After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

“I’ll stay with you, Qi Si, I can also do some things within my power for you,”

Shen Yan knew that once Elder Qi passed away, a series of problems would emerge within the family, and outsiders would follow suit, attempting to bully the Qi Family.

The Qi Family’s position in Beijing was too prominent, and the people Elder Qi interacted with normally were those who maintained the stability of the Qi Family.

With Elder Qi gone, those who were short-sighted began to set their sights on the Qi Family.

The most troublesome were the internal relationships.

If someone were to exploit the disharmony within the family to muddle the situation or even defeat the Qi Family, all that Elder Qi had maintained before would have been in vain.

Qi Si wordlessly pulled her into his arms, “I need to return to headquarters tomorrow and send the children back to Shen City first.”

“What, is something about to happen in Beijing?” Shen Yan’s heart tightened.

“No one can touch the Qi Family,” Qi Si narrowed his black eyes, his voice icy, “Even if it’s someone from the Qi Family itself, I won’t allow them to destroy Grandpa’s hard work.”

“I will arrange for someone to take the children back; I’ll stay with you,” She wouldn’t feel at ease letting her go back to Shen City alone.

Qi Si might not be a fragile person, but she felt heartache for him.

The next day.

After Shen Yan had handled the children’s return trip, she went straight back to the Qi Mansion.

Qi Si had already entered the headquarters. As expected, some people wanted to take advantage of the situation and stir things up.

The internal conflicts within the Qi Mansion were also becoming clear.

Some wanted to take over Elder Qi’s position. Elder Qi had no shortage of cousins; they had once followed Elder Qi to fight battles, and now that Elder Qi was gone, it was their turn to enjoy the “territory.”

Father Qi had a tough standoff with the uncles at home, but they had strength in numbers, and even with Song Jinwei’s assistance, they were repulsed by the uncles’ nasty attitudes.

Shen Yan just stood by and watched as they held one family meeting after another, with no change in the contentious topics.

They wanted to take charge!

But traditionally, Elder Qi was the one in control, and now Qi Si had the capacity, so the power within the clan should belong to Qi Si.

But there were too many instigators within the family, and they started arguing with each other with heated words.

For such a large family to be in such a state, it was a joke.

Shen Yan watched the meetings with detached coldness, figuring out the focal point of their discussions; the third family meeting was still specifically timed for when Qi Si was dealing with issues outside.

These elders were also afraid of Qi Si being present, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

When someone mentioned that the family needed older elders to take the helm, Shen Yan couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh. Dozens of eyes suddenly turned toward her. In a chilly voice, she said, “Grandpa Qi just passed away and you’re in such a hurry to seize power; aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughingstock to those outside? Third Elder, I know you are now the eldest elder in the family, with great influence over the younger generation. But have you considered whether your sons and grandsons have the ability to shoulder the responsibility? Your health isn’t ideal either, right? If there’s a significant issue within the clan, can you truly stand up and take on such burdens?”

Her words directly insulted Third Elder’s family by implying his children were incompetent.

As Shen Yan’s elder, he immediately got furious and slammed the table.

“Shen Yan, you’re just a daughter-in-law who married into the family, what right do you have to speak to your elders like this? A little starlet who can’t even get on the stage, you have no place in the Qi Family’s important affairs.”

His words were quite direct, not concealing their disdain for Shen Yan at all.

“A little starlet?” Shen Yan sneered. “Are you sure about that?” The elder who had spoken stiffened.

They had clearly forgotten Shen Yan’s achievements at the research institute.

Shen Yan, this “little star,” was even more successful than these elders of hers.

Even if Third Elder were brought into question, there was a good chance he wouldn’t measure up to Shen Yan’s achievements.

Additionally, Shen Yan was Qi Si’s wife, essentially the lady of the house, and thus she had the right to stand here and converse with her elders.

Shen Yan looked around, “Long ago, Grandpa Qi handed over the head of the household authority to Qi Si. Once Grandpa Qi passed away, Third Elder led the younger generations of the family in a struggle for the position of his grandnephew. Word of this going out would shame the elders completely.”

Since they weren’t being polite, there was no need for her to be overly courteous with them.

“Shen Yan…” The man beside Third Elder Qi looked extremely displeased.

“Ninth Uncle,” Shen Yan narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly, “if you want to usurp Qi Si’s authority, you better weigh the consequences.”

“Is this Qi Si’s intention?”

“It’s my intention,” Shen Yan looked at Third Elder Qi, “You all are well aware of the current situation of the Qi Family. Outside threats are still awaiting Qi Si’s handling; if you wish to become his inner threat, I won’t mind taking a hand in resolving the family’s troubles.”

Hearing Shen Yan’s words, some faces turned livid, while others smirked with contempt and disdain.

Most of them did not believe that Shen Yan, mixed up in the entertainment industry, had such capability.

Even Father Qi and Song Jinwei could only bear grievances; why should Shen Yan be able to make such bold statements?

The family business was too large, and Qi Heng was also busy helping Qi Si, unable to find the time to deal with these people at home alongside his parents.

“Shen Yan is our Qi Family’s daughter-in-law. If it weren’t mentioned today, I wouldn’t even know this is how you all thought of Shen Yan,” Song Jinwei laughed coldly, her look towards them full of scorn, “If you all continue to squabble like this, we won’t need outsiders to trample us; the Qi Family will self-destruct. Do you really want to continue arguing like this? Shen Yan, you are Qi Si’s lawful wife, you make the decision. I’d like to see who dares to challenge your qualifications.”

Shen Yan nodded, “If the esteemed elders feel wronged, I do have a method to resolve the current dispute.”

Hearing Shen Yan’s words, the older generation frowned, “Let’s hear it.”

They did not want to let go of the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, so they were also curious to hear what she would propose.

“Let’s divide the family assets.”

As soon as Shen Yan’s words fell, everyone was stunned, then filled with rage.

“Shen Yan, what do you mean by suggesting this?”

“She wants to tear apart our Qi Family!”

“Nothing good up your sleeve.”

“How dare you say such a thing; aren’t you afraid Elder Qi will rise from his grave to settle the score with you?”

“Did you plot this from the beginning? Tell us, is Qi Si also behind this idea?”

Shen Yan sat there, composed and calm, watching their endless chatter and angry expressions.

“Rather than letting you all muddle the family, it might as well be divided now, so everyone can be at peace,” Shen Yan’s gaze swept over them: “However, we must take the lion’s share of the assets upon division. As for your shares, we will decide how to distribute them.”

“What!”

They all stared wide-eyed, disbelieving at her.

“Shen Yan, you think…”

Shen Yan narrowed her dark eyes, “If we truly were to calculate, some of you wouldn’t even qualify for a small share.”

Those with no significant contributions turned even paler, their faces darkening.

“Shen Yan, don’t be too arrogant.” An infuriated roar!

Shen Yan remained seated calmly, her face bearing a sneer. The elder who had shouted felt a chill down his spine when met with Shen Yan’s pitch-black gaze.
