After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 98: Chapter 098: Qi Si is Coming to Visit Her Class Chapter 98: Chapter 098: Qi Si is Coming to Visit Her Class Gu Ting’s gaze shifted to Qi Si, and the words she was about to utter froze halfway.

Qi Si had a way of making a perfectly fine atmosphere turn extremely cold and rigid. Just sitting there in silence, he exuded an unspoken harshness that could not be suppressed.

Imagine someone like that sitting at a festive banquet—the joy being played out would twist into something bleak and desolate!

Gu Ting silently drank a cup of cold tea to ward off the chill.

Song Jinwei’s brows were deeply furrowed.

The Qi Family—no one wanted to sit with someone who could ruin the mood just by showing up.

Qi Heng gathered his thoughts for a while before forcing a smile and looking towards Qi Si, “Big brother.”

Qi Si looked back at him.

His deep, pitch-black eyes were devoid of any emotion.

Even the usually lively Qi Heng was momentarily choked up.

“At least put on a decent face in front of the elders. Don’t always look so sour.”

Song Jinwei had held back for a long time but couldn’t restrain herself from chastising him.

“It’s fine, it’s fine,” Gu Ting quickly interjected to smooth things over, seeing the way the mood was going, “That’s just how Qi Si is, everyone knows that.”

“It’s a good thing the Shen Family is aware of his temperament. Elsewhere, just one of his looks could lead to countless misunderstandings,” Song Jinwei said, expressing her dissatisfaction with her eldest son.

“Mom,” Qi Heng quickly interjected, “Big brother has a heavy burden to shoulder. If he put on a friendly face all the time, it would make others think he’s easy to bully.”

“We are in front of your in-laws now, not outsiders! If he thinks the burden is too heavy, he should let you share some of it,” Song Jinwei’s frown deepened.

Qi Heng was embarrassed.

Qi Si watched indifferently, saying nothing.

Gu Ting shrank back, trying to make herself less noticeable.

Glancing at Qi Si, who was as cold as a block of ice, Gu Ting felt sorry for her daughter.

How could Yanyan stand someone like this?

“You guys talk.”

Qi Si dropped these three words and got up to leave.

“Big brother!” Qi Heng, surprised, followed him quickly.

Song Jinwei’s brows knitted even more fiercely as she turned to Gu Ting, “Gu Ting, Qi Si here is not planning to have a wedding, just registering the marriage. How is your Shen Family going to deal with this?”

Gu Ting did not dare to say that it was her daughter’s idea.

“To speak of dealing with it seems a bit exaggerated,” Gu Ting straightened up, “It’s the children’s affair, we as parents shouldn’t interfere too much. If the young people have their own ideas and don’t want to have a wedding, then let it be. The Shen Family has no objections.”

“How can that be acceptable? Our families are marrying off our children, it’s not child’s play. Not having a wedding would be a laughingstock for the people of Beijing,” Song Jinwei’s frown tightened.

“The Shen Family doesn’t care much for outsiders’ opinions. Let’s leave the decision to the young people,” Gu Ting did not agree with Song Jinwei.

Hearing Gu Ting’s words, Song Jinwei’s tone became more resolute, “When two families are joined in marriage, it’s no longer a personal matter for the children. The wedding must happen, and it must be a grand one.”

The Shen Family might not care about what outsiders think, but the Qi Family could not afford to lose face.

No wonder the Shen Family raised such a daughter; she was spoiled into being this way.

Gu Ting’s smile faded, and she looked at Song Jinwei seriously, “Don’t you think you’re a bit too controlling over your children?”

“I’m not being controlling—”

“As long as the children’s ideas are not illegal or leading them astray, I hope they can live according to their own thoughts, not always following what the family elders want. You’re squeezing your children, not raising them. Let me be frank, whether in the past or now, I have never wanted Yanyan to marry into the Qi Family.”

Song Jinwei’s face darkened, “Yanyan marrying into the Qi Family is not marrying down. Also, the marriage alliance has already shown that there’s no difference between our Shen and Qi families—we’re both pressuring the children.”

