Chapter 72: Extra 6: Shan Lingtong’s Transformation Part 2

It was Yan Wei who gave off such an impression, and he happened to be the only one present who noticed her discomfort.

Ignoring the family’s incessant arguments, Yan Wei walked up to Shan Lingtong and coldly asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”

Then, he glanced at her legs and furrowed his brow slowly, saying, “You’re bleeding.”

There was a moment of silence in the room. Shan Lingtong saw that Yan Ye was completely stunned, neither coming over nor running away.

On the other hand, Mao Jinghua and Yan Yifei, upon learning of her condition, immediately thought of giving Yan Wei a piece of their mind.

As she watched the three of them arguing loudly and venting their anger, Shan Lingtong closed her eyes in despair.

Suddenly, she felt herself being embraced and lifted off the ground. Shan Lingtong opened her eyes.

Yan Wei lowered his head, furrowing his brow, and said, “I’ll take you to the hospital first.”

What was the meaning of her existence?

She spent an entire night staring at the window by her bedside until the hospital door opened the next day.

She turned her head and saw Yan Wei coming in.

“How are you?” Yan Wei asked her.

It had been two days since the child was gone, and Yan Ye hadn’t visited during these two days. Her body had also mostly recovered, and she could be discharged.

“I’m fine,” Shan Lingtong expressed her gratitude to him without being cold.

Yan Wei walked up to her bed and pushed a file folder with documents in it towards her, saying, “Yuyao’s shares.”

Shan Lingtong turned to look at him, with a confused looked on her face.

Yan Wei had a cold face, and his demeanor didn’t change much. He continued, “Take it. The family is taking back my shares, and I agreed, but I think a small portion of it belongs to you.”

Shan Lingtong didn’t understand, and Yan Wei explained, “Back then, if I hadn’t fought with him, he wouldn’t have become so agitated and irrational. Perhaps… your child would have been fine.”

Shan Lingtong shook her head and handed the documents back. “I was already planning to terminate the pregnancy. I didn’t want the child to be born without a father.”

Yan Wei stood up and said, “The shares have been transferred. Just sign here. And if you don’t want them, give them back to Yan Ye.”

Yan Wei clearly didn’t want to explain any further; he had done his duty. After speaking, he was about to leave.

Shan Lingtong stopped him and asked, “What about Yan Ye?”

Yan Wei turned to look at her, and his indifferent face suddenly smiled. He said, “He will start his own life, and you shouldn’t dwell on the past forever. Some things require dedication. It’s enough to pay the price once.”

Yan Wei sighed and continued, “What I mean is, losing the child was our fault, and it has nothing to do with whether you chose to terminate it or not. This is my compensation, and you deserve it. If you feel guilty about the child, then accept it. Live a good life; it won’t blame you.”

After Yan Wei left, Shan Lingtong briefly examined the documents. In general, she still didn’t understand it very well. But she understood one thing: this share could bring her tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, each year.

Her life suddenly felt like it had opened a ladder to the top. Her life… was making a comeback.

In the first year of receiving dividends from Yu Yao, she paid off all her debts.

When she struggled fiercely in the entertainment industry, Yan Wei suddenly provided her with the resources for “Deep Palace.”

From then on, she embarked on the path of a queen’s comeback in the entertainment industry.

Along with the resources for “Deep Palace,” there was also news of Shang Qiwen being imprisoned. Shan Lingtong was absolutely stunned. Why did Shang Qiwen choose to offend Yan Wei’s wife instead of causing trouble for her?

But none of that mattered. In any case, Shang Qiwen was now behind bars, which was just a trivial matter to her.

Hearing that Shang Qiwen’s child had also not been spared, Shan Lingtong strangely felt a sense of wonder. She wasn’t sure if this was karma for Yan Ye or something else.

Shan Lingtong chose to join Yuyao because she held shares in the company. With Yuyao, she could access better resources.

From then on, Shan Lingtong’s name became synonymous with driving traffic and viewership.

Her father didn’t change much, but Shan Lingtong chose not to give him money. After being beaten up by debt collectors once, he became more restrained.

Relatives also stopped lending money to her father. He eventually gave up gambling and started taking up fishing as a hobby.

Shan Lingtong thought it was a good interest, and she wholeheartedly supported his new hobby.

As Shan Lingtong’s popularity continued to rise, Yan Ye didn’t pursue a new girlfriend.

