Chapter 400 Come to apologize
Chapter 400 Come to apologize
The four girls chatted about all sorts of things, and before they knew it, the sun had set.
Su Miao looked down at the time and stood up to say goodbye.
Jiang Huashan was not in a good condition, so she asked Shen Mianzhi to send her off. As soon as they walked out of the gate of Shen Garden, they saw a long black dragon lined up in the front yard.
The old lady of the Gu family was helped out of the car by her eldest son Gu Cifeng. Shen Zhi had been waiting outside the door early and immediately went to greet them when he saw them.
Following closely behind was a strange man in a suit and tie, with a slightly plump build. The man and Lan Dai got out of the car one after the other, with polite smiles on their faces.
Although Su Miao hadn't been at the Su family often in recent years, the old lady of the Gu family still knew her. She gently nudged Shen Mianzhi's arm and asked, "I heard that this North District Villa was personally organized by the grandmother of the Gu family?"
Shen Mianzhi nodded, pulled Su Miao forward and took the initiative to greet, "Grandma Gu, Uncle Gu."
The old lady smiled with a loving look on her face, "Is this Miss Mianzhi? She's getting prettier and prettier." Then she turned around and looked at Su Miao, "Oh, Miaomiao is here too."
The matter of the Su family's real and fake daughter caused a lot of uproar back then. Although no one said it on the surface, many people still looked down on Su Miao because of it, especially the wealthy ladies in the circle. Before Su Miao came of age, they all rushed to make her their daughter-in-law, but now that she has come of age, they avoid her.
There was nothing unusual about the old lady's familiar attitude.
Su Miao nodded politely, "Hello, Grandma Gu, Uncle Gu."
Gu Fengci nodded and said, "Give my regards to your father."
The middle-aged man behind him was slightly stunned. Mr. Gu is the chairman of the Judicial Supervision Council, but he is so polite to this girl.
Lan Dai saw her father's confusion and whispered in his ear, "Her father is Director Su of the State Council."
The man glanced down at his daughter, his smile growing even more earnest.
The Lan family can only stand here because of the Gu family. If it weren't for the Gu family's introduction, it would be difficult for them to interrupt rashly, so they could only smile more.
Su Miao politely replied, "Of course. It's getting late, Grandma Gu, Uncle Gu, I'm going back first."
Shen Mianzhi took the opportunity to continue the conversation, "I'll take you there."
The two nodded one by one. When their eyes turned to Lan Dai, Shen Mianzhi was still polite, but Su Miao simply rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Lan Dai looked a little embarrassed, but she quickly covered it up.
"Please come in, everyone." Seeing this, Shen Zhi took the initiative to lead the group into the garden.
Shen Mianzhi pulled Su Miao and the others into Shen Garden, a little puzzled, "You don't like Lan Dai?"
Su Miao, "It's not a matter of like or dislike, I just don't want to waste time dealing with it."
After two years of growth, she is no longer the reckless girl she used to be. Su Miao was able to determine the relationship between Lan Dai and the man with just one glance. Of course, she also saw the attentiveness in the man's eyes clearly.
These people simply wanted to use her to knock on the Su family's door. If she showed any kindness, it would bring endless trouble to herself. Therefore, that eye roll was purely to save trouble.
Shen Mianzhi understood immediately, smiled, and waved to call her driver, "It's so late, it's not safe to take a taxi, should I ask someone to take you home?"
Since Su Miao applied for the student-aid apartment, she moved out of the Su family. Shen Mianzhi guessed that with her personality and since she chose to be independent, she would definitely not rely on the Su family's resources anymore. She couldn't let Su Miao walk to the foot of the mountain and then take a taxi back.
Su Miao nodded in agreement.
The identity of a fake rich girl did not affect her attitude towards life, and she was not reluctant to accept the kindness of her friends.

On the other side, Shen Zhi led a group of people directly to Qinyuan according to Shen Zhuang's instructions.
Lan Xiangyang followed behind Old Lady Gu cautiously, and while looking around the garden he secretly gave Lan Dai a wink.
Lan Dai deliberately slowed down and looked at her father in confusion.
