Chapter 95: Only When the Knife Falls on One's Own Body Does One Know the Pain

Qin Yan listened to the implication in He Yu's words, which was that she wanted Shi Laoshi to save Shi Yuanhong, but her attitude was so vile that it truly left one with no desire to pay her any mind.

But He Yu was Shi Laoshi's daughter-in-law, and as a junior, she found it difficult to speak up, so she could only look toward Shi Laoshi.

Shi Laoshi looked at this daughter-in-law with cold eyes; originally, his relationship with Shi Yuanhong was poor, and because of the matter with Ding Xin, he had kicked Shi Yuanhong out of the school, causing Shi Yuanhong to break ties with him completely.

He had no closeness with this daughter-in-law, He Yu, and had not seen her for several years.

"If you want to save Shi Yuanhong, think of a way yourself; don't waste your efforts here with me. I told him long ago that if he committed any more evil, I would absolutely not let him off!"

"How can you be so heartless? No wonder my mother-in-law wanted to divorce you!"

He Yu was resentful, her gaze sweeping over Qin Yan beside him, and she sneered, "Before, Yuanhong even said that you had taken a fancy to a female student in the academy and wanted her to be his stepmother. He didn't agree, so you disciplined him, and even tried to give the project he had always wanted to her husband to curry favor with her.

Dean Shi, you are at such an advanced age doing such things, aren't you afraid of people pointing fingers at your spine!"

Hearing her spread rumors, Shi Laoshi's face turned gloomy, and he gritted his teeth, "Nonsense! He Yu, without proof or evidence, just relying on a mouth to spread rumors and slander my student—have you thought about the consequences?"

Seeing him get angry, He Yu felt that she had hit a sore spot, "You are so agitated, it couldn't be that I guessed right, could it? Even now you are still protecting that female student and don't want to save your son. Dean Shi, you..."

"Slap!"

Qin Yan rushed over and slapped He Yu across the face.

Although she was Shi Laoshi's daughter-in-law, she was also in need of a lesson for not speaking like a human being.

"Ah!" He Yu stared at her in astonishment, "You dare hit me!"

"You are spreading rumors, so you deserve to be hit. One more word of nonsense, and I will hit you again!"

He Yu was furious and wanted to fight back, but Qin Yan grabbed her wrist and her neck, whispering, "You mean to tell me you knew nothing about what your husband has done all these years? You were merely maintaining appearances."

"Ms. He, I heard you have two daughters. If your daughter were played with by someone and then got pregnant, and nearly lost her life getting an abortion, would you help such a man seek justice?"

"You, you..." He Yu's eyes were bloodshot; her daughters were her lifeblood, and she would absolutely not allow anyone to bully them.

"Shi Laoshi and my grandfather were friends. He takes care of me because of my grandfather, while your husband spreads rumors about me because he once wanted to bully me too. If it weren't for him, I would likely be in graduate school, and my life might have been different."

He Yu struggled violently, but Qin Yan suppressed her firmly, pressing her thumb into her skin, and continued in her ear, "You ruined my reputation and hurt Mo Shu, so I will mess with your daughter. Only when the knife falls on one's own body does one know the pain. Imagine your daughter in the blood Mo Shu lost when she was angered into a faint."

He Yu thought of the bright red blood on the white bedsheet, then thought of her own daughters; she trembled all over with rage, but stopped struggling, glaring at her with bloodshot eyes.

Qin Yan let go and gripped her shoulders, "If Shi Yuanhong doesn't come back, no one will divide your family assets. Isn't it better for you to be free and at ease? Do you really want a diseased husband to return to your home, threaten the safety of your two daughters, turn you into a cripple, and make you miserable for the rest of your life?"

He Yu pursed her lips, rubbed her own neck, and turned to leave in silence.

"Ms. He, remember to go apologize to Mo Shu." Qin Yan reminded her loudly.

He Yu's footsteps faltered, then she quickened her pace and left.

Seeing He Yu leave, Shi Laoshi did not ask what Qin Yan had said and went with her to see Shi Yuanhong.

