Yan Shixiu merely took the documents. He couldnât stay in the Yan Family any longer, so he quickly left.
The red wine must have been received, but isnât she going to come and say thank you?
In fact, Miss Shi didnât feel she needed to thank anyone at all. Who knew her âbackyard was on fire,â and could still be in a position to give thanks?
So, if she were to contact Yan Shixiu, it would definitely be to ask this scumbag if he had ever secretly flirted with any young ladies, do dead people have no dignity?
Shi Lan always felt that she had a clear conscience regarding the Yan Family.
Three years ago, the Yan Family was on the brink of bankruptcy, and Yan Shixiu was forced to show up at various social events. Back then, his scholarly aura had not yet dissipated and he seemed very gullible.
At that time, the old Mr. Shi had passed away not long before, and Shi Lan smoothly took over the Shi Family business, for her, there were no obstacles as long as she willed it. So the female tycoon claimed Yan Shixiu, cleared the Yan Familyâs debt, and preserved their wealth and honor.
Even later, when she refused various unreasonable demands from the Yan Family, she never felt she owed that scumbag anything.
But the Yan Family, insatiable as they were, held a grudge against her ever since.
Of course, this did not include Yan Shixiu. From the beginning to the end, he was clean, with his spine straight. Whether it was life after marriage or their matrimonial home, Yan Shixiu took it all upon himself.
Afterward, he did not want to have any dealings with the Shi Family, starting a company from scratch. The profits of the last two years were sent to Shi Lanâs account in one fell swoop, so Shi Lan couldnât understand him, nor see through him.
As for Miss Shiâs state of mind at the time, she couldnât comprehend why heâd want to return it. âIâve given it to you, weâre married, why do you still want to return it to me? Do you only see me as a tool for borrowing money?â@@novelbin@@
From Yan Shixiuâs perspective, he was a man who abandoned literature for business, earning money to repay debt and provide for the family and wifeâit was all natural to him. He repaid the money believing that was what the Yan Family owed; he didnât want his relationship with Shi Lan to have been unequal from start to finish. Hence, there was always a divergence in their thoughts.
Yet even so, Shi Lan never lumped him in with the rest of the Yan Family.
She just couldnât understand, especially after her death, why Yan Shixiu would rather give up the Shi Familyâs wealth to take over the company she had founded. She was even more baffled.
The wealthy businesswoman Shi Lan passed away at twenty-eight years old, never trusting anyone, but Yan Shixiuâwas the exception!
That was also why she could fall asleep beside Yan Shixiu.
â¦
That night, Shi Lanâs insomnia persisted.
To avoid looking too haggard, Shi Lan got up at five in the morning to jog. By the time Sun Ling woke up and called someone, Shi Lan was already ready to go.
Sun Ling rubbed her eyes and suddenly remembered what Shi Lan had told her yesterday, âAn Lan, youâre suffering from insomnia, arenât you? Donât panic, Iâve already placed the order and asked the store to expedite the delivery. Just hang in there. Or, shall I sleep with you tonight?â
Shi Lan leaned against the door and couldnât help but chuckle.
By age, Sun Ling was several years older than her, but she was amused by her every day.
âWerenât we supposed to go for the fitting early?â
Sun Lingâs attention was successfully diverted, and she nodded, âRight, the producer notified us to be there by seven, and also, youâre filming your first scene with Gu Chengyu today. Is that okay?â
âWhatâs the problem?â Miss Shi raised an eyebrow and retorted, âHavenât you figured out whether Iâm a bootlicker or not?â
âAnd Tang Ze also said that you might be actingâ¦â
Shi Lan: ââ¦â
Great, speechless.
âAn Lan, a lot of people are watching today. You have to show them what youâre made of. Letâs do a good job and give that scum a taste of his own medicine, revenge to the end!â
At that moment, Shi Lan really wanted to know, just how many narratives these people had created for her!
