"Young Madam, are you trying to introduce me to a girlfriend?" Nan Xiangdong asked.
"Yes, what do you think of this girl?" Lan Yuxi replied.
"She's a good girl, but she's not someone I can even dream of. She's Prime Minister Zheng's granddaughter."
Lan Yuxi shot a disappointed look at Lan Musi before saying to Nan Xiangdong on the phone, "Xiangdong said the girl is Prime Minister Zheng's granddaughter. You know her, why don't you?"
"Prime Minister Zheng's family wasn't in the capital before he took office. I had a car accident less than a week after he took office."
"Oh." The thought of him being in a coma brought a pang to Lan Yuxi's heart.
"How do you have her photo?"
"She was the female lead last night."
Although Lan Yuxi didn't explain much, Nan Xiangdong understood.
"Before things escalate, find Ming Zicheng. He's the only one who can resolve this."
"Mhm. I'll hang up first; I have more questions for Xiangdong."
"Okay, if you can't handle it, tell me. There's no problem that money can't solve."
"Okay." Lan Yuxi hung up and sent another photo to Nan Xiangdong.
"Xiangdong, do you recognize this girl?"
"This is Prime Minister Zheng's granddaughter. Young Madam, did something happen?"
"Nothing, thank you."
"You're the Mistress; there's no need to thank me. Just give me any orders."
"We're not master and servant; we're friends. I have to say thank you. I have to go; I have some things to handle."
"Okay."
Lan Yuxi closed the chat box and looked at Lan Musi with a frown. "Lan the second, you've stirred up a hornet's nest!"
Lan Musi rubbed his nose. "I'll take responsibility."
"Responsibility my foot! I'm here for you!" Lan Yuxi rolled her eyes at him. "I have class later. I'll arrange lunch with Er Wan, and you'll come with me."
"Forget it. I'll only embarrass you. I'll go find her myself."
"What will you say when you get there?"
"I haven't thought about it yet."
"You're so honest!" Lan Yuxi tidied her desk. "Think about it carefully. We'll meet Er Wan at noon and then decide what to do."
"..."
Lan Yuxi glanced at him and picked up her phone, dialing.
"Er Wan, are you free at noon? Let's have lunch."
"Sure! I was just about to ask you too!" Ming Zicheng replied readily.
Lan Yuxi was slightly taken aback. "You're agreeing so quickly; you must have some ulterior motive! Tell me, are you being forced into another blind date and want me to be your shield?"
"Not at all! I just miss you."
"Miss me? We were drinking together last night, and you miss me already?"
"Really! We didn't finish talking yesterday."
"Alright, I believe your tall tale. You pick the place; I'll pay."
"Dihao? Wouldn't that be too extravagant? How about we go to Liu Wan's place?"
Lan Yuxi curled her lips. "If we go to Liu Wan's, wouldn't that make him spend a lot of money?"
Ming Zicheng laughed. "We're closest to him, so who else should we 'skin' but him?"
"Good idea! I'll bring my second brother over after class."
"Alright. See you there!"
Lan Yuxi pouted and hung up the phone. "I'm going to be used by that scoundrel Er Wan again."
"If you don't want to be used, then we won't go."
"He's your last resort; we have to go. At most, I'll play the bad guy and ruin his blind date."
Lan Musi sighed. He never expected that the girl who spent a crazy night with her would have such a powerful background.
At noon, Lan Yuxi drove Lan Musi to Xiao Hetang.
Seeing the siblings arrive, Liu Wan quickly came out to greet them.
"Senior Sister, I'm telling you, Second Senior Brother has schemed against you again. You can still turn back now."
Lan Yuxi raised an eyebrow. "Whose daughter is it this time?"
"A new face, I haven't seen her before, but she seems quite imposing, with several bodyguards."
"I've drawn the short straw." Lan Yuxi sighed. "Let's go."
Lan Musi followed dejectedly.
Liu Wan called out from behind, "Senior Sister, are you sure you want to go?"
"Mhm," Lan Yuxi replied, looking back.
"Then I'll cook some of your favorite dishes for you."
"Just make me sweet and sour pork." Lan Yuxi led Lan Musi to the private room where they often met.
Before they could get close, two bodyguards stepped forward to block their way.
Lan Yuxi, her face cold, slapped each of them. "Scram!"
The two bodyguards were stunned and stood there, holding their faces.
The other four bodyguards were taken down by the Lan family's hidden security before they could even rush forward.
Lan Yuxi sneered and kicked open the door.
Ming Zicheng looked over with a smile, while the girl sitting opposite him glared furiously at Lan Yuxi as she entered.
When Lan Yuxi saw the girl's face, she frowned slightly.
Lan Musi also froze. Isn't this that short girl surnamed Wang!
"Wang Jiaojiao?"
Wang Jiaojiao arrogantly raised her sharp chin. "It's good you know who I am! Get out quickly, don't disturb me with my business!"
Lan Yuxi kicked her chair away.
Wang Jiaojiao fell to the ground with a thud.
"You! Bodyguards..."
"Your bodyguards have been dealt with. Even if you scream your lungs out, it's useless! Beep beep..."
Before Lan Yuxi could finish speaking, Ying's call came in.
Lan Yuxi pressed the answer button and then the speakerphone.
"What have you found out?"
"Prime Minister Zheng's wife and Madam Ming were discussing a marriage alliance between their families. Madam Ming favored Zheng Peipei. Wang Jiaojiao found out and tricked Zheng Peipei into a bar, drugged her, and arranged two male escorts for her. However, Mr. Luo was in a hurry to drink at Half Mountain Villa last night and mistakenly sent Mr. Si into that room. Coincidentally, those two are still at the police station because of the drugs and didn't make it to that hotel."
"Okay, I understand."
Lan Yuxi hung up and looked coldly at the now-stunned Wang Jiaojiao.
Wang Jiaojiao met her icy gaze and stammered for a long time before speaking. "Who exactly are you, and why are you framing me with a fabricated story?"
"Who do you think you are? Do I have the time to frame you?" Lan Yuxi glanced at her. "Do you think hiring a professional can completely destroy that recording? Don't I have evidence to accuse you? Wang Jiaojiao, please remember my name, I am Lan Yuxi, and convey my name to whoever is helping you!"
Lan Yuxi then looked at Ming Zicheng. "Call Prime Minister Zheng. I want justice for my second brother!"
Lan Musi smirked and looked over. He realized his sister had the ability to twist facts.
