Si Junlan clung to Shi Yihui’s hand, urging him to endure with all his might, as their good days were just around the corner.
Shi Yihui understood his wife’s aning and thus swallowed all his discontent and humiliation.
"Today, soone from the Yan Family will also be there, and my second brother won’t have such an easy ti. Just wait and see."
Who would have thought that Yan Shixiu, who nobody had looked up to before, would, in a few years, beco the center of wealth in Yancheng, this man of gentle manners?
"None of them are easy to handle, tonight we’ll watch them bite each other like dogs!"
Regrettably, Shi Yihui’s wish was likely to be thwarted.
...
Yan Shixiu didn’t take the Shi Family’s banquet too seriously, business as usual.
His only fear was that Shi Lan revisiting the old place might feel uncomfortable. However, the drama of today was indeed not to be missed, so he ended the eting and his work early to pick up Shi Lan from the Shi Family’s side residence and head together to the banquet.
At this mont, Shi Lan was in the room of Shi Yihui’s mother, helping her match the outfit needed for tonight’s battle, not for anything else but to ensure Shi Yihui’s mother shone at the banquet.
"Tonight Shi Hongyu will surely be smug, and the Shi Family’s old shareholders will be the first to attack Shi Hongyu. And when you make your entrance, you need to reveal two things. The first is Shi Guangxuan’s identity, and the second, that Ding Hong was frad and put into a ntal hospital."
"As for Shi Lan’s death..." Shi Yihui’s mother wanted to clear Shi Lan’s na, yet Shi Lan shook her head and said,
"There’s no need to bring up things without evidence. If you bla them for everything, others will beco suspicious. So, take it slow. The car accident involving Shi Lan is a matter for the police to investigate, not your task tonight."
Despite her unwillingness, Shi Yihui’s mother took a deep breath and nodded, "I know what to do."
"Do well tonight, and you will get what you want. When you arrive at the venue, you needn’t be afraid. Although you haven’t learned much in a short ti, it’s enough to deal with the Shi Family mbers. Besides, Yan Shixiu, the butler, and the old shareholders of the Shi Family will all help you, so just do your best."
With neither husband nor daughter around, she had to live beautifully for herself.
Shi Yihui’s mother seed to have co to terms with this.
"Don’t worry, I won’t be timid anymore."
Shi Lan nodded and turned to leave Shi Yihui’s mother’s room, but as she reached the door, as if rembering sothing, she turned back and said, "I once told you that when you truly take control of the Shi Family, I would resolve the doubt in your heart."
"It doesn’t matter anymore," Shi Yihui’s mother suddenly responded, "Shi Lan is gone; she no longer belongs to this world. I too must fulfill my mission."
"I’ve lived a cowardly life, an indifferent life, and have committed unforgivable mistakes against my daughter. There’s no point in delving into these things now. Maybe it’s too late for to be saying this, but if it took this long to realize, there’s nothing I can do about it. So things... just can’t be undone..."
After hearing this, Shi Lan said nothing and simply left.
Because, just as Shi Yihui’s mother said, none of it mattered anymore.
After all, Shi Lan was no longer alive.
After leaving the side residence, Shi Lan got into Yan Shixiu’s car. Once settled, Shi Lan looked at him with a determined gaze and said, "We’re nearing the end."
During this Shi Family banquet, those three mbers of the Shi Family would all be implicated, consistent with Shi Lan’s usual approach—to take them all down in one swoop.
"Boss Yan, enjoy tonight’s big show of the year to your heart’s content."
