I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 371 Lan Dai

Mrs. Gu's visit at this time must not be just a simple visit. Shen Jiao personally led the old lady into the garden, and Shen Qingyu followed silently.

Lan Dai held Gu Yuzhu's arm and secretly glanced at Jiang Huashan, who was not far away. "Jinggang is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I have never seen anyone so beautiful. Which daughter of the Shen family is she?"

Gu Yuzhu covered her mouth and whispered, "She is the adopted daughter of the Shen family, Jiang Huashan."

At the end, he added, "She's not easy to get along with. Remember to avoid her if you meet her next time."

Adopted daughter?

Anyone with a keen eye could tell from these words that the two were not close.

Lan Dai's eyes paused slightly.

Aren't the Shen and Gu families related by marriage? Why are the girls from the two families so estranged?

Gu Yuzhu saw her confusion and lowered her voice, "You're new to Jinggang, so you don't know. The Shen family's old man has three wives. Brother Qingyu is from the second wife, and they are from the third wife. So our Gu family is closer to Brother Qingyu."

Lan Dai nodded thoughtfully and looked at Shen Qingyu shyly.

Seeing this, Gu Yuzhu nudged Lan Dai's shoulder and asked, "Are you interested?"

Lan Dai's cheeks flushed slightly, and she suddenly frowned as she thought of something. "But... didn't you say he's a playboy? And that he changes girlfriends as soon as the novelty wears off?"

"Ah?" Gu Yuzhu scratched her head. "Is that really the case? But it's also true that my brother is excellent, so Dai Dai, you better think carefully before making a decision."

Lan Dai looked at him dimly and nodded slightly.

On the other side, Fu Suier gently pulled Jiang Huashan's arm, and the wild beast in the melon field took over again.

"I bet that girl named Lan Dai has definitely taken a fancy to Brother Qingyu. Just from what Old Madam Gu said about her introduction, anyone with a discerning eye can see that she's trying to set Brother Qingyu up with someone else."

Jiang Huashan didn't respond. Fu Sui'er touched his chin and continued to mutter to himself, "She was able to convince Old Madam Gu to personally make the connection. Who is this girl?"

"The richest man in Xiwan and the only daughter of the Lan family."

Fu Sui'er was stunned, then looked at Jiang Huashan in sudden realization, "How do you know? Do you know her?"

Jiang Huashan smiled and said, "I don't know him."

In her previous life, she had only met Lan Dai once.

It was at her grandfather's funeral. When she was thrown out of Shen Garden by the bodyguards, she happened to fall at the feet of a noble lady, who was Lan Dai.

Although it was only one side, it was precisely based on that side that Jiang Huashan had no good impression of Lan Dai, because she always remembered that when Lan Dai looked at her, her eyes were full of pity, and she sighed and said, "How pitiful," and then stepped directly over her legs.

Later, she moved to Xiaoshen Garden and no longer mingled with the ladies, while Lan Dai became the new favorite among the noble ladies because she had the support of the old lady of the Gu family.

Later, she became engaged to Shen Qingyu, but after Shen Qingyu's death, she never heard from Lan Dai again.

Jiang Huashan seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of Shen Qingyu.

She clearly remembered that Lan Dai first came to visit at her grandfather's funeral, so why did she appear earlier this time?

Is it because the node at the age of sixteen has changed?

Originally, Shen Jiao would be assassinated after Fu Sui'er's sixteenth birthday, but now she is still alive and well. Fu Jiaming would reach the peak of his life thanks to Shen Jiao's death, but the reality is just the opposite. Fu Jiaming is dead.

All these told her that the turning point at the age of sixteen must have secretly changed something?

The play will definitely not allow the plot to collapse. Lan Dai's early appearance must be the power of the play to correct the plot.

Thinking of this, Jiang Huashan's expression became a little more serious.

