Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn Chapter 139: She can't do it, she's incompetent

Chapter 139: She can’t do it, she’s incompetent.

Shi Lan changed her clothes and, under Sun Ling’s cover, went to the top floor.

Checking the ti, it was nine o’clock at night. The romantic rooftop restaurant had been cleared out, with only the cultured scoundrel, Director Yan present.

Director Yan, wearing his glasses and sitting on the sofa waiting, had a sharp look in his eyes and a hint of coldness at the thin corners of his lips. This was Yan Shixiu as he appeared to outsiders. From this, Shi Lan could tell that the scumbag must have rushed over and possibly had been dealing with business matters just an hour earlier.

Shi Lan stood at the top of the stairs, about to step forward, when Yan Shixiu’s phone rang.

Shi Lan paused, not moving forward, and then she heard Yan Shixiu answer the phone, “The rger plan has just been launched, nad Shuangshi. I’ve already distributed the docunts; we’ll discuss the specifics at the regular eting.”

Hearing the words “Shuangshi,” Shi Lan had a pretty good idea in her mind.

...

Her company and Yan Shixiu were not on the sa track. The industries involved were too broad, and without optimization, managent would be doubly difficult. Thus, forming a rged group was the first solution that operators would consider.

However, with Shuangshi rising suddenly, it posed a major threat to the Shi Family, and she couldn’t imagine what the Shi family would do to that person.

At this thought, Shi Lan’s face grew much more somber, and at that mont, Yan Shixiu also put down his phone and looked towards her.

Then, Yan Shixiu stood up from the sofa, walked over to Shi Lan, took her hand, and asked, “Tired?”

Shi Lan took a seat with him on the sofa and then answered, “I just heard your phone call. Sun Ling ntioned that the Shi family often troubles you. Is it still the sa now?”

Yan Shixiu, holding her, said with a smile, “Worried about ? I’ve hired a team of lawyers specifically to deal with the Shi family.”

“That’s aboveboard, but what about behind the scenes?”

The mont Shi Lan said this, both of them froze for a second.

Shi Lan quickly diverted her gaze, and Yan Shixiu also pretended not to understand, bringing her gaze back to him, “Don’t read too many family saga novels, there’s not so much going on behind the scenes.”

Shi Lan did not engage in the conversation, but deep down, a feeling she hadn’t had in many years arose—fear.

To be honest, even during the car accident in Thailand, in the blink of an eye, she hadn’t felt fear. But now, knowing that the Shi family’s attention had turned to Yan Shixiu, she was…afraid.

Death was all too easy for the Shi family. There were a thousand ways to make a person disappear, to torture them to death.

That feeling was strange; whether she lived or died didn’t matter much to her—as life was but a soul and death but a grave. And yet, the thought of Yan Shixiu disappearing from this world was sothing she just couldn’t handle or accept.

“Not feeling well? Your complexion is so poor.”

“Hire a few more bodyguards, have trustworthy people look after the food, constantly check the house for caras, and always be aware of any bugging devices in the car.” These were all things the Shi family’s uncles had done to her, which Shi Lan had discovered and then shoved directly into the mouth of that particular uncle.

“How badly is the outside world talking about the Shi family?” Yan Shixiu tidied Shi Lan’s hair by her ears and pinched the soft flesh at her waist.

Shi Lan relaxed a bit and began to bluff, “How should I know? Sun Ling keeps gossiping to about those family circle matters from ti to ti.”

After listening, Yan Shixiu laughed softly, holding Shi Lan and coaxing, “Seeing how nervous you are makes very happy.”

“I’m not nervous…” The female mogul suddenly beca very agitated.

“Okay, you’re not nervous.” Yan Shixiu pressed her back down.

The young mistress really was consistent in not speaking her heart, as she had been for ten years.
