After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 181: Chapter 181: You Hand Over Power, I Retire Chapter 181: Chapter 181: You Hand Over Power, I Retire After getting into Qi Heng’s car, Shen Yan sent a message to Ji Yao and the others, deciding to invite them to dinner another day.

Putting away her phone, Shen Yan turned to look at Qi Heng beside her.

Shen Yan recognized Qi Heng at first glance because his eyes and brows somewhat resembled Qi Si’s.

But Qi Si’s features were sharper and more handsome, perhaps due to different personalities, Qi Heng’s eyes and brows seemed softer.

As Shen Yan approached, Qi Heng called out to her.

She didn’t know why Qi Heng had come to Shencheng University to find her, but she followed him out anyway.

Qi Heng checked the time and said, “I’ve already made a reservation at the restaurant.”

“Then let’s go to the place you’ve booked,” Shen Yan said indifferently.

Qi Heng also took into account Shen Yan’s identity issues, choosing a more secluded place.

Shen Yan looked up at the sign and her lips twitched slightly.

Juhai Pavilion!

Did the Mu Family own everything in Shen City?

“Does sister-in-law dislike coming here?” Qi Heng noticed Shen Yan’s reaction.

“No, the food here is quite good,” Shen Yan walked inside.

The waiters here became excited and blushed upon seeing her, their excitement evident on their faces and in their eyes.

They entered a private room.

Qi Heng, unlike Qi Si, wasn’t as attentive, and simply ordered the restaurant’s signature dishes upon arrival.

Just the two of them, yet they ordered ten dishes.

Shen Yan didn’t refuse the actions of this wealthy gentleman.

It wasn’t her money being spent, so why should she care?

“What do you want to talk to me about?” Shen Yan had met Qi Si’s brother and mother, and she didn’t have a great impression of Song Jinwei; this one wasn’t much better, but he wasn’t as repulsive as Song Jinwei.

“Let’s eat first,” Qi Heng looked at Shen Yan, “Sister-in-law has changed a lot.”

“Have I?”

“Have you considered returning to Beijing?” Qi Heng asked.

Shen Yan replied, “No.”

“Is it because of Mr. Mu? Sister-in-law followed him to Shen City back then, right?”

Shen Yan faced him directly: “It was just youthful ignorance. Now, I’m Qi Si’s wife. Unless Qi Si cheats, I will not have any relationship with another man.”

Qi Heng believed his older brother would never cheat.

“In Beijing, there are many who like my brother. Sister-in-law knows that, right?”

“I don’t know.”

“…I heard that last time Young Master Zhai attacked you?” Qi Heng stared at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan poured herself a cup of warm tea: “Your brother has already handled it for me.”

Qi Heng was slightly stunned: “Brother dealt with that, you knew?”

“The people sent by the Zhai Family were unclean. Aren’t they afraid that higher-ups will trace it back to them?” Shen Yan said quietly.

Hearing this, Qi Heng was taken aback again, staring at Shen Yan intently for a while, his eyes gradually deepening.

“Did my brother tell you this?”

Shen Yan didn’t answer him.

Qi Heng’s look towards Shen Yan changed again, guessing back and forth in his mind.

In the end, he leaned more towards the idea that Qi Si had warned Shen Yan.

In their eyes, even though Shen Yan was the beloved daughter of the Shen Family and lived in the heart of Beijing’s elite circle, there were some clandestine matters she was not privy to.

Shen Yan did not care what he was thinking at the moment; she just ate when the food was served.

Qi Heng watched her eat, barely touching his own food.

“Solving the issue with the Zhai Family still left my sister-in-law at odds with them. My brother and Young Master Zhai are friends; they will have to meet again when he returns to Beijing, which makes it difficult for my brother because of my sister-in-law’s involvement.”

Qi Heng was still thinking about the matter with the Zhai Family.

He wondered how Shen Yan would handle it.

“That’s between your brother and Young Master Zhai, and it doesn’t really concern me much. Do you think just because they are friends, the Zhai Family can bully me at will? No, the lady from the Zhai Family wanted me dead. From the way you speak, it sounds like you’d rather side with the Zhai Family?” Shen Yan looked at him seriously, her words carrying a slight edge.

Shen Yan’s words stunned Qi Heng.

He indeed had better relationships with people from the Zhai Family, but was her claim about wanting her dead an exaggeration?

Zhai Xilan, despite her hatred for Shen Yan, wouldn’t go that far.

“I’ve always had contact with Zhai Xilan; she’s not that kind of person.”

Shen Yan glanced at him lightly, saying nothing.

With Qi Heng defending someone from the Zhai Family, what more could she say?

“If we return to Beijing, it would be best to resolve these minor grudges,” Qi Heng’s heart leaned more towards the Zhai Family, coupled with Shen Yan’s past actions, which made him have a not-so-favorable impression of her.

Shen Yan narrowed her eyes slightly: “Did the Zhai Family send you to plead their case?”

“Not exactly.”

“Minor grudges?”

“Isn’t it just jealousy between women? Just a trivial matter,” Qi Heng said from his perspective, considering the issue with the Zhai Family to be blown out of proportion.

“Even the weapons were drawn, and you talk to me about minor grudges? Not too much? The Zhai Family was clever to send a desperado to do their bidding. If Qi Si hadn’t stepped in, do you know what the Zhai Family would be facing?” Shen Yan asked slowly, her tone extremely cold.

Shen Yan had absolutely no good impressions of Qi Heng.

Qi Heng frowned deeply: “Could there be some misunderstanding in this? Did your brother tell you that?”

Shen Yan put down her chopsticks, looking at him: “What exactly are you here for?”

“My mother wanted to visit Shen City again to see my sister-in-law, but I took on the task myself. The last meeting between my mother and my sister-in-law wasn’t pleasant, and I doubt my sister-in-law would want to meet my mother again.”

Shen Yan nodded: “That much is true.”

Qi Heng glanced sideways: “My mother hopes my sister-in-law would consider retiring from the entertainment industry, not just her, but the family would prefer my sister-in-law not to be involved in the dirty business of the entertainment world.”

Shen Yan asked him evenly: “Would you give up inheriting any part of the Qi Family empire? When you’ve cut ties completely and cleanly with the Qi Family’s money, then come and persuade me to quit the industry.”

Qi Heng scowled: “You’re asking the impossible of me.”

Shen Yan: “You realize the impossibility, that’s rare indeed.”

“This matter is different from yours.”

“In my view, it’s the same,” Shen Yan said unmoved, “If you came to discuss this matter, I’ve already stated my condition. Once you fulfill it, I’ll quit the industry.”

Qi Heng’s eyebrows knitted tightly as he stared at Shen Yan for a long, serious moment, his gaze becoming heavy.

Qi Heng looked at the table full of dishes before him and suddenly lost his appetite.

Clearly, Shen Yan was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Seeing his expression, Shen Yan continued: “Let’s do this then, I won’t press you to break completely with your family. Just hand over what you hold to me, and I’ll leave the industry. Just nod, and I’ll cleanly exit the entertainment world; see, you won’t even need to persuade me, how perfect is that?”

Qi Heng: “…”

It all came down to him surrendering everything he held.

“Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?”

“You started it,” Shen Yan picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.

Qi Heng watched Shen Yan with a gloomy, unreadable gaze.
