After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity

Chapter 604: Extra: Hand in Hand (Extra Completed)

Shen Yan’s public image as a good person added a lot of color to her reputation, and no matter how the Qi Family tried to tarnish it, they only succeeded in smearing themselves, earning the ire of the circle and being cursed as heartless and ungrateful. If it weren’t for Old Sir Qi, would the Qi Family have achieved its success today?

Yes.

There were indeed many inheritances passed down from the ancestors, but by the generation before Old Sir Qi, they had nearly been squandered. Without Old Sir Qi’s efforts to turn the tide, the Qi Family would have ended with the generation before him.

So, the credit indeed goes to Old Sir Qi.

Now that Old Sir Qi had just passed, members of the Qi Family emerged one after another, fighting for power and property and attempting to sideline the direct descendants of Old Sir Qi—truly a sight so disgusting it was nauseating.

Those who had originally agreed to work with Third Elder Qi to overthrow Old Sir Qi’s lineage withdrew as soon as they sensed the shift in the wind.

Without outside assistance, the Qi Family members couldn’t cause much trouble. Inside the house, they were suppressed by Shen Yan, and outside, by Qi Si’s extensive clean-up; anyone who tried to rise up was pushed back before they could even start.

In a matter of days, the Qi Family was shocked to discover that this seemingly harmless daughter-in-law was actually so ruthless and decisive.

She dealt with the family members harshly, refusing to offer explanations and relying solely on force to resolve matters.

For over a decade, they had been blind.

The once harmless woman had transformed into a violent woman they dreaded to speak of.

Shen Yan had reasoned with them before; but since they never gave her the opportunity to argue her case, why waste her breath?

What was there that couldn’t be settled by a beating?

If one beating didn’t suffice, then two, three…

There would eventually be a day they obediently complied.

Sure enough.

Her actions were effective.

The Qi Family members stayed quietly at home, no longer causing messy troubles, becoming agreeably docile.

With Qi Si handling the company’s affairs and sparing some energy to address the family conflicts, there was no need for his intervention since the family members had already been tamed by Shen Yan.

Third Elder Qi fell ill, lying on his bed only able to voice weak protests. Others didn’t dare to trouble Shen Yan.

Because at the beginning, they took advantage of the situation, but Shen Yan was impervious to their tactics, retaliating and leaving them wounded all over.

After that, even if some wanted to use family elders as an excuse to reproach Shen Yan, they dared only think about it and not act on it.

Father Qi and Song Jinwei kept a close eye on Shen Yan’s conduct and had long since declared that they supported all her actions.

Whatever troubles Shen Yan caused, they were behind her, ready to clean up the mess.

With combined efforts at this time, no problem was insurmountable.

It was only because of this that Shen Yan was able to smoothly handle the family’s troubles without further distracting Qi Si from his work.

They had stayed in Beijing for ten days to half a month, and the three children at home would call her from time to time to ask when she would return to Shen City.

“Everything will be settled soon, just be good and listen at home in Shen City.”

“Mom, is it hard dealing with the house matters?” Qi Muyu was somewhat worried, “I heard from my cousins that the family has been making things difficult for Dad and you.”

“Everything has been taken care of. What, are your cousins still gossiping about these things to you?”

Qi Muyu immediately understood what Shen Yan meant and said, “The cousins can distinguish right from wrong, we’re not little anymore.”

“Although we are family, we have made enemies within the clan, and we can’t avoid being remembered for it in the future. You need to be clear about this in your mind.”

Shen Yan was reminding her daughter that it’s necessary to be cautious even if one shouldn’t harbor the intent to harm others.

Qi Muyu nodded, “Mom, I understand. If you and Dad need help, I can be of assistance too.”

She had already decided what she wanted to do in the future. She wanted to be as strong as her father; rather than depending on others, it was better to strengthen oneself.

Only by becoming strong could she have more say and command respect.

She didn’t think women were so far behind men. The women she had encountered all had their own formidable aspects.

They all had their own voices.

What her mother had demonstrated this time made it even clearer to her that you don’t have to show strength all the time, but when needed, you must possess the power to resist, or else you’d only be oppressed.

She didn’t want to be the one suppressed.

She didn’t want to depend on a man for a lifetime either; that wasn’t the life she desired.

Shen Yan didn’t realize how her behavior at the Qi residence had influenced her daughter’s thoughts.

If she knew, she would support her daughter’s ideas.

In Shen Yan’s view, women were no shorter than men.

As long as one strived forward, women could surpass men.

“They’re all grown up; you don’t need to tell them all this every day,” Shen Yan said, just having hung up the phone when she was embraced from behind, and the arm extending from behind her took the phone, while a kiss landed softly in her hair.

“Mr. Qi, you’re middle-aged now; how have you become even clingier than before?” Shen Yan teased.

Qi Si caressed her cheek, his voice steady and unmoving, “So what if I am? Who said that as you get older, you couldn’t be affectionate with your spouse?”

Shen Yan laughed and pushed at the head resting on her shoulder, “I’ve just been out for a run; I’m all sweaty and haven’t bathed yet.”

