Translator: 549690339
That night, Shi Hongfang brought Jiang Beiran out for a barbecue.
Jiang Beiran couldn’t tell what kind of meat it was when he took the first bite. After asking, he realized that it was actually sandalwood.
Although he didn’t know what it was, it didn’t stop him from thinking that the meat was delicious.
After finishing the roast meat, Shi Hongfang suddenly turned to Jiang Beiran and asked,'”‘Beiran, are you really able to endure it, or are you really not curious at all?”
“May I know what Senior is saying?”
“Aren’t you curious why I was the one who found you and not Lan ‘er’s father?”
“I believe that I will know when I should know.”
“Hahaha, you will know when you should know. If all the juniors in our clan had your temperament, I wonder how many coffins we could buy less.”
Shi Hongfang nodded in satisfaction and continued walking forward.”ln that case, I’ll be a little more at ease handing Lan ‘er over to you.”
“Huh?”
“There’s something wrong with this!”
Although Shi Hongfang had said it casually, Jiang Beiran felt that something was amiss.
” What do you mean leave it to me? Don’t tell me you want me to be Shi Fenglan’s nanny in the future? Don’t do that. Any twenty-year-old among your
Shi family members is already a Mystic Emperor. Why are you looking for a Qi
Refinement like me to be your bodyguard?’
In addition, the question that Shi Hongfang suddenly asked him was also worth considering.
Since her uncle could come into contact with Shi Fenglan, it meant that the Shi family did not have to be so concerned about Shi Fenglan’s evil body now.
If Uncle could come, why couldn’t Father?
There must be some key information that he had not told him.
However, Jiang Beiran’s life creed was just like what he had said earlier. He would know when he should know, and if he knew when he shouldn’t know, it would only lead to disaster.
When they returned to the residence Shi Fenglan had arranged for Jiang Beiran in the morning, Shi Hongfang smiled at Shi Fenglan, who had fallen asleep on the table.
“It seems that this girl has really waited for you for an entire day.” Jiang Beiran was just about to speak when he felt another sharp pain on his back.
“Hiss…”
However, when he thought of the system’s choice, Jiang Beiran did not turn around to look for the direction of the gaze.
“Hahaha! I got SSR! I’m invincible!”
Just as the two of them were about to sneak into a room further in, they heard Shi Fenglan suddenly shout in her sleep.
“Ace, Ace? What’s that?” Shi Hongfang looked at Jiang Beiran with a frown.
Jiang Jiangran coughed lightly and replied,””Yes, it’s a gambling method in our country.”
“Bet?” Shi Hongfang frowned again.” Why is this child still learning these things? When she came back, the tattoo on her body suddenly disappeared. Her father was happy for a long time. Why did she fall in love with gambling again?”
Hearing Shi Hongfang talk about her, Jiang Beiran recalled that when he had first met Shi Fenglan, she had been known to have all kinds of drugs, smoking, drinking, and tattooing.
Now that he thought about it, she was probably like those rebellious girls, hoping to attract their parents ‘attention through this method.
Seeing Shi Hongfang’s worried expression, Jiang Beiran explained,””lt’s called a gamble, but it’s actually just a game.”
Glancing at Jiang Beiran, Shi Hongfang seemed to have understood something and said,'”‘Although I guessed it was you before, it seems like it was indeed you now. Originally, every time Lan ‘er came back, she would carry a pipe in her mouth and a pot of hard liquor in her hand, swaggering around the city.”
“However, one day, when she returned, she suddenly stopped smoking and drinking. Although she was still not very obedient, I felt much better in my heart. From the looks of it now…” ” So?” Shi Hongfang smiled at Jiang Bei.” So you’re the one who made Lan ‘er change?'”‘
“I don’t deserve this praise. After all, I don’t dare to lecture our sect’s hall master. She should have suddenly learned it herself.”
Shi Hongfang shook his head with a smile.” Since you say so, I’ll believe you.
Come. let’s talk in the inner room-“”
Jiang Beiran followed Shi Hongfang into the inner room. On the way, Jiang Beiran pondered over what Shi Hongfang had just said.
He had originally thought that his every move, or rather, all his interactions with Shi Fenglan, had been secretly recorded by someone. But now, it seemed that the Shi family really did not have anyone secretly protecting Shi Fenglan. Otherwise, Shi Hongfang would not have needed to rely on guessing.
Of course, it was also possible that he was lying to her.
But if it was true, then…
Was it also ordered by Gu Liang?
When they reached the inner room, Jiang Beiran took out a tea set and made Shi Hongfang a cup of black tea.
He had already said everything he needed to say throughout the day. How could Jiang Beiran not understand why Shi Hongfang had insisted on sending him back personally? He just wanted to have a sip of tea.
Shi Hongfang sat at the table with a smile. He took the teacup and said, “From tomorrow onwards, you must wait for me outside the valley at 7 AM every day.
I will bring you to Ling Long Lane.”
‘Daily? Isn’t this like going to work?
However, when he thought about the treasures he had seen in the various pavilions today, Jiang Beiran was rather excited.
After pouring Shi Hongfang a cup of tea, Jiang Beiran said, ‘”‘Thank you for your care, Senior.”
“No problem, no problem. I’m the first person to receive you, so it’s only right for me to take care of you.”
“There’s just one thing that I need to tell Senior in advance.”
Seeing how serious Jiang Beiran was, Shi Hongfang also said with a serious expression,” “Speak. ”
“That is, once I have inspiration, I like to lock myself up and think about problems. Inspiration usually comes more suddenly, so I hope that Senior can grant me leave..”
