Lan Xi has known a lot of things since she was a child, such as the relationship between the Lan family and the Shi family, her father's mistresses and illegitimate children, and the fact that on her tenth birthday she actually heard Grandpa Shi ask her if she wanted to marry Brother Shi.
Each scene would appear before her eyes randomly at different times, allowing her to piece together the fragmented future.
My father was disgusting and vulgar beneath his well-dressed appearance. On the surface, he and his wife were respectful and loving to each other. He used his methods of deceiving women to gradually lead my mother into depravity.
At the age of ten, she happily agreed to the arranged marriage at the suggestion of Grandpa Shi. She followed Shi Tinghan like an addict, calling him "brother" all the time, and mistook the feelings she could not even identify as love for him.
At the beginning, everything was really good. Shi Tinghan took good care of her, and her father often told her, "You are the eldest daughter of the Lan family. Your grades and education are the least important. Even if you don't know anything, you will have a good life under Lan Shi's protection in the future."
Although her mother did not agree, her father's love made her gradually relax her vigilance, and she also tacitly accepted that Lan Xi would spend her life mainly with the children of the Shi family.
Next, they graduated smoothly and went to an ordinary university. Shi Tinghan studied business finance, and she studied the art she liked. She did not go to graduate school or join the group. The annual shares of the Lan family were enough for her to live a lavish life every year.
Grandpa Shi liked her very much and proposed that they get engaged when she was 22. If the children wanted to have fun, they could get married a few years later.
According to him, "Xixi is such a good granddaughter-in-law, you must hold on tight and don't let anyone else abduct her!"
She remembered that at that time, she seemed to be hiding behind Shi Tinghan with a red face, protesting softly: "Grandpa, I won't run away!"
At the age of 23, a general manager named Lan Qi came to the group. She witnessed the biggest quarrel between her parents in the past 20 years. The woman whose edges had been smoothed out by her family became hysterical for the first time.
The father was terrifyingly calm. He stood opposite his wife and said expressionlessly:
"My daughter doesn't have the ability to take over the company. What will happen to the Lan family after you and I pass away? Do you have the heart to hand it over to outsiders? I can't do such a thing that would be shameful to our ancestors!"
Lan Xi stood at the railing on the second floor of the villa, watching her mother raise the vase at hand and smash it at her father!
"Mom! What are you doing?" In the picture, she ran downstairs in panic and covered her father's forehead which was bleeding.
She pushed away her mother, whose expression was as distorted as hers, called an ambulance, and said, "Can you please stop making trouble?"
She didn't see her mother's stiff face behind her, nor did she notice the raised corners of her father's mouth on the stretcher...
Being young and energetic, she had no idea of the blow her husband's infidelity would bring, and was confident that Shi Tinghan would not let her face such a moment.
until……
She heard about a woman named Qin Xiangnan from their mutual friend. Shanshan, who was also at the party, said happily, "She is truly the most unique woman I have ever met!"
The sense of crisis made her hair stand on end. She asked people to investigate this woman. Funny thing was that she was brought up in a pampered state and never knew what concealment was. Soon what she had done became a hot topic.
For the first time, she saw Shi Tinghan scolding with a cold face. The man in a well-tailored slim suit leaned against the desk, looking at her sharply, and every word he said was full of blame and irritation.
"Lan Xi, she's just a designer. Don't you think you've gone a little too far?"
"Do you know how much it cost me to get her from a rival company?"
"Have you considered the impact of doing this? We're getting married soon. Will doing something like this at this time make any news?"
"Qin Xiangnan is just a small employee. Will your actions put her in an embarrassing situation?"
"Lan Xi! You never acted so unreasonably before!"
As a notoriously domineering young lady in Shanghai, Lan Xi lost her mind in anger. She threw the teacup in her hand away, stood up with her head held high, and shouted uncontrollably:
"Shi Tinghan! Listen to what you said. You actually blamed me for that little employee you mentioned? Don't say I just asked someone to investigate her. Even if I notified the HR department to fire her, it wouldn't be too much..."
"You dare!" Before she could finish her words, Shi Tinghan, who was usually taciturn, suddenly became furious and interrupted her loudly.
She saw that she was so frightened by the scolding that her body trembled, and then she rushed forward and beat Shi Tinghan like a madman, but was finally pushed away by him impatiently and fell to the ground.
There was a knock on the door behind him, followed by footsteps. Lan Xi turned around and saw a familiar face in the investigation materials. He hurriedly got up from the ground, not wanting anyone to see his embarrassment, especially this woman!
Qin Xiangnan glanced at her, his eyes showing no emotion, no arrogance or contempt, as if he was looking at a stranger, but it made Lan Xi feel ashamed.
"I'm here to submit my resignation letter!" The woman walked up to Shi Tinghan, put the letter in her hand on the table, and turned away without waiting for him to speak.
If Lan Xi's mischief only made Shi Tinghan helpless, then Qin Xiangnan's resignation letter pushed the matter to a climax.
"I don't agree. You have signed a contract. The group will not treat you unfairly!" Shi Tinghan's voice was low. He glanced at Lan Xi with anger in his eyes and blurted out the words of rejection.
Lan Xi was secretly happy at first, but when she heard that Qin Xiangnan wanted to resign, regardless of whether the two had any relationship or not, she didn't want her to stay in the Shi family group.
Qin Xiangnan stopped walking and did not turn around. Her voice was very cold:
"Mr. Shi, with my current grades, I don't have to work for you. If the working environment is smoky and chaotic, I don't think I can work seriously."
