Wedding Night: I Became the Female Supporting Character and Married the Villain!

“Thank you, Uncle!” Shen Lan leaned over excitedly.

Shen Xiu couldn’t take it anymore. He stood up abruptly and took a deep breath to calm himself down. Somehow, he managed to continue speaking without changing his expression. “However, it seems that all the leads regarding Liu Sheng’s matter have been cut off. Trying to pick up such a cold trail may prove challenging. The act of robbing someone during a car accident in the downtown area is not a small matter. The truck driver must have been determined to die. Finding him will not be easy.”

“Do you have any other leads we can follow?” Shen Xiu asked.

Shen Lan looked at Shen Xiu’s back in confusion. She did not understand why he suddenly stood up and started speaking with his back turned.

However, she was quickly distracted by Shen Xiu’s words. Upon careful

consideration, Liu Sheng hadn’t revealed her true nature yet and was still treating her well. What could she possibly bring up…?

“The company. Liu Sheng must have done something to the company,” Shen

Lan stated with certainty.

Shen Xiu nodded with understanding.

So, what did Liu Sheng do to the Shen family’s business that made Shen Lan so nervous? On the surface, there was nothing wrong with the company. Even if Liu Sheng has already made a move, it must have been subtle. It wouldn’t be discovered without a thorough internal investigation.

Shen Lan knew nothing about business, so how could she have known?

Shen Xiu pretended to hesitate and said, “However, as the vice president, Liu Sheng has her own ambitions in the workplace. It’s hard to tell if she’s simply striving for career advancement or plotting against the Shen family’s business. It’s normal for employees to harbor some drive. Shen Lan, do you really think she’s doing anything more?

Shen Lan was taken aback for a moment. She had thought her uncle would investigate Liu Sheng with ease. Why did he sound like he was having difficulties?

Shen Lan didn’t realize that Shen Xiu was skillfully trying to extract information from her.

After careful consideration, she realized that Liu Sheng was still covering her tracks with airtight precision. Shen Lan had no clue what she was doing behind the scenes.

“I think she fancies Lu Zhao?” Shen Lan hesitantly asked, “Would that count?”

In her previous life, Liu Sheng had never mentioned this matter. Would it be considered strange?

“She likes Lu Zhao?” Shen Xiu turned around and asked. “The flower delivery stunt could have killed three birds with one stone for Liu Sheng.”

Shen Lan was momentarily stunned before finally catching on. Whether the flower delivery succeeded or not did not matter. As long as she completely trusted Liu Sheng, it was already a small victory!

If her plan to deliver the flowers succeeded, it would create a conflict between her and Luo Ying, making it easy for Liu Sheng to collaborate with Lu Zhao and plot against the Shen family. If her plan failed, Lu Zhao would naturally take care of Miss Lin and eliminate a love rival for Liu Sheng.

Shen Xiu’s understanding went even further than Shen Lan’s. This flower delivery likely had multiple motives for Liu Sheng.

It seemed that investigating Liu Sheng was indeed necessary.

Since he was going to investigate, Shen Xiu would do it thoroughly as per his usual style.

Shen Xiu patted Shen Lan’s shoulder reassuringly. “I understand. You don’t have to worry about this. Leave it to me. Do you want to tell your father about

Shen Lan didn’t have a good relationship with her father. It had been difficult for Shen Xiu to reconcile.

Before Shen Xiu could retract his hand, Shen Lan held onto it. Her fingertips brushed against his palm, causing him to tremble.

Shen Lan nodded vigorously while remaining as clueless as ever. “My dad trusts Liu Sheng a lot. Sometimes I even feel that Liu Sheng is more of a daughter to him than I am. If I tell him, he might even alert her about it.

Uncle, please don’t tell him.”

Shen Xiu slowly pulled his hand free while feeling a little suffocated.

Who taught Shen Lan to be so open and affectionate? How could she easily engage in so many intimate actions with a man, even if it was him? It infuriated him.

“Don’t worry, my lips are sealed. I’ll be quiet about this,” Shen Xiu assured her. His eyes narrowed dangerously and he changed the topic. “Shen Lan, although I support your freedom to pursue love, I’m afraid that being too persistent might harm you. You…”

“Uncle, l’ve already broken up with Zhou Li,” Shen Lan interjected while twirling her hair awkwardly. She recalled everything she had done for Zhou Li when she was twenty years old—it was so embarrassing.

“You broke up?” Shen Xiu didn’t quite believe her. “Then why did he come to see you this morning?

Of course, Zhou Li hadn’t come to see Shen Lan. This was just a lie Shen Xiu had made up to test her..
