Chapter 401: 401 Dirty hands, I’ll do it.

Yan Shixiu helped Shi Lan to her feet, squeezing her tightly. After exchanging several glances, Yan Shixiu turned and headed to the conference room.

Shi Lan sat back on the sofa, instructing Xun Yinghua to bring Yan’s mother back and place her in her original spot.

"You may leave now," Shi Lan ordered Xun Yinghua.

Xun Yinghua felt that Shi Lan’s tone was cold, her aura reminiscent of the young Miss Shi from the past.

At this moment, Yan’s mother finally remembered who the girl before her was, saying, "We met last time at the Heavenly King’s banquet. You have always been opposing my daughter."

"Do you know why I oppose your daughter?"

"You are an artist in her company."

"I am Yan Shixiu’s wife," Shi Lan said to Yan’s mother without any hesitation.

Yan’s mother was utterly shocked, clearly unaware of Yan Shixiu’s remarriage.

"You know better than anyone what Yan Ziqing is deluding herself about. I oppose her for the sake of my husband."

"I used to think you were indifferent and biased, but at least you were quiet and harmless. Now, I think you are even more malicious than those two. You have known the truth and were the most lucid person all these years, yet you kept sacrificing Yan Shixiu over and over. I can’t feel any guilt from you toward him. Not to mention the banquet three years ago, you knew what Yan Changming was thinking, but with just a few words from Yan Ziqing, you pushed Yan Shixiu out without hesitation."

"You’re telling me now that you have a conscience?"

"You said you opposed Yan Changming taking Yan Shixiu back home and stayed by Yan Changming’s side to ensure Yan Shixiu’s safety. If you really wanted to protect Yan Shixiu and hated Yan Changming, you could have directly sought the Lian Family, but you didn’t."

"All these years, you turned a blind eye, letting that father and daughter take advantage of Yan Shixiu as they wished. And now you come to him claiming guilt?"

"Killing his parents, taking over his wealth, and then controlling and manipulating him, how dare you show your face here?"

Listening to Shi Lan’s accusations, Yan’s mother sobbed uncontrollably on the sofa.

"Although you are heartless, you did ensure Yan Shixiu’s success in certain aspects. I won’t do anything to you, but I will make you watch, wide-eyed, the fate of those two people you’ve shielded and protected for the rest of their lives."

"I will make them spend a lifetime repaying the pain and torment Yan Shixiu endured, and I will make that father and daughter experience everything Yan Shixiu went through."

"Moving on, let’s talk about something else. Two years ago, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you approached Shi Lan for the sake of your imprisoned brother. Do you remember what you said?"

Yan’s mother’s eyes suddenly widened, staring at Shi Lan because no third person knew about this matter.

"You said, ’Shi Xiu has only this one uncle.’"

This time, Yan’s mother’s pupils didn’t just quiver, she was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"I said, ’He never even bought Yan Shixiu a piece of candy, what kind of uncle is that?’"

At Shi Lan’s words, Yan’s mother’s legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground.

Shi Lan bent down, grabbed her chin, and forced Yan’s mother to look her in the eye, "As long as I’m by his side, no one shall bully him. I will slay gods and Buddhas if I have to! I’m giving you a chance to go back and send a message."

Having said that, Shi Lan let go of Yan’s mother’s chin, turned her head towards the door, and said, "Yinghua, see the guest out."

By then, Yan’s mother was utterly terrified, sitting dazedly on the carpet.

Not until Shuangshi’s men escorted her out of the door did she feel the temperature of the ground, burning hot and scalding.

Yet, her hands were trembling.

"Mrs. Yan, a car has been arranged for you to take you back. This is the last shred of dignity our lady has left you with."

...

After Yan’s mother left, Shi Lan stood outside the conference room of Shuangshi for nearly an hour.

The longer Yan Shixiu stayed inside, the longer she waited.

Originally, the conference room door was tightly closed, but Yan Shixiu knew there was someone outside, so he had Xun Yinghua open it, allowing her to watch openly.

The Shuangshi employees noticed a woman at the door, frequently turning to look back.

Although they did not know who the woman with the cap and mask was, her relationship with President Yan must be no ordinary one.

When Yan Shixiu noticed they were constantly distracted, he stopped and said, "Curious, are you? That’s my wife."

Everyone was stunned and incredibly shocked, not expecting President Yan to have remarried so secretly.

Shi Lan crossed her arms, deliberately covering the tattoo on her wrist, not fully revealing her identity.

After they knew her identity, the staff in the meeting, though still uneasy, became much more serious.

Shi Lan watched Yan Shixiu intently; he hid again. Even though he had suffered such a heavy blow, at this moment, he sat in the main seat, once again the ethereal Yan Shixiu of everyday, whose joys and sorrows were imperceptible to others.

His endurance and resilience, like a bottomless pit.

Having watched enough and stood enough, Shi Lan then returned to Yan Shixiu’s office, made a call to Huo Zhao, and asked Xun Yinghua to retrieve the surveillance from the reception room just now.

After finishing these tasks, Shi Lan returned to the door of the conference room, causing the people present to increase their vigilance once again. What’s with this lady?

Having a meeting but still keeping such a close watch?

Miss Shi didn’t see any issue with it, "I watch my man, and my man lets me watch. What does it have to do with you?"

Yan Shixiu glanced towards the door, the previously uncomfortable spot in his heart had now vanished without a trace.

Twenty minutes later, the meeting was declared over.

While the meeting was not yet dispersed, Yan Shixiu sat in the main seat, his eyebrows raised, reminding, "My remarriage is my personal affair. If I hear anyone speaking recklessly behind my back, the consequences may not be so pleasant."

"Understood, President Yan."

"Adjourned."

The attendees hurriedly left the conference room, each passing by Shi Lan, but no one dared to confirm her identity.

The spacious conference room soon had only Yan Shixiu remaining.

The tall and handsome man beckoned to her.

Shi Lan walked in and sat on the edge of the table. At that moment, Yan Shixiu embraced her and said, "Hot like charcoal."

"Still hugging me when it’s hot." Shi Lan struggled.

"I am too cold."

Shi Lan hugged him back and said, "President Yan’s bed is not cold at all."

"I meant my heart."

"From now on, I will accompany you through every difficult moment, I won’t miss any more."

The two stayed in the conference room for twenty minutes, and when they came out, the staff around began to stealthily glance at them, noticing new red marks indeed on President Yan’s throat.

Back in the office, Shi Lan said to Yan Shixiu, "The person, I’ve sent back to the Yan Family."

"Hmm." Yan Shixiu responded.

"Uncle Yan, I want to kill someone." Shi Lan said, tapping on his desk.

Yan Shixiu grabbed her hand, kissed it, and said, "Dirty your hands, I’ll do it."
