“Ah!” Lan Yudie exclaimed, suddenly feeling suffocated by the immense force pushing her back. The rapid acceleration seemed to press her firmly into her seat, rendering her unable to move.
Xiao Han’s lips curled into a smug smile.
As Lan Yudie was firmly pressed against the seat, her full chest heaved up and down. She covered her chest with her hands, seemingly white as lotus roots, afraid that her ample bosom might be accidentally exposed. When Lan Yudie noticed Xiao Han snickering, she angrily said, “You jerk, did you do that on purpose?”
“I didn’t, I swear!” Xiao Han quickly shook his head.
“Still denying it!” Lan Yudie glared at Xiao Han.
They arrived at Hanmen Restaurant. The car came to a stop.
Lan Yudie looked at Xiao Han with confusion and asked, “Xiao Han, why are we here?”
“We have business, of course,” replied Xiao Han. “Today, you just need to speak less and listen more.”
With that, Xiao Han casually took Lan Yudie’s smooth hand and walked into the restaurant. Lan Yudie felt a wave of shyness inside. She struggled slightly, but Xiao Han’s firm grip on her hand left her no choice but to follow him into the restaurant.
“Xiao Han, you’re here?” Yang Lu greeted them excitedly. However, her excited expression quickly turned sober.
“Sister Yang, this is...” Xiao Han hesitated, not sure how to introduce her, and simply said, “She’s my friend. I brought her here today...”
“Hello!” Yang Lu said politely with a glance at Lan Yudie, then spoke, “Mr. Zhang is waiting upstairs.”
“Mhm!” Xiao Han nodded.
After speaking, Xiao Han led Lan Yudie upstairs. Yang Lu led the way.
The moment Lan Yudie saw Yang Lu, she knew that this woman had feelings for Xiao Han. It was undoubted that a woman’s intuition was very strong. Lan Yudie took Xiao Han’s hand and whispered into his ear, “What is she to you?”
“You could say she’s a colleague,” Xiao Han chuckled.
“Really?” Lan Yudie looked at Xiao Han with suspicion.
“Of course!” Xiao Han nodded.
They reached the third floor. Yang Lu pushed open the office door and ushered Xiao Han and Lan Yudie inside. As Lan Yudie brushed past Yang Lu, Yang Lu’s gaze swept over her, appraising her from top to bottom. In the end, she felt that she just couldn’t compare with Lan Yudie, not in looks nor in figure.
“Mr. Zhang, this is Director Xiao from our Hanmen Restaurant,” Yang Lu hurriedly introduced.
In the office, an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a cheap suit, with not much hair left but neatly combed, expressed his surprise upon seeing Xiao Han, “I never imagined, really never imagined that the owner of Hanmen Restaurant would be so young!”
“Ah!” Lan Yudie gasped. She quickly turned to Xiao Han and said, “Xiao Han, you... you’re the owner of Hanmen Restaurant?!”
Xiao Han gave Lan Yudie a look and whispered, “We’ll talk about this later; I’m here to discuss official business today.”
Lan Yudie hastily covered her flushed lips, unable to believe what she was hearing. Who would have thought that Xiao Han was the owner of Hanmen Restaurant, that this seemingly plain guy was such a big boss? Lan Yudie could hardly believe her eyes.
“Alright.” Xiao Han nodded and turned to Yang Lu, “Sister Yang, go prepare the contract for him, let’s rent this place right now.”
Mr. Zhang, who initially planned to negotiate a transfer fee of over a hundred thousand, swallowed his words. After all, the rent had already been raised, and regarding the transfer fee, it was none of the landlord’s concern. If he rashly broached the subject of the transfer fee, would it annoy Xiao Han? If Xiao Han became unhappy, it might become difficult to rent out his property. Indeed, given the current situation, it was already hard enough to find a tenant.
“Yes!” Yang Lu nodded.
Soon, the rental contract was printed out. Old Mr. Zhang glanced at it, then signed his name on the lessor’s line and stamped his hand seal. Xiao Han didn’t hesitate either; he paid six months’ rent in one go. Old Mr. Zhang left Hanmen Restaurant with a beaming smile and a hefty sum of money.
“Xiao Han, I really didn’t expect this!” Lan Yudie looked at Xiao Han in astonishment.
“Teacher Lan, actually... I’ve always wanted to tell you, but I didn’t know how,” Xiao Han said awkwardly to Lan Yudie, then continued, “So, don’t blame me.”
“What do I have to blame you for?” Lan Yudie snorted and said, “A student entrepreneur and a business prodigy at that, I should be happy. Why should I blame you?”
“You really think so?” Xiao Han chuckled.
“Of course!” Lan Yudie nodded.
“That’s good!” Upon hearing this, Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief.
“However...” Lan Yudie’s tone suddenly changed, “Why did you lie to me!”
“What did I lie to you about?” Xiao Han’s expression hardened.
“The BMW Car is yours, you also know Mo Shaocong, and...” Lan Yudie narrowed her eyes and said, “all those tall tales you told at my class reunion were true. But why did you lie to me?!”
“I...” Xiao Han was stunned, not expecting Lan Yudie to dig up all these things.
The ancients were right, one lie requires countless others to cover up the gaps left by the previous one. Xiao Han looked at a loss and awkwardly said, “Teacher Lan, this... it’s not my fault, actually, I didn’t want it to be like this. Do you understand?”
“I understand!” Lan Yudie chuckled coldly, a shadow crossing her lips as she said, “So, this is your reason for deceiving me?”
“This...” Xiao Han didn’t know how to respond.
“Let me ask you, why did you speak that way when Liu Bin was confessing to me?” Lan Yudie narrowed her eyes and said, “Don’t you like me or did you do it on purpose to embarrass me in front of so many people?”
“That’s not true at all.” Xiao Han quickly shook his head.
“Then explain it to me clearly,” Lan Yudie said through gritted teeth, staring at Xiao Han.
“I...” Xiao Han looked helplessly at Lan Yudie and said, “Actually, I have my own predicament.”
“What predicament could you have?!” Lan Yudie said disdainfully, crossing her arms, pushing up her proud chest provocatively. However, Xiao Han had no desire or lewd thoughts at that moment. He was simply focused on appeasing Lan Yudie.
