Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The next day, Shen Lan decided to look for Shen Xiu.

“Hmm? What brings you here?” Shen Xiu was surprised to see Shen Lan in the waiting room.

Shen Lan was languishing on a sofa. She hesitated before asking, “Uncle, what do you think of Liu Sheng?”

Shen Xiu was confused. “What do you mean?”

Shen Lan rarely approached him so seriously. Something significant must have happened between her and Liu Sheng.

When he recalled Shen Lan’s refusal of Liu Sheng’s visit a few days ago, Shen Xiu spoke up. “I only know her as your friend. How I treat her depends on what you think of her.”

Shen Lan’s heart instantly warmed up. Her dearest uncle was indeed unconditionally on her side.

“If I suddenly find her unlikable, would you call me a disloyal friend, Uncle?” Shen Lan asked. She was already aware of the answer. Shen Xiu smiled. “You can’t just suddenly find someone unlikable.”

He walked over and sat next to Shen Lan. “What happened?”

Shen Lan remained silent. She was unsure of how to explain herself.

Currently, there was no concrete evidence pointing to Liu Sheng. The events she knew from her previous life would only occur in the future.

Moreover, there were significant differences between this life and the previous one. It was difficult for her to explain herself based on future predictions.

Shen Xiu reassured her, “If you don’t want to tell me the reason, I won’t ask. But you can always trust me. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Shen Lan let out a sigh. She found it challenging to admit that her best friend had betrayed her.

She had once believed that Liu Sheng was the bestest friend that the world could possibly give her. She was capable; she had a good character and personality. However, the lessons from her previous life had completely shattered her perception. It turned out that Liu Sheng was filled with ambition, calculations, and schemes. She did not have the slightest bit of genuine sincerity for their friendship.

“I may not be able to tell you the reason now, but I want to look into Liu Sheng’s activities. Uncle, can you help me?” Shen Lan raised her head and asked earnestly.

Shen Xiu nodded. “Of course, I’ll help you with whatever you want.”

Although he deigned not to probe Shen Lan further, he already had his own thoughts.

Liu Sheng must have done something to deeply disappoint Shen Lan. It was the only plausible reason for her sudden change in attitude.

Moreover, this was not a simple quarrel; it must have crossed Shen Lan’s boundaries.

In fact, Shen Xiu never once a favorable impression of Liu Sheng.

When Shen Lan first introduced Liu Sheng to him, Shen Xiu could already sense her manipulative side.

However, it didn’t matter. Shen Lan had been pampered to the point of being unruly. It did not bother him to see her having such a superficial friend. After all, a facade would reveal itself with time to come.

As long as she treated Shen Lan well on the surface, Shen Xiu could live with it. He did not mind it even if she wanted to use Shen Lan’s connections to broaden her horizons and expand her network.

He simply considered it payment for her friendship with Shen Lan.

But now, it seemed that Liu Sheng meant more than that. She must have crossed Shen Lan’s boundaries.

Shen Xiu adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and inquired cautiously, “What do you want to investigate?”

Shen Lan recounted the incident with the bouquet of flowers from the production team, but concealed the fact that Luo Ying and the team were in on it as well.

“Lin Jin gave this bouquet to me. Liu Sheng got to know Lin Jin because of me. But something tells me that Liu Sheng was behind all of this.”

Shen Lan was feeling nervous. This was the first time she had ever lied to Shen Xiu. She couldn’t help but lean against Shen Xiu’s arm and act like a pampered little girl as she always had. “I know these suspicions may not have a basis, but Uncle, I just know it!”

Shen Xiu was baffled by Shen Lan’s actions. Didn’t she realize how much she had grown? They were no longer just an uncle and his little niece; they were now a man and a woman.

Shen Lan grabbed him even tighter. He could even feel the softness against his arm.

D*mn it, who taught her to wear a V-neck dress?!

Shen Xiu froze up. He sighed to himself and calmly moved away.

“Uncle, do you believe me? Now that Lin Jin is missing, Liu Sheng is even more suspicious!” Shen Lan remained oblivious and even moved closer.

Veins started bulging on Shen Xiu’s forehead. He replied, “I understand. I will investigate..”
