813 Seeking for Trouble

Grandma was displeased and could not help herself by saying, “Since it’s locked up, there’s no need to clean it. You’re a clerk, not a cleaner.”

“Grandma,” Shen Hanxing’s voice was calm and emotionless. She interrupted her grandma’s unfinished sentence and shook her head gently. Thus, grandma suppressed the anger in her heart and swallowed the rest of her words.

Qiao Xi was either nervous, or on high alert, so she didn’t notice her grandma’s strange behavior. Her hands were clasped, and her fingers moved around unconsciously, twisting into a knot. Her eyes were fixed on the ground in front of her. Her voice was deliberately high-spirited and cheerful, a little harsh. “It’s fine. We always clean up the s.p.a.ce. I’m also grateful to Mrs. Ji for giving me this opportunity. I also want to do more for the foundation. I’m happy to do the cleanings.”

If Qiao Xi knew how to be grateful, why would she probe to get to a place that was off-limits to outsiders? Shen Hanxing’s eyes turned cold, and she started to get angry. She didn’t care about Qiao Xi’s decision but was mad at her for scheming before her grandma. Qiao Xi knew that her grandma was old and had heart disease, but she didn’t even consider if her grandma would be upset or if she could take it. Did Qiao Xi not consider that? No! She just didn’t care. Her grandma had always treated her well and never like a nanny, but she still chose to do this.

“Since you want to go, then go.” Shen Hanxing sneered, and her long eyelashes covered the coldness in her eyes. “The key is in the finance department. You can just go over and ask for it. Just tell them that I permitted you to enter.”

Qiao Xi immediately jumped for joy and nodded while suppressing her excitement. “Mrs. Ji, don’t worry. I’ll clean your office until it’s spotless!”

Shen Hanxing smiled and said nothing more.

“Alright, I’m tired,” Grandma’s interest waned. She said indifferently, “I’m going upstairs to rest. You guys should rest too.”

Shen Hanxing looked at her grandma worriedly. “Grandma…” Did Qiao Xi’s incident affect grandma’s mood after all? This made Shen Hanxing feel a little guilty. She knew that Qiao Xi’s thoughts had been wavering and had impure thoughts. She should not have continued to let her be.

“It’s fine. I should take a nap too.” Grandma smiled at Shen Hanxing and said affectionately, “this is what happens when people get old. Grandma is already old.” She did not want to interfere in the young people’s affairs anymore.

Shen Hanxing understood her grandma’s unspoken words. She pursed her lips and said nothing.

“Old Madam, I’ll come and visit you next time!” Qiao Xi didn’t seem to notice grandma’s displeasure and continued to be excited. Her eyes shimmered with joy as she said, “I’ll bring you your favorite sesame cake next time.”

“I’m not in good health, so I can’t eat too much sweet stuff.” Grandma lowered her eyes and said indifferently, “focus on your work. You don’t have to come to visit me all the time. Work is more important.” Her att.i.tude towards Qiao Xi started to become distant and cold, but Qiao Xi was immersed in her thoughts and didn’t notice anything wrong. She smiled and left.

Qiao Xi had been caring for her grandma for a long time, so how could she not know when her grandma would take a walk? Shen Hanxing sneered and helped her grandma back to her room. “No one can stop a person from seeking trouble if she insists on going on. Grandma, you don’t have to feel sad about this.”

Grandma patted Shen Hanxing’s hand and did not say anything else.

As a patient hunter, Shen Hanxing had always been calm and organized. After a few days of peace, she received an invitation from Lu Feng and went to the Lu family’s house. The once luxurious Lu family villa was now tainted with lethargy and sadness. It was as if the entire building was shrouded in a gray mist that could not be removed, revealing an ominous atmosphere.

Shen Hanxing drooped her eyelashes. Her dark eyelashes covered the coldness in her eyes.

“Lu Feng, what’s the meaning of this?” Lu Guo’s eyes widened at Shen Hanxing’s appearance, and the veins on his forehead bulged. “You’ve brought outsiders to make fun of our family?”

“If the Lu Corporation falls, what benefits will you get?” Mrs. Lu seemed to have gone mad as well. She shrieked at Lu Feng, “Lu Feng, you’re just a piece of trash who lives on your shares and dividends! If we didn’t pity you, do you think you could still live such a good life? Without the Lu Corporation, you’re just a dog without a home to return to!”
