Shi Lu was surprised. “You’re dying your hair again? Your red hair has just been dyed black because you have to film. You’re dying it again immediately after filming ended?”
Zhang Zhang made a face at Shi Lu. “It’s none of your business. Girls have to be beautiful at all times.”
Yuan Shu liked watching the two of them bicker, since it was like watching her own children bicker.
She asked Zhang Zhang with a smile, “Then what color are you going to dye your hair this time?”
Zhang Zhang replied, “Recently, I’ve seen a lot of people with cool green hair, so I’ve decided to dye my hair green. Of course, it’s not a deep green, but a mint green color that gives off a summery vibe.”
Yuan Shu felt that this beautiful color would suit Zhang Zhang very well, so she said, “Sure, I’m looking forward to seeing you in this hair color.”
Shi Lu panicked. “Wouldn’t it take you an entire afternoon to dye your hair? We don’t want to accompany you.”
Zhang Zhang said, “Then we can get Sister Yuan Shu to dye her hair too. It’s fun to dye hair together, right, Sister Yuan Shu?”
Yuan Shu refused. “Although 1 really want to accompany you, 1 don’t plan to dye my hair for the time being, but we can accompany you. Shi Lu and I can walk around to kill time.”
Shi Lu supported his head with his arm as he said, “Then treat it as accompanying Sister-in-law. We can go to the mall in the afternoon to buy some household necessities. This house is too empty. There’s nothing in such a big house. I’ll pay for everything Sister-in-law buys this afternoon. You’re not allowed to spend a single cent!”
Yuan Shu smiled and said, “Alright, I definitely won’t fuss about spending money with you.”
Zhang Zhang said, “Pay for my hair dyeing too, hehe.”
The Tan family owned a shopping mall and its design was different from other shopping malls. Other than some luxury goods and ordinary clothing brands, Tan Jing also designed a French window office on the top floor. However, the window was facing the shopping mall.
This office was on the sixth floor. Only the boss’s exclusive elevator could go up there, and customers couldn’t reach it.
The purpose of this design was because Tan Kai had a certain habit. He liked the feeling of looking down at people from a high altitude. Watching those people spend happily and bring profit to his mall made him feel happy.
Moreover, from the sixth floor, he could see everyone clearly without being discovered by others.
At this moment, he was holding a glass of whiskey in his hand as he stood in front of the window and looked downstairs.
He smiled as he said to the person sitting leisurely on the sofa behind him, “Guess who I saw downstairs?”
That person was obviously uninterested. He swirled the wine glass in his hand and observed the painting hanging on Tan Jing’s wall.
It was a modern realistic oil painting.
That person said, “I didn’t expect you to have the hobby of visiting art exhibitions.”
The painting was hung in a corner of the most popular recent art exhibition, but few people stopped to look at it. The man remembered it because it was the only painting in that exhibition that broke the norm.
Tan Jing turned around and looked at the painting on the wall. Then, he sat down opposite the man.
Perhaps he didn’t like the painting, but the person who drew it. This painting was a painting that Tan Jing saw at an art exhibition. When he saw it, he didn’t think that it looked good. However, there was an elegant woman standing in front of this painting.
Tan Jing was attracted by her. Later on, when they were chatting, he found out that this woman was the author of this painting.
Tan Jing wasn’t short of money, so why not spend money in exchange for the beauty’s smile?
Tan Jing repeated what he said just now. “Are you really not curious about who
1 saw in the mall?”
The man looked up at him and said, “There are only two people I’m curious about now, Shi Xiao and Yuan Shu. Shi Xiao never shops in the mall, so the person you saw must be Yuan Shu.”
Tan Jing felt dejected. “You’re really smart. You guessed it right.”
The man said, “Send someone to keep an eye on them and see where they went.”
Tan Jing made a call and gave the instructions. Then, he poured some wine into the man’s glass. “This is your first time in my office.. What’s the matter?”
