Chapter 249 Why did she react so strongly?
Shen Yan frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice with great dissatisfaction, "Unmarried? Then how did she have a son?"
"Maybe...maybe it's an illegitimate child with some man?" the bodyguard guessed.
"Go and find out who the child's father is. Also, find out about Daisy's family situation. Send a few bodyguards to Paris to investigate thoroughly. Don't just do a perfunctory job." Shen Yan felt that she was very familiar and that she was somewhat mysterious.
"Yes, Young Master Shen, why are you so curious about which man she had a son with?" the bodyguard asked curiously. Could it be that he's taken a liking to that woman? She's not even that good-looking.
Besides, finding out the child's father must be very difficult, right? Who knows what that woman's romantic history is like? And she's living abroad...
"Just do what I told you to do, stop talking nonsense." Shen Yan said in a deep voice, looking at the documents in his hand. His gaze suddenly fell on a line of text: She's from S City?
Is it really possible that I've met her?
"Go check again: when did this woman go to Paris? Also, where in S City did she live before, and who else is in her family?"
"Yes." The bodyguard nodded and left his office.

Evening, at the White Horse Club.
Nan Weiwei called her son before leaving get off work. There was a nanny at home cooking for her and keeping him company.
The luxurious private room was filled not only with all the design department colleagues, but also with middle and senior management from other departments of the Earl. Shen Yan was there simply to help her get to know her colleagues as quickly as possible, since they would be interacting with each other frequently in the future.
There were dozens of people sitting in the private room, and each of them came over to offer her a toast. She had already drunk more than a bottle of red wine, and her head was spinning.
Seeing that she had drunk too much, Shen Yan helped her drink a few more cups.
He looked at the woman leaning back on the sofa, her eyes slightly closed, rubbing her temples, and asked, "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing," Nan Weiwei replied coolly.
Shen Yan picked up his cigarettes from the coffee table, took one out and put it in his mouth. He lit it with a flick of his lighter. He didn't smoke before, but because of what happened six years ago, he had become addicted.
"Where was Daisy from before she went abroad?" He leaned back on the sofa with his long legs crossed, exhaled a puff of smoke, and took the opportunity to ask deliberately.
Nan paused slightly, not wanting to mention the city for fear of arousing his suspicion, so she lied, "...City A".
"City A?" Shen Yan couldn't help but laugh. The information he had checked today was for this city. Why was she lying to him? Interesting.
He couldn't help but become even more curious about this woman.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" She opened her eyes and turned to look at the man sitting next to her.
"Nothing, just asking casually. So when did you go abroad?" he asked again after taking a drag of his cigarette.
"I'm sorry, this is my personal privacy. I don't like to talk about my private matters with people I'm not familiar with." Nan Weiwei didn't want to answer his question.
"I'm your boss now, and we're practically neighbors. Aren't we familiar with each other?" Shen Yan asked.
"We've only known each other for a few days, are we that close?" She glanced at him and asked with a light laugh.
Shen Yan didn't say anything more, nor did he tell her that he felt a strange sense of familiarity with her. He picked up his wine glass, about to drink it himself, when he suddenly paused, then turned to look at her and said:
"You haven't toasted me yet tonight. Aren't you going to toast your boss?"
Nan Weiwei was already very dizzy and was trying her best to stay conscious, afraid that she would say the wrong thing if she got too drunk. She looked at the man and frowned slightly. What if she didn't give him face in front of so many colleagues and he made things difficult for her at the company later?
I was hoping to get the ledger smoothly.
She could only pick up the glass and say, "Mr. Shen, let me toast you..."
After finishing her drink, a chill ran through her chest. She added ice to her glass, feeling nauseous. Just as she was about to put the glass down, the man beside her suddenly picked up the bottle and poured her another half-full glass, then poured one for himself as well. He said...
"I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration in the future, and I also hope that you can design even better works and lead the Earl to a higher level."
After saying that, he drank the wine in his glass.
Nan Wei looked at him and frowned. These words left her no choice but to drink. Despite her drunkenness, she drank the wine in the glass and felt even more dizzy. She felt like she was sitting in a Ferris wheel, with the world spinning around her.
"Are you alright?" Shen Yan asked, glancing at her.
Nan Weiwei cursed him inwardly. He knew she was already drunk, yet he made her drink two more large glasses and still asked if she was alright? Did he have no eyes?
“…It’s nothing.” Her tone was somewhat somber.
Shen Yan sensed that she was a little angry. "It's good that you're alright. Daisy has a good alcohol tolerance."
Nan Weiwei ignored him and turned her face slightly to the other side. Lisa, who was sitting diagonally opposite them, kept staring at them from time to time, feeling very jealous.
She poured herself a glass of wine, walked over, asked her colleague to make room for her, and sat down next to Nan Weiwei, intending to get the woman drunk through her 'flattery':
"Director, let me toast you again. I hope you will continue to take care of me in the future."
"I'm sorry, I've had too much to drink tonight, so I won't drink anymore. As for work, as long as your design is up to standard, I will give you a chance." Nan Weiwei could tell from the moment she entered the design department today that this acting director was hostile towards her.
That's normal, since I took her place.
Lisa felt embarrassed by her lack of respect, but she could only swallow it. She then deliberately asked, "The director is so famous, you must have a lot of suitors, right? Do you have a boyfriend now?"
"Excuse me, this is my personal privacy." Nan Weiwei didn't want to answer questions from irrelevant people.
"The director is so aloof." Lisa disliked her even more. Humph, she doesn't answer this or that, what's with the mysterious act?
What are this woman's weaknesses and vulnerabilities?
Nan Wei glanced at her watch; it was almost ten o'clock. She said to the man on the other side, "Mr. Shen, I have to go back now. I have to get up early for work tomorrow."
"Since we live in the same neighborhood, I'll give you a ride." Shen Yan stubbed out his cigarette, said in a low voice, and stood up. She wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, he had already walked out first.
Having already said what she wanted to say, she had no choice but to get up and leave. Her colleagues looked at her and the president in surprise; they lived in the same neighborhood!
The CEO is still single, so she's really in a great position to get what she wants. Could she one day seduce the CEO and become their boss's wife?
Nan Weiwei was walking unsteadily, her vision blurred, and everything appeared double. She could only hold onto the wall with one hand. Suddenly, someone steadied her arm, and a deep, magnetic male voice came from behind her:
"Let me help you out."
She immediately removed his hand with obvious disgust, her tone cold, "Thank you, but no need, I can walk by myself." With that, she walked forward quickly, her steps unsteady.
Standing behind her, Shen Yan looked at her. He had only kindly helped her up, so why was she reacting so strongly? Did she not like being near men?
