Chapter 269 Dealing with the aftermath
The milk skin pastry is delicious, with the perfect blend of matcha and milk flavor, but it is too dry.
But the kettle was with the old lady, and Shen Lan was embarrassed to take it. He could only stretch his neck and swallow dryly, almost choking with a swan's neck.
When Shen Lan felt she could no longer bear it, a glass of water was handed to her.
Shen Lan's gaze moved from the water cup to the old lady's face.
The fierceness on the old lady's face had completely disappeared, leaving only a face full of kindness.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
Shen Lan awkwardly took the cup of water and thanked him, drinking the water in small sips. This well-behaved little look made the old lady feel soft in her heart.
In the past, Zhao Yue seemed well-behaved, but 50% of this was fake. She was suppressing her arrogance and contempt underneath, which looked awkward.
No matter what happens, he always appears weak in an attempt to gain sympathy.
The old lady actually didn't like this, but Ah Yun had only had this girl by her side since she was a child. Although the old lady was not satisfied, she had no choice.
She also doesn't want her grandson to be single all his life without a lover who understands him and supports him.
Now it's good, Shen Lan appears.
This girl is polite and knows when to advance and when to retreat. She never backs down when faced with difficulties and actively fights for herself. She has a clear mind and speaks in a coherent manner. Hmm... she also has her own way of confronting people, and her words are sharp, which shows that she is a girl with a strong heart.
This is what the mistress of the Xiao family should be like. She shouldn’t just hide behind Ah Yun, but should stand shoulder to shoulder with him and weather the wind and rain.
It's just that the appearance is a little lacking.
The old lady felt a little regretful. She also had a hidden obsession with looks. The reason why she didn't love Mr. Xiao at first but still liked him was largely because he was good-looking.
Although Xiao Ren was a jerk, he was not bad looking. Wu Ping was a famous beauty in the film and television industry, and Xiao Yun had inherited the best qualities of his parents and was extremely handsome.
The old lady also hoped that her great-grandchildren would grow up better than Xiao Yun.
It seems unlikely now.
The old lady sighed slightly in her heart, and then she regained her spirits in just a few seconds.
It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. Something is better than nothing. As long as she can see the shadow of her great-grandson, she will be satisfied and will not ask for more.
The old lady took an orange from the fruit bowl, peeled it and handed it to Shen Lan: "Here, have an orange, this variety is especially delicious."
"Thank you, grandma." Shen Lan smiled at her, took the orange and started eating it. It was juicy, sweet and sour, and really delicious.
The old lady stared at her profile and suddenly let out a low "hiss".
She noticed that Shen Lan's face was particularly smooth, small and delicate, just the size of a palm. Normally, her thick bangs and glasses covered most of her eyes, making it difficult to see them clearly. But now, closer, through the lenses, she could see those beautiful peach blossom eyes.
When Shen Lan smiled just now, her peach blossom eyes curved into crescents, with the corners of her eyes turned upturned, giving off an indescribable charm.
And this delicate little nose, pretty little mouth...
The more the old lady looked at it, the more shocked she became. She put the facial features together in her mind and removed the dark yellow skin. It was a face of a real beauty.
Despite the shocking discovery, the old lady remained calm and collected.
She said that Shen Qiao and Li Yun were such good-looking couple, so their daughter shouldn't be too bad looking either.
Her beautiful great-grandchildren now have a chance!
The two of them fed the other while they ate and talked in low voices. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
Butler Zhao watched from the corner of his eye, his heart sinking to the bottom.
Yueyue has been with the old lady for so many years, but he has never seen the old lady love Yueyue so much.
How come Shen Lan is so good at pleasing others? Could it be that he was specially trained?
"Uncle Zhao."
Xiao Yun's cold voice instantly brought Butler Zhao back to his senses.
He was alert and asked quickly, "Master, what's wrong?"
"Please remember these people." Xiao Yun's eyes lightly passed across his face.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Butler Zhao always felt that the young master looked at him differently.
He couldn't tell exactly what was different, and felt uneasy.
"He, he, and he..."
Xiao Yun stood tall and straight, looking at the group of servants in front of him with a cold gaze, and pointed his slender fingers at the crowd.
His tone and attitude were clearly nonchalant, yet they were incredibly powerful.
The person who was called out turned pale, and a circle of space suddenly appeared around him, making him look like he was isolated.
"All these people should be fired and will never be hired again."
Shen Lan took a special look at the people he pointed out. Some of them were the ones who agreed with Butler Zhao and put the blame of poisoning on her. Others were the ones who looked shaken and reluctant as Master Yu kowtowed and tried to plead for mercy.
It seems that although Xiao Yun didn't say much just now, he was observing the people in the hall.
These eyes are really sharp, and they can immediately pick out those who are wavering.
"Master Yu's family members and relatives will never be hired by any of the Xiao family's companies."
After Xiao Yun said this, he looked at Butler Zhao.
Butler Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Master, I've taken note of it."
Xiao Yun nodded, his eyes still on him.
Butler Zhao suddenly had a bad premonition, and whispered, "Young Master..."
"Uncle Zhao, after you deal with this group of people, you can go home and rest."