Until one day, when Shan Lingtong returned to the company from a shoot, her manager told her, “Mr. Yan wants to see you.”

Shan Lingtong frowned. She and Yan Ye had stopped talking or interacting for years, almost forming an unspoken agreement between them. What was there to say when they met?

But since she was called, she wasn’t afraid. After all these years, what did she have to fear?

Yuyao liked using large wooden doors, especially for important areas. The CEO’s office door was no exception—thick and heavy, it commanded respect.

Shan Lingtong knocked on the door, and Yan Ye’s voice came from inside.

“Come in!”

Shan Lingtong entered, not finding Yan Ye sitting behind his desk. She paused, looking around until she spotted him in the adjacent sitting area.

He looked up at her and gestured toward the opposite seat, saying, “Please, have a seat.”

Shan Lingtong closed the door and took a seat.

“What can I do for you, Mr. Yan?” Shan Lingtong asked.

Yan Ye picked up a teapot and poured a cup of tea for Shan Lingtong, saying, “Lingtong, it’s been three years.”

Shan Lingtong didn’t respond. Yan Ye looked at her and continued, “I’m sorry for that time.”

Shan Lingtong reached for the tea cup, took a sip, and replied with a smile, “Mr. Yan, you’re taking this too seriously. It’s been three years, and besides, I’ve benefited as well. There’s no need to apologize at this point.”

Yan Ye’s hand trembled for a moment. Shan Lingtong had changed; she was no longer the girl who was so innocent and could only rely solely on him.

She had become more self-reliant, a result of overcoming various challenges and growing as a person.

But this growth had nothing to do with Yan Ye.

Yan Ye gripped the teacup tightly and finally said, “I spoke too late. You’ve endured more than you should have.”

“If it’s about that matter, I already know,” Shan Lingtong replied. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll head downstairs.”

Yan Ye stared at her intently. When he saw she was truly about to leave, he called out, “Lingtong, do I still have a chance?”

Shan Lingtong paused, and Yan Ye smiled, saying, “Do I have one more chance?”

“What do you mean?” Shan Lingtong didn’t think it could be what she was thinking because Yan Ye was too proud.

“You know,” Yan Ye began, “I want to be with you again.”

His voice echoed in the spacious office. Shan Lingtong clenched her hands and said, “Don’t joke like this with me.”

Yan Ye stood up and tried to reach for Shan Lingtong, but she dodged. She continued, “Yan Ye, have you forgotten how you treated me like trash back then?”

Yan Ye felt a pang of guilt and couldn’t find the words to respond.

“How can you say something like this?” Shan Lingtong took a deep breath and finally said, “I know, I know what you mean, but let me make it clear now: I refuse.”

Yan Ye seemed to have expected this response. He sighed and said, “I knew it would be like this, but I still wanted to try, Lingtong.”

Shan Lingtong turned to leave, and Yan Ye escorted her to the door, saying, “I didn’t want to disturb you, but sometimes, I can’t help myself. I’ve grown up, matured, and I’ve realized that I want to be with you again. I’ll pursue you, and if you find it bothersome, just tell me.”

Shan Lingtong chuckled bitterly and said, “You’re already on your second committed relationship, Mr. Yan.¹The translation said “You’re already on your second marriage, Mr. Yan.” which doesn’t make sense so I phrased it differently.“

Yan Ye: “…”

With that, she walked away.

The next day, when Shan Lingtong arrived at the company, she heard the following announcement over the intercom:

“Miss Shan Lingtong, please proceed immediately to the CEO’s office on the top floor for breakfast. I repeat, Miss Shan Lingtong, please proceed immediately to the CEO’s office on the top floor for breakfast.”

Shan Lingtong: “…”

Shan Lingtong felt like everyone in the vicinity was staring at her. She wanted to pretend she hadn’t heard, but the announcement kept repeating.

Unable to bear it any longer, Shan Lingtong headed straight to the CEO’s office, burst in, and scolded, “Have you lost your mind? Broadcasting like this? Publicly announcing it? Huh?”

Yan Ye was seated behind his office desk, which was large and beautifully set with two bowls of rice porridge and several side dishes, all very enticing.

“Is it troubling you? Well, next time, I’ll just give you a call, but your phone has to be reachable, right? Otherwise, I’d be worried. That’s why I had to use the intercom,” Yan Ye replied with an innocent look, as if he wasn’t the one who had called her through the intercom. Or as if he had no other choice.

