The boss handed the packaged meal to Wang Xiaoxiao, and then, like magic, took out two boxes of exquisitely packaged Chinese desserts and handed them to Song Lan.
Although the thing was handed to Song Lan, his gaze was directed at Wang Xiaoxiao. His smile was less playful and more sincere.
"I heard that girls like to eat desserts when they are in a bad mood."
Wang Xiaoxiao was planning in her mind how to make Liu Mumu come back to her senses. She was distracted and didn't notice the flash of disappointment in the handsome boss's eyes.
Song Lan on the side helped remind Wang Xiaoxiao, "People treat you to dessert, why are you so stunned!"
Wang Xiaoxiao's oval face was somewhat fleshy and looked very cute. She looked at the boss with a puzzled expression in a trance.
The boss smiled and sighed, gently placed his hand on Wang Xiaoxiao's head and patted it gently.
"Everyone has something that they have to go through. Since you can't avoid it, it's better to just let nature take its course and wait until it reaches the bridge."
Wang Xiaoxiao was distracted, and when she heard the boss's last sentence, she became even more confused, "What do you mean by natural straightness? My hair?"
Wang Xiaoxiao's dazed look was really cute. Song Lan couldn't help laughing next to her, "Yes, yes, your hair is straight. Okay, we should go back."
The boss took a step to the side, preparing to watch them leave. Wang Xiaoxiao stopped halfway and looked back at him.
"Boss, I am really the owner of a modeling company. If you are interested, remember to come and try. Our salary is very high."
The boss smiled and nodded towards her, not sure whether he agreed or was just being perfunctory in a friendly way.
Wang Xiaoxiao didn't care, turned around and pulled Song Lan, and hurried to KEO.
As soon as Song Lan and Wang Xiaoxiao stepped into KEO, they saw He Chaozhi with a stinky face, leaning on the small sofa with his eyes closed to relax.
"He Chaozhi, don't you have to work today? You came so early?"
Wang Xiaoxiao sat down on the bench next to him and took the pillow beside He Chaozhi.
He Chaozhi opened his eyes, saw Wang Xiaoxiao, and clicked his tongue in disgust. When he looked at Song Lan again, he was already filled with tenderness and sweetness.
"Stinky couple." Wang Xiaoxiao frowned in disgust.
Song Lan walked to the water dispenser, made hot tea for the two of them, handed one cup to He Chaozhi, and placed another cup in front of Wang Xiaoxiao.
"Has your aunt been in love recently?" He Chaozhi asked for no reason.
Song Lan said "Hey", obviously not understanding what he meant. She paused and then looked at him with a surprised look on her face.
"You're asking me if my aunt is in love?"
How could her aunt, who had been plotting to overthrow the He family for so many years, find the time to fall in love?
"Yes, your aunt bought a villa in the wealthy area in the east of the city. It happened that that guy Gu Yi went back to his father's house last time and loaded up your aunt to buy groceries and go home."
He Chaozhi looked at Song Lan and lightly tapped his fingers on the corners of his lips.
"Do you know how much that villa is worth? She bought it in full."
Song Lan was stunned again. The rich area in the east of the city was filled with people who were either rich or noble in Night City. How could Song Zi afford it with her small salary?
"Have you found out who it is?" Song Lan said.
Who is it? Who is Song Zi in love with? The other party is actually so generous?
He Chaozhi's face was separated by the rising water vapor, and Song Lan couldn't see his expression clearly. After a minute, He Chaozhi said coldly.
"No, this is what surprised me. Song Zi's house came very strangely, as if she suddenly had money to buy it.
I asked someone to check her bank statements and found out that the money was transferred to her from a foreign account, but I continued to check.
We can only find out that the other party is a deceased teacher from country a."
"Dead? He Chaozhi, you are telling ghost stories here!" Wang Xiaoxiao felt a chill on the back of his neck as he listened.
He Chaozhi glanced at her with a mocking look on his face, but Song Lan quickly reacted.
"An account using a fake identity sent a sum of money to my aunt, a huge sum of money enough to buy a villa in a wealthy area?"
Wang Xiaoxiao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by He Chaozhi, and turned around with a cold snort. Hearing Song Lan's explanation, he also clicked his tongue in surprise.
"This person really tried his best to conceal his identity. After doing this, I became very curious about his identity."
He Chaozhi couldn't stand Wang Xiaoxiao's interruption and scolded her coldly, "What does it have to do with you? I'm talking to Lanlan."
Wang Xiaoxiao had experienced the last exchange with Song Lan, and her attitude towards He Chaozhi was a little softer. Seeing that he was starting to yell at others again, she just pursed her lips and said nothing.
Seeing that He Chaozhi was making trouble unreasonably again, Song Lan quickly diverted his attention.
"Why did you suddenly ask about my aunt's personal affairs?" Song Lan was puzzled.
He Chaozhi confessed: "Because your aunt not only bought the villa in full, but also purchased part of the shares of our company two days ago."
A woman who lived on a meager salary suddenly became rich, and the source of the money was unclear, and the other party intentionally purchased shares of the He family company. These actions were unpredictable.
"The He family's shares? She is so rich?" The money must have come from unknown sources. Song Lan was surprised that Song Zi would make such a move.
Did Song Zi win the lottery? Definitely not. He Chaozhidu said that her money came from foreign accounts.
"It's not the shares of the He family, it's the shares of my personal company." He Chaozhi explained.
Song Lan was even more confused now. Did Song Zi want to annex He Chaozhi's company with funds from unknown sources?
Isn’t this too ridiculous?
"So you think this is Song Zi's deliberate plan to target you?" Song Lan couldn't believe it herself.
But He Chaozhi nodded, "There must be someone behind her who is using her and wants to encroach on my territory through her.
I don’t even know how she convinced those shareholders to willingly sell their shares to her.”
Song Lan thought she had heard wrong, so she paused and asked, "Could the person behind Song Zi be your enemy in the mall?"
He Chaozhi still shook his head, "I don't know, all this is too sudden. Since you haven't heard of it, Song Zi will definitely not let the second person know."
Song Zi's actions shocked Song Lan to the point of speechlessness. The aunt she always remembered as crying and aggressive would actually come to the front desk and start a fight with the He family with real swords and guns.
"I'm going to the nursing home tomorrow. When I'm paying my dad, I'm going to see my aunt. Her home is right next to the nursing home."
Since he couldn't find the person behind the scenes, Song Lan decided to explore Song Zi's tone first.
No matter what, she would never let Song Zi threaten He Chaozhi.
"Sister Lanlan, I understand that I will accompany you to the nursing home and then see your aunt." Wang Xiaoxiao took the lead.
But He Chaozhi interrupted her, "I've already had someone put two million into your father's card, which should be enough for the next surgery."
