Give Me Your Hands and Marry Me - Chapter 318

Chapter 318 A New Female Bodyguard
A Miao was not badly hurt, thanks to the good quality of her limo. If she had driven a middle-of-the-road car, her injuries could have been worse.

“Let me have a look.” Lan Lixiao was still not assured.

A Miao pulled her collar down a little, turned aside and said coyly, “Just some bruises.”

Although she said that, the big black bruises on her shoulder were still shocking to look at.

“Bruises all over the back?” Lan Lixiao tried to hold back his anger, but he could not get angry at his granddaughter, so he shouted at the doctor, “You still say it is not serious?”

The administrator said with some embarrassment, “It looks worse than it actually is, but there is nothing wrong with her bones and guts.”

“Does it hurt?” Lan Lixiao turned around to ask A Miao.

A Miao had a severe pain at her waist, but she did not dare to tell her grandfather.

She shook her head, but she did not say there was no pain. Because even an idiot would not believe it.

“It is all right, it is not so painful, it is just like falling down.”

Lan Lixiao’s face was serious and he said, “You should be kept under observation in the hospital for a few days.”

“Oh…” A Miao could do nothing but promise him, then she laid back and said with a smile, “Grandpa, I am fine. Don’t worry. Take care of yourself.”

“Take care of yourself too.” Lan Lixiao touched her head and said, “Stay here. Wenxuan will bring meals to you. I’ll send an auntie from home, later. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for you to be alone.”

A Miao listened obediently. Her obedience aroused his love, as well as his anger. After he stepped out of the hospital and got into the car, he asked immediately.

“What did the police say?”

Lan Hua and his son looked at each other. Then Lan Wenxuan said, “The police said it was an accident.

In the chaos caused by the truck, not only A Miao was hurt, but two other cars were even more badly damaged.

“However…” Lan Wenxuan hesitated for a while and said, “The car that rear-ended A Miao appears to be quite suspicious.”

Lan Lixiao’s eyes were blazing with anger. “Say it.”

“That car followed A Miao since she came out of the parking lot, then crashed directly into her car at the scene. According to the video, there were no other cars around him at the time to distract him.”

Lan Qin cut in, “You mean someone intentionally planned to crash into A Miao?”

“According to our analysis, yes.” Lan Wenxuan glanced at Lan Lixiao and said, “But apparently that person did not mean to kill A Miao. He just wanted to scare or warn her.

“No one dares to scare my granddaughter!” Lan Lixiao snorted and said, “Check again and find that person.”

Lan Qin said with a smile, “You can narrow the search to only those families. As for the others, they would not have dared to do so.”

“Is it the Li family?” After saying it, Lan Hua denied it, “But Li Rong can’t do this even if she is angry with A Miao.

That woman certainly knew how serious it was, otherwise, these two families would have been at war with each other.

At last there was no conclusion, so they had to wait until Lan Wenxuan checked it out.

“A Miao?” After the Lan family left, Ouyang Jin called her. “Are you okay? Hold on.”

The voice at the other end of the phone changed. “A Miao.”

“I am fine. Don’t worry. Don’t come here.” A Miao knew he was in a bad mood, when she heard his tone.

Shen Xinglan was estimating her condition by her voice. He was assured when he found her to be quite energetic.

“What did the doctor say?”

“Just some bruises.” A Miao said with a smile, “A slight bump on the shoulder.”

Shen Xinglan really wanted to visit her, but he knew it would endanger A Miao. It was hard, knowing his lover was lying in a hospital bed, but he could not go to her.

All this made him irritable.

After chatting with A Miao for a while, he urged her to go to sleep. Then he hung up and said to Ouyang Jin, “Shen I and my people can’t look into this matter. I need your help.”

“What’s wrong? Do you suspect it is not an accident?”

Shen Xinglan shook his head and said, “I want to check, whether it is or not.”

“No accident is allowed to be happen to A Miao” he thought.

“Miss Elder, time for dinner.” The auntie brought her meal to her in the evening. “Elder Master wanted to come, but he was dissuaded by Third Young Lady.”

A Miao expressed her thanks and said with a smile, “Tell grandpa that I am okay and there is no need for him to shuttle back and forth.”

In the house of the Li family

“How interesting! Lan Miao, the jewel of Lan family, was in a car accident.” Li Rong put down the newspaper, and said in a manner of taking delight in others’ misfortune, “Why is she still alive?”

Li Peng gave her a glance and said, “You can say it at home, but you’d better not say it outside.”

“I am not stupid!” Li Rong sneered.

“The Youngest Lady is back.”

Li Nian stepped in, in her high-heeled shoes. “Grandpa! aunt!”

Li Peng smiled and said, “Why are you back today?”

“I miss you, grandpa!” Li Nian gave him a hug.

Li Nian had lived by herself since she returned from her studies abroad. She usually came back home only on weekends.

“Such a sweet tongued girl!” Li Rong said, and pinched her face playfully.

Li Nian avoided her hands, smiling, and happened to see the headline in the newspaper.

“Hey? Who was in a car accident?”

“That one in the Lan family!” Li Rong snorted and said, “What luck! She was rear-ended. But we don’t know the extent of her injuries.”

