Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn

Chapter 185: 185 Are you implying something?

Shi Lan glared at Chen Beini.

Chen Beini could only offer a silly smile and said, “Hehe, President Yan was just worried you’d feel pressured, so he had me keep it a secret from you. But as I see it, since he hit you, paying a few million in compensation is only right. He’s rich after all, or else, he could offer himself to you. Though, if it’s a second marriage… you might be at a slight disadvantage.”

Shi Lan: “…”

“Anyway, we’ve completely cut ties with that scumbag this time. But An Lan, why do I feel like Gu Chengyu’s disaster scenario seems a bit familiar?” Chen Beini touched her nose.

“You want a review?” the young lady retorted.

Chen Beini immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum, “No need, I know I was wrong. I’m just curious, you’re so smart, why did you fall for Gu Chengyu before? I’m a mere white lotus flower, and even I’m blind.”

“Who knows?” the young lady sneered, “That An Lan who fell for Gu Chengyu is already dead.”

An Lan thought she just fell for someone, but in fact, she had lost a life.

“Let’s go, time to rest.”

“We’re leaving just like that?” Chen Beini hadn’t had enough fun yet.

“Aren’t we in a hurry to thank President Yan?” Shi Lan said calmly, though in her heart she thought ‘Yan dog’ was really flying high. So, without even waiting to get back to the hotel, Shi Lan sent a WeChat message to President Yan.

Shi Lan: “President Yan, that was quite the grand gesture.”

When Yan Shixiu saw the message, he paused for a moment, adjusted his glasses, and replied, “I don’t quite understand?”

Big Boss Shi: “Spending like that, Shuangshi is bound to go under sooner or later!”

President Yan’s lips curved into a smile, teasing the romance-challenged Miss Shi, “So you’re already thinking about managing my money?”

Miss Shi wasn’t trying to manage yours; she was pained for the empire she had fought to establish.

Yan Shixiu: “Isn’t it more important to live life joyfully?”

Seeing President Yan’s words, Shi Lan suddenly realized: she was no longer that business tycoon expanding her dominion. She didn’t need to fret over the value of every penny anymore.

Shi Lan: “Yeah, that feels great. I almost love you to death.”

What kind of bold words were these?

President Yan: “Could it be, you’re hinting at something?”

Miss Shi gathered her thoughts and saw she had gone too far, then sent an emoji that said ‘can’t be bothered with you.’

President Yan chuckled knowingly and replied, “Happy birthday, little lion.”

The king of the jungle, basking in the sun, lazily licked his paws. Wasn’t this the very image of a boss? And, An Lan’s birthday just happened to be in Leo season.

The boss’s mood softened a bit, but she only haughtily replied with one word: “Hmm.”

Shi Lan thought, from now on she would celebrate An Lan’s birthday and forget about her own real birth date. That way, she might not despise the day so much.

And Yan Shixiu didn’t only wish her a happy birthday on WeChat, he also went online and posted a Weibo with no words, just the emojis of a lion and an old man.

Miss Shi, congratulations on your rebirth!

…

That night, it seemed the whole of Yancheng was celebrating An Lan’s birthday, which only emphasized Gu Chengyu’s misery even more.

Just a few days ago, his fans had been arrogantly blocking An Lan’s birthday support, and now, how the tables had turned.

At this moment, Gu Chengyu was sitting on the sofa in a daze while his broker was video conferencing with the company’s top brass.

“Chengyu, aren’t you going to answer the phone?”

The broker heard the ringtone and quickly reminded Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu looked down, picked up the phone, his mood incredibly low: “Mom, what’s the matter?”

“That little wretch who used to pester you, she’s come to ruin you again, hasn’t she? I’ll come to the set tomorrow, prepare yourself.” On the phone, a woman’s commanding voice came through.
