Half an hour later, Yan Shixiu saw Shi Lan at the dilapidated factory.
The young missus was wrapped up tightly, walking with her usual disregard for kinship.
At this time, Xun Yinghua, who was waiting in the car, also saw the WeChat message sent to him by Shi Lan. The little assistant shivered because he truly didn’t know whether he should tell Shi Lan about this matter or not. But after weighing their respective influences and considering his boss’s strict wife, Xun Yinghua finally decided to come clean with the madam; after all, a wise man adapts to circumstances.
"President Yan, what time is it now? You’re leaving work early..."
Before Shi Lan could finish, Yan Shixiu pulled her into his embrace, "Thank goodness."
Shi Lan stood still, letting Yan Shixiu hold her, then turned to look at Xun Yinghua who had just gotten out of the car.
Xun Yinghua pointed to the phone in his hand, the answers were all on WeChat.
"Yan Shixiu, have you held me enough?" Shi Lan asked helplessly because she just touched things in the factory and hadn’t washed her hands yet, so she didn’t hug Yan Shixiu back.
Yan Shixiu let her go.
Shi Lan glared at him and then walked over to Huo Zhao, "Come on, pour some water for me to wash my hands."
Huo Zhao took out water from the car.
"I came here just to take a look at this shabby factory, but now you are acting like I’m about to elope with someone." After washing her hands and drying them with a paper towel, Shi Lan casually grabbed the front of Yan Shixiu’s clothes, pulled him down, and kissed him, "Is that enough for you? President Yan."
Yan Shixiu, seeing the light swirling in her eyes, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "That’s why I said, don’t stray too far from me."
On the way back, Shi Lan discussed with Yan Shixiu if there was any potential for the piece of land, holding hands tightly with her husband all along.
Shi Lan didn’t call out his insecure behavior until she had taken him back to the Shuangshi and sat down in his office, "Are you satisfied now?"
Yan Shixiu didn’t respond and forcibly moved his gaze back to the computer screen. Only then did Shi Lan take out her phone and see the WeChat reply from Xun Yinghua.
"This afternoon, President Yan and Madam Shi had a meeting. I’m not sure exactly what they talked about, but it seemed like they had an argument. When President Yan left, he looked quite upset. Madam, the Shi Family has never shown President Yan a friendly face, always humiliated him in the past and often came to mock and belittle him. But President Yan really hasn’t done anything wrong."
This was something Shi Lan was all too aware of.
With that WeChat message from Xun Yinghua, Shi Lan had a pretty good idea of what had happened.
Last night, President Yan was seen shining his wedding ring, which must have reached the ears of the Shi Family.
Originally, Yan Shixiu took nearly half of Shi Lan’s inheritance, and now he has remarried a young and beautiful wife. Madam Shi of course felt unpleasant, not just unpleasant, perhaps full of hatred.
Yan Shixiu didn’t say anything because he had promised Shi Lan back then that he would not let her be caught up in the whirlpool of the Shi Family again.
Shi Lan had also thought about it before, now she already has a new identity and there’s no need to wade into the muddy water of the Shi Family.
But if the Shi Family keeps harassing Yan Shixiu, clinging to her husband, can she really just stand by and watch?
Moreover, from the moment she returned to Yan Shixiu’s side, some things were destined to be unavoidable.
In that case, why bother hiding?
"President Yan, you really don’t plan to explain where you went and whom you met this afternoon behind my back?" Shi Lan queried Yan Shixiu while nestled on the sofa, "President Yan, your acting is terrible, you know that, right?"
Yan Shixiu stopped working on the documents and looked at her, "Is it not okay to be a bit foolish?"
"Why should Missy here dumb herself down to accommodate you mortals, when she’s born clever?"
"It was just an inconsequential person..."
"If you can’t handle her, I’ll have to step in," Shi Lan propped her chin and said, looking at Yan Shixiu.
