Chapter 114 Want to expose the secret? Lynn: I disagree!
The door was opened.
Shen Chaohuai and Su Qi were sitting on the sofa. Shen Chaohuai had his legs crossed, acting like the head of the household.
As for Su Qi, he took a sip of tea, one hand supporting himself on the sofa armrest, his hand fiddling with his hair, his expression somewhat arrogant.
Gu Yan slowly walked in and looked around: "The furnishings are completely different from when I was here."
Shen Chaohuai said irritably, "Auntie's back? Didn't she say she wouldn't be back for years?"
A sly glint flashed in Gu Yan's eyes: "I'm just back to take a look. I'll be leaving soon."
"Xiao Huai, have you encountered any difficulties managing the Shen family on your own? If you encounter any financial problems, come and find your aunt. Don't be shy."
"While I'm at it, I'll check if my sister and brother-in-law are enjoying their retirement at home."
Shen Chaohuai remained expressionless: "Thank you, Auntie, but I won't trouble you. When you were with our Shen family, it was during the most difficult time for the Gu family. How could I possibly ask you for money?"
Su Qi sneered, raised an eyebrow and looked over. Her fingers were interlocked and rested on her knees. Gu Yan had already said that, so she obviously didn't seem to be completely bankrupt.
After talking for a while, Gu Yan's gaze finally shifted from Shen Chaohuai to Su Qi.
Gu Yan walked over: "So Xiao Qi didn't leave after all. We were so worried when we heard you ran away from home."
Gu Yan reached out to touch Su Qi's hand, but Su Qi dodged it.
For some reason, Su Qi felt that Gu Yan's attitude towards him was a mixture of wanting to get close and feeling somewhat disgusted.
Seeing that Su Qi was not giving her any face, Gu Yan was too lazy to smile and instead snorted coldly, her red lips slightly moving.
"Xiao Qi is different now. She listened to her aunt. Look, she changed her clothes and got the same short hair as her aunt. Now she's a well-known celebrity."
"Your aunt saw your commercial endorsement before and bought some things to support your career. Look."
Gu Yan took out a high-end perfume endorsed by Su Qi from her bag, intending to give it to Su Qi.
Su Qi dodged again: "No need, I'm the spokesperson, the brand has given me plenty of samples, Auntie should keep them for herself."
Gu Yan couldn't get anywhere with Su Qi, her eyes twitched slightly, and her expression became more ruthless.
The thought that this woman knew her identity made Su Qi want to kill her on the spot.
There were so many paparazzi outside the Shen family's house that the guards and bodyguards couldn't handle them all. In addition, Shen Chaohuai was also a public figure, making it even more difficult for Su Qi to abandon morality and take action.
Gu Yan stood up: "Why haven't my sister and brother-in-law come down yet, even though I've been here for so long? Are they still resting?"
"I'll go up and have a look."
Shen Chaohuai shifted his gaze, wanting to block Gu Yan with his body: "Father and Mother are on a retirement trip and are in Maladeva. Aunt doesn't need to go up; the room has just been cleaned."
Gu Yan looked up, as if she knew something, but she just smiled and said, "Oh, is that so? Wouldn't it make the room dirty if I went up? Never mind, I'll just sit for a while and then leave."
Shen Chaohuai and Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Gu Yan then thought of something else: "By the way, Xiao Qi, isn't your agent also traveling in Maladev?"
Su Qi was taken aback. How did Gu Yan know about Lin En?
Gu Yan noticed her worries and explained, "You don't need to be nervous. I used to be a celebrity agent and worked with Lynn before, so I added her contact information. I have no intention of spying on you."
Lin Enai shared her itinerary on WeChat Moments, down to the specific locations.
Su Qi smiled ingratiatingly, never expecting that Lynn's vacation trip would become her weakness.
"She is indeed in Maladev; my aunt is thinking..."
Before Su Qi could finish speaking, Gu Yan interjected, "I'd like her to help me contact my sister and brother-in-law. You don't mind, do you?"
Shen Chaohuai slammed down his teacup and gave Gu Yan a deep look: "If you want to contact her, why not just call her yourself?"
