Chapter 286 Teach Shen Mo a Lesson This Time

Oh, my god! How many times was she told not to make a scene? But she just wouldn't listen. Now she got what she deserved. Taking a look at the dumbfounded First Madame, the Old Madame waved to Secretary Yang, indicating Yang to support her to take a rest.

No one knew how tired she was, to be more precise, both mentally and physically exhausted.

However, just a moment later, the First Madame came to the Old Madame's room. Regardless of her status, she sat directly beside her and started nagging. "Mom, is Shen Yan going to place us under the house arrest?"

The Old Madame let out a sigh before she spoke. "I've already told you not to force him too much. You just don't believe me. He grew up with you and you should know how determined he is. No one can stop him."

Even rabbits would bite people if they were cornered. Let alone Shen Yan, he was a fierce adult lion, more feral than a rabbit.

"And you are just going to give him free rein to act so recklessly?" The First Madame saw how those people ill-treated the Second Madame with her own eyes. Now there were their people all around. The First Madame fidgeted.

“What else can we do then? For now, it's the only way at least." Didn't she urge him to recruit others when Shen Yan fired the employees? Now the new employees were here, but she didn't want them. Wasn't her reaction running counter of her intention?

The Old Madame's words implied that she would keep her hands off it and give him the free rein to do anything he wanted at home. She was Shen Yan's grandma, and nobody could do anything to her. Only the First Madame would suffer from it.

"Mom, you are the person in charge of the family." The First Madame said agitatedly.

The Old Madame forced a smile. "Me? Whose family am I in charge of? Who can I control?"

The series of questions silenced the First Madame, leaving her fidgeting by her side.

"Well, forget about it. I'll talk to Mo about it. Mom, do have a rest early. You look so tired." The First Madame slammed the door and left.

How arrogant she was! No wonder Shen Yan would get mad at her. Even Secretary Yang almost lost her temper. Staring blankly at the door for quite a while, Secretary Yang turned to the Old Madame and said. "Let me walk you to the bed."

"OK!" The Old Madame stood up and lifted her head to take a look at the portrait of her deceased husband. Then she said lamentably. "What am I doing this for? What am I struggling on so hard for? The Second Madame has a son to rely on. Who can I depend on?"

"The Old Madame!" Secretary Yang's eyes brimmed with tears.

"Alright, alright. Let's go to sleep." The Old Madame faltered to her bed.

In Yang Family, Yang Weiye and Yang Weiming were sitting in the living room, wondering why the Old Madame didn’t call them and asked them to criticize those who made mistakes at work during tomorrow’s meeting. In principle, Shen Yan should have hit the ceiling since Ke'er made such a huge trouble.

"Look at yourself. What should I say about you?" Yang Weiming looked at his daughter, who kept her head low, fiddling with the piece of clothing worn by Xia Yu in the nightclub, which later was taken out of Shen Yan's villa by Ke'er.

"I just worry about Brother Yan and want him to apologize to the Old Madame to minimize the problem. And when I came there, I saw Xia Yu returned with Brother Yan with that dress on her, which got me really mad." Had Yang Ke'er known that Xia Yu was there to sign a contract with her sister Xia Xiao and ended up being kidnapped by the scoundrels, she would have never got into a fight with her, let alone talked so irresponsibly as to give away the fact that the Second Madame was bullied by the First Madame in Shen Family.

"It seems that you don't know your Brother Yan at all. Do you really think he keeps Xia Yu by his side for the convenience to date her?" Yang Weiming shook his head while talking. The child talked about love and affection all the time, but what on earth did she like or love about Shen Yan?

"I've been admitting my mistakes all evening, dad. Don't tell me off anymore," Yang Ke'er said, scratching her hair. "It is true that the First Madame goes on too far, but it doesn’t result from the amorousness of your Brother Yan. There wouldn't be any problem if we were engaged."

"Ke'er, you should know clearly for now that you don’t have Shen Yan's heart. Why do you still insist on your engagement with him?" Asked by Yang Weiye.

"On the one hand, I do like him. On the other hand, it's for the good of our family. The marriage between Shen Family and Yang Family will also benefit the company!" Yang Ke'er wasn't so immature as they thought her to be. Now it was because Yang Weiye was the CEO of Shen Group that the Yang Group could be sheltered under the wing of it. If Shen Mo was the CEO, how could the Yang Group get any benefit?

"Ke'er, Shen Yan has his own reason not to get engaged with you," Yang Weiye said after thinking for a while. "My dear child, sometimes marriages can be helpful to the company, but not always. You've already grown up and you can see it even if dad and uncle don't tell you. Even if Shen Yan was engaged or married with you and became the CEO, do you think we could get any benefit from it?"

Well...Yang Ke'er had never thought about this. The Old Madame kept implying to her that Shen Mo might alienate Shen Yan. So, Shen Yan needed the prestige of Yang Family in Shen Group to maintain his status. Meanwhile, the marriage between the two families could bind the two groups more tightly and reinforce their cooperation.

Yang Ke'er had always considered it to be the best way since she knew that. However, questioned by the Second Uncle, she started to think over it and found that it was really hard to say. "But we can still get married even if it is not for the good of the company..."