Shan Lingtong: “I won’t eat. I’m telling you now, I’m very troubled, so don’t call me like this again.”

Yan Ye nodded and said, “I understand. I’ll agree to your request.”

Watching Yan Ye’s smiling face, Shan Lingtong left the office feeling somewhat defeated.

Yan Ye was being overly optimistic. Did he think I would change my mind just like that? Shan Lingtong sneered, dreaming on!

She then gave a fierce glare at the office and hurriedly went to her manager’s office to discuss some issues related to her upcoming film.

However, just as she had settled down in her manager’s office, the company’s intercom broadcast came again: “Miss S, the CEO asked if you’re still having breakfast. If you are, he personally wants to send it to you! Muah muah! (kiss sounds)”

Shan Lingtong: “…” Wasn’t this the same as calling her by name? Go die somewhere, thank you!!!

Sansukini: Aiya. So forceful, without any sincerity. It reminds me of people proposing to girls in public because the girl is less likely to reject you because they don’t want any embarassment. Well, this arc will remain open-ended. But for me, she deserves someone so much better than him. Even though they were the original CP in the novel, after his antics, I don’t think it’s worth it to forgive him especially since he didn’t even apologized nor showed any remorse (as it says there, they haven’t talked) for the past three years.

Please support my new novel, coming soon. It will replace Married to the Male Lead’s Hidden Rich Brother, this novel, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It’s an ancient era genre called “Casting Nets to Catch a Husband.” It was about a beautiful girl who was sold by her family and became a prostitute.(More like a geisha because she just performs dances and sings for the men.) She died before they can sell her body to the highest bidder and woke up (rebirth) to the time before her family sold her. Here you go…

Casting Nets to Catch a Husband

Liu Yu, with her exquisite beauty, was sold into a brothel by her heartless parents in her previous life and died on the night she left the pavilion in the most luxurious brothel in Yangzhou City.

When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the year she was fifteen, just one month before being sold to the matchmaker by her parents.

With her rebirth, there was one urgent matter at hand.
Within a month, she had to find a good husband for herself, escape from the Liu family, and avoid the fate of being sold in her previous life.

She took all the money she could spare, knocked on the door of the matchmaker’s house in Changfeng Town. And as soon as she left the matchmaker’s house, she met a young man. The matchmaker whispered to her, “Lu Chengxiao, the third son of the Lu family, the owner of the Lu Feng Cloth Shop.”

Liu Yu understood; he was her third target.

Recently, Lu Chengxiao had encountered a beautiful woman several times and admired her. He was thinking it was a match destined for marriage.

It wasn’t until one day when they met in the mountains, the beautiful woman twisted her foot and couldn’t move so he carried her all the way.

When he returned to deliver the medicine, he saw the beautiful woman walking lightly, with no sign of a twisted foot. The heat behind his ears receded, and his eyes grew colder. He turned and went back to Changfeng Town.

Several days later, the beautiful woman shyly handed him a purse, thanking him for his help.

Lu Chengxiao sneered, “Thanking me for helping? That day, I turned back and saw the lady walking normally. Why would I need to help?”

“I can’t accept this purse. If we privately exchange gifts, it might be hard to explain later. It’s better for the lady to keep her dignity.”

Alright, this one couldn’t work. Liu Yu took back the purse, curtsied, and walked away…

Lu Chengxiao thought it was a decisive rejection, until several days later, he saw Liu Yu drop an embroidered handkerchief in front of the bookshop where the young man, Chen Sheng, worked. The gentleman picked up the scented handkerchief, and the beautiful woman blushed and thanked him. What a beautiful encounter.

Lu Chengxiao: “…”

A wave of frustration welled up in his chest, and he clenched his teeth as he tossed and turned in his dreams.

Until later, when he saw Liu Yu about to stage a falling-into-the-water scene, Lu Chengxiao panicked. He jumped into the river before Chen Sheng, pulled her ashore, held her slender waist, and couldn’t help but feel both angry and pained. He didn’t even want to ask more questions. He just held her in his arms and almost begged, “Don’t you want a good marriage? I’ll marry you!”

【This is a story that begins with scheming, falls into love, with a heart full of sincerity, and ends up in a marriage. It is also a story of two major businesses rising, with elements of urban and farming life.]
