After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 227: Chapter 227: The Few Family Members Worth Having Chapter 227: Chapter 227: The Few Family Members Worth Having “Is Mr. Qi going back to the company?”

Shen Yan, sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head towards the man with a stern look in his eyes and asked.

Qi Si’s hands were long and well-proportioned, his knuckles pronounced, gripping the steering wheel with an impressive sense of power!

Such hands would surely look great playing the piano!

Shen Yan observed carefully and noticed some long-accumulated marks at the base of his thumb, her expression slightly moved.

“I’ll drop you off first.”

“Will it delay your work?”

“No.”

“Then I don’t need to go back to the Qi Mansion, I’ll head directly to the airport, I’ll just let Uncle Liu know.”

As she said this, Shen Yan called Liu Su, informing him that she had already packed her suitcase when she got up that morning and he could just collect it and take it to the airport.

Liu Su went back to the Qi Family to get Shen Yan’s luggage.

Once they arrived at the airport, they waited for Liu Su to come.

“Please tell Grandpa Qi for me that I’ve gone back to Shen City first.”

“Mm.”

“I should ask for their WeChat contact details.”

“They wouldn’t know how to use it.”

“Nowadays, the elderly aren’t as old-fashioned as you think, Mr. Qi. I’ve seen many senior actors use mobile phones even better than me. Compared to them, some young people seem more like cavemen.”

Qi Si, who hardly used mobile phones: “…”

“Next time I see them, I’ll ask for it. I will pick out the family gifts carefully when I get back, and then I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Qi, to have them sent back to Beijing.”

“Mm.”

“It seems you don’t communicate much within the Qi Family either. With some family members, you just make do where you can, right? Don’t wait until one day you want to make amends – by then, it’ll be too late.”

As Shen Yan spoke those words, she couldn’t help but think of the Shen Family again.

A family like that sounded pretty high-end, but the elders were cold as ice, like medieval monks devoid of passion and desire.

If needed, they would sacrifice their own children, considering such acts a so-called greater good. But to her, the people of that family were nothing but cold-blooded devils.

Qi Si and Shen Yan sat in the car waiting. Hearing Shen Yan’s words, Qi Si couldn’t help but glance sidelong at her.

His dark, deep eyes were calmly watching her.

Shen Yan met his gaze evenly.

“There aren’t many family members worth cherishing.”

He spoke with a detached calmness, and Shen Yan felt she could glimpse a hint of disappointment and coldness towards his family in that calmness.

If he hadn’t been capable and resourceful, how could he have stood firm?

The family itself would have devoured him completely.

Song Jinwei thought he had it easy, and even his father, who could no longer get out of bed, felt that Qi Si was too pragmatic and disrupted the peaceful coexistence of the family, making them all uneasy.

The man was bedridden; couldn’t he see that sometimes the family’s interests were a joke?

Why was he bedridden? Was that accident truly just an accident?

There were times when Qi Si genuinely considered abandoning his own father.

Without Grandma Qi and Grandpa Qi, he himself wouldn’t know how many ‘accidents’ he would have experienced.

Qi Si didn’t want to look back; he preferred to look forward now.

Hearing his words, Shen Yan’s gaze also darkened slightly.

At dinner the day before, she had noticed that although the Qi Family elders spoke words of congratulations with smiling faces, the fear in their eyes when they looked at Qi Si couldn’t be faked.

Thinking of how Qi Si had struggled to grow up in such a cutthroat and tumultuous family, her heart ached.

It was evident from how Song Jin cared for Qi Heng that he received more protection from his parents than Qi Si did.

“Mr. Qi…” Shen Yan’s voice sounded somewhat distressed, “if you have any problems in the future, I can also help.”

Qi Si was taken aback and couldn’t help but look at Shen Yan with a gentler gaze.

Liu Su arrived quickly, and Qi Si escorted Shen Yan to the front boarding gate. He watched Shen Yan and Liu Su disappear in that direction and stood for a long time before turning around and walking away.

Ignoring the gazes from those around him, all the natural chill that emanated from Qi Si’s body was drawn back in.

The buzzing phone in his pocket was taken out by slender hands, and a deep, cold voice transmitted, “What is it.”

“What is it?!” The person on the other end suddenly raised their voice, “You still ask me what is it, how could you just agree to Qi Heng’s request? Do you even consider Qi Heng as a brother? Have you wanted to kick out your brother all along? Is it the result of your manipulation behind the scenes that he had such an idea? Are you satisfied now? Everything he had is now yours…”

Qi Si hung up the phone expressionlessly.

When Song Jinwei tried to call back, the phone was already turned off.

Song Jinwei’s face turned an angry shade of iron blue.

After Qi Heng left, no one knew where he ran off to. They couldn’t find him; his phone was also turned off.

That’s why Song Jinwei unleashed her anger on Qi Si.

Now, she was growing more and more suspicious that Qi Heng’s actions were a result of Qi Si’s manipulation from behind the scenes.

Sitting on the plane back to Shen City, Shen Yan was still thinking about Qi Si.

She turned around and asked Liu Su again, “Uncle Liu, is this how Mr. Qi and the Qi Family interact?”

“Interact?” Liu Su was caught off guard by the question, “The master has never liked being with his family. He was raised at Madam Qi’s since he was very young. Later, there was a time when the Grand Madam personally had the master brought back to their side, saying that Young Master Qi Heng had no playmates…”

Shen Yan frowned, “Just because Qi Heng had no playmates, he was forcibly taken back?”

Liu Su said, “At that time, the Grand Madam and the others didn’t live in the main mansion; they had their own residence outside, which was a bit far away. Everyone was busy with their careers and tended to neglect the master a bit, which led to the master developing such a character…”

Liu Su worked in the main mansion, so he wasn’t very familiar with Qi Si’s life outside.

By the time they saw Qi Si again, his character had already been set.

Whether it was elders or children, no one liked the gloomy and ice-cold Qi Si.

Only Grandma Qi kept saying how much she pitied the child and finally warmed Qi Si’s heart again after using many methods.

Shen Yan kept frowning as she listened.

The more she learned about Qi Si, the more her heart ached for him.

She understood that feeling!

The world around her, devoid of even a hint of warmth, such a life was truly numb…

Returning to Shen City, Director Li called Liu Su, asking Shen Yan to prepare for a recorded broadcast in a week.

This survival show was the last episode, and everyone was both anticipating it and feeling a bit reluctant to let go.

“Extreme Speed” would also finish their training in a week, just in time for the recording of the show.

Qi Si still had to stay in Beijing for a while, as there seemed to be some internal issues that required his personal attention.

Shen Yan couldn’t help but think of the cutthroat darkness.

With the Qi Family being such a large family, internal power struggles would be inevitable.

Shen Yan felt both heartache and worry.

Back on campus, Shen Yan was still worried that something major could go wrong on Qi Si’s end.

She then remembered his habit of getting little sleep, and her brows knitted tightly.

Qi Si must be under a lot of pressure.

“Shen Yan, what are you thinking about? You’re so engrossed,” Lin Shuangxu patted Shen Yan’s shoulder, “You haven’t had any negative hot searches recently, and your fans have been stable. The way you were frowning just now, it looked like something big had happened.”

Shen Yan concealed her outward emotions.

Lin Shuangxu sat down and pointed at the gathering poster on her phone, “Shen City’s big gathering of gods is quite an event, attracting hackers and big names from all over! Remember that ‘Big Fireworks’ we helped deal with before? I heard that this mysterious big shot will be there too. Now everyone has signed up and received invitation codes. We’ve received several codes; let’s go together!”

Shen Yan: “…”