Nobody was better than the other.

Gu Ting’s expression changed, and she sternly shifted the conversation, not wanting to discuss the purpose of the arranged marriage, “Do you know why I don’t want Yanyan to marry into the Qi Family?”

“Why?”

“Because I’m worried about her having to deal with a mother-in-law like you, and that her days ahead will be difficult.”

Song Jinwei’s eyes went wide.

Gu Ting was so direct—wasn’t she afraid of Song Jinwei turning against her on the spot?

Regardless of how unpleasant Song Jinwei’s expression was, Gu Ting continued in a slow voice, “Now that we’ve laid our cards on the table, let me make it clear that after the children get married, the Qi Family should try to interfere as little as possible in their affairs. You know how much my eldest son dotes on Yanyan. If she were to suffer any grievance in the Qi Family, I fear he would come knocking on your door with a sword in hand.”

Song Jinwei’s lips curled into a cold sneer, “The two haven’t even married yet, and the Shen Family is already so eager to send warnings to the Qi Family.”

Despite Gu Ting’s seemingly weak and frail appearance, there was no lack of forcefulness when she spoke those words.

Gu Ting smiled, “Isn’t this just a matter of time? I’m just afraid that you’ll turn into a wicked mother-in-law, so I’m reminding you.”

“Gu Ting!” Song Jinwei couldn’t help but growl softly.

“If it wasn’t for the decision of the arranged marriage by the elders of both families, those two kids wouldn’t have a chance.” Gu Ting smiled softly, “Therefore, for the sake of the long-term cooperation between our two families, you need to be a good mother-in-law.”

Song Jinwei’s sharp gaze turned gloomy.

In terms of presence, Song Jinwei was indeed far superior to Gu Ting.

But Gu Ting was the one who, with her soft tone, spoke the firmest words.

*

Outside.

Qi Heng was unable to catch up with Qi Si and could only watch helplessly as the car sped away into the distance.

With a helpless smile, he then pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it up, and leaned against the metal pole nearby, slowly exhaling and inhaling the smoke!

From a very young age, he knew how much his family favored him.

When his mother told him to marry Shen Yan, he was resistant. He had met Shen Yan many times and, although she wasn’t barbaric enough to be unlikable and even had moments of grace typical of a young lady of status, he just didn’t like the person Shen Yan was.

He was certain his older brother would like that kind of woman even less.

Furthermore, this woman was blatantly fond of another man in her heart.

Shen Yan would suffer a lot if she married his older brother.

But he didn’t feel the slightest sympathy for Shen Yan.

“Life in the Courtyard” had been filming for six days when Li Xu returned.

Because of that injury, Bai Bai missed several days worth of opportunities to increase popularity, which put Li Xu at a disadvantage.

When Shen Yan saw Li Xu, she couldn’t help but scrutinize him carefully.

Having struggled through such environments herself, she could tell, despite Li Xu’s good disguise, that this public figure was a bit different.

The signs were too obvious.

Shen Yan’s scrutiny wasn’t very apparent, but at lunchtime, she suddenly received a message from Qi Si.

“Arriving at the filming location tomorrow.”

Shen Yan: ?!?

Was Qi Si coming to visit her on set?

Shen Yan stared at the brief message over and over.

After making sure she wasn’t seeing things, she turned to reply.

“Is Mr. Qi coming to visit my set?”

The response came back within a minute.

“Yep.”

That ‘yep’ felt peculiarly familiar.

Shen Yan looked puzzled.

Why would he come to visit her on set?

This wasn’t in line with Qi Si’s usual way of doing things.

Shen Yan had a feeling that this set visit was different.

Because of Qi Si’s advance notice, Shen Yan had some trouble falling asleep that night.

She even woke up once in the middle of the night to the sound of Qin Dingyue’s soft snoring. Shen Yan picked up a small pillow and tossed it over.

“Smack!”

Qin Dingyue’s head was hit, she touched it, then shrank back, smacking her lips, “Pancakes… I want the ones with scallions…”

Shen Yan: “…”
