After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 551 - 546: Bones
Chapter 551: Chapter 546: Bones
Staring at the strange item in the bag, Qi Si remembered the anger he had felt in front of that tomb. At this moment, he couldn’t laugh, but was instead consumed by an extremely complex emotion that occupied all his senses.
This belonged to her.
Those were the bones, apart from the destroyed samples, truly laid out before his eyes.
He didn’t feel anything eerie or scared, only a complex mix of feelings.
Which meant that Shen Yan had been carrying this thing around with her all along.
What kind of feelings did she have at that time?
What mood had driven Shen Yan to dig up these things? Was she very upset at the time?
The thought of Shen Yan sadly digging up the grave, carefully removing things belonging to herself, made Qi Si’s breath ache with pain.
He carefully wrapped it up and placed it in a more exquisite box.
Then he immediately called to have an even more suitable box made.

Holding the item she had retrieved, Shen Yan felt a bit more grounded.
As she stepped out of the doors of Beijing Airport, Shen Yan was met with Qi Si’s burning gaze.
"Mr. Qi, here..."
"Welcome back."
Qi Si pulled her into his embrace.
"I’m not gone forever, Mr. Qi. If you act like this, what will you do when I go to work later on?"
"Then I’ll choose an office as close to you as possible."
Qi Si held her hand tight, looking down at her smiling face.
Shen Yan noticed something different about him, "Mr. Qi, I didn’t leave on purpose, and I made it clear when I left..."
So her departure wasn’t without notice.
Yet Qi Si pulled her into his arms again, holding her tight.
He said nothing, yet it was as if he had said everything.
"Mr. Qi, when is our wedding date?" Shen Yan still felt something was off and quickly steered the conversation in that direction.
Qi Si said, "Grandpa and the others have chosen a date already, early next month is the auspicious day."
"So soon, early next month!" It was already the middle of the month.
Which meant there were only a couple of weeks left to prepare?
Would they manage it in time?
"We have already delayed too long," he complained it was too slow.
Shen Yan said, "I haven’t gone back to Shencheng University to explain."
She hadn’t intended to neglect her studies, yet it ended up that way.
Qi Si: "Since it has been delayed for so long, why not transfer to Beijing?"
"It’s just a matter of one or two years. There’s no need to transfer; I’m also accustomed to Shencheng University." Shen Yan didn’t want to spend time getting used to another environment.
Thinking of the friends she made at Shencheng University, Qi Si also couldn’t bear the thought of her being lonely again.
The couple returned to their residence, and after freshening up, Qi Si took her to bed to rest.
Holding this person, Qi Si’s heart was finally filled up again.

At night.
Their car drove into the Qi Mansion.
Old Sir Qi had already returned to the Qi Mansion, so they had to pay a visit.
Perhaps because Qi Si had been hanging up the phones earlier, Song Jinwei was waiting outside for them.
Her attitude seemed much better than before.
Shen Yan wasn’t perturbed by this change in Song Jinwei.
"You’re back," Song Jinwei looked at Shen Yan, "Have you been rushing around for announcements these past few days?"
When asked about her work, Shen Yan was caught off guard and nodded.
Regarding her own matters, there was no need for her to tell Song Jinwei.
"Should you need anything in the future, don’t hesitate if there’s something the Qi Family can assist with." Song Jinwei implied that Shen Yan could look to her for help in resolving difficulties within the entertainment circle.
Shen Yan glanced sideways at her again.
Previously, Song Jinwei greatly disliked her involvement in the entertainment industry, so why did she change her tune today?
Shen Yan nodded noncommittally.
Qi Si said in a detached tone, "Yanyan’s career has my support."
The smile on Song Jinwei’s face stiffened a bit.
Qi Si wasn’t even giving her, his mother, a chance to make a show of support.
As if not noticing Song Jinwei’s slightly unpleasant expression, Qi Si took Shen Yan’s hand and led her into the main hall first.
A group of elders had already gathered around Elder Qi.
The last movie Shen Yan had acted in was playing; though it was taken down from cinemas, after it went online, it garnered a huge number of views.
Elder Qi approved of his granddaughter-in-law, and naturally, everyone wanted to give face, continuously praising Shen Yan’s excellence.
They discussed the plot and also the latest popular internet topics about Shen Yan.
Tonight, the conversation revolved solely around the entertainment circle.
Upon Shen Yan and the others’ arrival, they heard praises about Shen Yan’s acting skills, with other female stars being brought up for comparison.
Even if they weren’t speaking the whole truth, Shen Yan truly did outperform the other stars.
"Shen Yan is certainly suited for the path of an artiste, and of course, she’s also a standout in her research field. Qi Si is lucky to have her."
"Old Sir, you should anticipate holding your great-grandson soon!"
"Shen Yan, you’ve come. We were just talking about you. The internet rumors about you having a child are rather far-fetched!"
An offhand comment led others to frequently cast glances at Shen Yan’s flat stomach.
Shen Yan offered a slight smile and said, "I didn’t expect the elders to enjoy gossip so much! As for the rumors online, they should be taken lightly for amusement, not seriously."
The person who had spoken earlier barely managed to maintain their smile.
Qi Si glanced at that elder, and though he said nothing, his gaze turned a bit colder than when he had entered.
Following Elder Qi’s lead in speaking lightly, the others dared not speak further and quieted down.
Shen Yan called someone over to sit across from Qi Si.
"The date has been set, and the wedding is a bit rushed, but Qi Si mentioned you could prepare on time, so we chose the best early date next month. Do you have any objections?" Elder Qi called Shen Yan over to personally inquire about her wishes.
Shen Yan shook her head, "If Grandfather says it’s fine, then it’s fine. I have no objections."
"Mhm," Elder Qi then turned towards Qi Si, "You should take charge of the wedding preparations."
"Yes, Grandfather."
"List the names of those you wish to notify on your side. Old Shen will personally handle it." Elder Qi had already discussed some details with Old Shen.
Having both Elder Qi and Old Shen managing the wedding provided considerable honor for Shen Yan and Qi Si. Elder Qi was also making a silent proclamation about Qi Si’s status and position to the Qi Family, and at the same time, indicating to all the Qi Family members how important Shen Yan was as his granddaughter-in-law.
From now on, the Qi Family members would treat Shen Yan with added respect.
"Thank you, Grandfather."
Shen Yan felt somewhat embarrassed.
It wasn’t quite proper for the two elders to have to take over organizing their wedding.
On the other side sat Song Jinwei and Father Qi, their faces tense, seated in silence, unable to get a word in.
What kind of parents were they?
Just mere decorations, it seemed.
Seeing the looks from the Qi Family members cast their way, Song Jinwei felt her cheeks burn.
Her son’s wedding, yet they, as parents, couldn’t even make a single comment—it was simply laughable.
Elder Qi didn’t care about sparing his son and daughter-in-law’s feelings; they should see for themselves.
After discussing the matter, everyone gathered around the big table for dinner.
With Elder Qi present, everyone was extra careful with their words at the dining table.
What shouldn’t be said, and what could be said, each needed careful consideration before speaking.
The meal went by without incident.
Afterward, Elder Qi asked them to stay.
