Chapter 222: Purpose


Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations


Li Ran said very seriously, “Uncle, Zhou Liu is a programmer. If you really have software problems, you can ask him for help.”


Li Ci laughed at his niece for her silliness. The company had rules, so how could Zhou Liu help him?


However, Li Ci indeed needed Zhou Liu’s help with some matters.


“Alright, 1 understand. Go to bed now. Wake up early tomorrow and accompany me somewhere,” Li Ci said.


Li Ran asked curiously, “Where are we going?”


Li Ci kept her in suspense. “You’ll know tomorrow. Go to bed now.”


“Oh.”


After s.h.i.+ Xiao and Lin Xi ate together, s.h.i.+ Xiao planned to get Zhao Cheng to send Lin Xi home. Lin Xi bit her lower lip with a pitiful expression as she gently tugged at s.h.i.+ Xiao’s clothes.


Lin Xi had something to say to s.h.i.+ Xiao, so she invited him for a meal. Unexpectedly, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Mian also came. She and s.h.i.+ Xiao were sitting diagonally opposite each other, so they didn’t have the chance to talk properly at all. It was very quiet, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.


Now that s.h.i.+ Xiao had asked Zhao Cheng to send her back, if she went back today, she didn’t know when she would see s.h.i.+ Xiao again. Lin Xi could only tug at s.h.i.+ Xiao’s clothes to arouse his sympathy.


When they were in Africa, Lin Xi saved s.h.i.+ Xiao and Zhao Cheng and took good care of them for more than a month before treating his injuries. However, s.h.i.+ Xiao never had the chance to take good care of her when he brought her back to the country. He was so busy that he didn’t even have time to see her. Thus, s.h.i.+ Xiao felt a little apologetic and guilty.


Hence, s.h.i.+ Xiao compromised and instructed Zhao Mian, “Let’s stop here for today. Let Zhao Cheng send you back.”


Zhao Mian was a little worried that today’s data would come out after ten at night. s.h.i.+ Xiao’s original plan was to wait in the office for the data to come out. Now that he was delayed by Lin Xi, Zhao Mian was afraid that the time would be too tight.


Hence, Zhao Mian asked, “What about the data?”


Upon hearing this, s.h.i.+ Xiao frowned. He wasn’t someone who would be delayed by other things. However, today’s situation was special. In addition, he hadn’t had a good rest for a long time, so he might as well give himself a break and let Tan Jing off the hook for the time being.


“We’ll deal with it tomorrow morning. Give me a plan based on the data as soon as possible.”


As s.h.i.+ Xiao’s private secretary, Zhao Mian had a sense of propriety. Thus, she didn’t say anything else and called the private chauffeur. After arranging this, Zhao Mian left with Zhao Cheng.


Zhao Cheng was also worried, but it was inappropriate to say it in public, so he could only ask Zhao Mian on the way back, “Sister, what do you think Miss Lin Xi has to tell Young Master in private?”


Zhao Mian was a woman, so she naturally knew a little about a woman’s mentality and could tell what Lin Xi wanted to do. She was just using the opportunity to enter the s.h.i.+ family.


She had seen too many people like her, so her tone was a little disdainful. “Who doesn’t want to go from rags to riches?”


Although Zhao Cheng felt that after they return, Lin Xi had changed compared to when she was in Africa, she was still their savior after all. He still couldn’t accept the fact that Lin Xi had ulterior motives towards s.h.i.+ Xiao.


“But when she was in Africa, she didn’t know our ident.i.ties at all and saved us. Perhaps she just wanted to ask Young Master for something that she needed?”


Zhao Cheng didn’t even believe it himself. If there was anything she needed, she could tell him directly. Zhao Cheng would definitely help her arrange it immediately. There was no need for Young Master to do anything.


Zhao Mian looked at her silly brother. He had good combat skills, but it was a pity that his EQ. and IQ. weren’t high. Could it be that she had taken away his intelligence when they were born? Was that why he was so silly?


Zhao Mian explained to him, “When people don’t have any conflicts of interest, it’s natural for them to treat someone well from the bottom of their hearts. However, after she returned to the country and found out about the young master’s ident.i.ty, how could she remain pure-hearted?”


Zhao Cheng nodded as if he understood, but he was even more confused.


Zhao Mian glanced at him indifferently. Perhaps it was because of her brother’s stupidity and sincerity that the young master kept him by his side and trusted him unconditionally..
