Chapter 4 The Principal and the Concubine
When she signed the contract, she was only 15 years old, and her family was poor. She hadn't been in junior high school for a few days, so she was forced to go home to work.
I can't read all the words, let alone read the contract.
"How not?"
The people from the legal department hastily said: "Yes, this clause has been there from the beginning, Special Assistant Lan, think about it, Mr. Sheng paid your father 300 million at the beginning, and you spent the past seven years on food, lodging, and school. Boss Sheng has a lot of money, if the fee is not paid, then Boss Sheng will be thankful."
Sheng Jingyi was just reviewing the documents calmly, without even looking up.
Lan Xingruo bit his lip, which is also reasonable.
"Then how much do I have to pay?"
The people from the legal department immediately took out a thick stack of bills.
"Special Assistant Lan, since you followed Mr. Sheng, all the expenditure details are here, and the total is 10854876.78."
"Wipe a zero for you, let's say 1000 million." Sheng Jingyi said lightly.
Lan Xingruo was a little dazed looking at the bill.
It turned out that at the beginning, Sheng Jingyi recorded every expenditure she made.
For Sheng Jingyi, from the very beginning they were just a transaction, a sale.
Between them, that's all.
Lan Xingruo's heart hurt like a needle prick.
Sheng Jingyi is worthy of being a businessman, and businessmen never do business at a loss.
Lan Xingruo tried hard to hold back, not letting his tears fall.
No, she can't cry.
"If you can't hand it in..."
"Mr. Sheng, I will hand over the money on time." Lan Xingruo sniffed and raised his head.
The two spoke almost at the same time.
Sheng Jingyi raised his eyes to look at Lan Xingruo, his beautiful eyes were icy cold.
He knew that if Lan Xing had no money, if Lan Xing was his special assistant, but she had no salary, she had a secondary card of his, which she could swipe at will.
She is not short of money to spend, but if she wants to take money out, I am afraid that she will not have a penny.
"What if you can't hand it in?" The man's cold voice came again.
"If you can't hand it in, you will do as stated in the contract, and it will be automatically extended until I hand it in."
"Do well for the rest of the month and go out."
Lan Xingruo bowed to Sheng Jingyi, and then quickly left the office.
She hid in the bathroom, tears still falling down.
For seven years, she liked him for seven years and loved him for seven years.
Turns out she was nothing.
Lan Xingruo sniffed, she swore this was the last time she shed tears for Sheng Jingyi!
She wants to leave him and start her own life.
But 1000 million, where can she find 1000 million?
In her mind, a person appeared.
She followed Sheng Jingyi, but she didn't really have a social circle. The people in Sheng Jingyi's circle were either rich or expensive, and they didn't like her.
The only person she knew who could lend her 1000 million was him.
Tomorrow is the weekend, and she just happened to be able to visit him.
Lan Xingruo touched up her makeup and walked out of the bathroom, just in time to see Cheng Xu.
"Special Assistant Lan, are you here? This is for you." Cheng Xu took an ointment and handed it to Lan Xingruo.
"This is……"
"Didn't your foot hurt? This is an exclusive secret formula, which is very easy to use."
"Thank you." Lan Xingruo smiled at Cheng Xu.
Inexplicably receiving the warmth from her colleagues, her heart is also warm.
Early the next morning, Lan Xingruo felt dizzy, but she had to cheer up and make breakfast for Sheng Jingyi.
Sheng Jingyi ate breakfast slowly, Lan Xingruo was a little anxious, and looked at the clock from time to time.
Generally speaking, Sheng Jingyi would go back to Sheng's house on weekends to accompany the old lady, who was Sheng Jingyi's grandma.
In the entire Sheng family, only the old lady was the only person Sheng Jingyi respected.
"Blue Xingruo."
"Ok?"
"You will come back to Sheng's house with me in a while."
"Ah?" Lan Xingruo was stunned for a moment, she has something to do soon!
"What? Do you have something to do?" Sheng Jingyi raised his eyes and glanced at Lan Xingruo.
"No." Lan Xingruo bit his lip.
Sheng Jingyi never took her back to the Sheng family, even though everyone in the Sheng family knew of his existence.
He would take her back only occasionally when he had something to do, and he always went there in a hurry.
I don't know what is the intention of taking her back to the Sheng family this time.
Lan Xingruo had no choice but to follow Sheng Jingyi back to Sheng's house.
As soon as he entered the door, Lan Xingruo immediately understood Sheng Jingyi's intention.
Qiao Yucen was here.
When they entered, Qiao Yucen was talking with the old lady Bai Zhi, the two of them were very close.
Qiao Yucen is worthy of being the No. 1 lady in Kyoto, and her gestures are dignified and elegant. Even when she sees Lan Xingruo, she smiles with a great demeanor.
If Lan Xing stood aside, he always felt that he was out of place, but he couldn't find any reason to leave.
At lunch, the old lady said that she was not very hungry, so she went back to her room to rest.
But Lan Xingruo thinks that this is the old lady giving the two young people a chance to get in touch.
Sheng Jingyi was sitting at the head of the table, Qiao Yucen was sitting next to him, and Lan Xingruo was standing, feeling more and more redundant.
This reminded her of the principal wife and concubine in ancient times.
It is said that the concubine is the servant of the main house. They eat while sitting, but you stand and watch and serve.
Lan Xingruo maintained a calm expression, but he hated such a scene in his heart.
It's more about loathing yourself.
If Lan Xing saw that Sheng Jingyi's soup bowl was empty, he picked up Sheng Jingyi's bowl and prepared to go to the kitchen.
Qiao Yucen looked up at Lan Xingruo, "Mr. Lan, can you add a bowl of soup for me?"
Lan Xingruo was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Sheng Jingyi when he saw Qiao Yucen's smiling face.
Sheng Jingyi was chewing slowly, "Not yet."
Lan Xingruo immediately nodded towards Qiao Yucen, then took Qiao Yucen's bowl together and went to the kitchen to fill a bowl of soup.
But she was so blocked in her heart that she really regarded her as a slave!
Two bowls of soup were served and placed on a tray.
Lan Xingruo was angry, when she saw the salt shaker in the kitchen, she picked up a spoonful and put it into the bowl.
"What are you doing?" A cold voice came from behind.
The hairs on Lan Xingruo's back stood up.
Sheng Jingyi shouldn't have seen the fact that he added salt to the bowl just now, right?
That was his beloved fiancée!
Lan Xingruo turned around silently, "It's a little hot, Mr. Sheng."
"Hurry up and bring it over, don't make Miss Qiao wait in a hurry."
"Yes." Lan Xingruo hurried to the dining table with the soup.
The bowl of soup with salt was passed to Sheng Jingyi, and the other bowl was given to Qiao Yucen.
Qiao Yucen was very satisfied, and said "thank you" to Lan Xingruo.
Lan Xingruo kept staring at Sheng Jingyi, hoping that he would drink the soup quickly.
But Sheng Jingyi said: "Your bowl of soup has too little ingredients, here is this bowl for you." He said and handed his soup to Qiao Yucen.
Qiao Yucen was ecstatic, everyone said that Sheng Jingyi was as cold as an ice lump, isn't that kind of considerate?
She picked up the spoon and took a sip, which almost sent her away.
too salty!
Lan Xingruo was secretly refreshed, and originally wanted to punish Sheng Jingyi, but Sheng Jingyi felt sorry for his fiancée, so instead he punished her, which was also interesting.
A servant came over, "Special Assistant Lan, the old lady told you to come over."