Shi Yuanhong on the hospital bed looked haggard; seeing Shi Laoshi, he acted as if he had found a savior and immediately cried for help, wanting him to save him.

At this moment, he was afraid of death.

He felt that his father would not stand by and watch him die.

Shi Laoshi looked at him coldly, "Honestly confess your crimes. For the sake of our father-son relationship, I will help you find a way to get treatment."

Hearing that he would not save him, Shi Yuanhong flew into a rage and tried to get out of bed like a madman, but his body had not yet recovered, and after two steps, he felt a tearing pain behind him; he covered his face in terror and sobbed.

He had only played with a few women, so why did he encounter such a thing?

But in the current situation, he had no choice but to admit it. The medicine used for Mo Shu's miscarriage was configured by Shi Yuanhong in the laboratory, and because the child was miscarried, it was impossible to trace it to Jia Jiang, so he withdrew perfectly while biting back at Shi Yuanhong; Shi Yuanhong being sentenced was a certainty.

Originally, if He Yu had found someone to help, it might have delayed things, but now He Yu was feigning illness, and after going to the hospital to get medicine once, she took her two daughters back to her maiden home to recuperate, so no one cared about him.

Qin Yan filmed a video and sent it to Ding Xin.

On the other side, Gu He'an went to the company after breakfast and opened his phone; unsurprisingly, it started ringing.

It was a harassment call.

It was because he wanted Qin Yan to meet him, but he hadn't expected Qin Yan to use call forwarding, so those calls all went to him; he had no choice but to have people stop it.

But soon he would receive many inexplicable calls, from buyers and sellers alike, making his scalp tingle.

This phone number was tied to much of his important information, and it was impossible to change it for the time being, so he had to turn the phone off.

He was only notified that something had happened when he arrived at the company.

A board meeting was being held today, and it was rumored that the person who owned twenty percent of the company's shares would be seen at the board meeting today.

Hearing this news, Gu He'an's face looked ugly; that person must be the one who obtained Qin Yan's shares.

At this time, he received a call from Yao Wen, asking why he had turned off his phone last night and why he couldn't be reached; the lawsuit Qin Yan filed against him had been registered for investigation, and a subpoena had been issued. This matter was quite troublesome; if this lawsuit were to blow up, his reputation would be ruined, so it would be best to settle out of court.

Gu He'an rubbed his temples; the public opinion on the internet had left him exhausted, and combined with the injuries on his body, his sleep quality had become extremely poor.

Before, when he started working at Gu Corporation, there were times when he had trouble sleeping; at that time, Qin Yan would give him acupuncture and then send him sachets to help him sleep.

The sachets had long been thrown into the trash, and now that he had trouble sleeping, he could only take sleeping pills.

He discussed with Yao Wen that he would go to talk to Qin Yan.

Before, he still felt that Qin Yan loved him so much that as long as he showed weakness and gave in, Qin Yan would negotiate with him.

But reality told him how naive his thinking was.

He called Lin Yan over; since Qin Yan was heartless and unrighteous, he didn't need to be polite to the Qin family either—he would withdraw the funds provided to the Qin Family Company.

Lin Yan advised him not to be too impulsive; if the Qin Family Company went bankrupt, it would be even more impossible for him and Qin Yan to be together.

Gu He'an sneered; it was Qin Yan who insisted on going against him, so she should pay the price!

Seeing his complexion was very poor, Lin Yan did not try to persuade him further.

The situation was bad now, and it was not something she could control; moreover, the procedures for the shares belonging to her had already been completed, and now they were just waiting for an opportunity to go get a divorce.

At nine-thirty, the board meeting began.

There were five board members of Gu Corporation in total, but after the last crisis, one director withdrew, and another was added; however, this person who owned the shares did not appear, but instead handed all their rights over to Gu He'an.

This was why Gu He'an was able to become the president of Gu Corporation after recovering from his serious illness.

Now, it seemed the situation had changed.

Gu He'an sat in the main seat, watching the directors walk into the office one by one, until the last one walked into the office right on time.

Seeing that man's face, Gu He'an's expression sank instantly.
