Chapter 275: 275 He made my heart ache. Chapter 275: 275 He made my heart ache. “You go ahead, I’ll make my own way back,” Shi Lan said.
Seeing the guests’ puzzled looks, Xun Yinghua felt it was improper to linger, so he said, “Then I’ll get back to business, do as you please.”
“Don’t let the Yan family cause him any trouble,” Shi Lan instructed her assistant before leaving.
After the assistant left, everyone at the table stared at the unremarkable-looking little girl. Her casual wear and facemask made her seem so ordinary, but why did she receive special attention from Yan Shixiu’s assistant?
Shi Lan didn’t linger at the event. Once the assistant had gone, she too left with the Shuangshi brochures.
The era belonging to Shi Lan had ended, and the era belonging to Yan Shixiu was just beginning.
Shi Lan, with phone in hand, exited the Shuangshi Building and saw the disgraced members of the Yan family at the entrance.
Yan Ziqing was helping her father into the car, while her mother followed behind the two of them.
As Shi Lan passed by them, she could still hear the father’s cursing.
Isn’t every wealthy family fraught with its own troubles?
Shi Lan was ruthless, and so were most of the Shi family, so she never doubted her true identity. But Yan Shixiu was different, sometimes she wondered if Mr. Yan really was from the Yan family.
After getting into the car, Shi Lan sent a WeChat message to Yan Shixiu.
Shi Lan: “Don’t drink too much. I saw a lot of executives bring their daughters or granddaughters today.”
Yan Shixiu, in the middle of networking with the board members, read the message and his lips curled into a smile, “No matter who they bring, it’s pointless. Were you bored just now?”
Shi Lan: “Heard a morning’s worth of gossip, how could I be bored.”
Mr. Yan: “Did it sound harsh to your ears?”
Shi Lan: “I have a night shoot tonight, it goes until ten. You better come over afterwards, clean and with that ‘thing.’ Don’t make me ask you over and over.”
After reading her message, Yan Shixiu shook his head helplessly. The young lady was upset, and she wasn’t going to be easy to appease.
In fact, Shi Lan was feeling a painful tightness in her chest.
Yan Shixiu always thought she would back out of their relationship because of the Yan family, but did she not also feel pained to see Uncle Yan have to publicly declare his stance against his own family?
When those contemptuous eyes fell upon the Yan family, Yan Shixiu couldn’t help but be the subject of ridicule and mockery as well.
Yet, he still proceeded accordingly.
Just like last time at Huahai when he sent Yan Ziqing away, he wouldn’t let any part of the Yan family touch her.
With an array of complex emotions, Shi Lan returned to the film set.
Sun Ling had watched the live broadcast all morning, and upon seeing Shi Lan return, he excitedly said, “How could Mr. Yan be so handsome? Boss, no one in this world suits you better than him, believe me. You know what? Even though I don’t understand business at all, I was actually engrossed listening to Mr. Yan’s forty-minute speech, and it was super impressive! How did you find it sitting in the audience?”
“Furious,” was Shi Lan’s four-word reply.
“Ah? Mr. Yan made you angry?”
He made my heart ache…
Shi Lan thought to herself.
She didn’t understand why both she and Yan Shixiu had to suffer because of family.
What’s so important about family?
Having each other was enough for them.
With that thought, Shi Lan felt an urgent need to resolve the issue of breaking her contract with Tianwang.
How many people were eyeing Uncle Yan, wanting to plot against him from behind?
And yet, there she was, wasting her time on two beasts.
She had agreed that in this life she would be a carefree and joyful actress, but it was only today that she truly understood that her feelings for Yan Shixiu were more than just not being able to stay away.
She was actually proactively wanting to take on the responsibilities she had tried everything to shake off in the past.
She couldn’t bear to leave Yan Shixiu to face the whirlpool alone.
She wanted to be the support behind Uncle Yan.
