Chapter 123 Shen Lan, Enough
Chapter 123 Shen Lan, Enough
With Xiao Yun's words, Zhao Yue instantly became energetic, with uncontrollable joy on her face and the smile at the corner of her mouth that she couldn't suppress.
At this time, she stopped being stubborn and walked up to Shen Lan obediently, bowing her head and apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm too narrow-minded. I was wrong. I apologize to you."
Although she bowed her head to apologize, anyone could sense that she was very proud.
Between Shen Lan and her, Xiao Yun sided with her.
Even though he knew she was wrong, he still helped her!
Shen Lan seemed not to hear her apology and looked at Xiao Yun with a blank expression. The sunlight shone through her, casting a slender shadow on the wall, thin and lonely.
It was as if she was the only one left in the world.
Zhao Yue lowered her head and didn't hear Shen Lan's voice for a long time. She looked at Xiao Yun with fragile and helpless eyes.
Xiao Yun didn't look at her, but stared at Shen Lan.
The big glasses blocked Shen Lan's eyes, making it impossible to see her expression. Xiao Yun felt a little confused and raised his hand to press on her head, covering her eyebrows and eyes tightly with his big hand.
In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, "Be good and listen."
Shen Lan lowered her eyes, brushed his hand away, and curled the corners of her mouth.
After several times, she still hadn't learned her lesson, and Xiao Yun once again shattered her self-righteousness.
Seeing that both of them ignored her, Zhao Yue made up her mind and knelt down with a plop.
"Miss Shen, I really know I was wrong. I kneel down and kowtow to you..."
As she spoke, she actually started to kowtow to Shen Lan, completely disregarding her dignity.
But after only two kowtows, her body began to shake. Butler Zhao was heartbroken and couldn't help but growl at Shen Lan: "Miss Shen, my daughter apologized and kowtowed. Are you satisfied?"
Not satisfied, not satisfied at all.
She didn't want Zhao Yue to kowtow, nor did she want her to apologize because Zhao Yue was not sincere.
She just didn't want to forgive, but they all forced her to forgive.
Zhao Yue was also a good actor. She leaned against her father, her face pale as she cried out, "I won't get up unless Miss Shen forgives me. I was the one who did the wrong thing first, and this is my punishment."
"Shen Lan, that's enough. You've let out your anger, and let's end it here. There are some things I don't want to say a second time."
Xiao Yun's voice was cold, his brows were furrowed, and he looked irritable.
Shen Lan pressed his chest with his fist to suppress his surging emotions. His face turned pale and his eyes turned red.
She smiled and said, "Boss Xiao has spoken, of course I forgive her. This matter ends here, I don't care about it anymore."
Zhao Yue was helped up by Butler Zhao. She swayed a little before she could stand steadily. Xiao Yun happened to be beside her and reached out to help her.
Shen Lan looked at his arm, his gaze fixed slightly, and then he lowered his eyes for a moment.
"Mr. Xiao, can I go now? My stomach feels a little uncomfortable and I want to go back to my room and lie down for a while."
Wang Ling watched anxiously from the side, not daring to say a word. Upon hearing Shen Lan's words, he quickly asked, "Didn't you feel full just now? Do you want to eat some more?"
Shen Lan looked at the bowl on the table.
Her small bowl was piled high with vegetables, all of which Xiao Yun had snatched from Wang Ling's hands for her. The pile was so high that it seemed a little funny.
"Sorry, I don't seem to have much of an appetite..." She paused and sat down again: "We can't waste food."
She used to be often hungry at the Lu family, but now that she can have enough to eat, she should cherish food more.
Shen Lan just sat there, carefully finishing the food in the bowl mouthful by mouthful, then politely nodded to the old lady, waved to Wang Ling, but ignored Xiao Yun and turned to go upstairs.
Xiao Yun looked at her back and frowned.
Butler Zhao's grateful voice came to my ears.
"Thanks to the young master for coming to my rescue this time, otherwise Miss Shen would not have let it go..."
"Only this time." Xiao Yun looked at him indifferently, his eyes like a frosty sword, and his heart was filled with uncontrollable irritability.
Butler Zhao's heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye. He only said respectfully with a trembling voice, "Yes."
The old lady stood up and waved to Xiao Yun, "Ah Yun, accompany grandma to the garden. The sun is not so strong outside, so it's a good time to breathe some fresh air."
Xiao Yun nodded, walked over silently and held her arm.
Zhao Yue pursed her lips and wanted to follow: "Grandma, I'll accompany you too."
The old lady glanced at her, smiled faintly and shook her head: "No need, help your father go back to his room to rest, he doesn't look well."
Zhao Yue's heart sank, and her fingers tangled together in panic.
The old lady looked at the jade bracelet that she had put back on her wrist and laughed meaningfully: "The ring of this jade bracelet is indeed a bit too big. If you don't like it, you don't have to force yourself to wear it."
"Grandma, I don't dislike this bracelet, I..."
Zhao Yue spoke anxiously, but before she could finish, the old lady waved her hand to interrupt her and left with the support of Xiao Yun.
Zhao Yue was completely panicked now. She ran to Butler Zhao and said in a trembling voice, "Dad, does the old lady hate me?"
