In an instant, countless details flooded into Shen Lan's mind.

When Xiao Yun was drinking the bowl of porridge at the Lu family banquet, he did hesitate for a long time, and Liu Lin was also surprised to see him finish the porridge.

The first breakfast she made when she came to the Xiao family, she was half-forced by Xiao Yun to eat first. For every meal after that, Xiao Yun would wait until she had taken a few bites before slowly starting to eat.

The more Shen Lan thought about it, the more terrified she became. She had actually thought that Xiao Yun was a gentleman and was polite to her. She thought he was a fantastic boss, and she happily and foolishly ate the food he served.

It turned out that he wanted her to taste poison!

Xiao Yun looked at her with an expression that said, "You are heartless, ungrateful and unreasonable," and felt a headache. "I know what you are thinking, but don't think about it first. Listen to me."

"Are you afraid that I'll poison you?" Shen Lan poked at the porridge in the bowl and said angrily, "Then why did you ask me to come to the Xiao family? Wouldn't it be better to use a chef you trust?"

Although Shen Lan understood him intellectually, he still felt uncomfortable.

It's really frustrating to work diligently but still be guarded by your boss.

Shen Lan tried his best to ignore the slight pain in his heart, and his whole body was wilted, like a cabbage that had lost water.

Xiao Yun was also quite depressed. He originally wanted to take the initiative to ask about Xiao Ren, but Shen Lan's move made him feel guilty and inexplicably ashamed.

"The previous chef who entered the Xiao family had to live under the surveillance of bodyguards all day long." Xiao Yun's expression was calm as he explained calmly, "You are hiding a secret. I didn't let anyone monitor you. I deliberately gave you some peace of mind. You should thank me."

"Besides, if you have a clear conscience, why would you care about who eats first or later?"

It sounded very reasonable. Shen Lan smiled dryly and pulled the corner of his mouth: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Xiao Yun said with his eyes slightly narrowed, tapping the table with his slender fingers, his eyes looking down at him.

"I've said what I need to say, Shen Lan, do you have anything to tell me?"

Shen Lan subconsciously prepared to shake his head, but suddenly his fingers touched the small medicine bottle in his pocket. His eyes lit up and he immediately took out the bottle.

"Boss, your scumbag dad asked me to add this to your meal."

"He said he and my father were old friends, and he couldn't bear to see me being bossed around by you, so he told me to sprinkle this pig liver powder on the rice. That way you'd chase me away, and I could be free again."

Shen Lan curled her lips as she spoke. She didn't want the freedom of poverty. What she wanted was free food and shelter, money and free time, so she could rely on others to find out the truth about her parents' murder and find her brother.

Being Xiao Yun's personal assistant is simply the perfect fit.

So Shen Lan sold Xiao Ren out without hesitation and handed over his token of allegiance - a bottle of pig liver powder.

"I just find it strange. He pretends to care about me and goes to so much trouble to make me leave the Xiao family?"

The answer is definitely not!

Shen Lan held up the small glass bottle with a serious expression: "So I think there must be something else added to this bottle of pig liver powder. You'd better check it carefully."

Xiao Yun took the bottle, lowered his eyes to look at it for a while, and suddenly chuckled.

Just as he thought, Shen Lan was not fooled and was indeed very smart.

His brows relaxed, and the gloom he had felt since seeing the surveillance footage disappeared in an instant, and his heart was filled with a joy that he couldn't explain.

Shen Lan saw him suddenly laugh out loud and looked at him with pity.

The boss must have been upset. He could still laugh out loud even when being bullied. I'm afraid he has a mental problem!

Yes, you have to be on guard against being harmed in your own home, and the person you have to be on guard against is your own biological father. It’s so sad to think about it.

Even his own father wants to poison him, so there is nothing wrong with Xiao Yun being cautious.

The fact that he was willing to eat the food cooked by a stranger was already giving her face!

After figuring this out, Shen Lan's secret feeling of loss suddenly disappeared.

She patted Xiao Yun's shoulder with a solemn expression and said, "Don't worry, boss. From now on, whenever I cook, I will take the initiative to test for poison for you."

Xiao Yun was in a good mood and glanced at her with a smile in his eyes: "You mean, if you don't cook, you won't help me test the poison."

Needless to say!

Shen Lan has confidence in herself and she will not poison anyone, but she has no confidence in others.

She simply played dumb, gave a perfunctory laugh, and got away with it.

Shen Lan had no appetite for the meal, but Xiao Yun had a good appetite and ate all the food.

Shen Lan went downstairs carrying the empty plate. Butler Zhao rushed over and saw that the food was gone. His expression froze for a moment.

"Master, have you eaten everything?"
