After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity
Chapter 323 - 323 318 StupidChapter 323: Chapter 318: Stupid! Chapter 323: Chapter 318: Stupid! A figure dashed out swiftly, but was still half a beat too slow. His hand had just touched the wheelchair when Zhai Xilan fell to the ground on the spot, grazing her arm and emitting a sharp cry of pain.
Zhai Hongshen hurried to help her up and right the wheelchair, then a crowd swarmed around them, “Xilan, are you okay?”
Seeing the great concern of the crowd, Zhai Xilan, with a pale face, forced a bitter smile and shook her head.
Everyone’s gaze then turned to Shen Yan, who had remained motionless on the steps from beginning to end.
As if there was absolutely nothing before her eyes, these people might as well have not existed.
As Zhai Xilan’s gaze moved upward, everyone also looked towards Shen Yan, their eyes full of blame and anger.
“Shen Yan, you’ve gone too far,” someone immediately voiced their accusation.
“It’s not Shen Yan’s fault,” Zhai Xilan had Qi Ran pull up her sleeve. Seeing the scrapes on her elbow, already beading with tiny droplets of blood, looked painful.
Qi Ran frowned and looked at Shen Yan, seeing Qi Si and the others emerge from behind her, accusingly said, “Shen Yan, I know you don’t like Xilan, but she’s hurt like this, can’t you let her go? You have a truly ruthless heart.”
Qi Ran had held back during the basketball game.
But seeing Zhai Xilan fall like this, she couldn’t hold back any longer.
It was still unclear whether Zhai Xilan had any other injuries or if something had broken from the fall.
If not for Zhai Hongshen being a step quicker, she might have landed headfirst.
Landing on the head was no joking matter.
This was practically attempted murder by Shen Yan!
“Qi Ran, it really has nothing to do with Shen Yan, it was my own…” Zhai Xilan’s face turned ashen, her words of pitiful explanation somehow made it seem even more like it was Shen Yan’s fault.
Sure enough.
The people around Zhai Xilan angrily condemned Shen Yan.
“What’s going on here?” Hearing someone cursing at his own daughter like that, Gu Ting’s face instantly darkened, his cold glance sweeping over the group of people below.
Qi Si positioned himself next to Shen Yan, not needing to say a word; a single look silenced the clamoring crowd.
Shen Yan observed Zhai Xilan with a mocking gaze before slowly raising her hand and pointing to the ceiling, where two surveillance cameras were positioned on either side of the door.
Zhai Xilan’s face turned even paler, pulling a bitter smile, “Really, it has nothing to do with Shen Yan, it was just my own carelessness.”
“Foolish.”
Shen Yan tossed two words at Zhai Xilan indifferently.
Zhai Xilan’s face immediately turned a ghastly shade of green and white!
“What, has the Zhai Family resorted to playing petty tricks now? Miss Zhai, your life was not easily saved; don’t play yourself to death,” Gu Ting recovered and sneered unkindly.
Zhai Xilan’s face whitened yet a shade further, not daring at all to see the look Qi Si was giving her.
“The women of the Zhai Family, no more than this,” Shen Zheng also spared no courtesy in delivering a blow to the Zhai Family.
Zhai Hongshen’s forehead throbbed with bulging veins. He had nothing good to say at this point and could only hope Zhai Xilan would stop playing such little games.
Everyone was no fool; it was clear for all to see.
Did she think by doing this, Qi Si would take pity on her?
Dream on.
A man who could so cruelly hurt her was never going to be possible. How could she still not understand the current situation?
Those who had been accusing Shen Yan on behalf of Zhai Xilan suddenly found themselves in an awkward position.
Just as Zhai Hongshen had thought, nobody was foolish. With Shen Yan’s single gesture, everything became clear.
For a moment, everyone’s gaze toward Zhai Xilan shifted slightly, unsure whether to advise her or to feel pity for her.
The man she was pursuing had never even given her a second glance.
