After I caught the scumbag cheating, Mr. Xiao wanted to marry me

Shen Lan interrupted him urgently, her eyes full of anticipation, and tears that flowed unconsciously wet her eyelashes.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yun asked an obvious and ridiculous question.

"If I hadn't sent that text message, would you not have come out to see me?"

Shen Lan was stunned, thought for a moment and asked, "Is the place you want to take me to my brother's place?"

"No." Xiao Yun shook his head.

Shen Lan's eyes darkened, and she pursed her pink lips tightly. After a while, she said, "If I don't go with you, will you not tell me where my brother is?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun's eyes flashed with bitterness: "Is this what you think of me? Do you think I would threaten you with your brother's whereabouts?"

Shen Lan didn't say anything.

Obviously, that's what she thought. Xiao Yun was a businessman, and an extremely successful one at that. Businessmen were best at exchanging interests.

Xiao Yun looked hurt and stood up straight.

He was very handsome, the kind of handsome that was rather cold, and looked quite scary when he was silent. Behind him was the dark night, and the sound of wind rustling the leaves.

Shen Lan shrank subconsciously, and suddenly felt that it was not a wise choice for him to come out so suddenly.

She seemed to trust Xiao Yun too much. Even though he had treated her like that before, she still subconsciously felt that he would not hurt her.

She forgot that Xiao Yun was a man, and a very scary man.

A mess of thoughts flashed through her mind, and a cold voice pulled her out of her thoughts.

"Not long after your brother went abroad, he was adopted by the Sc Group. Sc Group is a company founded by a Chinese. The founder is infertile, so they adopt a group of outstanding and promising children to train and select the best as the heir. The others must continue to work for the company for at least ten years before they can be released."

"Until now, every successor has had no children, and this rule has been followed to this day. Sc Group recently completed the handover between the old and new leaders, and the new leader has not yet appeared, and no news has been released. No one knows his identity."

"The information of adopted children is confidential. I just followed the clues and found out that your brother was adopted, but I don't know where he is now."

Xiao Yun once tried to inquire about the information of the new person in power from Chen Yi, but Chen Yi was very tight-lipped and no useful information was dug out.

"Your brother is safe now, and his material life will not be bad in the coming years. The people selected and trained by the Sc Group will eventually be very successful, so you don't have to worry."

Shen Lan looked at Xiao Yun in astonishment. She didn't expect that he would tell her so easily.

"That's all I know. Are you disappointed that I couldn't find your brother's exact location?"

Shen Lan quickly shook his head: "No, you, you are already very good."

Afraid that he wouldn't believe it, Shen Lan gave him a thumbs-up and said seriously, "Really, you're amazing."

She had spent so many years as a servant in the Lu family, yet there was no trace of her brother. She had even hired a detective to investigate, but to no avail. Only Xiao Yun had given her such detailed results.

Xiao Yun looked at her thumb, which was half covered by her sleeve, a thin and white piece, and felt a hint of sweetness in his heart.

The sweetness was too light and was quickly covered by the bitterness.

"Now I have nothing to 'threaten' you with."

Xiao Yun pulled the corners of his mouth and looked down at her: "Shen Lan, happy birthday... Goodbye."

Shen Lan's eyelashes trembled as she watched him get into the car, turn it around and prepare to leave.

After the car started and drove a few meters, she suddenly came to her senses and took out her cell phone to make a call.

There was a sound of brakes not far away, and the phone was connected at the same time.

There was a nervous breathing sound coming from the microphone.

"Shen Lan..."

Shen Lan closed his eyes: "You know, I don't like to owe favors to others. Wherever you want to take me, I will go with you."

The car backed up in front of her, the window lowered.

The expression on Xiao Yun's face was like the sun shining through the clouds after a rainstorm, and his smile shone brightly in the night.

"boarding."

"Leaving now? Is the place you're taking me far? I'm going back to change my clothes first."

Xiao Yun raised the corners of his lips: "No need, I have prepared everything you need, you just need to go."

Shen Lan suddenly felt that she might have been deceived by him and had fallen into his scheme of self-torture!