Li Nian sat down and said, “She must be fine. Otherwise, the newspaper would have mentioned it.”

She had paid someone to give her a scare, because she understood the Lan family would find out that it was not an accident very soon, by their means. But she did not worry that they would find out that she was the one who did it.

She had not left any evidence, so the Lan family could do nothing, but hold their anger.

“Why are you so concerned about her?” Li Nian picked up the newspaper and saw a picture in the Finance section. “Grandpa, do you know him?”

She handed the newspaper to Li Peng. It was a blurry side view photo of a man.

“Shen Xinglan?” Li Peng had heard of him, but did not take him seriously. “We have no trade or benefit dispute with him.”

Li Nian pouted and said, “I heard that he was going to invest in Jingcheng City, and even the Lan family want to do business with him.”

“Where did you hear that?” Li Peng frowned and said, “Shen Corp has always been active in the south of the Yangtze River. I know he is going to deal with his estates this time, but I never knew that he will be staying here.”

“I don’t know.” Li Nian did not dare to talk nonsense in front of Li Peng, but embroidering the truth was possible. “I just heard it from someone else. Grandpa, do you know how popular he is now?”

Li Rong was polishing her nails next to him, and almost laughed out loud. She said, “Isn’t he married yet? Although his wife is dead, he still has a kid. Who wants to be a stepmother in this era?”

“A lot of people.” Li Nian was determined to marry him. She said to Li Peng, “Anyway, grandpa, now that you already know, don’t give the Lan family this chance.”

Li Peng nodded and said, “I’ll have someone look into it.”

As Li Nian expected, the Lan family could not find any evidence. But she did not know that Lan Lixiao would pin the blame on the Li family, whether there was evidence or not.

“Since A Miao had the accident, we should get even with their younger generation, just as a lesson to them.” Lan Heng suddenly said this morning, “Leave it to me. I will handle it.”

Lan Lixiao was satisfied, but he still reminded him. “Don’t go too far. You can’t kill them.”

A Miao was in the hospital for three days. Lan Lixiao did not allow her to leave the hospital until he got the doctor’s repeated assurances. When she returned home, she still could not go out, and had to rest in her room upstairs.

“Listen to me. Don’t run around these days.” Lan Lixiao knew young people could not bear staying home for a long time. ” You can’t go out until you are fully fit, for fear of any sequela.”

A Miao had to rest in her room. At night, Ouyang Jin called her. In other words, Shen Xinglan called her.

“I asked Little Demon to come here.” During the video chat, Shen Xinglan felt reassured when he found that she was energetic. He smiled and said, “She will protect you.”

A Miao was happy to hear that, but…

“Will she come to the Lan family? Is it proper?”

Shen Xinglan turned the camera towards Yaya who was sleeping. “Rest assured, it is 100 percent proper.”

After a week, Lan Lixiao finally allowed A Miao to go out.

“A Miao, there is something you need to know. I don’t want to treat you as a kid and keep it secret from you.” Lan Lixiao looked at her with a serious expression and said, “The traffic accident that had happened to you, was not an accident. Someone plotted it.”

A Miao froze . She did not know about it, and Shen Xinglan had never mentioned it.

“But…but who wants to harm me?” She thought quickly and found the answer very soon.

Lan Lixiao said coldly, “It is the Li family.”

Sure enough…

“I know, grandpa. I will be careful.” A Miao thought, “Li Nian did it.”

No wonder Li Nian, who had never appeared at the same location as her was at the salon that day. It turned out that she had planned to hurt her.

“For fear of any accident, I hired a bodyguard for you.” After Lan Lixiao said that, A Miao’s heart jolted.

Then she saw Uncle Fu leading someone in.

“Rest assured, the bodyguard is a female.” Lan Lixiao said with a smile, and pointed to her.

A short-haired girl walked briskly to A Miao. “Miss, I will be your bodyguard. You can call me Little Demon.”

“…Hello.” A Miao tried to pretend to be very excited and said, “Such a young bodyguard?”

Lan Lixiao thought she suspected that Little Demon was not reliable, and he said quickly, “Although she is young, she is very professional. You can trust her.”

“Thank you, grandpa!” A Miao smiled and gave him a hug. Then she went out with Little Demon.

After Little Demon drove away from the house of Lan family, she looked at A Miao and said excitedly, “Miss, finally I get to meet you!”

“Oh, don’t talk as if we’ve been parted forever!” A Miao patted her on the shoulder, and asked, “How have you been during these months?”

Little Demon shook her head and said, “Awful! I had nothing to do, without you around.”

“Is it so awesome having nothing to do?” A Miao teased her and said, “Do you like to be busy every day?”

“Anyway, I want to stay with you,” Little Demon said determinedly.

A Miao stopped teasing her, and let her concentrate on driving. They occasionally talked about what happened after their separation.

“Miss, you don’t know this. Boss is missing you so much. He looks at your picture every day, and even shows it to Yaya at night.”

Little Demon wanted to increase her favor with Shen Xinglan. “When you were not there, some women who were courting death, wanted to seduce Boss and Boss just kicked them down the stairs. There were reporters present. Such a shame!”

To Lan Lixiao’s surprise, there were two people who left in the afternoon, but there were three who came back.