The grip around her waist tightened and they were even closer, “Let’s bathe together.”

Shen Yan helplessly removed his hands, “I’m really tired today; can you let me rest?”

Qi Si kissed her ear several times, resigned, before finally letting go, “You’ve worked hard, Yanyan.”

“It’s worth all the effort to relieve your worries.”

Shen Yan raised her hand to pinch his still handsome face and turned to enter the bathroom.

*

Half a month later in a certain country.

Sand and dust swirled wildly in the strong wind, blurring Shen Yan’s vision.

The sound of cars approached from a distance through the sandstorm. Shen Yan slightly squinted her eyes and, once they adjusted, several jeeps came to a steady stop in front of her.

General Okazi, who had visibly aged, still smiled with a booming laughter!

“Miss Shen, we meet again.”

“It’s rare that General Okazi still remembers me,” she thought. In the blink of an eye, over a decade had passed, time really flew.

Shen Yan couldn’t help but reflect internally.

Okazi, laughing with sentiment, said, “In the blink of an eye, over a decade has passed. It’s been that long since we’ve last seen each other, Miss Shen.”

“After more than a decade, General Okazi still carries such an imposing aura.”

Okazi shook his head, “I’m old, I’m old. There’s no denying it, but Miss Shen, you still look the same as you did over a decade ago. Are you here alone this time? Mr. Qi isn’t accompanying you?”

Shen Yan pointed in a not-too-distant direction and smiled, “He should arrive soon.”

“I was wondering, Mr. Qi loves Miss Shen so much, how could he possibly let Miss Shen walk through this chaotic region alone. Miss Shen, we specifically came to ensure your safety. There have been too many incidents these past few years, danger could strike at any moment,” Okazi said with a sense of loyalty.

“I really appreciate it,” Shen Yan smiled, “but right now, there’s no need to trouble General Okazi. I have some private matters to deal with here. Since General Okazi was passing by, I wouldn’t want to disturb you with official duties.”

Okazi looked at Shen Yan for a long moment before saying, “That’s fine then. But if you need anything, just reach out to us; we’ll be in X City.”

Shen Yan nodded.

Then they saw a vehicle approaching from a distance. After bidding Shen Yan farewell, they drove away.

Qi Si alighted from the car, his brows slightly furrowed as he watched the departing convoy with a possessive grip around Shen Yan’s waist.

“Who did he bring with him?”

He remembered Okazi having a fair share of young and handsome men around him; they had better not be thinking of stealing her away from him.

Shen Yan rolled her eyes at him and pushed his hand away, stepping to the forefront, “He just received a message to come and protect us, where is your mind wandering off to?”

Besides, how many years had it been since she’d set foot in this place?

And at her age now, could she still entice a young man?

Sometimes, Shen Yan really couldn’t understand what he filled his head with, imagining all sorts of nonsensical things.

Qi Si narrowed his eyes coldly towards the disappearing convoy, “Is your safety still something he needs to be concerned about?”

Shen Yan ignored him, her gaze fixed in one direction.

Far off in the distance lay the laboratory that once held those two people.

Now…

“How have they been dealt with?” Qi Si walked up beside her, taking her hand.

“I don’t really remember the pain from the past anymore,” because she had Qi Si by her side, the children, hope…

Over a decade of transition, she had long ceased to relive the past anguish, and suddenly recalling those times felt like it had happened several lifetimes ago.

“Yanyan, this is what I wanted to see the most. I wanted to erase those pains for you, and I have succeeded.”

Qi Si wrapped his arm around her waist, tenderly drawing her into an intimate embrace.

Shen Yan’s smile was brought forth by his small gestures, “Mr. Qi has indeed done so. By your side, I’m very happy!”

Qi Si changed from holding her waist to grasping her hand, slowly walking towards the old laboratory.

Silently, Shen Yan let him hold onto her tightly.

Having received the news of those two people’s departure, she had come here.

And confirmed it.

After more than a decade of torment, they ultimately left in the same manner she had.

Everything from the past was coming to a close this day.

After those two were gone, aside from themselves, no one else would remember the filth of the past.

Several hundred meters away from the laboratory, Shen Yan came to a halt.

People brought by Qi Si entered and left within minutes.

Under the scorching heat, the dilapidated laboratory exploded with a “boom,” reducing all research to dust.

A buzzing filled Shen Yan’s ears; her eyes unblinkingly fixed on the billowing dust.

Her ears were covered by a pair of warm hands, and she was pulled tightly into an embrace for protection.

Shen Yan’s gaze remained locked on that spot until all the dust had settled, revealing a chaotic, flattened pit.

All had returned to calm, leaving only the wind sweeping across the sand.

Shen Yan looked up at the person who had pulled her into his arms and revealed a smile, “Qi Si, let’s go home.”

“Okay!”

Qi Si raised his hand to wipe off the sand and dust that had settled on her face, then once again took her hand, slowly retracing their steps back down the road they had come.

They were certain that for the second half of their lives, they would continue to walk forward, side by side!
