Chapter 129

Gu Huaian did not know what method he used, but the next day, Shen Tang received a message that she could go pick someone up.

When she arrived at the Shen family's door, Lan Sister had just been released by the Shen family.

Shen Tang jogged over, "Lan Sister, are you okay? Did they bully you?"

Shen Lan shook her head, "No."

It was just being locked up over and over again.

When she was young, she was very afraid of being locked in the little black room, but now that she had grown up, using that to deal with her was useless.

The steward's expression did not look very good, as if he was enduring anger.

He sent Shen Tang to the front gate and said, "Miss, instead of living a life of wealth and nobility, why do you insist on living such a bitter life?"

"I just like to suffer," Shen Tang replied.

"Humph, there is a saying that goes, 'rely on the mountain and the mountain will collapse, rely on the person and the person will run away.' I hope your mountain can always be there."

Shen Tang interjected, "Don't worry, even if you die, he won't collapse."

The steward was so angry that his beard stood on end and his eyes glared.

He really wanted to scold her, but was afraid to offend the Gu family, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow this humiliation.

"Haha, Miss Shen is joking."

"I'm not joking, I'm telling the truth. Looking at you, you must be seventy or eighty years old already. Working as a housekeeper at such an old age, tsk tsk, it must be tiring."

Steward: "..."

"Humph, sharp tongue."

"Well, I am a bit sharper than you, old man. Those teeth of yours must be dentures, right?"

Steward: Ahhhhhhhh!

I really want to sew up that mouth. What a pretty girl, but her words are so unpleasant!

He was afraid that he would die from anger if he kept talking, so he hurriedly turned and left.

Shen Tang made a grimace at his back.

Don't say she doesn't respect the elderly, she just couldn't respect this kind of person. Judging from his looks, he was not a good person.

Shen Tang stated this directly. Shen Lan looked at her in shock for a moment, "You can even read faces?"

"No, I just had a feeling. Lan Sister, don't you think he looks just like a villain's lackey?"

Shen Lan held back her laugh and nodded, "That's right, he is not a good person."

Although she had left home early, she still knew some inside information. The steward's hands were stained with blood.

However, the time was too long ago, and there was no evidence, so the matter could only be left unsettled.

Hearing this, Shen Tang frowned. "So did he bully you before?"

She had noticed earlier that although the steward addressed her as "Miss", he did not actually show any respect, and he did not go easy on Lan Sister either.

Shen Lan seemed to think of something, her face extremely ugly, but still shook her head with a smile, "It's all in the past."

In fact, when she was little, she had a very good relationship with the steward.

Since her parents did not pay much attention to her, with her father busy with work and her mother busy shopping, it was just her and the steward at home.

At that time, she truly respected him as an elder.

Until he stretched out his sinful hands towards her...

Shen Lan blinked. Fortunately, it was all in the past, and she had completely moved on.

However, she would not let this old guy off the hook. She would let him enjoy for a while first.

Shen Tang sensitively sensed that Lan Sister was hiding something from her, but she did not intend to get to the bottom of it. Judging from her expression, it was definitely not something good.

She hugged Shen Lan, "It's over now, it's all in the past. If they dare to bully you again in the future, I will hit them."

In her heart, Shen Tang weakly added: If I can't beat them, I'll ask Gu Huaian for help.

She understood very well about acting tough when you can't back it up. Anyway, no effort wasted, cough.

Shen Tang sent Shen Lan home and was about to leave when Shen Lan pulled her back.

"Do you want to meet my girlfriend?"

"Is that okay?"

"Why not?"

Shen Lan had few confidantes until she met Shen Tang, so she did not mind showing her weakness to her.

Following Shen Lan, Shen Tang saw a comatose person for the first time.

She had thought that comatose people would just lie still in bed. Later, she accidentally saw some science articles explaining that comatose people can move, laugh, eat, drink, pee and poop, they just don't have their own consciousness. Just thinking about it made Shen Tang feel sad.

Now, when she first saw Lan Sister's girlfriend, she had neat short hair and was very beautiful, a good match for Lan Sister.

When she saw Lan Sister, she curved her lips slightly and smiled.

Shen Lan walked over and kissed her cheek, "Did you miss me while I was away?" Naturally there was no answer.

There were usually high-end caregivers here, but Lan Sister preferred to take care of her girlfriend herself.

As Shen Tang watched her help her girlfriend wash her face, brush her teeth, change her clothes and eat, her eyes grew hot.

Perhaps this was true love, unconstrained by gender.

"I wasn't naturally gay, I just happened to fall for someone of the same sex," said Shen Lan.

She looked at Shen Tang, "Accidents and tomorrow are unpredictable, so I hope you can cherish the present and every day you have with your loved one."

Shen Tang pursed her lips. Although she and Lan Sister were close, she still could not say her biggest secret.

"Our situations are a bit different."

Shen Lan's movements paused for a moment. "Yes, they're different."

Shen Tang reacted and quickly explained, "Lan Sister, I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to say, Gu Huaian and I—"

"No need to explain, I understand. But I still hope that you two can be happy together. I've known him for many years too, and this is the first time I've seen him so serious."

Shen Tang nodded. "When he comes back, I will forgive him."

It was just mind reading anyway, no big deal, just a bit embarrassing.

Shen Tang tried hard to reassure herself, but it was useless.

Mind reading was quite scary after all, boo hoo hoo...

She could only hope that Gu Huaian really found the master and completely resolved this problem.

It was not until dusk that Shen Tang returned home, only to find her family sitting on the sofa waiting for her.

Shen Tang had the urge to run away. She carefully recalled and was sure she didn't do anything, right?

Her uncle lightly coughed. "Tangtang, why are you only coming back now?"

"I went to a friend's house."

"Oh oh, nothing happened on the road, right?"

"Nope." Shen Tang was a little confused. She really didn't encounter anything on the way.

Seeing that her uncle was beating around the bush, her aunt became impatient and asked directly: "Tangtang, do you know Second Young Master Zhou?"

Shen Tang looked at Shen Yu first. Seeing that he was also confused, her heart tightened for a moment.

"I do, I'm sorry, I—"

Her aunt nodded knowingly. "No wonder his mother wants to meet you."

Shen Tang was speechless halfway through her sentence. "Huh?"

Second Young Master Zhou's mother wanted to meet her?
