After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 317: Chapter 312: Punish Her? Chapter 317: Chapter 312: Punish Her? Under the pavilion outside another small courtyard ahead, warm lights illuminated the clean bluestone slabs, reflecting the luster of emerald green, a clear sign of their venerable age.

At this time, each tile and brick was extremely luxurious.

Even the three women standing before my eyes were cast in a light of supreme chill and nobility!

There were switches for raising and lowering the pavilion’s sides, and at this moment, three sides were enclosed, leaving only one side open for entry.

Inside, rosewood tables and chairs were arranged, with hot tea and some authentic Beijing pastries and snacks just delivered by the servants.

But these items remained untouched.

For there were no children here who fancied these treats, and the adults were so preoccupied with their careers that they hardly had time to sit down and enjoy what they considered childish snacks.

The three of them took their seats on three sides of the table.

The scent of tea could not dispel the sudden chill that had set in.

The two women sitting opposite her were not Shen Yan’s favorites, so she had no plans to break the silence.

If Qi Ran had any sense, she would have found an excuse to leave earlier.

But she had chosen to sit down and join in on the fun of the in-law squabble.

Indeed.

Qi Ran was there to enjoy the show, keen to witness the sight of Shen Yan being “suppressed” by Song Jinwei.

However, the scene that unfolded immediately made Qi Ran take a second look.

Facing the rumored Iron Lady, Shen Yan remained composed, sipping her tea slowly after sitting down, not even glancing at Song Jinwei across from her.

Song Jinwei was well aware that Shen Yan was no longer the Shen Yan of the past, who now carried herself with a defiantly cold and arrogant demeanor in her presence.

Indeed, in Song Jinwei’s eyes, it was only because of the Shen Family’s backing that Shen Yan dared to be so insolent before her.

“Do you intend to stay in Beijing?” Song Jinwei asked coldly.

“I don’t have such plans for the time being,” Shen Yan answered truthfully.

Shen Yan’s frequent returns to Beijing had given the Qi Family such an impression.

Song Jinwei stated coldly, “I don’t care where you plan to settle down, but you must not do anything that affects the entire family.”

“Have I done anything so outrageous?”

“You’re involved in that kind of circle, it’s only a matter of time before something happens,” Song Jinwei certainly didn’t believe the entertainment industry was clean.

“Qi Si has never been worried about these things, Miss Song is over-concerned,” Shen Yan replied.

“Are you suggesting that I, as your mother-in-law, am too nosy?” An icy tone crept into Song Jinwei’s voice as her expression chilled further.

Shen Yan said indifferently, “So Miss Song does realize she’s been too meddlesome.”

Pfft!

Qi Ran couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

She looked at Shen Yan as if she had seen a ghost.

It was as if Shen Yan had just spoken some unspeakable blasphemy.

She dared to speak to Song Jinwei in such a manner? Unheard of!

“Shen Yan!”

Song Jinwei yelled furiously.

After drinking two cups of tea, Shen Yan stood up, undisturbed, and said, “If you’re hoping to persuade me to leave the entertainment industry, save your effort. I’ve been absent for a while, and Qi Si will be worried.”

Song Jinwei was so angry her face turned unpleasant, her body trembling slightly.

Shen Yan nodded lightly to the two women inside before turning on her heel and leaving the way she came.

“Bang!”

The teacup in Song Jinwei’s hand shattered.

Qi Ran remained silent, gaining a new level of respect for Shen Yan in her heart.

This daughter-in-law was becoming increasingly displeasing and detestable to Song Jinwei.

*

As Shen Yan was making her way back, she caught sight of the tall figure standing outside the courtyard.

She stood behind a cluster of flowers, looked at the breathtaking silhouette in the night, and smiled before suddenly launching an attack in that direction.

The figure that had been standing still suddenly moved.

Recognizing the leaping silhouette, his striking motion came to an abrupt halt and turned into an embrace.

In an instant, Shen Yan sprang onto Qi Si, supported by his hands.

Hooking one hand around his neck, she blinked in front of his chest, “Mr. Qi’s reflexes are very cool!”

Qi Si’s brow furrowed slightly, his tone serious and admonishing, “Don’t do something so dangerous, I would have reacted.”

“I just wanted to try…” Shen Yan deflated slightly.

“Even a try is not allowed, I nearly didn’t stop…” Qi Si’s gaze darkened: “You must not do such things again.”

“Oh,” Shen Yan replied somewhat dryly, patting his iron arm, “Put me down.”

Qi Si held onto her without loosening his grip.

“Mr. Qi?”

Qi Si’s eyes, hidden in the shadows, were so deep they made Shen Yan’s heartbeat accelerate fiercely.

They were too close to each other, and this position was also quite ambiguous…

Suddenly, Shen Yan’s back was against the blue brick wall by the door, and before she could react, Qi Si could no longer restrain himself, launching an assault on her defenses.

Not until Shen Yan felt the warmth inside the room and the door was pushed open did she suddenly startle.

“Mr. Qi!”

Her voice was somewhat panicked.

Qi Si’s movements were already moving downward…

Shen Yan trembled at the thought, was Qi Si punishing her for her earlier actions?

The next second, her mind went blank, unable to think any further.

…

Severely lacking oxygen, Shen Yan suddenly came back to life.

Her hair was stroked, Qi Si’s large hand brushed her forehead, almost scalding her with its heat.

“Qi Si…”

Qi Si said nothing, straightening her disheveled clothes, “Don’t do that kind of thing again.”

He really was punishing her!

How could Qi Si scare her like that…

Shen Yan curled up in the thin blanket, turning her back to him.

Qi Si sat on the bed’s edge, his gaze softer than he realized.

His hand lightly brushed her disheveled ink-black hair, “Who did you meet.”

The husky voice in the darkness was thrilling.

Shen Yan pursed her lips, “How did you know.”

“For the Qi family members, there’s no need to forcibly conform. Just be yourself.”

“Mmm…”

Qi Si pulled at the corner of the blanket, covering her smooth, fair shoulder that was exposed to the air.

In the darkness, his gaze glowed deeply, as the man’s Adam’s apple slowly rolled a few times.

Slowly, he stood up.

His voice was hoarse, “Rest well.”

Shen Yan turned abruptly, only to see his tall figure with his back to her, and then he closed the door without hesitation.

The room returned to silence.

*

Shen Yan covered herself and slept until dawn, expecting to have a restless night, yet unexpectedly, she didn’t dream at all.

Her sleep was surprisingly good.

Shen Yan walked out to see Qi Si also coming from another room, blinking and trying not to turn her head away.

Feeling a chill emanating from Qi Si’s body, Shen Yan paused and blurted out, “Mr. Qi, did you take a cold shower this early?”

His sleep wasn’t very good, and taking cold showers day by day, could his body withstand it?

Shen Yan frowned, disapproving of his actions.

Qi Si didn’t respond to her, just watching her with an increasingly profound look.

After saying this, Shen Yan realized something, and her face flushed red.

He must have been thinking about it all night; otherwise, why would he still take a cold shower in the morning.

She could feel the chill of the cold water from him at this distance, how long did he shower for?

Luckily it wasn’t winter now.

Otherwise, with his showering habits, he would surely end up in the hospital.

Qi Si deeply watched her for a while before retracting his gaze, speaking faintly, “I will be back late today.”

After saying that, he strode away.

Not staying to have breakfast with her as usual.

Shen Yan watched his departing figure, frowning.

Was Qi Si angry?

Because of her rejecting attitude last night?

Shen Yan pressed her lips together, casting her eyes down, lost in thought.
