After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 325: Chapter 320: He Needs Warmth Too Chapter 325: Chapter 320: He Needs Warmth Too Shen Yan covered her face, not daring to reminisce about the events of the day any longer.

Just then, the servant brought over her meal, which consisted of the dishes Shen Yan usually ate.

Liu Su called Shen Yan right on time, and as soon as Shen Yan spoke, Liu Su sensed that her tone seemed a bit different.

“Yanyan, Director Li has already sent a notice about ‘Jinyi Qimen’. You should start getting ready too.”

“Wasn’t the male lead not yet decided last time? To start filming so soon? Has Director Li gathered enough funding?” Talking about work, Shen Yan couldn’t help but ask a few more questions.

“The male lead is Li Yanbai,” Liu Su revealed directly.

“It’s him,” Shen Yan said, “If Director Li can afford him, the box office is guaranteed.”

“It was facilitated by the Bai Family. The funding from the Bai Family alone is enough. We don’t need to worry about the expenses,” Liu Su paused before saying, “You said you went to Beijing for some business. Is everything taken care of?”

“Everything’s been dealt with,” Shen Yan cleared her throat, “I can return to Shen City at any time.”

She still had many a ‘soul illness’ to cure; now was not the time to indulge in romantic fantasies.

“That’s good. About Mr. Qi, you can tell him yourself. I won’t convey the message.”

“Okay.”

“Return to Shen City in the next few days and meet with the rest of them first.”

Liu Su did not mention who the other actors were.

After responding to Liu Su, Shen Yan called Professor Lin, “Professor Lin, I need to leave Beijing in the next couple of days. If the research project needs me, I’ll make time to come back.”

“Getting busy again?”

“Yes, I’m joining the crew.”

“Acting, huh,” Professor Lin was a bit taken aback, as Shen Yan’s displayed abilities had made everyone temporarily forget that she was part of the entertainment industry.

Hearing her say this now gave him a dreamlike illusion.

“What kind of drama are you shooting?” Professor Lin asked with a smile.

“I can’t reveal that just yet. If things go smoothly, it could be finished in a month or two,” Shen Yan said, frowning slightly.

Her ‘soul illness’ had a one-month deadline. During filming, she needed to get herself trending once or twice to alleviate it.

After assuring Professor Lin that she would be in touch with Beijing before joining the crew, he finally backed off from suggesting that Shen Yan should leave the entertainment industry.

If Shen Yan was willing to leave the entertainment industry to focus on research, her achievements would surely be extraordinary.

Qi Si did not come back the whole night and did not send her any messages or calls.

Shen Yan was alone for breakfast in the morning.

With Qi Si absent, Shen Yan had no desire to stay in the Qi Mansion.

She sent Qi Si a message saying she was going out.

As she drove out, she encountered Song Jinwei’s car returning at the second gate.

Song Jinwei’s car stopped to one side, blocking her way out.

Shen Yan had no choice but to stop and look at her.

“Going out early in the morning?” Song Jinwei’s tone wasn’t very pleasant.

“Is there something you need, Miss Song?”

Can’t she say hello for no reason?

Song Jinwei’s expression turned slightly cold, “I’m your mother-in-law.”

“I’m well aware of that.”

If it weren’t for that kinship, Shen Yan wouldn’t even give her a second glance.

Look at that attitude.

Song Jinwei took a deep breath and said with a cold face, “Qi Heng has run into some trouble outside. As his sister-in-law, say a few good words for him in front of Qi Si.”

“Are you commanding me?” Shen Yan pointed to herself.

Song Jinwei’s brows twitched as she gritted her teeth, “Please.”

“I think you are just the one who can help Qi Heng, Mr. Qi is very busy,” so let’s not bother your eldest son.

“…If I could help, would I need you to bring this up?”

“Qi Si is your son, shouldn’t you reflect on why you can’t bring yourself to say this?” Shen Yan looked quietly at Song Jinwei, causing her eyelids to twitch incessantly.

What kind of look is this in her eyes?

And now, a younger generation is lecturing an elder.

Song Jinwei’s face turned cold, “Shen Yan, this is not your concern.”

“Then you have no right to ask me to do anything for the Qi Family, Miss Song. Have you ever considered why Qi Si isn’t close to you? Or have you ever thought about how lonely Qi Si has been since he was a child? Because of your favoritism as parents, you’ve neglected him, held him to higher standards than your younger son, put all the pressure on him, while your younger son has lived a carefree life. Is this fair to him?”

Song Jinwei’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Are you lecturing your mother-in-law now?”

“Just a reminder, lest you elders remain unaware of your own mistakes.”

“We haven’t done anything wrong. We held him to high standards because we hoped he could…”

“Could do what? Carry on the family business for you, or take over the role of the parents for you, pampering your younger son? Cleaning up the messy aftermath? Qi Si is also your son, and I despise parents like you who show such extreme favoritism. If you can’t maintain balance, then you shouldn’t have children recklessly.” Shen Yan’s tone was chilling, even her gaze was icy.

It’s unclear what came to her mind, but there was something frightening about her manner.

Even separated by the distance of two car doors, Shen Yan’s stare made Song Jinwei stiffen all over.

This Shen Yan…

Why does she have such a frightening gaze?

Even more impactful than how she was that night.

The Shen Yan they knew was not the real Shen Yan, was it? The one before them must be.

Song Jinwei, reprimanded by someone junior to her, turned a ghastly pale.

“We didn’t favor anyone,” she wouldn’t admit any such thing.

Qi Si is so capable, Qi Heng needed more support from his parents, it was beyond her control.

She had tried to get along with Qi Si, but with Qi Si’s face always so cold and unpleasant, who could get close?

This was not her fault.

Seeing that Song Jinwei didn’t admit her mistake, Shen Yan let out a cold laugh, “You think Qi Si is so tough that he doesn’t need anyone, right? But, no matter how strong a person is, they still need warmth, someone who cares about them. Are you, so strong-willed, no longer in need of love from your husband? From your parents? No matter how strong Qi Si is, he is still a human being made of flesh and blood.”

She paused there.

Then gave Song Jinwei a mocking smile.

Song Jinwei’s face turned ashen, staring fixedly at Shen Yan.

Even Song Jinwei’s driver was frightened into silence, shrinking away to make himself as unobtrusive as possible.

“Bang.”

Shen Yan started the car, nudging it forward slightly as she left.

The driver quickly swerved the car aside to make way.

Song Jinwei sat in the back with an iron-clad face, motionless for a long while.

It wasn’t until Shen Yan’s car had disappeared from sight that Song Jinwei suddenly moved, “Shen Yan, how dare you… How dare you lecture me…”

The driver asked, “Madam, do we go back or…” chase after her.

Song Jinwei glared at the driver.

The driver fell silent.

“Go back,” Song Jinwei took a deep breath and closed her eyes firmly.

In her mind, Shen Yan’s words echoed repeatedly.

She reflected back on the past, subconsciously pondering whether she really had shown favoritism.

Realizing she might truly have not cared enough about Qi Si, thinking that it all didn’t matter to him, when actually, it could have a great impact on a child…

Song Jinwei’s complexion turned from green to white, ultimately unwilling to admit the truth that she favored her younger son.
