After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 443 - 438: Pure Friendship

Although Qi Si had reined in the aura emanating from his body, the chilly presence at the scene was still very intense.

Several people obviously felt uncomfortable.

When they had seen this man before, it hadn’t been so suffocating and breathless.

Perhaps it was an issue with the space.

Zhang Yu and the others exchanged covert glances, all trying to relax as much as possible to avoid letting on.

Although they were all singers, they also passed muster in acting.

Normally, they took on some film and TV dramas, and sometimes a singer’s acting talent could surpass that of formal actors.

"Hello, I’m Zhang Yu..." In the end, it was Zhang Yu who broke the silence first.

"Qi Si, Yanyan’s lover."

Su Huai and the others also introduced themselves, while secretly wondering if Shen Yan’s boyfriend was too cold? freewebnøvel.com

Was it always like this when Shen Yan interacted with him? Weren’t they afraid of being frozen into ice lollies?

Qi Si spoke in a clear and cold manner, as if devoid of warmth.

Except towards Shen Yan, he was like this with everyone, so compared to other strangers, Zhang Yu and his companions received rather special treatment.

With others, he wouldn’t share a dining table with you, and his voice would be even colder.

Perhaps sensing their restraint, Qi Si said, "Make yourselves at home."

Zhang Yu quickly nodded, "We’re very easy-going, no need for any special treatment."

"Yanyan has been under your care, and I should have invited you over for a meal sooner. I’ve been neglectful due to my busy work before."

Shen Yan was caught off guard by this.

At the beginning, it was she who didn’t want to go public...

"We understand!" Zhang Yu quickly responded, "In the circle, we didn’t really care for Shen Yan much, rather, it’s Shen Yan who frequently looked after us! This meal is also at my brazen request, please don’t mind it. We just wanted to see Shen Yan’s partner, to avoid any awkwardness if we run into each other in the future without recognition."

Although he didn’t state the true reason openly, Qi Si guessed it.

They wanted to set a watch over Shen Yan on her behalf, to show Qi Si that Shen Yan’s friends were protective of her, and that anyone wishing to bully her would need to think twice, even if such a demonstration might appear presumptuous. But their friendship for Shen Yan was genuine.

Shen Yan gazed at her friends with tender eyes and a gentle smile.

Qi Si’s gaze towards these people was also not so cold.

These people had come specifically to "back up" Shen Yan.

It showed that they genuinely considered Shen Yan a true friend, and Qi Si was naturally happy to be "troubled" by them.

"I should have invited you over for a meal sooner, my apologies."

Shen Yan couldn’t help but glance sideways at Qi Si.

Getting Qi Si to lower his stance like this was indeed rare.

The others across from them were also startled at first, then relaxed when they realized that this man had lowered his demeanor that far for Shen Yan’s sake.

Shen Yanqing cleared his throat, "Let’s not be so formal here, today we are here to dine."

Hearing this, everyone exchanged smiles.

The meal was enjoyed by host and guests alike!

Qi Si showed a different side from his appearance, and was able to engage in conversation afterwards.

From their exchanges and dialogues, they learned what Qi Si did for a living, and their gaze towards him became even more shocked.

The Qi Family of Beijing!

They had been to Beijing, and had come into contact with those second-generation Beijingites, occasionally hearing rumors about the Beijing circle.

Among them were stories about the formidable Qi Family.

They never imagined that the low-profile yet renowned ruler of Qi Group was sitting right in front of them, and was Shen Yan’s husband!

For a moment, they all felt the world was a bit fantastical!

But what was even more astonishing was still to come; Shen Yan, who was rumoured within the circle to hail from a rural background, turned out to be the lady of the prestigious Shen Family of Beijing!

The more they got to know, the more horrified the looks in their eyes became when they saw the two of them...

The big shot was right beside them, and they hadn’t known anything at all!

Seeing their twitching mouths and dumbstruck reactions, Shen Yan felt somewhat embarrassed.

Zhang Yu immediately felt that this meal was so worth it!

To have found out such a big truth!

No wonder Shen Yan didn’t have to struggle for resources like other artists, even without her husband’s support, just by virtue of being the Shen Family’s lady, she could walk sideways in the entertainment industry!

Moreover, Shen Yan not only had beauty but also talent!

You could only say that she truly warranted being the daughter of a prestigious family!

Shen Ning was connecting the relationship between herself and the Shen Family while collecting criminal evidence on Shen Yan.

As long as Shen Yan had done it, there would surely be some traces, even if Shen Yan was very capable, there would always be a time when she made a mistake.

She couldn’t blame herself for this, if Shen Yan hadn’t done it no traces would have been left, it was Shen Yan who forced her to do this.

Whether it was Bai Zhong’s or Shen Feng’s, Shen Ning was determined to investigate thoroughly.

She didn’t believe she couldn’t hold Shen Yan’s handle in her hands!

Shen Ning’s covert actions were not disclosed to anyone.

She knew that her mother would stop her, and so would Bai Zhong.

So, she could only investigate secretly!

She contacted several college classmates and asked them for help.

Among her connections were those who worked in detective agencies and some who were skilled in hacking... As long as she could utilize these contacts, she was ready to spend large sums of money to do so.

After making sure with Jian Yu over the phone that Bai Zhong was not in any serious trouble, she canceled her trip to Shen City.

Jian Yu had more important things to do; Bai Zhong had the Bai Family and Shen Ning with him in Shen City. As long as she wasn’t involved, nothing would happen.

She understood these people in the country; they wouldn’t do things that break the law.

In her eyes, they were stubborn.

But there were exceptions, like Qi Si.

After several encounters, Jian Yu felt she understood Qi Si quite well.

He was different from the others who abided by moral boundaries; he would do anything to achieve his goals.

Wasn’t the Zhai Family woman nearly killed by him?

Then there was the matter with Shen Feng...

Thinking about it, Jian Yu often became filled with rage.

While working behind the scenes, Jian Yu was unaware that her youngest daughter had secretly started to investigate the matters concerning Shen Feng and Bai Zhong.

The situation with Bai Zhong was one thing, but the matter of Shen Feng involved Jian Yu herself.

Shen Ning’s investigation was essentially uncovering the dark true face of Jian Yu.

If Shen Yan found out, she would certainly applaud and even provide Shen Ning with more convenient clues.

In the VIP ward of the hospital, Shen Ning retrieved some of Bai Zhong’s test results and returned to hear the Bai Family’s conversation in the ward, pausing briefly.

"What did Shen Ning say? She doesn’t plan to marry you in advance? You’re not young anymore, and although we support her work, she can’t keep dragging this on."

"Several of your peers already have kids; even after having children, they still work on their careers, so it doesn’t really affect anything. You should find an opportunity to talk to Shen Ning about it. Isn’t her future mother-in-law in Beijing? We should also find an opportunity to invite her back to Shen City so that everyone can sit down together and properly discuss your marriage."

For some reason, after this accident, the Bai Family had grown anxious for the two young people to get married and have children.

"Anning still has her own work, and as you know, she can’t leave it easily. She finally made her way into the Beijing circle; if you ask her to give up her job now, isn’t that like breaking her wings?" In this regard, Bai Zhong was absolutely respectful of Shen Ning’s wishes.

"You..."

The Bai Family had more to say when they saw Shen Ning appearing at the doorway, instinctively stopping their conversation, and smiles quickly formed on their faces.
