Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn
Chapter 322 - Chapter 322 322 Im really not a good person

Chapter 322: 322 I’m really not a good person Chapter 322: 322 I’m really not a good person A standard golf game comprises eighteen holes. The so-called stroke play refers to, after completing eighteen holes, the player who uses the fewest strokes wins. A full game takes about four and a half hours, so Mr. Yan’s entire morning is devoted to big shot Shi.

Shi Lan is always competitive in any game, but unlike others, because Shi Lan wants to win, she must be steadier than anyone else.

Mr. Yan verbally offers to let her win, but in reality, he gives little leeway. If he plays too casually, Shi Lan would become unhappy. Instead, it’s better to play a sincere game and join her openly on every inch of the putting green.

Although Miss Shi speaks strongly, she actually feels proud just watching Mr. Yan swing his club, especially when he gets the ball onto the green.

In her eyes, this man of extraordinary beauty, supreme intelligence, and remarkable distinction belongs to her in every aspect, thinking about it fills her with satisfaction.

It’s very important for two people to admire each other when they are together.

So even though they played for four hours, to them, time passed quickly and did not feel long at all.

When they returned to the clubhouse in their golf cart, the manager came up to them and said, “The kitchen has prepared a sumptuous lunch for both of you.”

“Is that person still here?” Shi Lan asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Yes,” the manager replied.

“Let him keep waiting.”

Saying this, the engaged couple went to the locker room to shower and change.

By the time they came out, cleaned up, an hour had passed. Shi Lan walked ahead, while Mr. Yan was still tidying up her items.

Shi Lan was so familiar with the route that she could easily find the restaurant, which surprised the manager.

“Miss An, Mr. Yan…”

“He’s behind.”

“Have you been here before?” the manager asked as he pulled out a chair for her, “I mean no offense, but it seems like you are completely familiar with this place, and even the seat you chose… is very special.”

“What’s so special about it?”

“Sorry, I should not have brought up this topic abruptly.”

“What does it matter? It’s just because Mr. Yan’s late wife liked to sit in this seat, isn’t it?”

Upon hearing this, the manager’s eyes widened in shock, a detail not even Yan Shixiu himself might be aware of, as they had only met here once during their years of marriage.

“Would you believe me if I said I am the reincarnation of his late wife?” Shi Lan teased the manager, “Steak medium rare, a touch of black pepper, extra rosemary, paired with vanilla ice cream, tomato soup without the tomatoes, and a dessert that’s high in sugar and calories, is that right?”

Manager: “…”

At that moment, Yan Shixiu also walked into the restaurant. Before sitting down, noticing the manager’s expression was off, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

Shi Lan smiled and coughed lightly, saying, “Just teasing him, Manager Gao, we are hungry.”

Having worked at Blue Lake for many years, Manager Gao thought he could maintain his composure in any situation, but the few words Shi Lan had just said truly made him break out in a cold sweat.

Yan Shixiu helplessly looked at Miss Shi, knowing that the big shot was having fun shaking her character. Xun Yinghua had deeply suffered from it and from time to time had to remark about why Miss Shi, after being gone so long, still haunted them. Now, Manager Gao was the second victim.

With a pale face, Manager Gao walked away from the table, and only then did Mr. Yan say, “You scared him again.”

“How did you not find it scary then?” Miss Shi asked curiously.

At that time, Mr. Yan was sick with grief; anything related to Miss Shi could turn his world upside down. He knew no fear, only that there might still be someone in this world who could be related to her.

“Why should I feel frightened? I have already experienced the most terrifying things,” she said.

For Yan Shixiu, the most terrifying thing in life was parting through death.

Shi Lan knew she had stirred up Yan Shixiu’s painful memories again, so she changed the subject, “You just lost, Yan Shixiu.”

“What do you want?” Yan Shixiu asked casually and naturally.

They had determined the winner by a single stroke earlier, so the winner got a reward and the loser faced a penalty.

Shi Lan glanced at him and with a lifted corner of her mouth said, “I don’t think I want anything special, just one thing; you give it to me.”

“What?”

The young lady didn’t answer, but dipped her finger into a glass of one hundred-dollar pure water and then wrote a character on the dining table.

After seeing it, Yan Shixiu’s throat felt somewhat hot. He asked, “I can give it anytime, when do you want it?”

“Next spring?”

“No, that’s too long,” Yan Shixiu refused.

“Then we wait another three months.”

This time Yan Shixiu didn’t speak; after all, he had already endured three months, what harm was there in another three?

“Or not necessarily, what if one day I just get the urge?”

Yan Shixiu’s heart was tossed up and down by her and in the end, could he do anything but indulge her? He had thought this wish of hers could be fulfilled immediately.

After a full meal, the two left the restaurant, and then the manager noticed the still-wet watermark on the table, as if someone had retraced it.

It was the character for ‘home’.

…

After leaving the restaurant, Shi Lan said to Yan Shixiu, “Uncle Yan, you go start the car; I’ll go check on that person.”

Yan Shixiu nodded and said, “It’s hot there. Let’s talk somewhere else.”

“How about you drive over here, and we can leave through the side door?”

Yan Shixiu nodded again and then took the backpack from her shoulder and hung it on his own.

Shi Lan walked toward the side door’s open grassy area and saw An Li’en, who was nearly dehydrated, as he had been out in the sun for hours; how could a normal person withstand it? Yet she stood with her arms folded on the steps and said to An Li’en, “What else do you want to say?”

“Aren’t you the one who wants me to turn myself in? Just promise me that you’ll deal with You Li and her lover, and I’ll turn myself in immediately.”

“Why should I help you? You need to realize, even if I do nothing, you can’t escape the law,” Shi Lan said coldly.

“I can’t accept this; my wife cheated, and I even raised someone else’s child for years. If you don’t help me, I can only take drastic measures. I can’t guarantee what will happen then.”

After hearing this, the young lady sneered, “From what you say, this sounds entirely like your own retribution. Isn’t that fair?”

“Then you probably don’t know, the reason I joined the scam after discovering my older brother was defrauding An Yang was because You Li’s mother, knowing my hardest times, demanded a dowry of four hundred thousand. Otherwise, do you think a lawyer would commit crimes just for some money?”

“So what?” Shi Lan responded, “I think showing all your cards isn’t a wise move since I am really… not a good person.”

“However, I could… give you a few suggestions.”
