Chapter 501 See Your Sincerity
Shen Lan originally wanted to leave quietly, but now looking at this scene, he didn't know whether he should leave.
The atmosphere in the entire living room was stagnant, and any movement she made now would be too obvious.
Shen Lan's experience over the past decade told her that it would be best to lower her presence at this moment.
So she stood aside silently, with her eyes lowered and her head lowered.
But Shen Lan forgot that she used to dress inconspicuously, so this was the only way to reduce her presence. But now her face was there, no matter where she stood, she was the focus, so this was simply a futile effort.
Xiao Yun glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, intending to ask her to go upstairs to avoid the limelight, for fear that she would run into Chu Xu. But then he thought again, they would run into each other sooner or later, and at least Shen Lan would be safer under his nose.
His eyes moved, his gaze was cold, and his face was chilly.
Old Mrs. Xiao knew his plan and advised him at the right time: "Let's meet him. Maybe he has changed for the better after all these years."
Xiao Yun then said, "Let him in."
A few minutes later, a tall figure walked in.
Shen Lan was very curious about Chu Xu and looked over secretly.
The man came with his back to the light, so I couldn't see his features for a moment. I could only tell he was tall, and his steps were slow and unhurried. He was lean, and the sunlight filtered through his thin T-shirt, revealing a hint of muscle.
Only when he came closer did Shen Lan see his appearance clearly.
She has skin as white as jade, red lips and white teeth, narrow eyes with naturally upturned tails. When she smiles, she has a kind of carefree and unrestrained youthful feeling.
As if he noticed Shen Lan's gaze, he glanced at him sideways, revealing a hint of evil that was not to be messed with.
Shen Lan was stunned and blinked. When she looked over again, she saw a big smile on Chu Xu's face. He looked handsome and bright.
The evil spirit just now seemed to be her illusion, and Shen Lan was a little dazed.
Seeing their eyes meet, Xiao Yun's hands tightened unconsciously, and his palms felt slightly sweaty.
He did not miss the subconscious surprise and curiosity in Chu Xu's eyes, and his heart was lifted.
Sure enough, the next second, Chu Xu asked in a familiar voice, "Ah Yun, who is this beautiful young lady? Why have I never seen her before?"
When Xiao Yun heard the name "A Yun", his face tensed.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Chu Xu went to ask the servant who led the way.
The servant looked at Xiao Yun with embarrassment, not knowing whether to answer.
Xiao Yun said impatiently: "Just a life assistant, stop talking nonsense, Chu Xu, what on earth do you want to do here today?"
As he said this, he moved his feet inconspicuously and hid Li Hui behind him, covering him tightly.
Shen Lan glanced at this scene, his eyes were calm and indifferent, and he lowered his head to reduce his presence.
Chu Xu's attention was indeed diverted. He stared at Li Hui's figure with great interest: "I don't know this sister either. Ah Yun, can you introduce her to me?"
"You don't need to know her." Xiao Yun's voice was cold and hard, his eyes were cold: "If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out."
"You're truly heartless." Chu Xu said with a resentful tone, and smiled. "I just got off the plane, and my old lady asked me to go with you to the cemetery to kowtow to Grandpa Xiao. I was young and ignorant before, and I offended Grandpa Xiao. I know I was wrong now."
When he said this, he looked very well-behaved and sincere.
Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes: "Do you really know you're wrong? Don't you blame me for forcing your father to send you abroad?"
Chu Xu thought for a moment and said seriously, "At first, I was indeed unconvinced and resentful towards you. But after all these years out there, I've come to my senses. I was jealous of you back then, and I felt unbalanced, so I tried every possible way to target you to highlight my abilities."
"I was extremely wrong about Grandpa Xiao. He treated me like his own grandson, but I treated him like this. I have lost my basic conscience as a human being, and I deserve to be punished."
Shen Lan's eyelashes twitched. She didn't know if it was because she had a preconceived notion. Although the words were obviously sincere, she always felt that there was a bit of a discrepancy between their words and their hearts.
Xiao Yun looked at him calmly, his eyes showing no emotion. Suddenly, he raised his lips to smile, sat down on the sofa, supported his head with his hands, and looked away.
"I don't quite believe it, can you prove it to me?"
Chu Xu's smile remained unchanged: "Ah Yun, how do you want me to prove it?"
Xiao Yun raised his hand to signal the servant to come over and whispered a few words in his ear. The servant listened with a look of astonishment and left in a hurry.
Everyone looked at his back curiously.
Chu Xu looked for two seconds and then looked away, looking at Li Hui.
This time, without Xiao Yun blocking his view, he could see everything clearly.
She has a pretty face, a hot body, and a heroic and resolute temperament that is rare among women. She is indeed quite unique.
But it seems that she is not as eye-catching as the young lady just now. However, Xiao Yun has never been interested in beautiful women since he was a child. Maybe he just likes unique ones.
Chu Xu's eyes wandered between Li Hui and Shen Lan.
Noticing this, Xiao Yun's face darkened and he said to Li Hui, "Come over to my side."
This protective behavior made Chu Xu stunned for a moment, and then a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. This emotion was fleeting, so fast that it was impossible to detect it.
After a few minutes, the servant came over carefully holding a photo frame.
In the photo frame was the portrait of Mr. Xiao.
Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows and said to Chu Xu, "I don't want to know whether you have changed your ways, and I don't care whether you blame me or not. As long as you don't provoke me, I will ignore you."
"But you did disrespect my old man back then, and you owe him an apology. You don't have to go to the cemetery today. Just apologize to the portrait and let me see your sincerity."
