The moment he left the compound, he dialed his secretary's number again. It was a rich, sexy bass voice.
"Empty the house nearest her. If there are residents, just ask them to ask for the price. "
"Yes, do not delay it. Deal with it by today."
The next morning, as the gauzy sunlight covered the land with warmth, the entire city gradually woke up.
Shen Xiran had rested too late last night, so today he directly slept until he woke up naturally. When he woke up, he felt that his entire body had become much more comfortable.
He covered his mouth with his hand and yawned elegantly. The phone beside his pillow rang.
"After knowing each other for so many years, I naturally know your habits." Shangguan Zhe gave a rare chuckle, "Last night, you agreed to accompany me to the customers' table today. How about it?
Shen Xiran looked at the clock on the wall lazily. It was already 10: 30 in the morning. Only then did he remember his promise from last night, "No problem, I'll see you in an hour."
The two of them made an arrangement to meet downstairs. Shen Xiran waited for the other party to hang up, then casually threw his phone on the soft bed and started to wash up.
She took her slippers to the bathroom to take a bath, and the mirror reflected her snow-white body.
Shen Xiran habitually turned around to look at his back. At the back of his waist, a hideous scar snaked downwards, ruthlessly cutting through his smooth skin and extending to his buttocks.
The scenes from that year flashed through his mind one by one. The cold anesthetic, the white light, and the dull feeling of the scalpel slashing through his body.
She gently closed her eyes.
Under the terrible scar, one of her kidneys was gone.
The warm water opened and mist rose up. Very soon, the human figure in the mirror became unclear.
Shen Xiran pursed his lips, the ball slowly brushed past his body. At the same time, his heart gradually became firm and cold from seeing Si Lianye's anger and nervousness at first glance.
She would no longer avoid him.
If he didn't enter the tiger's den, he wouldn't get the tiger. This was the 'parting gift' Si Lianye had given her … How could he not retaliate?
After finishing the shower and getting dressed, Shen Xiran made a face in the mirror. A pair of long eyelashes were drawn, and a pair of phoenix eyes appeared even more enchanting.
After changing into a bag and high heels that matched her clothes, she took a final look at herself in the mirror before leisurely heading downstairs.
Shangguan Zhe's Maybach was already waiting downstairs. He was dressed in a white suit with tassels of gold and brown on the pockets, and a tie-pin glinting with metal made him seem even more ethereal.
Now, as he watched her go downstairs, his eyes filled with a dark surge of emotion, he politely averted his eyes as she approached and opened the door for her. "You're punctual."
Shen Xiran smiled sweetly and lowered his body to sit inside, "We are."
In the downtown music restaurant, a foreign young lady is playing a piano piece flexibly. The magnificent dome was decorated with glittering crystal lights. The interior of the hall was decorated in a high-end style.
"Yes." Shangguan Zhe gave his surname and table number, the receptionist politely pointed in a direction and led the two of them away.
Shen Xiran followed gracefully, holding his arm and observing the surroundings from time to time.
It was indeed a rare place, graceful and quiet, very suitable for business negotiations.
Shen Xiran silently nodded his head, but out of the corner of his eyes, he inadvertently caught sight of a familiar figure.
What a coincidence, he was also here?
Si Lianye and a few other kids were sitting by the table, waiting for the dishes to arrive. Hearing the guide leading the way, they inadvertently raised their heads to look, but didn't expect to see the woman whom he guarded the whole night.
Her eyes drifted down, catching a glimpse of the way she was holding someone else's arm, and a black flame flared in the depths of her eyes.
The goblet that was tightly held in Si Lianye's hand was set aside. She suddenly stood up, walked to the front of the two of them, and extended her hand out to Shen Xiran.
"What a coincidence. It's only been a few hours since we've parted, and now we meet again. "
His voice was not soft. After all, they were all handsome men and beautiful women. For a moment, many people looked in their direction, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
The customer who was treating today was just beside them, and did not want to attract the other party's attention by making too much of a fuss, so Shen Xiran had no choice but to take his hand out from Shangguan Zhe's arm and hold Si Lianye, "Indeed, it is my greatest pleasure."
As soon as the dragonfly touched the water, she retreated before he could grasp her.
Shen Xiran raised his eyes and indicated his direction, "Division has had a good time, we still have things to take care of, let's not keep you company."
Once she finished, she walked shoulder to shoulder with Shangguan Zhe towards the square table that the customer was already waiting for. Only this time, due to Si Lianye's destruction, he did not walk forward with his arms crossed.
A satisfied smile appeared in Si Lianye's eyes as she turned around and walked back to her seat.
The meal went on without a hush. Si Lianye's gaze would occasionally land on the table not far away and as she watched them chat jokingly, she inadvertently took a sip of the red wine.
Even the normal jovial kids noticed his unusual behavior today and restrained their noisy behavior.
There must be something between that woman and Si Lianye.
The small fries suppressed their curiosity and worked hard to eat their meal to the point where they needed twice as much time as usual, hoping that Si Lianye would take the initiative to say something. However, Si Lianye gracefully put down the wine cup, inadvertently glancing at everyone and spoke casually: "Have you finished eating? Someone who is familiar with Shangguan Zhe should go and help that table settle their debts. I'll double the amount. "
Double?
Double the price of this restaurant, that would be a big deal.
Although the children were all rich, who wouldn't want to fight for this prize? Furthermore, they were all positive because they wanted to help Si Lianye obtain the return of the beauty.
But unfortunately, after they asked each other, none of them had any relationship with Shangguan Zhe.
Although Shangguan Zhe was the patriarch of the Shangguan Family, he was cold and aloof, and rarely interacted with other people, so his friends were even rarer.
After discussing for a while, one of them, called Lin Zixuan, used his hand to pinch his chin and said, "I don't know Shangguan Zhe, but I do know the customer that is treating them to a meal, I wonder if that will work?"
Si Lianye placed one hand on her knees, and with the other hand, she drummed on the table, lifting her eyelids to look at the customer, she nodded her head in agreement.
Shen Xiran's meal was nearing its end, but unexpectedly, a person walked over with a bill and directly handed it over to the customer. He intimately put his arm around Yue Yang's shoulders, "Boss Fang, your table has already settled the bill for you.
"Zi Xuan?" CEO Fang was clearly a bit surprised. However, the relationship between the two of them seemed to be quite good, so he didn't decline and just politely said, "How can I accept this?"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Lin Zixuan pointed to Shen Xiran with a grin, "If you want to thank her, thank her. You have invited a great benefactor today after all."
"Miss Shen? What happened to her? " Director Fang was at a loss.
Lin Zixuan tilted his head, opening up a path for them, "When our Division sees that she is betting on something, help her settle the bill, you, just take it as you got away with it."
