The daughter of a general is so cool in the novel about a wealthy family
Chapter 169: Being arrogant due to favor
He had to go out for an hour or two every day to find something to eat, especially the sour fruits that were particularly difficult to swallow. But even so, Liu Lan would still give him the only edible fruit.
When she fainted, he realized that Liu Lan had not eaten for several days.
Thinking of this, Shi Xiao closed his eyes and smiled gently, "I don't like sweets, but I'm hungry now."
He broke the cake in half, ate a large piece in one bite, and then pushed the cake in front of Liu Lan. "I'm done. Thank you for being so considerate of me."
After Liu Lan looked at the half-eaten cake, she gently picked up the tray and said, "Of course I understand you. If everything is fine, I'll leave first. If there is anything, call me."
It was not until he saw her leave that Shi Xiao felt like a burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He didn't know when it started, but he suddenly felt a little impatient talking to Liu Lan alone. He always felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know why he had this feeling.
At this time, Liu Lan, who had just come out of the office, was walking out with a plate of cake in her hand with satisfaction. When she saw Yuan Shu who had just come out of the elevator, she could not hide her pride in her eyes.
Just as Zhao Cheng was about to report to Shi Xiao, he saw Liu Lan bringing out the cake. He said in shock, "Mr. Shi ate cake? He hates Black Forest cake the most."
His voice was hoarse and loud, and although he thought he was whispering, the employees nearby heard it and pricked up their ears to listen to the boss's gossip.
"Yes, he didn't like Black Forest cake before, but people's tastes change, and so do the things they like." Liu Lan's voice was very gentle, and she glanced in the direction Yuan Shu was coming to make sure Yuan Shu could hear her.
"But he still didn't like the candy very much because he left half for me. It wouldn't be nice to waste it."
After that, she picked up the fork that Shi Xiao had just used, gently picked up a small piece of cake and put it into her mouth, then chewed it carefully, "It's so sweet, I like sweets, I believe he will like it in the future too."
Zhao Cheng was such a simple-minded man that he naturally had no idea what she was hinting at. He just thought that the girl liked to eat sweets, especially after being trafficked to Africa and suffering for so many years.
But colleagues were all shocked. Not only could Liu Lan come in and out of the boss's office at will, but she also shared a piece of cake with the boss. What kind of relationship was this? Now everyone was more certain of their previous thoughts. Sure enough, Liu Lan was the future boss's wife.
Although Yuan Shu heard her words, he didn't care at all. Instead, he asked politely, "Ms. Liu, is Mr. Shi free now?"
"He didn't eat lunch, just ate some cake, and is resting now." The provocation in Liu Lan's eyes was hidden very well, but Yuan Shu still saw it.
Zhao Cheng scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Then why did he ask me to come up immediately? Mr. Shi just called me."
Zhao Cheng really didn't understand what was wrong with him. Why did he need to rest? Why did he let Zhao Cheng come up? If he didn't want to rest, why did Miss Liu come?
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Liu Lan's face, and then she said softly, "He did have something to discuss with you, and he went to rest after seeing you. Shi Xiao has been too busy at work recently and didn't even have time for a lunch break. Miss Yuan, if you don't have anything urgent, why don't you come back later?"
Except for Zhao Cheng, everyone else understood what she meant, let alone Yuan Shu. She didn't want to conflict with Liu Lan in the company, and she and Shi Xiao divorced peacefully, so there was really nothing to argue about.
So, she nodded, handed the document to Zhao Cheng, and said, "Give it to Mr. Shi. I'm fine too. I'll go back first."
Liu Lan glanced at the words on the folder and took the file from Zhao Cheng. "This is not an important document. You and Shi Xiao should handle your own affairs first. I will give this document to him later."
Zhao Cheng had a bewildered look on his face, his hands still hanging in the air.
Liu Lan said coquettishly: "Brother Zhao, Shi Xiao is too tired. Let him rest for a while after the chat. Don't let him read unimportant documents anymore, okay?"
Every time she coaxed him like this, Zhao Cheng felt helpless and could only nod stiffly and knock on Shi Xiao's office door.
Liu Lan saw Zhao Cheng enter the office, and while no one was paying attention, she threw the cake into the trash can. In order to maintain her current figure, she seldom eats sweets, which will ruin her skin and figure. She had never eaten a bite of Black Forest before, just because she wanted to be Qiyuanshu.
Although Yuan Shu seemed to be indifferent on the surface, Liu Lan was sure that she must be angry in her heart. This marriage was obtained by Yuan Shu through despicable means and was what Yuan Shu had always dreamed of. How could Yuan Shu be willing to get divorced like this?
Liu Lan looked at the document in her hand, which happened to be a proposal for a new video website. She curled the corners of her lips and took the proposal back to her desk.
After finally sorting out the details of the handover, Yuan Shu began to plan how to leave the Shi Group.
It seemed as if all the characters in the original novel had appeared one by one. Even if the plot was slightly changed, what was to come would come. There had to be a plan. At least she didn't want to die like the original body.
Yuan Shu suddenly felt powerless. Ever since she was dragged into this world, it seemed that everything had changed because of her appearance, but it also seemed that nothing had changed. At least most things would still develop according to the story in the book, such as the appearance of Liu Lan and her divorce from Shi Xiao.
In order to prevent Liu Lan from tampering with her work, Yuan Shu checked her work several times, especially the technical work involving company secrets. She felt relieved only after confirming that it had not passed through Liu Lan's hands.
After packing up his things, Yuan Shu was about to leave the office when he saw Shi Xiao and Liu Lan walking out one after another.
"Shi Xiao, where are you taking me to dinner today? Why are you so mysterious?" Liu Lan asked with a look of longing.
Although her voice was not loud, what she said was very clear. Not only Yuan Shu, but also her colleagues around her could hear it.
Colleagues exchanged glances with each other. If she wasn't the future boss's wife, how could she be so close to Mr. Shi?
Shi Xiao stared at Yuan Shu, and seeing that she didn't seem to mind at all, he felt unhappy, and then said coldly: "If it's a surprise, you will know when you get there."
He walked quickly to Yuan Shu and said in a stiff tone: "You don't have any plans tonight, right? Let's go eat together. Haven't you been to the Sky Restaurant? I've booked a private room."
Judging from his tone, it didn't sound like a question at all, but more like an order, and his eyes were narrowed fiercely, as if he would pounce on Yuan Shu if he didn't agree.
Yuan Shu was startled by his gaze. If she hadn't experienced this before on the battlefield, she would have taken a step back in fear.
She didn't understand why Shi Xiao suddenly became so angry, but she didn't say anything, just looked at him calmly. Shi Xiao didn't back down either, staring at her, waiting for her to agree.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two, Liu Lan took a step forward and gently pulled Shi Xiao's sleeve. Shi Xiao frowned and pushed her away.
Liu Lan looked a little embarrassed, but she still stretched out her hand. However, she immediately smiled and said to Yuan Shu, "Miss Yuan, why don't we go together? It's dinner time, and it's just the two of us. It will be more lively if you come." She turned around and asked Shi Xiao, "Really?"
Shi Xiao kept frowning, but his eyes were always on Yuan Shu's face. This woman had just divorced him, and she wanted to draw a line so soon?
How could Yuan Shu, who was well aware of the disputes among the women in the palace, not understand what Liu Lan meant?
This was a private dinner for the two of them, and she really shouldn't have attended. Moreover, according to the plot in the book, if she got involved, she would probably die miserably.
