She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Their trip back to Yuncheng remained unchanged.

The next day, Lin Qingran and Bo Ye continued to tour Haicheng with Lingdang.

However, it was obvious that Lin Yuyan had no intention of giving up.

Almost the instant they left the hotel, Lin Qingran sensed someone secretly following her.

However, this time, Lin Yuyan was clearly not so free.

After secretly observing, Bo Ye told Lin Qingran that besides Lin Yuyan, there were at least five or six other people following her in the dark.

However, whether she is following Lin Qingran or Lin Yuyan is hard to say.

Lin Yuyan was taken on a stroll through the downtown business district of Haicheng by Lin Qingran, and finally couldn't help but lose her temper with the bodyguard beside her.

"Why are you following me?!" Lin Yuyan snapped.

"Your job is to protect me, not to stalk me!"

"Excuse me, Miss Lin," the bodyguard said politely, "Young Master instructed that you not to wander around. He will come to pick you up personally later."

"I told you I'm not going back!" Lin Yuyan said anxiously.

"Doesn't my brother have a brain? Does he want to control me along with Mom?"

The bodyguard didn't say anything, but continued to stand dutifully beside Lin Yuyan.

Lin Yuyan could no longer bear it and turned to leave.

As a wealthy young lady, is she really going to be surrounded by a group of bodyguards and not have any free time at all?

She walked angrily for a while before realizing that she had lost track of Lin Qingran and the others.

He became furious and slammed his fist against the wall next to him.

"Damn it, it's all your fault!" Lin Yuyan turned around and scolded.

The bodyguard simply said, "Miss, please don't leave yet. The young master just sent a message; he's already downstairs in the mall."

"Are you all crazy? Or can't you understand human language? I'd rather die than go back!"

Lin Yuyan turned and ran, heading straight for the elevator.

Before they could even step into the elevator, a group of menacing men in black appeared in front of them.

Lin Yuyan retreated repeatedly, staring at them warily.

"What are you doing?"

"Miss, please don't worry, we are sent by the young master," said the head bodyguard.

"Are you going to forcibly take me back?" Lin Yuyan asked in a shrill voice, drawing frequent glances from those around her.

Unwilling to give up, she turned around to leave from the other side, only to find that she was also surrounded by people behind her.

Shen Qiyan, his face grim, slowly pushed through the crowd and walked out.

"Yanyan, stop fooling around and come back with your brother."

"Brother, are you serious?" Lin Yuyan exclaimed in disbelief.

"You promised to help me, what kind of spell did Mom give you to make you like this too!"

Shen Qiyan frowned and shook his head helplessly.

"There are many things that can't be explained to you in a short time. Anyway, Mom said I should take you back. You'd better come with me quickly, or something might happen that could affect your marriage with Fu Xiuheng."

"Getting married? Does that mean I have to stay home all the time after I get married?!" Lin Yuyan said angrily.

“I saw Fu Xiuheng go to Yuncheng with my own eyes. He even went to the Jiang family’s residence. Doesn’t that prove anything?”

"Yuyan, you're in a bit too much of a hurry right now," Shen Qiyan said seriously.

"If there's anything, we can talk about it back home. Don't make a scene here, aren't you ashamed?"

Lin Yuyan stared wide-eyed at Shen Qiyan in shock.

"Even you think I'm a disgrace? Are you still my brother?"

Little did he know that after being summoned by Zhou Lan, Shen Qiyan himself was under immense pressure.

He's already done a good job of patiently coaxing Lin Yuyan for so long.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he forcibly grabbed Lin Yuyan's wrist.

"Now, come back with me."

Shen Qiyan dragged Lin Yuyan away from the mall, ignoring her struggles, and shoved her into his car downstairs.

"Drive," Shen Qiyan coldly ordered.

"Let me out!" Lin Yuyan tried to pry open the door handle, but the driver had locked it. She couldn't break free at all and could only turn her head and look at Shen Qiyan with a face full of resentment.

"Is this how you treat me? Am I still your sister?"

Shen Qiyan was getting a headache from Lin Yuyan's noise. He rubbed his forehead speechlessly and said in a hoarse voice.

"Yuyan, can you please stop making a scene? Do you want your whole family to embarrass themselves with you?!"

Lin Yuyan stared at Shen Qiyan in shock, her heart feeling as if it had been pierced by needles.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked out as she spoke.

"Brother, you know why I insisted on coming to Yuncheng. If Fu Xiuheng had just married me obediently, I wouldn't have disobeyed Mother and left home on my own!"

Although Shen Qiyan also felt that Lin Yuyan was a bit willful, he had grown up with her since childhood and usually doted on her the most.

Hearing the sob in her voice, Shen Qiyan felt bad too.

They quickly softened their tone and offered gentle words of comfort.

"Don't cry, it's your fault, I shouldn't have said that."

Tears streamed down Lin Yuyan's cheeks, her face filled with resentment.

“Brother Xiuheng is getting colder and colder to me, Mom is starting to control me, and even your attitude towards me has changed. Do you not want me anymore? If so, just say so. I won’t stay here.”

"Silly girl, what are you saying?" Shen Qiyan quickly pulled Lin Yuyan into his arms, patting her back to comfort her.

"Alright, alright, stop crying," Shen Qiyan comforted her gently.

"Then tell me, why does Mom insist on making me go back? And why do you listen to Mom so much?"

Shen Qiyan turned his head away somewhat uncomfortably, "You'll find out later."

"I don't care!" Lin Yuyan struggled stubbornly. "I want to know now!"

From childhood to adulthood, the adults have always catered to her wishes, but in the past month, everyone's attitude has changed drastically.

This made Lin Yuyan feel very uncomfortable, as if she were trapped between two walls and couldn't move at all.

"If you don't tell me, I won't go back!"

Helpless, Shen Qiyan pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Mom didn't tell me much. She only told me that I had to stay in the capital until I married Fu Xiuheng. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

Shen Qiyan sighed, "I don't know what my mother meant, but she told me that if you continue to act recklessly, our Lin family will also be affected."

Lin Yuyan looked incredulous.

"Affected? The Lin Group is so large and powerful, what could possibly be affected?"

Lin Yuyan's eyes darkened. "Could it be that someone is plotting against our neighbors? But what does that have to do with me leaving the capital?"

Shen Qiyan was unaware of the details, but Zhou Lan's account sounded very convincing, so Shen Qiyan had no choice but to make the trip.
