Chapter 106 - Yan Kuan’s Lies

“Can you return the Black Ganoderma to me if it is useless to you?”

“Return it to you? What are you going to do?”

“I, I have a use for it.”

“What use?”

“In any case, it is useful. You haven’t used it yet, right?”

Shen Xiaoxiao remembered what Third Uncle had said. The only way to use the Black Ganoderma was to use the half key that was placed in the Pei family’s house as a knife. Yan Kuan did not know about this, so he definitely would not use it.

However, would Yan Kuan really do as she said? Of course not. She only heard Yan Kuan say, “You said it too late. It has already been used.”

“What?”

Yan Kuan was lying?

When Shen Xiaoxiao heard that he had already used it, she immediately felt that Yan Kuan was lying.

Shen Xiaoxiao looked straight into Yan Kuan’s eyes. She had never thought that Yan Kuan would lie so openly.

Moreover, he did not even change his expression. Then, did he lie to her so often?

“So, so soon?”

Yan Kuan looked at her meaningfully and nodded.

“It’s used to save people. Do you think I would leave it unused?”

Shen Xiaoxiao did not have Yan Kuan’s good willpower. When she met his dark and deep eyes, which seemed to have everything under control, she was already a little afraid and shaken.

Would Yan Kuan know something?

Would he?

“What do you want the Black Ganoderma for?”

“Oh, no, nothing much. I’m just asking. I’m concerned about you. Didn’t you leave for many days?”

“Concerned about me?”

“Yes, that’s right. I’m concerned about you.”.

“Yes, good girl. Now that you know you’re concerned about your man, your man needs to sleep now. Hurry up and sleep.”

After Yan Kuan said that, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly without saying another word.

At this moment, Shen Xiaoxiao was relieved that Yan Kuan did not get to the bottom of it this time. She did not dare to say another word. When he said sleep, she really closed her eyes and did not ask any more questions. In a short while, she fell into a deep sleep.

Listening to the sound of her slow and steady breathing, Yan Kuan’s heart softened.

She already knew, right? She already knew the secret of the Black Ganoderma.

But now, he was going to get that half of the key. What should he do?

The Shen family’s secret fund?

He did not care. He only wanted to save that person’s life. That was all.

But this little guy in his arms was so stubborn. What should he do?

He, Yan Kuan, actually had a headache because of such a thing. It seemed that this little guy’s position in his heart was much more important than he thought.

What a headache…

The 28th of December

According to the annual practice, whether it was to hide the truth or to show it to the people of the Shen Enterprise, Gu Yuehua and Liu Qianmin would definitely bring Liu Yufei to the cemetery to help Shen Jin and sweep the graves.

This year was naturally no exception.

Early in the morning, Gu Yuehua had already tidied up and sat in the living room with Liu Qianmin, waiting for Liu Yufei to come down from upstairs.

However, after waiting for a while, it was already past 10 o’clock and there was still no sign of Liu Yufei.

Gu Yuehua was a little anxious. She immediately went upstairs to look at Liu Yufei’s room door and asked, “Yufei, why haven’t you packed up yet? Hurry up and come down. It’s getting late. I still have to go to your Second Uncle’s house for lunch.”

“Oh, Mom, I won’t be going today. You and Dad can go. I have something to do today.”

“Something to do?”

“Yes, I have something urgent to deal with. I can’t leave. You and Dad can go. I’ll go to Second Uncle’s house directly in the afternoon.”

“I see. Okay.”

Gu Yuehua would never force Liu Yufei. To her, Liu Yufei was her reliance and the only treasure of their family.

Therefore, regardless of whether Liu Yufei had something to do or not, she would never force her to go if she didn’t want to. The purpose of visiting the grave was to put on a show for everyone. If it wasn’t for the fact that she hadn’t completely won over the Shen Enterprise yet, she wouldn’t have bothered to pretend and make herself so tired.

Meanwhile, in the room, Liu Yufei’s eyes were currently staring in horror at the video on her computer.

Early in the morning, someone had sent an email over. She really didn’t expect, didn’t expect that someone would actually record this thing.

The video of her and Li Yang was obviously taken when they were at the hot spring villa. But who actually took it? Could it be Li Yang?

But he had checked the IP of this email. It was sent from an internet café in the capital. She accompanied Li Yang for three days before he reluctantly returned to the country.

And during those three days, the two of them spent almost all their time in bed. Li Yang didn’t look like he would film these things. If this thing was leaked, Li Yang’s inheritance would be in great danger.

He was not the only son in his family. His father had two illegitimate children. Therefore, the person who filmed this video could not be Li Yang. He was not so foolish as to ruin his future.

So, now, who was it?

Ding!

Another email came. Liu Yufei hurriedly opened it. When she saw it, her expression was a hundred times uglier than before.

Black Tiger was dead?

That man was dead?

How? And he died in a car accident? Why did she feel that something was wrong?

Then, the phone rang.

“Miss Liu, I’m Li San Er. I have something to discuss with you…”

…

“Third Uncle, don’t buy anymore. We’ve bought enough. We can’t eat so much with just a few people.”

Shen Xiaoxiao pushed the cart and accompanied Third Uncle as they strolled leisurely through the supermarket. However, Third Uncle was too enthusiastic. The cart was almost unable to hold all the things.

Yan Kuan went out again. This time, it was said that he would only return after the New Year’s Eve. Shen Xiaoxiao wondered if it was related to that mysterious person who wanted to use the Black Ganoderma.

Who could that person be? Who could be the person that Yan Kuan cared so much about, the person he wanted to accompany on New Year’s Eve?

“It’s not enough. It’s the New Year. This is the first New Year that you will spend with Third Uncle after you return to the country. Naturally, we have to prepare the New Year goods properly. It’s fine even if we have more. It’s better if we have more than enough.”

“Alright, let’s buy. What else do we need to buy?”

“It’s about time. Let’s go and see Grandma Lin first. Then, we’ll prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner…”

Whether it was in her past life or this life, this was also the first time Shen Xiaoxiao was so happy to prepare everything for the New Year.

In her past life, when she spent New Year’s Eve at the Liu family, there was absolutely nothing for Shen Xiaoxiao to do. Not only was Shen Xiaoxiao unable to fit in with the Liu family’s annual reunion party, she would even hide in her own room, listening to the noise downstairs and watching the fireworks outside the window. It was an extraordinarily lively New Year’s Eve. In those few years, she actually felt more lonely than when she stayed in M Nation.

In this life, she had never thought that Third Uncle and she would be able to prepare New Year’s Eve dinner so leisurely. Although there were only the two of them, such peaceful days were something that Shen Xiaoxiao had never experienced before.

Yan Kuan left, but before he left, 19 returned to her side. Aside from his ugly expression, she did not seem to have suffered any injuries on the surface. However, Shen Xiaoxiao knew that the punishment they had received… Was not as easy as she had imagined.

There was naturally an apology, but it was mostly a form of admiration for Yan Kuan’s strict rule.

New Year, a new atmosphere. After the New Year, she would turn 18. When she truly matured, she would slowly take back the property that her father had left her. Everything would be a different beginning, a different future.
