Chapter 330 The Clue Has Just Emerged
After this incident, the Li family tried all ways and means to prevent Shen Xinglan’s company from doing business. However, no matter what they did, Shen Xinglan could always get around these obstacles, which made Li Peng, who always had been successful all these years, angrier.
“Dad, I think Shen Xinglan is good.” This day, Lan Lixiao had gone to the company to check on it, and Lan Hua said this with a smile. Lan Wenxuan standing beside him, also smiled.
“He has managed to restrain the Li family. Recently they have no time to bother us, and they did not even try to snatch a piece of land in the development zone.”
There was no change in Lan Lixiao’s expression, but both father and son knew that Elder Master was also very happy.
“Li Peng is angry now. He never thought that Shen Xinglan would come dare to come to Jingcheng City on his own, if he is a only simple businessman.”
Lan Wenxuan asked curiously, “Does he have any powerful background?”
“It doesn’t matter to us who he is.” Lan Lixiao’s expression was obscure. “Since he likes A Miao, he isn’t the enemy of the Lan family.”
Lan Hua smiled. “Dad, do you agree?”
“Hmph!” Lan Lixiao suddenly became solemn. “It’s useless whether I agree or not.”
In the Lan house.
A Miao pushed the door of the treasure room open. She carefully wiped the porcelain with a cotton cloth like before, checked that the glass cabinet door was closed tightly, and then walked slowly to the wooden table.
“I don’t know what kind of wood it is. There’s no wood dust on it.” She casually held a towel across the leg of the table, then looked at a porcelain bowl on it, and left the room.
After leaving the treasure room, she sent a message to Shen Xinglan, and did not go out until evening.
“Here it is!” When she got to Shen Xinglan’s villa, she gave him the ring as soon as she got in.
Shen Xinglan took it. “Is everything all right?”
“Hm, Elder Master Lan seems to have gone to the company today.” A Miao looked around. “Where is Yaya?”
“Mom!” Just as her voice reverberated, she saw her rushing down the stairs.
Shen Xinglan picked Yaya up, just in time to stop her from bumping into A Miao.
“Mom, Dad will be sending me to kindergarten!” Yaya complained. “He doesn’t want Yaya anymore. Mom, please take Yaya away! Let’s go to the house of Mom’s grandpa.”
A Miao looked at Shen Xinglan, in surprise.
Shen Xinglan was very calm. “Yaya is almost four years old, and other children attend kindergarten when they are only three years old.”
“Yes…” A Miao looked at her daughter. “Why doesn’t Yaya want to go to kindergarten?”
Yaya realized that Mom seemed to agree with Dad’s decision. She pouted and started to cry. “There is no father or mother in kindergarten…”
“But there are many children in the kindergarten, and Yaya will become good friends with them.” A Miao hugged her. “Every child has to go to kindergarten. Only when they go to kindergarten, can they grow up!”
“So did Mom?”
“Of course!”
“And Dad?” A Miao looked at Shen Xinglan.
Shen Xinglan nodded. “If you go to kindergarten, Mom will pick you up every day.”
“Really?” Yaya turned her head and looked at A Miao.
A Miao kissed her and said, “Of course, Mom will pick Yaya up every day!”
“Then… Then I’ll go,” Yaya had difficulty saying this, “but if Yaya doesn’t like it, you can’t send me there! Otherwise… Otherwise…”
Finally, she could not say finish what she was saying.
Shen Xinglan waited on purpose to see what she would say, as he did not know what was Yaya’s thoughts.
“Otherwise, I’ll find Hanhan!”
A Miao laughed out loud, and Shen Xinglan’s face turned solemn.
For Yaya, Yu Sihan was the person who could meet any of her needs, and was second only to Mom and Dad in the world!
“You have found a kindergarten for her?” They were sitting in the living room. Yaya was watching Animal world on TV. A Miao picked up a mango.
Shen Xinglan took the mango and peeled it. “It is within the community and very near. There are only ten children in one class. I went to see them yesterday. Many of them are foreigners.”
“It is part of the supporting facilities in the villa area.” The villas in City S were the same.
“So the environment is pleasant and the conditions are good.” Shen Xinglan cut the mango into small pieces. “And it’s near home. Yaya won’t be so nervous.”
A Miao opened her mouth and was fed a piece of mango. Yaya quickly turned her head.
“Daddy! Ah… ” She opened her mouth.
Shen Xinglan fed her a piece, passed the small bowl to her, and asked her to eat by herself.
“Anyway, she won’t be in the kindergarten for too long.” A Miao lowered her voice. “I always think it will soon be over.”
Shen Xinglan touched her head. “I will ask Shen I to send it away and check the material of that table.”
The next afternoon, when A Miao was going out, she saw Lan Lixiao looking at her angrily.
“Grandpa…” She came to him. “What’s the matter with you?”
“Hmph!” Lan Lixiao turned his head.
A Miao thought that the old man was like a young child, who needed to be coaxed. So, she sat opposite him and said, “Look at me! I’m so cute!”
Lan Lixiao coughed and glanced at her. “What’s the use of being cute? You always go out every day.”