After being kicked out of the Shen family, she and Shen Qingyu had no contact at all except for the funeral. She only knew that Shen Qingyu was betrayed by the people closest to him and assassinated by his enemies and his body was sunk into the sea.

The closest person?

Jiang Huashan suddenly had an idea.

At that time, Shen Qingyu had already left the Gu family. Apart from Old Lady Gu, the person closest to him was probably his then-fiancée.

Could it be... that it was Lan Dai who betrayed Shen Qingyu?

"Shanshan? What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Huashan was thinking all the way, and her mind was still focused when she turned into the main hall. Fu Suier noticed that something was wrong with her and gently pulled her hand.

Shenzhuang had received the news that Old Lady Gu was coming to visit, so they specially set up a family dinner in the main hall. The dishes were all served, and the table was ready for the guests.

Old Mrs. Gu walked forward with a smile and greeted Shen Zhuang, and while speaking, she introduced Gu Yuzhu and Lan Dai.

Needless to say, Gu Yuzhu grew up in the care of Old Madam Gu, and her manners and upbringing are impeccable. What's rare is that Lan Dai also performed well, knowing how to act and being graceful. Even Shen Zhuang praised her repeatedly.

At the banquet, it was mostly Shen Zhuang and Old Madam Gu talking, Shen Jiao helped serve the dishes to the old man, and the younger ones ate their own food.

After dinner, the table was cleared. The old lady smiled and looked around at the younger generation of the Gu family. "No wonder people say that the Shen family owns half of the proud families in Jinggang Harbor. You are so lucky, old man."

It is said that grandparents are closer than grandchildren. When Shen Zhuang heard the old lady praising the younger generation, he did not refuse, "It's still their own efforts."

Lan Dai looked at everyone in the Shen family carefully. She originally thought that Jiang Huashan and Shen Qingyu were exceptions in the Shen family, but when she saw Shen Lanxi and Shen Guiling, she finally understood why the Lan family, although the richest family in Xiwan, could only be called a prosperous family. The foundation of the Shen family was indeed different from that of the wealthy families. There were three proud people in the family, which was something that ordinary families could not even dream of.

Old Mrs. Gu nodded and responded a few times before finally getting to the point.

"I heard everything about yesterday from Ah Zhu. I came here today to personally thank you and the other girls. If it weren't for them, Ah Zhu would have suffered."

Shen Zhuang turned to look at Shen Mianzhi, who smiled and replied, "Grandma Gu, you're too polite. Sisters should take care of each other. If it were Cousin Gu in the same situation, she would definitely not sit idly by."

Gu Yuzhu nodded. "Yes, grandma, it all comes down to that Bai Tina who went too far. My brooch is missing, so I asked Helalei a few questions and she accused me of insulting people. She even deliberately said that her amulet had fallen off. She's totally mentally ill."

Lan Dai's eyes flickered, and she gently nudged Gu Yuzhu's arm, then continued with a smile, "Last night, when I first arrived at Jinggang Harbor, I didn't expect to encounter something like this. I was completely terrified. But Miss Mianzhi remained calm in the face of danger. Even when she was robbed and pointed at her head, she acted as if nothing had happened. It really opened my eyes."

Shen Mianzhi smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated. I was actually so scared that I didn't dare to move."

Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and laughed.

Old Madam Gu glanced at Lan Dai and said with a smile, "We can't just brush this off with a simple thank you. It just so happens that the Gu family's resort hotel in the north district is now open for trial operation. How about I, an old lady, treat you and take the children out for some fun?"

What is there to do at the resort?

Shen Qingyu was not interested and was about to refuse, but the old lady seemed to know what he wanted to say and deliberately frowned, "Don't say no. I've already inquired about it. You completed your mission ahead of schedule, and the school specially rewarded you with a week's vacation."

Shen Qingyu, "..."

Jiang Huashan took a sip of water silently.

Shen Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Okay, we two old people are just chatting, you don't have to accompany us, go out and play."

After hearing this, the younger generations stood up and left the main hall.
