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

Xiao Ren's smile faltered slightly, and he cursed in his heart that this ugly girl had parents who gave birth to her but not raised her. She didn't even know how to be roundabout and spoke so directly.

"Shen Lan, uncle has to apologize to you."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Lan's eyelids twitched.

The sun rose from the west, and Xiao Ren had actually learned to apologize. But something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Shen Lan's heart instantly tightened, and she secretly became alert.

"Girls really change a lot when they grow up. Uncle didn't recognize you before. I thought you were the kind of woman who climbed up the social ladder, so I said a lot of inappropriate things. After finding out this morning that you are the daughter of the Shenqiao family, I really regret it."

"Your father and I have been friends for many years. I even held you in my arms when you were a baby. Your features resemble your father's..."

Xiao Ren said this, his face full of nostalgia.

Shen Lan chuckled in his heart.

Friends for many years? Xiao Ren hadn't even shown up at his father's memorial service. How could he be such a friend?

She had thick bangs and big-framed glasses that completely covered the upper half of her face, making it impossible to see any of her eyebrows or eyes.

"Really? I don't remember much about my childhood."

Shen Lan responded casually, looking at him quietly, waiting for his next words.

"It's normal that you don't remember. You were still young at that time. Witnessing your parents' accident with your own eyes must have been a huge shock. Poor thing."

Xiao Ren spoke with pity. After he said this, he saw Shen Lan hanging her head in sadness and silence. He was delighted and couldn't wait to get to the point.

"Shen Lan, you used to be a rich lady. Even if your family went bankrupt, you were still the future daughter-in-law of the Lu family. How could you let Xiao Yun humiliate you like this and order you around like a servant?"

Shen Lan's eyes flickered, and he sighed deliberately, saying awkwardly, "There's nothing I can do. I have no one to rely on, so I can only listen to Uncle Lu and the others."

Xiao Ren's face was filled with grief, and he said ashamedly, "This rebellious son of mine has been doing whatever he wants since he inherited the Xiao family. He has been lawless, and as a father, I can't control him. I have made you suffer so much, and I feel very sorry for you."

Shen Lan curled up the fingers hanging at his side.

Xiao Ren seemed to have misunderstood the relationship between her and Xiao Yun, thinking that Xiao Yun was deliberately humiliating her and that she had suffered a great injustice.

Shen Lan found it funny.

The few days she spent at the Xiao family were the most relaxing and comfortable days she had had in recent years.

Xiao Yun gave her full freedom and never beat or scolded her. She only needed to cook three meals a day and get a salary, which included food and accommodation. She had money and free time, which was much better than being a slave in the Lu family.

"It's okay, I don't feel wronged."

Shen Lan was telling the truth, but to Xiao Ren, it sounded like she was suffering but was afraid to speak out and was just trying to suppress her grievances.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and he whispered, "Uncle is incompetent and can't discipline Xiao Yun. But I can give you an idea."

Shen Lan pretended to be curious: "What's the idea?"

Xiao Ren looked around and handed her a small bottle mysteriously: "Add this to Xiao Yun's food."

Shen Lan's heart trembled. Looking at the brown powder in the bottle, his brows furrowed. "You want me to poison you? Isn't this harming me? If anything happens to Xiao Yun, I'm finished!"

So this is Xiao Ren's real purpose of getting close to her. But doesn't it seem too stupid for him to hand the bottle to her so openly?

"Don't talk nonsense. No matter how bad Xiao Yan is, he is still my son. How could I possibly harm him? This contains pig liver powder."

Shen Lan opened the bottle cap and smelled it. There was indeed a fishy smell inside. It was definitely pig liver powder.

She remembered Liu Lin saying that Xiao Yun didn't eat offal.

Seeing her understanding, Xiao Rencai smiled and said, "Although Xiao Yan is not picky about food, he is very superstitious about ingredients related to offal. He won't touch even a little bit. There was once a chef who used a knife that had been used to cut offal to cut meat, and he was fired immediately."

"You just need to add some pig liver powder to the porridge. Xiao Yun will definitely not tolerate it, and then you can get away with it."

Shen Lan turned the glass bottle around, his expression delighted: "Yes, why didn't I think of this idea? This is really a good idea."

Seeing her coming up, Xiao Ren nodded with satisfaction: "It's getting late, go and cook, I won't disturb you."

After saying that, he left, his back showing joy.

Shen Lan watched him leave, looked at the bottle in his hand, sneered, and casually put it in his pocket.

Meanwhile, on the third floor.

Xiao Yun sat in front of the computer, looking at the surveillance footage on the screen, his eyes as deep as a cold pond.

Butler Zhao stood aside, observing his expression, and said cautiously, "Young Master, Miss Shen has accepted Mr. Master's things. Do you want someone else to cook this dinner?"
