After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity
Chapter 377 - 377 372 Personally Confirming. PointlessChapter 377: Chapter 372: Personally Confirming. Pointless Assumptions Chapter 377: Chapter 372: Personally Confirming. Pointless Assumptions Qi Si suddenly wanted to see her, which made Zhai Xilan both shocked and delighted!
The shocking part was that Qi Si had sought her out suddenly—had he discovered her secret collaborations with outsiders?
No, it absolutely had nothing to do with her; she was forced into it.
If she did not cooperate, that woman would kill her, so it was completely unrelated to her.
Having composed herself, Zhai Xilan wheeled herself to the front of the villa to meet the unexpectedly arriving car, despite the unease in her heart; but the joy of seeing him now completely covered everything else, leaving only sheer happiness in her eyes and heart.
As the car stopped, the tall figure of Qi Si appeared in Zhai Xilan’s sight.
Unable to contain herself, Zhai Xilan pushed forward in her wheelchair, looked up slightly with a smile on her face and in her eyes, “Qi Si!”
Qi Si just stood before her, looking down at her, his eyes devoid of any human emotion.
Zhai Xilan chose to ignore those lifeless eyes, her smile brightening even more, “I heard you came specifically to see me! I’m very pleased!”
Her words were hardly reserved.
From the moment he appeared, her gaze had been fixed solely on him, while the object of her stares remained unresponsive.
“Miss Zhai, we have found out that you have been in contact with outsiders,” the bodyguard standing next to Qi Si said as he opened the tablet and handed it to Zhai Xilan, “If it were anyone else, we wouldn’t have bothered, but Miss Zhai seems very keen on watching our lady. Consequently, Mr. Qi had to come personally to confirm this.”
The data displayed on the tablet only proved that Zhai Xilan had used her phone to contact people outside, without any actual evidence of Zhai Xilan hiring someone to harm Shen Yan again.
Zhai Xilan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Qi Si had absolutely no evidence to prove she had harmed Shen Yan.
It was about Shen Yan again.
Zhai Xilan lowered her gaze, a cold glint flashing through her eyes.
For Shen Yan—Qi Si was willing to come in person to ask questions, which undoubtedly showed the outsiders how much he valued Shen Yan.
“Qi Si, I haven’t done anything. My phone has been in my bedroom untouched for the past few days. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my servant. Besides, phone contact does not necessarily mean active engagement from my side. With so many spam calls and messages these days, it’s normal for me to accidentally answer a few calls from outsiders.”
Zhai Xilan gripped the handle of her wheelchair a bit harder.
She couldn’t afford to slip up in front of Qi Si.
“You should be thankful to have a brother like Zhai Hongshen.”
Qi Si finally spoke.
His words, however, made Zhai Xilan’s heart involuntarily tighten.
Zhai Xilan pursed her lips, and after a moment, looked up at Qi Si, “Yes, I am fortunate to have such a brother. But I don’t regret it, Qi Si—I can’t suppress my feelings for you. I really, really like you. At first, I thought I had a chance, but then you chose Shen Yan because of a verbal marriage pact. Do you know what my reaction was when I heard that you took her with you to Shen City?”
Qi Si coldly said, “That has nothing to do with me.”
Zhai Xilan silently gave a bitter smile and asked a pointless question, “If the verbal promise to Grandma Qi had been with my grandmother, would you have married me without hesitation?”
“It’s meaningless.”
The way Qi Si looked at her was as if he were looking at a piece of junk.
His declaration of “meaningless” referred to her hypothetical scenario.
Even if that scenario had been true, he would not have treated her the way he treated Shen Yan.
Thinking back to what Shen Yan had done for him initially, Qi Si felt that their marriage would probably have been destroyed before it even started.
Both he and she were trying to find ways to smoothly sabotage the marriage; they might have gone through the registration of the marriage, but it surely would not have lasted more than six months before dissolving.
Their personalities clashed like opposing forces, making it difficult for them to get along.
Originally, he had been prepared to go to the cemetery and apologize to Grandma Qi.
But he hadn’t expected things to develop to this extent…
It was completely contrary to the married life he had imagined!
Undeniably, he was deeply attracted to Shen Yan!
Vaguely, he was very aware that the meeting in the living room that day had many different aspects to explore.
The reaction on the day of the car accident seemed to confirm something.
Qi Si’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed, making his icy expression even more terrifying.
“Qi Si, I am not inferior to her, can you…,” take another look at me.
“Qi Si.”
The car behind him stopped, and the person inside got out quickly, their heartbeat speeding up at the scene in front of them.
Zhai Hongshen, worried that Zhai Xilan might have spoken offensive words again, hurriedly got out of the car to intervene.
Qi Si glanced at him indifferently.
Seeing that the situation was somewhat diffused, Zhai Hongshen breathed a sigh of relief, “Xilan, have you been doing anything unnecessary lately?”
“Brother, I haven’t done anything,” Zhai Xilan forced a smile, “Why do you all think I would do disgraceful things behind the scenes? I’ve already apologized to Shen Yan, but she doesn’t want to listen. It was an accident at the door that day, not what you all think.”
“No matter what we thought,” Zhai Hongshen frowned deeply, “as long as you didn’t do it, none of it will hold. But if you dare do those things again, the Zhai Family won’t stand by your side either, do you understand?”
“I know,” Zhai Xilan’s smile grew even more bitter, “you all only care about Shen Yan, no matter what happens to me.”
Qi Si spoke softly, “I’ll go first.”
“Yun Dan has set a place, are you going over tonight?”
“I will arrive on time,” Qi Si said, turning and getting into the car to leave.
Zhai Hongshen didn’t know what Qi Si had just been saying to his sister, but it seemed there had been something else unsaid before he interrupted.
Zhai Hongshen sighed.
Qi Si had given him some face.
“What have you been doing behind the scenes,” Zhai Hongshen’s gaze chilled, staring at Zhai Xilan, “if you don’t tell me, and something happens later, even I won’t be able to save you. Qi Si won’t always turn a blind eye for my sake, Xilan, because of you, my relationship with Qi Si is getting more strained.”
“Then don’t bother with me,” Zhai Xilan clenched her teeth and turned her wheelchair away.
“I really don’t want to bother with you, but you’re a Zhai, my own sister,” Zhai Hongshen said through gritted teeth.
Zhai Xilan closed her eyes tightly, “I secretly loved him for so many years, yet it’s all overridden by a mere verbal marriage agreement, how ridiculous.”
“Zhai Xilan!” Zhai Hongshen shouted angrily.
Zhai Xilan’s figure trembled, and she said hoarsely, facing away from Zhai Hongshen, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything foolish.”
The more she said that, the more uneasy Zhai Hongshen felt.
After Zhai Hongshen left, he quickly made calls to have his people check on the individuals Zhai Xilan had been in contact with recently.
The servants in the villa simply couldn’t answer all his questions.
After everyone had left, Zhai Xilan took out another mobile phone, opened a message, and then dialed a number, “I got this number from someone named Suo Min; she said if I couldn’t reach her, I could contact you, alright, as long as you can do it, I can give you what you want.”
