Xi had rejected him, and he felt a headache for a moment: "Anyway, I apologize to you on her behalf!"
"Brother Shi has time to apologize to me on her behalf, but you might as well check who your sister has been hanging out with recently. Be careful that someone has stolen your back!"
Lan Xi had a mysterious look on her face, and what she said left Shi Tinghan confused.
He frowned: "What happened to Shanshan? What did you know?"
Lan Xi moved to the side and said, "I didn't say that. Go check it yourself!"
At this point, the shuttle bus arrived at the door. Lan Xi got off the bus. Zhu Lingling had already parked her car not far away.
"Lan Xi!" Shi Tinghan called her.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, falling on Lan Xi's hair and unable to melt for a long time. Under the night sky, Lan Xi turned around in her coat, and the exposed hem of her skirt caused slight ripples.
Under the street light, Lan Xi looked at Shi Tinghan with a questioning expression!
"Be careful when you go back!" Shi Tinghan didn't say anything, just reminded.
The woman smiled brightly, waved at him as she stepped back, then turned and got into the car.
Shi Tinghan watched the car disappear into the distance before entering the gate!
In the study, Mr. Shi sat at the tea table, and Shi Tingshan sat opposite him, both of them silent.
When Shi Tinghan returned home, the housekeeper told him that his grandfather was waiting for him in the study.
Boom boom boom!
I knocked on the door and saw Shi Tinghan waiting there.
Shi Tingshan inside heard the knock on the door, and her nervous heartbeat finally relaxed a little: "Grandpa, I'll go open the door!"
She stood up and looked at Mr. Shi's expression carefully.
The old man made tea without saying anything.
She hurried to the door, opened it, and met her brother's eyes.
Two people walked in one after the other and sat down.
"Do you know where the biggest problem today lies?" Mr. Shi poured tea for the two of them and asked in a flat tone.
Shi Tingshan reached out and tugged at her brother's sleeve as if asking for help. She didn't dare to speak.
"Grandpa..." Shi Tinghan just opened his mouth to speak.
"Shanshan, speak first!" Old Master Shi interrupted him directly, raised his eyelids and glanced at Shi Tingshan.
"I... I said the wrong thing at the dinner table!" Shi Tingshan's voice was trembling. She already knew where her problem lay, starting from when her brother picked up some food for Lan Xi.
The old man drank his tea silently without expressing any opinion.
Shi Tingshan twisted her clothes, feeling anxious!
Shi Tinghan knew that the situation couldn't continue like this, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Lan Xi has changed so much!"
The old man nodded. Judging from today's situation, Lan Xi has changed a lot. Compared to three years ago, she is more mature and reserved. He looked at Shi Tinghan and asked, "Tell me about your discovery?"
Shi Tinghan put down his teacup and pondered for a long time: "My people have been investigating since they came back from Lanxi, and so far... the results are not good!"
Shi Tingshan opened her mouth in surprise: "Can't find out? How could that be? Didn't she go abroad to study?"
Old Master Shi looked up at Shi Tingshan, who shrank her neck because of his gaze and didn't dare to look him in the eye!
"The environment she lives in is quite mixed. Aside from the matter of studying abroad, it seems someone is deliberately covering up everything else for her! That's why we haven't found much!"
Shi Tinghan walked to the desk and pulled out a folder: "This is all the information about Lan Xi abroad!"
Mr. Shi waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to look. He had a plan in mind: "Go check what other activities she has participated in!"
Shi Tinghan shook his head, his face gloomy. After he sat down, he said, "I've asked someone to check, and there's no trace or record at all!"
Shi Tingshan looked at the two of them in disbelief. They were talking about Lan Xi? And that famous playboy?
"It's been so long, and you haven't taken the Lan family's marriage proposal to heart at all..." Old Master Shi felt bitter when he thought of Lan Xi's refusal to marry into the Shi family.
Lan Xi, he really likes her!
"Grandpa, it's impossible for us. Even if I am willing, Lan Xi won't be willing. Don't struggle. Lan Xi and I have talked about this topic many times!"
Shi Tinghan directly interrupted his grandfather. This was the first time such a thing happened!
Shi Tingshan nodded in agreement.
"Don't let this happen again, or you will be suspended and re-evaluated!" The old man changed the subject and warned his granddaughter.
Seeing the fire burning herself, Shi Tingshan's first reaction was dissatisfaction: "Why, Grandpa, why is that Zhu Lingling allowed to eat at the table and sit across from me! She's just a servant!"
Mr. Shi's eyes became more serious, and Shi Tingshan's voice became smaller and smaller until she closed her mouth:
"The Zhu Lingling you see is just Lan Xi's little attendant and babysitter every day, but do you know what Zhu Lingling studied?"
"Do you think that during Lan Xi's years abroad, Zhu Lingling just accompanied her in a life of debauchery?"
Shi Tingshan was about to speak when she saw Zhu Lingling's information appear in front of her: "Highest degree: Master of Finance, Ivy League?"
She looked up in surprise: "This... Why does she still waste her time with Lan Xi when she is so capable!"
"Hmph! Ignorance! You are the only one who sees the wasted time! Come on, get out! Go by yourself if you want!" The old man stood up and walked to the desk, picked up a book and started flipping through it, ignoring the two of them!
Shi Tingshan wanted to ask more questions when she heard her brother cough lightly beside her, and then she was pulled out of the study.
