Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Is it not just a car rollover?

Sun Ling flipped through her phone and suddenly saw a message from Yan Shixiu wishing her good night. He looked at her with a meaningful expression, “Mr. Yan said goodnight to you, huh…”

“Give it here.” Shi Lan took back her phone and then sent Yan Shixiu a message.

Shi Lan: “Mr. Yan, I just want to focus on acting right now.”

Sun Ling caught a glimpse and clicked his tongue twice, “You’re so heartless and cold, even daring to reject the president of Huahai.”

“You don’t understand.”

“I might not understand, but I’ve heard Mr. Yan is pretty miserable. He was a top student in scientific research before, and then a wealthy woman forced him into marriage. He could have been free, but I heard the Shi Family often causes trouble for him. But you’ve refused, and at this stage, it’s best to stay away from such matters.”

Shi Lan: “…”

Shi Lan seriously suspected that Sun Ling was a spy sent by Yan’s camp, pinpointing her vulnerabilities so accurately.

Shi Lan thought about it and withdrew the message.

Mr. Yan: “I saw it.”

Shi Lan: “…”

For the first time in her life, Miss Shi experienced the emotion of guilt, and her embarrassment skyrocketed.

Afterward, Shi Lan calmed down. Since the man had seen it anyway, there was nothing else to say; that was her current attitude.

However, somewhere in her heart, it felt as if it was being tugged at by a thread, sour and uncomfortable.

Shi Lan didn’t reply further, and Yan Shixiu didn’t send another message.

“Uh… it’s okay, it’s just a mishap, right?” Sun Ling quickly tried to soothe Shi Lan, who seemed a bit more serious.

Shi Lan put down her phone, suddenly feeling no appetite for food, and asked Sun Ling, “How do you know about the Shi Family causing trouble?”

“My parents are in business and have dealings with the Shi Family from time to time, and that’s what I heard. Mr. Yan gave up 10% of the Shi Family inheritance and only took over his deceased wife’s company. Don’t you think his actions have some special meaning?”

The deceased wife, Miss Shi herself, didn’t even know about this.

Before marrying her, Yan Shixiu was a top student who always wore a white shirt and glasses, constantly buried in research textbooks, always logical in thought and speech. Speaking frankly seemed against his nature, and that was the fundamental reason Miss Shi had communication difficulties with him.

“And his own company, being a real business, competes with the Shi Family, and has always faced difficulties. As you know, after Miss Shi’s death, the Shi Family lacked a real leader, and the uncles became restless, causing quite a stir.”

The Shi family was capable of many things, and Shi Lan knew it well, but she had reincarnated and thus escaped it.

She had thought that after inheriting her estate, Yan Shixiu had both fame and fortune and would soon move on and remarry.

But now this pathetic man, flirting with an obscure actress like her, what was he thinking?

Couldn’t he have made better choices? Shi Lan felt disappointed.

Because in this world, if there was still someone who could receive Shi Lan’s sole kindness and blessings, that person was Yan Shixiu.

Yet in this life, Shi Lan still couldn’t understand him.

But no matter what, she had already spoken her rejection.

And just then, Shi Lan’s phone screen lit up again.

Mr. Yan: “But since you withdrew it… I’ll assume you haven’t thought it through yet.”

Upon seeing this message, Shi Lan’s mind exploded.

Moreover, after her conversation with Sun Ling, no matter what, she couldn’t bring herself to speak cold-hearted words to Yan Shixiu. This man was taking the hardships for her.
