But that confidence comes from her sister's connections. What about An Cinian? Is she really that unafraid of offending anyone?

Standing silently to the side, Lan Mingqing, leaning on his cane, finally couldn't help but speak up: "Second Miss, it's banquet time now. This is a family matter. Why don't we go back and talk about it?"

"What's it to you... I'm letting it go because you're my elder, but since you know this is a family matter, what right do you have to interfere?"

She was completely disrespectful and didn't take Lan Mingqing seriously at all. It was ridiculous that she thought Lan Mingqing was the one to lecture her about her affairs.

"How dare you! This is the head of the Lan family! An Yu, you must have lost your mind!"

He threatened to slap An Cinian.

But An Cinian kept her eyes closed and waited for a long time, but the slap was reluctant to fall.

Strange, her original intention was to provoke Anping, slap herself, and push him into the limelight again, but things didn't turn out quite as she expected.

There was no movement, and An Cinian opened her eyes in confusion.

A tall man was already standing beside him, tightly gripping Anping's hand. Following that hand's gaze, Anping finally fixed on the man, and was stunned, almost wondering if he was hallucinating.

Qi Yan! What's he doing here? His name isn't on the list.

"Qi Yan? Mr. Qi... Mr. Qi, what brings you here?"

Lan Mingqing was stunned. Things would definitely not go as they expected with this person's arrival. This person was extremely arrogant and didn't take them seriously at all.

Qi Yan?

Anping knew this name well; it was legendary. Among the younger generation, besides the princelings of the Beijing circle, it was this Qi Yan. These two were comparable; both were madmen.

One is driven mad by love, the other is driven mad by ruthlessness; they are two extremes!

"What, you're not coming?"

His eyes were terrifyingly cold. This person really acted as if he didn't exist, daring to bully An Cinian right in front of him?

Then he remembered that he had touched Anping's hand, so he quickly shook it off. He felt that such a person had dirtied his hands.

Turning around, he looked at An Cinian, who was standing still, not knowing how to avoid him. Just like when they were kids, she was so silly. He took off his black glove and took An Cinian's right hand.

What is he doing?

Looking at Qi Yan, she tried to pull her hand away, but the man's strength was extraordinary.

An Cinian is really lucky. Not only are the princes of the Beijing circle not enough, but now there's President Qi!

"No, no, it's an honor to have Mr. Qi grace our humble abode with his presence." Anping was not angry at all; instead, he shook his head and bowed like a lapdog, not even afraid of laughing so hard his face would cramp up.

Hu Zhenyi leaned close to Shu Yunji, covering half of her mouth, and whispered, "Xiaoyun, what's going on? Who is this man?"

"I heard Lin Yan say that this person is very powerful in Nancheng and has been bothering Xiao Nian lately."

"Oh, does Xiaoyu know that this madman is going to get angry again later?"

In the end, the two could only shake their heads helplessly, sighing in the same way: being too popular isn't good either, because sometimes it can easily attract unwanted romantic attention.

Before there was Luohe, now there is Qiyan.

Qi Yan tilted his head, smiled disdainfully, and looked directly into Lan Mingqing's eyes: "Lan Mingqing, your company's problems haven't been resolved yet, have you? You're so confident that you've come to Beicheng?"

When this was mentioned, Lan Mingqing clenched his hands tightly. If it weren't for this person constantly suppressing their family and acquiring part of their company's shares, a bunch of idiots would have actually believed whatever Qi Yan said.

He wanted to say something, but when he looked up at Qi Yan, who was staring at him expressionlessly, he deflated and dared not speak. He couldn't go against Qi Yan at this time, or his fate would be as tragic as Wang Feng's.

Seeing that An Cinian was still resisting, Qi Yan let go of her hand. He had come to support An Cinian, so this would make it easier for her to handle things.

She twirled her hand. Since she couldn't be pushed to the forefront, it didn't matter. Anyway, Xie Yu'an had really spoiled her temper lately. She slapped Anping across the face.

The entire audience was shocked. This...this guy actually hit me!

Anping was the same. Bai Yiting quickly helped her man up and glared at An Cinian across from her.

An Cinian slapped Bai Yiting again. Ouch! She slapped her a lot today, and her hand hurt. But she was actually very happy.

Tonight is the best night I've had in all these years!

"Do you like it? I'm going to repay you for all the hurt you caused me in the past."

Everyone in the room was stunned, swallowing hard. They were all too shocked to speak by An Cinian's actions tonight. This was just too audacious!

An Cinian completely disregarded the surrounding audience, her face cold, her eyes filled with determination and resolve. "Anping, I'm giving you one last chance. Sign or not?"

An Cinian had evidence of his crimes, and then looked at Qi Yan standing next to An Cinian. This person was still here.

"An Yu, we've raised you for so many years, how could you be such an ungrateful wretch?"

What ridiculous lines! How could he say such things with such a clear conscience? Even trees have bark, but people have no shame.

"Ungrateful wretch?" An Cinian closed her eyes tightly, trying to suppress the pain and anger in her heart, and stared coldly at the man who was spouting nonsense. "You hit me, you scolded me, you didn't feed me when I didn't listen to you, you locked me up, and you even threatened me with my grandfather. Now you're going to sell me for money. Anping, ask yourself honestly, did you really raise me?"

Every word she uttered was meant to be a scathing rebuke of Anping, this two-faced man!

She turned her back to them, her slender hands reaching behind her neck, her hair swept to one side, and slowly pulled down the zipper.

And so, her back was laid bare before everyone, a mocking reminder: "I need to show you how much you've hurt me!"

She didn't dare to close her eyes before, but today she had the courage!

The crowd stared intently at An Cinian's back, each covering their mouths. My God, so many scars! What kind of person could do such a perverted thing to a beautiful woman?

It's absolutely unbearable to look at!

Some people even turned their heads away, unable to bear watching any longer.

"Anping, An Cinian isn't your biological daughter, but you can't treat her like this!" Zhang Yin and Li Meng, the couple, couldn't stand it anymore.

They also have daughters. They don't say they'll give their daughters the best, but they'll give them everything they have. They are the most wonderful girls in the world.

Seeing the people around her chattering, Qi Yan didn't want to pay attention to what they were discussing. She pulled An Cinian over and zipped up the cheongsam.

I never imagined that An Cinian would have such a hard time all these years.

Shu Yunji and Hu Zhenyi were heartbroken, their eyes were red. Those scars were painful to look at. What kind of beast was that!

An Cinian turned her head, her eyes slightly reddening.

She was treated this way in her past life, so in this life she escaped when she was eleven years old and went to Aikon Orphanage where she met Lin Ya's mother. Lin Ya's mother treated her very well and took care of her.

These so-called good parents, for the sake of the family's interests, begged her to come back, bringing up her grandfather and threatening her while saying that her grandfather missed her very much, so how could she possibly come back?

In the end, the plan was to trick her into coming back so that he could sell her.

How dare he spout such nonsense now? Anping has become utterly shameless.

"Xiao Nian, stop wasting your breath on him. If he doesn't agree, I'll send the documents I have to everyone and send him to jail." Shu Yunji couldn't stand it anymore.
