After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity
Chapter 225 - 225 225 The Meaning of Old Sir QiChapter 225: Chapter 225: The Meaning of Old Sir Qi Chapter 225: Chapter 225: The Meaning of Old Sir Qi Qi Heng laughed.
“Only at this time do I feel that you also care about my elder brother.”
Song Jinwei frowned, “Of course, I care about your elder brother, he’s my child too. But as the eldest, he should be considerate of his younger siblings instead of completely blocking their own development like he is now.”
Qi Heng’s brow furrowed tightly. “That is elder brother’s ability, the family needs a capable person to support it. If it were any of us, we couldn’t achieve what he has today.”
He fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said, “Mom, I want to leave the Qi Family and start on my own.”
“What!” Song Jinwei was startled, “You want to start from scratch? The economy isn’t doing well right now, do you know how difficult it is to start over at this time?”
“I’m not exactly starting from scratch, I have family connections and my own network.”
“No!” Song Jinwei’s hidden controlling desire flared up again, “How old are you now? Starting over at this time, you’ll wear yourself out.”
“I’ve thought this through thoroughly before bringing it up to you, mom. I’m already an adult, not the three-year-old child I once was.”
He was informing Song Jinwei, not consulting her.
Song Jinwei’s face changed slightly, sensing that she was losing control of the situation.
Why had this happened?
Qi Heng pointed to the red packet on the table. “I previously followed your advice to persuade my sister-in-law. Don’t speak to her alone anymore about those matters; elder brother already bears grudges against you. Upsetting my sister-in-law further will only drive them further away. You should return the red packet yourself or add something more substantial.”
Qi Heng took on the task of persuasion, worried that Song Jinwei, with her temperament, might not handle it delicately.
It was ugly to cause a scene and hurt the feelings of the family members.
Qi Heng admitted that he initially looked down on Shen Yan, but after these last two encounters, he felt Shen Yan was somewhat different.

By the time Qi Si returned, Shen Yan was already in bed reading a boring collection of books. Hearing noise outside, she opened the door and saw Qi Si rolling up his sleeves, preparing to take out some documents to review. Shen Yan blinked, “It’s quite late, Mr. Qi, are you still working?”
Seeing Shen Yan peek out, Qi Si put down the documents, “Not asleep yet.”
“I just got here, I’m having trouble sleeping. Grandpa Qi didn’t need you for anything serious, did he?”
“Nothing serious,” Qi Si recalled Old Sir Qi’s words, “The family really likes you.”
“Received quite a few cards today,” Shen Yan came out to sit with Qi Si on the soft sofa in the living room, “Everyone’s gifts were too generous.”
“Keep them,” said Qi Si. “They receive a good bonus each year.”
He was the one who ran around handling it all.
“Next time, I’ll prepare some gifts for the elders at home,” Shen Yan felt that reciprocation was necessary, even with family.
Qi Si wanted to say it wasn’t necessary, but seeing Shen Yan’s demeanor, he retracted his words, “Do as you see fit.”
“Can I ask what the elders like?”
Qi Si looked into her shining eyes and couldn’t immediately respond.
He didn’t know the hobbies and interests of others.
“You might ask Uncle Liang and Uncle Liu for advice.”
“So there are things Mr. Qi doesn’t know.”
Qi Si paused.
Shen Yan smiled, standing up, “It’s getting late, Mr. Qi, don’t work anymore. It can wait till tomorrow.”
“Go to sleep first.”
Qi Si watched her enter her room then picked up the document again, dedicating himself fully to managing the family business without any personal bias.
But within the family, there were those who just couldn’t stand unity and would stir up trouble until they were satisfied.
After reviewing the document, he leaned back on the sofa, the dark gleam in his black eyes flickering. He couldn’t help thinking of the words Old Sir Qi had said.
“Why didn’t you tell the family about the issue with the Zhai Family? There has been no response from the Shen Family either, did you cover it up? Once Shen Yan is part of the Qi Family, she is one of us. If our own family is being treated this way, is this how you defend your wife? If it were your grandmother, the Zhai Family would not get off without some punishment.”
It must have been Liu Su and Uncle Liang who said something for Old Sir Qi to bring it up specifically.
Taking action against Xilan had already been severe.
