After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Disliking Our Attitude Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Disliking Our Attitude After the afterparty, Qi Si escorted Shen Yan to see off the Shen Family members, then turned around and took Shen Yan to return to the Qi Mansion with the Qi Family.

This was Shen Yan’s first time stepping into the Qi Mansion as Qi Si’s wife.

Just like she imagined, from entering the gate to going inside, she could feel a strong sense of serenity.

Quiet and calm, it didn’t seem like anyone lived there.

The Shen Family estate was very large; even driving around it would take about half an hour.

Shen Yan was taken to a detached courtyard on the south side, planted with plenty of seasonal flowers, emanating a fresh scent as soon as one entered.

This was where Qi Si specially had someone prepare in advance, the furnishings inside were still very simple, but every arrangement was the most high-end available.

Being able to make a living space that was both rustic, with a bit of freshness and coolness, was quite impressive.

Qi Si brought Shen Yan inside and pointed out one of the rooms before Uncle Liang called him away.

While Qi Si went to see Elder Qi and the others, Shen Yan wandered around the small courtyard. Several rooms were available, but only two had been specially cleaned; Qi Si made no secret of telling others that they were currently sleeping in separate rooms.

Shen Yan didn’t know what Qi Si was saying over there, but after she had washed up and sat in the soft armchair, flipping through her phone for half an hour, he still hadn’t returned.

Since the last time she and Qi Si inexplicably trended online, she hadn’t appeared in the trending searches again.

Thinking about that “soul sickness,” Shen Yan put down her phone with a bit of annoyance and walked out.

Outside was a very clean cement path surrounded by manmade plantings of trees, grass, and some artificial rocks, with a stream and bamboo further ahead.

Shen Yan walked along the pebble path, admiring the night scenery nearby.

Ascend the small stone steps, and upon reaching a platform half a person tall, she heard voices from a corridor ahead.

The figure standing in the corridor turned around, and under the night light, saw Shen Yan.

Qi Heng’s gaze flickered, said a few words to the person on the phone then hung up before coming out, “Sister-in-law.”

Remembering the unpleasantness of their last encounter, the look Shen Yan gave him was indifferent, not wavering in the slightest.

“Is this your residence?” Shen Yan glanced behind him, noticed a detached courtyard not far away, and turned to leave.

Qi Heng: “…”

How much disdain must one have to ask a question and then turn to leave right away?

“It’s not,” Qi Heng said, “That’s my parent’s place. My dad’s not doing too well, and when he heard Sister-in-law had come to our home, he mentioned wanting to see you. If Sister-in-law isn’t in a hurry, maybe we could go see him with Big Brother tomorrow.”

“If Mr. Qi is willing to take me there, naturally I am willing to visit,” Qi Si had not taken her there, which meant that he probably didn’t want her to meet his father.

Qi Heng raised an eyebrow, didn’t press the issue of Father Qi, “My mother’s behavior was somewhat lacking today, I apologize on her behalf.”

“There’s no need,” Shen Yan’s tone was faint, “Miss Song acts according to her conscience, I have nothing to criticize.”

Qi Heng’s frown deepened, “Are you blaming my mother?”

“Far from it,” Shen Yan stated, “If Miss Song dares to instigate her son to go to Shen City to make me leave the entertainment industry, whatever she does or says after won’t surprise me.” After saying this, Shen Yan paused, then added, “Wait here for a moment.”

Having said that, Shen Yan turned and headed down the stone steps, her steps quick and steady.

Qi Heng’s phone rang again, and by the time he had finished the call, he saw the figure who had appeared like an elf, weaving through the artificial scenery and reappearing before him.

Song Jinwei’s red packet appeared in front of Qi Heng, exactly as it was given.

Qi Heng’s gaze darkened as he furrowed his brow, staring at Shen Yan, “What do you mean by this, sister-in-law?”

“At the dinner table, it wouldn’t have been right for me to refuse and cause your mother to lose face. If I didn’t return it, I feared that as soon as I turned around, you might say I coveted your red packet,” Shen Yan spoke bluntly, not at all intimidated by Qi Heng’s gloomy look.

Shen Yan handed the red packet back to Qi Heng and stepped back, adopting a stance as if she wanted to maintain a certain distance from him, which made Qi Heng’s brow twitch violently.

“By doing this, aren’t you afraid of chilling the family’s heart?”

“It was you who chilled my heart first. What, do you expect me to actively warm your hearts? You and Miss Song have been dissatisfied with me from the beginning, haven’t you? Since that’s the case, it’s enough to keep up appearances in public; there’s no need for anything beyond that.”

Qi Heng stared at Shen Yan, his gaze growing even deeper.

“Since my mom gave it to you, it’s yours,” Qi Heng returned the red packet to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan didn’t even look at the red packet that landed in her hand and placed it on the stone table before turning to leave.

Qi Heng: “…”

*

Qi Heng took this red packet to the study, where Song Jinwei was working, and placed it in front of her.

As soon as Song Jinwei saw the red packet, her brow jumped, and she looked at her son, “What’s the meaning of this?”

“Sister-in-law returned it to you.”

“What, does she think it’s too little?” Song Jinwei’s voice rose slightly.

Qi Heng shook his head, “It’s our attitude she finds lacking.”

Song Jinwei let out a cold laugh, “Does she expect us to bow down to her three times and kowtow nine times? Every single one of the Qi Family people, they all gave special red packets behind my back, thinking I wouldn’t know what they’re up to. They want to make me look like the wicked mother-in-law in front of everyone.”

Song Jinwei still remembered the way Old Sir Qi looked at her, and even now, it sent shivers down her spine!

“Mom, since elder brother has already accepted it, can we just let this go?”

“Your elder brother secured most of the decision-making power through this marriage. And you? You’re just managing a minor subsidiary. Doesn’t that feel unjust to you?” Being her most beloved son, how could Song Jinwei stand to see him at a disadvantage, “You’re my son too. If there’s going to be a division, it should be even—a half for each person, that’s only fair.”

“Mom, I don’t have elder brother’s capabilities.”

“Qi Heng, don’t sell yourself short. You just don’t have the same power, and many decisions are made bypassing you. Given the chance to be involved, you might not be far behind your elder brother at all.”

Qi Heng was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked Song Jinwei, “Mom, is elder brother really our biological child?”

Song Jinwei glared, “Of course your elder brother is our biological child. Where did you hear such nonsense?”

“Then you…”

“He is the elder brother; we may be stricter on many aspects, but your dad and I still love your elder brother,” Song Jinwei sighed, “Your dad and I were too busy with our careers back then and neglected him a lot, which made him distant from everyone and always carrying a sour face. As he grew, he became closer to your grandmother and held resentments towards your dad and me.”

Qi Heng said, “If that’s the case, shouldn’t you and dad try to compensate elder brother even more?”

“That…” Song Jinwei was at a loss for words.

“Elder brother has never spoken ill of you and dad,” Qi Heng ruffled his hair, “Mom, I know you want to fight for more for me, but I don’t want you to intervene. I will earn whatever I can on my own.”

“With all the real power in elder brother’s hands, how will you get your share? Qi Heng, don’t start battling with your elder brother. Our family absolutely cannot tolerate such infighting…” To maintain family harmony, Song Jinwei had approached Qi Si on several occasions, hoping to have him personally make concessions.

It was not her desire to see the brothers clash, resulting in a bloody struggle that would disrupt the entire family’s peace.