Lan Xiangyang carefully glanced forward and saw that Mrs. Gu was talking to Shen Zhi. He lowered his voice and asked in a very low voice, "Didn't you say that you are good friends with the daughter of the Su family?"
Lan Dai, "The Su family has two daughters. The one you just saw is the adopted daughter of the Su family, and the one I'm friends with is the real daughter of the Su family."
Hearing this, Lan Xiangyang slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they came out from behind the screen wall. The Lan family father and daughter thought that this was Mr. Shen's main courtyard. Just as they were about to tidy up their appearance, they saw workers digging the ground everywhere around the Langyuan pond.
The two were slightly stunned. The sun was about to set, but the masters showed no intention of stopping. They smashed the white marble bricks with a hammer.
Lan Xiangyang has always collected antiques and treasures, so he is quite knowledgeable about ancient buildings. From the moment he stepped into the gate of Shen Garden, he was shocked by the garden's profound heritage.
I thought I had reached the end after walking for more than ten minutes, but I didn't expect it was just an inner courtyard of the Nine-Curve Corridor.
Old Madam Gu looked over and asked, "Why would they just destroy this perfectly good corridor?"
Shen Zhi, "Old Madam, you don't know. Miss Jiang injured her leg this time, and the doctor told her to take good care of it. My father was worried that it would be inconvenient for Miss Jiang to travel, so he had all the steps and narrow paths in Shen Garden demolished. This will make it more convenient for Miss Jiang to visit the garden."
As soon as these words were spoken, the four people present had different expressions.
The person in charge of the North District Holiday Villa is the Lan family and the initiator is the Gu family. This time they came to give an explanation to the Shen family.
Lan Xiangyang was not in the Jinggang circle, so he didn't know Jiang Huashan's status in the Shen family. When he heard that the person injured was an adopted daughter of the Shen family, he was secretly happy. Fortunately, it was the young master or a direct relative of the Shen family. Now he suddenly heard that the old man demolished the garden for an adopted daughter, and he was a little confused for a while.
Could it be that the old man of the Shen family knew that they had come to apologize, and deliberately demolished the garden to give them a warning?
Mrs. Gu knew the inside story and avoided the important point, "The old man is as meticulous as dust."
"The noise is disturbing, please forgive me, old lady."
As he spoke, he arrived outside the Qinyuan Courtyard.
Garden within a garden?
Lan Xiangyang was secretly astonished. Even in Xiwan, building such a large-scale building and courtyard would be a remarkable feat. And in Jinggang, where every inch of land is valuable, the Shen family was indeed the most prestigious family in Country A.
"The old man is in the flower hall."
Passing the flower pond and lotus pond, there stands an ancient glass flower hall in the center of the corridor, which is filled with various rare and precious plants and the fragrance of flowers is pleasant.
Old Madam Gu led a group of people in. Without waiting for Shen Zhuang to stand up, she quickly walked to the main seat with a look of shame on her face.
"I heard about the burglary at the villa last night and was so scared I couldn't sleep all night. I shouldn't have come here to cause trouble at this time, but when I think about the two children who suffered because of my impulsive behavior, I feel uneasy if I don't come and see them."
Gu Cifeng stepped forward and gently supported the old lady's arm, saying respectfully, "Grandpa."
Lan Xiangyang and Lan Dai were a little embarrassed. "I hope Mr. Shen is fine."
Shen Zhuang nodded gently, "We've been dealing with each other for decades, why are you still so polite? Ah Ci, why don't you help your mother sit down? Guests are welcome, sit down and have some tea."
"Yes."
Gu Cifeng helped the old lady to take a seat. Lan Xiangyang observed carefully and waited until the two people from the Gu family sat down before carefully sitting at the last seat. Lan Dai hesitated for a moment and stood behind Lan Xiangyang.
The attack on the villa had nothing to do with the Gu family and the Lan family. Shenzhuang had no intention of making things difficult for the innocent and directly stated that the Shen family would not pursue the matter further.
Lan Xiangyang didn't expect the Shen family to be so easy to talk to, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
They had invested 2.5 million yuan in the North District project. If the Shen family stopped it because of this incident, the Lan family would not only lose all their money but also lose the qualification to enter the circle of fame and fortune in Jinggang.
The Shen family's willingness to show mercy is great news for the Lan family.
