Chapter 204 Xiao Zhang's Thoughts

Chen Yan leaned back in his chair.

"Yu Lancun, remember your place well. You're lucky to be alive this time. Be sure to thank this child."

Upon hearing Chen Yan's words, Yu Lan felt a great sense of relief and collapsed to the ground.

"Secretary Zheng, tell Miss Yu not to show up here unless it's absolutely necessary."

Yu Lansun scrambled out of the room.

Before leaving, the child seemed to sense his mother's departure and cried even louder.

Yu Lan was filled with extreme fear, but her son's cries made her stop in her tracks.

She knew that if she said another word, Chen Yan might kill her.

But at this moment, maternal love made her unafraid of death: "Mr. Chen, may I feed my child one last time?"

Chen Yan rubbed his temples, waved his hand, and said, not wanting to pay any more attention to Yu Lancun, "Go."

Yu Lanceng went inside, and Zheng Li helped Chen Yan sit in his wheelchair.

Even from this short distance, Chen Yan's legs were already under tremendous pressure.

The pain was excruciating, like a piercing wound.

As soon as Yu Lan entered the room, the child really stopped crying.

Even Chen Yan was curious about how Yu Lanceng coaxed the child.

He maneuvered his wheelchair to the nanny's room.

Yu Lancun didn't do anything special, she just breastfed the baby.

The child excitedly grabbed Yu Lanchun's hair and played with it.

Yu Lancun radiated maternal love.

The children's eyes were all narrowed into slits with laughter.

Chen Yan left silently.

Back in his study, he thought for a moment and said, "Zheng Li, if Yu Lanchun wants to see the child, let her see him, just not when Song Yilin is around. Also, she can't call herself 'mother' in front of the crying child; she can only call her 'auntie.'"

Zheng Li asked, puzzled, "Okay, what about President Song?"

"She doesn't even care about me, so why would she care about Yu Lancun? Let her be."

The more you force a woman like Song Yilin, the more she resents it.

But if you don't force her, it's even less likely you'll keep her.

The moment Yu Lancun appeared, it seemed as if there was no longer any possibility between them.

Vice President Chu, there's no need for you to return to Lijiang Group.

Whoever you think of, they'll appear.

Instead of going to see Vice President Chu, Vice President Chu came to him.

As soon as he entered the door, he started criticizing Song Yilin.

Chen Yan listened silently.

Then he slowly added, "Song Yilin, she has never said a bad word about you to my face."

Vice President Chu was immediately put in a difficult position.

"Vice President Chu, you should know that the person you're talking about is my wife."

Vice President Chu began to get nervous: "President Chen, that's not what I meant."

"I don't care what you mean, why did you let Yu Lanchun come to my room that night?"

Chen Yan said it very casually, but Vice President Chu's legs were already trembling.

He forced himself to say, "Back then, you were always chasing after Song Yilin. I thought if I gave you a woman to play with, you wouldn't be thinking about Song Yilin anymore."

Upon hearing Vice President Chu's response, Chen Yan no longer wanted to listen.

A brother of many years, who has already shot him in the back, has no reason to stay.

"Since Song Yilin has already let you retire, then Vice President Chu should enjoy your retirement."

Vice President Chu exclaimed incredulously, "President Chen, we've been through thick and thin together for years, and you're just going to let a woman get rid of me like this?"

Chen Yan's pupils shot out like ice: "You think it's believable that you'd tell my woman this kind of nonsense?"

Vice President Chu froze.

I couldn't stop feeling scared.

Chen Yan said coldly, "Considering our years of brotherhood, we'll go our separate ways from now on."

Knowing that Chen Yan meant he was letting him off the hook, he bowed to Chen Yan and left.

Before leaving, I saw a woman on the second-floor balcony of the villa next door.

Like a canary in a gilded cage.

He lifted his foot and walked over.

"Yu Lancun, I've turned you into a caged bird? Shouldn't you thank me?"

Yu Lan sneered: "You think I don't know what your purpose is? You're not as cunning as Chen Yan or Song Yilin. You think you can control a child and get Lijiang Group by having me have one? You didn't expect that, did you? Chen Yan got out so quickly."

Based on Chen Yan's charges, if he doesn't surrender himself, he won't be released for at least ten years.

When no one inherits the Lijiang Group, it will naturally fall into the hands of Chen Yan's child. By controlling this child, Chen Yan can indirectly control the Lijiang Group.

Chen Yan already knew his purpose, and he wasn't afraid to break off relations: "No matter what my purpose is, you are now the mother of the future heir of Lijiang Group. Shouldn't you thank me properly?"

"Thank you? You let me have a child, but in name, the child isn't even mine. You can't see the child, and I can't leave the house freely. What's the difference between this and being in prison? Are you helping me, or are you pushing me into a fire pit?"

“You’re so close, you can easily seduce Chen Yan. He’ll divorce Song Yilin sooner or later anyway, you’ll have plenty of opportunities.”

"Opportunity?" Yu Lan raised her chin, letting Vice President Chu see the five handprints on her neck: "Besides Song Yilin, which woman could catch his eye?"

Vice President Chu was a little surprised.

His eyes darted away.

Ready to leave.

"Vice President Chu, you've ruined my life, how do you plan to repay me?"

Vice President Chu laughed loudly: "Scam you? Wasn't that something you did willingly?"

He then strode away.

Yu Lan stood there, stunned.

Yes, it was her own choice.

She thought that by getting into Chen Yan's bed, she could escape this hellhole, but she never expected this.

We arrived at another fiery pit.

After returning to the company, Song Yilin asked Xiao Zhang to help her find a divorce lawyer.

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Zhang was even happier than Song Yilin herself, even more so than when she herself got divorced: "President Song, you're finally divorced?"

Song Yilin nodded: "But why are you so excited?"

"I'm happy for you. You're so outstanding, you don't need to serve those stinky men."

I knew before that Xiao Zhang disliked marriage and didn't want to have a boyfriend.

I never thought about it in detail before, but now I feel like something's not right.

"Xiao Zhang, are you misogynistic?"

Xiao Zhang's face was full of disgust: "What's so likable about a stinky man?"

I used to think that young girls didn't want to have boyfriends, or that they were afraid of being pressured by their families to get married, so they were disgusted.

But now.

It doesn't seem so.

The girl doesn't like men at heart.

I never realized it before, could she be attracted to women?

Recalling the many intimate moments we had shared before.

Could it be that Xiao Zhang's target is her?

If that were possible, it would be absolutely mind-blowing.

She is very clear about her sexual orientation.

But she can't just fire Xiao Zhang because of his special sexual orientation, can she?

That's not fair to Xiao Zhang.

Song Yilin carefully considered her words: "Men and women both have their good and bad sides. I'm lucky to have met a good man and have children with him. I'm very happy. Of course, everyone's definition of happiness is different."

Xiao Zhang was a little unsteady on his feet: "Really? Congratulations then, I wish you happiness."

She knew that Xiao Zhang was serious when he said that.

Although Xiao Zhang may have different thoughts about her, she has her profession and her bottom line.
