"So you had this in mind when you asked to do these things," Shi’s mother suddenly realized.
The butler had previously served Old Master Shi, and Shi Lan knew his loyalty. She wanted to test his attitude because the old butler had always shown nothing but respect to Yan Shixiu. Therefore, she wanted to know if the old butler served the Shi Family or was a person from the Shi Family.
"Many things, if coordinated internally and externally, can achieve twice the result with half the effort," Shi Lan said. "Today, I let you familiarize yourself with the environnt and the bodyguard. Starting tomorrow, you will undergo training according to the standards of the Shi Family heir. You can skip the previous lessons of Shi Lan in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, horsemanship, and archery, but you must seriously learn how to beco an excellent manager."
"Is this why Yan Shixiu married you?"
"Yan Shixiu married because he loves ," Shi Lan finally responded directly, "You should also stop causing him trouble. If it weren’t for him taking forty percent of Shi Lan’s inheritance, all of Shi Lan’s self-established companies would have fallen into the hands of the Shi Family, and it wouldn’t be possible to ensure your future well-being. You should know, even if you fail to seize power in the Shi Family, Shuangshi can still allow you to live a worry-free life and enjoy your old age."
After listening, Shi’s mother scoffed and said, "I’ve always thought of him as a ruthless and ambitious beast, but I never expected..."
Never expected that he remarried, yet still married a woman who is ninety percent similar to Shi Lan.
Shi’s mother didn’t know what to believe, but suddenly, she no longer doubted Yan Shixiu’s feelings for Shi Lan.
After settling Shi’s mother in the other courtyard, Shi Lan returned to Shuangshi.
Yan Shixiu, busy with work, had already had Xun Yinghua prepare the al, awaiting her return to dine together.
Seeing the old faces and scenes, Shi Lan really felt uneasy.
But as soon as she returned to this office and saw the breathtaking beauty seated in the office chair, her mood suddenly lifted.
Yan Shixiu, noticing the lack of light in the young lady’s eyes, let go of his computer, stood up, walked over to her, and, embracing her, asked, "Did the scenes stir your emotions?"
Shi Lan sighed and, reaching out, held Yan Shixiu, saying, "I just felt the weight of ti."
"I was against your returning to the whirlpool of the Shi Family from the start."
"There’s nothing to run from, it must be faced sooner or later. If we don’t settle things with the Shi Family now, by the ti it falls apart, it will all be ssy for us as a couple to handle later. That would truly be a troubleso affair," Shi Lan said calmly. "Right now, at least there are still so viable people to support. By the way, about next month’s thank-you banquet by the Shi Family, have they also invited you?"
"I won’t go, and many from the business world won’t attend, so, with that in mind, the Shi Family sent out invitations," Yan Shixiu replied.
"Then there will be so excitent, Director Yan, lend a hand."
"Alright, let’s eat, you must be hungry," Yan Shixiu pulled her to the table. "That day, you will go with ?"
"Yes."
"And in what capacity?" Yan Shixiu teased her.
"As a secretary," Shi Lan replied. "It’s not yet ti for chaos, Director Yan, but when the ti cos, I will let you know."
"I was just teasing," Yan Shixiu quickly explained. "I’m no longer fixated on this matter. Let things happen as they will. Besides, ’Smoke Beauty’ will start its promotions soon, do you want to attend the event?"
"I’m just a farr, let it pass, but it has been quite a while since I’ve seen Chen Beini, I’ll give her so face," Shi Lan said while eating. "Director Yan, your purpose in bringing Huo Zhao is to use him as a chance to stay by my side and accompany to the events, right? Do you want to try it out? Feel the experience?"