"But he is the second son of Shen Family, and you are the beloved daughter of Yang Family, which means you guys cannot date like others. Especially Shen Yan isn't the type of people who can resign himself to living under the roof of someone else. That's why he didn't develop a relationship with her at the beginning." Yang Weiye sighed to himself. His infatuated niece still didn't realize that Shen Yan had no affection for her.

"Why, uncle? I don't understand! Why should we help him since Brother Yan thought little of us?" Yang Ke'er indeed didn't get it. For such a long time, she thought her uncle secretly stood by Shen Yan's side because of her.

"Ke'er, you are wrong. Just because Shen Yan thought highly of us, he decided not to get engaged to you. You don't need to ask why. You'll know it when it is time for you to know." Yang Weiming thought it was time to reveal a little bit to his daughter. Otherwise, she would be trapped deeply without the ability to escape under the misguidance of the Old Madame. But he couldn't tell her too much. She was still unsophisticated.

This sounded really complicated. She was even not allowed to ask the reason behind it. Nevertheless, she really wanted to know, otherwise, she could stay up all night. Just as she was pestering her uncle and dad for more information, her uncle's phone rang.

It was from his secretary. Yang Weiye picked it up. "What? Shen Yan changed all the servants of Shen Family? OK, I got it. Pay close attention to Shen Mo's action."

Yang Weiye hung up the phone after finishing his words. Looking at his brother, he said. "Now Shen Yan's going to teach Shen Mo a lesson."

Perhaps because he was too tired, at dawn Shen Yan finally broke the long-established habit and missed the 6 o'clock waking time. He slept so deeply that he didn't even hear the alarm Xia Yu set for him.

Xia Yu felt better both physically and mentally after a night's rest. It was seven o'clock and there was still some time to get prepared and go out. But still she felt pretty tired. Such a cozy bed prevented her from getting up. She turned the body over and struggled to get up.

Aunt Ma had already prepared the breakfast, and she beckoned Xia Yu to have breakfast. Seeing Xia Yu was already done with face-washing and tooth-brushing, she felt sympathy for Xia Yu and admired her as well. Yang Ke'er made such a scene last night. Aunt Ma thought Xia Yu wouldn't get up such early today.

"Good Morning, Miss Xia!" Aunt Ma greeted Xia Yu.

“Good morning, Aunt Ma. Where's Shen Yan? Has he already gone?” There would be a board meeting in the headquarters today, so Xia Yu thought Shen Yan had already gone to the company.

She looked at the time and thought that she needed to set off hurriedly as well. She had to try to arrive and signed the contract with Xia Xiao before the board meeting officially began.

"No, he hasn't got up yet." Aunt Ma knew it was almost dawn when Shen Yan came back.

Still slept? Xia Yu knocked at the door of his bedroom. Nobody responded. So, she pushed it open quietly. Indeed, she saw him fast asleep. The sleeping face was so calm and serene as if it had been the face of a handsome hero in the manga, which enchanted her so much. She looked at him for a long time and couldn’t look away from his face. However, there was not enough time for her. She had to leave, otherwise the others had to wait for her.

Wen Xiaoqian had been already waiting for her before she arrived in the company, which made her upset. She just wanted Xia Yu to teach her brother-in-law a lesson but never expected the result to be like this.

It was fortunate that Xia Yu was safe and sound. Otherwise she would regret all her life. Therefore, she came to Tengfei early in the morning. Although Xiang Hui's tone was extremely serious and threatening when he called her, she didn't flinch.

"Sorry Miss Wen, I'm late." Xia Yu hurried to apologize.

"No, I came too early," Wen Xiaoqian smiled and said. "I am really sorry about what happened yesterday. I come to apologize to you on behalf of my brother-in-law."

Thinking of Wen Xiaoqian's brother-in-law, Xia Yu felt sorry for her sister who had to spend her life with that kind of husband.

"Is your sister all right?" Xia Yu ignored the man directly.

Wen Xiaoqian let out a sign and said. "Since you gave him a lesson yesterday, they had bought train tickets to go back to the countryside overnight. That guy may be restrained for a while, but I am not sure about what may happen in the future. After all, you know my sister doesn't have a strong personality."

Wen Xiaoqian didn't hold out any hope for her brother-in-law. Her only hope was that one day her sister could come to realize it and be stronger to say no to her husband.

"It's good that they return home. At least there aren't so many allures in the countryside." Although Xia Yu held a similar opinion of the man as Wen Xiaoqian, she still held a ray of hope that the man would come to his senses after what had happened.

Wen Xiaoqian nodded. "You are right. He's a fool to befriend someone who he doesn't even know at all. Last night, after he told me something about you, I asked an intimate friend of mine to investigate it. Thanks to Young Master Yan, otherwise it would be a disaster for my sister."

"That Master Eight is Li Tianci's man, the head of the security team of Zeng Family. On the surface, the turf is Master Eight's. But it actually belongs to Li Tianci. It is nothing out of the ordinary for them to force a woman into prostitution since they are backed up by Zeng family, coupled with Li Tianci's deep roots in gangdom.
