After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 386: Chapter 381: Senior Gathering Chapter 386: Chapter 381: Senior Gathering The next morning, Shen Yan and Qi Si went to the hospital together.

This was Shen Yan’s first time seeing Qi Si’s father.

Due to lying in the hospital bed for too long, Father Qi’s appearance looked somewhat sickly defeated, devoid of any vitality.

Qi Si only slightly resembled his father, while Qi Heng looked more like his parents; in Qi Heng, one could see the shadows of both Father Qi and Song Jinwei. Qi Si resembled Old Sir Qi more.

Or rather, he resembled Madam Qi.

Shen Yan had not met Madam Qi, but based on seeing that Qi Si only inherited about thirty percent of Old Sir Qi’s looks, she made an educated guess.

When Father Qi saw his eldest son and daughter-in-law, having just regained consciousness not long ago, he weakly waved his hand to signal them to sit down.

“The company had some issues,” the first thing Father Qi said concerned the company’s problems.

“I’m handling it.”

“A few days ago, someone came to me and complained about you, claiming your approach to handling that matter was too extreme. After all, he is your elder. He’s been on the board for such a long time; you should have given him some face. Openly causing him to lose face in front of everyone…”

Father Qi frowned more as he spoke, expressing dissatisfaction with how Qi Si had handled the situation.

In the room, no one said a word to interrupt the father and son’s conversation.

Qi Si spoke indifferently, “He went too far, and you don’t need to worry about these matters just after surgery.”

“If I don’t interfere, will you kick all your uncles out of the board?” Father Qi’s pale face openly showed his displeasure.

Qi Si looked at him calmly, without uttering a word.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Everyone held their breath, not daring to exhale loudly.

Shen Yan slightly frowned.

“I have control over the company’s matters.”

“If you had control, would you have kicked out several of the top managers while I was in bed? Qi Si, don’t be too ruthless; it will come back to bite you eventually.”

Father Qi’s expression turned displeased.

Even while lying in the hospital bed, he did not forget to reprimand his eldest son.

“The Qi Family is now in my hands,” Qi Si remained indifferent, completely disregarding the other’s expression.

Father Qi’s brows were tightly knit, and he reprimanded with a slight harsh tone, “Qi Si, do you know what they say about you in front of me? They say you’re cold-blooded, heartless, brutal, and have no concern for family ties… Every time they come to see me, they repeat these icy words.”

Shen Yan couldn’t listen any longer, “Mr. Qi ousted them from the group, and he surely has his reasons.”

In Shen Yan’s heart, Qi Si was not the cold-blooded and heartless person they described. If he were heartless, he wouldn’t have continued to endure because of his family’s attitude; he would have taken down all the Qi Family long ago and bound nobody with family ties.

Those who were truly heartless, they had not seen.

In Shen Yan’s eyes, Qi Si was someone with a cold exterior but a warm heart!

Father Qi was discussing serious matters with his son when suddenly an outsider’s voice interrupted, and his expression instantly became sharp.

Even the look he gave Shen Yan was the same.

If anyone else had been there, they would have been intimidated by his presence, but sitting across from him was Shen Yan, who was not at all afraid of the ailing patient in the hospital bed.

The Qi Family knew that Father Qi hated it most when someone made an untimely interjection during a serious discussion.

The Qi Family members standing in the room were now wishing to escape this hospital room.

Qi Si stood up indifferently, his tall figure conveniently blocking Father Qi’s cold gaze.

“We have other matters to attend to.”

With that, he turned, took Shen Yan by the hand, and left the hospital room.

He didn’t care how furious the people behind him might become after they left; he had grown accustomed to it.

Shen Yan, being pulled along, looked down and followed behind, “Mr. Qi, did I misspeak and cause you trouble?”

“No,” Qi Si stopped and turned to look at her, a gentleness in his icy eyes, “You said nothing wrong.”

Shen Yan looked up at him, “Don’t say something you don’t mean just to defend me.”

“You’re protecting me too.”

So, why couldn’t he protect her?

Shen Yan was taken aback, then laughed, “He was a bit excessive, scolding you in front of so many people. After all, you are the person in power at the Qi Family, he should look after his illness properly. Speaking up about company matters, bypassing you, was in the wrong.”

These words were particularly gratifying to Qi Si, and his eyes softened considerably, “You’re right.”

Why did she feel there was a hint of indulgence in his words?

Shen Yan blinked and looked back at Qi Si, only to see him raise his eyes toward her back.

“Brother.”

It was Qi Heng who had come after them.

Seeing this, Shen Yan said, “I’ll wait for you up ahead.”

Qi Si’s large hand gently brushed over Shen Yan’s head.

Qi Heng glanced back and forth between him and Shen Yan, “Can we talk again?”

“To the company.”

“Alright,” Qi Heng sighed with relief, “Dad was just…”

Qi Heng tried to explain for Father Qi, but Qi Si raised his hand, signaling that he need not say more.

Qi Heng swallowed his words several times.

Qi Si turned and walked away.

Ever since she had revealed her identity as a researcher to Qi Si, Shen Yan had unashamedly allowed Qi Si to take her to the research institute.

Qi Si was aware of the institute’s rules, so he would always drop her off outside, watch her go in, and then leave, never overstepping any boundaries.

The next day, Shen Yan received a call from Zhang Yu. They had already arrived in Beijing and learned that Shen Yan was also in the city. They were delighted and asked if she had also been invited to the opening ceremony.

Shen Yan had not received any such invitation to the opening ceremony and had asked Liu Su about it.

“Since you’re in Beijing, why don’t we find some time to meet up?” Zhang Yu suggested.

“I’m a bit busy with some things here…” Shen Yan felt somewhat awkward.

“No problem, we won’t be leaving Beijing anytime soon. We’ll meet up after you’ve taken care of your things!”

Shen Yan agreed.

“Shen Yan,” Vice Dean Shao approached Shen Yan, “come with me this afternoon to meet a few people.”

“Are they very important people?” Shen Yan put down her phone and turned to ask.

Vice Dean Shao looked in a certain direction, his expression somewhat different, “They’re back from the Tibetan Region.”

Shen Yan paused.

Researchers returning from the Tibetan Region?

She thought back to the incident that had happened the other night.

“Is there something you need me to do?”

“No, it’s to introduce you,” Vice Dean Shao said, “Lin Yan’s father participated in a special research project, and he’s highly accomplished in this area. He’s an authoritative expert in his field of study, and then there’s He Group Leader, who has never failed in his research endeavors. And Dr. Jian, oh, that’s Shen Ning’s mother; she will also be present.”

“A high-level gathering?” Shen Yan said.

Vice Dean Shao was momentarily taken aback, then replied, “Your description is apt, indeed, it is what one might call a high-level gathering. Any of these individuals could make a significant impact in Beijing. Shen Yan, I believe that you too will soon be one of them!”

The institute had great confidence in Shen Yan.

Yet, Shen Yan sneered inwardly, “I will not become any one of them.”

Noticing Shen Yan’s coolness, Vice Dean Shao couldn’t help but take another look at her, “You don’t like these gatherings? If that’s the case, I’ll decline on your behalf.”

“No, I’ll go.”

Shen Yan looked indifferently at Vice Dean Shao and turned to enter the lab.

Vice Dean Shao raised an eyebrow; Shen Yan’s attitude…
