As soon as she entered the room, she saw Yan's mother sitting in the box in an elegant moon-white cheongsam, slowly waving a round fan. She smiled the first time she saw her.
"Lili, can I call you that?"
Shen Fangli: “…”
Can I still say no?
She also smiled and nodded: "Of course, my parents call me that too."
Mother Yan smiled gently: "Don't be nervous, come and sit down."
Shen Fangli sat on the chair opposite Yan Mu.
"Auntie, do you have something to talk to me about?" Shen Fangli asked first.
Mother Yan: "You are so anxious, child."
Shen Fangli thought in her heart who this 'also' referred to.
First of all, let’s rule out Yan Xianjue. His personality of lying down as soon as he falls down is really not in line with his impatience.
She had just begun to speculate when Mother Yan on the opposite side suddenly spoke out of the blue.
"You can also hear the voice of Xianjue."
Shen Fangli's pupils trembled, and with a flick of her wrist, the teacup she had just picked up fell from her hand, hitting the ground with a 'bang' and instantly shattered into pieces.
She instinctively wanted to shake her head to deny it, but as soon as her mouth opened, before she could say anything, she stopped at the all-seeing eyes of Yan's mother.
Mother Yan handed her another teacup, as if she had anticipated her reaction and had prepared a spare teacup nearby.
Shen Fangli took the new teacup stiffly. She felt her heart beating violently at this moment, and her vision went dark.
She suspected that if she wasn't sitting on a chair at that moment, her legs would give out and she would fall to the ground.
This was a secret she had never told anyone, including her father.
Mother Yan was neither anxious nor urging, she quietly waved her round fan, giving Shen Fangli time to digest.
After a long time, Shen Fangli finally recovered from her shock and accurately found the word "也".
She said in confusion and surprise: "You...you...can you hear it too?"
Mother Yan smiled faintly: "It's not me, it's our whole family."
"Oh, now there's one more person who knows."
Shen Fangli's heart skipped a beat.
She knew that she had no bad intentions and had never thought of using Yan Xianjue's feelings to do anything to hurt him.
At best, she just wanted to escape the fate of being the villainous female supporting character.
But...will Yan Xianjue's family believe her? Or rather, are they willing to believe her?
For them, would they accept an uncontrollable girlfriend?
No, now she wasn't considering whether to accept her or not, but... Yan Xianjue's words about his family being legitimate businessmen, so he must have been right, right?!
When she came, she was still thinking about how she would refuse if Yan's mother really gave her five million.
As a result, the plot fast-forwarded to the point where the fact that she could hear Yan Xianjue's thoughts was exposed.
The severity of these two situations is totally not on the same level!
Mother Yan spoke at the right time to prevent her thoughts from sliding into the abyss.
She had to stop it. Seeing the increasing wariness and fear in Shen Fangli's eyes, Mother Yan suspected that if the child continued to think about it, she would start to suspect that she was going to spend money to hire someone to assassinate her.
Really, if she really wanted to kill her, why would she be sitting here chatting face to face with Shen Fangli?
Instead, they have long since disappeared from the world quietly.
After all, he could still hold someone accountable for Yan Xianjue's actions, but he had no way to deal with the accident.
Mother Yan blinked, very satisfied with Shen Fangli's reaction at the moment.
After several discussions, they decided to confront Shen Fangli.
It wasn't because they trusted her, but simply because they were worried that she would react wrongly in front of Yan Xianjue without them knowing.
It's not what they said, but with the reasoning ability Yan Xianjue has demonstrated so far, maybe one day he can bring his grandfather back to life.
The world is already chaotic enough, let's not add more supernatural events.
She added tea to the teacup of the still uneasy Shen Fangli and said softly, "Don't be nervous. I didn't come to you to pursue this."
"After all, if you want to investigate, I won't come to see you at all."
Shen Fangli: “…”
She couldn't let go of the worry in her heart, and she suspected that Yan's mother didn't really want to comfort her.
But she had to admit that the other party was right. Given the gap in their social status, it would be as easy for the Yan family to control her as to crush an ant.
Thinking of this, Shen Fangli nodded. She pretended to be calm and asked directly: "You are right, so what did you come to me to understand?"
Mother Yan shook her head: "No, it's not that I want to know something, but I want you to know something."
Yan's mother originally wanted her to order the dishes first, but judging from her current behavior, she didn't seem to be in the mood to do so.
She simply got straight to the point: "Xianjue, he's not as normal as he seems."
"Ah?" Shen Fangli was stunned.
She thought that the Yan family was dissatisfied with her, but she ended up talking about her own children's shortcomings first. What was this trick?
But she soon realized that what Yan's mother meant was not that Yan Xianjue was bad, but rather: "Xianjue has amnesia."
Shen Fangli was even more shocked: “But he obviously has a good memory.”
Yan's mother didn't respond to her words, but continued, "We believe that since you are in love with Xianjue, you should have a certain right to know."
"Of course, since you can hear Xianjue's inner voice, so," she pushed a document over, "you should understand the confidentiality agreement."
Of course Shen Fangli knew that when she signed the contract with Yan Xianjue Company, she also signed a confidentiality agreement.
But does this determination have legal effect?
There seems to be no law that stipulates whether or not one can reveal other people's true feelings.
Yan's mother seemed to see through her doubts and smiled as she said something Yan Xianjue once said: "You have to trust the Yan family's legal team."
Shen Fangli nodded, turned to the back page, signed her name, and pressed her fingerprint.
He handed it back to Yan's mother, who took a look at it and put it into her handbag at her side with satisfaction.
"When Xianjue was four years old, he was kidnapped."
Shen Fangli sighed in her heart. No wonder she always felt that the security system around Yan Xianjue was a bit too much.
Mother Yan continued, "If the kidnappers wanted money or property, or wanted us to help them smuggle themselves out of the country, to be honest, we would agree without hesitation."
"But unfortunately, it was a kidnapping intended to retaliate against the Yan family."
"The kidnapping of Xianjue was simply because he was the youngest and had no ability to resist."
"He was kept alone in a wooden room with the door and windows boarded up."
"There was only one dagger in the room."
Mother Yan's eyes showed sadness: "That was left for him by the kidnappers, so that he could commit suicide when he couldn't bear it anymore."
