Chapter 318: Chapter 313: Zhai Xilan Chapter 318: Chapter 313: Zhai Xilan Qi Group Headquarters.

Previously, whenever Qi Si stayed in the Beijing headquarters building for a period, everyone would be on tenterhooks every day.

Today, that man, already cold and heartless, appeared as if he were a mine packed with explosives, radiating a dark aura of low pressure that swept across the vicinity, making everyone within several meters dare not approach, even those passing by a few meters away hurried on with their heads down, afraid to even glance his way.

Terrifying!

Especially those who entered his office to give reports, they would take in a deep breath, stiffen their scalps and shuffle inside, but when they emerged, their faces were ashen and their calves trembled!

More terrifying than the Demon King was this Demon God, whose very breath they could not afford to touch.

It meant death!

Shen Yan stared blankly outside the yard.

Her phone that was placed on the table rang several times without her answering.

After a pause, the phone buzzed again.

Finally, Shen Yan picked it up and saw it was Gu Ting calling, she sighed and answered.

An hour later.

At the entrance of a leisure club.

Shen Yan parked her car, glanced inside, and saw the elegant lady standing by the edge.

The lady lowered the sunglasses perched on her nose, looking her way: “Yanyan!”

Shen Yan drove into the parking garage inside, and upon exiting was smilingly linked arm in arm by Gu Ting.

Shen Yan looked down for quite some time and held back for a while before not shrugging her off.

“Yanyan, what’s wrong? Have you encountered some trouble?” Gu Ting was cheerfully asking, but upon seeing Shen Yan’s demeanor, her eyebrows knitted together.

“Nothing.”

“Did Qi Si bully you?” Gu Ting’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

Shen Yan unexpectedly thought of last night, her face grew hot, and then she thought of Qi Si this morning and shook her head: “No.”

“Or is it that woman surnamed Song who bullied you? I knew that woman…”

“No one bullied me,” Shen Yan said, “It’s my own problem.”

“What problem do you have?” Gu Ting was somewhat surprised: “Yanyan, you have no problem, whatever you do is reasonable, it’s the Qi Family who are inadequate.”

Shen Yan helplessly said: “You say that, but aren’t you afraid of spoiling me?”

“You are my daughter; we can spoil you all we want!” Gu Ting lifted her hand and touched the back of Shen Yan’s head, “Tell mom about it, don’t bottle it up.”

“Isn’t it so that elder brother and father are here? Let’s go to them.”

“They came here to relax and to discuss some business by the way. Let’s enjoy ourselves first,” Gu Ting continued to worry about her: “If the Qi house isn’t comfortable, come back to the Shen Family.”

“I’m accustomed to living there,” Shen Yan said softly.

Gu Ting couldn’t help but blame herself.

Was it a mistake to have done what they did back then?

It seemed her daughter was harboring a heavy burden, yet she refused to confide in her family.

A wave of sorrow filled Gu Ting’s heart, “There’s a tennis court up ahead, shall we play a few games?”

Maybe this way, Shen Yan could vent out the stuffiness in her heart.

Shen Yan nodded.

There were already quite a few people playing on the tennis courts, and Shen Yan didn’t bother changing into tennis sportswear as it felt like a hassle.

She walked onto the spacious court with a racket and balls in hand, looking to pick a spot to sit at random, but then she sensed someone looking in her direction.

She lifted her head and saw, across two nets, she made eye contact with Zhai Hong Shen.

Not only Zhai Hong Shen, but there were also several other men and women, one of whom was sitting in a wheelchair.

Upon seeing Shen Yan, they seemed to stiffen for a moment.

Shen Yan’s indifferent gaze fell on the woman in the wheelchair; her appearance was elegant and natural, and under the shine of natural light, she had a kind of refined and stunning beauty!

Shen Yan guessed that the other party was attractive but didn’t expect her to be this beautiful.

With such a woman chasing after him, had Qi Si really never been moved even for a moment?

Shen Yan just stood there, indifferently making eye contact with the other across the tennis net.

On the other side, Qi Ran, who had changed into her sportswear, came over with a racket in her hand and immediately noticed the somewhat stiff atmosphere in front. She paused for a moment and then greeted Shen Yan amiably, “Shen Yan, you’re here too? Are you with Qi Si?”

While speaking, she looked over Shen Yan’s shoulder but did not see a second familiar person.

Zhai Xilan, sitting in the wheelchair, stiffened upon hearing the name Qi Si.

Zhai Hongshen wanted to say something but then held back, also glancing behind her.

Shortly after, a well-dressed lady in sportswear appeared in everyone’s sight.

Somehow, everyone felt relieved.

They had said it, a person like Qi Si, how could he come to such a place.

“Yanyan, do you want to join us?” Gu Ting noticed the group of young people, her smile somewhat faint.

“No need,” Shen Yan pointed to a spot nearby, “This is fine.”

“Alright then! Being closer will be more lively,” so they picked a court just separated by one tennis grid and began to play.

Shen Yan was unfamiliar with this kind of sport, but by watching those nearby play, she quickly got the hang of it.

The mother and daughter were purely playing for exercise, without any particular rules.

The atmosphere on the other side of the adjacent court was somewhat strange.

“What are you all standing around for? Let’s play,” Qi Ran said with a smile, and everyone dispersed, with those not playing staying beside Zhai Xilan.

From the moment Shen Yan showed up, Zhai Xilan had kept her gaze fixed on her.

She wanted to see what Shen Yan, who she had not seen for such a long time, had become.

Her injuries were all thanks to Shen Yan.

In order to appease the Shen Family’s anger, Qi Si had treated her so harshly, even nearly sending her away.

Thinking of these things, Zhai Xilan’s face showed a mix of reluctance and annoyance.

Zhai Hongshen stepped in front of her.

“Brother…”

“Don’t show that kind of expression, Xilan. Don’t let yourself sink deeper. Let it end here.”

“But.”

“Shen Yan is no longer the Shen Yan of the past, and I have told you, hasn’t it? Qi Si has always treated Shen Yan very specially.”

Zhai Xilan’s face turned deathly pale, her hands clenched together.

That statement, like needles, repeatedly pierced her heart.

It was too suffocating.

In what way was she inferior to Shen Yan?

She had lost just because of a single sentence from Grandma Qi.

She had chased Qi Si for so many years, but in the end, she received such a ruthless treatment from him.

She felt that a large part of the reason was due to Shen Yan – if it were not for the verbal agreement between Grandma Qi and Grandma Shen, there would have been no Shen Yan in the picture, and she would now be the young madam of the Qi Family.

“Don’t talk about it anymore,” Zhai Xilan said with a wan smile.

Zhai Hongshen glanced over to where Shen Yan was and sighed, “Don’t stir up more trouble.”

Zhai Xilan forced a smile, “What trouble can I stir up now? However, I do want to go and say a few words to her. Brother, let me go over, please.”

Zhai Hongshen furrowed his brow, but ultimately nodded and pushed her wheelchair in that direction.

Seeing their movements, others followed the siblings’ actions with their gaze.

The men and women standing idly by also followed out of curiosity.

Qi Ran stopped and after a pause, followed behind them.

Gu Ting caught a ball and, turning her head to look at the group of men and women coming over, scoffed, “These young people really can’t stay still.”

Shen Yan raised her hand to catch a tennis ball and indifferently watched their approach.
