Chapter 719 Are You Nervous?
"Sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
The middle-aged woman had thin cheeks and her eyes were sharp and mean. When she realized that she had recognized the wrong person, she waved her hands and forced a flattering smile.
Jin Yu also recognized her and frowned: "It's you again. Last time you recognized the wrong person and even scratched my friend, and you're here again this time. Are you a human trafficker?"
As she spoke, she became alert and quickly protected Shen Lan and retreated.
Shen Lan is beautiful, so it's not surprising that some people have evil thoughts about her. Maybe this is a new method used by human traffickers.
The woman quickly waved her hands and stammered, "No, I'm not. I'm definitely not."
Jin Yu became even more suspicious.
Shen Lan had been staring at the middle-aged woman. Upon hearing this, he suddenly asked, "I don't look like an ordinary person, do I? You've mistaken me twice in a row. Who are you looking for? Can you show me a photo?"
She always felt that this woman was weird, and the way she looked at her was especially strange.
The middle-aged woman smiled awkwardly, "You look a lot like a relative of mine. She's a bit crazy and always likes to run away. She's been missing several times, and I'm scared of her. So, I saw that your profile looks a bit like mine, so I ran over here in a hurry..."
She said with embarrassment in her eyes: "I'm so sorry, beautiful lady. I'm old and my eyesight is not good. I will definitely see more clearly next time. Please forgive me this time."
She looked pitiful. Jin Yu and Shen Lan didn't believe her. "Produce photos to prove it. If your relatives really get lost that easily, they should have photos to make it easier to find them. Don't you have any?"
The woman's eyes flickered, and she quickly said, "Yes, there are photos, but I didn't bring them with me, and they're not saved in my phone."
It was obvious that she had no evidence, so Jin Yu quickly raised her hand to call security.
The woman ran away like a rabbit and disappeared in an instant.
Jin Yu and Shen Lan didn't dare to chase her, for fear that if she had any accomplices, they would be like sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.
After the security guard came over, the two men told them what had happened and asked them to check the surveillance footage.
Even if you report this to the police, they won't be able to handle it, after all, it's just Jin Yu and Shen Lan's personal speculation.
After Shen Lan and Jin Yu separated, they did not go to the pharmaceutical factory but went straight home.
She has been busy for several days and needs a good rest.
But after lying in bed, Shen Lan couldn't fall asleep. He kept thinking about that woman in his mind, and he always felt that something was wrong.
She got up, found a pen and paper, and as she recalled the woman's appearance, her hand holding the pen began to move.
Before long, a lifelike portrait appeared on the white paper.
"I didn't know you could sketch."
Xiao Yun's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Shen Lan was startled and patted his chest: "You are a cat. You walk without making any sound. You scared me to death."
Xiao Yun half-bent over, hugged Shen Lan into his arms, and asked, "When did you learn sketching?"
Shen Lan raised her chin, a hint of pride showing on her exquisite and beautiful face, lively and cute: "I know a lot of things."
Before the Shen family went bankrupt, she was also the daughter of a wealthy family. She had learned some arts including music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Until she was discovered to have a high talent for medicine, she began to concentrate on studying medicine.
Later, when her family fell into hardship, the Lu family could not afford to pay a large sum of money for her to learn any talents. She did take Lu Yunqing's talent class, but unfortunately, Lu Yunqing cried and refused to learn after a short while.
The only thing I have persisted in until now is calligraphy and painting.
"Niannian is so amazing, she knows so much." Xiao Yun touched her head, like coaxing a child.
Shen Lan felt a burning sensation in her ears. Why did this compliment sound so awkward coming from Xiao Yun's mouth? Don't think she doesn't know that Xiao Yun knows no less than her.
"Who is this person? Why did you draw her?" Xiao Yun had already carefully looked at the person in the painting and was sure that he didn't know her, so he asked.
Shen Lan told him about the two times she was mistaken for someone else.
Xiao Yun's eyes deepened: "It's indeed not right. Give me this painting and I will help you check it out."
Shen Lan handed him the painting: "Thank you for your help."
"Tell me whether it's troublesome or not." Xiao Yun glared at her unhappily and went out with the painting.
During dinner, Shen Lan's face was full of smiles, her eyebrows and eyes were shining, and her pair of peach blossom eyes were so bright that they seemed to contain all the sunshine in the world.
Xiao Yun was thankful more than once that he had booked a private room.
"When does your brother plan to see you?"
When Shen Lan heard this, he looked at him in surprise: "You know everything?"
She also planned to tell him the surprise later.
"My people are keeping an eye on Chu Xu. He went to your pharmaceutical factory." Xiao Yun explained, fearing that Shen Lan would misunderstand that he was monitoring her.
Shen Lan didn't care about this. He simply repeated the contents of the letter and said distressedly, "My brother must have suffered a lot."
"The person in charge of Sc Group?" Xiao Yun was stunned. In a flash, he suddenly remembered that Chen Yi had said that the new boss was from J City.
He didn't think about it at the time, but he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
Shen Lan was eating happily when she suddenly noticed Xiao Yun's expression.
In fact, Xiao Yun rarely has any expression on his face, but maybe because they have been together for a long time, Shen Lan can always notice some small details.
She smiled and asked, "Xiao Yun, are you nervous?"
