The Evil Man’s Lazy Lady

heard rumors that he was a cold-hearted person.
There was once a girl who sold her body to bury her father kneeling in front of his carriage, kowtowing to the ground and shedding blood but he didn’t even give up half a copper coin…

Cheng Qingran was looking in the direction of Qin-shi’s two daughters and mother.
There was astonishment and confusion in his gaze so that he didn’t even notice Qin Ruhai approaching.

“Master Cheng, many thanks for taking care of Qin-mou’s granddaughter.
Qin-mou will keep this kindness in his heart.
If there is anything Qin-mou can help in the future, please feel free to open your mouth.” Qin Ruhai bowed to Cheng Qingran, but there was no response for a long time.
He couldn’t help but look up and saw Cheng Qingran staring blankly at one place.

(T/N: (某) mǒu means: (humble, by itself) I · Used in place of a person's given name, for anonymity purposes.)

Qin Ruhai followed Cheng Qingran’s gaze and just happened to see the gentle smile of his eldest granddaughter.
The dim light shone on her like a character walking out of a dream.
His heart suddenly jumped.
Qin Ruhai’s impression of Cheng Qingran went down sharply. Good, you look like an upright gentleman, but you are actually a pervert!

Standing up, Qin Ruhai stood in front of Cheng Qingran and raised his voice, “Master Cheng, many thanks for taking care of Qin-mou’s granddaughter…”

Cheng Qingran came back to his senses and got up to return the courtesy: “Master Qin is courteous.
What the junior did was just a slight effort.” He was a little annoyed for a moment.
Wasn’t that girl seven points similar to the little girl? Why was he stunned?

Qin Ruhai’s expression darkened slightly.
After saying a few polite words, he called his daughter and son-in-law over to thank him.

Shu Maoting and his wife were sincerely grateful to Cheng Qingran.
They almost praised him as the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva.
Shu Wan pulled Shu Lan to stand silently beside her and looked up at Cheng Qingran.
After being slightly stunned, she quickly lowered her head, so she missed the flash of surprise in Cheng Qingran’s eyes.

“Okay, it’s getting late, we won’t disturb your rest.
Tomorrow Qin-mou will set up a banquet in Wanghe Tower, so please ask Master Cheng to show his face.” Qin Ruhai’s expression was calm and authentic.
Although he didn’t like it in his heart, the courtesy he should do could not be abandoned.

Cheng Qingran smiled slightly.
He took a step forward, patted Shu Lan’s head, and said softly, “Master Qin is courteous.
Meeting the little girl Shu Lan is considered fate.
Tomorrow, the junior still has to go out for a trip, so you need not spend time.”

Shu Lan looked at Cheng Qingran with some reluctance, “Big brother, can I come to play with you in the future?”

Not waiting for Cheng Qingran to speak, Xiao Lang, who had been silent, suddenly said, “They are busy people, how can they have time to take care of you?”

“I don’t need you to care!” Shu Lan glared angrily, and just as she was about to continue asking, she saw her older sister shaking her head at her.
After thinking about it, Shu Lan lowered her head obediently.
