The daughter of a general is so cool in the novel about a wealthy family

Seeing that he had frightened her, Zhao Cheng immediately put away the knife and quickly bent down to help the fallen woman up.

"Ms. Liu, I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you. I scared you. I'm really sorry."

After Liu Lan stood up with Zhao Cheng's help, she waved to Zhao Cheng, indicating that she was fine. Then she bent down to pick up the tray on the ground and said with gestures: "I'll go get another bowl of soup."

After saying that, she turned and walked away.

Zhao Cheng knew that he had scared her and felt a little guilty. He scratched his head, looked at Shi Xiao, and listened to his arrangements.

There was no emotion on Shi Xiao's face. He just closed his eyes and said, "Go do your thing."

"Yes." Zhao Cheng ran away immediately.

Liu Lan is Shi Xiao's savior.

Shi Xiao and Zhao Cheng were being hunted and fell into a trap set by the locals to catch wild animals.

Shi Xiao was already injured at that time. The trap was very deep, about four or five meters long. Although staying here could ensure that he would not be discovered by the enemy, at the same time no one could find him and no one would come to rescue him.

When the sun rose the next day, the dazzling sunlight woke up Shi Xiao and Zhao Cheng.

Shi Xiao's wound was bandaged with clothes. Although he didn't bleed too much, the blood still couldn't be stopped and some blood would seep out from time to time.

After being tortured like this for a whole night, Shi Xiao's face had turned extremely pale. Zhao Cheng even wanted to cut open his flesh and feed it to Shi Xiao.

Suddenly, a thick vine fell from above Shi Xiao's head.

Zhao Cheng didn't care about anything else, even if it was the enemy's cane, he had to leave at this moment. No matter what, if he continued to stay here, he would die anyway.

Zhao Cheng tied Shi Xiao to himself and pulled them up step by step.

When they climbed out of the trap, they found that their rescuer was an Asian girl. She tied vines to a thick tree trunk and threw it down, saving them both.

Zhao Cheng thanked her, but she noticed Shi Xiao who had lost too much blood and gestured worriedly.

Zhao Cheng had received professional training and naturally understood sign language. He then realized that the woman was mute, so he communicated with her using sign language.

The woman said that she was a girl abducted by human traffickers, but she managed to escape on the road and met an old man in the village. The old man saw that she looked pitiful, so he took her in and took her home to work.

Zhao Cheng chose to believe what the woman said and took Shi Xiao back to the village.

She found a thatched hut for the two of them and delivered medicine and meals to them every day. Zhao Cheng regarded her as his savior and always respected her.

Liu Lan scooped another bowl of broth and brought it over. This time the door of the hut was not closed, but she still knocked on the open wooden door.

Shi Xiao was resting with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He looked up at her and said softly, "Come in."

Liu Lan put down the tray and handed the bowl to Shi Xiao.

Shi Xiao tried his best not to strain the wound, picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp.

As the taste of the gravy spread in his mouth, Shi Xiao felt his body gradually regaining strength.

Although there was not much meat and it was all minced meat, he still thought the soup was delicious.

Liu Lan took the empty bowl he handed over, then her round eyes sparkled and she gestured worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Shi Xiao didn't understand sign language, but he understood what she meant. He forced a smile and comforted her, "I'm fine."

He adjusted his sitting position and leaned back on the straw mat, which made him feel more comfortable. He spoke in a very light voice, "Did I scare you just now?"

Liu Lan also sat next to him, crossed her knees in front of her chest, gave an innocent smile and shook her head.

With the help of the dazzling sunlight outside the door, Shi Xiao saw the red mark on Liu Lan's calf. Although it was a little difficult for him to move at this time, he still raised his hand, gently touched the burned area, and then rubbed it carefully.

Liu Lan didn't know what he was going to do at first and was a little scared. As soon as his fingers touched her, she shrank back. It was not until she found out that Shi Xiao had no ill intentions that she felt relieved. She stared blankly at Shi Xiao's hand pressing on her calf.

Shi Xiao's movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her again, "Do you want to apply some ointment?"

Liu Lan shook her head and smiled while using sign language, "It's okay, it won't hurt in a while."

Shi Xiao has been in the business world for too long, and the disputes there have destroyed the last of his humanity. He doesn't trust anyone and is even wary of his family.

He only trusts people he has trained himself, so in the eyes of others, Shi Xiao is a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

This is why people in the upper class are afraid of Shi Xiao, because he is cruel and knows how to use interests to manipulate others.

Shi Xiao's gentleness at this moment seemed a little unusual, even he was a little surprised.

He knew very well that he had no feelings for the woman in front of him, but after spending so much time with her, he couldn't help but treat such a sincere person with kindness.

Shi Xiao sneered and analyzed his own thoughts. Perhaps because of his injury, he was not as vigilant as usual and became a lot softer-hearted.

Thinking of this, his movements became more gentle.

But it was only for a moment. Shi Xiao just massaged gently a few times and then coldly withdrew his hand.

He leaned his head against the wall, closed his eyes again, and said, "I want to rest for a while. Please close the door when you go out."

Liu Lan was stunned by his sudden change. For a moment, she couldn't figure out what she had done wrong.

Why did his gentleness suddenly turn cold?

Liu Lan's bright eyes were filled with fear, but she still stood up carefully and walked out. Just as she was about to close the door, she suddenly heard Shi Xiao's words.

"Don't worry, I'll take you back home after I recover." Shi Xiao paused, then said, "Just consider it as compensation for saving me."

Liu Lan knew that he couldn't see her movements because his eyes were closed, but she still said thank you in sign language, then walked out and closed the door.

Shi Xiao leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. Perhaps affected by this inexplicable emotion, the scene of that year came to his mind.

When Shi Xiao was in high school, on his way home one day, he saw through the back seat window of a Ferrari a group of people surrounding a boy and a girl who were wearing the same school uniform as his school.

The boy pulled out a wooden stick and used his burly body to protect the girl behind him. Blood was flowing from his forehead, but his eyes were determined.

However, this was not the main reason that attracted Shi Xiao.

What caught Shi Xiao's attention was the girl hiding behind the boy.

She didn't hide behind him, but looked at them with the same fierce eyes and said something.

Shi Xiao originally thought that the girl was just swearing. It was indeed courageous for a high school student to talk back to a group of aggressive people, but it also showed that she was stupid. Swearing would only lead to more beatings and scolding.

It was not until Ferrari got closer to the crowd that he could hear the girl's loud voice. She was actually explaining the law to these gangsters.

Shi Xiao was a little surprised. She was just a high school student, but she could remain so calm when faced with trouble. Moreover, she understood the law at such a young age. It was really unusual.

Shi Xiao admired them both very much, so he ordered his bodyguards to rescue them.