Gu Yan deliberately said, "Heh, Xiao Huai, ever since you took over the family business, they've all changed their phone numbers, so I can't get in touch with them."
Shen Chaohuai rubbed his palms together: "That's none of my business. They just don't want to be bothered by others."
"Really?" Gu Yan hesitated. "But I remember that my brother-in-law wanted to join the leadership. Does he really have the leisure to travel? To abandon the scheme he's spent most of his life setting up?"
Shen Chaohuai had considered that Gu Yan would be difficult to deal with, but he hadn't expected this woman to be so persistent and clingy.
Gu Yan looked at Su Qi: "Don't look at your brother, I only want to hear your opinion."
Su Qi smiled, stood up, took out his phone and called Lynn: "Okay, as you wish."
The call connected, and Lynn could hear the clinking of cutlery on the other end.
Lynn was eating seafood, her voice muffled: "What? You want to take advantage of me but I don't? My vacation isn't over yet, don't even think about asking me to go back to work!"
Su Qi put the phone on speakerphone: "My aunt asked you to find my adoptive parents in Maladev so we can have a video call to meet them."
Even on their days off, working people have to do some trivial things, ruining their good mood for a big meal.
Lynn immediately launched into a tirade into the microphone: "I wasn't born to be bossed around by you upper-class people, Okey? Tell your aunt to get lost."
"If she's so worried about your adoptive parents' safety, why doesn't she come to Maladev herself? Why pretend to care so much about your adoptive parents? Who is she putting on this show for!"
Gu Yan's lips twitched as she listened, but she could only suppress her embarrassment.
Shen Chaohuai suppressed a laugh and coughed several times to cover up his feelings.
Lynn hadn't finished her rant when she said, "Wait, isn't your aunt's name Gu Yan?"
"Oh, that half-baked agent, she's not in the industry anymore. Why should I give her any face? Get out! All of you get out! Don't disturb my vacation!"
"Oh, sorry, babe, I didn't insult you. I'm just really angry and I have to get it off my chest. Bye."
Snapped--
The call was abruptly ended, and Gu Yan's expression was dark.
"This isn't my fault." Su Qi said helplessly, fiddling with his phone before putting it back in his pocket.
Gu Yan seemed to have lost all her strength and means, because Lynn was not cooperating, which limited her investigation of the Shen family's current suspicions to this extent.
Gu Yan was about to leave: "Since everyone is alright, shall I go?"
Shen Chaohuai couldn't wait for her to leave: "Take care, Auntie, I won't see you off."
As soon as Gu Yan stepped out of the villa, she heard the sound of something breaking coming from the third floor.
A woman shouted, "Swill! Why are you feeding me swill?!"
Aunt Wang's voice rang out: "That's not swill, it's just freshly squeezed juice, the color isn't very appealing..."
Gu Yan looked alert, while Shen Chaohuai and Su Qi tensed up at the same time.
Zhao Meihua lost her mind, and her voice deteriorated due to frequent shouting, becoming much worse than before.
"Upstairs is..."
Shen Chaohuai composed himself and said without changing his expression, "The maid who was punished with confinement for making a mistake has a mental illness. If she is released, she will bite people."
Gu Yan felt a little scared for some reason. Shen Chaohuai looked exactly like Shen Tiancheng: "Solitary confinement? It really is an old tradition of the Shen family."
Gu Yan sighed and turned to look at Su Qi: "Xiao Qi, come out with me for a bit, let's find a place to talk?"
When Shen Chaohuai heard that he was going to take Su Qi out for a private talk, he became somewhat flustered: "No, what is it that you have to say behind my back?"
"Don't be so controlling of your sister, okay?"
Shen Chaohuai wasn't trying to control Su Qi; he was clearly afraid that this woman would cause trouble.
Gu Yan will not let Su Qi and Shen Chaohuai off the hook if she doesn't get the result she wants. Why not go out and listen to what Gu Yan really wants?
Su Qi ultimately decided to go out with Gu Yan: "Okay, Auntie, this way please."
