The first time Shan Lian heard Liu Yinyin's name was when the other party came to their Ministry of Foreign Affairs and said that Jiang Ci had ruined her marriage.
Upon hearing Jiang Ci's description, Shan Lian felt that this woman was truly wicked and that she should stay far away from her to avoid getting involved.
She did not see Liu Yinyin at that time, nor did she know what Liu Yinyin looked like.
After her maternal grandfather stood up for her, Shan Lian never thought about who her father would find for her stepmother.
So much so that Shan Lian couldn't connect Liu Yinyin with the woman who was going to be her stepmother.
What my aunt said today was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Shan Lian completely stunned.
How could my cousin choose a woman like that!
It wasn't enough that she was with her father; she was also with her cousin!
Dan Lian couldn't accept that her father and cousin were in love with the same woman, so she rode her bicycle to Dan Fangdu's residence.
Her random thoughts on the way led her to understand something.
Was Liu Yinyin doing this to get revenge on her? Did she choose to be with Shan Fangdu to get back at her for not being able to marry Guo Zhen?
Shan Lian was a girl who didn't get angry easily, but thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, and her whole body was once again ablaze with anger.
"That's how I was sent out to follow people." Jiang Ci quickly told Zhou Mingli the whole story. She followed cautiously, but her eyes gleamed. "If Dan Fangdu knew that he and his uncle had slept with a woman, I wonder if he could still love Liu Yinyin."
Hearing her words, Zhou Mingli knew she was being sarcastic. "The extent of the unilateral situation is uncertain, but it's certain that Liu Yinyin can no longer stay in Beijing."
She was so audacious that she knew Shan Fangdu was a member of the Shan family, yet she still sided with him. If Liu Yinyin wasn't stupid, then she could only be described as vicious.
As the two talked, they soon arrived near the house allocated by the individual.
He lived in an apartment building, which wasn't far from Jiang Ci's house, just two streets away.
The buildings here are not quite the same as those in the newspaper's staff quarters; at least you can't just openly see the front doors of each household from downstairs.
Dan Lian got off her bicycle and headed straight for the second floor.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli immediately followed.
As soon as they went up, Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli saw two familiar faces standing there.
Xia Lei and Liu Yinyin were both standing there!
Oh dear, what a small world!
Jiang Ci raised her eyebrows slightly but did not step forward, because quite a few people had already arrived on the second floor.
When Shan Lian saw Liu Yinyin, her eyes immediately turned red.
Dan Lian clenched her teeth and hurried over.
"You...you...you bad person!!"
Shan Shengshuo never taught Shan Lian to speak ill of others. She was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, inexperienced in the ways of the world, and didn't know how to swear.
"How could you be so mean! It wasn't enough that you were with my dad! Now you're with my cousin too!" Shan Lian was furious, not even thinking that she had to cover up for the sake of the Shan family's reputation.
Liu Yinyin looked extremely frightened and burrowed behind Xia Lei.
Xia Lei's face was so dark it could drip ink. He grabbed Shan Lian's raised arm and said, "Enough! Who do you think you are? You want to hit someone?!"
"Xia Lei! Let go of Xiao Lian!"
The deep voice carried an imposing aura, and Xia Lei's hand, which was gripping Shan Lian's arm, stiffened. He reluctantly let go of her hand.
Besides Xia Lei and Liu Yinyin, there is also the Shan family, including Shan Shengshuo's eldest son, Shan Yingguo.
At this moment, Shan Yingguo's face turned very ugly after seeing Shan Lian.
He originally only brought Xia Lei to take Liu Yinyin away and didn't intend to disturb anyone.
After all, this isn't something to bring glory to the family; it's a family scandal, so the fewer people who know about it, the better.
"Xiao Lian, what brings you here?" Shan Yingguo pulled Shan Lian away and said in a deep voice, "This is not a place for you. Go back right now."
"How could it not be?" Shan Lian angrily broke free from her uncle's grasp and said, "My aunt has already told me everything! That woman deliberately got together with my cousin to get revenge on me and our Shan family!"
Dan Yingguo didn't pay attention to what followed, and frowned as he asked, "Your aunt went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
He turned his head and saw Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli standing not far away.
Jiang Ci smiled kindly and innocently, "The director sent me here to see what's going on."
This means the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs knows!
Dan Yingguo's forehead throbbed, his head spun, and he wished he could just pass out right now and stop caring about anything!
He cursed his wife in his heart for being more trouble than she was worth!
The Shan family tried their best to cover up the news, but she just blurted everything out as soon as she opened her mouth. I really don't know what that idiot was thinking!
Shan Lian didn't notice her uncle's strange behavior; at that moment, she couldn't think of anything else and simply said, "That's right!"
Dan Lian glared angrily at Liu Yinyin, "Don't stand behind a man! Liu Yinyin! Explain yourself! What exactly were you thinking when you seduced my dad and my cousin!"
Liu Yinyin did indeed hear everything Shan Lian and Shan Yingguo said.
She pursed her lips, suppressing her joy, and lowered her head, pretending to be panicked and helpless, neither speaking nor expressing her opinion.
It seems that the news of Guo Zhen and Shan Fangdu being with her has already spread, and the Shan family's reputation is in jeopardy. Even if she leaves Shan Fangdu now, she will do so without hesitation.
Isn't the Shan family supposed to be powerful? They forced a young girl away from Guo Zhen, almost leaving her homeless.
She's happy that the Shan family has become a laughing stock.
There isn't a single good person in the Shan family; they abuse their power to oppress others. Even if she were to take revenge on the Shan family, she would only feel pleasure, not unease.
Xia Lei looked coldly at Shan Lian, "Your father and cousin can't even control their own bodies, how dare you, a young girl, question them?"
Dan Lian, a thin-skinned person, was no match for Xia Lei in an argument. With just one sentence, Xia Lei made Dan Lian's brain go blank and she lost all reason. Her eyes turned red and her face was filled with indignant anger.
Dan Lian rushed forward and shoved Xia Lei hard, angrily saying, "Who do you think you are! She seduced my family, why can't I ask her! What's your relationship with her? You're speaking up for her! Do you even know what she did?!"
"Why hasn't the police arrested her! She's having affairs! She should be locked up and eating for free!" Shan Lian, her blood boiling, grabbed Liu Yinyin and said to Shan Yingguo, "Uncle, why hasn't she been arrested yet!"
Suppressing his anger, Xia Lei shoved Shan Lian aside, shouting, "That's enough! Get out of my way!"
Shan Lian was a weak and helpless girl. When Xia Lei, a strong man, pushed her without any control, she fell backward.
Behind her were sharp, shattered glass.
