Chapter 606: 606 something weird
It turned out that Shi Lan’s concern was somewhat redundant. Yan Shi had already stated to let nature take its course, so he wouldn’t use such an opportunity to go public. He didn’t deserve a public acknowledgement, did he?
“You go shower, I’ll give that woman a call and give her a few instructions.”
“Mm, I’ll wait for you.” Yan Shixiu put down his coat and went to the bathroom.
Now with the housekeeper both inside and out, Mrs. Shi should be clear about the happenings surrounding the Shi family. As long as she doesn’t go out and create trouble, she shouldn’t attract the attention of the Shi family. However, Shi Lan would not be stingy with what should be said.
When Mrs. Shi answered the phone, she was opening a bottle of wine, trying to match the theme of being dead drunk, and she needed to take some photos so the housekeeper had something to report.
“I know you are going to attend the event. I will also properly study the old shareholders’ information in the other courtyard,” Mrs. Shi assured, “Oh, why is this wine opening so easily tonight?”
“I ordered a batch of red wine, wasn’t it for show? So I had it delivered to take some material,” Mrs. Shi explained while wedging the phone between her ear and shoulder, simultaneously opening the wine.
“Since it’s for taking material, drink less,” Shi Lan instructed, then hung up the phone.
Afterward, she contacted Mrs. Shi’s bodyguard: “All ingredients coming in from outside, including liquor and cigarettes, must be checked.”
Now that Mrs. Shi had moved out of the Shi family, and the power within the family was in their hands, if Mrs. Shi were to disappear without anyone noticing, there would be no one left in the entire Shi family to oppose them. This thought had indeed crossed the Shi family’s minds.
Therefore, Shi Lan had to take precautions.
The next day, the cold wind was biting.
Although spring had already arrived, Shi Lan was still very cold-sensitive, so she was still bundled up thickly, largely indifferent to fashion and appearance.
But being young and having a good foundation, even if she wore a burlap sack, her unrecognizable stride would still reveal her celebrity charisma.
By that time, Yan Shi had put on a black uniform and, with a hat and mask in place, he looked quite indistinguishable from Huo Zhao.
The two of them left the house, while on the other side, Sun Ling picked up some documents from Peak. They would meet halfway.
With the boss attending the event, Dr. Sun’s mood was visibly joyful, humming a tune as he left Peak.
Once Sun Ling, the broker, put on his sunglasses, he drove straight away from the front of Peak, caring for no one.
Therefore, he didn’t notice Gu Zheng coming to deliver an apology.
As Gu Zheng parked, he saw Sun Ling pulling the door shut on his car, entirely too elated, showing none of the expected heartbroken demeanor.
Once Sun Ling’s sedan had departed, Gu Zheng, holding the gift, entered Peak, intending to ask the receptionist but before he could, the gossipy receptionist instantly recognized him and said, “Handsome, looking for Sister Sun Ling? She just left, on a business trip.”
“She’s not in a bad mood, is she?”
“Why should she be in a bad mood?” the adorably puzzled receptionist asked Gu Zheng, “Sister Sun Ling has been in a great mood from yesterday till today, especially today, extremely cheerful.”
“Handsome, you might as well call Sister Sun Ling,” the receptionist suggested.
“No, wait for her to return, could you please give her this, and then convey these three words for me,” Gu Zheng placed the gift on the reception desk.
Being a jerk himself, apologizing was necessary.
However, Gu Zheng felt something was off…