Xilan was still not able to walk freely, recuperating in the hospital.
Taking further action against the Zhai Family would mean meddling with their business affairs.
Qi Si tugged at his collar, his gaze deepening.
Several months had passed since the incident, and when mentioned again, Qi Si’s mood was drastically different from what it had been at the time.
Thinking now of the scene where Shen Yan was nearly killed by Zhai Xilan, his body trembled with rage.
His originally icy gaze grew even colder and more sinister.

The next morning, Qi Si received an exasperated call from Zhai Hongshen, “Qi Si, have you gone too far? Suddenly attacking the Zhai Family, what are you trying to do?”
Caught off guard, the Zhai Family had suffered heavy losses overnight.
The Zhai Family had been up before dawn, bustling about because the Qi Family had made a move against them.
“It was Grandpa’s decision.”
“Who? Which grandpa made you so obedient, dammit, am I even your friend…”
“My grandpa.”
Zhai Hongshen: “…”
This time, Qi Si didn’t need to hang up; Zhai Hongshen ended the call first, pacing around anxiously.
Zhai Hongshen remembered that someone had mentioned seeing the Qi Family and Shen Family going together to the Wang Residence for dinner the previous day, even booking the whole place.
The only possibility was that Qi Si had taken Shen Yan back to Beijing to meet the parents!
It had been so long since the incident with Shen Yan; Qi Si had already dealt harshly with Zhai Xilan, and now this surprise attack.
This whole affair had left the Zhai Family in chaos.
If it was Elder Qi who had spoken, the Zhai Family really had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill and couldn’t complain.
Zhai Hongshen cursed under his breath and then informed Old Sir Zhai about the situation. Old Sir Zhai was surprisingly chipper and ordered the family not to intervene, saying they should accept whatever losses there were since the Qi Family needed to vent their anger before they could let things go.
After this was settled, they would visit with gifts.
Listening to this, Zhai Hongshen felt even more depressed.
Since the Zhai Family was at fault initially, they had no choice but to accept it.
Elder Qi was somewhat satisfied with the Zhai Family recognizing the situation and keeping their cool.
Shen Yan was unaware of this whole affair. In the morning, she said she wanted to visit Elder Qi but was told by Qi Si that Elder Qi had gone to the countryside with Mr. Shen early in the morning.
Seeing that Qi Si was busy with other things, Shen Yan asked Liu Su to accompany her back to the Shen Family home, as she was scheduled to fly back to Shen City in the afternoon.
Qi Si was unable to accompany Shen Yan himself, so he arranged for her flight and someone to take her.
Stepping into the Shen Family’s door, Shen Yan looked around curiously.
This wasn’t the main ancestral home of the Shen Family but the residence where Shen Zuo and his family lived.
Shen Zheng had already gone to work with Shen Zuo by the time Shen Yan arrived, and the notification came a bit too late; only Gu Ting was at home.
Two years ago, after their fallout, the Shen Family had been hoping for Shen Yan’s return.
Today, as Shen Yan came back, Gu Ting couldn’t help but tear up, “Come in, the rooms at home are just as you left them. Now that you’re back, don’t leave. Stay for the night.”
Shen Yan shook her head, “I have a flight this afternoon.”
Gu Ting was taken aback, “Leaving right after you arrive? Isn’t that too hurried?”
“I need to shoot the final episode of the show soon; I can’t stay here too long,” Shen Yan declined to go upstairs and visit her original room, preferring to leave it in its original state.
Hearing this, Gu Ting couldn’t hide her disappointment.
“Is Qi Si leaving with you?”
“He’ll return in a few days.”
Gu Ting’s eyes flickered slightly, “Did you stay at the Qi Mansion last night? Did your mother-in-law say anything unpleasant?”
“I didn’t have a chance to meet her,” Shen Yan knew what Gu Ting was worried about.
“If she dares to mistreat you, tell mom. I can handle people like that,” Gu Ting thought about Song Jinwei’s attitude towards Shen Yan and felt her anger rising.
“I can handle it.”
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Since you’re leaving this afternoon, stay for lunch.”
Shen Yan agreed with a smile.
Meanwhile, at another location, Qi Heng and Qi Si were sitting in a small office at Qi Group, discussing their withdrawal from the Qi Family.
