After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 461 - 456: Reap What You Sow

Her gaze swept across, and Shen Yan clearly saw who the two people sitting at the table beside them were.

It was Chi Boyuan and Ouyang Lin.

None of the four had expected to run into each other in such a place, let alone at adjacent tables.

*

Two minutes later.

Shen Yan and Qin Dingyue sat on this side of the table, opposite Ouyang Lin and Chi Boyuan.

Ouyang Lin’s eyes were fixed on Shen Yan, not giving even a split glance to Qin Dingyue.

Qin Dingyue couldn’t help but steal glances at the man she had silently adored for years. Seeing Ouyang Lin watching Shen Yan, she felt a sourness before quickly introducing, "Senior, this is my good friend Shen Yan! Shen Yan, this is the senior I mentioned, Ouyang Lin!"

Shen Yan nodded at the other party as if meeting for the first time.

"Hello."

Ouyang Lin also nodded in acknowledgment, "Hello."

Shen Yan turned to Chi Boyuan, "Captain Chi, we meet again."

"When did you arrive in Beijing?" Chi Boyuan shifted his gaze from Shen Yan and asked nonchalantly.

Shen Yan replied, "I arrived in Beijing yesterday and ran into Young Master Zhai at Ye Mansion. He didn’t look to be in good spirits."

Chi Boyuan’s gaze returned to Shen Yan, somewhat probing, "Did you have a conflict with him?"

"Young Master Du was there."

Chi Boyuan nodded, "Zhai Xilan is after all Hong Shen’s younger sister; his current condition is somewhat off. I hope you can understand."

"With both Captain Chi and Young Master Du taking his side, I’d naturally want to show some courtesy. For now, I’ve done nothing to harm the Zhai family," said Shen Yan with a faint smile, her eyes chillingly clear.

Chi Boyuan looked at her for a long moment and said, "It’s my mistake; I shouldn’t have asked for your understanding."

"Captain Chi is just showing concern for a good friend, which I can understand," Shen Yan responded with an accommodating air, causing Chi Boyuan to glance at her sideways.

Qin Dingyue listened, puzzled, but was sure of one thing: Shen Yan knew this righteous, handsome man.

And between them, there seemed to be some unresolved issue!

Seeing this, Qin Dingyue didn’t feel it appropriate to interject or meddle in their private affairs.

Chi Boyuan could hear an undercurrent in Shen Yan’s tone, his handsome brows slightly furrowing.

"Captain Chi, don’t worry. As long as the Zhai family stops troubling us, we won’t seek trouble with them either. Consider it a favor granted to you, Captain," said Shen Yan meaningfully, "It’s repayment for that favor you did me in the Tibetan Region."

Chi Boyuan knew she was referring to that favor in the Tibetan Region.

Before witnessing Shen Yan’s abilities, Chi Boyuan had believed her. After seeing them, he had no room for doubt; she would have destroyed that thing!

But why?

What was Shen Yan’s relationship with that overseas base?

Shen Yan, as a person, gave an illusion of an enigma with numerous mysteries.

"Shen Yan, Zhai Hongshen’s injury came from your hands, and Qi Si isn’t having an easy time either," Chi Boyuan reminded her, "Their acquaintance dates back even earlier than ours; a friendship from childhood isn’t easily broken."

Shen Yan’s smile faded, "So, I’m supposed to tolerate the Zhai family’s bullying? If I had submitted from the start, my trip to Jin City would have ended with my complete disappearance from everyone’s sight. I had already foreseen Zhai Xilan’s outcome the moment she became involved with those people."

So she did not act.

Chi Boyuan watched her intently for a while before finally shifting the topic, "We came here to dine today; let’s leave these matters for later."

"Right, right, I’m quite hungry. Yanyan, no holding back today! It’s on me, don’t be shy!" Qin Dingyue hurriedly took over the conversation.

Shen Yan nodded with a smile, "Your agent reminded me not to let you eat too much. You have a shoot tomorrow, better stay away from greasy food."

Qin Ding Yue looked at Shen Yan with pitiful eyes, "Just this once, Yanyan, it’s not easy for me to get out. Let me eat my fill and completely annihilate the gluttonous worms in my belly!"

Shen Yan remained coldly resolute, "No."

"But they aren’t here, Yan Yan, please be kind. Tomorrow’s schedule isn’t until the afternoon, and my face isn’t prone to swelling. Look, it’s so plump you could pinch water out of it!" Qin Ding Yue stretched out half of her face and tugged at her cheek fiercely.

Shen Yan still pushed her away relentlessly, "No means no. If you want to eat, you can call your manager to discuss; if you reach an agreement, eat as much as you want."

Qin Ding Yue: "..."

After that call, she would only be able to drink porridge!

"Cough."

Ouyang Lin found this scene quite incredible.

The friendship between girls was sometimes really strange!

Qin Ding Yue realized that the person in front of her was the object of her secret affection, quickly quieted down, and straightened up her posture!

"Sorry to have embarrassed you, Senior."

"It’s alright."

Ouyang Lin truly didn’t feel the slightest bit of attraction towards Qin Ding Yue, even though she was very beautiful, she couldn’t stir his heart.

So he never gave Qin Ding Yue any chances.

He just hadn’t expected to bump into her here tonight.

Shen Yan glanced at the two of them, confirmed that Ouyang Lin really had no feelings whatsoever for Qin Ding Yue, and her gaze turned as calm as ever.

Shen Yan was somewhat grateful that she and Qi Si reciprocated each other’s feelings.

Under the table, she gently patted Qin Ding Yue’s hand.

Qin Ding Yue forced a smile uglier than a cry.

*

Shen Yan sent a message to Qi Si to make sure it would be a few more hours before he came home. Qin Ding Yue got a call from her manager, ate most of the barbecue, and then left.

Shen Yan saw Qin Ding Yue out, and as gentlemen, Chi Boyuan and Ouyang Lin also followed out to see her off.

"I’ll walk you there; it’s not convenient to take a cab."

"No, no need, Yanyan, and don’t you eat too much either, it’s heaty. I’m going to go ahead, really, you don’t need to see me off, goodbye," Qin Ding Yue adjusted her tightly secured mask, waved her hand, and without looking back, dived into the taxi that had pulled up.

Shen Yan saw the redness in the corners of her eyes but did not insist on stopping her.

Ouyang Lin stood there as if he hadn’t seen anything.

Shen Yan had come with Qin Ding Yue, so naturally, she would leave now that Qin Ding Yue was gone.

"Shen Yan."

Chi Boyuan called Shen Yan back.

Shen Yan turned around to look at him, "If Captain Chi still wants to talk about the Zhai Family’s matter, then forget it. I’ve been as merciful as I should be, you surely can’t expect me to go comfort the Zhai Family and actually apologize to them. That would be too bullying. Even a rabbit will bite when it’s pushed, let alone that I’m not a kind-hearted rabbit. Tell Zhai Hongshen to stop acting like everyone owes him. It’s the Zhai Family that owes me, not the other way around."

Shen Yan dropped these words coldly and drove away.

Chi Boyuan pressed his forehead, "I wasn’t intending to say that."

"Even though I don’t know what the death of Miss Zhai has to do with Shen Yan, if Shen Yan had wanted to harm Miss Zhai, it would have been easy; there was no need for such actions. The investigation results are clear, Miss Zhai brought it upon herself."

Chi Boyuan cracked a smile, "Got a smoke?"

"I don’t like the smell of smoke."

Chi Boyuan gave another helpless smile, "Shall we go back and continue eating?"
