Only Sailan knows the true face of the long-term depression beneath this calmness.
She smiled and promised: "You still have grandchildren after I die, so you don't have to worry about me, I will use my remaining energy to the best of my ability."
The old man sat back and elegantly picked up the tea cup and tasted the new tea sent from Northern Europe this year. The Earl's tea plantation with a century-old tea tree only produced a little tea, and all of it was sent to him.
Like all tea-loving nobles, he indulged in the new tea leaves he got. Only Sailan understood what he meant from this graceful silence.
She calmly cleaned up the marks on her face, turned around and left the meeting room.
…
"go home!"
Sailan took off her smile only after getting in the car, revealing the bruises on the side of her face where her fragile neck was.
Wait until you return to the mansion.
Shadow has been waiting in the flower room for a long time. When he saw Sai Lan coming back, he kept his head down the whole time without daring to look, so he didn't know what Sai Lan's hanging hair covered.
He followed the woman to report the news outside.
“…Qiao Nian and Mu Qingtian reached a cooperation, she appeared in the hospital operating room, and our people were caught by her.”
“There is another thing that is puzzling.”
“…the hospital is on fire.”
"Mu Qingtian sealed the hospital very tightly. I always felt it was a scam, so I didn't let anyone sneak in. I only saw the fire truck passing by. It took another hour to put out the fire. Before you came back, I got The latest news is that Mo Di has taken off on the private plane arranged by Mu Qingtian... Our mission has failed. "I'm afraid Qiao Nian and Mu Qingtian won't fight."
Salan has turned her back to him since she came back. She picked up the scissors on the tray and trimmed the clusters of flowers in the flower room that were in bloom.
He said his, she trimmed hers.
After the shadow finished telling the belated news, she put down the scissors, dipped her white hands into the mountain spring water nearby and soaked them for a while, then stood still and let the maid gently wipe the remaining water stains on her hands with silk...
Shadow was used to her ruthless and luxurious life and had no reaction to this scene, quietly waiting for Sailan to give him instructions.
After Sailan finished applying the ointment on her hands, she finally took a look at him and replied in a neutral tone: "Yes, because Mu Qingtian is eyeing me."
"…"What's the meaning?
Shadow raised his head keenly to take a look at her face, and met the woman's fierce gaze beneath her elegant appearance. It was like a giant crocodile that had been dormant and waiting for a long time, coldly waiting for him to make a mistake, so that he could open his mouth and bite off his head... Shadow had no reason. I shivered, and the coldness spread from the soles of my feet to my back. I quickly looked away, not daring to look up again.
Sa Lan saw him lower his head quickly and knew that his attitude just now was enough to deter him from playing tricks for a while.
He slowly said: "I will be in retreat for a month soon."
Shadow was surprised: "At this time?"
Sai Lan suppressed him with a serious gaze and did not dare to look up. Seeing that he was still holding his head against his head for a long time, the woman said slowly: "I want to do a beauty treatment. I don't want to see customers until my face recovers. You are the same." You can contact me and I will contact you through other means.”
“Yes.” Shadow has been with Nie Qingru for many years and knows very well the wide variety of beauty treatments that women like, so he does not doubt what Sai Lan said.
"During my retreat, find someone to keep an eye on Qiao Nian. It's best not to let her out of our sight. I want to know where she is and what she is doing at any time." (End of Chapter)