“The elders of the Zhai Family’s education also leave much to be desired,” Shen Zuo said soothingly, successfully making Zhai Hongshen feel extremely awkward.
Qi Si glanced at those present. With one look from Qi Si, the crowd was so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Would they dare accuse Shen Yan in front of Qi Si, fearing he would seek revenge behind their backs?
It was rare for someone to withstand Qi Si’s retaliation. Just look at Zhai Xilan to understand.
So what if they had known each other since childhood? He wouldn’t hesitate to target you.
Moreover, there was the connection with Zhai Hongshen, and yet Qi Si didn’t give him any face at all.
Qi Si didn’t mind if Zhai Hongshen sought revenge for his sister, but by doing so, their friendship would be over.
“Today’s incident was our fault to begin with. Shen Yan, I’m sorry,” Zhai Hongshen sighed, taking the initiative to apologize to Shen Yan.
Shen Yan didn’t care at all. Her indifferent gaze fell on Zhai Xilan as she said, “Miss Zhai, I hope you’ll be just as lucky next time.”
Zhai Xilan pursed her lips tightly, her fingernails digging into the flesh of her palm.
She knew that what she had done was extremely foolish. Once matters of the heart were involved, even the smartest minds could become muddled.
And she was one of them.
Zhai Xilan gave a silent, bitter smile.
“Also,” Shen Yan took a step down, and then suddenly spoke out again, causing everyone to look in her direction, “Did you only investigate me at first? Qi Si has already looked into it thoroughly. Otherwise, why would he have struck out at Miss Zhai on my behalf? Miss Zhai, that time it was merely tit for tat. Since you’ve done it, brace yourself for the backlash. And remember one thing, the Shen Family never laid a hand on you from start to finish.”
Zhai Xilan’s face changed color again, and even Zhai Hongshen furrowed his brows, staring at Shen Yan.
Shen Yan was not joking with her words.
Observing the reaction of the Shen Family, Zhai Hongshen felt a great headache coming on.
How did things end up like this?
“Yanyan is right. The reason our Shen Family let you off so easily is because we have a good son-in-law who handled it for us,” Gu Ting said, smiling and echoing Shen Yan’s sentiment.
With Shen Yan being so direct, the Shen Family needed to keep pace.
The usually gentle and refined Shen Zuo looked at Zhai Xilan with a cold gaze.
Shen Zheng also stood by Shen Yan’s side, “Zhai Hongshen, take care of your sister. If my sister suffers even the slightest grievance again, I’ll be the first to hold the Zhai Family accountable.”
Zhai Hongshen said, “This kind of thing won’t happen a second time.”
Shen Zheng: “It’s for the best.”
The Shen Family’s lack of action did not signify a lack of strength.
Zhai Xilan’s lips were nearly bitten through.
Raising her eyes to meet Qi Si’s emotionless, icy stare, Zhai Xilan lost all color and trembled with fear.
*
Once they left, Zhai Hongshen’s face darkened as he said a few words to everyone, then he had his driver come over and take Zhai Xilan away immediately.
Qi Ran was somewhat regretful.
She knew Qi Si must have heard the words she had spoken on behalf of Zhai Xilan.
Thinking of Qi Si’s retaliation against her, Qi Ran could no longer stay put. She needed to return and find Song Jinwei.
“Xilan, I thought you had learned your lesson and wouldn’t make such foolish mistakes again, but your actions today are very disappointing,” Zhai Hongshen said coldly as he pushed Zhai Xilan towards the arriving car. “Once we’re home, as long as Shen Yan and Qi Si are in Beijing, you’re not to go out again.”
“Brother, are you imprisoning me?” Zhai Xilan asked incredulously.
“This is your punishment, Xilan. Don’t make me find a way to send you abroad permanently, never to return,” Zhai Hongshen said methodically, uttering words that terrified Zhai Xilan.
If Zhai Hongshen said it could be done, it surely would be.
She didn’t want to go abroad!
Zhai Xilan’s grip turned her hand white: “I will stay home and heal properly.”