“Then I won’t go out?” A Miao said with a smile, “I’ll stay at home with you, and I won’t go anywhere!”
Lan Lixiao turned his head back and said, “I’m not a disagreeable person. What did Shen Xinglan ask you to do today?”
“Yaya went to kindergarten. It’s her first day today. I promised to pick her up.”
“That child…” Lan Lixiao smiled and said, “she is a good kid. Bring her back for dinner this weekend!”
A Miao nodded at once. “Of course! Then…”
“Go! Go!” Lan Lixiao drove her off with his walking stick.
In kindergarten, Yaya sat on a stool, with a small schoolbag on her back.
A little girl in pigtails came over and glared at her. “You are not allowed to carry this schoolbag tomorrow!”
“Why?” Yaya blinked. Her mother had bought the schoolbag with a duck pattern, for her. She liked it.
The little girl looked at her, with her arms akimbo. “Because I also have this schoolbag. I will be carrying it tomorrow!”
“Oh!” Yaya nodded, and then looked at the direction of the gate.
The little girl seemed to be very satisfied with her attitude. She moved a small stool and sat next to her. “Who will pick you up later?”
“My mother!” Yaya said happily, “But it seems that my father will come too. How about you?”
The little girl was unhappy. “What’s the big deal? Just Mom and Dad! Hmph, you are so annoying. I don’t want to talk to you.”
“…” Yaya saw her stomping away angrily but didn’t know what had happened.
The teacher called to her from the door. “Yaya, your father and mother are here!”
“Mommy and Daddy!” Yaya ran out, cheering.
A Miao picked her up. “Is kindergarten interesting?”
“It’s okay…” Yaya scratched her fingers. “Just a few kids are really stupid.”
A Miao, “…”
After talking with the teacher, Shen Xinglan came to them. A Miao saw that the teacher’s cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were shining.
“Let’s go!” Shen Xinglan looked steadily forward, and ushered Yaya and A Miao out.
A Miao gave him a pinch. “Why are you so handsome…”
“Hahh! For seducing you?” Shen Xinglan lowered his voice and bit her ear.
Yaya, who was looking at the other children, turned her head. “Dad, what did you say?”
“Nothing, Dad said that we will go out for dinner in the evening.” A Miao shot Shen Xinglan a glare.
Yaya did not know that the adult world was complicated. She immediately said with a grimace, “But I already had dinner in the kindergarten…”
“Then how about Yaya accompanying Mom and Dad? You can have a pudding later.”
“Good!” Yaya raised her little hand to cheer, and suddenly pointed to the front. “That’s my friend in kindergarten.”
There was a middle-aged woman not far away, who was pulling the hand of a three-or-four-year little girl. The little girl could be vaguely heard, shouting that “you are just my aunt or something…”
“Mom, is that aunt bullying the child?” When Yaya saw her little classmate running, she thought that the aunt was a bad person.
A Miao smiled and said, “No, it’s the kid who is getting angry.”
“Oh!” Yaya did not ask anything.
A Miao felt strange. She did not know that Yaya was thinking that the kid was really very grumpy and had just lost her temper with her…
“Most of the people who live here are businessmen, as well as senior white-collar workers from other countries. Sometimes they are very busy. Many children are taken care of by nannies.”
Shen Xinglan had long inquired about the situation here.
“Such a child…” A Miao shook her head. Just now, the little girl obviously rejected the nanny. She had a father and a mother, but had to live with a stranger.
“Everyone’s family is different. Don’t think about it. It’s okay that we are together with Yaya” Shen Xinglan hugged her. “Let’s go. Get in the car.”
Yaya’s kindergarten life went well, but if A Miao did not pick her up, she would cry and refuse to go to kindergarten the next day. So, A Miao had to pick her every afternoon, and Shen Xinglan also tried to deal with the company’s affairs early, so he could come back on time.
A week later, Shen I brought back the test results.
“The composition of that wood is gold.”
Shen I handed the report to Shen Xinglan and A Miao. “The gold is not completely pure. Its purity is probably about 80%.”
“That’s ancient gold!” A Miao looked at the data. “The ancient purification technology is not advanced, so the gold content is not as high as the modern.”
“It seems that it’s from the dragon vein.” She looked at Shen Xinglan. “Give this data to the people at the top and let them check it by themselves, okay?”
“It’s no use. Their purpose is for us to find the entrance to the dragon vein.”
“But I can’t find any more clues, except that wooden table,” A Miao said dejectedly, “don’t they know what the clues of dragon vein are? A map? A Key? Nobody knows about it…”
Shen Xinglan comforted her and put his arm around her shoulders. “Since one of the clues is the table, it’s better to check it again. Maybe there will be other discoveries.”
“You can’t find out his identity?” Li Peng found this hard to believe. “I know your capacity, Boss Yin. He is just a businessman from the south. You actually can’t find anything?”
On the other side of the phone, Yin Sihai was holding several photos and a stack of materials. He looked at A Miao’s photos and broke into soft laughter.
“When did I say I couldn’t find it?”
“What do you mean, then?” Li Peng was discontented and said, “I paid you so much money. You must give me a report!”
