“I’ll take you to see my father first. He is the housekeeper of the Liu residence and is in charge of all the family matters. If you don’t know something, you can ask him for advice.” Zhao Shanshan said.
As she spoke, she walked towards the accountant’s office.
The new courtyard of the Liu residence had already been built. The room that her father used to live in the front yard was turned into an accountant’s room.
During the day, her father spent most of his time in the office.
At this hour, there was a high chance that he was there.
Fan Teng quickly followed.
“I heard that he used to be a housekeeper in the Zhou residence. That is so impressive…”
But before he could finish, the person in front suddenly stopped.
Fan Teng almost bumped into Zhao Shanshan.
Fortunately, he was steady and did not bump into her.
Zhao Shanshan turned to look at him, but her expression was not very friendly.
“How do you know all this?” She asked.
It was strange enough for him to call her by her name the first time they met.
He even knew that her father used to be a housekeeper in the Zhou residence.
Could this person be plotting something?
At the thought of this, the wariness in Zhao Shanshan’s eyes intensified.
Seeing this, Fan Teng knew that Zhao Shanshan had misunderstood, and his expression turned anxious.
“Miss Shanshan, don’t misunderstand. I…I met you and uncle at Third Master Zhou’s residence before.” He quickly explained.
“I am friends with Jiang Er Mazi from Third Master Zhou’s residence. I asked him about this.”
Zhao Shanshan’s expression remained guarded.
“Why are you asking about our family?” She asked in a deep voice.
Was it to inquire about her family, or was it to plot against the Liu family?
Miss treated her like a sister. She would not allow anyone to have any ill intentions towards the Liu family.
Seeing Zhao Shanshan’s expression turn colder and colder, Fan Teng’s expression became even more anxious.
“I…I’ve always admired you. That is why 1 asked him about you and your family!” He steeled his heart and said the truth.
Then, Fan Teng raised his hand again and made a gesture of swearing at Zhao Shanshan.
“I, Fan Teng, swear that everything I said just now is true. If I lie to Miss Shanshan, or have any ill intentions towards Miss Shanshan’s family or the Liu family, I’ll die a horrible death!”
Zhao Shanshan’s heart skipped a beat, and her face turned red.
She quickly turned around and continued walking forward.
“Who asked you to swear?!” She said in a displeased tone.
Fan Teng knew that Zhao Shanshan wasn’t angry anymore. He heaved a sigh of relief and quickly followed her.
After a while, they saw the accountant’s office in front of them.
Zhao Shanshan finally slowed down.
After hesitating for a moment, she spoke.
“Regardless of whether you’re telling the truth or not, 1 advise you not to waste your time on me.”
Fan Teng was stunned. He was about to ask why when Zhao Shanshan continued.
“I’ve already decided that 1’11 stay by Miss’ side for the rest of my life, and I’ll never get married.”
Fan Teng was shocked.
“Moreover, Miss has already agreed.” Zhao Shanshan said.
Lin Xiaoyue allowed her to marry freely, but she had decided not to marry in this life, so it was not wrong to say that she agreed.
Yes, that was it.
What’s so good about getting married?
She should work under the Miss and helped her manage her business. Isn’t that better than getting married, having children, and being trapped in the household in the future?
Fan Teng actually confessed to her.
She didn’t even remember seeing him before. He was really too frivolous.
Could it be that he saw that she was highly regarded by the young miss and deliberately came to flirt with her, wanting to use this to gain a foothold in the Liu family as soon as possible?
Thinking of this, Zhao Shanshan frowned.
Hmph, if that was his plan, then he had schemed against the wrong person.
Fan Teng’s face stiffened when he heard Zhao Shanshan’s words.
Miss doesn’t allow Miss Shanshan to get married?
And she wanted to stay by her side for the rest of her life?
How could this be?
If Miss Shanshan didn’t get married, wouldn’t he be single for the rest of his life?!
No, Miss didn’t look like such an unreasonable person. Was that really the case?
Could it be that she made it up to force him to retreat?
No, he couldn’t panic. He had to stay calm.
He was now an assistant to the master, and he seemed to like him quite a bit.
When he got to know his master better, he would ask him about it.
Even if Miss really said that, if he begged the master to plead with her, she might change her mind.
According to his observations, the young miss was very respectful to the master.
Thinking of this, Fan Teng felt more at ease.
At this moment, Zhao Fu came out of the office.
Zhao Fu was a little surprised to see Zhao Shanshan and a man standing not far away from the accountant’s office.
“Shanshan!” He called out to his daughter.
“Father.” Zhao Shanshan quickly replied.
She ignored Fan Teng and quickly walked towards Zhao Fu..
